WHEN CALEB POWERS.
HIT JUDGE WRIGHT

Caleb Powers, congressman from the
Eleventh district of Kentucky, who
was seven years in jail accused of kill
ing Governor Goebel, is now a fresh
man law student at the George WASH
ington law school in this city. Three
years ago Powers started the law
course, but was informed by the COL
lege authorities that his preparatory
education was insufficient.
He accordingly dropped out and has
been going to night school to cor
rect this deficiency. While formerly
a student, the law class was hearing q
lecture by Daniel Thew Wright, ex-
judge Of the district supreme court,
when the latter called to the atten-
ton of the class the fact that the
Goebel case had brought strongly the
legal responsibility Of persons who in
sttgate the commission Of crime.
He was interrupted by a tail form
raising in the audience and Caleb
Powers in a soft southern drawl re-
marked to Judge Wright: ''There is
a lot about that case, judge that you
don't know and advise you not to use
1t as an illustration to this class until
you know more about the facts. am

The Judge waived futher considera-
of the Goebe1 case.

WHY SOUTH OPPOSES
CHILD LABOR BILLS

According to the Home Circle,
published in Greenville, S., c., here
are the reasons why southern cotton
mill owners oppose the Heating Owen
child labor bill, which is intended to
exclude from Interstate commerce
child labor products:
"First-When children are exclude
ed from the mills, they have to go to
school, be educated and emil: tened"
SECOND - Ignorance is what
pleases the cotton mill authorizes.
"Education means light, know
ledge, power, emancipation and free
dom.
':Fourth-The cotton manufacture
ers have been made vastly rich by
working children at half wages, doing
grown folks work.
'Fifth-When this bill is passed.
they we'll know they will have to pay
the grown folks enough to support the
children anyhow. If they don't, the
farms are inviting them.
"Sixth--As long as they can keep
the workers in ignorance, they can
cheat and rob them and control them
when the textile workers are bet
ter educated, they can get better en-
ployment, therefore demand better
wages--a decent living.
1.-THE above are some facts and
reasons why this bill is opposed by
the money powers.
didn't the mil owners circulate
and beg their employees to sign peti-
lions, asking for this bill not to be
passed, because it would seriously
interfere with the factory business"

ST. PAUL UNIONS TO
HAVE LABOR TEMPLE

st. Paul is soon to have a union
labor temple erected according to
present-day requirements, conducted
with proper consideration for all the
claims OF good order and cleanliness
and equipped with. every facility for
the needs Of the labor movement in
this community.
This improvement will be fur
nished by the Carpenters union,
which Is the largest and most influ-
entail in st. Paul, and has in its
treasury a considerable part Of the
money necessary to carry the design
into execution. At its meeting Of last
Tuesday night the union received
from it's building committee estimates
OF the cost Of erecting such temple
on lots belonging to it at the junction
OF Summit avenue and Cedar street.
The estimates were scanned with
care and the committee was directed
to proceed with the work of procur-
ing plans and specifications and adj
ve-tising for bids for the erection of
the building.
A drawing of the proposed temple
has been made. This indicates that
it will be an imposing and attractive
structure, and the layout of the sew
eral floors shows that it will admir-
ably meet the wants Of the labor or
CARNATIONS which wish to hold their
meetings in 1t.
The union expects to have the new
building completed by September,
when the lease on Trade Union hall,
800 Wabasha street, will EXPIRE

STOP IMMIGRATION
FOR TERM OF YEARS

am in favor of the complete and
absolute prohibition of immigration
the next five years. do not believe
that any class should be exempt.
This would not necessarily inter-
fere with visitors under certain con-
ditions, but every foreign visitor
in this country should be under po-
lice inspection, should be registered
with the police Authorities and should
be compelled during his 1;ay to pre-
sent his papers whenever called upon
to do so. We have been treated this
in way in visiting European countries
and do not see why we should not
be equally careful with those who
visit U.S.
am not sure that the tide of i'm
migration to this country will be
greatly Increased after the war. I
think. however, that this is more than
likely. At any rate, am in favor of
the absolute prohibition into this
country for period of at least five
years. am ready to go further than
this. believe that the man who has
become an American citizen and has
taken the oath of allegiance to this
country, and who asserts that in case
of war between this country and that
from which he came he would fight
for his fatherland, should be deport-
ed, or at least he should forfeit his
citizenship and should be treated as
as an alien.-V.1S c. Vaughan in

FOR AMERICA FIRST.

