M. Js the -system". The National Association of .Manufacturers is merely an alias. National Council for Industrial Defense is another alias. Mulhall, Emery, Van Clove, Kirby its army of olticials and paid agents are but the material manifestations of what has long been described as the ".system". It is -big business", "special privilege", "trusts" and all the rest. N. A. M. happens to be an organized form through which all this is manifested. The system works sometimes through organization and sometimes through Independent agencies. This organized manifestation of the system modestly claims to represent ten "billions of capital and -50 corporations, and to control the means of existence of tivo millions of wage earners. It is the largest single organization of slandpatism. It is business actively engaged in politics and in the Industrial struggle. It is the system's largest individual tool for lighting organized labor, progressive legislation, Ftrikej and everything which makes for humanity and . against dollar Kreed. Various Kinds of Agents. Agents of the system in public life :ro some of them bought outright little cheap bribed weaklings; others nre hired as "attorneys"; others serve the system in serving themselves. They are rich and legislate In their own interest. There are In public life natural renctionaries men like Swagar Sherlev, en. Bacon. Hep. Campbell of Kansas i! nd "en. Hoot who see things natu rally from the tory po.nt of view.1 That they opjpDse an eight-hour law does not necessarily mean that they have had thf hands behind them and have had a ticklirig palm crossed with corrupter's gold. They see life from the standpoint of the specially privileged. They are Bourbons born and bred. They do not understand humanity nor humanity's appeal. They are used to the system. They are natural friends of the system. They nro counted before the ssytem buys the cheap ones to supplement their ranks and insure the system's purj oses. Reliable Standpatters. When Kmery and Mulhall gave a list of those on whom they might rely, they included in the list as a matter of course. Sens. Nelson, Lodge, "Hoot. Gallinger. Hep. Sherley and a lot more of that ort. They knew j these to be on the standpat side for j reasons indicated. Hut the little man. the Jim Watson, and the John J. Gardner and the MePermott from the Chicago stockyards district, are bought with little checks. It is an old trick to buy a man by subscribing to his campaign fund. It was by Fending chocks to help members of the legislature get elected that Fairbanks took his first step into the senate of the United States. a,nd there are scores of others who have done the same. Secy. Schwedtman of N. A. M. admits that form of bribery and f ivs "if that is a crime, we are guilty of It." The exposures in MulhaH's confession are interesting as furnishing details where before only moral certainty existed. The letters, the exact amounts contributed to campaign fun is, and the behind-the-scenes revelation as to how the man was bought are Interesting and enlightening.

TIE FIRE CRACKERS TO COW'S TAIL, BEEF STILL GOING TOWARD OCEAN

NEW YORK, July 5. The high ccst of living Saturday is a thing to marvel at in that section of Brooklyn colloquially known as "New Lots". Beef there Is still going up no, not going up, going east as the result of a Fourth of July Joke. Neighbors whose gardens and clothes lines have suffered all summer at the hands poetic license of Mrs. Harah Litchtenstein's five cows, Friday tied bunches of firecrackers to the caudle appendages of the quintet. The live were too heavy to go up but they went toward the Atlantic ocean at a lively clip and have not since been seen by their irate owner, who applied for warrants for a father and son whom she accused of giving the kine their start. LOBBY FORCED EIGHT-HOUR BILL TO PIGEON-HOLE Senate Committee Hears the

