Among the campaign lies which have been floating about there is one In which Taft is reported to have said that "a dollar a day is enough for any man." That hardly needs refutation, but in regard to Taft's attitude toward labor In his decision on the bench, his remarks will be of general interest and should be read by every working man: "Now I come to the question of injunction. In the first place, I understand that my own personal attitude toward labor has been represented as a man who thinks and says that a dollar a day is enough for any man. Well, there is one short way of meeting that statement, and that is that it is a lie! I never said so, and I don't think it t argues intelligence in any man who believes that statement for what under heaven would induce me or any one else to say so? "In the second place, they say I am 'the father of Injunction in labor cases.' I have issued injunctions in labor cases, there is no doubt about that, and I have done it because the rights of the plaintiff entitled him to an injunction, and when I am on the bench and enforcing the law I enforce it, and I do not make any apologies for it. It has been my lot to sit in labor cases, to sit in antitrust cases. When I am a judge on the bench, in so far as I can I decide cases according to the law and the facts, no matter whom it hurts. ' "It has been my lot to lay down ths rules with respect to the rights of labor In two or three cases, and I refer to those cases as a full statement of what I believe the rights of labor to be - wf th reference to its employment. Labor has the right to unite in organiza-

tlons for the purpose of looking after the united interest of labor In its controversy with capital, because if it did not unite and was not permitted to unite, then it would lie helpless. Laborers have the right not only to unite, but to contribute funds, which In times when they wish to leave the employ of their employer, when they did not like his terms, may support their fellow members. They have the right to appoint officers who shall control their action if they choose. They have the right to invite all other laborers to unite with them in their controversy, and to withdraw if they choose from association with their employer; but they have not the right to injure their employers' property, they have not the right by what is called a 'secondary boycott' to invite a third person Into the controversy who wishes to keep out, but threatening a boycott with him unless he assists them in the fight. In this fight between the employer and the employee, or the united employees, they must fight it out between themselves, and they must not involve the rest of the community, in it by a system of duress. This law, I believe, is a fair

WASHINGTON AND Interesting Incidents Washington, Sept. 12. Some day there is going to be a bill offered in Congress so amending matters that after its passage, the assistant secretary of the various departments will be named by the heads of those departments instead of the president. The secretary of the treasury is rigidly held responsible for the treasury department and of course, for the assistant secretary under him, yet he has nothing whatever to do with the selection of them. There is nothing to prevent the president naming as an assistant a man personally inimical to the head of the department, but as a matter of fact he is responsible to the president and can almost ignore the secretary. This has in the past sometimes been found to be an intolerbale state of affairs, and it is an open secret that more than one secretary has resigned on account of the men forced upon him as assistants by the president. On the other hand, capable and experienced men have been made so uncomfortable by the secretary under whom they served that they were forced to retire, although that has been rare. Usually the assistant has had the better of theargument. The theory underlying the present method of naming the assistants is that it prevents the heads of the department becoming too powerful. For instance, suppose that the secretary of war had the naming of not only his assistant secretaries, but of making all the other nominations in his dedier generals, colonels, etc. It wouldn't be long before the secretary of war was about as big a man as the president. It can be easily seen how abuses would creep in. On theother hand it is a question if the present arrangement does not place too much power in the hands of the president, making him more of a monarch that is really compatible with a republican form of government. It is not to be denied that as it is the president is given extra political power by the right of naming the assistant secrtaries. The president is not always free to name exactly the men he would have for his cabinet. Geography is to be considered. Factions are to be given representation. Presidents have named as members of their cabinets men whom they have never met and of whom they know but little. WThen it comes to naming the

SOME INTERESTING INCIDENTS Or Undertakers About to StrikeMurder on Border Reacted

