If I were you I would do every-
tning i was asKed to do. That Is
tho way to get on In life. Did you
ever hear It said that ho who takes
care to do no more than he Is paid
ior will never be paid for moro than
lie does. Go right In and do every
thing, from sunrise to sunset, and
you will go right up. Mayor Gay
nor. AVILL THIS LESSON IJE HEEDED?
Organized labor was not on trial
in tho Indianapolis dynamiting cases.
Forty individuals were on trial, and
the jury has found thirty-eight of
them guilty of tho crime charged
against them, which crime was far
less heinous than their real offense.
A great, an overwhelming major
ity of all the members of labor or
ganizations are law-abiding citizens
as good citizens as can be found
anywhere in the country. But they
have made a fetich of unionism.
While sharing In tho benefits, they
have shouldered little 'responsibility
for the management of affairs. The
control of unions has been drifting
Into the hands of labor demagogues,
and when the demagogue Is Intrust
ed with power he always becomes a
tyrant.
The men responsible for all these
dynamite outrages made their living
out of the unions. They were the
parasites of organized labor and
were concerned chiefly in keeping
themselves In office. Tho power of
the union was their Individual pow
er, and they hesitated at no crime to
maintain it or extend it. No man's
life or property was safe if it stood
in their way.
Tills criminal conspiracy carried
on Its reign of terror year after year,
and every outrage which it commit
ted was not only a crime in itself,
but it was a form of criminal black
mail levied upon all other employ
ers. It was the labor demagogues'
warning that surrender must bo un
conditional. It was not tho .fault of bonest
union men that these criminals mur
dered and destroyed, but it was the
lault of honest union men that such
criminals attained and held auto-
w.iatu; iJuww in juuur organizations.
Tho lesson of this verdict is a lesson
tbat honest union men must heed.
Otherwise, all the inestimable good
of organized labor will bo over
whelmed with the evil.
This country Is weary of organized
crime, Whether It is committed by
captains of industry or by captains
or toll. The patience of a -patient
people Is well nigh exhausted. If
the decent majority will not as
sume control of the affairs of trades
I Unionism, thpn froml nnil Vinrl gllln
must suffer tho consequences.
There can bo no compromise on
this Issue. New York World.
THE SPEAKERSHIP.
Friends of Representative Geo. E.
Alter of the Twelfth district of Alle
gheny county aro supporting him for
speaker of the Housa at Harrisburg
Tor a variety of good and sufficient
reasons. They commend him to the
people and to the favorable consider
ation of his fellow .members as ex
emplifying the best type of state leg
islator. They believe that all kinds
of Republicans can turn to him with
the assurance that they will be en
tirely safo in sinking factional dif
iferences and uniting on him as a
step toward restoring Republicanism
in Pennsylvania to its former mili
tancy. Mr. Alter's candidacy Is not set
upon narrow foundations or pres
criptive purposes. While it is urged
upon positive grounds It is not es
sentially hostile to any Individual as
such nor directed with malicious an
tagonism at any group of men. It is
not in derogation nor to the dis
paragement of others who may be
seeking the same honor. Mr. Alter's
adherents do not rely upon negative
arguments to advance his causo.
They point to the man, to his flaw
less record in two sessions of the
General Assembly-, to his honorable
career at the bar and his standing In
tho community for confirmation of
their claims In bis behalf. It la a
fact beyond dispute that every mem
ber of the new House of Representa
tives who served with Mr, Alter In
past years, no matter what may be

PRESIDENT
LAWAY MANAGING EDITORS
E. B. HAKDENBERall
W. W. WOOD
tbat member's present afllliatlons,
frankly acknowledges tho Spring
dale man's conspicuous ability and
his superior qualifications .for the
speakership. This may not be ex
actly a quick asset, but It is val
uable testimony nevertheless, and it
is eloquent of the fundamental re
quisite which should obtain in the
selection of a speaker.
An examination of the roll of
membership and its political com
plexion discloses undoubted reasons
why the House should elect a Re
publican speaker. That party is pre
dominant. But there was that in the
recent election and there Is an at
titude on the part of some Repub
licans or quasi-Republicans which
renders it desirable that tho new
speaker shall represent something
more than the party name. He
ought to be broad enough in his
views and inclinations to possess the
full faith of Republicans and at the
same time inspiro the complete con
fidence of former Republicans and
members with other partisan lean
ings. Such a man is Mr. Alter. It
is said of him that, although he en
tered the House in 1909 a stranger,
It was not long until he was Influen
tial In Its committee work and de
liberations and had elicited warm
commendation from Gov. Stuart for
the intelligence and fidelity with
which he went about tho public's
business. In the session of 1911
nearly all of the administration
bills, so called because they wore
Intended to carry out recommenda
tions specifically .made by Gov. Tener
in his Inaugural address, were com
mitted to Mr. Alter for introduction
and floor management. As Governor
Tener is expected to submit a num
ber of important subjects for action
In his forthcoming message all of
them constructive and marking defi
nite stages of legislative progress
it would appear to be the part of
wisdom, from tho standpoint of the
commonwealth's real Interests, that
the governor should have the benefit
and aid of a speaker who will bo in
thorough sympathy with executive
plans for advancement. In this
respect Mr. Alter's election would bo
admirable.
Tho speakership situation Is sur
rounded by many complications. If
a blunder is mado the consequences
may bo serious to the Republican
party's future and not to the ad
vantage of tho state. Tho oppor
tunity is presented in Mr. Alter's
candidacy of achieving a popular
move which will go far toward re
establishing public approval of the
motives and methods of the Repub
licans of Pennsylvania. Pittsburg

A boy can learn to send and re

The life of a sailor on a battleship

SEVEN DIE AS BRIDGE GIVES WAY
Piling Undermined by Floods, Engine
Plunges Through Structure.
Huntington, W. Va., Jan. 2. The
first day of the new year brought to
the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad dis
aster. An engine of the heaviest type,
pulling westbound freight train No. 09,
plunged through a temporary bridge
spanning the Guyan river at Guynn
dotte, on tho eastern edge of this city.
Seven men were hurled to death and
a half dozen more seriously hurt. Tho
dead are:
P. E. Weber, engineer; Henry White,
watchman; Charles Haddie, Emmott
Wood, James Crawford, Charles Cny-
ner and J. G. AVhcclcr, bridge workers.
The financial loss to tho railroad com
pany is estimated will reach ?500,000.
Freight traffic on the road was com
pletely tied up and passenger traffic
was resumed after a delay of several
hours by the use of the tracks of the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad.
Tho Guyandotte bridge, tho scene of
the disaster, was known to railroad
men as the hoodoo bridge, the accident
making the third on this structure.
Tho railroad officials claim that the
collapse of the bridge was duo to tho
piling being undermined by tho high
stage of water now prevailing in Guy
an river.
Fifteen men were working on the
bridge, and eleven of them went down,
five being rescued from the river. The
others fell under the engine nnd enrs.
So far it has been Impossible to dis
cover the bodies of any of the victims.

"We should plant ivy and other vines
