They crowd- ed th rails of the ahips and looked longingly at the lights of the elty which will be denied to them, aa long aa there la any danger or cholera. raaaea Oorregldor, The fleet steamed past Corregtdor Island a little after noon and anchored In tha bay at a o'clock in tha after noon. A number of email vessels went out to meet tne iieei ana aocompa.aiiu It to the anchorage place, but the re ception, such as it was. was reserved -xor tonignt. . ! The sailors were eager to hear from their countrymen and the bands on each ahlp played aa the little launches circled about them, with the oocupants homing, waving flags and crying out -welcome." to their fleet for which they had waited ao long. The ships were all Illuminated. Want to Thank Them. "1 wish we could take them by the lianda and, thank 'em. said a sailor on the Georgia. "I wonder If I'll see Bill, or if hers shut In the barracks with the cholera." Bill Is a soldier friend of tha sutler and the two had been looking forward to their reunion at Manila for months. The case Is typical. Admiral Sperry had received word from Secretary of the Navy Metcalf that under no circumstances are the men of the fleet to be permitted to no ashore until all danger of the chol era Is absolutely over. There Is no danger of the disease spreading but no chances are to be taken. The fleet will remain off the break-1 water until October 10, when the ships start for Yokohama. The health of the men la perfect, and every effort Is to be made "to keep It so. A Severe Blow. The epidemic at Manila lias been a aevr blow to the business Interest, of the islands'! Clovernor-Oeneral Smith has the situation well in hand and re ports that the oholera will be entirely under control soon. ' Extensive preparations had been made for the entertainment Of tha men but these will have to be changed be cause the men will not set foot on shore at thla visit. Thar la to oe a Mg water parade tomorrow and OoverSor Oeneral Smith will board tha Connecti cut and pay his official call to Admiral Sperry Governor-General Smith has Issued the following welcome to the fleet and It waa read before the men on each ahln: "Wa have looked forward for' many months to the time when we might -attend welcome to the officers snd the men of the American battleships, but that pleasure has been postponed al most In the hour of realisation and It la a sad disappointment to ua all that flying flans and the wave of dlatant hands must alarnat the hearty welcome wnicn our eyes ana up wouia giaujy : wearing varsma, "The actual handclasp and word a of matin milil rA AafarraA av Ilttla While. but when the time ooraea they will be none the leas warm for a little wait In.

The first mall aacka arrived lata In the afternoon and the men spent their time lolling on the deck, reading the letters they, had received from home.

Santa Roea, Cel., Oct. 2. Reports re ceived thla morning say that the post office and several other buildings at Kenwood. Sonoma county, were burned early today In a fire that threatened to wipe out the town. The telephone wires are down and It Is 'Impossible to get complete details of the fire at this time. Kocker waa arrested today on tba charge of . having f. murdered . Mrs,- Grace i White, who waa found dead at Kocker'a borne in Del Monte Grove laat night 1th a bullet hole In her head.

Guthrie, Okla., Oct. 2. It appears to-, .day that further trouble will grow out of the efforts of the Prairie Oil com pany to lay pipe lines along the high ways of Rogera county, which led to the dispute between uovernor c N. Haskell and Attorney-General West and since has become an Issue in the national campaign. The board of commissioners today sent an appeal to West, asking, if un der the law, they had the power to grant the company the right to construct the lines. West warned the commissioners The city of Warsaw. Russia, shares in the profits of Its first electric street car line, recently put Into operation. A Dangerous Trust. did not nave such power. determined effort will be It that they is certain Tt determined effor made to atop the laying of the pipe lines, in spite of the attitude of the governor and West today in of the opinion tnat tne standard subsidiary win do oaiKea The only trust having the impudence I has also spent over a million dollars In to openly assert that It Is going to elect Its own ymt representatives to public jjoff ice la the Labor Trust. The election therefore will determine whether the Common Cltlsens retain con trol of pnhllc affairs, or allow the Labor Trust magnates to govern. The common man loses his liberty when he and his fellow citizens allow any organiiatlon or trust to get control, for each trust whether of labor or cap ital Is In business to gather every dollar possible and divide up among the mem bers (if the managers leave any). And where do they gather all this extra money? The Meat, Steel, Oil and other Capital 'trusts raise the price of their products. The Labor Trust does the same thing by boosting the price of the plumber, meat chopper, ironworker, shoemaker, baker, etc., etc., and by fining them for breakins: rules and also fining, em ployers. The particular shoemakers, bakers, 'etc., etc., who happen to be members of the Labor Trust mny not get much extra money out of It, but the Trust Managers seem to handle heavy sums. Now to get hack to the question, where does all this money come from. this extra money both labor and capital trusts are striving for. , There is only one place for them to get It. my friends, and that is from the pocket of the com mon cltlgen not a member of any trust. defending criminal members brought be fore the courts and It has at times tied up Industries and squeezed extra money out of the public, but It can never per manently raise wagea beyond what the Industry can stand. In fact, the highest He Is the long suffering workman who pays to add extra dollars to the earn ings of both Labor and Capital Trusts. We all admit that both trusts arc right enough In trying to earn all they can, but the cltlsens they are feeding oi. absolutely must keep awake and protect themselves at the polls and before the courts or the trust members get fatter and the common eltlxen thinner. The non-trust citizens are heavily In the majority and protect themselves easily when roused, but they often allow de signing men to manlpuate politicians and lawa until the common people are helpless. Why do you speak of the "Labor Trust?" someone asks. It haa been clearly defined as a trust In the "fullest sense of the word by the best lawyers In America Including Clar ence Darrow the Attorney for tha Amer ican Federation of Labor and by the Vnited States Supreme Court Itself. Tou see ill trusts are formed to ac complish certain things. Control production. Control prices. Control members of the trust. Get the highest price the public will stand. The Meat trust controls and aell meat, the Labor Trust controls and sells labor, both feed off the public, and It li perfectly safe to assume that the man sgers of either or any trust will "soak the cltlsens for every dollar they roan get. eri!r Vmt'4 by r smount of row. scale of wages is paid in factorlea Inde pendent of the Labor Trust. It Is uni versally admitted that the Individual Quality of the working members of the unions has declined and it persistently endeavors to keep our youth from learn ing trades except In the restricted num ber set bv the trust and entirely under its control. Its warfare and criminal record Is something fearful to contemplate. The homes of workmen burned or blown up and other property destroyed has run Into millions of dollars while the citizens who have been beaten, maimed or murdered aggregate In the past 10 years several hundred thousands. There were over 6,000 men assaulted or murdered In one strike (the team sters) in Chicago a few yeara ago. All of this violence has been done to estab llsh the fact that If the common man asserts his right to freedom and de clines to bow down to the orders of the Labor Trust, he must be punished and forced Into submission. It has cost the common citizen mil Hons of dollars to support police and soldiers to preserve property and pro tect themselv.es from thtf attacks of this trust Next Move. er tre r-p'e w'H give them.

