Long, the Con- necticut minister who was thrust into, the nature-faker class by Theodore Roosevelt some few years ago, has been digging in some of Author Roosevelt’s books to discover how Hunter. Roosevelt was impressed by the Bull Moose when he made that. animal's habitat his own. In view of the fact that Candidate Roosevelt has taken the name Bull Moose as the label of his new party, | just what Roosevelt thinks of the bull | moose is interesting. Even if the comparison is painful—and Roosevelt will undoubtedly declare it ‘odious’ —it must stand, for the colonel’s own remarks certainly should be the final | word. In “The Wilderness Hunter’’ Col. | Roosevelt wrote: “The bull moose lives on the pub- lic domain and is a very wasteful feeder. He is of a wandering and flightly disposition. His flesh, more- over, is coarse and stringy; his hide} is thick and of very poor quality. “He frequently shows a clumsy| slowness of apprehension which} amounts to downright stupidity. “Another noticeable characteristic of the bull moose is his inordinate and unchangeable selfishness. Wheth- er roaming in the woods in solitude, or tearing up the earth, or coming headlong to the call, he is thinking first, last and all the time of the safe- ty of his own skin and the fulness of his own stomach. “Further indication of the bull's essential selfishness are found in his frequent abuse and browbeating of all other moose that are smaller than himself. He can not tolerate a rival, but flies into a jealous rage at the first suggestion that there is any oth- er bull moose in the universe.’’ Not such a horribly incorrect defi- nition of the chief of the herd after all, is it?—Kansas City Post. THE PRISON PRINTERY Is the state penitentiary to be con- verted into one vast printing plant large enough to throw all the com- mercial printing houses in the state out of business and put the old-time printer out of a job? The Republican state platform has some such project in view. It calls for a printing plant to publish the text books for the school children in all the public schools of the state. Such a plant would speedily absorb the state printing contract, and would soon handle all the printing of the various state institutions throughout the state. The printers of the state are becom- ing alarmed at the prospect, and are calling upon other branches of Union Labor to come to their aasistance and help to defeat the Republican ticket which is pledged to that sort of a program. Typographical Union No. 8 of St. Louis city has adopted a'set of sting- ing resolutions on the subject and oth- er labor unions will follow suit. The convict printing plant is known to bea pet scheme of Hon. John C. McKinley, the Republican candidate for governor, and it was at his in- stance that the plank was inserted in the Republican platform.—Jefferson City Democrat-Tribune.

By Clyde H, Tavenner. Washington, D. C.—Further evi- dence of how the multi-millionaire woolen trust magnates . “‘protect”’ their employees in return for suffi- cient protection to allow them to overcharge 90,000,000 American con- sumers on every article of clothing |they buy, is revealed in the arrest at Lawrence, Mass., of William M. Wood, head of the Woolen Trust. Mr. Wood is charged with placing dynamite in the homes of his $5, $6 and $7 a week foreign millworkers in an attempt to discredit their cause while they were on a strike last win- ter asa protest against a reduction of wages, Mr. Wood’s arrest is worthy of the attention of every man, woman and child in the country who wears wool- ens. Because of the fact that Mr. Wood and his fellow woolen trust magnates contribute heavily to Re- publican campaign funds, Congress has been in the habit of placing the tariff on woolens high enough to keep out all competition, so that the woolen trust could be free to charge any price they desired, up to the limit of the ability of the people to pay. The result is that Americans are paying from thirty to one huudred per cent more for woolenclothingand blankets than the resident of Great Britain pays. The story of the career of Mr. Wood provides a curious paradox: He is the oppressor of 150,000 miser- able New England textile workers; a few years ago he was one of them. In his youth he felt the sting of hnn- ger himself, but now he is pitiless in his thoughts of his employees. He has grown enormously rich, but de- clares that from $4 to $9 a week is enough for those who labor in his mills. + It is said of many captains of in- dustry that they are ignorant of the conditions of the workmen who earn their fortunes for them; that if they knew the distress of their employees | they would seek to remedy it. Not so with Wood. He knows. Their distress hears. emigrant. He labored in a cotton. mill and died of tuberculosis, a dis-' ease common to cotton and wool spin- ners. The father’s name is believed ‘to have been Alphonse LeHair, or \ LeVair. | When the woolen mill employees, hich are composed of 42 different nationalities, most of whom cannot speak in English, went on a strike the fathers and mothers decided to {send their babes and little children away to friends in other cities in order ‘that they might not suffer from hun- ger during the strike. Mr. Wood’s agents beat the women, and tore the! little ones from their mothers’ arms’ | when the children were about to be’ placed ontrains. Thus did Mr. Wood | “protect’’ his employees. Are the American people willing! to continue to contribute to Mr. Wood; by paying more for shoddy than good, woolen clothing sells for in England? , Or do they want the tariff on woolens | reduced? There is only one day every two years when the consumers have an opportunity to express them- selves on this subject. That day! comes on November 5. | Republicans for Wilson. i Thousands of progressive Republi- | cans will vote for the Democratic) nominee for the Presidency, in the opinion of Rudolph Spreckels of San{ Francisco, close friend of Senator La- | Follette and long prominent in the! Republican party of California. | ‘have given many years of my | time and support to the progressive | Republican cause and to honest effort to eliminate political bosses and bring about the establishment of a just and truly representative government, and shall continue to make that fight with- | in my party; but! feel it my duty to support Gov. Wilson at the coming election, believing it tobe the only| proper course left open for one who is sincerely interested in the estab- lishment of progressive legislation in our nation at the earliest moment. “Today I held a conference with | Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, who stands} out as the foremost figure in this na-| tion asa protector of the lives and} health of our children, and he in- forms me that he is opposed to the election of either President Taft or Theodore Roosevelt, because both failed during their administrations to properly support the fight against the rich manufacturers of harmful foods and drugs.” Roosevelt Overlooks Himself. Mr. Roosevelt declares that Barnes, Penrose and Guggenheim work hand in hand with the big interests. This is all true. How about Mr. Roose- velt himself? It was not at the solicitation of Barnes, Penrose and Guggenheim that. Edward H. Harriman raised a political corruption fund of $260,000. It was at the solicitation of Theodore Roosevelt. It was not Barnes, Pearce and Guggenheim who, according to Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, bucked the Pure Food Law. .That was done by Theo- dore Roosevelt. Speaking of Remark.
