The encounter between Senator Culber son and Mr. Brantley took place m con nection with ah argument by Samuel Gompers, president of the American Fed eration of Labor, in ' the interest of a plank favorable to labor. He spoke for the principle covered by the workman' compensation bill,- when Mr. Culberson raised the question as to federal juris diction in compensation cases. The Texas senator and the Georgia congressman, had opposing views as to the proVislons of the bill, until at last the Texan exclaimed with marked emphasis '' "The gentleman from Georgia Is en tirely correct." - . "The gentleman from Georgia is en tirely right," responded Mr. Brantley who had aided in preparing the bill. Mr. Gompers asked for the reaf firmation of the Denver plaform on questions affecting labor, dwelling especially on the question of injunction. He referred to the recent prison sen tence against himself, John Mitchell and Frank Morrison for the violation of an Injunction. ; 'I don't want to speak of myself," he taid, "but I do want to say of Mitchell and Morrison that they can hold up their heads because they have done their level best for the common betterment and .the general human uplift." Mr. Gompers said that while originally a republican he had not acted with that party In recent years. , . They did not play fair with the masses and I could not play with them,", he said. ' v '- i 'You got what you wanted at Denver, didn't you?" asked Mr. Bryan. 'We did," replied Mr. Gompers, "and we gave you from 80 to 86 per cent of the labor vote." - Emery In Opposition. James A. Emery.representlng the man ufacturers, opposed the concession asked by Mr. Gompers. He said his organiza tion was non-partisan. In reply to a question of Mr. Bryan he admitted that the late Mr. Van Cleave of St. Louis, had been a member of : the organization and that he had taken an active part in opposition to the democratic candidate , In . 1908, but said he had exercised only the privileges of an lndivdual. ' "As a matter of fact, is not your organ ization political in character?" Mr. Bryan asked. "It Is not," said Mr. Emery, "it under takes only to defend itself against the inroads of your party." . . Speaking for the American Stock Grow ers' association. Representative Ruckerof Colorado, a democrat, attacked the reci procity, law, saying the stockmen and farmers were united in opposition to it. He also contended for an adequate duty on sugar and declared that never had there been such a misnomer as the farm ers' free list bill of the last session of congress. Albert S. Grigg of the American Civic Reform association urged a declaration against polygamy, but was rather sum marily disposed of. , DISTRICT COURT IN JEFFERSON COUNTY FAIRBURY, Neb., June 26.-SpeciaO The June term of district court is In session at Fairbury with Judge L. M. Pemberton presiding. The docket for this term is unusually large, including a number . of Important criminal and equity cases. The case of Walt Flnnegan against St. Joseph and Grand Island rail road occupied the attention of court for several days and both counsel for de fendant and plaintiff worked hard to win, but the case was finally decided in favor of Mr. Flnnegan, who was awarded a verdict of $1,240. This suit was the out growth of a contract job of grading done for the railroad by Mr. Flnnegan. The company claimed that the work was not performed In accordance with the con tract However, Mr. Flnnegan proved that the work was first class and won a verdict.

Fifty Thousand Talk Strike for Monday NEW YORK, June 26.A strike of sea men and other employes on coastwise steamships on Monday next seems in evitable. The companies object to the renewal of the existing agreement, which expires at the end of this week. About twenty companies and about . 60,000 em ployes are affected. The union some time ago asked for a renewal of the old agreement with modi fications. A statement by officials of the Clyde line explains the companies' stand as follows: ! 'Under the union agreement we had to take the men the union sent. We carry too many thousands of dollars of cargo and are responsible for too many lives to take such a risk. Even the union officials admit that they have not given us proper service."

Butler is flllod with a consuming wrath. He has uncov ered a practice among petty lawyers that he believes t little less than criminal So sore is he that the diplomatic acting mayor has posted a warning sign above the door of the mayor's sanctum: "Dan ger! Obnoxious lawyers keep out!" Butler was sitting in the mayor's big chair when a soft-faced, clear-eyed maid of 20 came in. She was pensive. She was blue-eyed. Her hair was dark. She was pretty. "I'm from Kansas," said the little maid, "and my brother Is In Jail. He is charged with vagrancy. He came here to get work and they locked him up. Won't you pardon him so that I can take him home?" "U-u-u-m," said Butler, indicating that he was sympathetic, but too wise in the ways of women to unequivocally promise a pardon for the offending brother. Fi nally he decided to Investigate. Having reached a decision Butler whirled about In a business-like manner. In the doorway stood a well known police court lawyer, eagerly observing. He ap proached and seconded the little maid's motion for a pardon. That was sufficient for the acting mayor and he invited them both to leave. In an aside he told the girl to come back alone. She came. "Have you paid that lawyer anything to get this pardon?" he asked her. "Ten dollars as part fee," said the little maid. "Damned if beg your pardon I've a good notion not to pardon him. And let me tell you if you pay that man another cent I won't pardon him. Do you hear?" The girl heard. Butler declares petty lawyers have been trafflcing In pardons and a few of them have a large clientele. They repre sent to those who seek their aid that they have a great pull with the powers that be and pocket fat fees, sometimes for talking the mayor into pardoning a man. Butler says the practice must stop or he will make a horrible example of some light of the law.

"There's a Reason" for POSTUM POSTUM Ihe Bee Letter Be ox Knowledge, Troth and Virtue. OMAHA, June 24.-To the Editor of The Bee: In a recent discourse an Omaha minister declared "knowledge without virtue la- dangerous." .However, as the distinguished speaker advanced no evidential proof or an ultimate analysts. his declarative premises becomes only an Individual dictum without authority In either ethical or religious thought. I contend that knowledge is truth, and being truth knowledge without virtue is impossible. An appeal to the weightiest of au thorities "common sense" of mankind- will establish decisively and affirmatively that knowledge is beneficial to man, be cause knowledge Is right and right Is virtue. The speaker further declared, "knowl edge without virtue is the cause of the unrest of Europe." Here the speakur does violence to facts, sacrifices truth to a general Idea, and again Ignores the triple untity of truth, knowledge and virtue. He should be cognizant that virtue does not rest alone In the positive precept of his church, and that the mani fold ramiflrstlons in the evolutionary process of the Divinity that Is deter mining the ultimate destiny of the human race admit of no such sudden consumma tion. In Europe an opinionated system of political, religious and social beliefs has for centuries betn a barrier to the higher truths of alvanciug civilisation. The pres ent period of unrest In Europe presents the conflict between this system, as the lower, with the higher forces of u more enlightened civilisation. To ascribe virtue to the lower and deny it to the higher forces of civilisation requires, indeed, a peculiar process of reasoning. If the distinguished speaker Is solicitous about the unrest of Europe, I ask him to give to Europe those mighty forces of American civilisation that have made this nation the greatest nation of the world. However, his program Is different. Ho seeks to give to. this nation of a happy and prosperous people the very forces that are the real cause of the unrest In Europe. Wherein is his consistency? J.