Paris, Sept. 12. The undertakers of Paris are on the verge of striking, not because they want more money or shorter hours but because they are dissatisfied with the uniform which they are required to wear and have worn for a century or more. At a meeting the other night their union decided that "a more graceful costume" was highly desirable. The uniform at present consists of black evening dress of cloth guaranteed to stand wear and tear and correspondingly stiff and thick, black hoots, white shirt, black tie and a shining black stovepipe hat. which can be sat upon without feeling it. At a funeral the headman who leads, now wears a red and blue sash over his shirt front as a visible proof that undertaking is a municipal service, these being the colors of the city of Paris. The sash is & comparatively new idea and so seems to have bred envy in the breasts of those of the rank and file, who are now appealing for something more becoming than their present attire. No actual design for a gayer garb ha3 been proposed by the union but some suggestions have been made, tor instance, a special light uniform for summer funerals is thought of. Black evening dress is considered ill suited to the summer sun and there is no hotter headgear than the shining stovepipe. Black or even gray alpaca has been suggested or silk of some pleasant hue, both neat and not gaudy, for more expensive ceremonies. With It a straw hat with a black ribbon or a panama with skull and crossbones and fancy vests in gray or black and white stripes would go well. In short the Idea of the undertakers

law, and, being a fair law, when I was on the bench I attempted to enforce "Now gentlemen, this theory that if you weaken the courts by taking away the power of injunction in certain cases you are going to help the workingman is utterly unfounded. The person who is going to take advantage of the weakened power of the courts is the man who has wealth enough to enable him to employ astute lawyers to know what the technicalities are that he can take advantage of and know the weakness in the armor of the court that he can pierce, to know when he can escape the object of the law in the punishment of the really guilty person. It is expedition that helps the poot man, because he can not afford to have his case delayed." Taft's position in regard to the "secondary boycott" should be praised all over the country by every fair minded man whether a laboring man or not. The practice of making trouble for men who are not at all guilty of any injustice toward either of the parties engaged in the controversy is to say the least, unjust and illegal. The "secondary boycott" has done more to

HER LAWMAKERS In the Routine of Dally Life at assistants the president has a free hand. The head of the department may be a straight party choice, but for the first a ssistant the president can make a purely personal selection. Thus it has come about from time to time that the president has taken advantage of this to put a man in who would serve as a watch on the head of the department. Through him the president could keep informed of all that was going on in that department, whether the head was inimical or friendly. Speaking of the war department reminds me that our army is in a very bad way indeed. Not only is it growing smaller every year, but enlistments are also falling off at a great rate. The most discouraging feature is the decline in re-enlistments. It is upon the men who re-enlist that we depend for a drilled army, an army that knows its duties and work. If the men do not re-enlist, or at least a large proportion of them, we will soon have an army composed almost entirely of taw recruits, or men but little better than recruits. Our laws now call for an army of about 70,000 men. It is but little over 50,000, and this despite the utmost efforts that could be made to swell the enlistments. John Sharp Williams, the democratic leader in the house has introduced a bill limiting the army to 35,000 men. As things are no"w going that bill Is not necessary. The army will fall to the number of its own accord in a very short time. : What's the trouble? There are sevsay the mistaken treatment of the enlisted man. When a man enters the army he expects to become a soldier. Did you ever belong to the army? If you did you will know that you were far from being a soldier. You were a hostler, a gardener, a roustabout, a flunkey for some officer, a housemaid, a sort of serf, but you never were a soldier save at drill time or when you had disobeyed some stripling officer's orders about blacking his boots or some other menial service. When the army itself treats the sodlier as a soldier it will find men re-enlisting. Another objection to entering the ranks is. found in the pay. For $13 a month Uncle Sam expects a man to abandon the life of a free American citizen, who fixes his own hours for sleeping and waking, who chooses his own time for work and play, who can quit his job if he doesn't like it, who can go to see his girl every night in the week, if he has a leaning that way, for a life where be is constantly under union is to liven up funerals while remaining within the bounds of good taste. The other day a railroad coach at the Franco Belgian frontier station of Guevy was carefully placed across the boundary line between the two countries which the rails pass In such a manner that one half of it was in France and, the other in Belgium. Then at the same moment a French judge entered through the French door and a Belgian judge through tae Belgian door. The French magistrate looked out of the French window and the Belgian out of the Belgian window while before their eyes was "reconstituted" a murder committed three years ago by four men who broke into a house at Mons and killed a servant girl. All four were recently captured. Two of them are Frenchmen and two . Belgians, hence the strange proce-j dure. The "reconstitution" was noti accurate even though, according toj custom, a policeman unpersonated the murdered servant, for the spot where the crime was committed was at Mons on Belgian soil. In this case the two Belgians accused were placed on Belgian soil and the two Frenchmen on that of France in view of their re spective examining magistrates, while; the crime was "reconstituted" without any effect whatever. There has long been a popular feeling that such absurd legal ceremonies should be abolished, the best argument against them being their absolute uselessness. The original purpose of the antiguated procedure Is to note the impression produced on the prisoners, the mediavally melodramatic Idea being that the guilty will turn pale and the innocent remain tmmoved. As a matter of fact

