HEMENWAY AND CRUMPACKER FOR LABOR. FOUR PAGES OF THE JULY Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen's Magazine, published by the Brotherhood of Locomotive Fire and Enginemen, are devoted to the congratulation of the brotherhood over the passage of ' the ash pan bill which was introduced by Senator Hemenway of Indiana and was supported by Representatives Watson and Crumpacker. The magazine states: "It is doubtful that a bill in the interest of labor has been more expeditiously enacted in the United States congress or more strenuously opposed by employing interests than has the ash pan bill, which on May 30 became a law, being signed by the president on that date. "Representatives of the railroads contended against the utility and practicability of an automatic self-dumping ash pan, claiming that no ash pans have yet been devised which could be dumped or cleaned without the necessary men going under the locomotives. "The B. of L. E. convention being in session the days that the fate of - "the ash pan bill hung in the balance at Washington, Grand Master Hannahan requested that body to exert its influence in behalf of its enactment, and in compliance with said raquest each delegate to the convention sent a message to his congressman and both senators, -while the bill was in the house and one to each senator after the bill reached the senate, making a total of about three thousand messages and representing an aggregate expenditure on the part of that organization in support of the measure of

about $1,500." t Other ar-iHfiR in the Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen's Magazine told of the great pressure that was brought to bear by the railroads to prevent the assaee of the ash pan bill, but Hemenway, Watson and Crumpacker stuck to their guns and voted for the bill. The railway men of Lake county doubtless appreciate the loyalty of i, the three men who stood by them and voted for the passage of this bill. It is plain that only base ingratitude would, in the face of what their own ' magazine has to say, permit them to vote against these men. It behooves the railroad men of Lake county to stand by their friends. Jf Ed Simon is elected to the legislature he will vote to send a man yet unknown, who may or may not be friendly to labor, to the United States senate. A vote for E- W. Wickey means the retention of Senator Hemenway, labor's proven friend. The same is true in the case of Congressman Crumpacker. He deserves the support of all laboring men on his record as a friend of labor. Even James -E. Watson, who has been the object of an unwarranted attack by certain democratic labor leaders, voted for the ash pan bill and fought for it as only James E- Watson can. SURELY LABOR WILL NOT FORGET THESE THINGS ON ELECTION DAY. V WHEN THE MOBILE EMIGRANT RETURNS.

ONE OF THE INTERESTING movements which many people consider more barometric in social and economic conditions than bank clearings, Wall street or the crops, is the turn in the Immigration tide. For months it was on the ebb. Vast importance was attached to it and it was not to be considered lightly. The great out-pouring of the foreign element began last fall. It was a forerunner of the financial flurry. Possessing more wisdom than we give them credit for, the hard-headed, self-reliant foreigner went home to weather the storm. He knew, it seems, what was coming and got out from, under. True, a few remained here in Hammond and were pinched for the necessities of life, but the average uncouth Slav hied him back to Europe, refusing to clamor for food. Now the tide has turned. More by instinct than anything else, the stalwart emigrant is coming back. He knows there is to be work for him this winter. He is coming back to do the hard work and the dirty work, and the cheap work in mill and mine which the American won't do. The incoming foreigner is a true forerunner of better times. HOW ABOUT YOUR COAL SUPPLY?

THIS IS NOT, DEAR READER, a boost for the coal dealer. Far from it. There is only one thing we dread more than the coal man in the winter, and that is the Ice man in summer, butThe railroads are again warning the people of a threatened coal shortage during the coming winter. Up to this date much less than half as much coal has been moved as had bene shipped at this time last season. The reason is that consumers will not buy early and dealers will not store. This is folly.' It isn't safe to tempt fate. Every man who uses coal should order it now. Every influence should point to the consumers the unwisdom of their delay. Don't forget the winter of 1906. Coal can't always be secured to be fed in from hand to mouth just as it is needed. THE SPECTACLE OF William Randolph Hearst on the stump, in New York, chiefly for the purpose of defeating his former runinng mate, Lewis Chandler, and to that extent assisting in the election of his dearest' foe, Governor Hughes, is another conspicuous illustration of the singular and bewildering operations of the political whirligig. WHEN ANYONE WARMS up to you these days and starts to talk of the national game, you have to scratch your poll before you can figure out whether he means baseball or politics. '

Talks. 5 By EDWIN A. NYE. Copyright, 1308. by Edwin- A. Nye. THE CRY OF THE MOB. "Justice!" So shouted the mob at Springfield, 111. Angered because a prisoner charged with a heinous crime and now likely to prove his innocence had been spirited away by the authorities. vexmg the heavens with raucous cry the mob surged through "thex bad lands," torch in hand, giving to the flames the homes of decent citizens with the property of the vile, making hideous the slums of Springfield with its hoarse, Insistent demand for blood. "Justice!" Voicing its grim demand, it rioted in brutal wounding and killing of men, women and children. "Justice!" Night and day, day and night, went up the awful growl of the multitude, appeasing for a moment its thirst for blood by dragging an inoffensive mau of eighty years from his peaceful home, beating this white haired octogenarian as if he were a mad dog of the streets and then gloating over his hanging body. Thus the Springfield mob, aflame with hatred of a race, drunk with vengeance, riotous, insane. But Let us look behind this hateful face of anarchy, foul with passion, lost to human instinct, murderous, and find some adequate cause for this outbreak of a maddened people. . Surely there must be some final cause the slow, growing sentiment, settled into public conviction else the terrible spectacle is meaningless. There was a cause. For years the miscarriage of justice In the courts had been countenanced by sworn officials for the sake of votes. For years the release of known criminals on technical or political terms had been winked at by those who were set for law enforcement. Public sentiment had piled up behind the dam until the barriers gave way and the flood put to scorn the puny arms that tried to stop it! "Justice!" The eternal years of God are hers. Somehow, somewhere, some time, her verdict must be put on record if by no other means, then by the mob. THIS DATE IX HISTORY.

Emerson, Neb., Sept. 30. William H. Taft was scheduled to make ten stops in Nebraska today and Governor Sheldon and United States Senator Brown, who joined the party at Sioux City, assured him that he would have no difficulty in carrying Mr. Bryan's home state. "Nebraska will give Taft from 15,000 to 20,000 majority," said Governor Sheldon, rin spite of the fact that a good m'aAy democrats who voted for Roosevelt will probably vote for Bryan this fall. Mr. Bryan's friends are working the local pride argument for all it's, worth, and it is possible that they may win in some votes in that way, but there is no possible excuse for either putting the state in the doubtful column or claiming it for tly; democratic nominee." Washington, Sept. 30. President Roosevelt will not reply to the latest letter of William J. Bryan, given out by him last night at Rock Island, 111. Secretary Loeb stated today that the president felt that inasmuch as Mr. Bryan's letter was simply an attack on him personally there was no reason why he should answer it. Tom Grant, candidate: for cheriff on the republican ticket, says he is well satisfied with the results of his campaigning. He finds a friendly feeling for his candidacy all over the county. John W.
