On this complaint a warrant of arrest was issuea ana placed in the bands of the police for service. The circumstances of the case were, as. slated in the complaint, that Mr. Harden had made an unprovoked and unjustifiable assault on the person of a very old and feeble lady named Brown, who resides with her son at 46 East Forty-ninth street As the result of the aaaault Mrs. Brown was confined to her bed for several days. The complaint was sworn to by Harlan K. Brown, tho old lady's grandson. Stake Mo Xffort to Prosecute. ' On account of the aggravated nature of the offense the police made a special effort to locate and arrest Mrs. Bar den, but It was not until about a week ago that 'she was found and taken into custody. At no time, from the moment of Mrs. Barden's arrest until the charge against her was dismissed In the police court yesterday on motion of a repre sentative of the district attorney, was any effort made by Mr. Manning or Ms representatives to secure the at tendance In court of the . prosecuting witness, although his residence and street number appear on the face of the-complaint and his telephone number appears In the telephone directory. When the case of Mrs. Barden was called in the police court on the morn ing following her arrest she was rep resented by Attorney Hayes, of the law firm of Hayes A Brand. The members of thhj firm occupy & suite of offices with District Attorney Manning in the Kenton building. Attorney Hayea asked that the hear-In- be Dostooned for several days. The request was granted. Later Attorney I Another "area test nlanlst In the world Is In Portland and' will play at I the Hellta - this evening under the Steers-Coman management.

CHUBCII MEMBERS TO FORM FEDERATION The movement to federate all the boys of the Presbyterian Sunday schools of the city was discussed at the ministers' meeting of the Presbyterian church yes terday. This federation Is growing rapidly and Is enthusiastically support ed by the boys. Football, tennis, basket ball and baseball leagues are forming and the baseball team of the boys' fed eration has challenged th men's feder ation to a game of baaeball on Decora tion day. The club of the different churches are making arrangement for ground suitable for athletics In th different neighborhoods. The movement orig inated In the Third Presbyterian church, where the Presbyterian Boys' Brother hood was organised under the direction of E. C. Herlow. If. Is a rule of the federation that no boy ahall be admitted to the club who Is not a member of a Presbyterian Sunday school. Arrange ments have been made at the Rlngler gymnasium and swimming pool for the Boys' clubs. Athletic meets and Inter denominational games are to be ar ranged and a literary feature or de bating team Is also spoken of.

A Tou don't believe the Labor-Socialist "class" are really trying to take away the auvings and property of the tnriity, Home-uwnlng class, do youT Probably there will be a loud chorus of walls and entreaty when th new laws go into effectand the "Home Owners" wake up to find themselves bound hand and foot and "trimmed" of their savings and property by the dert hand or tne Labor-sociaiist ' class aai aooording to law passed whlls th Home-Owners slept, and which th courts most execute. '.'Impossible'' you say. but the game Is on and the Labor-Socialists ar right now actively at work before congress and the 'various state legislature, and win estaDttsn tnese laws quicwy uniesa topped. TheJr plan la based on one principle. If any .man baa worked and been economical and self-denying and has bought a home, take- it away and divide up-the proceed among those who are unthrifty, drinking, profligate or simply "failures." Take money away from the man who ha It- Give" It to the man who hasn't But thla must be done cunningly and . by passing some shrewdly drawn laws which hide the real meaning. The Labor-Socialist are working hard to frighten and force public men to pass at least a dozen bills, each of which haa, away down at the bottom, a plan to take away a part or all of the thrifty man' saving and give them to the unthrifty. They, will surely Succeed unless the '.'home owners" wake up and protest - In numbers enough to win. 'X. "Don't believe a word of it," the average reader says. ' Naturally, because the average reader seldom examines bills offered to con gress and the legislatures and if he casually reads of these bills they look harmless enough. Some will only wake up when, under the- new laws, (If the Labor-Socialists succeed In having the bills passed) they find their property and. savings oose away and the courts powerless to prevent. This is a contest between th un thrifty "class" trying to wrest money. property and power from tho Homo- nntntn. "r-1 -l HO ' Now let the reader sort out the dlf ferent characters in society and aa they are defined, locate each man in one or the other of these "classes." On class earns and saves and the other seeks to take what It doesn't earn. The discontented, surly and botch workman tramping from one Job to ' another. , The Labor Agitator. The man who poured acid in the mouth of an independent workingman in Chicago after he had been beaten unconscious. The steady, well-trained mechanic who owns a home. The tramp. The professional criminal whose pic ture the police keep in the rogues' gal lery. When you see him reading a newspaper in a saloon, you can not only name the newopaper that nourishes his criminal instincts but can accurately locate him In - his class and probably make a close guess at what ticket he votes. -i The Successful Merchant The Well-Trained Physician. The Wlld-eyed-dlrty-flnger-nall chap over his second pot of beer. Tho Labor-86eialit. - The Farmer. - The Minister of the Gospel. The Anarchist. afou see, you can pick them out and put each one in his class. There are only two "classes." One. think thoughts of hate, jealousy and revenge, seeking .mimpv it does not earn, property which W haa heen' earned by the sweat of other brows, and in disappointment and. anger, ' these social "failure" naturally tend towards Cisoruer, law-oreaxing ana a 1 general upheaval In which they hope to take away the savings of the other class. The -member of the "Other Class" - think thoughts of work, sturdy, well directed, intelligent work: work which bring good pay, because it is good aer ' vice to mankind.' The sober, responsible '1 Locomotive Engineer. The Skilled Me " rhanic, the Farmer, Merchant, Doctor, Lawyer,' Banker, School .