Charge That Congressman

uaraner duomiuea 10 hi. m. M. for Two Years. WASHINGTON, July 5. How Cong. Gardner, of New Jersey, for a time strenuously fough for the adoption of his eight-hour bill, limiting the day's work of government employes and and on all work done for the government by contract, and howGardner, after persuasion by the N. A. M.t lobby, was Induced to pigeonhole his bill for two years, was the charge included in the evidence taken up by the Overman lobby investigating committee Saturday. These alleged facts were nut before the Overman committee in a voluminous letter whih Col. Mulhall, the confessed N. A. M. lobbyist, wrote to John Kirby, jr., then president of the N. A. M. The letter purported to show that Gardner linally reported his eighthour bill out of committee Saturday after Cong. Hughes, of New Jersey, and Itainey, of Illinois, had openly threatened to denounce Gardner on the lloor of the house. Contained in the letter was also a report to Kirby by Mulhall, that Gardner, after a long conference with Mulhall and his aid, Emery, appointed the sub-committee those two men had suggested. Sent Campaign AminuniLcn, Other letters which Mulhall alleges were part of his ten years correspondence with N. A. M. olhcials tend ed to show that the association had sent much campaign ammunition to Mulhall In letters, to be distributed throughout the district of various congressmen unfavorable to the N. A. M.. who were working for re-election. Still other letters tended to show that the N. A. M.'s light against unfavoi -able legislation and opposing legislators had proved "entirely and wholly satisfactory" with one exception. That exception was the appointment of the then representative and now Secretary' of Labor Wilson as chairman of the house labor committee. The appointment of Wilson to that chairmanship was called a "drawback to tho interests of the N. A. M.". but the letter went on to say that the other members of the committee, In the main, were friendly to the N. A. M. HERS SHOPS I!

The rioting gold miners continued their depredations here Saturday by rob bing all the gun shops in the town, supplying themselves with rilles, pis- j tols and ammunition. j Several men were killed and To wounded in tho lighting during the j night anil early morning. i Karly in the evening the strikers at- i tempted to hold a meeting in the mar- j ket place. The police broke it up 1 and that started the trouble. The j ) miners struck several days ago, but ! j were quiet until Friday. After their j iTTfferences with the police, they ran ; riot through the town. A newspaper1 ollice and several other buildings were ' burned and all railway trains were : held up and prevented leaving the j stations. I In desperation the Johannesburg authorities called out the troops and cavalry charged the strikers again and again, riding down many of them. In several instances the police shot into the mob. It is said the strike leaders deplore the violence and have done all they can to quiet them, but to no purpose. Early Saturday the police got the upper hand for a time and tried to j move the southern mails. but the strikers rallied and burned the station. XITW PASTOU Wllili ARUIVi:. Rev. D.

WOULD LET THE SUFFRAGETS Famous Tenor Visiting in South Bend, Says British Like the Petticoat Rule . of Queen Mary. BY 3LIIC;.III-7T TOBIX. The world dees move, even in merry England, and to prove it let me present to you an interesting specimen of the modern Englishman, Charles Saunders, of London, who has had the honor of singing for their majesties, the king and queen. aid Englishman is jolly and fat, built upon the same generous lines as our latest ex-president, and indeed he looks enough like him to be his twin. Now, whoever dreamed of an Englishman like that? Mr. Saunders, who is a famous English tenor, happened into outh Hend on the Fourth of July. He is .spending a little vacation traveling in "the States", and while here lie was a guest at the home of his cousin. Dr. Alta Boram. It was there that I met him and chatted awhile about the things that are doing across the pond. Mr. Saunders left Saturday af ternoon to visit other relatives near The Englishman was both puzzled and surprised at the brave array of stars and stripes that greeted him on his arrival. But his hostess explained that we did it every year to express our pleasure at being rid of King George. "Well, now," said he, good-humor-edly, and with an indulgent smile at our childishness, "if I had known there would be such a demonstration I should have brought along a Union Jack to carry through the streets." There wasn't a bit of the Tory venom a Britisher is supposed to have when our Independence day is mentioned. Then he fell to gossiping of England's "Who's ho", and another of my illusions about Englishmen dropped away. Their much advertised reverence for blue blood and position was charmingly absent. No Yankee could take peers and peeresses less seriously or hit off their shortcomings with cleverer comment. "It was a sad day for us when King Teddy died," said he; "he was a good old scout and a gentleman, every inch of him." "He isn't dead yet," I started to say, and I wondered what difference it made to England anyway. Then I "got wise". Do you? Why, King Edward, of course. Mary is the Boss. "We've got petticoat rule now," said he with a sigh. But he wasn't complaining. Mary is a good woman, he says, and if George is satistied, England is. Then he gave me his opinion of the political leaders. Premier Asquith is an "old woman", and Lloyd George Is a shrewd politician, with his own game to play. Sounds like things we say ourselves sometimes, doesn't it? He talked of gay peeresses and impecunious old peers, who like as not hadn't paid for the clothes on their back. Then he told a story of Beerbohm Tree, who was recently knighted. "Well," said Tree. "Maude" that's his wife "will be a lady at last." And we though that an Englishman couldn't joke. Mr. Saunders has had plenty of opportunity to study royalty at close range. He has seen crowns placed upon two pairs of royal heads. He sang at the coronation of Edward and Alexandria and again at the coronation of Georgo and Mary. Took Pictures of Coronation. He told of a trick that he turned at the last coronation that would do credit to America's best yellow journalist. He was one of the great choir of singers that took part in the ceremony. Cameras were forbidden within Westminster Abbey, but he slipped one in under his surplice and with its lens slyly projecting, snapped away. It is" as a singer of sacred music that Mr. Saunders is best known In England. He was for three years solo tenor in her majesty, Queen Victoria's (CONTINUED ON PAGE NINE.) The Sign