hurt the cause of labor than to help it. Where it has been employed it has made enemies for the union and has arrayed the public sentiment (which naturally belongs to the laboring man), against organized labor. As time has gone on the labor leaders themselves have come to see the justice of Taft's stand on the secondary boycott. It was the case in the Rule 12 decision of the Railroad Brotherhood. Taft has not been unfair to labor he has merely been just. Labor has always maintained that they were against special privileges, no matter to whom granted and only craved Justice. Another point which must be constantly remembered is that once a law is passed, until that law is held unconstitutional or is repealed, it must be enforced. It is the duty of the judge on the bench to interpret the law as it stands and above all things not to play favorites. Labor has nothing to fear from a man who has shown by his record that he stands for law enforcement and is conspicuous for his absence of partiality.

IN WOMAN'S EYES the National Capital. the orders of some one ejse and can't get out from under those orders till his time is up. ' Treat the enlisted man as a soldier and give him asoldier's duties, Increase his pay until it amounts to something worth while; vary the killing monotony of his life and the ranks will fill fast enough and stay full. After all diplomats are but human beings. We are sometimes Inclined to regard them as lifted Tar above the ordinary cares and worries and petty things that bother us people in the lower planesof life. That is probably because we see them generally only when they are diplomatlng, if you will permit m eto coin such a word. The operators in a pbotograph gallery see and hear mucn of what is under the surface, and one of tem was telling me a little incident that illustrates what I have already 6ald that diplomats are just common folks, after all. Oneof the important members of the important embassies decided to be photographed, and in company with his wife called at one of the studios. They were accompanied by a valet and a maid and a great bundle of uniforms and gowns, for they proposed to have several views to show off their "glad rags" if nothing else. After having been "took" in several different styles of state regalias the diplomat started in toarray himself in garments that accompany an afternoon stroll on Connecticut avenue. "Hand me those 6tripcd trousers," he cried to his valet. That's not exactly what he said, for he spokein his native tongue, but that was what he meant. The valet dived into the great bundle, and tore it apart, upside down and over and over, but no striped trousers came to light. "I do not find them," replied the trembling valet. . ! "Zounds! Donnerwetter! Caramba!" was something like the diplomatic remark that followed. Then, turning to his wife: "Didn't you put them In?" "No, dear," she said. "You said you put them in, and when you say you have done a thing I consider it done," was her civil and djplomatic rejoinder. 'Suddenly the diplomat saw that his valet was y earing striped trousers. "Those will do just as well," he said "Take them off." The valet did so promptly, and soon the distinguished gentleman was posing before the camera in the desired trousers. LIFE AT PARIS Plague In Cambodia the hardened criminal is much more likely to remain unmoved under the circumstances than an innocent man who has any nerves. This FrancoBelgian reductio and absurdum made necessary because noither country extraditos its own citizen or subjects should hasten its abolition. Cambodia, the ancient kingdom of the Khiners in Indo-China, now a French protectorate, is In a panic owing to an outbreak of plague. Telegrams received here state that King Sisowa has been vaccinated and that there is a perfect craze for vaccination at his court. The plague broke out not only at Pnompenk and the French doctors wished to vaccinate the people but one of Sisowath's sons, Duong Mathur, declared himself against vaccination. Even when one of his wives died of the plague be refused to allow her body to be removed. His obstinacy cost him dear for soon afterwards he caught the plague himself and died. His father, the king, immediately sent for the doctor and was vaccinated. He wanted to be vaccinated four times, once on each leg and once on each arm and the doctors had the greatest difficulty in making him understand this was quite unnecessary. Then all the ministers were vaccinated, the King's wives and all the royal household and the rush to follow their example has been such that more vaccine has been telegraphed for from Saigon. The only peopte of any distinction who have refused to be vaccinated are the minister of war and a daughter-in-law of King Sisowath. They threatened to commit suicide if forced to allow the doctors to operate on them. The king however, bu not wasted any words on