The Labor-Socialists are opposed and their measures a re right now being pressea wiia great strengra to maice them into laws. Th Intent underlying each one of them Is to directly, or In a round-about way, take money and property from th "Home-Owaers." Now let's have a look and in consid ering each bill or act, keep in mind the underlying plan. "Extract from th thrifty and home-owning- people, at least a part of their savings, to oe divided among the un thrifty Labor-Socialists." You may have to search step by step through the apparently harmless part of these proposed laws, but carefully follow the steps and it will be seen that the final end and aim is to take money away from the House-Owning, thrifty V1 a am" mwA 4 . I ,A V. .,I,.I . ...... gl.1I t ,U Uliklllllljr 'class.' Let' first consider the "Emnlnvera Liability" movement. They have adroit ly sought to have It apply first to Rail, way for It Is now popular to attack them. Any employe hurt, even by his own negligence. Is to be paid a sum to be extracted from the stockholders. There are over 77.000 stockholders in one American Railway. Manv are wid ows and In some cases their hard earned money - and savings invested thus. Is the main source of their bread and but ter. Rut a'flrt at iHit la tn Ha Inlr.n from them to be given to the unfortun ate "Unthrifty." That would be benevolence if It wae not a legal robberv of some to make gifts to others. Then it is the plan to extend this forced benevolence to the individual em ployer. Just as the Labor-Soclnlista have succeeded in doing in England. It is an. active working law there now In opera tion unaer wnicn, ir, ror instance, a house servant has an accident no mat ter whether about the house or else where and becomes disabled, the em ployer's property is - held to pay on pound- (about IS) a week for the bal ance of the life of the servant. Thus In a few years with a bad run of "luck" the homeowner might have saddjed on him a half dozen such pen sioners and his property ' held to pay perhaps $25 to 160 a week. Do you see how adroitly this extracts money from the thrifty? We will all admit that the Injure! should have help; that is human benev olence. Every permanently Injured poor man should have a public home to live in free, all the balance' of his days; he has, we will say, done his share of the work of the world and Is entitled to its care. The law should provide that he had, during his well days, contributed his snare, imaii or great, toward tho sup port of such homes. That is the Ger man law. In other words, every man. Labor-Socialist and home-owner should contribute for this pension. But the Labor-Socialist Diana to take only the money of on class, th thrifty, and give it to the unthrifty. mat would be a fine levied on the man for being thrifty and offer a re ward of Immunity to the man who would "drink up" his extra money. It says, "don't, own a homo or vou will become a member of a class which wo propose to milk."- : JLiater on we are to have "Old Age Pensions - for every man when he reaches say 60 years. ' That law Is under consideration In England now. The Dlan la a noble one. for it would remove that awful ghost of fear which haunts most people. Every man should pay a small tax . toward this desirable benevolence. ' But notice, when the Labor-Socialist leaders in England were asked if the members of their class would contribute, the answer was, "Not one farthing' They propose to aecure ' the entir sum from th home-owner "class." Back again to their principle, you seei- v . It seems benevolent to vote large sums for public work for the "unem ployed.". That class is made up largely of Labor-Socialists and incapable, botch workmen. The worthy, workmen are seldom "unemployed." Manv of these "unemployed", are the noisy chaps who. caned strises vaurtng tne prosperous years. They Wouldn t work themselves and kept thousands of good men .from work., - ' - They boycotted , factories ' and de stroyed:, business, 1 compelling, other workmen to He Idle. , ' k c They stopped the loading and un loading of snips and railway cars stopped work on buildings, the mining of gold, silver, copper and coal. Stopped the manufacture of millions of aoiiars- worth or American articles which foreigners stood ready to pay money ior. It Is believed by many that one of tne chief causes of the oanic and Dres ent hard times was the persistent and widespread Interference with, and stop nsge of Industry brought about by these same L.aDor-BociailstH in driving away business and preventing the steady distribution of money among the work ing classes. Every million dollars' worth of steam pumps, farm imple ments, boots and shoes, steel, iron, locomotives, cars, cotton goods, etc., etc., sent abroad, brings back a million dollars to be distributed to the work men, who dig ore and smelt it; molders who cast the Iron, machinists, wood workers, cotton mill employes, etc., etc. But the Labor-Socialists have time and again stopped up the source of this flow of money and have entailed on this country millions upon millions of dol lars in losses and consequently, much misery upon work people. The . labor leaders' have brought strikes to force all emnlores to kick out Independent American workmen and employ only "union" men, thus to give absolute power to the leaders, secure fees to pay their own salaries first and. in order to keen their slaves Interested. force higher and higher wages. Here we reach the foundation fact again. Now. when the lobs of the Labor Socialists threw away, are taken by others, or the business has been killed for the time, and they are "unem ployed," do they pay their own expenses Jorlty because they make the most noise, but It has been shown time uiid again that when a public man prosti tutes his Ideas of right and justice to the common cltlaen, and supports mea sures which seek to take money, prop erty and liberty away from the home- you want to And real, genuine enthusi astic Portland boosters get out of town and go over th atate. "Coming from Ashland to Portland and spending a week en route at Ash land, Medford, Grants Pass, Roseburg, Albany and Stayton, I met a delegation of 160 from Jacksonville, others from Central Point, Cottage Orove, Eugene, Salem and other points, and everywhere there is a determination on the part of the people to make' Oregon the best known state in the union.

