Jnpan has now over 1D0 cotton
mills In operation, the number ot
employees being 400,000. The dally
wage ranges from 0 tg 12 cents.
What would happen In this coun
try If the tariff bars were lowered,
as demanded by certain public men
representing sections having few If
any textile Industries, must be obvi
ous. in the words of Representative
McKlnlay, of California, "Tear down
the tariff walls, and you strike a
blow at American industrialism
which is the foundation of our pro
gress as a people."
The strike situation has now
reached a condition that calls for
only a recording of events as they oc
cur. Roth men and manufacturers
have had their sides thoroughly ven
tilated in the papers so that the gen
eral public ought to know now the
exact condition of affairs. We are
glad to announce that the American
Flint Glass Workers Union, who
agreed to stand by the men and pay
them while they hold out, according
to the Independent, are now living
up to this agreement and that the
nien now and hereafter will receive
their weekly benefits. The men are
justly entitled to this, for in leaving
their positions they were to some ex
tent influenced by this promise, and
as they have been faithful to their
part of the agreement it is gratifying
to have them receive this money.
We wish the amount they receive was
double what they are receiving. The
manufacturers seem to take things
philosophically, and show no signs
of worry. Both sides can now settle
down to a clear contemplation of the
possible outcome, and as they realize
the amount of their losses, it may
soften their feelings, steaay their
judgment, and agree to crawl into
the same bed and be content with
their share of the bed clothes. It is
un to. both parties to utilize Time
as a NURSE rather than as an UN
DERTAKER.
The defeat of George W. Aldrldge
for Congress in the Rochester, New
York, district last week attracted
wide attention because that district
is normally Republican by about
10,000, while this time Havens, the
Democratic candidate, was elected
by about C.000. It was a special
election to fill the vacancy caused
by the death of Congressman Per
kins, of the Monroe district.
It won't do for the Democrats to
crow too loudly. It wasn't a parti
san victory. It was a Republican
revolt on a moral issue. Havens is
a clean man, while Ald'ridgo waB a
wretchedly unfit candidate who
forced his own nomination by the
political machine he bossed. The
voters resented his connection with
the Albany graft and the Republi
cans joined the Democrats very
properly to take it out of Aldridge's
hide, and they have done it. Ald
rldge sought vindication at the ex
pense of his party, but the voters re
pudiated the obligation; they pre
ferred a decent Democrat to
tainted Republican. That is all
there is to it; but that's enough.
That election was not a rebuke to
any of the bed-rock Republican
principles. It was simply and sole
ly a popular uprising against an un
desirable candidate and his moth
ods. The same spirit has been man
ifested In otlior Quarters. It Is
notice from the people" that they
cannot bo fooled all the time.
There are as many Republicans in
that district to-day as ever, and the
very fact that they demand that
candidates must bo men of integrity
xvlll add to their majority when next
election takos place.
Cleveland organization upon its
"unfair" list because, it is alleged,
non-union laborers were employed
in tho construction work on its now
grnndstand at Cleveland. A gencr
nl boycott was ordered, It is said,
and members of labor organizations !
were wnrned not to patronize the'
club In any city lu which It plays. I
The manifesto to Mr. Taft takes!
the form of a resolution adopted by '
the Central Trades and Labor j
Union of St. Louis. Just why Iti
should be assumed that Mr. Taft,
being a member In good standing, I
has not secured notice via the gen
eral bulletins and list of "do not
pntronlzo" organizations regularly i
sent out, Is not mnde clear. It I
would seem unnecessary, If not un-i
usual, In a body where tho equality j
of the membership must be taken j
ns an assured fact, that such spec
ial attention should be accorded an
Individual. It cannot bo taken ns
granted that the solicitude of tho St. ,
Louis body is due solely to the de-j
sire to obviate the necessity of fin-
Ing' tho President tho ?5 which Is I
fixed as the penalty for patronizing'
an "unfair" ball team. Mr. Taft
perhaps, if he is as ardent a champ
ion of the sport as he is said to be,
would not begrudge tho loss of even '
this sum for tho ploasure of wit
nessing a really good game. And
perhaps he does not prize at Its
possible worth the card of member
ship he holds In the Steam Shovel
ers' Union. He has not worked at
the trade recently, it is understood,
though at one time he was said to
be somewhat adept in operating a
steam roller.
The significant question, all spec
ulation aside, is: What does union
labor expect to gain by such a pro
ceeding? The leaders in a move
ment of this kind certainly do not
hope to enlist the general public in
a sympathetic boyeptt with any such
far-fetched grievance as the basic
motive. The masses will fail to see
any justification for a proceeding
of this kind, because they are un
able to find any great wrong to be
redressed or any right to be estab
lished.
The whole affair smacks too
much of the puerile and partakes
too much of the methods of the pet
tifogger to be seriously considered.
Organized labor weakens its cause
by listening to and indorsing the
champions of such tactless crusades.
Men and-women ' guard too zeal
ously those matters of personal
liberty and the individual right to
choose how they shall worship, by
by whom and where they shall be
amused, what they shall read and
how they shall vote, to be influenc
ed, coerced or even advised by any
body of men who seek to dictate
because they assume the power, no
matter by what mistaken process
of reasoning.

WHY YOU TALK NONSENSE
YOUR SLEEP.
In a paper on the mechanism and
Interpretation of dreams, read re-.
cently before the neurolgical section
of the Academy of Science, Morton
Prince of Iioston stated Uiat dreams
are in reality psychoses, or types of
delirium, and are characterized by
the samo general symptoms, if one
may speak of symptoms aside from
disease. Mr. Prince said he did not
believe with Freud that every dream
represents the fulfillment of a wish,
but rather that it represents tho un
fulfilmcnt of a wish or the fulfilment
of a fear.
One woman mentioned by him al
ways dreamed that she was sur
rounded by a myriad of cats, and she
would usually awake when they
seemed to be attacking her or when
she was thrown helplessly among
them. Under hypnotic influence It
was found that in early childhood
this woman hnd been greatly fright
ened by a pet cat, which had scratch
ed and bltton her, and that the mem
ory of this occasion, although seem
ingly burled doep in tho jumble of
past experiences, nevertheless had u
certain psychological coloring which
caused it to be resurrected only dur
ing unconscious states.
Such facts, ho said, may explain
In a measure tho curious and ap
parently utterly illogical single words
and -statements coming from the lips
of those in delirium, but it will al
ways bo found that, just as In many
hallucinatory states of tho insano,
the mind is working at a tremendous
rate, much faster than tho organs of
speech can record tho ideas, and
hence what comes to our ears from
tho dreamer is simply a mass of non
sensical words.

But gone unto that school,
Where she no longer needs

bo celebrated by Union and Confed
erate veterans of the Civil war in
Now Orleans In 191C, were propos
ed to the Dlxio warriors at Mobile,
Ala., by the Louisiana delegation of
the Confederates now holding their
reunion. Tho idea met with instant
favor among the veterans, and plans
for tho jubilee will probably be tak
en up with tho Grand Army of the
Republic ns soon ns details can be
worked out. It is tho Idea of the
Louisiana delegation to celebrate the
fifty years of peace during the pro
posed Panama canal exposition
which New Orleans Is planning for
1915.
It is likely that Gen. George W.
Gordcn, of Tennessee, will bo elect
ed the new commander-in-chief of
tho veternna. Commander Evans has
determined to retire, and it has been
practically settled that tho Tcnnes
seean will be his successor. Gen.

tho Tennessee division for several
years.
