wealth who tends to unite the working
men by lack of sympathy and uncom-
promising hostility to them. He ad-
mits that a class grievance unrem-
.died breeds class consciousness.
The movement for thorough control
of the business use Of the great wealth
employed In interstate commerce, he
says, is conservative, only this policy
being likely to save us ''from pluto
cratic class government on the one
hand or Socialist class government on
the other" Nevertheless he insists that
power should be lodged with the ex-
ecutive to permit combinations which
further the public interest" He be-
lieves that the courts have not the
knowledge or experience to determine
this question. Unless a national in
corporation law can be enacted the
president believes that an efficient ex-
ecutive body should be created with
power to correct abuses and work out
complex problems and with power par
ticularly to- control the issuance Of
corporate securities. He believes It
not possible wholly to except labor or
ganization from the workings of the
antitrust law, but says that it is obvi-
Gus that such organizations not formed
for profit should not be required to fur
nish statistics of their operations, es-
pecially in so far as they are engaged
in production only.
In speaking Of the man who breaches
hatred of wealth be finds a counter
part in the northumberland, "of whom
1t has been Well said that his face has
grown hard and cruel while his body
has grown soft, whose son is a fool
and his daughter a foreign princess,
WHOSE nominal pleasures are at best
those of a tasteless and extravagant
luxury and whose real delight, whose
real life work, is the accumulation and
use of power in it's most sordid and
least elevating FORM"
Taft Gene to Panama.

bility of such a visit for some time,

CONGRESSIONAL
scant Courtesy to Message.

Scant Courtesy to Message.
The circumstances attending the re
ceipt of the latest radical message
from the president showed that the
majority leaders were not altogether
pleased with it. 1T was delivered to
the senate right after the final vote on
the naval bill at the end of q day of
exciting debate. The clerk had barely
begun the reading when Senator Al
drich, tile Republican leader, suggested
that the reading be postponed until
next day, and upon motion of Senator
Foraker the senate adjourned. The
reading also was postponed until next
day In the house. Even then it was
delayed all day and referred by Speak
err Cannon TO the judiciary committee,
which is known facetiously as 'the
morgue' because so many bills have
died in 1t.
Senate For Two BattIeships.
When the Piles amendment to the
naval bill providingt for the construc-
ton of four instead of the two battle
ships authorized by the house was TAX
en- up for consideration in the senate
Aldrich led Of with sharp rebuke for
Beveridge and all who INDUCED in war
talk TO justify Increased naval expendi-
ture. He said that Beverage had no
authority to speak for the president
in suggesting impending trouble with
a foreign nation. Lodge replied that
he would vote for four more ships as
a peace measure, while Beveridge de-
MED that lac had claimed to voice the
presidents views. In spite of I'LL the
influence which the president could
bring to bear over Sunday. the amend
ment was rejected by the vote of 80
to %. Among those who opposed the
plan were not only the reactionary
senators, but several on both sides who
on other questions have supported ,the
presidents policies. The president ac-
|cepted his defeat with the comment
that at least the fight had forced an
lmmediat Variability Of $7,O0O.OO0 and
had committed congress to the policy
of two battleships year.
Agree on More Army Pay.
Agreement was reached by the hous,
and senate, conferees on the army pay
bill. AS II stands the bill makes, o
$500 increase for the higher officers
except the general and lieutenant gen.
eral, 5000 more for captains. $500 TO,

Twenty representatives of the Pub

Mediation offered at Chester.

In response to urgings by representa-
tives of the business interests of Ches-
ter, Pa. and of the striking railway
men there Chairman Knapp of the in
terstate commerce commission and La
Dor Commissioner Neill consented to
offer themselves as mediators between
the traction company Of Chester and
the striking employees. The delega-
ton which visited Washington told the
commissioners that the strike was ruin
ing both commerce andrindustry.
"Open Shop Bridge Blown Up.
The new Bristol county bridge span
ming the Taunton river between Fal!
up with dynamite. The bridge is be-
ing built by the Holbrook, Cabot &
Rollins corporation of Boston, which
maintains the "open shop" and as sew
eral of their other bridges have met
with the same fate it is believed that
the cause of the trouble is the COM
pany's independence of the unions.
Damage done to the Bristol bridge was
$4,000.
Three Cent Fares a Fact.
April % was a day of rejoicing and
of free street car rides at Cleveland,
o., when the city celebrated Mayor
Tom L. Johnson's success in bringing
about the transfer to the Municipal
Traction company of all the street rail-
way lines in the city on three cent
fare basis. The celebration will be
repeated each year on April 2S. From
May Z transfers will be issued for 1

will be free.
Forewomen May Work.
President Gompers of the American
Federation of Labor, in ordering the
reinstatement of the forewoman of an
Indiana hat factory who was dis
charged because she trimmed a hat as
part of her days work, ruled that "a
forelady has an unquestioned right to
assist in the performance of any work
and that foremen and foreladies are
required not only to superintend work,
but to do work themselves"

LYDIA E. PINKHAM ,

: Nature and a woman's work COM
bined have produced the grandest
remedy for woman's ills that the
world has ever known.
In the good fashioned days Of
our grandmothers they relied upon
the roots and herbs of the field to
cure disease and mitigate suffering.
The Indians on our Western
Plains to-day can produce roots and
herbs for every ailment, and cure
diseases that battle the most skilled
physicians who have spent years in
the study of drugs.
From the roots and herbs of the
field Lydia E. Pinkham more than
thirty years ago gave to the women
of the world remedy for their Pc
culiar ills, more potent and effica-
cious than any combination of drugs.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is now recognized as the
standard remedy for woman's -.
Mrs. Bertha Muff, of 515 NC. 81,
Louisiana, Mo-, writes:
Complete restoration to health
means so much to me that for the sake
of other suffering women 1 am willing
to make my troubles public.
"For twelve years 1 had been suffer-
ing with the worst forms of female ills.
During that time had eleven different
physicians without help. No tongue
can tell what / suffered, and at times
could hardly walk. About two years
ago l wrote Mrs. Pinkham for advice.
followed it, and can truly say that
Lydia r. Pinlsham's Vegetable Com
pound and Mrs. Pinkham's advice re-
stored health and strength. It is
worth mountains of gold to suffering
women"
What Lydia f. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound did for Mrs. Muff,
it will do for other suffering women.
