Hon. W. v. Sullivan, United States
Senator from Mississippi. in a letter
recently written to DR.. Hartman from
Oxford, Miss, says the following of
Peruna as a catarrh remedy:
'FOr some time L have been a suf-
ferer from catarrh in its most in
ctpient stage, so much so that 1 be-
came alarmed as to my general
health. But, hearing of Peruna as n
good remedy, 1 gave 1T a fair trial
and soon began to improve. Its eff
fects were distinctly beneficial, re-
moving the annoying symptoms and
1T was particularly good as a tonic.
'T take pleasure in recommending
your great national catarrh cure,
Perunn, as the best 1 have ever

with the tremendous financial power
which lies behind the monopoly, any one
nation in Europe would undertake
without the most serious consideration
any curtailment of its powers.
The poor in ali countries will con-
tinue to turn to oil for their light, and
the fluid will continue to be purchased
in the conduct of the worlds indus
tries; and it remains quite plain that
no effort will be made IN the immedi-
ate present at least to divert the oil
monopoly Of it's control of the article.
Some time, however, sooner or later,
enlightened public sentiment in all free
countries will get around to the
inquiry whether any natural
product whatever, which is prac-
tically Indispensable to human
comfort, should be, under any circum-
stances, the subject of a private mo-
nopoly. When that Gay comes all
such organizations as this new oil
combination, no matter how powerful
they may be, will have to yield to the
inevitable.

The COMING CONFERENCE.

The convention, whatever it be call
ed, which will assemble in the city of
Minneapolis on Sept. % next, is GER
tain, from present indications, to af-
feet a great deal of good in the world
of industry. Starting out under the
designation of 'the Universal Eight
hour league" it has apparently evolved
into something quite different-a con-
ference of leading representatives of
labor and capital, together with Ger
tain representatives of the general
public, on the best way to facilitate
peace in the industrial world.
This is the task to which the Ma
The aid which may be rendered by the
Minneapolis gathering to that general
purpose it is too early yet to estimate.
But judging by the list of names which
are offered of those who intend to par
ticipate in the conference and to de-
liver addresses, including President
Roosevelt, the somewhat unpromising
features which the movement present
ed originally will have all disappeared
long before the gathering assemblies.
Every movement Of this character
is to be welcomed. The demand of the
hour is for industrial peace. The re-
sort to brute force which is so general
usually offers a fair test of the pre-
vailing moral and social conditions of
the communities in which it is most
frequently resorted to. Chicago is a
veritable moral sink in this respect
The conditions which are every day
revealed there in the relations of en-
ployer and employe are worthy of the
warning tribes of Central Africa.
Too much must not be expected of
this or any other like gathering. The
most that it can do is to push forward
some greater or less distance the gen
eraI prevalence of civilized methods in
the settlement of industrial disputes.
This it can only do through bringing
the representatives of employing capt.
tai and employed labor together and
making them better acquainted with
each other and subjecting both to the
pacific influences of these disinterested
representa- res of society whose prom
inence in one or other walk of life en-
title them to give voice to the general
demands of society.
If the list of names presented Of
those who will take part in the Mime
apolis gathering is not gotten up just
to advertise it and to give a false an
derstanding of its significance, the
gathering will represent a great gain
made in the movement for bringing
employer and employee together on such
a plane that they can and -.-ill do of
their own free will what is possible to
rid society of the disgrace and injury
resulting from their strife.

A WISE REGULATION.

1t cannot be said that the automobile
has as yet come into general use in
this city or vicinity, or that it is likely
SO to do for some time to come. Yet
the proposal to regulate the condi-
tions on which the machines shall be
operated in this city is entirely proper
and timely.
The automobile can be kept under
perfect control. 1t can be operated at
any speed whatever within mile u
minute or over. The existence of such
a motor of itself is a circumstance
which demands of public authority the
most rigid regulations applying to it's
operation.
The conduct of many of those who
have become known through their own
ership of rapid moving automobiles in
the East shows that where no reasona,
bic regulation exists, the most COM
plete disregard of life and limb is Ger
| tain to prevail. Being persons of
wealth usually, those who have found
their way into the criminal courts
through the operation of their automo-
biles, appear to have been possessed of
the idea that their individual rights are
unlawfully impaired when the right to
run at forty miles an nour through a
settled community is denied them.
1t is but few years since every mu-
nicipality in the world was engaged in
considering reasonable regulations for
the public safety against bicycle riders.
And until those regulations were in
operation there had been a number of
casualties. The punishment Of
scorching finally operated effectively
to protect pedestrians.
The rate of speed which would be
regarded as rapid driving under the
law affecting horsemen should be in
hibited in the working of the automo-
bile. 1t may be that the experiments
which are now in progress will before
long result in a great cheapening OF
the cost of these machines. In that
event intelligent regulation already in
existence would soon be found to pos
sess considerable public value.
The st. Paul city council is making
no mistake in proceeding at this time
to enact proper regulations for the OPP
Grafton of the new motor within the
city limits.

