Children in Pain

Never cry as do children who are suf er-
iag from hunger. Such is the cause of
all babies who cry and are treated for,
sickness when thev really are suffering
from hunger. This is caused from their
food not being assimilated but deyouredl
by worms. A few doses of White's'
Cream Vermifuge will cause them to-
cease crying and begin to thrive at once.

Low Wages and Living.

The most partisan republican news
papers, of which the ST Louis
Globe-Democrat is a shining eX-
ample. are Selling with avidity the
fact that the cotton mills of New
England have raised the wages of
their employees to Is per cent.
Of course. the 10 per cent increase is
for the officers of the cotton mills and
the per cent for the working man and
working women. AS an indication of
how little wages the cotton operators
are paid. the June issue of the Massa-
chusetts Labor Bulletin contains the
results of a personal inquiry concern
ing what is called the distribution of
wealth.
That inquiry was extended to include
certain classes of women workers en-
bracing for the most part the better
paid occupations. AS many of the cot
ton weavers are women, what they are
paid will show the necessity for an in
crease of wages. especially as the cost
of living has increased 40 per cent. The
report of the above mentioned inquiry
shows that women weavers were paid
$40 a year. or $136 a day and these
are the highest paid operatives except
a few men who manage and care for
the machinery. Some of the employees
are paid as little as 80 cents day.
Five or even 10 per cent increase will
hardly leave these workers anything
after paying their bills, in these times
of high prices and trust prosperity.
The republicans will have to exhibit
a better showing than this to stop the
revolt of the working people against
the republican party.

out Upon the Itinerant Salesman.

An ordinance was proposed at last
evenings meeting of the city council
which is likely to result in an increase
in the license fees for itinerant sales
men. street corner fakirs and frauds OF
all kinds. Such a proceeding on the
part of the city is in the interest of the
legitimate merchant who has right
to claim protection at the hands of the
municipality from the imposters and
humbugs of every, nature.
The city should make the license so
high that this style of business will be
practically barred from the city, and
thus. in addition to diverting trade into
the proper channels. eliminate the spec
tacles that during the summer season
are presented in the public places
Only the business that is conducted
on its merits should be encouraged

The Beef Packers Victory.

Former United States Senator Ma
son of Illinois charges Congressman
Lorimer was instrumental in mutilat-
ing the meat inspection bill in the in
terest Of the beef trust. In a charac-
teristic speech he said:
1T was the influence of LOrimer that
took of the stamping and dating of
cans of preserved meats. and | charge
that this was done in violation of the
common law of decency.
He secured in the interests of the
packers. an amendment OF the bill
whereby the marking is left so you
cannot tell whether the goods you are
buying is five days or fifteen years
old. and left il so if you have the temer-
ity TO inquire what you are paying for,
the packer can reply: Why, you poor,
dear. pin-headed American citizen, it's
none of your business"
What were the other republican con-
Sressmen doing and why did President
Roosevelt sign the bill when he declar-
ed that without the stamping of dates
the public would not be protected and
the bill would be very. very bad?"
1t must also be remembered that the

30 million dollars while today there
are thirty-eight. We are now recog-

most reliable for over so years. No

better known by her pen name, john

apparently from heart failure.
For the past fortnight Mrs. Craigie

Mrs. Craigie or John Oliver Hobbies,
the pen name under which she won
her fame as a writer of novels and
plays, was of American birth, but had
lived in England for so many years,
and her writings were SO thoroughly
English. that to the general reading
world she had long been regarded as
an Englishwoman.
Mrs. Craigie was first a novelist be-
fore she won success as a play writer.
She was born in Boston Nov. ,, 1867.
but her father, John Morgan Richards,
made his home in England soon after
wards. AS girl, Mrs. Craigie was ed
ucated first privately by tutors then
in Paris, and later in London, where
she was pupil at University college.
There she studied the classics so en-

yilest word in the Times dictionary.
he it doesn't make such requirement,
then bis voluntary services must be
greatly appreciated. Below IS a SEN
tence taken from the report of last
nights convention:
mo delegates were recognized by
the convention and there is no way
for the public to ascertain whether
the nomination Of the candidate for
the head of the ticket was made by
Republican delegates or anarchists"
We are at a loss to know Just
whom the reporter is driving at,
whether DR.. Janlison, tho chairman
of the convention, Mr.. Crane, the sec
rotary of the executive committee,
Captain shroyer, who made a motion
to nominate by acclamation, or the
personnel Of the delegates present.
We think it is rather poor taste for
young Republican reporter to use a
Democratic paper as q medium for
calling representative citizens of the
town anarchists and the action has
been the subject Of much converse,
ton on the streets to-day
