OF VALUE TO HORsEMEN.

Do you turn your horses out for
the winter? If so, we want to call
your attention to a very important
matter. Horses which have been
used steadily at work, either on the
farm Or road, have quite likely had
some strains whereby lameness or
enlargements have been caused. Or
perhaps new life is needed to be in
fused into their legs. Gombault's
Caustic Balsam applied as per direc-
tiOns, just as you are turning the
horse out, will be of great benefit:
and this is the time when it can be
used very successfully. One great
advantage in using this remedy is
that after it is applied it needs no
care or attention, but does it's work
well and at a time when the horse is
having a rest. Of purse it car be
used with equal success while horses
are IN the stable, but many people in
turning their horses out would use
Caustic Balsam if they were remind
ed Of it, and this article is given as
a reminder.

Peculiar Perversity.

Says the Winston Journal:
every legal voter should register
and vote. 1t is peculiar perversity
that prompts a man to. refuse to reg
lister. IF he wasn't allowed to vote
he would give a howl that would fair
ly reach to heaven"
That he would. We may be par
doned for again repeating the late
Judge Armfeld's illustration of this
p~erversity of human nature. The
Judge said that when he represented
Yadkin County in the Legislature he
introduced a bill to give the Jews
certain legal rights which had hith-
erto been denied them in North Car
Dina. Thereupon his political enc
mics told it in Yadkin that Armfeld
had turned Jew" and had intro
duced a bill in the Legislature to
prohibit people from reading the
New Testament. Immediately, said
Judge Armfield, every man in Yad-
kin County bought a New Testa-
ment, carried it about with him and
read it constantly and publicly. But
as % as they found that the report
vas false they laid their New Testa-
ments away and concerned them
selves no more about reading them.
Such is the perversity of human ma
ture. When, nj is told he can't do
a thing he Immediately becomes pos
sessed of a strong desire to do that
very thing, Notwithstanding that
prior thereto he may have cared
nothing for the privilege which he
suddenly esteems so highly.-States-
vile Landmark.

That would be a r~eversion to mediae-
val barbarism. The humane modern
principle is that the p~enitentiary is,
as far as possible, to be a reforma-
tory. Nor is the question of expense
to be ignored. Is it conceivable that
labor unions would rather be taxed to
support prisoners in idleness than
have the latter set to earning their
own living AProf. j. A. Holmes, of

One Attitude Of the Labor Unions.

Two match-boxes lie on my desk,
given me by officers of the Cigar
makers international Union. The
sides are of celluloid. One side reads,
"Smoke no cigars that do not bear
this label"; below is the union label
in facsimile. The other side reads,
"These cigars are not union made";
below is a list of widely advertised
cigars. 1t is a form of boycott.
"What is the story?" I asked a Ia
bel agent.
"The story" he said, els hat those
cigars are made by the Trust. They
are made by machines that roll them
out at the rate of perhaps a thousand
a day. A cigarmaker al make by
hand perhaps 150."
"Would you stop the machines 2"
I asked.
mo" he Numbered, "we can't
check mechanical progressive DIDN'T
want to. We do want cigarmakers to
run the machines at a living wage.
When the ~typesetting machine came
in, the typographical union insisted
that regular printers should run
them at the regular wages. The ma
chimes moved printing up a notch
they didn't lower wages. But cigar
making machines are run by girls
children! And on starvation wages!
That's what we want to STOP"
"Like child labor in cotton mills 2"

Gust" he snapped. admit that
a father among the unemployed, with
young daughters earning from six to
eight dollars a week on a cigar-mak-
ing machine, under a coarse and per-
haps vicious foreman-I could tell
you tales-is not so pretty an Amer
lean sight as a father earning eigh-
teen dollars a week and keeping his
children at school. That is what we
work for-to help our children-to
give them a better start, please God,
than we had. Let the machines come
in, by all means, but let us run them.
Don't fire us, to turn our fingers
skilled at c~igar-rolling, and good for
nothing else, to idleness or to a new
trade too late-and put our children
in our places."-M. G. Cunnif, in

What Constitutes Unselfshness in a
Citizen.

Citizen.
The man of business who devotes
his surplus wealth to the promotion
of education or of art, or to the ale
Walton of suffering, is doing public
service. So, too, among business
men and lawyers and journalists,
among the men engaged in the most
energetic and active pursuits, we
find those who are always ready to
serve on committees to raise money
for, charitable or public purposes, to
advance important measures of legls-
lation, and to reform the evils which
are especially rife in great munich
palities. To do this they give their
money as well as their time and
strength, which are of more value
than money, to objects wholly outside
the labors by which they support
themselves or their families or graft
fly their own tastes or ambitions.
Thus they meet the test of what con
stitutes usefulness in a citizen by
rendering to the country, to the pub
lie, and to their fellow citizens, ser
vice which has no personal reward
in it, but which advances the good
of others and contributes to the well
fare of the community.-Senator H.
@. Lodge, in November Success.

THE THINKERS
The Legislature and the COnvicts.

Carolina which Will convene at Ia
leigh In January will consider the
ways and means of lettering the
States social, industrial and educa-
tional condition. One subject that
will occupy the minds of some of its
most progressive members will be
the disposition of the States con-
victs in such manner as will affect
our section most benefcially. There
is a strong sentiment in favor of put
ting all of the convicts to work upon
our public roads and in preparing
stone and other road material in Or
der that the counties of the State
that are so anxious to progress along
this line may have some encourage
ment from the Commonwealth. This
will be an investment yielding Il
handsome return both to the pres
ent race and to ~posterity.
The following clipping shows some
of the advantages of such a system
of convict employment
Short term inmates of the local
p~enitentiary are being employed at
breaking stone for road building.
One result is that the county is saw
ing 20 cents on each cubic yard of
metal. Another is that the number
of tramps and other petty offenders
In Erie County is growing beautiful
" less, the "sons of rest" not relish
ing work in the quarries. A third is
that there is a very perceptible i'm
provement in the physical and moral
condition of the convicts, because of
their systematic employment at a
healthful occupation.
Unhappily, it has to be recorded
that such employment of the convicts
is strongly opposed by the labor IN
ions, and their employment on the
highways in the actual work of road
building has through such influences
been prevented. Such an attitude
on the part of the labor unions is
difficult to understand, save on the
principle of the dog in the manager.
Work on the public roads is some
thing which free workingmen, as a
rule, are most reluctant, if not posi-
lively unwilling, to perform. A Sc
rious obstacle to good road construc-
ton in some places has been the diff
fculty of finding men willing to do
the work. Just why this should be
so we cannot tell, but so it is. Sure
~ it is unreasonable for men in the
labor unions to object to convicts
doing work which they will not do
themselves.
There is, moreover, the general
principle of the desirability of Civ
ing the convicts systematic work, and
preferably hard work in the open air,
such as that at road building. It is
desirable to do so for their physical,
mental and moral welfare. Surely,
the labor unions do not wish to have
the inmates of penitentiaries still
more degraded in body and mind.
