TO which was added, two years ago, a
chronic sour stomach. The baby was
born Z months ago, and almost from
the beginning, ii, too, suffered from
sour stomach. She was taking il from

told me to quit coffee. that coffee did
not make good milk, have since ascer-

SOMETHING TO CONSIDER.

The speech OF Grand Master Nor
rissey, of the brotherhood of Rail-
way Trainmen, In this city last week,
ought to be commended by every
thinking citizen. Mr. Morrissey, de-
clared that trainmen in all depart
ments were compelled to work too
many hours to insure safe traffic on
the roads. He said there was no
doubt but that most Of the accidents
are attributable to exposure and
overwork on the part Of trafnmen.
He added: H.
= ''There is no other occupation to-
day in which men are forced to be
more alert and active, and yet are
expected to remain in service so
many hours at time. Laws should
be enacted to protect the railroad
man. We should work unitedly in
an effort to procure thu enactment Of
measures providing for the mainten
ance Of the families Of railroad men
who meet with misfortuns. II rail-
road companies can be forced by leg
=islation to install safety appliances
for the beneflt Of the patrons Of the
road, It would be no more than fair.

For instance we have the largest piano

is the Duluth Music company. Its

feet Of floor space and they certainly
have an immense stock Of musical in
struments on hand for which we
might please any taste or pocket

We want to congratulate the Duluth
Music company and Mr.. Stewart. its
manager on the magnificent growth
of its business and the elegant new

DEFICIT IN p. o. DEPT.

Henry A. Castle former auditor for
the postoffice department, writes in a
recent number of Harpers Weekly con-
corning the deficit in that department.
Certainly he knows whereof he speaks
when he says:
I'm the United States last year the
enormous sum of $46,oo0,0OO was paid
the railroads for transportation of the
mails, of which sum $5,00O,000 repre-
sented that inexcusable and scandalous
graft. the rent Of mail cars, under
which item more is: paid annually for
the bare use of the cars then the cars
cost in the first place.
Calculating according to official fig
ures moves the Detroit Journal to re-
mark:
with this graft eliminated the treas
ury statement this year would show,
instead Of deficit of SIS, 100000 a sur
plus Of $12,000,000 or $13,0oo,Ooo, even
admitting that exorbitant express rates
! were paid on mail matter"
Here, then, are a few facts that those
who complain about an alleged deficit
in the postoffice department-and con-
Quoted by money-grabbing capitalist;
at that-ought to consider. With gov
eminent ownership. Of railways the
present graft would be wiped out and
the surplus could be used to reduce the
cost of postage and better the condi-
lions of the raBh who do the work, in
stead of further enriching small band

UNIONS NECESSARY.

Organization Not Only the Right but
the Need of Labor.
Professor Walter A. Wyckoh OF
Princeton, who worked as day Ia
borer after his graduation to famil-
iarize himself with the conditions OF
the working people, spoke recently
before the Y, NJ, G. A. of New York.
He said in part:
1.-THE one salient fact of modern
industry is the concentration OF cap
ital. One per cent of the families OF
this country own and control more
Of the capital that is used in the in
dustrial work of the country than the
remaining 80 per cent. AS a. natural
result there has come about social
cleavage in dustrjal society, one class
owning and controlling the instru-
ments of production, the other class
merely selling it's labor, whether
mental or manual, skilled or un-
skilled, for competitive wages.
'"rhese facts made the organiza-
ton of labor a primary necessity of
modern labor. No one familiar with
the industrial history of the past
century can deny that organization Is
not only Tue 'EI8uI UuI tAC A0SoooA'J
of modern labor.
$50 when I hear Of the extension
of such organization, particularly
among unskilled workmen and in
those trades that have been called
parasitical, look upon 1t as one of
the most hopeful signs Of solution
of the problem that 'confronts us.
