MAKES RACY READIXG
Congress is now investigating
the Manufacturers Association
and have Mulhall, their lobyist,
on the staiui, who is disclosing
some of the means used in
strikes, ami in elections to carry
out the designs of the associa
tion. One of the methods disclosed
was this: In case of a strike
the manufacturers would ship
in other employes who were en
couraged to join the strikers
when, the latter would try lo
entice them to do so, the object
being to burden the strikers so
that their funds would be used
up, causing them to become
more dependent, anil thus break
down the opposition.
Another instance was how
that money was raised and used
to influence voters so that the
men who would suit the organ
ization might be elected and
those to whom it was opposed,
or in other words, those who
would not work for the benefit
of the organization, be defeated.
It would appear from the
light which is Hashing out from
the investigation that this or
ganization was in existence and
doing business for it,-elf first,
last, and all the time to the
detriment of its employes, the
public, or anything else which
might stand in its way. There
was no regard for the rights of
other persons, and only sellish
interests furthered by the organ
ization. These investigations enlighten
the public, that is, the part of
the public that reads and thinks,
but it is, perhaps, too late for
the benefits to accrue, which
would have obtained had the
infidelity of these classes to true
principles, been made known
sooner.
There is a time, when that
which is pointed toward des
truction, may turn, or may be
turned, but when certain limits
are passed nothing but wreck
and ruin can obtain; for in
stance two trains rushing toward
each other if taken in hand in
time may be stopped and the
danger turned away, but after
the deadline has been passed
there will be havock.
In national life there are
many interests which enter in,
and part of these interests are
induced by selfishness, and
when the sellish spirit is urged
on and controlled by greed, with
little, or no morality, nor regard
for equity, nor the rights of
other individuals to check its
course, it is not likely that it
will stop short of a complete
wreck.
Governments which tolerate
and let such institutions thrive
under their rule have to move
out, after a while, that a new
order may take its place and try
its scheme of governing.
The Washington Id in th East
Washington's buy husband
law has traveled Kast; or at
least the central idea in it has
invaded New York; and in the
Km pi re State as well as in the
Kvergreen State it promises to
be hard sledding for the man
who deserts his family or who
will not support his wife and
children.
The Survey announces that
with the approval of the Com
missioner of Corrections and of
the Judges of the Domestic Re
lations Court, a bill similar to
the Washington statute has been
drafted for New York City. The
bill provides that men convicted
of the offenses set out shall be
put at some useful labor, and
that the sum of 50 cents for each
day's work shall be paid to the
prisoner's dependents; which
provisions, in the matter of labor
and compensation follow the
plan in force in Detroit and the
City of Washington.
All this lawmaking pertains
to the lazy husband and the im
provident father; but with all
that the object is not so much
to punish him as it is to correct
his habit, and at the same time
afford some protection to his de
pendents. These two comprise
the major consideration; and
the factor of compensation
where the law takes the pro
ducer, or the man who is obli
gated as the breadwinner, away
from the family looms big.
That issue of compensation is
one that we believe will he more
seriously considered as time
passes. There is much to be
thought about it, and much to
be said about it. Thore are
many sides to it the welfare of
the family; the beneficial effect
of the knowledge on the part of
the culprit that he is earning
something; the substitution of
an earned and independent com
pensation for the money which
society must otherwise pay as
charity. The state can afford
to return to the family the value
of the labor, with a big margin
of profit from the good that
woul.l result to the familv and
to the culprit himself. Portland
Telegram.
It is declared by those em
ployed to check over the names
on the petition for the applica
tion of the referendum to the
workmen's compensation act,
that many frauds have been per
petrated and that the whole peti
tion may be annulled. This
causes no stir anywhere, for the
reason thatfraudson referendum
petitions have become so com
mon that a thoroughly honest
and straight demand for the ap
plication of it would cause com
motion. Dallas Observer.
He Wit Only Beating Time.
The conductor of the band was a
ragtime enthusiast. Violently he
beat time, leaning far over, now to
ward one instrument, now toward
Bnother, stamping his foot in his
paroxysms of musical fervor and
seeming about to spring from his
box and carry the excitement of his
own soul to one or another of the
perspiring musicians.
Mike followed his every move
with fascinated eyes until the close
of the melody; then with a disap
pointed air he started to leave.
"How did ye like it, Mike?" asked
Jerry.
"Come away, Jerry," said Mike in
disgust.
"Oi've been watchin' him for half
an hour, and he hasn't hit one of
thim yet!"

Praised to Death.
An English court haa sentenced a
woman to imprisonment because
ehe refused to epeak during a trial.
The old penalty for remaining mute
under similar conditions wan lteing
pressed to death. The form of sen
tence set forth. "The prisoner shall
be laid in some low, dark house,
where he shall lie naked on the
earth, and one arm shall be drawn
to one qunrter of the house with a
cord and the other arm to another
quarter, and in the same manner
let it be done with his legs, and let
there be laid upon his body iron and
stone, as much as he can bear or
more." There the man had to lie.
On the following day he whs given
three morsels of bread without wa
ter, on the following water, but no
bread. . And this was his diet until
he died.
The Father of All Novels.
A great branch of literature, un
doubtedly the most widely popular
and one in which England showed
the way to the world, is the novel.
In the year 1740 readers were de
lighted with a new kind of book, a
prose romance not of legend, but
of their own day and manners. It
was the pioneer novel, was called
"Pamela," the work of Samuel
Richardson, a London printer, and
the great success it met with soon
brought forth a host of others.
A Good Laugh.
Every hearty laugh tends to pro
long life, as it makes the blood flow
more rapidly and gives a new and
different stimulus to all the organs
of the body from what is in force at
the othr times. The saying "Laugh
and grow fat" has therefore a foun
dation in fact.
One Way.
"Will you have the kindness to
take my overcoat to town in your
automobile?" inquired Mr. Dalton
of his more prosperous suburban
neighbor one cool morning.
"Certainly," was the response,
"but how will you get it again ?"
"Very easily; I shall remain in it."