Hence the demand that they be exempt from the trust lawa and that the hands of our courts be tied so no injunction can be Issued to prevent them from picketing, boycotting, slug ging or blowing up property. We were treated to a good Illustration of how trusta work together when some chiefs of the Steel Trust, Joined the chiefs of the Labor Trusts at the Re publican convention In Chicago and agreed among themselves that the 8teel trust would work for the antl-lnjunctlpn-tle-the-hands-of-the-courts platform de manded by the Labor Trust if In turn the Labor members would work for a repeal of tha Sherman anti-trust law de manded by tbe Steel trust. Both work ing to be free of laws which were ob stacles to their further control of the people, and what would be the condition of the common man If the National Cltl ens Industrial association and Its allies with their lawyers headed by James A Emery bad not fought them to a finish and Insisted tbat theee trust planks should not be Included la the Republican platform? We have an Association now made np af cltisena through which tha right a of the common anan ran be asserted and defended to an extent, at least. Thoe by organisation, the trust organ isations eaa b met and checked. Tbe common eitleene who read the nepers, vote and attend to the affairs f life are far and away In the majority over the members of any trust, labor or capital, and -wfeea they understand the MO den attack made on tbeir liberties they act wfn. Wht Shall Rule ? Now the Labor Trust ettenl aa-ta tbat Its members r Id politic to de feat public men who have been brave enough to stand fearlessly for tbe rights of the great masses of workers and do ers who are not trust members. Just so sure as tools of the Labor Trust (or any other trust) are elected to public office, just so sure the common man will suffer. r. That applies even down to petty officers. If an ordinary policeman secures his position from the Labor Trust he is slow to protect the citizens In time of trouble. Many such an officer has been blind to the slugging or innocent citizens and onl? too willing to allow violence if done by a labor un ion slugger. Probably no more glaring falsehood and impudent appeal for sympathy was ever sent broadcast than the late as sertion by the leader of tbe Labor Trust when he announced that the American Federation of Labor waa one of the strongest elements known for the pre servation of peace. Their violent methods are ao well known and established that whenever the trust orders a strike, the public au thorities immediately set about to pro vide some sort of protection for the cit izens and their property. A single clip ping from a late paper Illustrates the feeling. "The Corn Products Company has an nounced that its new 14,000,000 plant, a few nrlles south of Chicago will be un der -open shop" rnle, and that union men. If they want work there will have to leave their union affiliations outside the protected land. A stockade eight feet his and bullet proof has been built around the alte." Citizens Protection. Citizens have been careless In consid ering the Insidious moves made by the Labor Trust seeking control over af iBirs. ii is nme tnat each free man questioned carefully Into the Intent and purpose of each candidate for public office, without regard to his politics. It's a question of protection against trust growth now. If a candidate openly or Mddenly stands for Labor Union domination, hoping thereby to be elected bv the Labor Trust" members together with the votes of the cltisena who don't realise the danger, vote for him if you think best to put your affairs and lib erty in the hands of the leadera of thla great trust. But It will be a black day for Americans when any trust gains power enough to enact their own laws and to dictate when a freeman shall work, when quit and bow much ha ah all pay to support the managers. Also what articles shall be bought What care used. What stoves, hsta. shoes, clothing aqd even the bears uaed to bury the dead.
