When you think Of man you seldom
think
OF the knowledge he has Of books,
You seldom think Of the clothes he
wears,
His habits, or faults, or looks.
You SC dom think Of the car he drives,
Nor bonds his gold has bought;
When you think Of q man, you mostly
think
OF some kindness he has wrought.
You Judge him not by his blocks Of
stocks,
Nor his power Of name or pen;
You judge man by the place he's
made
In the hearts Of his fellow men,
You Judge him more by the fight he's
made,
By the way he has faced the strife.

REACTION BEATEN,
ASSERTS COMPERS
predatory Wealth's Fight on
Labor Has Failed" Says
Labor Leader.

Samuel Gompers. president Of the
American Federation of Labor. sees
in the last year = period of CON
centrated struggle" for labor.
Two things were clear in the
minds Of employers" the veteran Ia
Dor leader said, in an annual state
ment to the federation. ito reduce
wages and to destroy the unions,
the voluntary organizations of the
workers. In order that wages might
be permanently held down and in
order that working conditions might
be determined likewise in arbitrary
manner. to the detriment of the
workers.
judicial power has been thrown
on the side of predatory wealth.
Destruction of law by usurped pow
er has continued apace. Injunctions
have grown and multiplied.
THE conclusion, at the end of
the year, is that reaction has tried
with all diligence, and has failed
to shake the progressive. enlight-
ened. constructive purpose of the
great masses OF our people.
Freedoms cause is safe because
1t is in the keeping of so many"

for the privilege of shaking the
hand of Gene Debs.
They have showered him with con-
gratufations upon his release and
with wishes for a Merry Christmas
And when the stop was made for
lunch, Debs, although practically
destitute, with only a few pennies
of his own in his pockets-the
Pullman money and the, five-dollar
bill that he doesn't count as his
own any more-insisted that every
newspaper correspondent on the as
signment and everyone of the per-
sonal friends in his party accom-
pany him to lunch as his guest. 1T
Is a long time since / was In a po-
sition to have guests" he said. "I
will borrow the money"
So far Debs has kept absolutely
mum on the details of his mission to
Washington. Apparently he does not
know why Attorney General Daugh-
erty asked him to go to Washington.
Refuses to Discuss Case.
Until I arrive there" he said, 1T
cannot discuss my case"
Neither would he for the time be-
ing discuss his plans for the future.
1t Is his hope to reach Terre Haute
and Kate by Tuesday.
Samuel NJ. Castleton. of Atlanta,
the attorney who has represented
Debs In many important matters, ac-
companied him as far as Greenville,
then dropped of to return home. They
had conferred for several hours on
the train. In the Greenville station
they bade ore another an affection

liberty for other. political offenders
as has been accorded himself. At
all times during the years of his
imprisonment when friends tried 70
obtain pardon for him, he con-
tended that he would not accept any
favors for himself that could NOT be
extended to his imprisoned COL
leagues.
He will probably pay his onicial
call and leave Washington the same
day. just as unostentatiously as he
did last March when he came to
Washington on parole at the re-
quest of Attorney General Daurh-
erty.

Costs Of Production Rise.
w. s. Corby. of the Corby Baking
Company said yesterday that his
firm. along with other bakers in
Washington, did not properly reckon
on the costs of production when
they lowered the prices from one
and half to three cents a month
ago and also at that time the cost
of flour was taking a downward
trend,
The Corby Company has been
selling bread at below actual cost
as after we reduced our prices the
cost Of flour rose and with that
fact and other office and general
expenses We found IL impossible to
produce bread at such a low fig
ure." he said.
The bread where reduced from
eight to six cents, we found neces-
sary to raise to seven cents to save
our business. and we would be hon
estly testified in charging more. bu,
IL is our policy to make only a
small margin of print on the loaf,
Mr.. Corby declared.
IF in the next month or two. the
price of -four declines we will be
glad again to reduce the cost OF
bread" he AIDED
The Corby Baking Companys new
wholesale prices, to take effect TO.
morrow, will be seven cents a pound

These prices will take effect to.
