The discomfort which, Mr. Hughes' speeches caused Mr. Bryan made that gentleman Indulge In a little invective ft9 to Mr. Hughes , record, charging Jiim with Toeing allied with the corporations. - . ' The fight which is being waged In New York between the republican party under Hughes and the democratic party under Chanler is on the subject of public service commissions which' Hughes inaugurated. What happened? There is a before and after to that situation. Before. The companies could privately charge such rates within the state as they wished to fix. The require ments or tne interstate commerce commission, that tariff schedules be filed and kept public applied only to Interstate traffic. Such rates as they had for state traffic could be changed instantly to accommodate favored shippers and to discommode shippers who were not favored. The Pullman company had no pubHe rates. , Discrimination between shippers and the giving of rebates were not general. A few years ago all the railroads carrying grain from Buffalo to New York, gave the Western Elevating association a rebate of one-half cent per bushel upon all grain shipped from Buffalo thus preventing other elevator companies from doing business. After. The companies must file with the public service commission and keep open to the public schedules showing all rates and; charges. With such a publlo record, inequalities and unfairness are apnavent. Changes in rates

can be made only upon filing with, the commissions and publishing such changed rates at least thirty days in advance. The Pullman company, following the requirement to file rates had to. equalize them with the result that such, important Pullman fares as that between

New York and Albany were cut from Jl to 75 cents, and that between New York and Poughkeepsie from 50 cents to 35 cents. Any carrier making discriminations between shippers or giving rebates is punishable by fine and imprisonment and subject to $5,000 for each offense. The reason why the words of Hughes hit hard into Mr. Bryan's proposed remedies for corporation evils, was because Mr. Hughes has had more success in bringing about good conditions and doing away with trust evils than Mr. Bryan even dreamed of. Governor Hughes realizes that while public service and other corporations are necessary, their evils are harmful to the country at large. His remedy helped conditions, and did not harm the rail roads. His point of view was not only that of Mr. Roosevelt, but that of hundreds of thousands of people in this country. His words in condemnation of Bry an propositions designed to kill the trusts, to kill the evils if unscrupulous men sometimes engaged in large business, is therefore particularly convincing. He said: "When, however, wo consider these other remedies that arc proposed for the trusts, we find ourselves journeying In a land of dreams. Again the magiclan of 1890 waves hiB wand. At a stroke difficulties disappear and the complex problems of modern business are forgotten in the fascination of the simple panacea. And as the free coinage of silver In the ratio of 16 to 1 was to destroy the curse of gold, so the new found specific of equal perfection Is to remove the curse of industrial oppression. The delusion of 1908 is comparable only to that of twelve years ago. This proposal In its utter disregard of the facts of business, in its substitution of the phantasies of tho imagination for the realities of life, stamps the Democratic platform with the fatal stamp of 18915. The commerce and in dustry of this country; the interests of its wage-earners and of its inter-dependent masses, who must rely upon the stability of business, cannot afford to give license to such' vagaries. In the solemnity with which this proposal has been declared, and the insistence with which it Is advocated we find an appropriate test of the capacity of our opponents to deal wisely with the problems of the day. It is the function of law to define and punish wrongdoing, and not to throttle business . In the fields of Industrial activity the need is that trade should be fair; that unjust discriminations and illegal allowances giving preferen tial access to markets should be pre vented; that coercive combinations and improper practices to stifle competition should be dealt with regardless of indi viduals; but that honest industry, ob talning success upon its merits, deny ing no Just opportunity to its competi tors, should not be put under prohibi tions which mingle the Innocent and the guilty in a common condemnation." These aro not the words of a dreamer they are the words of a man who has extermined abuses in business without hurting business. They are the points of difference in the Republi can and Democratic parties. The man who knows all about how the election Is going from the straw vote may get his "I told you so" buried under the straw stack on November 3. Richmond Is an appropriate place for a straw stack we have enough threshers here to do the whole Job. The hot wave will probably end when you have gone back to summer clothes and the furnace Are has gone out and you have bought a new ice book. It was unfair to South Carolina to visit it with Tillman In Europe. Where did he leave the pitch fork? South Carolina is used to being carried with that Mr. Gompers will doubtless discover that it requires something more than daily and nightly stunts of voclf eration to deliver the labor vote.