In the of recent debate in the upper house
of congress-, Senator Capp made the astonishing
gument, to which Senator Gore subscribed that
is difference in principle between governments
withholding passports from Americans who wish to visit
beligerent countries for pleasure sightseeing
ing" and governments preventing American citizens
from travelling begerent-owned merchantmen carry
ing guns for defense.
This is in line with the reasoning that because the
government urged Americans to withdraw from strife
stricken Mexico it is inconsistent it to permit Amer
leans to travel the high where warsps are op
Grating.
It is all weak and silly reasoning. Mexco's soil is
Mexco's. Germanys soil is Germanys Great Britan's
soil is Great Britains But the belong to
all the world. They belong to America much as they
belong to Germany Great Britain. Without sur
rendering any essential rights stay Mex
ico out of Germany out of Great Britain because
sovereignty does to those countrest

sovereignty exists coequay with that the other pow

the without yielding sovereignty, We cannot
prevent citizens from travelling ocean, nor can
permit others to prevent them doing So with
out yielding sovereignty without surrendering their
plain and unquestionabe rights and without destroying
sefrespect and losing the respect of every other

Through the years the chief purpose in perfecting
International laws has been to protect and extend the
rights OF neutrals. 1t would be shameful thing for
America the chief neutral nation amid world arms
to yield her plain rights and to beray all neutral
tions Yet this is exactly what she would If she
lowed the leadership of Senators Clapp and Gore and
others like them.

PARCEL POST PROOF
AGAINST EXTORTION

Many will recall the ng fight to
obtain real parcel post system few
years ago. But those who opposed
the new system are not likely to give
any special publicity to the following
figures which are a bit damaging to
their cause:
In the last year before the parcel
post the express companies hauled
317,000,O00 packages at a cost of
$15s,000,o00. In 1915, 2s0,000.0oo ex-
press packages were hauled for $751;
100000 and 400,000,000 parcel post
packages for $56,000,000, making
680,000,000 packages carried for
$134,000,0o0.
The significant point in these figures
is that parcel post has largely made it's
own traffic, The express companies
are carrying almost as many parcels
as before, the decrease being only 3d.
100000. But the cost of hauling ex-
press packages has declined on the
average from 40 cents to % cents.
The express companies have lost
many millions Of dollars a year, but
it is generally conceded that their
former charges were excessive and
that henceforth the prosperity of ex-
pres companies will be legitimate, on
a sound basis, with the public receiv-
ing a proportionate benefit.
The outstanding fact is that in 1915,
$4,000, 900 packages were carried for
the public for $24,0o0,oo0 less than
that number Of packages in 1912.
Here is a genuine: cut in the cost Of
living, a very tangible betterment in
transportation and marketing condi-
lions, accomplished without fulfilling
any OF the do1orous prophecies of the
elimination of the small town mer-
chant by the alleged 'perils of the
parcel post.-Milwaukee journal.

FOLLOWS ENGLAND
IN SHIPBUILDING

The total output of mercantile ton.
mage from the shipyards of the
United Kingdom during the past year
may be put down, roughly, at slightly
over one-third of that of 1914, for
whereas in the last-named year, ac-
cording to the annual returns Of
Lloyd's Register, 656 merchant ves-
sells, representing 1,6S3,553 tons
gross, were consigned to the water,
the reports received show that the
total mercantile tonnage launched
during the last twelve months only
aggregates between 100000 and
100000 tons gross. The total Of the
worlds output of merchant vessels
during 1914 was 1919 Of 2,S52,753
tons gross, vessels, representing l.
10000 tons gross, having been built
abroad. It may be taken for granted
that the number of merchant vessels
launched in France, Germany, Japan,
and Russia during 1915 is consider
ably below that of 1914, while Bel
gian yards may be altogether left out
Of account. Taking this into consid-
Grafton, however, it would still seem
that at least 100000 tons gross of
merchant shipping has been added to
the worlds tonnage by shipyards
abroad, and that the total of the
worlds shipbuilding, SO far as the
output of merchant ships are con-
cerned, will aggregate 100000 tons
at least. To this total the United
States has contributed over a quar-
ter of a million tons, the country next
in Importance being Holland, with
something over 100000 tons. It is a
striking fact that the United King
dom, in spite of the enormous calls
made upon her shipyards by the Ad-
miralty. has still been able to turn
out more mercantile tonnage than
any other two countries combined.-

