The soldier and the sailor are es-
pecially subject to catarrh- In the
barracks and on the field, Peruna is
found equally efficacious to overcome
this physical enemy. If taken in time
it will prevent colds from developing
into catarrh. Even after a cold has
settled in some organ of the body.
Peruna can be relied upon as an eff
cacious remedy to promptly overcome
it.
Peruna will relieve catarrh, whether
acute or chronic, but a few doses of
it taken in the first stages of the dis
ease will be more effective than when
the disease has become established.

Value of Freedom and Education

Vdlue OF ffeeoom ana EDUCATION.
A free population, ambitious to get
the benefit of it's own labor and enter
prise, is the makion of any country
With freedom will come more general
education and a great upraise in Mex
lean life Will result. By way of con-
trast Mexico and Sweden and Norway
offer an interesting study. Mexico,
with peonage and restricted education,
has a wonderful and rich variety of
natural resources. Sweden and Nor
way, with a cold and rather sterile
country, have individual freedom, and
are the only countries in the world in
which every grown man can read and
write. Therefore the Scandinavians
have prosperity, good homes and a
general and splendid civilization, while
Mexico, with friendly climate and
great natural resources, 1ags behind.
But the signs of advancement are
many ana encouraging, and there is
every reason for taking a cheerful
view of the future of our sister re-

GREAT FLOODS

WALLA WALLA, Nov. 14-High
water is causing heavy damage
and delaying railroad traffic in this
vicinity and the Yakima valley.
This city was dark last night on
account of damage at the light
plants-by the flood in Mill creek.
The Union was compelled to sus-
pend publication for one day on
account of lack of power. Base
ments were flooded and founda-
lions undermined along East Alder
street.
Near Easton the Northern Paci-
fic track was washed out for some
distance. The Matches river is on
a rampage also and Geographic
communication with flooded dis
tricts is cut off.
Heavy damage from water is re-
ported from the west side between
Auburn and the summit. All
streams are up to high water
marks. The loss of one life has
been reported and the prospects
for immense losses are ominous.
Railroad schedules have been com
pletely disarranged by the floods.

DISGUSTING DISPLAY OF SNOBBERY IN
A UNITED STATES EMBASSY

WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. a.
Tales of the doings of the Ameri-
can ambassador and ambassadress
in one of the leading European
capitals have caused considerable
gossip here. The ambassador 5
appointment to his present post
after two or three promotions was
caused largely by the effect which
it was known his handsome enter
tanning might have. But while
ambassador and ambassadress like
entertaining they have been show
ing a marked aversion to their
country people abroad.
When the ambassador came to
take up his new post and the in
vitation list for the housewarming
was made out, the ambassadress
tried to explain omissions and &C.
centricities by stating that my
husband and | are so accustomed
to court life that we find it very
hard to know all about the middle
classes" A warm welcome was
not given by the Americans whom
this statement reached. The even
ing went off fairly smoothly, how
eyre, except for one lady from
Kentucky whom the ambassadress
challenged at the door with the
question whether she had really
been invited. The lady retired af-
ter indulging in a fit of Mysteries.
The ambassadress and his excel
lency, her husband, sowed broad
acst the word that there were no
"at home" days at the American
embassy. But when 1t was OBJ
served that the local nobility went
at stated intervals to the embassy,
blocking the street with their car
riages, and that only Americans
were excluded, there was decided
cooling of the atmosphere.
The expedient was then found of
double sets of reception days, one
for the native nobility and the
other for Americans. But by this
time the embassy was pretty well
boycotted.
The ambassadress met a very
prominent baron and at once
made up to him, as is her wont
with well-known titles. 81 am at
home on the first and third

window as her coachman drove
off, so that it might be known to
whom the insult had been offered.
The ambassadress was consider
ably upset when she learned what
had happened, and so she made the
break of her career. She was CIV
ing a dinner very shortly after
wards, when a very prominent
American society woman wanted
: to take some sugar, she did not see
the tongs and with her fingers she
took a piece from the top of the
sugar dish and put it in her cup.
Out rang the voice of the dis
tinguis,hed hostess in command to
the butler:
Have that sugar dish removed
to the pantry and washed"
The lady turned very pale and
got up, her cup in her hand. She
deliberately dashed her coffee into
the fireplace and left the room
without a word. Since then her
circle of friends have been among
! the embassy boycotters.
All this has got on the nerves
of his excellency, who does not ap-
pear able to set his domestic af-
fairs straight. automatically this
ambassador has made no breaks
that anybody has heard of, and he
has behind him several brilliant
, achievements, but the American
embassy, being cut out as social
factor, is causing a reaction even
in the foreign circle.