HE KNOWS

GOMPERS INCONSISTENT IN HIS ARGUMENTS

It is not the intention of the subsequent article to call in question at all the integrity of Samuel Goiwoera as a labor advocate, nor to question his devotion to the interests of the American Federation of Labor or to laboring men in general, but it is to show that when he assumes to declare his preference for Ma Bryan he says some things as an advocate of Bryanism which are contrary to some things he has done in the interests of labor. In other words, we wish to call attention to the fact that Samuel Gompers in the present campaign is a defender of democratic policies and the democratic candidate in the same way that any democrat espouses the cause of that party. His advocacy of Mr. Bryan is not alone nor solely because he believes Bryan's policies better for labor than the republican policies, but because he is a democrat; nor is his opposition to James E. Watson based on the value of Mr. Watson's services to union labor as compared with Mr. Marshall, but because Mr. Gompers is a democrat and Mr. Marshall is another democrat, while Mr. Watson is a republican. The labor issue is infinltestimal in Mr. Gomper's plan of campaign. "You never heard of Mr. Gompers trying to elect a republican," was the significant summing up of that gentleman's attitude toward the two great parties given by Hon. James E. Watson in his recent speech. Mr. Watson had just told how he and Mr. Gompers had come into oratorical conflict in several different congressional districts two and four years ago in each case Mr. Gompers endeavoring to elect a democrat. And that is one of the chief things to remember in reading accounts of his platform or typewriter appeals to working men to turn their backs on the only national party that has ever given this country prosperity in nearly three-quarters of a century, or can submit to labor anything like the magnificent record of laws in behalf of labor as was presented by Mr. Watson recently in an address. Mr. Gompers himself officially com mended Mr. Watson in the following) terms: Gompers Commends Watson. Under date of May 16, 1902, using the official letterhead of the American Federation qi Labor, Mr. Gomp ers wrote to Mr. Watson as follows: "Dear Sir I have observed with much pleasure your activity in the THEY MAKE YOU BELIEVE Because They Prove All They Claim. There is no room for doubt when so many people of good standing are anxious to tell their friends of the great good received from the use of toot Juice.

cause of the regulation of immigration, and in particular your introduction of a bill providing that no adult immigrant shall be admitted to our country till he has acquired the first rudiments of education." The writer then proceeds to make his wants known in regard to "pending and prospective legislation." It will also be well to keep in mind Mr. Watson's early proven public record, to say nothing of his platform utterances or private endeavors in la bor's behalf. Measures Supported by Mr. Watson, As a member of congress Mr. Wat son has by voice and Vote proved his friendship for the wage-earner. The record shows he voted in labor's be half in the balloting on the following measures : To extend and strengthen the law compelling use of safety appliances on railroads. To provide for reports on all collisions, causes and results. To provide . for more rigorous inspection of water craft. To limit letter carriers work to forty-eight hours a week. To give thirty days' annual leave of absence to employes of the government printing office. To re-enact and extend the Chinese exclusion law; also to extend law to island possessions. To require contractors building structures for the government to give bond to protect wages of laborers. To require street car vestibules, in the District of Columbia. To require factory owners in the District of Columbia to provide ample fire escapes; also for compulsory education, truant officers, prohibiting employment of school children; also requiring employment agencies to take ou licenses. To make wages of laborers preferred claims in bankruptcy proceedings. To order the department of commerce and labor to investigate conditions of women and children working in industrial establishments, as to wages, hours of labor, terra of employment, health, illiteracy, sanitary conditions, etc. All federal laws now on the statute books in the interest of labor were strongly, supported by Mr. Watson. In the fifty-seventh congress he introduced a bill for restriction of immigration and succeeded in getting it added as an amendment to the general Immigration bill then under discussion. RETURNS AFTER 17 YEARS. Clem Mason, of California, Visits Economy. in Economy, Ind., Oct. 20. After being away for seventeen years, Clem Mason of California, is visiting in Economy, as the guest of Lee Stamm. Friends of Mr. Mason heard nothing of him after he left Economy and his whereabouts were unknown until about a year ago when he was met by Mr. Stamm while the latter was visiting in California.