PREPAREDNESS

We are with you, Woodrow Wilson,
From Cape Cod to Golden Gate;
We are with you, strong and daring,
Though we chant no hymn of hate;
In our minds no thought Of conquest.
Ours to stand in prudence, ready,
Ours to strike hard, il we must.
Is 1t wise to hope for justice,
When the world is all alight
With the flames of hate and malice,
Just because we know we're right?
Shall we blind ourselves with logic
+ Founded on Utopian dreams?
Can we hope for love and mercy
Where the gush of battle streams?
We are living in the present,
And we face some burning facts;
And one is that quarrels are settled
Sometimes with the battle ak.
Somewhere in the distant future
Men may cease their strife, and
love-
But at present we must carry
Hand Of steel in sheathing glove.
Battle RACES wildly round us,
Might, inspiring fear and awe
In this holocaust Of passions
We must keep alive the law,
We alone stand cool, and sanely
Point unto q better day.
If we fail, die law and Justice!
Might and b1oodshed, hold thy
sway!
Europe. are we nercenary
When we feed your orphan hordes
Are we just a herd Of traders
Hawking with your warning lords?
You will find us quick and willing,
If you goad us to a fight,
You will find us strong and daring
TO defend what we call right.
Bank not strongly on the hyphen,
For we are nation yet,
And although we talk too freely,
There are things we won't forget.
We've a history that we cherish,
We have men who dare and Go.
We have rights that must not perish,
We can stand united, too.
We still love that glorious standard,
That to Washington was dear,
Meath whose ripp1es Webster thun-
dered.
That was draped on Lincoln's bier,
We are with you, woodrow Wilson,
From Cape Cod to Golden Gate,
| Jealous in our country's service,
Though we chant no hymn of hate.

HE WAS RAISED.

Here's a story we picked up which
illustrates pretty we'll our idea of the
ideal wage slave-that is, almost
ideal, for the really ideal one would
keep on being busy and would never
ask for a raise:
A year ago a manufacturer hired q
boy. For months there was nothing
noticeable about him except that he
never took his eyes off the machine
he was running. A few weeks ago the
manufacturer looked up from his
work to see the boy standing beside
his desk.
what do you want?" he asked.
want my pay raised
what are you getting"
''Three dollars a week.
'Well, how much do you think you
are WORTH"
-Four dollars"
"You think so, do you?'
Eyes, sir, and I've been thinkin' so
fer three weeks, but I've been so
blame busy haven't had time to
spetak to you about it."

A REACTIONARY CANDIDATE,

Henry D. Estabrook of Omaha and New York

address here Tuesday before sized audience of
Duluth citizens.
Mr.. Estabrook is typical standpat Republican of
the old school, If there any doubt about it be-
fore he arrived in Duluth there question
it when he concluded his address. He would move the
political clock back four and begin where Presi
dent Taft left off. He spoke for ship subsidy and
pronounced as silly the La Toilette Seamen's law, a
that takes it's place beside Magma the De-
caration of Independence the Emancipation Proclama
tion and the Clayton law in the struggle for human
freedom.

any way responsible for it share the culpabity of
it's author. 1t should not be spoken Of to
courage our merchant marine, but to abolish it and
turn shipping to Japan, for that will the
sum total of it's accomplishment
"The La Toilette act perhaps expected to force
employment of only American Sailors at better
and easier work. amid luxurious surroundings than
any other sailors in the world The fact that to do this
involved abrogang treaties with nearly every country
as well regulating the usages commerce of those
countries; the fact that American shipowner could
live up to the requirements of the act pay
Of operation mattered not at all to these Utopans.
mo American sailor will be employed because there
will be American ship to employ him. To repeal the
act will therefore njure one even the American
sailor"
1t Is the same old Republicans of the Estabrook
type merit in anything that springs
low. To their mind it is of value unless it
down like mama from above And this attack on the
seamen's law at time when ships are sailing
under the American flag, manned by American Sailors
than at time since the Civil Mr.. Estabrook
might have been able to convince of his hearers

THIS WEEKS THOUGHT.

What does labor want? 1t wants the earth and
the fulness thereof. There is nothing too precious,
there nothing beautiful, lofty, too enno-
ling, unless it is within the and comprehension
of labor's aspirations and wants.
We want school houses and less jails; more
books arsenals; learning and less vice;
constant work and less crime; leisure and
less greed justice and less revenge; in fact,
of the opportunities cultivate better
lures, make manhood more noble, womanhood
more beautiful, and childhood happy and bright.

gentlemen come up for reelection next fall and their

they will gain favor among American citizens of Ger

We believe that these gentlemen will find that
trucking and cowardice appeal no to Americans

other class We believe that the rank and file of Amer

the presidents position and tying his hands with

do we believe that the body citizens Ger
