commends those who do and gives
them life eternal. If we, by united
effort can increase our wage suf-

Jesus commandment, we are do

EXPERIMENT ON DEATH

THERE is something pretty creepy about
u this California experiment with dog
who was put to death and then restored to
life. The dogs physical condition seems to
improve daily, but his intelligence is still
sluggish
Death did something to his brain cells,
and it remains to be seen whether the re-
vived body can rebuild them
And al this. in an eerie and rather ghostly
way. brings US right up against the Oldest and
GREATEST problem of the race What happens
when a living organism dies?
Is the change strictly something that can
be weighed In the laboratory scales and tested
beneath the microscope? Or is there some
unknown factor there-Some insoluble mys-
terry that forever eludes analysis?
II is a long time since any scientist has
attempted so interesting an experiment.

MONKEY BUSINESS"
SHOWS A PROFIT

BY Harry Wilfong.
This monkey story explains the
cause of the depression:
There was a group of monkeys
which lived on an island. The
monkeys ate cocoanuts, The
monkeys we're very fond of sea
shells which we're very scarce. Upon
finding a sea shell a monkey would
let it glitter in the sun and the
rest of the monkeys were envious.
One day the king monkey was
digging in sand near the sea coast
and he uncovered a great bed of
shells, and Immediately covered
them again. He said to himself, Il
have found the app to the other
monkeys eyes"
King monkey opened a cocoanut
market. He told the other monkeys
that for each and every cocoanut he
would give them one shell. All of
the monkeys started to the woods in
the morning and worked late to
bring in cocoanutS to trade for
shells. Finally, they gathered all of
the coaconutS they could find. Soon
they became hungry and went to
the market.
The told the king monkey they
wanted to buy cocoanuts and they
started to give the king one shell
for one cocoanut but, he said, ""No,
you will have to give me two shells
for each cocoanut. The worker
monkeys said, This is unfair; there
is no justice in it.
The king monkey said, II am en-
titled to profits To keep from
starving, they had to give him two
shells. Finally, the king monkey
had so per cent of the cocoanuts
left and all of the shells.
The monkeys wondered what to
do.
The king monkey told them if
they would give him a mortgage on
their next years crop, they could eat
up the other so per cent. The fol-
lowing year they produced 33 1-3 per
cent but owed so per cent They
paid the king the 33 1-3 per cent
and asked the king to extend their
credit for the next crop. The king
said, Il will not, you monkeys have
lost your credit.

WHY DOES GOODMAN
CLING TO E. M. B. A.

By s. A. NJ.
After reading E. B. S. and R. S.
letters in The Times, I would like
for them to answer this question:
Why is j. A. Goodman so anxious
to keep the E. M. B. A. in force at
this plant? Every one knows it is
not for the good Of his employees.
live between two of his employees.
knitter and a girl worker. The
knitter draws SIS week, for
knitting twenty-eight dozen pairs of
stockings.
1 don't think any one who has
seen knitting machine would say
that every one could run one.
The knitters have not been salts
fed with the E. NJ. B. A. and j. A..
Goodman knows it. This girl says
the workers were told to vote for
the E. M. B. A. or they would have
no job. Mr. Goodman never ap-
preached the knitters. He knew
they we're men and boys of in
telligence and not girls of 19 and 10,
who were not able to figure out the
matter for themselves.
The vote was not fair. Why should
the knitters vote be counted with
the janitors' vote? Why were not
the National and Fulton plant knit
tiers votes recognized? These mills
are owned by Real Silk.
Mr.. Goodman has the idea he is
ruler and the workers are his
slaves. I have known this knitter
to get his check with a cut and he
would have to take it. This knitter
has been with Real Silk five years
and last fall when he joined the
union his insurance was taken away
from him.
I think our Governor and mayor
should be asked how they stand.
When the strikers had a meeting
one was out Of the city and the
other had more important en-
gagement.
The Times is to be congratulated
on its fair publicity on the Real Silk
strike.

