Originator of the Injunction Against Strikes. TOOK AWAY TOILERS' RIGHTS. His Decisions From the Federal Bench Stamp Him the Workingman's Foe. Trend of the Press?German .Vote i Swinging to Bryan?Financing the ; Democratic Campaign. I By WILLIS J. ABBOT. The work of pushing the Bryan cam paign has begun in earnest at the headquarters of the Democratic na tional committee In riie Auditorium 'Annex, in this city. Colonel John W. Tomlinson, the national committeeman from Alabama, who is in charge of the bureau of organization, said the other day: "We have not less than 50.000 precinct committeemen throughout the iUnited States. To every precinct rep resentative it is our intention to send requests for the formatiou of clubs, a plan for their organization and direc tions as to where th?y can secure the proper lithographs, buttons, post cards and other paraphernalia necessary to club work. While it is not altogether probable that We shall get returns from nil of these committeemen, I feel it is certain that we will get at least 20.000 answers. You can readily un derstand that 20.000 organizers of clubs throughout the country will menu a tremendous power for the Democratic cause. Of the "u.000 at least half are Jn doubtful states, but we shall have clubs iu all states, whether doubtful or not. I wish you would say. if you have au opportunity, that men other j than precinct committeemen who will { ?write to me at the headquarters of the national committee can secure author!- [ ty for tbe organization of clubs and :?. printed certificate of the authority, provided that some one has not earlier been appointed iu the same precinct." Colonel Tomlinson will shortly begin a tour of the country organizing clubs. Meantime those who desire to take part in this work may well communi cate with him at the Chicago head qua rt era, Political Finances. ^ The finances of the present campaign. l)oth iu the Republican and Democrat ic parties, are likely to be embarrassing. Cs'o doubt the Republican party will 'have the more money, but as for many ?years it has been in the habit of hav ing absolutely unlimited means its comparative poverty this year is like ly to trouble it more than the positive poveriy to which the Democracy has long been accustomed. Apropos of rthat, the chairman of tbe financial com mittee Muses Wotniore of St. Louis, gave me the following interview: "The committee "n finance will nat urally need a certain nmouut of money wiih which to pay the legitimate ex penses of the campaign, and Chairman l."~cfc of the national committee is de termined to run the campaign on a very economical basis. The committee is very much encouraged by the fad that, while no organized effort has yet been made for the collection of funds. Governor Hnskell, treasurer of the committee, reports that very gratify ing contributions are coming into his olliee every day. "When the Democratic newspapers all ever the country take up the mat ter of collecting money we expect sub stantial results. You know that this is a people's campaign, aud the people, therefore, must produce tbe money to cany it on. Donations of a small sum ?will be just as thankfully received as those of a larger amount, and our rec ords will be so kvpt that the small con tributor will receive the same credit and be just as gratefully remembered as one who contributes a larger sum. We feel that In fixing, the maximum limit to be received from any one per son at $10.000 we aeied patriotically and wisely, hut we would rather have 10.000 contributions of $1 each than one big lump sum for the perfectly ob vious reason that sueh a list of eon?ri butions would mean 10.000 loyal sup porters of the Democratic cause." I The German Press In the Campaign. It Is no doubt due to the influence of the New York Staats-Zeitung aud i:s di'v.l'i'vriw'iwl edit-r. !'e,- P'd tier, thai so a : .:. ; ? > rapers have swung over to luv :? ;:.<> cratic party. A rather interesting il lustration of this was furnished me the other day by L. E. Fay of the Clifton Daily Advertiser of Iowa. Mr. B'ay is a candidate for cougress in the Sec ond congressional district of that state, and he informs me that six German newspapers which heretofore have been Republican are this year sup porting the Democratic ticket. This Is a rather unusual situation in the mid dle west. While many Germans have been In sympathy with Democratic politics and with the candidates of that party, there has been on the part of voters of that nationality, and par ticularly on the part of their newspa jrers. au inclination to support the Re publican party. Possibly . this has ?rowu out of the service of so many Germans In the civil war. Possibly it I may have been due to the almost dom inant influence of Carl Schuir and of i Herman Rldder in earlier days. But it seems now that the German devo tion to the Republican parcy la finally' broken. It began In 1892 to weaken . rwhen the issue of tbe Lutherau schools ?was first raised and when, under the ieadershlp of Governor Altgeld, the I question as to the existence of the I "little red schoolbouse" first became j Important. If In one Iowa district ev- j ery German paper swings to tbe Dem ocratic ticket, both congressional and 1 national, one can very readily Imagine No one is immune from kidney trouble, so just remember that Fo Imv's Kidney Remedy will stop the irregularities and cure any case of kidney or bladder trouble that is not beyond the reach of medicine.

