than five times this number, Or over
5000 people died from pneumonia in
Chicago during the same year, with
scarcely a passing notice. Every one
of these cases of pneumonia resulted
from cold and could have been pre-
vented by the timely use Of Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy. A great many
who had every reason to fear pneumo-
mia have warded it off by the prompt
use of this remedy. The following is
an instance of this sort: TOO much
cannot be said in favor of Chamber

CHILD LABOR LAWS NEEDED.

Reports in the New York newspapers
of the meetings of the National Child
Labor committee which We're recently
held in that city. indicate that inter
est in the movement toward enact
ment and enforcement of protective
and that the outlook is more favorable.
President Roosevelt's demand on con-
gress for a child labor law in the Dis
trict of Columbia, the helpful agitation
of the question by labor unions and the
growing numbers of ordinary citizens
who are giving attention to the needs
of the children. are all encouraging
and indicative of reform.
The cities and manufacturing sec
tions where child labor laws are lack
ing or ignored are becoming prolific
plague spots of ignorance and litter
acy. Rhode Island, filed with cloth
mills and notion manufactures where
children may be employed and with a
child labor law useless and intended
to be useless, has the largest percent
age OF illiterate whites of any of the
states. The glass making districts of
Pennsylvania, Ohio and Illinois are
in much the same condition and state
might be carved out of any of these
districts that would compete in ig-
norance and illiteracy with Rhode Is
land
None may eat his cake and have it.
The draft of the mills and workshops
on the schools must be paid some day.
The factory is not the farm where
eight months of child labor may be re-
paid with four months schooling and
even more with opportunity. The mills
that grind the ten and twelve year Old
children are turning out grists Of
stunted manhood and womanhood, to
breed again a lower, more dwarfish
and more ignorant generation. Pro-
lection of young children from the
sweatshop and the factory is a pa
triotic as much as a philanthropic
duty.

TALK HAPPINESS.
rHampton Chronicle.l

In a certain business house in
Hampton. If you go to the telephone
hanging on the wall you are accosteu
by a boldly lettered card Immediately
over the mouthpece on which is prln-
ted the following advice: Talk hap
piness, the world is sad enough with
out your woes Placed there by some
wag of q clerk, it always confronts
you. And it is the best of advice.
Talk happiness. Nothing is more mis-
cradle than person who. is always
bothering his fellow-men with his
woes. The world will laugh with you
if you will talk happily. If you are
iovial you will talk to an admirlng
group, but if you air your troubles you
will have to corner your listener ana
hold him. Keep your troubles to your
self and they will decrease. The more
YOU talk of them the larger they grow,
the less you will be admired. The
and the more you talk unhappiness
world of today does not want grum-
blers, it wants optimists. There is no
place in this happy world for mourn
ers. Keep a smile on your face and
people will greet you with outstretch-
ed hands. With tears in your eyes you
cannot find sympathy. lis not your
troubles others wish to hear, but your
funny stories. Talk happiness and you
will be happy. Tell of your troubles
and you will be always in trouble. So
take the little motto to your heart and
remember to "Talk happiness the
world is sad enough without your
woes"

AMENDMENT is SOUND.

Another disappointment has come to
our friend Payne, of Nevada. The BIZ
ennial election law has been judicially
declared! sound and as a corollary some
fifteen to twenty columns of legal arSu :
ment in Payne's newspaper have been
adiudged unsound. The people of Iowa,
however, are pretty we'll pleased with
the result. 1t was a meddlesome pro-
amendment as there We're no important
controversies then pending which were
dependent upon the validity of the
amendment. Payne was opposed to the
amendment from principle and because
of this he set up his case.
Had there been technical defect
sufficient to invalidate the law it woul
have been a travesty on justice for this
biennial election proposition has been
repeatedly passed upon favorably by
legislatures and twice carried by Il
vote of the people. Actually there was
not the. least question as to the general
purport of the law being fully and
clearly understood by the voters.
Already the public has begun to APP
preciate the benefits of biennial cleo
tons Were it not for the new law
the campaign for governor would now
be on in full blast. AS it is the real
representatives of the people can at
tend to their own business instead of
being compelled to sacrifice their time
and energy in getting out to fight the
railroad politicians. Next year we will
have one big fight for the nomination
and election of a governor and entire
new executive council and then the
trouble Will be over with for two years.
The relief given every second year
will be appreciated this summer.

Just at this time little plain talk
to the business men of Manson will
not be out of the way. Some of them
. need good talking to, while it will
not hurt the others to listen. While
the editor does not pretend to be the
only perfect man in the town. he re-
serves the right to say few words to
correct the abuses that are common
and rampant in Manson just at pres
ent. To begin, there is altogether
too much inclination on the part OF
some of Manson's business men to al
low a few of the hustlers to do all the
boosting for the town, while the
.'some" lay back on their launches
and take in the money without exert
ing themselves in any particular. The
man who is doing the most bowling
about the town going wrong is the fell
low who is not satisfied with fair
profit, but wants to gouge everybody,
charge two prices for his stuff and
pinch every cent. He is one OF these
boys who is always a devil of good
fellow when everything is coming
his way, but it makes him sick to
think that the least thing is GETTING
away from him. He is a constant
bowler about the people bo send out
of town for anything driven to it, per-
haps by some of his gouging and rob
bery) yet he is one of the most persis-
tent patrons of the catalog houses in
the community. He buys all kinds
of fancy household articles which he
sees advertised in the magazines.
when he could just as we'll get them
at home and give his neighhor a
chance to make q little profit. The
same neighbor is probably handing
him several good hard dollars every
year, too. And now, maybe the home
dealer is just a little bit to blame ?
Maybe the home dealer is too stiff and
independent and wants to hog it all?
Maybe he does not hustle and % afrer
trade as he should? Maybe there is
not enough of business sociability and
'you-scratch- my-back and-Tll scratch
yours" feeling around town? 1t has
got so bad that plenty of Manson bust
ness men send out of town right along
for their coal, fish, printing. clothing,
meat, lumber. machinery and whislley.
are they altogether to blame? Why
not inquire into these things and see
if the matter cannot be adjusted and
Manson resume her oldtime business
sociabilties? Let's quit playing hog
and stop this unpleasant knocking and
gousing. Boost for Manson and for
each other, pull together and get to-
gether and stay together It's 1905
now and time to be UP and doing.
