Labor Leaders Will Take Appeal Washing-ton , Oct. 30. Samuel Gompers , John Mitchell and Prank Morrison of the Ameri can Federation of Labor , who were sentenced by Justice Wright to jail on terms of twelve , nine and six months respectively for contempt in the now famous in junction proceedings-of the Buck Stove and Rang-e company of St. Louis will take an appeal to the United States supreme court m xbu evcovctie' . .jtrict court of appeals sustains the action of the court which imposed sen tence upon them. P President Gompers , in an ed- itoral in the November issue of the -.American Federationist self and his co-defendants * * "Whatever the decision of the - court of appeals may be , " he as serts , "it must ultimately lead to victory for labor , and a victory , for labor will mean a victory for all the people Should the court . sustain the appeal and annul the sentences , it will maintain be yond question the right to free speech and free press. 'If it show d sustain thedecision " ' of Justice Wright , it will simply I t mean that an appeal must be jVT taken to the highest court in [ \ ( J the land to obtain a final deter ; mining- word as to the judicial r Prfi anC * fr tional guarantees. Even should the highest judicial tr bunal of m $ , our country fail to maintain the | j Ji right of free speech and free , . , ' IIIL1 , press , there is still a higher . , , . vilu a. court the court of public . .

ESS Hint for the Merchant. ' ' 'Turn that paper the other i * side out , " said a lady in a dry gooda store the other morning , as the clerk was putting her \ f up purchase , 5335an exchange. advertisement tojour store. I read the papers as all intelligent peop'c ' ought to , and I think in them is the place to advertise your business. Instead of ask ing your customers to carry your sign around with each purchase of gooda go tell the people through the papers what you have to sell and how you sell it RfipuniacANs and democrat , many of them of statewide reput ation as able and sincere toilers at the task of good government , have joined in calling-a meeting this week to organize a state direct legislation league. ' 1 he extension to the state at large of the right incase of need to pro pose and pass laws or to veto acts of the legislature , " is un- - questionably ths next and final step in establishing- .chincry to put the state in the hands of the people of whom it consists , This is not a partisan issue , and can no more be made such than the general question of ptpulai government. If a person believes in popular govertnent he will favor this move. If he distrusts popular government he will dis trust direct legislation. . But no party cares to kill itself by re pudiating democratic govern ment. Such a non parisan or ganization as is proposed , backed by men of the standing of those who have taken the lead in call ing this meeting , should finb it only necessary in an unbossed state like Nebraska to exnlain cue case and tne tuitig is done. The lay of public opinion on the question in Nebraska is no doubt about the same as in the similar ly peopled state.of Oregon where the vote on a direct legislation amendment was 62,034 for. to 5,668 against , a ratio of eleven to one.
