Verdict for DR.. Pierce
AGAINST THE
ladies' Home Journal.

Sending truth after lie. It is an old
maxim that "a lie will travel seven
leagues while truth is getting its boots
on !" and no doubt hundreds of thousands
of good people read the unwarranted and
malicious attack upon DR.. Z. V. Pierce
and his wFayorite Prescription published
IN the Nav Q90D number of the Ladies'
Home Journal, with its great black dis
play headings, who never saw the hum.
Bic. Croveling retraction, with its incon.
spicuous heading, published two months
later It was boldly charged in the slands

woman's weaknesses and ailments, con-
tanned alcohol and other harmful ingredi-
ents. DIR. Pierce promptly brought suit
against the publishers of the Ladies'
Home Journal, for 5000, 90 damages. !
DR.. Pierce alleged that Mr.. Box, the
editor, maliciously published the article
containing such false and defamatorI
matter WITTY the Intent OF inJuring hiS

These facts were also proven in the trial o
the action in the Supreme Court. But the
business of Dr. Pierce was greatly injured ~
the publication of the libelous article with
Its great display headings. while hundreds or
thousands who read the wicledly defamatory
article never saw the humble groveling res

address before the international
homeopathic congress yesterday, Pro-
fessor Charles MOhr of Hahnemann
Medican college, Philadelphia, took
for his subject the effect of tobacco
on the human system. He said it

so declared that the majority of boys
brought before Justice courts were
liberal users of tobacco.

Portland. Maine, Sept. 11.-Gover-
nor William T. Cobb of Rockland, re-
publican, standing on a platform de-
voted almost exclusively to the con-
tinuance of the prohibitory law, was
reelected yesterday by plurality OF
less than 5000, with but few ex-
ceptions the smallest margin of votes
ever given to a republican governor
in Maine.
More interesting from a certain
standpoint was the reelection of Con-
gresham Charles E. Littlefeld, re-
publican, in the second district, by a
greatly reduced plurality. Littlefeld's
candidacy was the subject of bitter
opposition on the yart of Samuel
Gompers, president of the American
federation of labor, who asked for
his defeat on the grounds that he had
voted against certain labor measures
at the last session of congress. For
three weeks the district has been the
scene of a hard fight in which Secre-
tary of War Taft, Senators Lodge and
were pitted against Gompers.
Beverage and several congressman
Littlefeld's plurality is estimated at
about 1000. Congressman Edwin G.
Burleigh, republican, was reelected in
the third district by plurality of
1000, and Congressman Llewellyn
Powers, republican, in the fourth dis
trict, by a plurality of 1000. The re-
election of Congressman Ames L.

by the republicans.

RAISING MINE WAGES.

About the best Thanksgiving news
was the announcement by Mr.. New
house that the employees of the Cactus
VIII have an advance in wages on De-
cember l. and the simultaneous agree
ment of all the Bingham operators to
raise the wages of their underground
woIkmen on the same date. Just how
many men will be affected by the In
crease is not known yet, but the num-
Der Is larga and the amount will run.
into big figures.
Not only in the money involved, bat
liz the spirit shown, the advance is n
splendid thing for the state as well as
for the mining industry itself There
had been no concerted demand from
the men. but the operators recognized
tneir right to share in the prosperity
which has come from the advance in
copper
Utah has always been fortunate in
t!'o relations existing between the en-
ployers of large forces and their en-
ployes; and voluntary action Of this
srrt will go a long way toward perpet-
uating the friendly feeling that has
characterized mining operations in the
state.
The movement for an advance in
wages has a still larger significance.
II means that the men who direct the
mines of Utah have confidence in the
fusure of the industry and believe the
urecpnt .roSDarolfs conditions ara lil-c
y to continue. Their confidence is
based on knowledge OF the general
financial situation, familiarity with th =
supply and demand for copper and the
cheerful assurance that investors gen-
eIally have almost uRbounded faith in
the stability Of conditions in this state
Utah has a good deal 10 feel good
about and nothing can contribute more
TO the general good feeling than this
practical proof that things are going
we'll with it's mines.

TILLMAN AND TIE NEGRO.

Senator Tillman. like the mustard
plaster of commerce. may be useful as
a counter-irritant, but he certainly fails
as a steady article of diet. His latest
outbreak happened in Chicago, where
he delivered an address that was orig
inally meant to discuss the ACCESSIBILITY
of Cuban annexation. but was changed
into fiery discourse on the race prob
lem.
Because some Chicago colored folks
made foolish threats, the senator was
guarded by a special police detail whose
chief value seems to have been as an
advertisement of the lecture, but, need
less to say. no attempt at violence was
made although the address itself fur
nished provocation enough to fncite an
outbreak in some communities.
The gist of Tillman's talk was in his
declaration that the law guaranteeing
equality to all citizens without regard
10 race. color or previous condition OF
servitude is a dead letter in the south,
and always will be; that the white race
is of superior clay, will not submit to
negro domination and cannot be CO.
creed or scared into changing its atti-
tude. In violent language he defied the
law and charged the north with respon-
sibility for much of the crime of the
negroes of the south. Modestly enough,
Mr.. Tillman said he was better quail
fed to speak on the subject than any
other man in the country.
Now there can be no question as to
Tillman's courage, his sincerity or his
knowledge of one side of the question.
but such talks as his do infinite harm
in the prejudices they engender and the
bitterness that follows. The negro is
handicapped by generations of injustice
at the hands of the whites; he has had
no opportunity for development until
within the past forty years, whereas the
white race has had centuries of growth
I'm comparative liberty. Whether the
black is fit for citizenship or not, the
responsibility for his presence in this
country and for his future fate rests
with the white people of America. The
problem is the greatest of the age for
the American people. 1t cannot be
solved by such talk as Tillman's on one
side or the misguided sentimentalism
of northern philanthropists on the
