ANSWER TO CLYDE GRIFFlTH'S
OPEN SHOP CRY.

Editor News: If space will permit
/ would like to say few words in an
swer to Mr.. Clyde Griffith in his an
swer to j. NJ. Griffith, on the union
and non-union questions. He says :
1st. That the in summer of 1905
and 1906, while the big strike was on
that the farmers could sell all they had
to sell where before they could not
give their stuff away. They never
gave me any. | was not at Whitwell
in 1905 and 1906 and don't know how
prosperous the farmers were, but |
lived in Whitwell from 1892 until 1902
and l do know thai the farmers could
sell all the farm products they brought
to market.
2nd. He says the reason the farmers
could not sell their stuff was because
the union miners were out on strike
six months of each year. Wonder
where he got his "edicationY" The
miners at Whitwell organized July 81,
1898, and l. being its first Local Presi-
dent, believe know something of the
conditions of the Whitwell miners.
The miners of Whitwell suspended
work one time until a settlement was
made and had two strikes. from July
II, 1898, until June 30, 1904, being
the time the T. G. l. & r. r. Co.
worked with the union.
He also says the union only worked
about $50 men, miners and company
men all together, and man could moi
get job.
The union did not employ any meT
oil I,,k hof rtx 10 ,
contract with the T. G. |. Co, they
demanded their right and did have /
say so about how many men went tC
work. The reason why they did this
was to prevent the company putting
so many men to work that none coult
make a living for their families.
| am not surprised to learn that the
company does not turn away any mel
now, because if they run their mines
they must have miners, and just any
thing that wears mems clothes can
dig coal.
Mr.. Griffith says he has tried all o
his life TO get job and could not ge
one until the company began working
open shop. Mr.. Griffith, you must b,
very young chap, for the compan.
| Only Workeu unlou slA years. VIVA
did you do before the union came t.
Whitwell. Answer requested.
l would say to Mr.. Griffith and al
non union miners of Whitwell, to rea,
the confession of Heart broken Min
er," of Tracy City, printed in re
cent issue of the News, and repent O
your sins before it is everlastingly to
late, for the union is not dead bu
is alive and will live forever, or a
long as coal is mined.
i AS this is the first time l. have ha
anything to say in the Whitwell trou
Bile, I will not undertake to answer a
that has been said about union an
non-u union matters.

Nothing will relieve Indigestion that
is not thorough digestant. KOdol di-
gests what you eat and allows the stom-
ach to rest-recuperate-g strong
again. KODOL is a solution of diges-
tive acids and as nearly as possible ap-
proximates the digestive juices that are
found in the stomach. KODOL takes
the work of digestion off the digestive
organs, and while performing this work
itself does greatly assist the stomach to
a thorough rest. In addition the in
gradients of 'KODOL are such as to
make it corrective of the highest
efficiency and by its action the stomach
is restored to its normal activity and
power. KODOL is manufactured in
strict conformity with the National
Pure Food and Drug Law. Sold by

"Oh dear, Use so tired and lonesome.
wonder why mamma don't come
She told me to shut up my blue eyes,
And fore | walked up she'd be home.
She said she was going to see gramma,
She lives by the river so bright,
| spect that my mama fell in there,
And perhaps she won't tum home to-
night.
dess I'm afraid to stay up here
Wi'vout any fire or light,
But Dod's lighted the lamps up in
heaven
| see EN- all twinkling and bright.
| fink I'll go down and meet papa.
I spose he has stopped at the store.
It's great pity store full of bottles;
Wish he wouldn't t go there any more.
Sometimes he is sick when he comes
home,
And he stumbles and falls on the stairs,
And once when heEomed in the par
lor
He kicked at my poor little chair,
And mama was all pale and frightened,
And hugged me up close to her breast,
And called me her poor little Blossom,
And ---dess I've fOrdotten the rest;
But l member that papa was angry,
His face was so red and so wild,
And | member he striked at poor ma
ma
And hurted his poor little child;
But love him, | dess I'll go find him,
And perhaps he'll tome home with me
soon,
And den it won't be dark and lonely
Waiting for mama to tome.
Out into the night went the baby,
Her little heart beating with fright,
Till the tired feet reached the gin pal
ace
All radient with music and light.
The little hand pushed the door open,
Though her touch was as light as
breath,
The little feet entered the portal
That leads men to ruin and death.
"Oh, papa" she cried,as she reached
him;
Her voice rippled out sweet and clear
II thought il coined would find yor
And | is so glad is here.
The lights are so pity, dear papa,
And find that the music's so sweet,
But dess it's most supper time, papa
For Bl 1ssom wants something TO eat. ;,
A moment the bleared eyes gazed wild
ly
Down into the face sweet and fair,
And then as the demon possessed him
He grasped at the back of a chair.
A moment, a second twas over,
The work of fiend was complete,
And poor little, innocent Blossom
Law Guivering and crushed at his feet
Then swift as the light came his reas
on,
And showed him the deed he had done
y ith groan that the devil might pity
He knelt by the quivering form.
He pressed the pale face to his bosom,
He lifted the fair golden head,
A moment the baby's lips trembled,
And then little Blossom was dead.
Then in came the law so majestic
And said with his life he must pay;
That only tiend or madman
Could murder child in that way,
But the man who had sold him tn
poison
That made him demon of hell,
Why, he must be loved and respected
Because he was licensed to sell.
He may b,you of your friends and
money,
Send you to perdition and woe,
But so long as he pays for his license,
The law must protect him, you know
cod pity the women and children
That are under The juggernaut, Ram
And to hasten the day against 1T,
Neither heart, voice, nor pen shall
dumb.

An extra session of the Kansas
Legislature will cost many thous-
ands of dollars, two or three thous-
and per day. If an extra session is
called the tax payers of the state
ought to howl the very roof off the
state house. But they won't. They
will submissively whack up the
cost of the grand stand play with
out protest.-Wichita Eagle.
No doubt of that fact. While
they know that body refused to

Several days after Mr.. Taft's
Columbus speech Senator Foraker
gave out an interview which the
Associated Press sums up in this
way: "That Secretary Taft is los
ing ground in Ohio, although if
nominated all republicans will
support him. That his controversy
with the president is over the ques-
ton whether a public servant shall
do his own thinking. That if Sec
rotary Taft is correct in saying that
there are evils in the tariff they ought
to be removed at enee,. witheur
waiting eighteen months. That
the secretary is WRONG la saying
that another great body of repubii-
cans desired the tariff revised either
now or eighteen months hence.
That the rate bill instead of
Strengthening the Elkins bill weak
ems it. That through an amend
ment inserted by Senator Lodge, a
friend of the administration, the
harm was done as his amendment
required proof that an offense was
knowingly done. That if the
Standard Oil rebate offences had
been committed after this amend
ment the word knowingly would
have cost the United States $780,
100000 in fines in Judge Lands
court. That the unfortunate cir
cumstances' which Judge Taft
speaks of in describing the elimi-
nation of Imprisonment from the
Elkins law was made at the sug-
gestion of the interstate commerce
commission itself"

Why should congress convene at
all before another presidential
election? Taft's slogan is do moth
ing until after the election, Can
non, Foraker and Fairbanks say
let we'll enough alone. Not a sin
gle measure is advocated by any of
the leaders and yet there is to be a
long session of congress and over
billion dollars squandered-and for
what? Merely to assure the pro-
tected interests that the tariff is not
to be mOlested.
