The Ministers Union, composed of

the following resolutions, and ordered
that the secretary furnish a copy Of

undertakers of the city.
"Inasmuch as a custom appears TO
be growing in our community, of de-
ferring the holding Of funeral services
until the Sabbath day, and this being
not only day Of rest and worship,
but also the busiest day for the mem

First. That we urge the discon-
tinuance of Sabbath funerals, except in
cases where the state demands a bur-

Second. That we urge brief SER
vices, both at the church or home, and
at the grave. 4SA
Third. That we discourage the GUS
tom Of viewing the remains at these
services, either at the church or home,
and most decidedly at the grave.
Fourth. That we discourage all ex-
cessive expense or display at funerals.
Fifth. That we urge the public to
discontinue the habit Of inviting more
than one minister to conduct the fun

Sixth. That the undertakers of

man Mccormick undertook AT first to
deny utterly that any such attempt
was being made. He said the charge
was "arrant nonsense, and absolute
ly untrue"
Then he learned. that the Republl-
can national committee had proof
mat the charge was true. Thereup-
on Mr.. Mccormick sought cover by
making public a letter written BY the
Texas state chairman, instructing
the bagmen how to violate the law
and escape the penltentiary and an
nouncing that he and the rest or the
Democratic national committee re-
pudiated 1t. But great deal moro
Is needed from Mr.. Mccormick in
the way Of explanation and de-
NAL before the case Is closed. Some
thing is needed also from Postmaster
General Burleson, in whose state,
TeHas, this attempt at extortion was
made Something is needed also
from d. Q. Roper. who resigned the
oilicc OF first assistant postmaster
general to become a member OF the
Democratic national campaign com
mittee, cited by Mr. Ridgway as au-
thority for the extortlon scheme.
When Mr.. Mccormick has given due
attention to this case from Texas he
may be ready to take up the case
OF the state OF Washington and issue
"a reputation Of the bagmen who
are so active In collecting assessment
from federal oiilCeholders there. He
may ind time to explain the differ
ence In the rate Of assessment in
washington from that in Texas.
After that perhaps Mr.. Mccormick
VIII take advantage OF the oppor-
tunity to tell what A. T. Schmitt. Of
Louisville, Ky. Is doing in the way
OF stimulating postmasters and 9th
ers to join the Wilson permanent
organization" and to contribute to
the cause, Mr.. Mccormick may OK
plain whether this is the organiza-
ton that Is to keep record Of the
loyal who contribute and the dis
loyal who do not contribute. Mr..
Schmitt happens to be the postmaster
or Louisville and is in a specially
favored position, both for influencing
other postmasters and for other work
which, IN view Of the provisions of
the law alluded to by Mr.. Ridgway.
require delicacy Of touch. The
emphatic manner in which Mr.. Mo
Cormick denied responsibility for and
repudiated the extortion game in
Iexas sets up the natural presump-
ton that he Will take similar
course regarding these in Washing
ton and Kentucky cases. And when
he has settled them there will be
several others for him to tackle. Mr..
Mccormick is likely to be fairly busy
In the reputation line.

An Evening Echo.

There may be some who think the
world began and progress commenced
on March A, 1913, but not the Amer
lean people. Our opponents present
a record of broken promises. They
promised to reduce the cost of living;
they have not touched it. They prom
ised to prevent waste and extrava-
gance; they have been more extrava-
CANT than any preceding Congress;
they have betrayed the merit system;
they have appointed useless officers.
They promised that the rights of
American citizens should be main
tanned throughout the world; they
have shamelessly failed to perform
that promise. American lives have
been sacrificed, American property
destroyed and American commerce in
terupted. We have not had protec-
ton for American rights.-CHARLES
SE. HUGHES.