DEFINES DEMOCRACY
IN INDUSTRY
By an Observer.

by an observer.
DR.. Wirts attack on the new deal
policies of getting business on a
decent basis, is straw in the wind,
that reveals who is who in this
benevolent despotiSrn of capitalism.
A pseudo democracy that sput-
tiers about liberty of it's sovereign
citizens while the voices of the
creators of wealth, in mine, factory
and on farms live on the fringeS
of abject poverty, do not even echo
in the control of industry, is more
mockery than democracy.
The divine right of our princes
of industry to control the division
of the products of labor to permit
a luxurious living for a few, and a
poverty standard for the real pro-
ducers, is a hangover of the era of
monarchS and castles.
Shall economic power rest with
the makers of wealth, or shall the
takers and takers wave the flag of
liberty while they destroy the lib
erty of labor to enjoy a just dis
tribution of its products?
A democracy is a government for
all the people. by all the people. 1t
is a commonwealth-no a despot-
ism, autocracy, plutocracy, or bu-
.reaucracy. 1t means more than the
right to vote for select men of spe-
cial privilege.
Real democracy can not exist
without having all the workers in
industry represented in the control
of the policies of business. With
out the labor of the sovereign work.
ers, no production is possible. Labor
fc Is capital. Labor creates capt.
tai; our capitalists would starve If
they depended on the products
created by capital.
NRA codes of fair business prac-
tees are framed by the takers, with
out the voice of the makers, as to
fair wages. Democracy in industry
creates incentive for the workers to
produce better goods, more goods
for use and reasonable pay for
management.

WEDNESDAY. MAY 2. 1894.
BROKEN PLEDGES

lust thirty-sx years after that May day
y on which Deweys fleet at Manila liberated
the Filipinos from Spanish rule, the Philip
pine legislature has accepted the new indie
pendence law. Within a year they are ex
pected to set up a commonwealth govern
ment leading in 1915 to complete independ-
ence if they desire.
Two shadows fall across yesterdays ratif1ca-
ton and the future of the islands The
Filipinos are to blame for neither.
One is the tense situation in the far east.
Relations in the Pacific are such that the
future can not be forecast. That, doubtless,
explains in part the failure of the Tydings
independence law to provide for American
naval withdrawal from the Philippines it
did provide for future American military
evacuation.
However much the Washington govern
ment and Americans generally may wish to
relinquish responsibilities in the far Pacific,
it is highly improbable that the Filipinos will
agree to give up our naval protection until
their independence and neutrality are guar
anteed by an international treaty which they
can trust. Such treaty, unfortunately, is not
now in sight. Even the nine-power treaty
for the international protection of China is
today in jeopardy
For the second shadow we are to blame.
The Tydings law carries unequal trade pro-
visions which, if enforced, will cause great
economic damage to the islands These pro-
visions were extracted by a selfish congress
sional lobby as the price of independence. But
these shameful provisions were accepted tenn
porarily by the more honorable group in con-
gress and by the Filipino representatives them
selves only on the specific pledge by Presi-
dent Roosevelt that the Objectionable features
would be eliminated later by fair negotiations.
Even before these promised fair negotia-
tons, we have broken faith with the Philip
pines by writing a trade barrier against them
into our tax bill. That is the tax-tarif on
cocoanut OIL which not only will tend to
pauperize 1000 900 Filipinos but also in turn
help to destroy one of our own best foreign
markets.
Since the administration has lost its able
fight on the floors of congress to keep this pro-
vision out Of the tax bill We believe the Presi-
dent should use his only remaining weapon
veto the bill unless the offending provision
is eliminated by joint resolution.