Talks. By EDWIN A. NYE. Copyright, 190S. by Edwin A. Nye. TO THE BOSS. You have young men in your employ. Has it occurred to you that you owe these young men more than their salaries? Or if you fight shy of moral mattershave you considered that you might sot such a good example before these young fellows as to raise their standard of honor and conduct and you profit thereby? You are the pattern which those under you will imitate. Consciously or not, those who work for you look up to you and follow you. You are their ideal. You have succeeded in the business in which they hope to succeed. What more natural than they should Imitate you and your ways? Therefore you may be sure Your standards of life and business. your habits and purposes, will become theirs. You may defend yourself by urging that your life is your private affair. You may say to your people, "Do as I say, not as I do." Nevertheless thr will judge your creed by your actions. Rare is that young man who is able to profit by the errors of his boss and avoid them. You cannot conceal your real charac ter. For example: If you are accustomed to use sharp practices in your deals, if you deceive your customers, your employees knov it. Unconsciously they will adopt as their code, "Be honest with the firm but cheat other people." If you will think a moment you will see where that sort of -'honesty" leads. If you sow dishonesty you will of dishonesty reap your losses. If you swear, habitually or occasionally, expect to hear the echo of your oaths from the mouths of your under studies. And expect also to lose some tiling of the respect of your peopi when you thus lose your poise am. your temper. If you lrink. even occasionally, yoi thereby invite drinking by your heir era. You may have strict rules for bidding the 'ise of liquor. You wil fint? that your habits count for niort thai your rules. It ou gamble, your men will knov it. And if some any one of then embezzles your money to pay his gam bllng debts yon will know the reason. If you dissipate or speculate, look out! The boys will dissipate and spec ilnte. Now. tliis i not a preachment. It is struittht speech man fashion. Do not deceive yourself. Decency, cleanliness of life, fine purposes, are still at a premium In the business world and Uwnys will be. Objectively Considered. Ruggles- What borse(ower is yonr new automobile? Ramage Two.

Jocky Mason reached London on Wednesday and kept his apiintment with ' Inspector Bradley on Thursday evening. ! The inspector received him gracious- ' ly, thus chasing froiu the ex-convict's ; tuiud a lurking suspicion that matters were awry. Tne re U a curious sympathy between the police and well known criminals. They meet with frU udHness aud exchange pleasantries, lis a watch do- miht fraternize with a wolf in t& hours. ! But Mason had no responsive smile or ready quip, i "What's up'.'" he demanded morosely. "You scut for me. Here I am. I would have brought my ticket sooner if you ; hadn't written." i "All ri'ht. Mason. Keep your wool j : on. Do you remember Superintendent ! Kobiuson':" "Him that was Inspector in White- ' chapel when I was put away? Rath- ! er." I "Well, some friends of yours have ' been inquiring from him as to your whereabouts. He sent a message round, aud I promised that you should meet them if you showed up. I was half afraid you had bolted to the States." "Friends! I have no friends." "Oh. yes, you have very dear friends. Indeed." "Then where are they?" 1 He glared around the roomy police otiice, but it was only tenanted by policemen attending to various books or chatting quietly across a huge counter. His surly attitude did not diminish the inspector's kindliness. "Don't be so doubtful on that poiirt. Mason. Have you no children?" Something in the police officer's eyes gave the man a clew. Ills swarthy face flushed and his hands clinched. "Yes." he said huskily, "I left two boys. Their mother died. They were lost. I have looked for them everywhere." Inspector Bradley pointed to a door. "Go into that room," he said quietly, "and you will find them. They are waiting there for you." Mason crossed the sanded floor liks one walking In his sleep. He experienced no emotion. He was a man stunned for the nonce. He opened the door of the waiting room and entered cautiously. He might have expected a hoax, a Jest, from his attitude. Two stalwart young men were standing there talking. Their chat ceased as he appeared. For an appreciable time father and sons looked at each other with the curiosity of strangers. He knew them first. He saw himself, no less than their unfortunate and suffering mother, in their erect figures, the contour of their pleasant faces. , To them he was unknown. The eldest boy was ten years old, the younger eight, when they last met. But they read a message in the man's hungering eyes, and they were the first to break the suspense. "Father." cried John. The other boy sprang to him without a word. He took them In his arms. He was choked. From some buried font came , long forgotten tears. He murmured their names, but not a coherent sentence could ho utter. They were splendid fellows, he thought, so tall and well knit, so nice mannered, so thoroughly overjoyed to meet him. That was the best of it. They had sought him voluntarily. They knew his record and were not ashamed to own him. During the long days and night of ceaseless Inquiry he was ever tormented by the dread lest bis children. If living, should look on him as accursed, a blot on their existence. He half hoped that he might discover them in some vile slum, where crime was hallowed and convicts were herocs. He never pictured them as honest, well meaning youths, sons of whom any father might lie proud, for in that possibility lurked the gnawing terror of shame and repudiation. Mason's heart was full. He could not thauk God for his mercy. That re source of poor humanity was denied him, and. to his credit be it said, he was no hypocrite. Ilia seared soul awoke to softer feel-1 Ings, as his eyes, bis ears, his very heart, drank in fuller knowledge of them, but he was tormented in his Joy by an agonized pang of remorse. Oh, that he could have met them with . , , . M . , hands free from further crime! In som vnriii wnv ht flt that hl , punishment for Thilip Anson's death would be meted out by a sterner Justice than the law of the land. He was too hard a man to yield instantly. He crushed back the rising flood of horror that threatened to overwhelm him in this moment of happiness. He forced himself again to aaswer their anxious InnnlriM tn nrta hi- ! rt inquiries, to note their little airs of manliness ami self reliance, to see with growing wonder that they were well dressed and wore spotless linen. A Police station was nn nhro far ttvn. a ponce station was no piace ror conndences. Indeed both beys were awed by their surroundings. 1 t-. , . . rl . . They passed into the outer office, and Mason went to thank Inspector Brad'ey. "Don't forget your ticket," whispered The reminder jarred, but It was unavoidable. Mason got his ticket Indorsed, the lads looking on shyly the while, and the three regained the free dom of the street. "Let us find some place to sit down and have a drink." suggested Mason. "No, father, said John, with a frank smile. "Neither of ns takes drink. Come home with us. We have a room ready for you. "I have lodgings" "Ton can go there tomorrow, and tret

