Tricky Jim

There is Just one strange feature connected with the exposure of James 8choolcraft Sherman as an insolent trickster of his party chief, his party and the people of his state. That surprising feature is that any body should be surprised. - t We are Informed that President Taft, much aggrieved, has determined to repudiate Vice President Sherman because of his trickery at the meeting of the New York Republican state committee .last Tuesday, whereby Ward, Woodruff, Barnes,' Wadsworth and their allied petty bosses succeeded In having a motl)n adopted naming Sherman as the . temporary chairman of the Republican stato convention In place of Mr. Roosevelt . - ' This repudiation is highly commendable if . permanent. But we restrain our enthusiasm while we wonder whether the repudiation of the man guilty of an affront such as no previous president ever suffered is to . be as short lived and as speedily recanted as the solemnly farcical "elimination" of Aldrich, Balllnger and Cannon a fortnight ago. Of course, there can be no two opinions about the Impudent chicanery of 8herman, who suppressed a telegram from the president, ignored , his chief's orders and thereby identified Mr. Taft with the corrupt state machine's attacks upon Roosevelt, Hughes, political sanity and civic decency. But why should the exposure of such conduct' by "Jim Sherman stir the wrath of such "regular" admirers of Aldrich, Cannon and Taft to such a pitch as is exemplified by this utterance of the New York Evening Mall: ' . Not merely accused but convicted by the facts as marplots in a conspiracy more desperate and despicable than anything ever attempted in the Republican politics of this state since the forged Robertson proxy scandal in the Folger convention of 1882. That, too, was an audacious piece of misrepresentation and fraud, and, like Its recent counterpart, its very audacity was the basis of its temporary success. . Who would have believed, for Instance, that a deliberately planned scheme was evolved at a midnight conference to embroil in antagonism the president of the United States and his predecessor, and that a vice president of the Unite! States coul-1 bo Induced to identify himself with it not merely passively, but actively? Why this belated reprobation of a thoroughly consistent performance of Mr. Sherman? Two years Is too short a time to excuse forgetfulness of the fact that when the "allies" in the Chicago convention of 1908 pass- , ed the word around that "the business Interests of the east" wanted Jim Sherman on the ticket with Taft, it was none other than Joe Cannon who stood forward and declared to the convention: "If ever the contingency should arise, which God forbid, that he should be called to supplant the president, there is no man I would trust more to fulfill all the duties of that high office than James S. Sherman." Whereupon the well-informed and right-thinking voters of the country betook themselves to studying the career of Sherman. Acquainted with his record and reputation, they stood aghast at what the convention had done.' But for that very reason they are not surprised at the latest performance of their vice president. The accusation was made openly then that Sherman's nomination was not only a sop to Wall street and the trusts, but had been approved by Taft's relatives and managers as a guarantee of the latter's future attitude toward the special Interests. This, of course, was indignantly denied by the friends of Mr. Taft. And doubtless the Indictment was false so far as Mr. Taft personally was aware. But it was significant of the conception of Sherman prevailing in the minds of all men In touch with public affairs. Why should not Sherman do daring this August what he. has been doing all his life? He served twenty years in congress, and in all that time it is not of record that he ever exerted himself to effect a single measure of reform or raised his voice against a program of legislation framed in the interest of the predatory combinations. They called him "Sunny Jim" in Washington. But he had won other nicknames that were not exactly terms ' of endearment. lie was also "Short-weight Jim," because as the owner of a cannery he killed the clause In the pure food law which would have compelled the honest labeling of packages of food products with their real weights and measures. "Short-weight Jim's" views of Big Business and little business were ,well Illustrated by his declaration in that debate that: "I take it that It is not the desire of this committee to change trade conditions, to Impose upon those who have been Interested in a particular line of Industry for .decades a provision which is onerous. Certainly it ' is not the desire of this committee to so legislate." Philadelphia North American.

