The
SOLVES LABOR PROBLEM
Says Labor Asks License to Violate
Law, Though .Without Capital It
Would Starve Recalls the
Soup-Houses of 1896.
WASHINGTON. Sept. 12.-Speelfrt.)-D.
M. Parry, of Indianapolis, has taken a
cudgel to both William J. Bryan and
Senator Albert J. Beveridge for their
views on the labor question as expressed
In their debate In the Reader magazine.
He scores both for "evasion, fallacious
reasoning and truckling to the labor
vot." Mr. Parry says:
"The real labor question is whether
men in an organized capacity shall (1) be
permitted ft special license to violate the
law; and (2) whether they shall be grant
ed special favors by the Government at
the expense of the whole people. The
unions assume the power to deny, by
forcible means if necessary, the right of
a non-member to work where, when and
for what he pleases and the right of the
employer to hire whom he pleases and
to manage his own capital as he sees fit
under the law. Also the unions are par
ticularly clamorous for special favor from
the Government.
Labor's Abuse of Power.
"The labor question is thus one im
posed on the country by the efforts of
organized labor to use its power In an
illegitimate way and it is this attempted
abuse of power which occasions all in
dustrial troubles and constitutes the en
tire capital-labor controversy. Tae real
labor question has nothing to do with
the right of labor to organize for legiti
mate ends and, when confining their ef
forts within the sphere of the lawful, the
unions do. In important ways, serve the
best ends of society.
"Do Mr. Bryan and Mr. Beveridge ad
dress themselves to the labor question as
I have here stated? No, they would not
dare to do it. The union labor man is a
voter, a very hard voter to please and
still harder to keep pleased.
Labor Starve Without Capital.
"Mr. Bryan ' favors the amendment of
the law as to injunctions so as to except
labor unions, but still leaving the law to
apply to trusts and capital in general.
Such an amendment can possibly mean
but one thing, and that is the granting
of a special prlvllige to the unions to
commit crime. Mr. Beveridge. be it said,
makes some sound remarks as to the in
junction, but in the windup seems to
favor some sort of a compromise with
labor on the subject.
"Mr. Bryan and the labor leaders assert
strenuously that labor Is the all-important
thing in the universe and that
capital, being Inert and soulless, - is of
small consequence. Destroy the present
capital in this country and a large pro
portion of the people would certainly die
of starvation. The labor would still be
in existence when the capital was de
stroyed, but, work as hard as it might,
it would not be able to keep starvation
for the majority at bay. Poverty ensues
absence of labor.
Bryan Brought Soup-Houses.
"This truth was further illustrated
when Mr. Bryan brought out his 50-cent
dollar proposition, for, as will be remem
bered, a large part of capital at that
time quit working and went into hiding,
while labor continued very much in evi
dence. The result was that soup-houses
had to bo established to keep people from
starving.
"I will now conclude by stating the
really great question of the times, and it
is hardly necessary to say that it does
not agree with what Mr. Bryan and tha
labor leaders say is the great question.
The problem of all problems before this
country today is the protection of private
ownership in capital from thieves, swin
dlers and Socialists."
HINDUS DRIVEN ASHORE
(Continued from Page 1.)
nlshes the clearest evidence that the Jap
anese have official sympathy on their side.
"Moreover, the power of the Dominion
government over individual states is
greater than that of the Government at
Washington, and the Canadian police are
more efficient than those of San Francis
co, and there is every reason to believe
that the ful!est protection will be given to
our compatriots at Vancouver.
"While the present incident is limited
locally and is against the general senti
ment of the British public, and as such is
possible of speedy solution, yet it must be
remembered that it is pregnant of the
most difficult complications now facing
the authorities and statesmen of the na
tion concerned. The time will soon come
when a fundamental solution, completely
removing Oriental and Occidental fric
tion, will be on the tapis as a practical
question."
The Hoehl publishes the experience of
a blgh Japanese official who visited a
place near Vancouver, where Japanese are
engaged in Ashing. He went in company
with the Japanese Consul and men who
had Interests there, and states that the
Japanese laborers fairly insulted the
party, saying: "You have no business
here. Run away, or receive our fists."
The paper quotes this Japanese offi
cial as saying that the Japanese there
were the roughest and rudest he had
ever seen. They wero totally ignorant
of common politeness, and he did not
wonder they had become objects of
hatred. They are ready to insult their
Consul, when in good health, but when
taken sick they appear at the Con
sulate for assistance as if -claiming it
by right. The presence of such char
acters only arouBes the enmity of their
neighbors.
The name of the official making
these statements is not given, but there
is reason to believe he is a member of
the present Japanese Cabinet.
JAPANESE SPIES ARE ACTIVE
Said to Be Stirring Vp Trouble
Among Natives In Philippines.
SEATTLE. Wash.. Sept. 12. (SpecU.1.)
Members of the Taft party declared before
the Secretary of War sailed tonight for
the Orient that six Japanese spies, cap
tured with extensive data on American
fortifications and garrisons in the Phil
ippines have been captured and are held
in a military prison near Manila. Their
cases will not be disposed of until Secre
tary Taft reaches the Islands and has an
opportunity for a personal investigation.
Reports have also reached the War Sec
retary that parties of Japanese have been
Exclusion League Thinks It Better
