The Knockout Blow.

The blow which knocked out Corbett
was revelation to the prize fighters.
From the earliest days of the ring the
Knockout blow was aimed for the jaw,
the temple or the jugular ven. Stomach
punches were thrown in to worry and
weary the fighter, but If a scientific man
had told one of the old fighters that the
most vulnerable spot was the region of
the stomach, he'd have laughed at him
for an ignoramus. DR.. Pierce is bringing
home to the public a parallel fact; that
the stomach is the most vulnerable organ
out Of the prize ring as well as in it. We
protect our heads, throats, feet and lungs,
but the stomach we are utterly indiffer-
ent to, until disease finds the solar plexus
and knocks US out. Make your stomach
sound and strong by the use of Doctor
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, and
you protect yourself in your most vulner-
able spot. uGolden Medical Discovery"
cures "weak stomach" Indigestion, or
dyspepsia, torpid liver, bad, thin and i'm

gans of digestion and nutrition.
The UGolden Medical Discovery has

surfaces and hence cures catarrh, no
matter where located or what stage it
may have reached. In Nasal Catarrh 1t

BY Report of House Judiciary Com
nittee, which Says Child Labor
Problem Is In Police Power of the
States.
Washington, Feb. THE judi
ciary committee of the house, through
a report submitted by Chairman Jen-
kins, declares that congress has no
power to regulate woman and child
labor.
This decision fully sustains the po-
sition taken by Senator Bacon, of
Georgia, on the floor of the senate,
in reply to Senator Beveridge. Sen
ator Bacon contended that regulations
Of woman and child labor was a mat
ter that came entirely within the
province of the states, and that the
government could not assume juris-
dictiOn under the commerce clause of
the constitution.
The report of Chairman Jenkins was
in response to a resolution of con-
gress directing the judiciary COM
mittee to investigate as to the au
thority of congress to regulate such
employment.
The committee report declaring
that this authority is one within the
police power of the state, calls at
tention to how far modern ideas on
legislation have advanced, from those
held by the trainers of the constitu-
ton. The decision of the judiciary
committee confines the power of con-
gress within the limit of investigat-
ing conditions, ascertaining the facts,
and making a report on this subject
of woman and child labor.
This puts a very effectual damper
upon the bill of Senator Beveridge,
which seeks to have the government
forbid the transportation in interstate
commerce of articles made in a mill
or factory where child labor is en-
ployed.
The committee is of the opinion
that congress has no jurisdiction
over the subject of the women and
child labor, and has no authority to
suppress any causes Of such labor,
or ameIiorate conditions surrounding
the employment Of such laborers. -
In concluding it's report the house
cOmmitte saws: The national gov
ernment is too weak to undertake the
exercise of police powers of the state.
In short time this great nation
would be worse than a ship in mid
ocean in a great storm without a rud-
der or compass. The division of
power was wise and beneficial. Time
study and experience approve it, and
We should not attempt in an uncon-
stitutiorGl way the destruction of the
substrT"ture of our government. If ,
then, these two great powers of police
and commerce are separate and indie

Co,oDel Livingston was assured
that there would be no confusion
growing out of the Investigation into
the cotton exchanges of the country
by two departments Of the govern
ment. In fact, the postofice depart
ment and the department OF commerce
and labor will cooperate with each

few ORDERS THE CAUSE
But One TugbOat and a Single
Engine Are Needed TO
Handle Work.

Work on the Lehigh Valley docks
is almost at standstill. and old en-
ployes OF the company say that the
work at present is Stacker for this
time of the year than it has been in
many years.
In summer, of course. shipments
are few and work accordingly slack,
but never have | seen it so slack for
this time of year" said man In a
position to speak. The reason is CIV
en- that there are few orders, conse-
quently few shipments are being
made. The chief reason is given that
few tugs can be had TO haul the ship
ments due to a strike among tug boat
employees.
At present only one tug can be pro-
cured for local work. The tug Haver-
straw is doing the work. At other
times, when work is in full swing, as
many as six or seven tugs have been
In use. most of which are now tied up
at Jersey City and other places, due
to the strike.
At the docks only one dock Is in
use, with small gang of men, who
work only from two to three hours
daily Only one engine is doing duty
on the docks where, at other times
as many as five and six engines may
be seen drilling cars. Some of them
1t Is stated, are laid off for a day
others for week and some work
daily from II O'Clock to 2 or
O'Clock. officials of the company ad-
mitted this morning that work is very
slack but would not give any reasons
other than that few shipments are
being made, and the boat service is
crippled.