i uTha lH1a rf X CUWAKIi J . tLUUt. -w "Yes. Jump into this cab. urged Willie. "We live in Westminster. It Is not very far." - ' Mason was fascinated by the boys pleasaut assumption of authority. They spoke like young: gentlemen, with the accent that betokens a good education. He yielded without a protest. They sat three abreast in a hansom, and the vehicle scurried off toward the Westminster bridge road. Mason was in the center. His giant form leaned over the closed doors of the cab. but he turned his head with interested eagerness as one or other of his sons addressed him. I suppose, father, you are wondering how we came to meet in such a place," said John. "It might putzle me if I found time to think." j "Well, the superintendent arranged ' evervthincr. T'lifortunatolT- lie was away ou his holidays when when you were released or we would have met you then, and his deputy was not aware of the circumstances. As soon as the superintendent returned be wrote to the governor and was very much annoyed to find that you had slipped away in the meantime.' "He wouldut W so annoyed if be was there himself," growled Mason good humoredly. "Oh, John didn't mean that, father . broke in Willie. "The annoyance was his and ours. You see, we bad not known very long where you were. W didn't even know you were alive. "Of course, of course. Somebody has been looking after you welL That's clear enough. They wouldn't be always telling a pair of boys that their father was in Portland." "It gave us such a shock when we heard the truth," said downright John. "But we were so glad to hear that our father was living and that we should soon see him," explained the younger. "When did you hear first? "About four months ago. Jnst before , we took our present situations. We are Mddlers and ornamental leather workers. Between us we earn quite a decent living. Don't we, John?" "In fifteen weeks we have Mved enough to pay for half our furniture besides keeping ourselves well. There's plenty to eat, dad. You won't starvs, big as you are." They all laughed. The cab was passing St Thomas hospital. Across the bridge a noble prospect met their eyes. London bad a glamour for Mason that night it never held before. "So Robinson wrote to Bradley, knowing that I would report myself today, and Bradley arranged" "Who Is Robinson, father? interrupted John, "The superintendent, to be sure. He used to be inspector at Whltechapel." "He Is not the man we mean. We are talking of Mr. Giles, superintendent of the Iary Anson home." The two boys felt their father's start of dismay, of positive affright They wondered what had happened to give him such a shock. Teering at him sideways from the corners of the hansom, they could see the quick pallor of his swarthy face. "You forjret. John." put In the adroit William, "that father knows as little about our lives as we knew about his until very recently. When we reach our flat we must begin at the beginning and tell him everything." (Continued.) AT GREAT COUNCIL Cambridge City Red Men Send Large Delegation. Cambridge City, Ind., Oct. 20. Wm. Oldham.
