Labels Must Tell Truth.
Court Rule "Doctored" Liquon Shall be
Branded "Imitation."
Whisky and other liquors must
have age and natural color or be la
beled "imitation," is the decision
of Judge Humphrey in the United
States District Court at Springfield,
111., in the case of Wollner & Co.,
distillers, of Peoria who asked a
temporary injunction restraining
the Federal authorities from com
pelling a distinction in labels on
whisky a9 to whether it is pure or
,'iraitation." The Court upholds
the regulation of May 5, 1008, un
der which the order for labels on
"imitation" goods Is mad.
The decision will affect distillers
and rectifiers all over the country
and has been eagerly awaited by
manufacturers and shippers of liq
uor. The United States attorney
says rectifiers have been making
the "imitation" product and plac
ing the same upon the market as
the genuine whisky and brandy.

MR. Mr HENRY INVITED TO SPEAK
That the ability and (efficiency of
our Representative 111 Congress,
Hon. John G. McIIenrv. is hisrhlv
appreciated by the leaders of his
party, is revealed in a request of
tue lJemorrnt 10 I .ntinn.il rYmimiftoa
fthat betake the stutnpor the tick
et in rennsvivania and other States
"How much of your valuable time
can you donate for the good of our
cause," writes Hon. John II. At
wood, Chairman of the Speaker's
Bureau, of the National Committee,
"and at what dates and in what
particular States you will prefer to
be assigned."
This is a merited recognition of
the ability and eloquence of Repre
sentative McHenry. It shows that
his work in Congress has command
ed National attention, a fact which
is a just reason for everv citizen of
the District to feel proud. That a
community is measured by the char
acter of its representatives is pro
verbial and Mr. McIIenry's col
leagues in Congress must have had
a flattering opinion of the constitu
ents of John G. McHenry if this
testimonial of the estimate of his
work represents the standard with
which they measured him.
We reeret. somewhat. 10 learn
that Mr. McHenry felt constrained
to decline Mr. Atwood's invitation
to take the stump throughout the
country, for we feel that he would
have accomplished much good for
the cause. His very able speech on
the question of government guaran
ty of deposits delivered at Bedford
Springs, last week, marks him as
among the leaders of thought as
well as the most cogent of reason-
ers. But he feels that all his timp
ought to be given to this district
and all his efforts to his colleagues
within the counties he represents.
WHO ARE PROTECTED?
The steel industry is perhaps the
most heavily protected and certain
ly has produced the largest group
of millionaires of any of the privi
leged group. Here the protection
to American labor fallacy has been
most industriously preached to the
laborine class. Incidents like that
disaster at Homestead ought, how
ever, to show the American laborer
the fraud that is being practiced on
him.
The casualty list published con.
tains names the majority of which,
as in all such butcher's bill, are ob
viously foreign. The probability
is mat most ot these null workers
are aliens, not even expecting to be
naturalized, who have brought their
foreign cheaper methods of living
here and who work for less than an
American can or will or should
work for. The crowds around these
mill gates alter these horrors seek
ing tidincs of friends, are alwavs
overwhelmingly u n-A raerican,
They cannot even speak our tongue.
Ihey are preferred for obvious
reasons in these great industries.
They are easier handled, and less
fuss is made if some get hurt,
tnougti their lower plane of intelli
gence renders them more liab'.e to
injury. The tariff protects the
American manufacturer, but it
doesn't protect the American labor
er from the "pauper" competition
of Europe. If an American wants
to see how protection is protecting
him let him see who are being em
ployed in these mills, and how they
live and where. Let him try now
to get a job at any of them and see
how the foreigner, willing to live
meanly and be treated worse, is
preferred to him. Let him investi
gate the system whereby this cheap
foreign labor mvsteriouslv. and in
spite of laws, responds to demand
in these protected Industries. Then
he will see whom protection is pro
tecting, and why the heads of ths
industries contributes so much to
the Republican campaign funds.

