Hes got the mule all covered up
with canvas tarpaulin on the back

The sheriff swore in two deputies
and went 10 the Cornbread road.
The officers saw approaching them

ROUGH STUFF

Some fifty years ago Boss Tweed,
chief Gf Now York Tammany intro
duced into American politics the tao
tics and methods Of the thug and high
way man. the hold up man and the
rough stuff 81 the criminal districts oil
his city. Not that there had been rot
ten politics before. or since his days.
Boss Tweed merely introduced the
rough stuff methods for accomplishing
HIS purposes II required fifteen or
twenty years 70 eliminate his methods.
Politicians may be just As unprincipled
now. they may care as little FOR tho
rights Of voters but they have learned
that methods which invite friendship
and public confidence are more pro
ductive ~ results aud the rough stun
has been cut out
About The time the politicians began
60 see the light and drop the rough
stun methods the managers Of our
blg corporations took up the same
metho6s Their motto was taken from
Boss Tweed The Public be damned"
The public. however refused 10 be
damned. but Instead Il created Nation
"A and State Commissions en-
powered 10 deal with such corpora-
lions as were inclined TO override the
rights II the public. This brought
about the enactment Of laws restrict
Ing and restraining the activities OF
the great corporations until they TOO
Uncovered that rough stun would not
90 with the American public. They
were bucked and gagged. and hog tied
and handicapped until even their
exisiance became burden 10 them
and they too reformed their methods
and begun TO recognize the right and
the power OF the public 10 a square
deal Some FIVE or ak years ago the
leaders OF the big labor Unions then |
adopted the rough stun methods that I
bad been discarded by the politicians
and the corporations and have ever
since been imposing their demands on !
the public far beyond the limits OF /
reason and Justice and right This |
has resulted IN reaction on the part |
of the public which expresses itself
In an Increasing demand for open shop
and the American plan OF labor which
the labor leaders have. up to the pres
ent time not been wise enough to see.
Labor leaders have failed 10 learn
the temper Of the American public from
the experience of the politicians and
the corporations and SO they are
p1iiiut4 USING lHt ihtthpdS OF tne thug
and the stick-up man in enforcing
their demands which the public must
pay. The rough stuff methods OF the
thug and the bully may win tenn
porary victory occasionally but in the
end 1t is bound to lose out in a con
test with the American public The
politicians and the corpora lions have
earned their lesson and the labor
eadars win oat fbairs ,,nlaez tbo,-
'hange their tactics and profit by the
experience Of those who have tried It
ut ahead Of them.

FLOWERS THAT GIVE LIGHT
Fact Not Generally Known is That
Many Common Plants Have
Distinct Luminosity.

Most people have seen the plant
coiloquially called the burning bush,
and have struck a match and applied
IL 10 the feathery flowers and leaves
Ia order 10 see the delicate flame run
over the surface Of the plant without
affecting or hurting it, But il Is not
so well known that there are a num-
Der II flowers which throw of lumi-
Mostly all their own. and among such
plants are the common marlgold. Ger
tain sorts VI lilies and the oriental
poppy. as well as that familiar and
popular fayOrite the nasturtium.
II is related thar on a warm sum
mer evening in the year 1862 the cley-
or daughter OF the famous Swedish
boianist. Linneus. noticed that some
nasturfiums In her fathers garden
were emitting tiny but distinct flashes
Of light; first one flower then another
would throw out an evanesceDt beam.
Though at first her assertion was re-
ceiyed with doubt. other investigators
soon proved II TO be true, and 1t is
now known that not only nasturtIums
but many other flowers exhibit this
luminosity. Camellias have been seen
TO glow with a mOonlike radiance.

Bonus Savings Gone
Workers Are Glad to
Get Back to Maui

Fifteen hundred dollars is a neat
sum of money on a Maui plantation,
but it doesn't mean much in San
Francisco, especially when ten people
are eating three meals a day and
there is no money coming in to re-
plenish the treasury, a y the Homo
lulu Advertiser. AT least this is the
philosophy of life of the Carvalho
family who arrived home from the
mainland on the Maui and left on an
Inter-Island boat for Maui and planta-
ton life il continues.
Last January the Carvalho family
after some years of work on a planta-
ton, dug up their hoard of money,
found they had $500, and came to
the conclusion that they were doing
pretty well. They thought they could
do better if they could only get TO
San Francisco. They went there.
There were two families of them, ten
people in all. The men were agricul-
tural workers pure and simple. Oak
land and San Francisco did not need
agricultural workers.
Ana so 1t was that they woke up
one morning with just enough cash
to buy breakfast. 1t looked like a
long wait for lunch. It was tnen that
they learned that plantation owners
were paying transportation back to
the Islands for former plantation en-
ployes who wanted to come back and
go to work. They engaged their pass
age back home" and arrived all safe
and sound under the protecting wing
of F. L. Rebamonte, who was in
charge of the party.
