RECEIVERS FOR BREWERS
Named by Kansas Supreme Court
to Take Charge of Property.
Allen, Whtcomb and Carver Of Tope.
ka-MiIwaukee Breweres Pre-
pare to Fight Proceedings.

Topeka, April 25,--The supreme
court Wednesday appointed Judge 5.
H. Allen, G. w. Whitcomb and Judge
r.. f. Carver all of Topeka as receiv-
ers for the Kansas property OF the
brewing companies against which GUST
err proceedings have been filed to pre-
vent their continuing business in the
state in defiance of the prohibitory
law. The court fixed the joint bond
of the three receivers at $4,000 which
was furnished.
AS soon as the receivers are formal
ly in charge they will take steps to
abate the nuisances which have been
flourishing in different places which
are owned or controlled by the brew
ers. This will mean the closing OF
the brewery-owned joints in the
state and it is believed that this will
include the majority of places now in
operation in Atchison, Leavenworth,
Pittsburg, Topeka and some other
towns. In Wichita the saloons al
ready have closed and it is understood
that the fixtures have been moved
from the state.

Delicate in the Old Home; Better

Churchbridge, Sask.,
December LIST, 1906.
To the Editor.
Dear Sir,
came to this country from the
State of Wisconsin three years ago,
and must say that am greatly pleased
with the outlook in this western cOun-
try. For my own part | am entirely
satisfied with the progress | have
made since coming here. have raised
excellent crops of grain of all varie-
ties. Last season my wheat averaged
23 bushels of wheat to the acre, oats
60 and barley 40.
We had a splendid garden this year,
ripening successfully tomatoes, musk
melons, water melons, sweet corn and
kindred sorts.
The country is well adapted to
wheat growing and mixed farming. and
TO my mind it is the best country un-
der the sun for a man with family
and small means, as 1t is possible for
a man to commence farming opera
lions with much less capital than is
required in the older settled countries.
The climate is all that could be de-
sired. being very healthy and invigor-
ating.
My wife came out about six months
ago, and although inclined to be deli
cate in the old home. she has enjoyed
the best of health since coming here.
In short, l am more than satisfied
with the land of my adoption, and |
am also satisfied with the laws of the
country.
Yours very truly,
(Signed) JOHN LANGDON.

The labor argus. [volume] (Charleston, W. Va.) 1906-1915, 1907-11-07
THURSDAY. NOV. 7, 1907.
LET'S GET TOGETHER.

In order to create more enthusi-
assn and secure the cooperation OF
the trade unionists in the efforts
now being made by the Trades
Assembly committee to thorough y
organize the city there ought to be
a series of meetings this fall and
winter held under the auspices OF
organized labor.
We off'e: the following as a sug-
gestion: That the meetings be held
undcr the auspices OF the Trades
Assembly and that at least two
meetings be held each month, the
meetings to be taken charge Of 10y
one of the local unions. For ex-
ample, lets say that Painters SIR
range for one meeting, get up the
program, etc., then le the C;lrpen-
tiers, Printers, Musicians, TailorS,
Bricklayers, follow in turn. Each
union would endcavor to have
something unique and instructive
and would serve to create more in,
terest in the movement and would
result in the workers getting closer
togelh her and establish more har-
monious relations in the future.
What we want is more enthuSi-
asm; more real old fashioned hard
work The time is not far distant
when our unions will be worth
more to us than they have ever
been.
If the signs of the times indicate
anything, we are reaching crisis
OF some kind and it may be OK.
IRENE hard times, and we all know
that the first people to suffer are
the working classes. We can only
prepare to meet this by education,
which can only come from discus
sing the questions of the hour and
by careful investigation. The un-
ion men must get closer together
and stick regardless of the efforts
of the ''open shoppers and the
partisan politicians to divide them
and cause all the friction possible
within their ranks.
Let's start The ball to rolling at
once. What local union will take
the initiative!

OUR BANKS.

Never was the soundness of
Charleston banks, and the good
judgement and business sapacjtv of
the1r managers, more clearly mani
tested. than when they anticjnatcd
the financial furry in the east, and
took immediate action to protect
their depositors, and the business
interests of the city generally.
1t is quite possible that there
was no occasion for alarm, but the
pressure upon New York banks
Justified the taking of such prccar-
tlonary measures as would avert
any disturbance of the normal
financial quietude of Qua city
The people of the city took 4
philosophical view of the situation
They had the utmost confidence in
the men having the custody of
their finances. There was not even
hurry OF excitement. Depositors
instead Of being worried acuuiescel
IN the action OF the banks and com.

DEFEAT IABOR,S ENEMY.

The first Monday in next month
the sixtieth Congress Will convene.
The members of the House Of
Representatives viii proceed to
elect a Speaker upon that day.
Usually the candidate Of the
caucus of the majority party is
elected Speaker. The Honorable
Joseph G.. Cannon has been Speak
er in the past two Congresses, and
unless the wellfknown opposition
to his methods, even in his own par
ty other parties orIelements in the
House, is brought into co-opcra-
ton, Mr.. Cannon will uuquestion-
ably be again elected to that posi-
ton, and that election will prac-
tIcally mean an endorsement of his
past and give him full range to
carry out that policy in the future.
recognizing all that Mr.. Cannon
has stood for in opposition to pro-
gressive legislation in the interest
VI ldDOf,S hcncc IN The interest OF
all the people, we address the men
OF organized labor Of the country,
SO that by common concert Of
action Of all some Representative
III Congress may be elected Speaker
who is more in harmony with the
trend OF progressive, reiormotory
legislation; who will aid in restor-
ing the House of Representatives
to the important position as Il de-
Lucrative assembly representing

American Federation of Labor in a
letter to all members of organized
labor asks the prompt cooper
alton of labor of the United States

Care of EYEGLASSES,

1t is unfortunately a very common
practice with wearerS of glasses to re
move them from the eyes, breathe on
them and then wipe them with clean
handkerchief. This is most SloVenly
habit, and not only that, but 1t will
have a tendency. to make the glass
grimy and consequently injurious to
the eyes, Glasses should be washed
as often as is necessary in water as
hot as would be used for table glass.
A little ammonia may be added to this
water and the lens should be very care
fully wiped on a soft cotton or linen
fabric. Thus treated they will be kept
perfectly clean. They should never be
put in the pocket without a case, for
if the frame becomes even slightly bent
the lens will not be true and the eyes
may suffer from their use.
