WASHINGTON LETTER. From Onr Regular Cottespoudent, John Sharp Williams', Demo cratic leader of the House, play ed clever politics recently, when he showed up the hypocracy of the so-called "Big Five." the lit tie cotere which, headed by Spea ker Cannon, runs the House of Representatives. Mr.' Williams put the five Republicans -ori . rec ord as opposed to removing the duty on wood-pulp, despite the President's earnest recommenda tion that this be done: to a law prohibiting injunctions in certain labor cases, and to the prompt enactment of an employers lia bility law. It is perfectly obvious to those who observe the course of the House leaders from a point of vantage that Mr. Cannon and his colleagues are at heart op posed to evry reform' measure advocated by the President It Is true that they may try to en act some half-key measures mere ly to save their own faces at the polls next November but whatev er they deem it necessary as a matter of self-preservation to do they will "do with wry faces-Cannon has himself for instance in troduced a resolution calling on the Secretary of Commerce and .abor to conduct an investiga. tion of the combine which makes wood-pulp paper and keeps the price at an exorbitant figure to every publisher in the land. But this resolution is merely a grand stand play, a bid to the uuin formed, really intended to gain time and avert; the necessity of a'tiort which would be offensive to the wood-pulp combine at this session ol Congress. Of course an investigation will take time and while an inquiry is being mad the Speaker and bis , friends will assure the House atid the coun try that it would be quite im proper for Congress to take any action. A little side-light is thrown on the hypocrisy of the- investiga tion resolution by the fact that Senators Foraker and Crane and Speaker Cannon have just been bending every energy to secure the election of the head of t h e wood-pulp combine as an anti Taft delegate to the Republican national convention from Mas sachusetts. 1 Speaking, of Cannon, Crane, et al, Wednesday. April 1, proved a great April Fool s day for the reactionaries ia Massachunetts. Senator Crane had beeuassurinjr the reactionary faction of the Re publican party that he would place Massachusetts at the head and front of the reactionary col umn with a solid anti-Taft dele gation to the national conven tion. The voters, however, thou t otherwise, and as a consequence they elected twenty-two Taf t dele gates out of a total 01 thirty two and made such a demon stration of their approval of the Taft candidacy that it is now re garded as doubtful if the ten anti-Taft delegates will dare to vote against the big Ohioan at Chica go. , .... The extent to which politics Is interfering with legislation is ap palling: For instance, all the past week the Senate has been ready to pass the Child Labor bill f 0 1 the District of Columbia. This is a model bill and the opponents of the child labor regard it as nf the utmost importance that the national legislature should pass such a bill which will prove a most salutary example as well as a model for every State in the Un ion. Nothine has been done, how ever, because Senator Beveridge has been absent attending the Republican state convention in Indiana and before leaving he ayked that the bill be. held until his return so that he might offer his national trhild labor bill as an amendment. Of course 'the mat ter has been held up at his re quest, despite the fact that there ia not the ellghtf st chance of its being adopted. Proably there are few sincere and honest men who would not like to ee child labor abolished, but those who have the Republic at heart are unwil ling to see such an overthrow of the rights of the sovereign states as the Beveridge bill implies and, moreover, it is so obvious from previous decisions of the Supreme Court that the Beveridge bill would be pronounced unconsti tutional, as an interference with the , police power of the states, that sensible , men question the Sincerity of the advocates of the BeveridirC measure. To pass it would mean to subject the whol? question to a long course of liti gation with ultimate defeat for the measure and probably would prove a great setback to the movement in the various states to attend to this matter themselves.- Everyone who is interested in the seal herd of Alaska will learn with pleasure that there is some prospect of the question of the seals from pelageic sealing being opened up by theCanadiaqs. tor years the United States has been trying to reach some agreement to stop this brutal form of seal ing but everytime the Canadians have presented some insurmount able objection. Now, however, the Japanese sealers have, so far mo nopolized the industry, if it may be dignified by that name, that jit has become quite unprofitable to the Canadians ana it is expec ted that they will themselves re open the negotiations , with the United States which tbey foraier- lv and not too politely ended. Pe lageic sealing, it may be explain ed, is the practice of shooting the adult seals three miles or more out at sea. The iurisdiction of the Unided States ends at the - - - three mile limit, but when the mother seals (ire suckling young they .'are .compelled to swim more than that distance in order to secure sufficient, food, their food consisting of the larger fish The pelageic sealers shoot them as they swim and the result is that the un weaned pups, as they are called, wait for the return of the mother and, perfectly help. le.8s. they gradually starve to death, as rlo seal will adopt an orphan pup If there were an inj ternational society for the pre' vention of cruelty to animals it couid not devote itself to a more worthy cause than the abolition of this cruel method of t a k i n g seals.

