If Congress should adjourn before July 1st the chances for a sanme Fourth would be all off. Now puff, perspire, but praise, don’t konock; be a sport. You've got what you wanted, haven’t you? When thinking over some of the republican dissensions, it may cause some of the old timers considerable worry, but one can find much relief and comfort by thinking of demo- cratic colicky conditions. ‘The balloonists who hit the earth suddenly a few days ago did so be- cause their gas gave out. Congress will soon adjourn; then look out . for some other eminent getlemen who. will hit the earth for the same reason. Joe Gans, once light weight cham- pion of the boxing ring, is fighting his last fight in Arizona. The enemy is consumption and friends say that a knock out is near. Gans has been troubled with the “white plague” for some time and stayed in Baltimore too long. He had his heart set on seeing the Jeffries-)ohnson fight, but was forced to give it up, Like all fighters, his. hard days in the ring have left him; in poor condition to withstand lung troubles. Tong Moon, proprietor of a Chinese laundry in Mankato, was to have been married Saturday to Miss Rosie Lane, a white girl of Water- ville. The license had been bought and the wedding garments made and the minister was ready to tie the knot. i But just before Moon started for the home of the bride, he received a letter saying that all was off and that he should not visit the house again. An express wagon also brought a box containing all' his presents to the bride, Investigation proved that the bride’s father was a traveling man and has been away from home. He knew nothing of the arrangements until Friday, but when he did, things started to happen. If a few more Americandads would have the backbone to stop their daughters from marrying foreigners, it would be better for all parties con- cerned. Congress recently passed the “pork bill” and: a- Washington. dis- patch:says that James Tawney, from the First. Minnesota. district, was) the only man to get two appropria- tions for buildings and sites. This is a tribute to Tawney from the organization and it shows that it is realized that he needs help if he is to be re-elected. It isalso his reward for standing by the organiza- tion in the recent war with. the in- surgents. ’ ‘Tawney saw when he first went to Congress that it payed to be on the inside and. he never stopped until he was in. As chairman of the com- mittee on appropriations, he is one of the most powerful men in Con- gress. The organization needs him back and is willing to go to almost any lengths to help him win his election. The question is, “How long will the people of the First district, or any other district for that matter, accept bribes, such as new build. ings?” For as long as they do, they will keep the organization alive and postpone the day when they can run their own affairs. Peyton Boswell, a Chicago news- paper man, has written a play called “Steel.” The manager of the theatre at Gary refused to allow the play to be produced. after he had read the manuscript. He said ‘“Before 1 would put your sketch on in Gary, I would clase the house. I wouldn’t produce that play for $5,000.” The play is based on the idea broached a few weeks ago before the Senate committee in Washington to the effect that men who have been so badly mangled in the steel mills of Pennsylvania that they would| turn out cripples for life and hence possible charges to the company, are deliberately cloroformed in the steel company’s: hospitals. The charges were made by A. E. Holder, legisla- tive agent of the American Febera tion of Labor. Ina Chicago. railroad ticket of- fice in 1909, a man who had pur- chased a ticket for a lower berth on a Pullman sleeper to Spring- field, Ill., came back to the clerk a short time after the purchase and said he had lost his ticket. He asked that a duplicate be issued or that an order be written to the con- ductor that the loser be entitled to the berth if the ticket did not show up. “Why we can’t do that”, laugh- ed the clerk. «“If you don’t, I’ll get even with the company”, answered the man. “Why", came the reply, ‘‘they all say that, but it don’t do any good, you can’t get even with the Pullman company”, and again he laughed. Little did this clerk believe that his mocking reply would cost the Pullman company and railroads of the country operating’ their own sleeping cars millions of dollars. But this same clerk aroursed. the ire of George S. Loftus, then of St. Paul, and the man in question. When Mr. Loftus said he was go- ing to get even he-meant it and the recent decision of the Interstate Commerce Commission, ordering that sleeping car rates be lowered throughout the entire United States, is the direct result of that little argument over a small piece of lost pasteboard. Mr, Loftus was on his way to Springfield at the time to address the Illinois leg- islature on railroad rates; On his way back to St, Paul a day later he thought out a plan of getting everi. He had always be- lieved the-Pullman rates discrimin- atory. According to James Mana- han, Mr, Loftus’ attorney, the rail- road fighter came into his offiice the same day he got back, propped his feet upon the desk and ordered Mr. Manahan to file a.complaint, charg- ing to high rates against the Pull- man company and the railroads operating their. own sleepers, _ The case is of national import- ance and, though the Pullman company and the railroads have lost decisions on it a number of times, they have- again succeeded in having another hearing from the commission; Recently Mr, Loftus, acting through State Senator B. E. Sund- berg of Minnesota, inaugurated an investigation of the express-trust, Ina complaint filed with the in- terstate Commerce commission:by the senator some startling charges, supported by citation from tariffs and schedules ofithe various ex- press companies, are made: Itis: declared: that- there~is no.. com- petition among the larger express companies, but that" they have combined for the purpose of con- trolling; the express business of the country and = maintaining ex- | cessively. high. rates, < Mr. Loftus says he is not through with the railroads, butthat aslong as he can find discrimination he is going to fight. Many have understood Mr. Loftus to be fighting with.a politi- cal end in view, though this theory. has been laid aside by the years he has fought railroads. He is thirty-six years old and a self-made man. At the age of ten he became messenger boy in the freight oftice of the Minneapolis & St. Louis railroad; In 1897 he went to St, Paul as assistant to W.W, Broughton, then general freight agent of the St. Paul & Duluth road, now general traffic agent of the Great Northern, When the St, Paul & Duluth road was absorbed by the Northern Pacific, Mr. Loftus went into busi- ness for himself. Nothing is too high in the opinion: of the man who has it to sell; but reverse the process and put him in. the ranks of buyers—. If anything is more wicked than a young woman marrying an old man, please don’t mention it. A borrowsd title is more than most men can carry without wobbling in. their gait. Thanks to the housefly. He has had the power to kill the world all these years and has kindly retrained himself. Itch Relieved at Once.

Cause of the Trouble Is the Hughes Amendment: Exempting; Laor Unions From Operation of the Sher- man Anti-Trust.