A WORLDWIDE MONOPOLY

The Oldest and perhaps the most
powerful monopoly in this country is
the Standard Oil company It has con-
trolled the entire supply of iIluminat-
ing oil for many years past. It's man
agement has been so conservative, and
its charges made to the consuming
public represent so comparatively
slight an advance,if any advance at all.
in the prices which prevailed before
it's organization, that the people seem
content to let it continue undisturbed.
The current intelligence that the
Standard Oil Company is now one of
three parties to a monopoly Of the
worlds oil supply will no doubt arouse
popular interest in it's affairs, which
has been rather slight at any time
since the monopoly was being built up.
by means which many still recall as
far from scrupulous, and which were
| in force in every case where purchase
was not thought necessary or feasible.
The creation of the new world mo-
nopoly in oil will probably not give
this people any immediate or enduring
| concern. AS long as prices remain as
they are, there will be no criticism and
less opposition. One day. perhaps,
the country will wake up to full re-
alization Of what it means to sanction
vast natural monopoly in one Of the
most essential Of the necessaries Of
| life.
! The other nations affected may give
the new organization more of serious
thought than this people are likely to
| do. But it remains doubtful whetEsr,

THE NEW SOUTHERN SLAVERY.

White slavery has prevailed in the
South for many years past, and, until
within very recent period, no serious
complaint has been made against the
institution, and no effort made to nut
an end to it. When little white chill
dren, from seven to twelve and four
teen years of age, are seen generally
employed in the work of factories, as
they may be seen today in every
Southern state, there can be no sue
cessful refutation of the charge that
white slavery exists there.
In a recent compilation of the nro-
portion of adults to children EMPLOYED
in the various callings the state of
Minnesota had the distinction of show.
ing up with fewer children SO emplov-
ed proportionately than any other state
in the Union. In many of the Southern
states the proportion is such as to
cause the average person to wonder if
the adult population are not in great
numbers living from the fruits of the
labor of their young children in the
shops and factories.
There has been one influence ade-
quate until recently to prevent any
general attention being directed to the
shameful conditions applying to the
lives of little children in the South.
That is the influence of commercial
and industrial progress. Southern
communities have shown their anxiety
TO advise the world of the great in
crease in the number of the cotton fac
tories of the South; but publicity has
not been sought to any extent either as
to the rate of wages or the Character
of the employees of those establish
ments. Recently, however, the South
has taken the subject under serious
consideration, and there promises to he
an early and general reform in this re-
spect.
The Dry Goods Economist, the recog-
nized organ of the cotton trade had an
investigation r-ade by competent rem
resentative some time ago, and declar-
ed as result that the conditions with
reference to child labor in the South
were appalling" The following ex-
cerpt from the report of the Economist
is being generally quoted:
Indeed. it is almost inconceivable how
they could have SO long existed without :
protest tnat would have resounded the
prehensible, in view Of the fact that mil
presidents and managers are men of ax-
ceptional character and capacity Though

ton
Southern cotton factories are being
built mostly by Northern capital. Many
of those interested in the ownership
and active management of such con-
Germs are identified with the like indus
try in New England, and are thorough
ly familiar with the restrictions which
most Northern states have placed on
the employment of children. Yet these
men have withstood the movement for
reform and have done so on grounds
which they must themselves regard as
an insult to their intelligence, if not to
their morality.
Public opinion is happily awakening
to the brutality of the situation, and it
sighted and greedy employers will be
able much longer to prevent the en-
actment of reasonable laws safeguard
ing growing children. The interest of
society in putting an end to the pre-
vailing conditions are far greater and
more momentous than their mainte-
nance is to the continued industrial
growth of the South. Indeed, what
ever the Southern people may think
about the matter, it can safely be stat
ed, as the view of all intelligent per-
sons in Northern communities, that it
would be infinitely better, even for the
South itself that a factory of any kind
should never be established within its
borders than that they should be main
tanned to any extent whatever by the
labor of young children.

PAVING of University.

The board of public works yesterday
sent out notices of hearing to be held
Aug. IL on the proposed paving of Uni
versity, from Rice to Dale streets The
property holders number over $50.
While a number favor the paving of
the street, there are many who do not,
and the latter will undoubtedly succeed
in having the Improvement postponed.
The portion to be paved Is nearly a
mile in length and will necessitate an
expenditure of fully $100,0
The board of public works says that
even if the work is not done this year
the hearing will show the feeling of the
property owners toward the improve
ment and assist in having it ready for
next year. The members says II Is al
most too late now to think of having
the street paved.