I as the owner and manager ol these mills was arrested and put under hea vy bond. I desire to say when these rU mors first reached me I was inclined to. treat them asun worthy of an intelligent or seri ous notice, however haviug been informed that this report has ppread rapidly over the country. I now In justice to my friends and my own reputatiou as an honest business mnn denouncethisreport as an inliiiiious, baseless false hood, unworthy ofconsideration for a moment. The nffairsof the Lenoir Mills are conduced in an open honest manner and a re sub jeet to the inspection of all fair minded persons. For the benefit of any one who may le inclined to believe thin groundless rumor. I will give a reward of $5,000.00 who will find any adulterations in the flour manufactured by the Lenoir Mills. What the motive behind this blander of me I do not know neither do I care I only denounce it as false. LENOIR MILLS, by 0. P. Lutz Manager Lenoir, N. C. April 8th. 1908. To the Public: A report has been current through the country thattheLe- noir Mills has been chaiged with Using 'Tac" itt the adulteration of their flour, that 'a special de tective has discovered the same, in consequence of which Mr 0.

I claim to be the ardent Iriend of every indus trial establishment inf.euoirand having heard this report in ad is taut part, of the county in the in tprest ol justice I have investiga ted Mr. Lnt2 was disposed to pay no attention to ir, believing that stieh Unfounded report would lull of its own weight and absurdity. 1 have no motive 111 writing this other than to protect as honor able and stralghtworthy a con cern as does business in Lenoir from unjust and infamouw impu tation anl will say that there is not the slightest ground for so untruthful report, and Mr. Lutz authorizes iho to saf, which I do cheerfully, that he will thank his friends t o emphatically deny sift'htt slander. .

Sold by J. M, Hod Inferioll cn'AlchBbol. . Colonel Robert 0. Ingersoll, in addressing a jury in a case which involvedithe manufacture of al cohol. made the following . terri ble arraignment of the demon: "I am aware that there is a prejudice against any man who manufactures alcohol. I believe that from the time it issues from the coiled and poisonous worm in the distillery until it empties into the jaws of death, dishonor, andcrime.it demoralizes every body that touches it, from its source to where it ends. 'I do not believe anybody can contemplate the object without being prejundiced against the U auor crime. All we nave to no -... . - gentlemen, is to think of the wrecks on either bank of the stream of death, of the, suicides, of the insanity, of the ignorance. of the destitution, of the little children tugging at the withered and laded breasts of weeping and despairing mothers, of wives ask ing for bread, of the men of geni us it has wrecked, the men strug c-bnor with imaginary serpents. produced by the devellsh thing; and when you think ol the ails, of the almshouses, of theasy lums. of the prisons, of the scaf folds on either bank, I do not wonder that every thoughtfnl man is prejudiced against this damnable stuff called alcohol. "Intemperance cuts down youth in its vigor, manhood, in its strength, old age in its weakness. Ic breaks the father s heart, , be reaves the doting mother, extin guishes natural affection, erases conjugal love, blots out filial at tacbment, blights barental hopes, bfings down mourning age in sorrow to the grave. It produces weakness, not strength; sickness, not health; death, not life. "It makes wives widows; chil drerl orphans; fathers fiends; and all of them paupers and beggars. It feeds rheumatism, invites chol era. imports' pestilence and eih braces consumption. It covers the land with idleness, misery, crime. It fills your jaild, supplies vour alms-houses and demands v your asylums. It engenders con troversies, fosters quarrels and cherishes riots. It crowds fyour penitentiaries and famished vie tims for vour scaffolds. Jt is the life-blood ol the gambler, the ele ment of the burglar, the prop of the highwayman and support of the midnight incendiary, ltcoun tenancesithe liar, respects the thief, esteems the blasphemer. "It violates obligation, rever ences fraud and honors infamy, It.defames behcolence, hates love, scorns virtue 'and slanders innocence. It incites the father to butcher his helpless offspring, helps the husband to massacre his wile and the child to grind the patricidal axe. It burns up men, consumes women, detests life, curses God, despises heaven It Suborns witnestes, nurses per jury, defiles the jury box and taints the judicial ermine". 'It degrades the citizen, deba ses the legislator, dishonors the statesman apddisarms the pa triot. It brings shame, not hon or; misery, not safety; Jdespair, not hope; misery, not happiness; and with the malevolence of a fiend it calmly surveys its fright ful desolution and unsatiated havoc. It poiBons felicity, kills peace, ruins morals, blights con fidence, slays reputation, ana wipes out national honor, then curses the world . and laughs ct its ruin.