Says a South Bend Veteran of Great Reunion at Gettysburg

Two of the first men to return from the Gettyysburg celebration were John Penrod and Julius Waldschmidt, both members of the 2 0th Indiana, which took part in the famous battle in the Peach Orchard, .0 years ago. The two men returned from the reunion of the blue and gray Friday night. "It was the greatest sight I ever witnessed," said Mr. Penrod in telling of his experiences. "The chances are that nothing like it will ever be held again. There will not be the soldiers left to attend another one in this country and the foreign countries have ona." Mr. Penrod arrived in Gettysburg Sunday night and went over to the tent city where the Indiana veterans lived. Monday was spent in going over the ground where the fighting of a half century ago took place. Visits to Little and Big Hound Top, Devil's Den, the Peach Orchard and all of the other places of note were made. "When I saw that old stone fence where the 20th Indiana fought, it took me back just 50 years.. All of the places to which I went while I was in Gettysburg were just as natural as they were when we went there on July 1, 1S63. The only difference as far as I could see was that there is more shrubbery there now. Wednesday I went over to see the Johnnies, who were camped on the same spot they were when we fought. I looked all over the rebel camp and finally came to the Third Georgia. That was the regiment I fought against. It seemed like every light my regiment went into we met the Third Georgia. "I didn't remember the faces of any of the men, but all of them I talked to were just as friendly- as any of the Yanks." PRESIDENT IN VERMONT TO REST FOR WEEK-END WINDSOR, Vt., July .'.Pres. Wilson arrived here at 10:7.0 Saturday. He was met at the station by members of his family and started at once by j automobile for his summer home at Cornish, three miles away. The president said, he intended to take a complete rest while at CoriMsh and will see no newspaper men. If public business should warrant it, however, the president said he would start back to Washington immediately

PEACE WAVED BY FLAGS AT GETTYSBURG GETTYSBURG, Pa., July 5." Peace on Earth. Good Will to Men", laboriously spelled out from the rocks of Little Round Top, by Sergt. Marcey of Boston, was answered back with "Glory to God in the Highest", from a flag in the hands of Lieut. Round of Virginia, on the summit of Seminary Ridge Saturday. It was the last message of the allied camps, where for more than a week 50,000 veterans of the war between the states have teen fighting over the ancient struggles and honoring the dead at Gettysburg. Immediately after breakfast Saturday, 100 veterans of the signal corps of the Union and Confederate armies left their tents. They carried their "talking flags" and taking positions on the two mounds, which command a view of the entire battlefield, began their signalling. After personal greetings, Marcey wig-wagged out Grant's immortal words, "Let us have peace". Tianslation of it brought cheering which increased when Round signalled Lee's famous declaration, "Duty, the sublimest word in our language." At the end of an hour, the signal corps veterans departed to their tenls. Hard to Get Away. It was much harder getting away from the Gettysburg battle field Saturday than it was for either of the north or the south hal? a century ago. By order of Maj. Normoyle, even cne of the regular army soliiers who could be spared, was on duty at the tracks seeing that the veterans got the right train and that none was injured in the confusion. While it has been officially announced that the last meal to be serxed in the camp would be breakfast Sunday morning, this, it Is explained, means the last meal prepared by the hired cooks. The regular army cooks will take care of all veterans until they can get a train for home. Blankets have been collected from all the vacant tents and the work of breakins camp is well und;r way.