"He has been saving, now let's take away part or it High wage for skillful work Is do slrable for all, but when a Labor Union gains power enough to force homeown ers to pay two, three or four times what hod-carriers and other workmen are actually worth it means Just so much extra money extracted from the home-owner nor than th arylo la worth. It comes back to the same old place, you see. Look at the purpose of all the anti-injuction bills introduced by th Labor-Socialists. Each and every one seeks to tie the hands of the people's courts, and for what purpose? TsTo In junction Issued la labor strikes ever harmed an honest citizen, intending to peacefully pursue hi occupation. Injunctions stop mobs. Intent on In sulting, assaulting and perhaps murder ing other citizens, from congregating. The Labor-Socialist raises a loud cry because he is commanded by a court to keep off the public street near a fac tory employing Independent men. The Injunction always directs the man or men to stay off certain streets or refrain from doing other things, when It Is reasonably well known thay Intend to go on tho streets or do those acts, to Insult, or assault citizens or de stroy property. The peaceful citizen is never hurt by an injunotlon In a la bor case and the courts have a right to prevent injury to the interests of any community. But injunctions do prevent Labor-Socialists from terrorizing people into submission to in j-aoor trust. Therefore, In order to secure submis sion and power to' extract from the em ployer extra money, they contend the Injunction amat be done away with.

The law-deflers are organised and able to present organized labor against heretofore, an unorganized public. Now, however, the Home-Owners have ef fected an organisation known as the Citizens Industrial Association of Amer ica with a central body in New York and local bodies In many towns and cities. Competent lawyers are em ployed to watch the vicious measures introduced in congress and the legisla tures snd defend the rights of the com mon Citizens from these insidious at tacks and to prevent the enactment of laws which rob one class, the Home- Owners, and pass over to the Labor-So cialists money and propertywhlch they do not earn, and power which would en able them to enslave the common peo ple and force them to "obey." All of tnis work requires money 'ror legit imate expenses. Every reader who feels a desire to help In this organized work of protection can forward to the National citizens mauntriai Associa tion, St. James building. New York, such contributions as he decides upon, from $1.00 to $600.00. The work Is now be ing carried on and with gratifying re sults. It can be widely extended and more certain protection insured by em ploying a larger force of active workers. The Labor-Socialists contribute liberal ly for the suppprt of their organization and the common Home-Owners are but Just now beginning to learn that they are In danger of most serious conse quences unless a determined organized stand Is made and the work of protec tion carried on intelligently, skillfully and with means enough to make it ef fective. The officers and directors of this Na tional Association are sufficiently well known to insure careful and honest use of funds. A statement will be sent to each contributor from tim to time, and the "Square Deal" magazine mailed each month. This Is a clearly-drawn contest be tween the Common citizens and Home' Owners seeking protection and the La bor Trust seeking to ootam control or affairs and take money and property irom tne ome-uwners. The strongest organisation will win and If the Home-Owners fail to stand together they will certainly lose at least a part of their properties and more or less personal iiooriy. mere are com munities now where organized labor has gained control and every man must "bow" ana conirioute ana implicitly "obev." oult work when told, patronize those whom tne lanor teaaera designate, ana in various ways act, me siave.