IN HISTORY"

Items Gathered In From Far and Near

Nkaraguan Policy Vindicated. From the New York Tribune. The decisive incidents of the last few dvi In Nicaragua should and probably will give that country relief from the destructive strife which has long been ravaging and impoverishing it They certainly afford a gratifying but by no means unexpected vindication of both the practical shrewdness and the. Justice of the policy to ward that unhappy conflict which has been pursued, amid no- little carping criticism by our state department It was said that our government was partial toward the revolutionists and that in . being so it was "betting on the wrong horse." since Dr. Madriz had the great mass of Che people on his side and was sure to win. In fact our government . waa neutral and impartial, but had It pursued the course which was falsely imputed to It it would have been backing not the loser, but the winner.' Assuredly, it was well that it did not associate itself with the cause of the man - whom events now prove to have had little real strength and not to have been the choice of the Nicaraguan people. The pretense that the revolutionists were strong' only on the coast under the guns of our ships waa manifestly false, since they have won their decisive victories far inland. They could not have taken Managua had the mass of , the people been opposed to them. ....... Not Enough Feresi Guards. From the New York Sun. ' It is an almost hopeless undertaking to check such forest fires as are now devastating extensive districts in Idaho and Montana. Although the government patrols are engaged in the work and are strongly reinforced by every available soldier of the regular army and by state wardens and by bodies of men in the employ of the lumber and railroad companies, many lives have been lost and property of an enormous value, including whole towns, has been destroyed. The cost of standing timber is so high that the total loss in forest tracts alone must be in the millions. Having surveyed the ruin and counted tho cost, the American people will be Justified in asking whether enough attention has been paid to conservation by providing a sufficient force of guards, patrols laborers and fire fighters in the national domain. In Behalf of Purity. From the Boston Herald. Mayor Fitzgerald has done well to let it be known that advertisers and promoters of amusements in the city will find their licenses during the coming year contingent on a disposition to do away with the obscene and indecent Society is entirely justified in taking this attitude toward a corrupting tendency which imperils personal and family health and social morality, whenever it appears; and it is just as well to define a policy at the beginning of the season which will conform to law and to such public opinion as is worth regarding. .Richmond Girls. From the Richmond Times-Dispatch. "Hobble" or no "hobble," the women of Richmond look well in anything and they are so quick on their feet that it would be worth coming miles to see how gracefully they can get about with their gowns gathered near the bottom of the skirt Rivalry. From the Oklahoman. . Guthrie and Oklahoma City are likely to become about as friendly aa St Paul and Minneapolis used to be. Washington Star. Why.fuiure tense in the one and past tense in the other? And who and what is Guthrie? Also where? " Will Call for Help. From the Buffalo Express. If the old guard remains in control, it will be begging Theodore Roosevelt for a speech or two within a week after the convention has adjourned. "YOUR CANCER CURE A MARVEL v "Care Is Qatlefc.

NEWS FROM THE

Hoisting engineers st Davenport, Iowa, recently formed a union. -The membership of tbe Western Federation of Miners is now seventy thousand. A campaign will shortly be started to organise the tobacco workers of the Dominion of Canada. A new union of jewelry workers to be affiliated with the international, was recently formed at Providence, R, I. v i In spite of last year's depressions in Austria the railwaymen's union In that country has increased its membership from 58,0000 to 62,000. Men employed in the pipe fitting shops of San Francisco, Cal., have had several meetings of late and have decided to organize into- a labor union. . Returns from firms employing 123,000 work people ha the cotton industry of Great Britain show a decrease of 8 per cent in wages paid as compared with a year ago. The labor party of Arizona has applied to the department of labor at Ottawa, Ontario,' for copies of the labor laws of Canada, as a guide in the amendment of the constitution of the state. Tbe Oaklyand. Cal., "board of public works has let a contract for the construction of a police telegraph and fire alarm building, to cost $44,794 with tbe proviso that only Oakland union labor men be employed in tbe work. V'".,'.. ;V::: In answer to the appeal Issued by the American Federation of Labor on behalf of the Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel Workers, a-sum of more than 838,000 was realized from January ? to May 21, of this year inclusive. , With the determination of calling out all union men connected with the building operations in Stockton, Cal., tbe lumber handlers and team drivers of that city have gone on strike. They expect to win victory by making the tie-up complete. 1 ; As a result of the loss of their time earned toward pensions from the company in the recent strike on tte Grand Trunk railroad, the members of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen and Conductors on the line have started a pension fund of their own. It has been decided by the ution bod carriers at San Francisco, Cal., to enforce the resolution adopted at the Monterey state building trade council convention that the eight-hour day should obtain for all hodcarriers. The men are now working eight and a half hours a day. A new labor party for the city of New York, taking in all its boroughs, has been formed. It is the first municipal labor party to be formed since the Henry George campaign of 1S86, when the old united labor party existed and Manhattan was known as the city of New York and Brooklyn was a separate city. , By unanimous vote the delegates to the International Typographical union changed the pension laws of the organization so that a union printer, who has been in good standing for twenty years and becomes disabled, may draw $4 a week benefit. This takes care of disabled printers who could not get into the Union Printers' Home until they reach the age limit of 60 years. Under the rule, if a man becomes disabled before reaching the age limit he will receive a pension. ' ,

