fie a "Good Fellow"

The generally accepted definition of the title, "good fellow" Is a dissipated, happy-go-lucky spendthrift, but in Chicago they have removed the disgrace from the title and a "good fellow" in that metropolis is one who lives cleanly for the pure joy of living and who helps his less fortunate brother to obtain the same pleasure out of existence. Richmond has work to do for Its right kind of "good fellows." Winter Is at our threshold and it will be an unwelcome guest to scores of poor families. Every "good fellow" will heed the request for financial assistance, made by the Associated Charities, and will take some of that pocket change ho has been accustomed to spend on himself and turn it into the Charities fund, which is to be used to brighten the eyes of hopeless fathers, to bring the color back to the cheeks of discouraged mothers and check the sobs of suffering children bytthe purchase of fuel, food and clothing for worthy people to whom Fate has been less kind than it haB been to ourselves. Come on, "be a good fellow." To buy a dollar's worth of coal for a family whose stove is a hideous mockery will give you more pleasure than to buy a diamond ring for your best girl.

What Beveridge Did. Albert J. Beveridge today issued a statement In which he congratulated the Progressives of Indiana for their great moral victory at the polls last week. The showing made in Indiana by a political party in its swaddling clothes truly was a remarkable one and like Nelson's seamen, every man who fought in its ranks "did his duty" and deserves individual praise, but tho lion's share of the credit must be given Mr. Beveridge. Under his splendid leadership and tireless devotion to a cause which stands for the best interests of American citizenship the old Republican machine, which so long dominated and disgraced this free Btate, has been completely demolished and the Progressive party has taken second place in the list of political organizations in Indiana. It is now in a stragetic position where it can prepare itself for the next great campaign, the object of which will be the destruction of Taggart's Democratic machine. The Progressive party cannot die, for any cause which stands for the welfare of a people is eternal. Mr. Beveridge'B statement follows: TO THE PROGRESSIVES OF INDIANA: As your standard bearer in this state in the campaign just ended, I heartily congratulate you on the big work you did and the great moral victory you won. You have founded a party, and in a short three months have made it the second party, In votes actually cast. And you have sown the seeds which are sure to yield a harvest of additional votes at coming elections. For you have founded your party on sound principles that apply to fundamental present-day conditions. The Progressive party is the party of the future. Thousands upon thousands of men who last Tuesday cast their ballots for one of the two old parties will be with us in coming elections, and in ever increasing numbero. Most of those who voted the Republican ticket did so as a matter of party regularity. Most of those who voted the Democratic ticket did so for tho same reason; others did so because they wanted to rebuke the decadence of the Republican party and felt that they could do this best by voting for Mr. Wilson; still others did so because, hoping against hope, they felt that the Democratic party should be given one more chance. On the other hand, every Progressive ballot stood for conviction. Every Progressive vote was the result of thought bo clear and opinion so strong that it cut party ties, broke the spell of party names, Cast off the yoke of party organizations. So the notable Progressive vote is a vital vote. Tho Progressive party has the strength of a living faith. It is a united, coherent political force. The Democratic party and what is left of the Republican party are made up of groups of men with different beliefs, different purposes, different hopes. Both these old parties are political patchworks. Each is a house divided against itself. But, of the Progressive party, it may be said in the words of our battie song, that "We are not divided all one body we." And we are this because every one of us believe that the great and vital reforms which the Progressive party stands for are the true answers to those grave questions which face the American people, and upon the correct answer to which hangs the fate of the nation. Neither of the old parties caH give the country these reforms because, as parties, they do not believe in our reforms; and because, also, each party is divided against itself as to what reforms, if any, are needed. So it is plain that the party that you have founded is the one party to which tho people can look for the realization of their hopes. It has been a pleasure to me far greater than election to any office could bestow, to fight the clean fight that we have fought for the good cause for which we battle; and, if possible, It has been even a greater pleasure to make this fight shoulder to shoulder with men like yourselves, whose hearts are moved by a great conviction and uplifted by a noble purpose. And now, as comrades In arms, let as all move forward in a solid body toward the sure victory that is before us. It is certain that we shall gather multitudes of recruits on our march. Without malice or bitterness in our hearts, not weighed down by hatred or prejudice, but with that good will toward men for which the Progressive party stands, let all Progressives in Indiana become missionar-' ies preaching the Progressive gospel to our fellow men. Let every Progressive carry our platform in his pocket; that platform is Its own unanswerable argument. And let every Progressive show his neighbors and friends who did not vote with us at the last election just what that platform is, just what the Progressive party is here to do. Let every Progressive tell all whom he can reach the reason for the faith that is in us. Thus will our strong, young party, which has sprung clean and fresh from the hearts of a righteous people, surely prevail; and by prevailing advance the common good. ALBERT J. BEVERIDGE.

LABOR INJURED BY M'tlAMARH CRIME ? -I Says Samuel Gompers, in Address Before National Labor Body Today.

