MUST TRUST ROOSEVELT.
There Ia No Other Alternative for the
WorkinYmen.

Wage earners though saying little, are
taking a deep interest in the campaign.
They have compared the records of the
two leading Presidential candidates, and
have found Parker wanting in sympathy
Ter the wOrkingmen. ltOosevclt's record
speaks for itself lie has never lost an
opportunity TO show, by word and deed,
that he is heart and soul in sympathy
with the toiler. In this connection the
following extract from an editorial in
TIE Western LabOrcr, of Omaha, one of
the best known organs Of union labor in
the West, is interesting:
The workers Of the doubtful States must
trust Roosevelt because they know him
and because Of what they know him to
nave done as nssemblyman at Albany, rs
governor of New York and President OF
the United States. II the workers IN the
doubtful States will read Parker's letter
comfort for labor In that and Will GER
tuinly conclude that the long -looked-fo
document Is the work OF designing knave
or incompetent ana certainly not the work
Of II statesman, because II is fiat. stale and
Improbable to the reader, closely resemb-
ling all his other expressions In which he
has expressed nothing tangible in any of
his promises or proposit Ions, wherein moth
ing Is but what Is not and the very fact
that the nnti-unon solid south Is anxious
for his control OF the government should
be sufficient 10 alarm all liberty loving
generous. hearted and fair-mindcd men
We must trust Roosevelt. There Is no
alternative for the workers OF the United
States

MINERS LIKE ROOSEVELT.
William Little Tells Why the Presi-
dent Should He Elected.

DemocracyS campaign managers are
trying their utmost to show that Presi-
dent Roosevelt is not the friend of the
wage-earner, but are meeting with re-
bluffs on every hand. All the big, pros
porous labor organizations are non-par-
tisan, strictly ignoring politics as a body,
but influential members are not chary in
expressing their views individually. Will
liam Little, Il member of the executive
board Of the United Miners of America
is as careful an observer of public senti-
ment as can be found in the great army
of tolers. He travels extensively, and
has become convinced, after talking with
representative labor uniOnists through
the country, that there is nothing or
nobody in it but Roosevelt" as he terse-
ly sizes up the political situation. In an
interview in the Labor World OF Pitts

Senator Bacon has been reduced to
tears because the North CONTINUES TO pre-
sent practically solid front to the Solid
South nearly forty years after the clos
ing OF the bloody chasm. The emotional
Senator should reserve his tears for the
Solid South. When they can dissolve
that Bourbon combination OF traditional
mistrust and exploded political dogmas
the chief cause and excuse for sectional
politics will disappear. Why doesn't
Senator Bacon begin campaign for the
secession OF Georgia from the Solid
South? OF course he will answer The

TO drag myself around the house.
Whenever that time approached it al
ways filled me with dread. It often
seemed to me that 1 would rather die
than live.
"One day last spring q friend of mine
strongly recommended DR.. Williams,

DR.. Williams Pink Pills are what
hundreds of women need to change a
wretchcd into happy existence, to en-
able them to get rid of small worries
altogether, to bear heavy burdens
easily and to find daily enjoyment in
life Anaemia, irregularities, nervous
| debility and prostration yield promptly
to the invigorating influence of these
marvellous pills. They not only cure
all forms of female weakness, but they
| supply fresh store of vitality to the

They are sold by all druggists.
