President Roosevelt’s next great banting trip will be directed against octopi]which are now very numerous.

Secretary Shaw declared to the railway men]ftbat the United States oilers its products to all the world on equal terms. This disregards sundry i nti orations [that Europe can buy some of our goods cheaper than we can.

It is quite probable that high school students will soon have fistic bouts instead of so much racing, jumping, throwing etc., and at the end of each term in the spring have a county free-for-all fight with medals for the best knockers. That will be pleasing to President Roosevelt, at least, if it doesn’t become popular with the general public.—Lake County Star (rep.)

The Kentland Enterprise says that Attorney Rogers was over from Morocco Monday and secured the necessary papers and went to Indianpolis Tuesday to perfect the appeal to the Supreme Court in the proceeding brought by Morocco citizens in an attempt to stay the building of a new court house in Kentland. The basement walls of the new court house are completed and brick laying as commenced on the first story. The building will no doubt be completed and occupied long before a hearing-can be had in the Supreme Court.

The Democrat has no particular love for the express monopolies of the country, having been robbed continuously by them for years on practically every package of express matter received or sent out, in exhorbitant rates for carriage, like thousands of others, but it does admire their attitude toward re-employing the union teamsters who struck for no cause whatever in the senseless teamsters’ strike in union ridden Chicago. Their men were told that if they struok their places would be filled by others and that they would not be taken back, but they ignored the contract made with the express people and obeyed the dictation of Shea and his cohorts of anarchists and left their jobs. Now they want the express companies to discharge the men who stood ready to take their places, and who did take them, and take every one of them back. The companies refused to do so, and it is hoped that they will adhere to this decision to the end. The theory of the unions that a man can quit his job when he pleases and take it up again whenever he gets ready, regardless of the wishes or consent of his employer, must be settled, and now is as good a time its any. The Democrat believes that the man whose money is invested in a business aud who is the brains of that business, should have something to say about how it is to be conducted. If the employes do not want to work for a firm or individual who insists on running their own business they have a perfect right to quit, but they have no legal nor moral right to stand outaide the door with a club and assault other men who are anxious to take the jobs they have left. The right of every man to labor for whoever will employ him, regardless of whether or not he wears a union tag, and the right of an employer to employ whom he chooses, must be maintained, no matter what the oost may be.

PEACE MOVES ARE HOT SUCCESSFUL

Everything "Off’ at Chicago Now but a Fight That Will Go the Limit. LAKE BOATS MAT BE INVOLVED One Stpamer Company Required to Carry “Boycotted” Goods. Militia Prepares for a Call and the Sheriff Says It Will Come Qntckly If Tnrbnlenoe Grows. Springfield, 111., May 25. Reports from Chicago to Governor Deneen indicated the situation to be so serious that the governor abandoned a trip to Thebes, 111., where he Is to be present today at the opening of the new bridge across Mississippi river. Instead he remained at Springfield.

Chicago, May 24.—A1l prospects or peace in the teamsters strike have disappeared and It will be open war from this time on. The last conference looking toward a peaceable adjustment was held at the city hall between Jas. B. Barry, business agent of the Express Drivers’ union, and the local managers of the seven express companies. Business Agent Barry opened the negotiations by saying: “Our position Is this. I want all the men reinstated except those who have been guilty of violence. I cannot do anythingdifferent That is what the local union wants, and that Is what the local officers have told me to demand. That is all I can do. The men told me that they all want to go back In a body or they won’t go back at all. That Is the position of the union and the union officials.” Reply W«» Very Clear. The reply of the representatives of the eipress companies was brief. It was: “Our opposition to the reinstatement of the men will be the same four years from now as it Is today. We will not take them back under any circumstances." This brought the conference to a close, and all parties concerned in It Immediately left the city hall. Spread of the Strike Was Small. The spread of the strike during the day was not as large as was anticipated. It being understood in many quarters that there was still a possibility of peace being reached. Four hundred and sixty-two drivers employed by twenty firms belonging to the Lumbermen's association went out. This is only a beginning, because the merchants and manufacturers are determined that goods shall be delivered where they want them and not where the unions decide. Lulu Sailors Stay Bo Involved. In Judge Bethea’s court another Injunction was secured by the employers which may play a prominent part in the strike. The Goodrich Transportation company was restrained from refusing to carry goods consigned to the firms involved in the strike. The Goodrich company is reported to have been refusing such consignments in order to avoid trouble with its crews. It is believed that a strike of sailors and freight handlers on the lakes is possible. Troop* To Be Promptly Called. Sheriff Barrett said: “At the first outbreak of trouble which in any way approaches the rioting we lmve had 1 shall call for troops. I will do everything In m.v power to maintain order, but the minute it gets beyond me I will appeal to the governor and the troops will he on the ground within less than two hours.”

