BRYAU HAS LOST HIS POPULARITY III OLD II1DMIM
Since His Turn Down in Nebraska It Is Quite Probable Indiana Democracy Will Not Invite Him.
DEMOCRATIC LEADERS HOLD MEETING TODAY And Question Concerning Invitation .to "Peerless One" Will Be the Subject of Much Debating.

indlanapolis, July 28. Prior to tie
meeting of the democratic Ute com
mlttee, at stats headquarters In this
city, today, it was the understanding that the members of the committee would probably have a few things to ray on the proposition of whether Bryan shall make speeches In this state this rear. In view of the fact
that his own party in ita sUte conven
tion In his own state of Nebraska turned htm down cold. Tuesday, when
be attempted to have the state plat
form Include a plank favoring county
option. The Nebraska democracy an
nounced its opposition to county op
tion. Just as the Indiana democracy has declared Its Intention to repeal
the present county option law In this
state In case they control the next
legislature. Bryan worked aa hard
and as vigorously for the adoption of
a county option plank In the Nebras
ka state platform aa he ever worked for free silver, and be lost out In
about the same measure. That's Where the Rub Is.
There was a rumor that some of the members of the state committee at the meeting today would question the wisdom of the campaign committee in deciding to Invite Bryan to speak In this state daring the campaign on behalf of the democratic ticket. It Is said that some of the committee members fear that It would be a ridiculous proposition to bring Bryan Into Indiana to speak while standing on the wet platform of the democrats when In Nebraska he stood firm for county option. It was even suggested that
tee might enter an' objection to the coming of Bryan, even if he Is willing to come and take the chances of embarrassment. There Is said to be a plan on foot among the temperance people In some parts of the state to fire a lot of questions at Bryan If he speaks In support of the democratic ; platform declaration on the liquor question In this state this year. A man who Is In a position to know what he Is talking about said yesterday: "I shall not be at all surprised to see some man in each of Bryan's crowds get up and ask him how he can preach county option in Nebraska and against it In Indiana. In fact. It Is almost a certainty that this will be done and I am anxious to see how he will answer If Shlvely Will Attend. Although Senator Shlvely had not figured on coming to Indianapolis before tomorrow, it was believed that he would come In today in time to attend at least a part of the meeting .of the ' committee. He was expected here last
week when the campaign committee and the democratic state candidates
met, but he did not show up. The
first of this week the officials at the state headquarters tried for two days
to get In touch with him before they were able to get an answer from him. Calls were made over both long dis
tance teiepnone lines and finally a
telegram was sent, and It was not un
til several hours after the latter bad been dispatched that Shlvely answer
ed. He said he would be here Friday
morning, but later he got on a tele
phone line and said be might possibly
drop In today.
When Shlvely arrives he will find
John w. Kern absent. Kern is In
Michigan on bis vacation. A good many persons have speculated on
whether or not Kern left town to avoid meeting Shlvely when the latter came to town, but there Is nothing in this report Kern was ill and was
obliged to go to Michigan a week or
two earlier than he had planned. There Is not much danger of Kern seeking to avoid a meeting with
Shlrely. Senator Shlvely has not been in In
" EVILS OF FACTIONALISM.Trades Uniens Should Present Solid Front to Their Foes. , There 1 altogether too much factionalism In tbe world of labor. Of course every faction seeks to keep In stock a shop worn set of alleged excuses for its failure to get In line wltb. the big family of unions, but none of tbem will stand analysis, because uo logical reason con be given to Justify any split in labor's ranks. Quarrels over personal opinions or ambitions are personal affairs and should not affect the attitude of the workers toward the labor movement, nor should tbey prevent the workers from 'fully realizing the value and necessity of unity. The moment a group of workers announce their Independence of the general labor movement they convict themselves as being either ignorant or filled with selfishness of the narrow type tbat hopes to secure some temporary trivial advantage for a select few at the expense of tbe many. , The desire to bold office Is perhaps the most common cause of factions among unions, but It Is not a good reason.
Tbe labor cause Is or vastly more
Importance tban any Individuals in It.
and when any alleged labor man advocates division of the forces of labor it is pretty clear that such a man
holds bis opinions and selfish interests
as of more Importance than tbe cause.
and tbat be is unworthy of support,
Such differences of opinion as may exist between members of labor unions as to correct union laws or policy
should always be settled within tbe
union and never be made a pretext for
factionalism. When differing opinions are discuss
ed within tbe union, tbe discussion is
educational and beneficial, because tbe constant grinding of one intellect against another is broadening In its
effect, serves to put tbe adherents of
each side on their mettle and very
probably will result in correct action
But if tbe union splits, each faction
being composed of men wbo think alike.
deprives both factions of tbe education
al effect which can only come through debate. Thus there Is lost not only tbe unity essential to success, but also the
broad educational Influence of discus
alons based upon divergent opinions.
Imagine tbat members of a union seek to make some change in union
rules or laws and when defeated tbey
secede. They "were very sure they
were right, but when tbey seceded tbey took all the adherents of their pet re
form out of tbe union and left tbe union to go unreformed. Now, assuming tbey
were really right. If they had stayed in tbe union tbey would surely prevail In
tbe end. Thus secession or factional
Ism not only tends to render the union
weak, but to deprive It of the benefits
of suggestions of reform, some of which might be valuable and might finally be
adopted.
And labor needs unity now more tban ever before, in spite of tbe progress
tbat has been made, because our opponents are becoming better organized and because the pay envelope is not keeping pace with tbe increasing cost
of living.
The old saying that "there is a time for everything" does not apply to splits
In the forces of labor, because there Is no time appropriate for labor to split. Bear and forbear In tbe discussion of your differences, but preserve unity. Say to yourself, to nonunlonists and to independent factlonlsts. tbat labor has no time to spend In factional discussion except to unite tbe factions that have already been created, and that the time to unite la now.