UNION LABOR WINS. After makiuK siren uuus war on organized labor for four years, and Invoking tbe aid of tbe federal courts In Its efforts ' to overthrow ' tbe movement through tbe writ of injunction and prison sentences against some of the chief officials of the movement, tbe Bucks Stove and Range company of St. Louis has made a complete surrender to tbe unions, and declared its purpose to grant their demand in future. The plant of tbe company, under tbe agreement which has been reached, will be thoroughly unionized, and all cause: of contention will be immediately removed. Tbe agreement between labor representatives and the company was reach' ed In tbe Cincinnati office of the International Moiders' uUon " a short time ago and was !gncd by William H. Crlbben nnd Thomas J. Hogan of Chicago, representing the Bucks Stove and Range company and the Stove Founders National Defense association, and by tbe officers of tbe several unions Involved- - This battle between employer and employee, which has now passed Into history, began In the fall of 1006 In the great store works of the Bucks Stove and Range company in St. Louis. Tbe metal polishers demanded a olne hour day instead of the ten buur day which tbey then bad. President Van Cleave refused to listed to the polishers.vand the stove concern was placed on tbe "unfair list in the publications of organized labor throughout the country. President Van Cleave took the matter Into tbe courts on tbe ground that tbe American federation's unfair" lisi constituted a boycott and secured tbe decision. " r;' . In tbe meantime Mr. Van Cleave was elected to the presidency of the National Association of Manufacturers, an organization whose chief purpose Is resistance to tbe demands of labor. Then iu tbe Christmas holidays of 1003 came tbe decision of Judge D. Thew Wright, formerly of Cincinnati, which sentenced Samuel Compere to jail for one year. John Mitchell, vice president of tbe federation, for nine months and Frank Morrison, its secretary, for six months. Tbe sentence was pronouueed because the federation officials bad not heeded the judge's Injunction to cease naming the Bucks company Jn tbe unfair list. Tbe labor officials Immediately appealed to tbe supreme court, which will render Its decision In October. Tbe appeal from tbe contempt proceedings and tbe Jail sentences pending in the supreme court of the United States will not be affected by the agreement, except to tbe extent that the attorneys for the Bucks 8tove snd Range company will no longer figure in tbe case. That has become a government case and Its management Is In tbe bands of the attorney general of the United States. The agreement which has ended this controversy is of the greatest importance to organized labor. The controversy Itself, in its nature, tbe persistency -with whlcb It was carried on and tbe : consequences Involved, was tbe most considerable snd far reaching tbe labor movement bas ever engaged in. And Its sdjustment on the terms demanded by the adherents of that movement is the most signal and significant triumph tbey have ever won. In effect, it proclaims and emphasizes the fact that, after exhausting ail its resources la sn unholy cruside against tbe tollers of the -land, and securing many - temporary advantages through the aid of a subservient and biased Judiciary, the Backs Stove and Range company, with "the National Association of Manufacturers behind it. has been compelled to confess Itself beaten and accede to everything it has been fighting against. The outcome is another striking proof that the claims of organised labor are righteous, and that the American people acknowledge they are. when left to consider them apart from personal interests and embittered partisan feelings. ; Score one, and a large oae, for lastice. freedom and equal rlghts!Miaaaseca Union Advo-

The affiliation between tbe Ameri can Federation of Labor and the farmers union has been a favorite project of Samuel GomperH. president of t be American Federation of Labor, and the adoption of tbe resolution followed a four day conference between Mr Gompers. assisted by several labor leaders, and tbe farmers' committee. . Tbe resolution is as follows: "As far as tbe constitution and charter Of the farmers' union permit, we pledge to our fellow workers in industrial pursuits our best efforts to the end that their rights and liberties, with our own, shall be preserved, v -Our officers are authorized and directed to confer with the officers of bona dde organized labor organizations to this end. - "We pledge ourselves to give preference to the products of tbe industrial workers who manifest their 'intelligence to protect themselves by organization and urge reciprocal purchase of products of union farmers.
