LABOR ZOE BALLor nEroRM

The action OF the Central Labor
Union in placing itself on record as IA
yoring the repeal Of the infamous
Votens Assistant bill is one OF the
healthiest signs OF the times The Cen
tral Union is not a partisan body. and
In the true sense. the repeal bill is not
a partisan measure. IL rises to the
dignity Of fundamental question OF
right and wrong It rs not necessary
10 dignity the question with serious
argument The Voters Assistant act IL
as absolutely wrong as would be an
act making Theft easy. The labor or
ganization has seen this, and as a re-
sponsible body. as an organization that
believes in the sacredness OF our in
stitutions It stands for the purity Of
the ballot
We say. and we believe the labor or
ganlzaton agrees with us. that the ball
lot-box must not be tampered with.
Every man with right TO vote must
be permitted to do so, but to get a true
verdict. no voter must be tampered
with We want phe verdict TO mean
something, and whether under these
circumstances the people want Demo-
cratic rule. Republican rule or Union
Republican rude. Is a matter OF NIL
nor importance.
Perhaps reform in our State and mu.
4 -nfciissa, politics viii be brought aboui
by an aroused spirit among the labor
ingmen. The churches have baen in
different, many OF our leading citizens
profess not to care and others have
shown that the role of tlme-serve.t
suits them. But II labor On masse
shall demand the elimination Of bribery
and fraud, their position viii com
mand respect
This corruption at the polls has gone
far enough. It Is not altogether thaf
the public service suffers. THAT we pro
test. When a man sells his vote, he hal
lost his manhood, he ceasesto be a GOO
citizen in any respect, and is therefor
a source Of contamination He is al
example for other depraved men; an
il can be demonstrated that when
single man in a community selS hi
vote, at the next election there will 10
ten for sale. BY all that We hold deal
sacred or secular. let the laboring mar
and the man who lives by the industr
of his brain, join hands In this crusad
for ballot reform.

Theft That is Fashionable.

From the Boston Traveller.
The doctrine of "meum and teum' Is
curiously regarded by some people. Wdt-
ness the custom OF souvenir approprla-
don. which is 80 fashionable. Ii is the
respectable people, the people of position
and average means, who indulge In this
mania for taking what does not belong 10
them. At "a Fashionable Chicago athletic
club recently there was ladies day. 1t
was the sweMest OF the swell among func-
tions, yet after Il was over two hundred
silver spoons and lot OF brc-a-brac and
other more or less valuable articles were
missing. They had not been mislaid, nor
had thoy been stolen" IL happened that
there we're a few hundred women I'm the
party who had the souvenir craze; and
on departing each appropriated the article
which he dhought most desirable as an
addition TO her collection
II one Of these women should be charged
with theft she would be righteously indig
nant and would be likely TO demand OF hei
husband that he chastise the offender. II
one or more OF these souvenir collecting
women should be arrested for the larceny
OF "A spoon or bit OF bric-a-brac and sen

what is 1T but theft, pure and simple. Ihi
women who take spoons, or glasses o.
forks, or anything else, 70 add TO the
souvenirs are thieves, whatever way yo'
| look at It. They have not even the excus
OF necessity. II one OF the servants at tn
athletic club function had taken silve
spoon TO sell it to secure medicine for hi
sick wife. what sympathy would be ha'
for him. II detected he would be nrreste'
and punished.

SEVERE ATTACK OF aRIP

Cured by one Bottle of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy.
"Nhen l had an attack Of the grip
last winter (the second one) / actually
cured myself with one bottle Of Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy" says Frank
w. Perry, Editor of the Enterprise,
Shortsville, n. Y. "This Is the honest
truth. | at times kept from coughing
myself to pieces by taking a t%easpoonful
of this remedy, and when the coughing
spell would come on at night l would
take a dose and it seemed that in the
briefest interval the cough would pass
off and l would 60 to sleep perfectly
free from cough and its accompanying
pains. To say hat the remedy acted as
a most agreeable surprise is putting it
very mildly. l had no idea that it would
or could knock out the grip, simply be-
cause / had never tried it for such a
purpose, but it did, and it seemed with
the second attack of coughing the rem
edy caused it to not only be OF less dur
alton, but the pains were far less severe,
and l had not used the contents of one
bottle before Mr.. Grip had bid me
adieu." For sale by all druggists.
