President Wilson ylelded to the dictation of the heads of the Brotherhoods, and made no ef- fort to find out whether the de- mand was right or wrong. He made no effort to find out wheth- er it could be complied with without raising freight rates. He made no effort to find out all the equities in the case; those affect- ing the men, those affecting the stockholders, those affecting the shippers. He took his orders from that one of the parties in interest which he most feared. He insisted that the law be pass- ed without inquiry. And then he deferred the operation of the law until after election, which, of course, could only have been done for political reasons. * * * The question at issue was not that of an eight-hour day at all. The question was whether Presi- dent and Congress should enact a law, without investigation and without knowledge, to give in- creased wages to a certain por- tion of the body of the wage earners. The labor leaders on this issue, without regard to the right or wrong of the matter, first coerced the President, and then with his aid coerced Con- gress. The question at issue was not one of the hours of labor. It was one of wages. And it was settled by the President and Congress without investigation and without knowledge. The set- tlement was due partly to fear, Amd partly to hope of political ‘profit. —From the Speech of Colo- nel Roosevelt at Battle Creek, Michigan, in Behalf of Mr. Hughes. 0000600000080 000000000000060000000600000000000000v00000080 0000000000000 00O poi Tha Tiranmns scm bmn lla 5. ma —-uals Culupiain | pecalise’ i #ome Republican campaign orators pay so much attention to the President. What else has the Democratic panty €o talk about? La AEE EEE EERE RD & WILSON FORMERLY ASSAIL- ED THE LABOR UNION, The President is now a candi- date for office and speaks well of labor. Until he became a can- didate for office, and as long as he was President of a Univer- sity, he, with entire safety, ig- nored or assailed the Labor Unions, indeed, he was then their bitter, ungenerous, and often un- just critic. At the People’s Fo- rum on February 25 1905 he said: “Labor Unions drag the highest man to the level of the lowest.” In an address at a din- ner in the Waldorf-Astoria on March 18, 1907, in speaking of the capitalists, he said: “There is another equally formidable ene- my to equality and betterment of opportunity, and that is the class formed by the labor organiza- tions and leaders of this coun- try.” Im a letter written January 12, 1909, he said: “lI am a fierce Partisan of the open shop.” In June of the same year, speaking at Princeton, he said: “The usual standard of the employe in our day is to give as little as he may for his wages. Labor is stand- ardized by the trades unions and this is the standard to which it is made to conform. | need not point out how economically dis- astrous such a regulation of la- ‘bor is. The labor of America iis rapidly becoming unprofitable under this regulation. Our ‘eco- nomic supremacy may be lost because the country grows more and more full of unprofitable servants.” | have no question that when Nr. Wilson thus spoke he expressed his sincere convic- tions. Less than two years later he was in public life and imme- diately his attitude changed. There is no reason to believe that his convictions changed.—From the Speech of Colonel Roosevelt at Battle Creek, Michigan, in Be- half of Mr. Hughes. hp Ree he Pe BG & ¢ £ dfs oe of fo fo ob oe cB oR PB of oe or Bo of Bo $ 4450090000 RDIRAEE0RE 0000000000000 00040006000008000 2460 fe Boge fe oe oe oe oh Be ob fe Bg ob “President Wilson settled himself in Bis chair.’—News item.

If one hundred and twenty-eight years ago Wash- ington and Jefferson, and the other men who signed the Decla- ration of Independence had felt the same way about patriotism, and the same way about fighting as Mr. Wilson does, we would never have had a country. Had Lincoln feit the sama way, there would ke no such thing as the Ameri , Republic now in exist- ence.—From the Speech of Colo- Roosevelt at Batdle Creek, Behaiff of Mr. nel Micl Hu gan, in 1g 0O000BOLOOOHOLOLOOODOOOODOODOBOHOOOOODLLHBOO 5 0000000000000000 ' 0000000000000 OLO000000000000000000000000000000000009000008@ dei oo de ho oo ol lo de Bo de obo oe clo ol clo obo cle ob de pe THE PANAMA SINGERS.

The Indian days in Panama are portrayed in the origi- THE PANAMA SINGERS.