Long before this time the speech of acceptance of the Democratic candi date for the presidency has been print ed in nil the newspapers of Hie land Mr. Ilryau's spjoeb v.a-.: fliaiv.etcri?liv of the man. It was ethical rather than political. It dealt with broad princi ples of popular rule rather than with disilnet issues, all of which had been covered by the platform on wblcb he stands, and finally it pronounced for such fundamental principles as the rule of the government by the people and the assertion that the Democracy believed in equal rights to all and spe cial privileges to none. .Mr. Kern is yet to issue his letter of acceptance, but my understanding is that it will follow very much the same line. He is a clear thinker and one who can express his views concerning public questions with absolute and convinc ing frankness. People have been say ing that John YV. Kern was not known widely outside of his own state. That is probably true, but I venture to ex press the belief that before this cam paign is over he will be one of the most widely known men in the United Stares. His style of oratory is rather restrained than florid. But ho talks convincingly. argumentatively and quietly, and perhaps sometimes a quiet talk does more to influence an audi ence (ban the fireworks of the fire braud orator. Moreover, Mr. Kern will make a close and a dear friend of ev ery man whom he meets. This will not perhaps influence the election very greatly, for this year, according to the figures that I have seen compiled, there will be not less than 1S.000.000 votes cast, and no man can personally meet even a modicum of these voters. ' Put those who meet him will admire him and, in my judgment, will vote for him. Newspaper Men In the Campaign. The Democratic national headquar ters here were invaded two or three days ago by a delegation of owners und editors of newspapers whose homes ranged all the way from Portland. Ore., to Lexington, N. C. There were repre sentatives of papers from Belle Plain. Kan.; from New Roads, La.; from Greenwood. Miss.; from Tallassee. Ala.; from Logansport, Ind., and from Hope. Ark. This is a mere selection of the various towns and states repre sented. Put all. with one accord, though there Were one or two Repub licans iu the gathering, declared that their people were going to support the Democratic ticket this year and that (heir belief was that Mr. Bryan would have an overwhelming victory. Per haps this information coming from Ala bama or Arkansas might not have been astonishing, but when it came from Indiana and Oregon it is worth atten tion. Taft and Injunction. When the Republican party goes to the voters of this nation, and particu larly it' it asks anything from the workingmen, it will find the fact that its candidate. William II. Taft, was the head and almost the originator of the injunction against labor movements will rise up to curse It. It was T.^ft who when oh the bench joined with the somewhat notorious Judge Ricks in Issuing the first sweeping injunction against the right of laboring men to either strike or to agitate. It was a Taft convention which voted down any resolution that meant action on this particular evil. What Taft may say now is immaterial. What he did when he sat on the bench was to issue a sweeping injunction against the right to carry on a strike because it pro hibited men engaged in a labor dispute from Inviting others to join them. It prohibited them from agitating the is sues involved in the strike and even declared that they should not be al lowed to gather on the streets, "to ac cumulate by contributions from mem bers of the labor union a fund which shall enable them to live during the pendency of the strike" or, in brief, to conduct the strike In any way that would make it effective. The members of the American Federation of Labor are cognizant of these facts. The mem bers of the Switchmen's union, one of the strongest labor organizations, know about it. The reason that every labor paper in the United States is printing articles hostile to Taft, the reason that every labor leader In the country is fighting him. is simply because of |Vi i ;..:..? ?; ., ' i.?.... resolutions denouncing the principle of government by injunction for which Judge Ricks, Judge Woods and Judge Taft were and are today responsible. A candidate is to be judged by the platform on which he stands. No brief and polite words issued now to the la bor press or to the daily press by Mr. Tuft can by any possibility correct his record as judge or the record of the Republican convention which he dom inated wholly. Chicago. Walking. "Walking." once said Dr. Oliver Wen dell Holmes. "Is a perpetual falling, with a perpetual self recovery. It is a most complex, violent and perilous op eration, which we divest of Its extreme danger only by continual practice from a very early period of life. We find how complex it is when we attenipt to analyse it. We learn how violent it is wheu we walk against a post or a door in the dark. We discover how danger ou? It is when we slip or trip aud come down, perhaps breaking or dislocating our limbs, or overlook the last step of a flight of stairs and discover with what headlong violence we have been hurling ourselves forward."

