About the swinoknife.

A swingknfe is a wooden sword, 1S
to "a inches long and s to 10 inches
broad. used to scrape the woody por-
ton from flax, a handful Of which
hangs, over a groove in the, standing
board known as the swingstock.
Swingknives are still used IN the man,
ufacture of flax in parts of the Old
Werld, but modern machinery has
pretty generally displaced them.

In this issue of the Review will be
found the statement of the condition of
the First National bank of Denison, as
required by law. 1t will be noted that
the total footing of this institution runs
well above the million seven hundred
thousand mark and shows the bank to
be in excellent condition. Denison has
every reason to be proud of its banking
institutions and nowhere In the state
can be found more stable banks than
we have right here.

Of the economic fallacies Of English
trade unionism.
1.-THE greatest fallacy is the belief Of
labor that the less they work the more
work remalns to be,done the greater the
demand for labor, the greater wages
and greater prosperity for labor--the
fallacy that an artificial scarcity Is
beneficial to labor. These fallacies
have turned our one time laud OF milk
and honey into a land OF appalling
scarcity. Still more appalling scarcity
OF -four is surely coming. l myself re-
member when l could buy the best roast
beef dinner and oil the accompanying
dishes and dessert in Philadelphia for
twenty five cents. IL labor organiza-
tions could increase their wages to $1,000
n day. they would find themselves as
they are in Vienna--payiug tea and n
hundred times as much for everything,
and starving. Nothing but increase Of
work and an increased stock Of goods to
divide can avert oncoming panic and
revolution.
"NIust Cure Mslady"
America is word that means in
its very origin 'conquering work. We
must cure the malady in labor's soul,
teach him that labor Is the diyinest
thing, start the teaching in the schools,
cure the country Of the follies of eX-
travagance and pleasure, which 1t can.
not long survive; restore the majesty OF
law, follow the example of the teach
ings of Washington and Franklin. II
will not do to let any optimism blind US

under President Mckinley. He spoke
at the closing session OF the National
Association OF Hosiery and Underwear
Manufacturers convention In the
Manufacturers Club last night.
Organized labor" he declared, ''has
already accomplished the overthrow and
defiance of the government, and made
q war of principles of starvation, which
even Germany dared not profess or
adopt. No public official ever did a
braver thing than Attorney General
A. Mitchell Palmer In applying for an
injunction against the striking miners
OF the Northwest. but the federal gov
ernments injunction, granted against
the labor leaders, was impotent against