BAN GUNS; END CRIME,
ROOSEVELT ADVISED
By Charles FaIy

BY Charles Ealy.
Addressed to President Roosevelt:
You will find some clippings in
closed regarding our crime wave in
Indiana, with 5000 officers covering
part Of five states after one man
with all the power invested in them
by the federal government. The
lives Of good citizens and thousands
upon thousands of dollars are being
sacrificed, purely because this one
man has a gun or guns.
My purpose IN writing this is to
urge that you, our beloved President
use your power tc bring to the
American people 2 gunleSs nation.
If any man can DO this believe you
can. Guns were made for no other
purpose than to kill something or
somebody.
Why not stop the making Of guns
and ammunition and stop the sale
of guns and ammunition; take them
off the market. give six months time
for every person in the United States
to turn over guns to the federal
government. Fix penalty of a fine
OF $4,000 or ten years in prison.
Give the merchant the same if
caught selling them.
Why should any man be allowed
to carry gun; he can have but one
purpose, that is to kill some person.
With no guns, there would be no
bank robberies; no filling station
holdups; little if any kidnapping;
no train robberies; no pay roll hold
ups. Thousands Of persons are in
prison who ought not to be there
purely because they could get guns
and use them. Families by the
thousands are wrecked, widows and
orphans are hungry. Millions and
millions are going out into illegi-
innate channels. Billions in COM
mercial values are being wasted.
The different states can handle
their own game hunting program.

Capital Capers
-BY GEORGE ABELL,

OHIO notables gathered at tea given in
~ Washington the other day by jolly Repre-
sentative Charley West in compliment to Sen
ator Bob Buckley and his bride, the Toronto
millionairess, who used to be Mrs. Helen Graham
Robbins.
The entire Ohio delegation-ap appropriately
dressed in morning coats and juggling tea cups
surrounded the attractive Mrs Buckley.
Representative Bill Fiesinger the Sandusky
leader of the big silver bloc in congress, soemnly
stirred his cup of tea with silver spoon. His
handsome brunei daughter Lois accompanied
him.
"Ah, Judge" enthused an acquaintance, smil-
ing a gold pated smile, It hope you hold no
prejudice against gold tooth filings"
Fashionable Mrs. Chesty Bolton, wife of the
congressman from Lyndhurst, o., poured tea
and coffee and smiled sweetly on every one.
Senator Buckley was the only one who failed
to wear a morning coat. He affected a double
breasted blue serge suit and looked the typical
bridegroom.

the United States and national committeeman

MINED SPEED JUSTICE!

nounces that "a vigorous campaign to
simplify and speed action by the country's
courts" is being begun by leaders of the bar;
and it is hard to think of any reform that
would be much more welcome.
Slowness and inefficiency of legal processes
is the chief complaint. 1t also is charged that
lawyers delay cases instead of pressing for
quick decision, and that appeals are made
unnecessarily expensive by the requirement
that the entire record be printed.
The New York bar not long ago named
commission to study the states judicial system.
One member of the commission, Harry D.
Minis wrote an article for the state bar asso-
cations journal and said several things that
laymen have long been saying privately
"On the calendars of the New York SUI
preme court today there are about $4,000
cases awaiting trial." he wrote. Something
like 10000 litigants are interested in these
cases. They are represented by lawyers
These cases represent work to be done.
Are we so prosperous that we desire no in
crease in business? Apparently for the pro-.
fession is exerting little pressure upon the
judges and the legislature to adopt measures
which can be used to make it possible to bring
these cases to trial and dispose of them.
The attitude of the profession is some
what like that of the old storekeeper who re-
fused to sell sugar because too many people
came in to buy it,.
Litigation is necessary and may be made
beneficial under proper conditions The de-
crease of it does not necessarily mean that
there is more justice between man and man.
1t may mean compromise, fear imitation of
the nuisance value of unfounded and illegal
claims"
All this is a mild and fair statement of
the case The delays and expense incident to
legal processes have become, in many cases,
quite uncomfortable. In some states ways have
been found whereby minor law suits can be
disposed of without recourse to lawyers at all.
Unless this tendency is to grow to a point
where lawyers as a class find lot of bust
ness taken away from them, action to make
litigation cheaper and faster is essential.