Negro Fiend A waiting Doom:
Will Be Executed Tomorrow
(American News Service.) i Ft. Madison, la., July . 2S.-Before!
the expiration Of another day John Junkln, the negro who on the night of
February 5, 1009. - brutally murdered
and then robbed Miss Clara Rosen, a
handsome choir singer at Ottumwa, in
this state will have expiated bis. crime
upon the gallows. The scaffold re
cently erected at the penitentiary Is
waiting for the doomed man and the preparations for the execution which have kept Sheriff John G. Clark of Appanoose county busy for many days are completed In every detail.
With the approach of the. time for
his execution the condemned murderer has become extremely nervous and the prison guards who have kept the death watch over the prisoner for sev
eral weeks have doubled their vigilance, fearing tbat Junkin, almost insane from fright over the approaching ordeal, would attempt to commit suicide at the last moment, rather than undergo tbe legal penalty upon the
scaffold.
The attitude of the negro murderer
has undergone a remarkable change since the time when he was first taken
to the penitentiary to protect him
from being lynched. After his . fear of the lynchers had worn off Junkin displayed a bravado which thoroughly
disgusted the prison officials. He seem
ed to feel great satisfaction over bis
importance and notoriety and dfd not even lose his assurance when he was found guilty of murder and sentenced
to death. But, as the time for his execution approached, his dread of the terrible ordeal made him a craven, sul-
ten and whining as his moods change!.
Junkin out of the city and bringing him by. special train to Fort Madison, where be was kept safe at the penitentiary. The execution of Junkin tomorrow will be the second legal hanging of a negro in this state in twenty-five years. The last negro who paid the death penalty upon the scaffold in the Btate was Joe Smith', a negro from Buxton, who was hanged on April 20, 10CC, for the murder of his sweetheart. It is a remarkable coincidence

The young and handsome victim, Miss Clara Rosen, was returning, from choir

her ear rings and finger rings. He was caught a short time after the murder when he tried to pawn the rings. The unusual brutality of the crime bad aroused the most intense feeling among tbe citizens of Ottumwa and when it became known that the slayer of the girl had been apprehended, tbe citizens gathered with the Intention of lynching tbe murderer. Only with the greatest difficulty did the authorities succeed in thwarting the plans of the Incensed citizens and in smuggling

TO SAVE THE CHILDREN. Wisconsin Labor Commissioner Makes Recommendations. After carefully Investigating the cases of 6,000 children working tinder permits from tbe state factory Inspector In Wisconsin, J. D. Beck, labor commissioner of tbe state, has issued a .bulletin in which be makes recommendations to the governor. Chief
among these recommendations are the
following:
More vigorous and thorough enforce
ment of tbe truancy law. Extension of industrial education.
A. maximum working day of eight
hours for children.
Requirement of a minimum amount of school attendance before children
are allowed permits to work.
State agents and officers should be
allowed broader discretion in refusing
working permits for children. Employers should be held more strict
ly responsible for the physical and mor
al environment of children who are em
ployed by them.
Tentative bills along the foregoing lines are now in process of preparation at tbe bands of persons and societies
interested in tbe "saving of the cbil tjren." Belgium's Factory Laws.,
Tbe laborer in Belgium is poorly paid and poorly treated. There is lit
tie in his working conditions to com
mend them to American workmen, ex
cept tbe precaution taken to protect
him from needless slaughter in workshops and factories. Belgium has very strict factory In
spection laws. Every employer is supposed to know what is required of
him. if, when an inspector visits the
shop, he finds what be may regard as a wilful failure to provldo proper rafe-
ty about all places where there Is danger the employer U immediately or