APPEAL TO DEMOCRATS
lor Bryan and Kern Campaign Fund, from
the Democratic National Committee.
To Geo. K. Khvell. Editor of the
Columbian.
There are no secrets in this Cam
paign. Strictly practicing what he
preaches, Mr. B ryan will not win
victory with tainted money paying
the election exjx-nses.
Not a dollar is to be accepted
which requires auy promise, either
express or implied, other than for
HONEST, IMPARTIAL GOV
ERNMENT.
Mr. Jiryan will enter the White
House absolutely free from entang
ling alliances, free to serve all class
es of honest citizens alike, or he,
will not enter at all.
Hence the course is plain. The
campaign of Bryan and Kern must
be conducted by the people.
The people must pav the ncccssa
ry campaign expenses if they want
public servants who will serve their
interests.
Special interests and favored class
es, having secured "SWOLLEN
FORTUNES" bv purchasing fa
vors in the past with MILLIONS
CONTRIBUTED TO CONTROL
ELECTIONS, stand ready to give
MILLIONS MORE FOR CON
TINUED FAVORS. But that
class never gives a dollar unless it
buys a pledge.
Mr. Bryan says from March 4th,
1909. "LET THE PEOPLE
RULE."
This can come only if the people
pay their own bills, and control
thtir own elections.
"BEWARE OF THE TRUSTS

Can't Stir Up Q. 0. P.
Westerner Brings Alarming Report to
Hitchcock.
A note of warning against the
danger of apathy and overconfi
dence was sounded from Republi
can national headquarters in New
York last week. National Chair
man Hitchcock had conferences
there with J. Medill McCormick,
of Chicago, and invited Mr. McCor
mick to give his views of the situa
tion in the Middle West to the
newspaper men.
"After the.Detivcr convention,"
Mr. McCormick said, "it was gen
erally believed that it was all over,
that Bryan had no possible chance
and that Taft's election was a fore
gone conclusion. The result was
that Republicans and business men
in the Middle West did not think
it was necessary to pay very much
attention to the campaign, and
their overconfidenee led to apathy.
"The situation today is one that
will call for much work to make
the Central mid Western States safe
for the Republican national ticket.
The Democrat have been conduct
ing a gumshoe campaign in the
Miedle West. They have managed
it very ably and they are evidently
working harmoniously together."

National Chairman Mack and
heads of the committee bureaus
witnessed a reproduction of the
Bryan Labor day scenes. The pic
tures show the Nebraskan's arrival
at the station and his reception by
the crowd at the hotel. Later he is
disclosed reviewing the big labor
parade and acknowledging the
cheers of the marchers, after which
he is shown making a speech to the
laboring men assembled around the
reviewing point of the parade.
Mission of the Public Library.
It is our business in this country
to get at the best methods to gov
ern ourselves. How many of our
best people have paused to reflect
on what that means, and on all it
means? It means that now we have
about 80,000,000 of sovereigns. It
was all ver,y well when we were a
little confederation of homogeneous
stock stretching along the Atlantic
sea-board. We had our dissensions
then, but our population was per
meated with the principles of our
government. In one hundred years
we have swelled from a handful to
80,000,000, and a large part of them
made up of additions from the na
tions of the earth, aud not the self
governing nations. And the prob
lem is to educate the children of
these, as well as our own children.
in the principles of that government
of which they are an essential and
vital part.
This is the first problem, and if
it is not attended to, our govern
ment will crumble away aud decay
from neglect. We do not want
denizens in this state and this na
tion, we want citizens. We do not
want ward politics, but we do want
government as our forefathers un
derstood it. And it is the duty of
every right-minded citizen to work
unfalteringly for this end. The
question is one of expediency.
We want citizens. And the pub
ic school and the public library are
the places where citizens are made.
Therefore we must labor for and
support these institutions first and
foremost. To a very great extent,
the librarian is the custodian of
public morals and the moulder of
public men.
The librarian must, and he usu
ally- does, feel his responsibility.
The word "responsibility" should
be given equal weight with the
word "liberty" and emblazoned be
side it, and it is these two things
that the public librarian through
his knowledge of good literature
must impress upon our coming gen
erations "liberty and responsibili
ty." Winston Churchill.
