| SlOnal agitator is nuisance, ana
his suppression should be accom-
plished. Men who earn their money
| by the sweat of their brow should
not DE compelled to donate a fat
living to those who do nothing but
SOW discord in the ranks of the
toiler. The laboring class has a
right to organize for mutual pro-
lection and the man who has his
all invested in a business should
have the privilege of attending to
his own business and running it to
suit himself, providing he does not
interfere with the laws of the land.

doubt that this beast fiourished Sum
day while the legitimate vendors OF
liquid refreshments kept their places
closed.