Not to Have Parade.
SEATTLE, Wash., Sept. 12. (Special.) "
Seattle excluslonlsts wil abandon their
programme for a big street demonstra
tion here because of a fear that rioting
will be started and the Japanese and
Chinese quarters wrecked. The outbreak
at Vancouver is declared by the exclu
sionist leaders to have brought the Ori
ental question to the attention of both
governments, and it is insisted that riot
ing in Seattle would destroy any hope
of the American Government's treating
the protest from this Coast seriously.
The members of the Exclusion League
are bitter against the Japanese, and their
leaders are afraid to trust a parade. It
was admitted today that if a street dem
onstration was attempted the officers of
the association could not prevent an at
tack on the Orientals' quarters. As the
Orientals have purchased firearms and as
the police will try to prevent any trouble,
bloodshed would be certain to follow an
attack.
CANADA MAY SET EXAMPLE
Japanese Paper Trusts Dominion to
Solve Immigration Problem.
TOKIO, Sept. 12. The Nichl Nichi in Its
editorial leader this morning expresses
full confidence in the Canadian authori
ties' desire to extend whatever protection
is necessary to assure the treaty rights
of the Japanese. In its leader the Nichi
Nichl says:
"It is reassuring to know that the Cana
dian and English press are unanimously
condemning the Vancouver outbreak and
it Is hoped and trusted that full Justice
will be meted out. Should the Canadian
government in this instance find a solu
tion of the problem which would serve as
a model and example in dealing with the
same problem in the Pacific Coast states
of the United States, it would be a case
of fortune snatched out of miseries. Let
us hope that this expectation will be
realized and that permanent tranquillity
will be assured along the coasts of the
ocean bearing the name of peace."
A SOLDIER'S VIEWPOINT
Thinks That Canteens Do Not Cause
Army Desertions.
BATTLEGROUND, Wash., Sept. 6. (To
the- Editor.) Having served under General
W. A. Greely for several years, I know him
to be an excellent gentleman, a ripe scholar
and an able commander, but, like all other
Army officers, he views the subjects of the
canteen and Army desertions from an offi
cer's viewpoint.
When I was in the Slfrnal Corps the Army
had the canteen and desertions were Just as
frequent then as now), considering the per
sonnel and sixe- of the enlisted force. There
were then a greater percentage of foreign
ers In the Army, nd, as a rule, they are
leps liable to desert than are Americans.
The enlisted soldier of today Is generally an
A merican. He Is a man possessing the
liken, dislikes and love of sociability and
pleasures that belong to the average healthy
man. I have known soldiers again and
again to leave the canteen and garrison, and
go away to town and other places and over
stay his leave, and probably wake up In the
city Jail.
I look upon It as an insult to the enlisted
force of the United States Army to say that
a canteen would keep soldiers from desert
ing. The canteen, when In the Army, was
managed by Army officers, and here let me
remark that the canteen business Is a small
business for Army officers. Too often their
clubrooms were quite near the canteen and
the opinion usually prevailed that the of
ficers got the best cigars, wines and other
drinks from canteen funds. I have been an
eye-witness to a vast amount of drunken
ness In garrisons Inflicted with a "post can
teen." A rmy desertion has ever been and will
continue, as long as armies exist. There is
no complete, permanent preventive. De
sertions may, "however, be reduced by wise
legislation. When the recognised business
principles of other occupations find force and
effect In Army . life, then the question of
desertion will be to a great extent settled.
First: A soldier shold be a soldier, and
not a servant for the officers of the post.
A soldier's pay should not be less than $:W)
per month, and rations, quarters and uni
form, with avenues of promotion open to
him from the day of enlistment t the end
of his service.
These conditions would Induce young men
of good habits, with intellectual and phys
ical stamina,, to enlist. Last, but not least,
whenever an enlisted man does not show
the qualities of a soldier or whenever he
becomes frequently addicted to the liquor
habit or Indifferent to his duties, discharge
him and let him go. His discharge should
be given him at any time just the fame as
in other lines of labor, whenever he wanted
It.
A great deal In Army life going by the
name of "discipline" is nothing but humil
iation, which Americans will not endure.
Their period of service in the Army is realty
a period of servitude.
At the present time the United States
Army is only a fit place for negroes and
the "lowest class nf foreigners, and totally
unfit for an American who can make his
way In the world. It takes an exceptionally
strong man in mind and will power to serve
for a period of years !n the Army and come
out a self-respecting and respectable citizen.
The discipline and social environments tend
to take away a man's self-respect and in
dependence. Our Army should be a training school;
period of enlistment two years, and no re-enlistments.
Only the best types of Americans
should be enlisted and enlistments should be
under civil service rules and regulations.
The canteen has no place at a military
post or garrison, no more than on the
campus of a college or university. The can
teen is" evil and only evil. It Is true that
the drunkenness is largely concealed and the
public is saved the spectacle of ft run ken
soldiers, but the drinking Is there just the
same. On paydays at military posts it was
a common sight to see soldiers when paid
off, pass to the canteen officer and hand
over the principal part of their pay for
credit-drinks at the canteen. It Is to be
hoped that the canteen will never again
show Its ugly head In the American Army.

