DEPARTMENT OF LABOR.


Farreachins Functions of Proposed
New Cabinet Office.
Congressman Sulzer of New York has
introduced bill which proposes to es-
tabish federal department of labor,
with farreaching executive powers. 1t
provides for the appointment by the
president of a secretary of labor and
six assistants, who shall severally look
after the manufacturing, agricultural,
transportation, mining, building and
mercantile industries, and branch of
the department to be known as the bu-
reau of fisheries.
The new department would absorb
the bureaus of labor and immigration,
the office of commissioner of labor
would be abolished and all matters re-
lating to Chinese immigration referred
to the proposed department.
The functions of the department of
labor are set forth in these five para
graphs of Congressman SulZer's bill,
which he says he will perseveringly
push with the assistance of the work
inglncn throughout the country:

labor to promote such improvements in
the social, political and economic condi-
tions of the wealth producing laborers of
the United States as shall tend to secure
to them their natural rights to the oppor-
tunity to labor and to security in the pos
session and enjoyment of the full fruits
of their labor.
There shall be established in each of the
principal divisions of the department of
labor bureau of statistics, which shall
collect and report at least once each year,
and oftener if necessary, the fullest pos
sible statistics of the condition of labor in
each of the different industries.
Special attention shall be given by this
department to the collection and publlca-
ton. at least monthly of the fullest pos
sible statistics of the unemployed.
Statistics of the total production of
wealth and the proportion received by la
Dor and of the distribution and ownership
of wealth and land shall be carefully col
lected and published at frequent intervals
The secretary of the department of labor
shall have power to appoint boards of ar
bitration and cancellation wherever the in
terests of industrial peace may require it
to be done
The bill provides for an interchange
of information between United States
consuls abroad and the department.
which would tend to simplify the alien
labor problem by indicating more def
lnitely the supply Of and demand for
workers from foreign lands. This Sec
ton of the measure reads as follows:
Persons to be designated by the secre-
tary OF state shall be appointed to formu-
late. under his direction, for the instruc-
tion of consular officers the requests of
the secretary of labor and to prepare
from the dispatches Of consular officers,
for transmission to the secretary of labor.

The Disadvnptases of Hcroism.

1t would be good thing if in our
public school courses in heroism to
teach the boys and girls that, after all,
while heroism is a fine thing and
great thing, it is most uncomfortabl
thing and that possibly, on the whole,
.he best and most lasting work that is
accomplished in life comes from Il
steady application of all ones best en-
ergies to noble purpose, meeting with
honest and patient effort the emergen-
cies and veXations of daily life and
holding true to the middle course
which assures success without bring
ing notoriety. A fixed purpose to do
well that which one has to do will in
the end bring laurels of more perma-
nent value to the world at large and to
the unheralded hand that achieves its
purpose than those which are even
worthily bestowed upon the brow Of
him who avails himself of an unusual
chance in an abnormal fashion.-Har-

almost everything we can name, so Is
there an unlimited supply of thrift
foresight, intelligence and energy. We
need take no care to foster" them;
just foster human beings, and these
things will develop to our utmost need.
Especially is this true of energy. Our
prisons and insane asylums are filled
with those whose energies have been
misdirected, and some are still outside.
Save human beings, and you have an
abundance of these qualities. Foster
these qualities regardless of human
beings, and you are doing q more de-
structive work than if you let loose a
confagration in a thickly populated
city. To talk about "those whose en-
ergy we should especially FOSTER
meaning, presumably, those who have
made the great ombinations"-see
to me as dangerous as the work of one
who aids or counsels an incendiary,
and as live in Colorado my political
opinion is counted, even though | am a
woman, for | am an American voter
Please pardon this DEPRESSION.
l call upon the people, the great peo-
pie, to remember their greatness. Stand
up in the consciousness that thrift,
foresight, intelligence and energy are
all in you and that you are responsible
for their use. Say to those who would
have you believe that there is only now
and then a man and the rest of you are
only tools to be used by those whose
energies we should especially foster"
1--WE, too, are men. We have thrift,
foresight, intelligence, energy. We will
use our own and no longer let cunning
and greed direct them"

THE FASHIONS.

White is seen in all kinds of cos
tunes and is by far more stylish than
any color.
Irish lace boleros lend a touch Of
elegance to simply made blouses of
louisine or peau de cygne.
Heavy white madras with a narrow
Persian stripe is smart among the sea-
sons shirt waist materials.
Little shallow scallops or tiny
aounces cut in the form of miniature
vandykes decorate some of the newest
skirts.
The newest lace mittens have their
owners initials executed in a highly
decorative woven design upon the back
of the hand.
With the white blouse the modish
accompaniment is the white kid belt
heavily stitched and fastened with
brass, kid or pearl buckle.
1t is a fad of the moment to put
touch of lace trimming on every arti-
Gle of clothing, and up to date stock
ings have a lace insertion finish woven
in the design.
Cornhowers are being revived and
will be conspicuous on summer hats.
Roses are found in every shade. Pan
Sy blossoms are made into flower
toques. trimmed with deep violet rib
bon, and look very handsome.

ers in Chicago are taking a referendum
vote on the question of raising the dues
from Go cents a month to 75 cents. The
large locals are voting almost unani-
mously for the higher dues. but the
smalerones are against them. Although
wages have increased 10 cents an hour
within five years and the expenses of
the organiza ton doubled, all the men,

Would Not Insure Him.
Insurance Companies Refused
to Insure the Rev. j. w.
Yeisley Because He
Had Kidney Trouble.

This case is but one of thousands
where the head ofithe house was refused
insurance, because he had kidney
trouble. Mr.. Yeisley had given up in
despair when some friend recommended
DR.. David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy
and it cured him.
Mr.. Yeisley writes:
My kidneys and liver were in
bad condition and | was anxious for
relief. | had tried many remedies
without success and when | bought
bottle of 'Favorite Remedy it
was with but little faith in its ever
helping me, but in n short time it
effectively proved its merit Per-
haps the best proof | can give that
it has completely cured me is to
state that | have since been accept
ed by four different life insurance
companies"
The Rev. Mr.. Yeisley is the pastor of
the First Reformed church, of St. Paris,
Ohio, and is as well the editor of the st.
Paris Dispatch
There is no question that DR.. David
hennedy taVorlte Remedy Is the best
and surest medicine in the world for dis
eases of the kidneys, liver, bladder and
blood, rheumatism, dyspepsia and
chronic constipation, as well as the
weaknesses peculiar to women. 1t
quickly relieves and cures inability to
hold urine and the necessity Of getting
up a number of times during the night.

AFTER I
 TWO YEARS A Wild Steer Killed In
 Sawtooth Range. WAS FAT AND SLEEK
Had Probably Spent Two Winters In that Locality. ..Strayed From
 Nome In 1900.

A steer which had wintered on the Sawtooth range last winter was recent ly killed by Mr. Kemp. proprietor of Shea's roadhouse. It was fat and dressed about 700 pounds when killed. The killing of the animal and the fact that it withstood the rigors of an Arctic winter, is vouchcd for by Mr. Kemp, who related to l.. C. Vinegar his ex- perience in bagging the game. It was as wild as a caribou and it took four shots from Mir. kemp's rife to end the career of the steer. It seems that in 1900 three steers wandered away from Nome: one was found. but the others wandered far. Traces of the animal were found early last spring. Spots where he had browsed were found here and there in the Sawtooth mountains whose friendly shelter had enabled the animal to survive for prob. ably two winters.
