CARD FROM A. G. BAKER.

Our furniture business at Hawleyville is now so well known, far and near, that we feel that We may safely, for a time at least, cut down our advertising expenses. An "ad. !" to be of any value, should be changed every week. We are too busy to do it. Besides, we heard man say, the other day that "that furniture man at Hawleyvllle. who ad- vertises so much, must be fool" Queer what big game one runs onto sometimes when one goes put without a gun.l Another more charitable friend remarked to us confi- dentially, in an off-hand way, that writing "ads." out of business hours is liable to lead to softening of the brain. Mind you, he did not say we had got 1t and he looked away over into the next county wheu he said it, but well, we are not slow to take hint, if 1t Is a blind one. It would be perfectly aw- ful If we should really get 1t (this softening disease, we mean, ] and have 1t get real deep- ly seated before we knew 1t, or before we have time to vaccinate. So we are going to stop right off short, give up our advertising col- umns for a while, pocket the m ney that will otherwise go into the coffers of these grasp ing newspaper monopolies," eat brain hard ening food and attend strictly to business, 1. G., selling furniture at Hawleyvtlle. Now for Heavens sake don't tell everybody what you think. Just remember how sensitive we arc to adverse criticism, and say that we are simply boycotting and playing Debs with the newspapers for while. Don't tell them that we are tired or waiting for anything to hard en. Be compassionate, be just, be consider ate be charitable, be liberal minded one with another and last of all be sure and come to Hawleyville before you buy your furniture. Please commit this last sentence to memory

STRIKES rs. REPATRIATION.

Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty" But liberty, or freedom, is not license. This is altogether too free country if one man like Debs is at liberty to order strike and deprive thousands of honest but misguided workmen of their employment; at lib erty to stop the wheels of interstate commerce; at liberty to stop the United States mail; at liberty to incite riots and bloodshed; at liberty to light the torch of incendiarism whereby millions of dollars worth of railroad property and individual property are destroyed; ]; in short, at liberty to inconvenience and distress the public.
 On tbe other hand this is altogether too free country if corporation, a trust, or combination of capitalists are at liberty to grind labor and dis tress the public to the point of insur- rection and rebellion.
 In enumerating the above mentioned deeds we use the word ''liberty" be- cause that word is dear to the hearts of the American people, precious to all true patriots. But if we should use the word ''license" instead of the word liberty" and should say this is al- together too free country if one man like Debs, or if 8 corporation, trust, or combination of capitalists, have license to commit the above mentioned deeds, how quickly the American peo- pie would comprehend the situation and would insist on knowing from whence an individual, corporation, a trust, or combination of capitalists obtained license to commit the above mentioned deeds.
 The recent strikes and riots demon strate that boards of arbitration are as necessary as are courts of justice. In addition to national board of arbitra- tion there should be county and state boards whose services respectively should be called into use to investigate differences between labor and capital, and adjust those differences if possible, before any local or general strike could be ordered by labor organization, or before general lockout could be put in force by corporation, trust, or a combination of capitalists.
 The county board should investigate manufacturing establishments, or cor porations confined to a county.
 The state board should investigate corporations doing business in more than one county, or railways extending through more than one county.
 The national board should investi- gate corporations doing business in more than one state, or railways ex- tending through more than one state.
 These county and state boards would expedite business, for the chances are that workmen would starve to death before national board would reach a decision if the national board moved as slow as congress does with the tariff.