(National Kers Association) ROCHESTER, N. Y., Nov. 11. In his annual address to the American Federation of Labor which opened its convention here today, President Samuel Gompers stated that if it had not been for the blowing up of the Los Angeles Times by the McNamara brothers and Ortie McManigal the metal trades unions would have won their strike for an eight hour day which was in progress at the time of the dynamiting. "It is generally conceded" said Mr. Gompers, "by those who were on the ground that our ight for the shortest SAMUEL GOMPERS. work day would have been won, had it not been for the deplorable calamity in connection with the destruction of the Los Angeles Times building. Even with this handicap after the nublie declaration of Labor's position and attitude toward the alleged crime, there was still a chance of winning, up to the time when the guilt of the McNamaras was established by their confession. Then it was recognized that there was no chance of winning the strike, or persuading the employers to make concessions. For the purpose of holding Los Angeles organizations together, in the latter part of February, 1912, a conference was held by the California Metal Trades Association and the representatives of the Metal Trades, and a resolution officially declaring the strike off was endorsed by all parties concerned." This was the only time that President Gompers made any direct reference to the McNamara affair or any other things that are of vital concern to organized labor such as, the trial of the forty-five alleged dynamiters which is now in progress in Indianapolls and which involves the leaders of the International Association of Bridge and . Structural Iron workers, an organization that is one of the chief component parts of the Federation. Condemns Steel Trust. He did. however, point out the things the Federation had done in aid of the unions which are engaged in iron and steel work, and added that, "owing to events and incidents which cannot be recorded here at this time, a visible decline in the power of the iron and steel worker's organization ensued particularly where the membership had been employed by the great steel corporations." He condmned the United States Steel Corporation for Its determination in maintaining an open shop. Mr. Gompers' address was followed by a report submitted by Secretary Morrison. The report says in part: "Fellow-Unionists I have the honor to submit a report to you of the receipts and expenditures for the past twelve (12) months, beginning Octo ber 1, 1911, and ending September 30, 1912. "It is with satisfaction that I report 1 at the close of this fiscal year $119,473.93 in the treasury. Of the amount on hand $85,663.27 is in the defense fund for the local trade and federal labor unions and can be used to pay benefits only in the case of a strike or lockout of the members of these local unions. The balance $33,810.66 is in the general fund. Of that fund only $11,461.34 is available for the general expenses of the American Federation of Labor. The balance, $22,349.32 is divided as follows: In the fund created by the one-cent assessment levied in accordance with the recommendation of the Norfolk Convention and the receipts from the appeals Issued for the same purpose, i. e. to be used for the legal defense of the officers of the American Federation of Labor and officers and members of affiliated un ions in the injunction suit $9,727.93. In the fund created by the two-cent assessment levied to take an appeal from the decision rendered against the United Hatters in favor of Loewe & Company, $12,621.39. "The total receipts from all sources are $207,373.60. the total expenses are $277,479.25, which makes an excess of expenditures over receipts of $70,105.63." The total amount of death benefits paid by International organizations last year was $1,649,184.03. The death benefits paid to members' wives was $56,550, while the total sick benefits for the fiscal year was $793,255.61. Old age pensions for the fiscal year were $176,319.67. Under the heading of general expenses, a disbursement of $183,361.51 was shown In the report. In addition

e"'4'' F W is- f

a fund of $67,455.33 was shown to have been expended for the defense of local trade and federal labor unions. The report further stated that during the past year there had been 716 strikes among the various unions belonging to the Federation. These strikes involved 73,069 people and imposed a monetary burden upon the members of the Federation of $2,143.153. With reference to these strikes the report read: "When members of organized labor are fighting for a principle or for justice, they do not count the cost they do not consider the coBt: they wage the fight as long as they have a cent to put Into It, and as much longer, at great sacrifice and hardship, as may be necessary, and they regard the issue at stake as well worth the struggle. "The strike is never pictured as a boon by trade unions." continued the report. "It is not a boon, except in the sense that the right to strike is the difference between free labor and slave labor. When we point to what the strike has done in the march of progress of labor, we do not hold it up as a boon: when we cite that in the history of labor the strike has been the most formidable and powerful weapon In achieving Its successes, we are not holding it up as something to be desired, but merely stating a fact. "Strikes are hardships; at times they are very great hardships, but labor has had to endure them to secure recognition and improved conditions. Even though strikes fail to bring about all the desired reforms this year, or next year, or the year after, this would not convince wage workers that the strike is without force and should be abandoned as a means of protest. Organized labor will. I am sure, reserve for itself the privilege of exerciBing its own discretion as to the wisdom of a strike when employers of labor refuse to consider any other argument upon the justice of their demands."

It Is a matrix supporting various groups of definite mlcro-oganlsms, and the investigations of the past few years indicate the possibility of determining by bacteriological diagnoses the crop produciug capacities of different soils.

Quiok te Use Their Knives In Quarrels Among Themselves. One of the things to attract the notice of every traveler that visits Spain is that strange race which be finds scattered here and there In small groups in the remote rural districts or near the great centers of population. It presents a type that can be mistaken for no other in the Spanish dominions. The lips thick, the eyes large, black and piercing; the hair long, black and straight; the complexion olive tinted, the Spanish gypsy, whether encamped in a sheltering ravine or under the arches of an aqueduct or in the shadow of an overhanging cliff, is Indeed Spanish because born In Spain, but In all else he is a gypsy. Time was when Spaniards of the true blue blood called gypsies "New Castilians." or "Egyptians," or "Moor ish footpads;" but, while their traits have undergone no change, their name is now definitely gitnnos. or gypsies. Between 50,000 and 60,000 is the number now in Spain. Most of them have no fixed abode, but in some parts, and notably in Andalusia, there are several small settlements, for towns they can hardly be called, where these wanderers have taken possession of caves In the mountain side, whence they sally forth to tell fortunes and to filch. Wherever they are they are Inclined to be quarrelsome among themselves and to enforce their arguments by means of wicked looking knives, which they wield with great dexteritv America. & Dyeing Co.