Value of Attractive Railway Grounds and Commercial Buildings. Lowell maintained that he "loved to enter pleasure by a postern." But no body is so constituted that be likes to enter a pleasure resort by the back dour through a preliminary kilrheu midden in the back yard, let this is what every American has to do when ever he betakes himself to such a re sort. For that matter, it is what every commuter lias to do every time he takes the evening train for home, says a writer in Scribner's Magazine. The eye of little employment having the daintier sense, according to Shake speare, and afflictions inducing callosi ties, according to Sir Thomas Browne, this is by no means so grievous to the commuter as to the guest to whom be has sung the beauties of his suburban paradise and who has to go through a purgatory of a "business quarter" to reach the same. The paradise, when it is reached, may really come up to the brag, but the sensibilities of the vis itor have been too much rasped to en able him to appreciate it. Entering almost any American town, big or little, is iu fact entering by an unkempt postern. The railroad it self seems to have an unfailing instinct for the slum, which It customarily cre ates. You cannot make the yard of au important station attractive, though you may make it highly impressive in ! its repuisiveness. But with regard to the suburbs and the resorts it is not the railroads which arc most to blame. Iu fact, some of the most enlightened of them, quite comprehending that beauty is tin asset for them in attract ing settlers and commuters, take suc cessful pains with the looks of their stations and of the immediate sur roundings thereof. And. as everybody k"ows. it is in suburban work that our architecture Is apt to show to the very best advantage.

Much b;it been written about the subtle infit.i ? of the big four pound catalogues i. ..; broadcast over the land by the hot: ? s located iu the big cities which, str:....... to say, refuse to sell goods to the residents of the cities iu which they are located. There is tt mysterious element in these bulky \ per books, writes D. M. Carr in the I> i lit (111.) Herald. From cover to cove: ' ??y are tilled with pic tures aud wifi prices and descriptions of goods. The [>ower of printer's ink is the only urn; net, and this magnet can be used by merchants everywhere. The publishers of these great cata logues do business running well up toward the fifty millions yearly. All their success has been in the ink they use and the way they use it. Because these concerns receive pat ronage that should go to the home merchant it is the home merchant's fault, Mr. Carr argues. The home merchant neglects to do just what the houses which publish the big cata logues ? do. He may not have the money to get out such a. great list, neither the means of carrying great stocks of goods. Yet he possesses all the means necessary to gain the trade that goes to these great concerns. He can buy goods just as low, has less ex pense, and, while the big catalogue goes to a customer only once in a year or two, through the medium of the local newspaper the merchant can go to all the people of the community once a week and at the lowest ex pense. Not Confined to Farmers. T* must not be understood that the habit of buying a cat in a bag, and that from a stranger, is confined to farmer folk. Far from it. People who owe their immediate livi.ig to the com munity, who draw their salaries from the public treasury ? schoolteachers. local property owners whose wealth depends upon the geueral business prosperity of the town?pass up the home merchant and pay their good money for the picture wares of the catalogue houses. And, more than this, the retail merchants In many cases ignore their local brethreu In trade and send to the cities for what they want for personal use outside of their own line. What could be more suicidal than such a policy? And yet it obtains to a greater or less extent In every community. j Gas and Shade Trees. It requires a great deal of care to make shade trees grow well in a city or town. They must be thoroughly watered, and wheu they are young they need protection against the man who is inellued to make hitching posts of them for his horse and against the boy who gets rid of part of his animal spirits by breaking the branches. And even frees that have bud a fairly vig orous growth feel I he effect of such Improvements as asphalt pavement, curbstones and cement sidewalks. They become discouraged and give up the struggle.

Putting Away Valuables. "Hiding places fur money aud jew elry, did yuu say?" queried a college girl. "Well, 1 must confess that some of the girls are woefully lax about tak ing any kind of care of their more choice belongings. And those who are careful do have funny places for hid ing things. "There was one girl in our house, a senior, aud where do you think she kept her rings, chains and money? She always put them in her shoe bag, for she felt sure that that was a perfectly safe hiding place. Then there was an other who also chose a bag to protect hers from the burglars. It was her laundry bag. I often wondered that she d In't send her wash olf with the prccioi. ?? possessions in it, but she claimed she never had made that mis take. "A clock > as lue hiding place of an other's money, "tedle others chose the mattress, th ? d< s,\ ?''rawers and places in their chiffoniers. Those are more or less common hcuks. Vases, too, are fa T' ' ? receptacles. Oue girl-1 know bad a pillow with a patent bug arrange ment in one corner, where she hid all the things she deemed too valuable to leave iu. sigh;. Another had a fascl uaiing old chair, and in the springs of this she found a treasure h insc. Still another put her valuables under the corner of her large rug. "Oh, yes, there are lots of funny places for money and such, but the joke of It all Is that half of the girls forget where they do hide their thing', especially when they want them iu a hurry."