Until then he had maintained an air

since the beginning of the trial his jaws
stopped- for a moment- and he stared long

Pallor overspread his face, then it was
gone in an instant and the Jaws began
to move once more. The prosecution said
it will convict Dell on circumstantial
evidence and will Bhow that the Roper

NOT THE GREAT BLAVATSKY
Only Reveals Identity of Dead Men's
' Reincarnations Gladstone Was

phlst Factions In Qnarrel.
- CHICAGO, Sept. 13. (Special.) Politi
cal lines were drawn today in tire strug
gle for the control of the American sec
tion of the Theosophlcal Society, which
opponents of Mrs. Annie Besant, world
president of the organization, are trying
to wrest from her power.
Alexander Fullerton, genera secretary
of the organization, and Frank F. no
the, his assistant, on their arrival from
New York immediately called confer
ences, at which they rallied their friends
to resist the attempt of Mrs. Besant' fol
lowers to elect Dr. Weller Van Hook, of
Chicago, to the office of general secre
tary. (
Has Not Blavatsky's Soul.
At the home of Dr. Van Hook Mrs.
Besant reiterated her denial that she was
the reincarnation of Madame Blavatsky,
her predecessor as head of the society,
declaring she and Madame Blavatsky
were alive at the same time, and thus
the, process of reincarnation could not
have taken place.
"If you are not the reincarnation of
Madame Blavatsky, of whom are you the
reincarnation?" Mrs. Besant was asked.
The leader smiled broadly and sweetly.
"Now, do you think that is a matter
for the public?" she asked in reply. "Of
course I know who I was before this life,
but that is a private matter, and con
cerns no one but me and my dear
friends." That's the way most of the
Theosophists feel about it, said Mrs. Be
sant, and so the former identities of the
Theosophlcal politicians must remain
hidden within their bosoms.
Mrs. Besant did not think the public
would be interested in information about
individual reincarnations, so she was not
very disposed to reveal any specific in
stances of reincarnations other than her
own.
Gladstone Had Cicero's Soul.
"I do not like to discuss individuali
ties," she said. "For instance, I have
been reported as saying Mr. Rockefeller
would be an angel in his reincarnation.
I never made such a statement. I am
not so vulgar. So, if I should tell you the
name of a living person who is the re
incarnation , of someone dead, embarass
ment would be sure to follow."
Urged to. tell something about two per
sons who were dead, Mrs. Besant said:
"Well, Gladstone' was the reincarnation
of Cicero, I know he was, but I cannot
prove It unless you are willing to be
lieve, and you cannot successfully ais
pute my claim. So there is the hopeless
ness of discussing that subject."