Tuesdays, but those are for the
Americans my husbands position
compels me to receive. For my real
friends, | mean the foreigners,

Fridays, and | hope to see you
next Friday" she told him.
The baron went home and said
to his wife that he would not go,
but out of courtesy to COM
patriot she might call with their
daughter. For the baroness is an
American. SO the baroness and
her daughter drove up to the
American embassy on the follow
ing Friday. AS equipage after
equipage stopped at the embassy
steps, a turnkey put his hand on
the carriage door and flung it open.
The baroness said, The ambassa-
dress is at home?" She had an
American accent which could have
been recognized half a mile away.

EMPLOYERS, LIABILITY BILL,

This bill, the enactment of which
labor has so forcibly demanded for
four years, was at last passed by the
house Of representatives. The bill
provides that interstate railroads shall
be held responsible for the injury or
death of an employee even If such in
jury be brought about through the
negligence of fellow-servant. AS
stated in our April issue, the fate of
this bill since first it was presented,
has been full of vicissitudes, for natur-
ally it encountered the opposition of
powerful corporate interests. That it
now will become law Is chiefly owing
to the recent demonstration made by
the American Federation of Labor as
well as the workingmen of the coun-
try. Undoubtedly congress feels that
If workingmen as such are going to
take a more active interest in politics
1t Is time ito occasionally conciliate
them by favorably considering meas.
ure that does not grant, as most of the
legislation enacted in Washington and
the state capitals, greater privileges
only to a number of trusts and cor
porations. The lesson this points out
to the workingman is obvious.-Brick-
layer and Mason.

OUR souLLEss CORPORATIONS.

To one who has never heard aught
save condemnation of our great rail-
road corporations, the sight presented
this week and last, must have occa-
stoned some deep thinking. Every
railroad running west offered free
transportation of all merchandise to
San Francisco, and train after train
passed through Omaha laden solely
with supplies for the California suf-
ferers. For over a week the strange
spectacle has been seen of great
railroad system like the Union Pacific
almost entirely turned over to the
work of charity. Not only has that
grand road transported material and
provisions of all kinds free, but it has
given such trains the right of way
over it's regular trains. The same may
be said of all western lines, and not
satisfied with that, the railroads have
furnished free transportation for
everybody wishing to leave California
for the east. The Union Pacific, it is
said, furnished over ten thousand tick
cts to people who were fleeing from
San Francisco, and here they were
transferred to the Northwestern and
other lines on the same basis of free

INVITING TROUBLE.
Colorado Labor News Will Get Itself
Disliked.

The last issue of the Colorado
Springs Labor News contained the
invitation for trouble:
S. ]. Stern, union label promoter
of the United Garment Workers
of America, made this Office a
pleasant call Wednesday. Bro.
Stern will stop in Denver for
few days on his way to Omaha,
Nebraska. When asked his idea
of advancing the interests of or
ganized crafts through the system
employed in Denver and else
where by means of The Union
Label Bulletin, he said, no better
or surer way of obtaining results
could be found and when the Or
ganized crafts of Colorado Springs
would devote column or two of
their labor paper for the same,
purpose they would realize the
great good being done Try it,
brothers.
What, start label agitation in Colo
RADIO Springs and invite trouble with
the Citizens Alliance? Shades of
Charley Deacon! Is the editor of the
Labor News looking for trouble? Does
he want to be expelled from his union
for lese majestic? Wouldn't such a
be looked upon as slap at
the eminent gentlemen who have been
purchasing goods for the Union Print
ers' Home from merchants who openly
declare their antagonism to union Ia
Dor, but put up a little money for the
entertainment of the printers conven-
ton merely as an investment?
The Labor News should bear in
mind that one woman was expelled
from the Auxiliary at Colorado Springs
for insisting on having union money
spent with the friends of organized
labor, while her husbands card as a
printer was threatened because his
wife was one of the three who signed
the Woman's Label League protest.

Springs?
Treason!