In Great Want Ad Contest The great interest taken by the boys and girls in the Palladium and Sun-Telegram VVant Ad Contest has demonstrated throughout what the little tots can do. When you give the little boy or girl who calls at your door a want ad, you are helping he or she to win a handsome prize. If you can not think of anything to advertise at the time, ask the boy or girl for one of his cards and a Classified Blank, fill it out, bring to our office and it will mean much for the little contestant. Our VVant Ads give greater results than any other paper in Richmond. When you consider that for a few pennies you can place an advertisement in the homes of over 5,000 families and thus, counting five to a family, the paper is read daily by over 25,000 people, the results must necessarily be greater than our charge of one cent per word would lead one to think. TO THE CONTESTANT Resolve to call at each house or store in your district: your work will be liberally rewarded and you will receive advertisements enough to increase your vote considerably. If your name appears below and you are not credited with the largest number of votes in your district, make an effort today to bring to our office at least one ad and if you are willing to work, we have no doubt but that it will be possible for you to brinig at least one advertisement to our office each day during the remainder of the contest. If this is done, you will stand a very good show of winning the handsome prize which wiil be given in each district in which a contest is carried on. Remember, the contestant credited with the first $10.00 worth of ads receives a commission of 50 per cent or a prize of $5.00 for their efforts. This contest is not necessarily a small child's contest. Any boy or girl in school, in high school, or even in college, can -participate. The older the contestant is, the greater their chances for success. The art of "want ad" soliciting is a business to which many men devote years of study and naturally the contestant experiences some set-backs. The way to win out in anything you undertake is to remember and act upon the old maxim, "If at first you don't succeed, try, try again," and it is just such boys and girls as this who are rewarded with success, not only in their first undertaking, but in their after life of business, so let us all make a new start today with the determination not only to be the successful one in this contest, but to make it a success in every undertaking in life.

There is still an opportunity for anyone to enter the contest in the districts below and iT the proper amount of energy is displayed in soliciting want ads there is a splendid chance for the last one entering to be the one to win out at the end. Anyona wishing to enter the contest now is entitled to 200 votes for the first ad brought to this office. Below is set forth the standing of the contestants in their respective districts

them, but just shut them up in the palace until they change their minds. A highly interesUng police dog competition has just been held in the Winter Velodrome, when several clever animals of the sheepdog class gave remarkable exhibitions of how they can deal with Apaches. At the word of command the dogs scaled high walls, located hidden objects and guarded with the utmost fidelity anything confided to them. They attacked dummy Apaches with savagery, refused to accept food from any but their own masters and did other remarkable things such as holding a man at bay without touching him. The palm was awarded to two Belgian j sheepdogs, Jules and Porthos, which I climbed walls eieht feet hleh. Out of curiosity, no doubt, a number of youths obviously of the Apache class attended and their faces paled as they saw the murderous way in which the dogs attacked the dummy Apache placed in the ring and the wonderful sagacity with which the animal discovered men hidden in various parts of , the building, and held them at bay until the arrival of their masters. Other dogs when called by the sound of a whistle to the assistance of their masters upon whom attacks were simulated, showed themselves furious, but happily , for those who played the part of the aggressor the dogs were muzzled. One remarkable exhibition was that of a dog named Petit Mousse which was placed on the opposite side of a seven foot wall to its mistress, Mme. Vouriots. She was then attacked by three footpads who had taken the precaution to wear thick leather overalls. Oa hearing its mistress cry for help Petit Mousse was over the wall in two seconds and It would have fared ill with the mjen acting the part of footpads but for the thick clothes. The dog unable to get at them with its teeth, threw itself at them, knocked them down and tore at them with its claws. Canadian Fisheries. The fisheries of Canada are the most extensive of the world.

colleges. There men had to be employed because they were the best that could be found. One man who rose to be the chief dairy Instructor in a state afterward went to a dairy school and took a full course, showing that he felt that be had something to learn, even though he himself had been an instructor. Today we are getting the result of the past twenty years of training in the agricultural schools and their dependencies, the dairy schools. Th men at the head of the departments today are vastly superior in training to the men that occupied the same positions twenty years ago. They have not only learned all that their Instructors knew, but have dug up other facts and have assimilated the new facts dug out by other people in all parts of the world. But where there were few positions to be filled twenty years ago. there are thousands of places to be filled today. There are more schools and all of them are larger. Moreover, private enterprises are levying toll on the young trained men going out of the agricultural schools and experiment stations. Another twenty years will possibly show as great an advance as have the past twenty. Agricultural Epltomist.
