COOPER met USUAL
SUCCESS IN PITTSBURG
Received Thanks from, Hundreds While in
the Smoky City.

Cooror's claim that the human stom-
ach Is degenerate Is distinctly verified.
One of the most unusual statements
was made by Mr.. G. W. Woods, OF 1913
South Highland Street. lie said For
four years my wife was In very poor
health. She was weak and thin, with
hectic flush and cough. Physicians
said she had consumption, and was
inclined to believe them. 1t certainly
looked as though her days were num-
borel, and there appeared TO be very
little ground for hope.
"Shortly after Mr. Cooper came to
PittsburE began to hear of wonderful
results that had been obtained by per-
sons who had tried mis- medicine so
got sore Ior my wife. She had taken
it only TWO days when she was relieved
Of tapeworm A. feet long. She be-
gan to improve lmmediately-has gain
ed seven pounds since she began taxi
Ing the medicine She feels splendid
and looks very mucn better. II any
one doubts this statement | would be
pleased to have them call at my house
and yorif~ It. ,"
The Cooper remedies are be.
coming justly famous. We sell them.

Sins of Railroads Are to Be
Made Campaign Issues.
President Truesdale of Lacka-
wanna Sees Danger.
ALIENATION OF MEN
Removes Chief Political Influ.
ence From Roads.
Other Items of Interest in
Railway Circles.

The underlying cause Of all the
general indiscriminate abuses of
the railways and their management"
and of the "paralytic stroke which
they have suffered. was attributed to-
day by w. H. Truesda1e, president of
the Delaware. Lackawanna & Western
railroad. to the alleged plans of the
great political parties to make the
sins of the railroads the leading
political issue of the coming cam
paign. This statement was made in
Mr.. Truesdale's annual report to the
stockholders of the road. He began
by saying that the outlook for 1908
as respects railway earnings was any
thing but encouraging. Opinion as
to the causes of existing conditions
differed widely. he said, put there has
been engendered a very deep and
widespread ddstrust of the manage
ment and financial standing and
soundness of all the railways of the
country" Continuing. he said:
''The two great political parties of
coming presidential campaigns, make
the sins of the railroads and their
management, and drastic correction
Of same. their leading issues and
herein may be found the real under
lying cause Of all the general. in
and their management. and OF the
paralytic stroke which they and all
interests connected with them have
suffered.
with great foresight and shrewd-
ness those who have planned and are
responsible for this political pro-
sramme, have aaienaHed from the
railways the chief political influence
that they might and should have
every reason to expect would use their
influence to protect them against a
campaign of this kind-their own en-
ployes. This has been accomplished
by the passage Of certain laws gov
erning the hours Of service, wages,
conditions of employment generally.
and others more far-reachins have
been promised and are now pending"
After declaring that the sweeping
denunciation Of the managing
authorities has weakened their
authority over their employees, Mr..
Truesdafe added:
The tendency, furthermore. to
place the control of the railways and
their operations. down to the min
utest detail in the hands Of public
officers. boards or commissions, all Of
which are subject to political in
huences to a greater or less degree
is by no means hopeful of reassuring
as respects the future value or
efficiency Of the trausp ortation facili-
ties OF the country"

der wise use Of it for the good of the
union" The convention was staggered
and speechless for a few minutes, then
accepted the gift by a rising vote.
Later, q committee of Ave was ap-
pointed to take over the gift, care for
it. and suggest some way to use 1t. 1t
was deposited In a Philadelphia bank
at interest and the committee suggest
ed that it lie there for five years, and
that every year during the five every
union printer living east of the M1ssls-
sippi river contribute an amount equal
to the price of 1000 ems or one nour
work. on Mr. Childs' birthday, the 18th
of May, and that every union printer
living west of the Mississippi river do
likewise on Mr.. Drexelps birthday. the
18th of September, and that such con-
tributions be added from year to year
to the original gift. And that was
done.
In the meantime the home idea was
revived and began to grow. By June.
1889, when the convention met in Den
yer, the sum in bank had swelled to
$22, 900 with two more years to run. The
Colorado Springs printers had got busy
and they carried to the Denver conven-
ton a proposition from the Colorado
Springs Board of Trade offering to deed
to the International Typographical
Union a tract of eighty acres of land
adjoining the city limits, if the Union
would contract to begin within two
years, the construction of a home"
building on said land, to cost not less
than $4,000. The convention accepted
the gift of the land subject to a refer
endum vote of the local unions, coupled
with a proposition for a tax of ten
cents per month for home purposes,
and both carried almost unanimously.
In 1890 the convention met in Atlanta
Ga, in June, and found the home fund
grown to about $50, 600 Colorado Springs
citizens subscribed and paid in 81, 900

States had reached and passed the sum
Of one thousand million dollars, IAN

which all citizens of our republic,

by the national president Of the Typo

at the dedication.
The illustration shows the main build

In 1857, a little more than half a cen
fury ago, a printer by the name Of
William s. Bond suggested to the Ma
tional Typographical union, then in ses-
sion in New Orleans, the idea of found
ing home for aged and inf1rm printers.
The subject was not seriously consider
ed at that time. It was introduced
again in the 1860 convention and laid
on the table where 1t remained until
1870, when, at Cincinnati, Joseph
Strickland, a delegate from Leaven-
worth Kan, revived it and presented
the outline Of plan for the establish
ment and conduct of a home. By vote
the convention decided that it was an
impracticable scheme. At the 1877 con-
vention it was again introduced, and
voted down. The 1882 convention took
it up again and designated the interna-
tional officers as a committee to con-
slider it, which they did not do ser
iously.
In 1885, at the P1ttsburg convention,
the unexpected happened. Near the
close Of the convention James ]. Daley,
a Philadelphia printer and foreman OF
the Public Ledger, George W. Childs'
newspaper, invited the attention of the
presiding officer and sent to the secre-
tary's table a letter from Mr. ChiIds ac-
companied by check for 1000. In the
letter Mr.. Childs explained that one
half Of the amount was from his per-
SOnal friend and associate Mr. Anthony
J. Drexell, and that the whole amount
was given without condition or sug-
gestion Of any kind, as an absolute gift,
in full confidence that the sagacious
and conservative counsellors Of the
Typographical Union will make or or