Venerable Viceroy Arrives at Chi

PEKIN, Sept. 12. Chang Chi Tung,
the venerable Viceroy of Shanghai,
who has just been appointed a Grand
Councilor and Is referred to as the
leading Confuclanist and the chief
demagogue in the Empire, and whose
memorial on the significance of the
late Russo-Japanese and Franco-Japanese
agreements precipitated him into
the present undefined position, arrived
in Pekln today.
The conspicuous distinction of his
recent years is the fact that he killed,
by one of the most stupid memorials
since the "Boxer" uprising, one of the
most important reform measures ever
devised in China, namely, the military
scheme of Professor Jenka, of Cornell,
which it Is claimed cost the American
Government $50,000. Outranking Yuan
Chi Kai, who also was appointed a
Grand Councilor, and .to be a mem

J er-Pianos Become Insignificant J
When Compared to the Marvelous I
j Renditions Within the Ability of j
The Metrostyle-Themodist
TP IT A
l STANDARD OF THE WORLD
The Pianola embodies not one, but many, points of superiority over
the numerous instruments that its success has inspired.
In the incomparable! human-like qualities of its playing, in the
wide scope it affords for individual expression, the Pianola stands
today, as Rosenthal has so well pnt it, "in a class by itself."
The Pianola's Supremacy Unassailable
The supremacy of the Pianola is abundantly borne out in the unani
mous testimony of the world's foremost musical authorities, who have
indorsed this instrument to the practical entire exclusion of any other,
and also in the actual verdict of the purchasing public for the
SALES OF THE PIANOLA EXCEED THOSE OF ALL OTHER
PIANO-PLAYERS PUT TOGETHER.
Now, there must be good reasons why the Pianola has been able to
maintain its position as the premier instrument of its type in fact,
to steadily increase its lead, notwithstanding the many other instru
ments continually being brought out, and claiming to accomplish sim
ilar results.
The Metrostyle Found Only on the Pianola
One of the greatest achievements of the player system was the in
vention of the Metrostyle, a device enabling even the unskilled per
former to play with artistic effect to put EXPRESSION and SOUL
into the playing. This invention was revolutionary, and broke down
the last vestige of prejudice in the musical world. Be it noted, how
ever, that no other piano player HAS HAD or CAN HAVE anything
EVEN APPROXIMATING this remarkable device, which is owned
, and controlled exclusively by the Aeolian Co., makers of the Pianola.
The Themodist and What It Accomplishes
The Themodist will accent a single note, or group of notes, ex
actly as called for by the character of the composition. It will accent
the proper notes, not only when isolated from the accompaniment, but
also wherever they may appear, anywhere along the keyboard, picking
out the theme, NO MATTER WHETHER IT APPEARS IN CHORDS
OR IN THE MIDST OF ELABORATE ORNAMENTATION.
To the performer, however, is left the degree of accent to be sup
plied, whether a sharp contrast or a mild one, as his taste dictates.
For this purpose he still has recourse to the accent-lever and the
, pedaling, as in former models of the Pianola.
In addition to the Metrostyle and Themodist, the Pianola incor
porates more than three hundred other patented and exclusive fea
tures, making it at once superior in every detail. After hearing
other players or player-pianos, the performance of the Pianola will
prove a revelation to you. We shall be pleased to demonstrate its
marvelous ability at "any time, at your convenience.