Grafton OF Labor OF Albany:
My friends, there are some
who regard organized labor as a
source OF strife and menace OF
difficulty I regard It as fine
opportunity for the amelIora-
ton of the condition OF men
working with no other purpose
than to make the most Of them
selves and to achieve something
for their families. I regard It as
fine opportunity for the reali-
cation Of the highest benefits for
those that every patriotic citizen
feels most sollcitous about to see
that everything should be done
for their continued progress.
Under wise leadership. with
statesmanlike guidance, with a
sincere intention to promote the
benefit OF the community and to
secure honorable progress, the
mission Of labor organizations is
one of the finest that any asso-
citation of men could guard. To-
day we have a realization OF
what can be accomplished.
The verdict OF labor upon Mr..
Hughes was given after he had re.
signed the office OF governor. In an
editorial in the Legislative News. the
official organ OF New York's State
Federation of Labor. in the issue OF
October 10. 1910. II said:
Now that Governor Hughes
has retired from politics and
assembled to a place on the high
est judicial tribunal in the world
the fact can be acknowledged
without hurting anybody's polit-
ical corns, that he was the great
est friend OF labor laws that
ever occupied the governors
chair at Albany. During his two
terms he has signed fifty-six la
Dor laws. including among them
the best labor laws ever enacted
In this or any other state. He
also urged the enactment Of la
Dor laws in his message to the
legislature, even going so far as
to place the demand for a labor
law in one Of his messages to an
extra session OF the legislature.
Only 162 labor laws have
been enacted in this state since
its erection in 1777--in 1873
years. One-third of these, ex-
ceeding in quality all of the
others. have been enacted and
signed during Governor
Hughes's term Of three years
and nine months.
These are the utterances and the
records of the Democratic and Re
publican candidates for president OF
the United States when neither as
plred to the presidency. From these
records and these utterances let the
laboring people of the country de-
termine which one is most likely to
give them a square deal.

Lnbor. Wilson. Hughes.


Tho laboring man who is inclined
to look with favor upon the candida
cy Of President Wilson, and to count
him as the real friend of the labor
ing class should read and carefully
re-read what Mr.. Wilson said con
corning labor labor organizations
and labor leaders when he was not a
candidate for president and therefore
not seeking to secure their votes. 1t
IS the test as to his attitude toward
labor.
Delivering baccalaureate sermon
before the graduating class of Prince
ton University on the thirteenth day
of June, 19O9-only seven years ago
-he said:
You know what the usual
standard of the employee is in
our day. II is to give as little
as he may for his wages. Labor
is standardized by the trade I'M
ion. and this is the standard to
which 1t is meant to conform.
No one is suffered TO do more
than the average workman can
do. In some trades and handi-
crafts no one is suffered to do
more than the least skillful of
his fellows can do within the
hours allotted to days labor,
and no one can work out OF
hours at all or volunteer any
thing beyond the minimum.
] need not point out how
economically disastrous such
regulation of labor Is. The la
Dor OF America is rapidly be-
coming Improbable under its
present regulation by those who
have determined to reduce 1t to
a minimum. Our economic SUI
premacy may be lost, because
tho country grows more and
moro full Of Improbable SER
wants.
In reply 10 an invitation to speak
at banquet OF anti-strlke and anti
boycott advocates. written January
II, 1909. Mr. Wilson said:
am fierce partisan of the
open shop and everything that
makes for individual liberty. and
/ should like to contribute any
thing that it might be possible
for me to contribute to the
Qualification OF thinking and the
formation OF right purposes in
matters OF this kind.
| At a dinner in the Waldorf-As-
toria on March Is, 1907. MIR. Wilson
spoke as follows:
We speak too exclusively of
the capitalistlc class. There is
another rs formidable an enemy
to equality and freedom of op-
portunity as it Is, and that is the
class formed by the labor organ
izations and leaders of the
! country"
These are the opinions of Mr., vii.
son on the subject of labor and labor
organizations, just as he has record
ed them himself. No comment is
made, none is needed.
The Democratic campaign mana
/ gers have industriously sought to
create the impression among labor
ing men that Governor Hughes is I'M
/ friendly and antagonistic to labor and
I labor organizations. No man has
ever served as governor of an Ameri-
can state whose labor record can
stand in comparison to that OF Mr..
I Hughes. While governor of New
+ FORK, he frequently gave expression
to his natural sympathy with CON
structive work done by labor organ
cations. A notable instance was
when he spoke on August 90. 1908.
