Jure Q, 1905.

Dear Mrs Sewers: Until now, since
I lett you, every moment OF time has
been full, but al last the long railroad
Journey Is over and | am two days out
on the ocean. This big ship, with its
many passengers and crew, now seems
the real world, while the friends and
the dear ones left behind seem another
world. Already l wonder il l am the
same person who had those pleasant
visits in the homes, now sweet memor-
les 1t seems that l am IN another
world, the one so familiar to me these
many years past The quiet, efficient
Chinese servants on the steamer the
wide awake, smiling Japanese, the
many passengers in steerage all Asia
ties. take me back to life of the Orient,
even before / reach nv destination
The pleasant visit TO Glow export will
long ne remembered The pretty homes,
the elegant church and the cordial peo-
pie ali make p leasant picture. My
Journey on the land was without any
thing special. There were crowds on
their way to Portland, while, on part
Of the Journey, we had womens
convention that filed three cars and
overHowed everywhere, so it was hard
70 get anything to eat, either in the
diner or at the eating stations. The
West is a wonderful country, with
a wonderful future and, in many
places, magnificent scenery. But the
deserts are tiresome California,
around San Francisco, is beautiful, as
you bave often heard, bat the grand
eur and wonderful beauty Of the
flowers has to be seen to be realized.
The railroad now crosses the salt
Lake thus cutting off many miles of
desert and giving a most delightful
ride across its blue waters
This steamer is one Of the largest on
the Pacific, and by far the best l have
travelled on. Unless quite rough, very
little motion Is felt, but we had
enough ont the first night to make
almost every one sick. We are now
quite used to the motion and swells,
So life is not the burden it was some
hours ago. All kinds of people TO be
seen on a voyage ike this. One can
but wonder why some people travel
TO some It means to only kill time
and -pend money.
Please remember me to all the
friends | met but especially 10 Mrs.
Skillman and Mrs. Ferry Hope you
and your daughtei keep well. With
love and best wishes to 10th.
Mamie B. Gaines.

above all. woman who has had
more experience in treating female Ills
than any living person. ,
Over one hundred thousand cases OF
female diseases come before Mrs. PINK
ham every year, some personally,
others by mail, and this has been 60
ing on for twenty years, day after day
Surely women are wise in seeking
advice from a woman of such expert
ence, especially when it is absolutely
free.
Mrs. Pinkham never violates the con-
idence of women, and every testimo-
nial letter published is done so with
the written consent or request OF the
writer, in order that other sick women
NAV be benefited as they have been.
Mrs. Fred Seydel, of 412 North saith
Street, West Philadelphia, Pa, writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
"Overa year ago wrote you letter asking
advice. as l had female ills and could not
carry a child TO maturity. l received your
kind letter Of instructions andfollowed your
advice / am not only well woman IN con-
sequence. but have a beautiful baby girl l
wish every suffering woman in the land would
write you for advice, as you have done so
much for me-
Just as surely as Mrs. Seydel was
cured. will Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound cure every
woman suffering from any form Of
female Ills
No other medicine in all the world
has such a record of cures of female
troubles as has Lydia f. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound. Therefore no
prudent woman will accept any substi-
tute which a druggist may offer.
If YOU are sick, write Mrs. Pinkham,
LYNN. Mass, for special advice. 1t is
free and always helpful.

Why The Sprague Was Built.

rush of the towboats to LOUISVILLE after
tows of coal. The Sprague, which is
the largest tow boat in the river, pass

one of the largest tows Of empties that
ever passed the local port, and the
Sprague was making excellent time.
1t was formerly the case that when
a lot Of coal was taken down the river
the barges We're sold at the destination
and new ones built for the next
trip, but as timber grew scarcer and
consequently higher IN prce, it was
found more profitable to tow the empty

built. She is monster, so large that

ELY SEES THE SIGNS

that municipal control of street railways a,

commenting on these remarks, has this 10 say
The street railway syndicates do not like
ITO suffer" and they are growing more and
more fearful that the education Of tic people
will cause just the kind of suffering that will
hurt them most. There has been a mighty
advance in the reasoning power Of the people
within few years, and the subject on which
their entire thought is concentrated at this
moment Is municipal ownership Of public
utilities. How to get rid Of corruption IN
municipal government has been answered n
hundreds Of instances by the people rising
In their intelligence and their power and
themselves taking under their own super
vision and their own control their light
their waterworks systems, their garbage
systems and the other utilities in which they
are individually and collectively interested
The next logical step In this progressive and
purifying movement is municipal control Of
street railways and the American Street
Railway association is convinced that the
people intend to take that step Hence the
cry Of warning which the president OF this
association utters. He begs the question BY
calling municipal ownership Socialism,
and characterizes its advocate as "dema.
gogues" The people will not be diverted
from their purpose or their rights by the
mere calling of names; but they will one and
all be able to discover the key which ln
locks the secrets Of the opposition Of the
American Street Railway association TO mu
nicipal ownership, which President Ely iaf

FOLLY OF CHILD LABOR

The folly of child labor Is clearly pointed on
" Owen X. Loveioy in Men and Women for DC
ober. He shows that low wages must produce
oor purchasers and can therefore never increas.
We have deuded ourselves with the be-
lief that national prosperity is measured by
ability to produce goods The theory Is
fundamentally unsound The material pros
perlty OF a nation depends on the ability of
her population to consume goods Any sys-
tenn which weakens the consuming power OF
community strikes at the foundations of
its economic prosperity Tendencies in So
cial development that augment the cost of
living without a corresponding Increase in
the rewards of labor may build imposing
structures, but they are without foundation.
Hence the crowning Indictment against child
labor In practical age Is that the child
laborer is poor consumer. Undeveloped
physically he lacks the capacity for those
goods which are the staples of vigorous ply
sical life: undeyeloped in mind he lacks
the capacity 10 consume books and other
means of extending his information: un.
developed in taste he lacks the ability TO
consume those various works of art which
are the pride of modern civilization. Fur.
thermore he Is a poor consumer because he is
poor, for the prevailing wages of the child

upon 80 per cent of the child laborers which

markets of the world. The bogie man of

Yet there are literally thousands of homes

THE NEBRASKA CAMPAIGN

The refrom press Of Nebraska Is taking a
lively interest In the present campaign because
for the first time the democratic and populist
parties are eonieuding in fact as well as In
theory for the same principles. The democratic
platform contains planks that could have APP
penfed only In a populist platform decade ago
The rank and file of both parties now seem to
realize that the one way TO secure better govern
ment in Nebraska is TO wrest control OF govern
ment from the railways and give II to the people
and to secure II In their hands by enlarging the
scope Of popular rule:
We are NOT so much opposed 10 the use

Norris Brown, Nebraska's yoube at

a maximum rate to be fixed by law as a
remedy for life insurance evils. There may
be merit In the suggestion. Much would
depend, however, upon whether not the
rate were enforced or not, once II was en-
acted. Nebraska, for instance, has max
imum rate law. II relates, II is true, not to
life insurance rates, but TO railroad freight
rates. Nevertheless, II is a law Of much inn
portance TO Nebraska. II would save hun
dreds Of thousands of dollars every year to

But there's the rub. The railroads don't
want II enforced. It would interfere with
the fat dividends they are paying on watered
stock. And Norris Brown attorney general,