GETTING THE TROOPS READY Uilltary Men at Chicago Looking for a Strike Duty Call. Military men here are looking for a Btrike duty call, and they say they are ready. Before two hours after the sheriff’s call. If it is sent to Springfield, all the regiments in the city can be assembled at their armories, equipped and armed for duty, their cartridge belts tilled with cartridges. Special Inspections have been conducted by all the regiments. At First brigade headquarters Adjutant General Scott and Brigadier General Moulton met In conference. The strike situation is supposed to have been the chief topic of their talk and a system is said to be arranged by which all parts of the city can be controlled from the brigade office in Orchestra hall. General Scott was on bis way to the G. A. It. encampment at Rockford and would not talk of the probability for a call for troops. Instructions In bayonet exercise is being given in many commands. The art of handling the blade has been neglected during the last few years In the regiments, following the theory that bayonets are of no use against modern bullets. But bayonets may be useful in Chicago streets, and the commands “Lunge,” “Butts to the front” and “Head parry” are becoming familiar once more. The First regiment possesses two Hne Gatling gunfi with highly trained crews to man them. If the regiment is called out these field pieces will be hauled out and placed at vital points

where the most trouble is likely to occur.

LEGAL IND Off THE MATTER I ad ye Kehlsaat Bean of Thirty-Sevaa Violator* of Ml* Injunction. Thirty-seven violatorsof federalcourt strike injunctions wereordered brought before United States Judge Koblsaat next week to show cause why they should not be attached for contempt. With the motion for these rules, Attorney Mayer informed the court that affidavits in support of a motion for rules against the “chief conspirators” In the teamsters’ strike would be ready In a day or two. Rules also were asked against witnesses In the Sherman hearing who declined to answer certain questions.

Judge Kohlsnat ruled that Cornelius P. Shea, president of the Teamsters’ union; James B. Barry, business agent for the Express Drivers’ union; Adolph Pfeil, a striking express driver; John H. Donahue, a striking express driver, and Bernard Mulligan, president of the Express Drivers’ union, answer the questions put to them in the hearing before Master-in-Chaneery Sherman. The grand Jury has indicted twelve men in connection with the death or Charles Carlstrom, the member of the Carriage Makers’ union who died as the result of the. beating he received at the hands -of thugs, hired by* the officials of the union, according to their own story. The indicted men are Geo. Meiler, formerly president of the union; Henry J. Neuman, secretary: Charles J. Casey, business agent; six members of the executive committee of the union, and Charles Gilboolsy, Marcus Looney and Edward Feeley, the three men who were hired by the officials of the union to beat men who did not go on strike, or took the strikers’ places.

The indictments charge manslaughter, and conspiracy to commit great bodily injury, the autopsy having shown that the death of Carlstrom was due directly to pneumonia. The physicians declared—that the discs sewas probably the result of the injuries he received, but it was still the direct cause of death, and the men could not therefore be charged with murder. The affidavits filed in support of the motion to bring the thirty-seven alleged injunction violators into court were sworn to by employes of the Employers’ Teaming company, and by citizens. The first in the case of the Employers’ Teaming company is made by F. Tv. Buckminster, a detective, who swore to seeing certain defendants throw brieks. MAY AN WEU FIGHT IT OUT That I* the Feeling of the Men Who Fight the Unions. The United Employers’ Association of Wood Workers Is determined that its products shall be delivered according to the orders of its owners, and this will lay off 1,800 more drivers. , Then when new non-union drivers deliver this product to new buildings the building trades are expected to refuse to “handle non-union material” and this means the paralysis of building operations in one of the best years ever started at Chicago. But the employers are determined in their war on the sympathetic strike. Edward Hines, president of the Association of Wood Industries, said that the members of the organization proposed to stand together, and when asked if peace was In sight, said: “Peace! I am not looking for peace. I am in this thing now to fight it out. We may Just as well have it over once for all. The Employers’ Association of Wood Industries is affiliated with the Chicago Employers’ association, which has been fighting the strike thus far, and of course, we will work in conjunction with them.” The possibilities for increased rioting are vastly enlarged by the spread of the. strike to the lumber district. The territory which generally goes under this designation extends along the river from east to west about three and a half miles and for probably a mile to the north and south of the stream. It is a district noted for the tierce mobs which lmve marched through It durformer strikes.

That Anonymous Reformer. In speaking of ambition, the governor alluded to letters he had received from persons who wanted some particular reform in their own community being ambitious, as they stated, for the good of their community, to see these reforms made. The governor said, however, they were not ambitious enough to sign their names to the letters. Another of th* Same Kind. “In the same class,” he said, “was the citizen who would write a long letter to the chief executive, telling him of some flagrant law violations, and then closing the letter by saying that he hoped the governor would regard the letter as being strictly confidential and not to use the writer’s name in connection with the reforms. “God save Indiana,’’ said the governor, “from her confidential citizenship.” At the conclusion of the commencement exercises the governor, board of education, faculty and class held an informal reception in the parlors of the church.

THEIR LIBERTIES ARE INFRINGED Citizens of Sellersbnrg Insist on the Privilege of Spitting Anywhere Out of Doors. Charlestown, Ind., May 26. Because of metropolitan airs and the consequent activity of citizens who believe themselves governed more than is necessary, the little town of Sellersburg is In danger of losing its charter. A short time ago the town enjoyed a boom and, while making other improvements, adorned the principal streets with concrete sidewalks that stretched in inviting perspective beneath the maple tree. But spltters spoiled the prospect. They insisted that the streets were not sacred and that any one wanting to spit on the sidewalk had a right to do so. Then the town board passed an ordinance imposing a fine of $5 on any person caught expectorating on the sidewalk or ii public places after June 1. This action led a number of the citizens to think they were too well governed, and they started a movement to hold an election to determine whether the town shall remain incorporated. They say that the legislature, the town board, the trusts, the temperance and the anti-cigarette people are depriving them of all liberties.
