Brief Statute Of Limitations.

.atE 0Ttet 0tdSuSS OF IItntSdttOUSs
The law should not affect pending
suits; a short statute of limitations
should be provided, SO far as the past
is concerned, not to exceed year.
Moreover, and even more in the in
terest of labor than of business COM
binations, all such suits brought for
causes OF action heretofore occurred
should be brought only If the contract
or combination complained Of was un-
fair or unreasonable. 1t may be well
to remember that all of the suits hith-
erto brought by the government un-
der the antitrust law have been in
cases where the combination or con-
tract was in fact unfair, unreasonable
and against the public interests.

engine BLOWS
TAKES MAN
ALONG WITH IT

Cooperstown, N. D., March Us
While operating a gasoline traction
engine on his farm, Jorgan Soma was
badly burned about the hands and
face caused by the explosion of his
engine. Just what caused the explos-
ion no one can tell and it was done
without any previous warning to any
one. Mr.. Soma was standing on the
engine when there was roar and
bang and that is all he knows about
it only that he was badly damaged
and his elevator building burned
down together with considerable
grain. The engine is one of these
oil coolers and it is thought that the
explosion was caused by the oil clog
ging in the cylinders or something
like that. 1t is one OF the mysteries
that will probably never be explain
ed.
In addition to burning the build
ing we understand that the engine
was blown to pieces and the loss to
Mr.. Soma in addition to his injuries
will be quite sum- DR.. Brimi was
sent for immedia lately and went out
and administered all the relief pos
sible and we understand that Mr..
Soma will come out all right altho
he may carry few scars permanent
ly as a result of the burns. We
consider that he got out of the deal
luckily as he might have lost his
life.

whether it would not give greater
popular confidence in the impartiality

required that the issue should be de-

the contempt is committed in the

Should Amend Antitrust Law.
again call attention to the urgent
need of amending the interstate COM
merce law and especially the anti
trust law along the lines indicated in
my last message. The interstate COM
merce law should be amended so as
to give railroads the right to make
traffic agreements, subject to these
agreements being approved by the
interstate commerce commission and
published in all of their details.
The commission should also be
given the power to make public and
pass upon the issuance of all securi-
ties hereafter issued by railroads do
ing an interstate commerce business.
A law should be passed providing in
effect that when a federal court de-
termined to place a common carrier
or other public utility concern under
the sonta1l Ct rsceysrship the at
to nominate at least one of the receiv-
ers; or else in some other way the
interests Of the stockholders should
be consulted, so that the manage
ment may not be wholly redelivered
to the man or men the failure of
whose policy may have necessitated
creation of the receivership. Receiver
ships should be used, not to operate
the roads. but as speedily as possible
to pay their debts and return them to
the proper owners.

weapon for righting wrongs done to
labor and we should extend, so far as
possible, the process of Cancellation
and arbitration as a substitute for
strikes. Moreover, violence, disorder
and coercion, when committed in con

promptly and as sternly repressed as

Id Necessity for Labor Unions.
But strikes themselves are, and
should be, recognized to be entirely
legal. Combinations of workingmen
have peculiar reason for their eX-
istence. The very wealthy individual
employer, and still more the very
wealthy corporation, stand at an enor-
nous advantage when compared to
the individual workingman; and while
there are many cases where it may
not be necessary for laborers to form
a union in many other cases it is in
dispensable, for otherwise the thou
sands of small units, the thousands of
indiv1na 4Hferkingmen would be left
helpless in their dealing with the one
big unit--the big individual or cor
porate employer.
Twenty-Five years ago, by the act
Of June 20, 1885, trades unions were
recognized by law and the right of
laboring people to combine for all law
full purposes was formally recognized,
this right including combination for
mutual protection and benefits, the
regulation of wages, hours and condi-
lions Of labor and the protection of
the Individual rights of the workmen
in the prosecution of their trade or
trades; and in the act of June 1, 1898,
strikes were recognized as legal in
the same provision that forbade par
ticipation in or instigation of force or
violence against persons or property,
or, the attempt to prevent others from

PRESIDENTS MESSAGE

L.
20 the Senate and the House of Rep
resentatives:
call your attention to certain meas
ures as to which think there should
be action by the congress before the
close Of the present session. There
is ample time for their consideration.
AS regards most, If not all of the mat
tiers, bills have been introduced into
enc or the other of the houses and it
is not too much to hope that action
Will be taken one way or the other on
these bills at the present session. In
my message at the opening of the
present session and, indeed, in vari-
GUS messages to previous congresses
] have repeatedly suggested action on
most of these measures.
Child labor should be prohibited
throughout the nation. At least a
model child labor bill should be passed
Tor the District of Columbia.
1t is unfortunate that in the one
place solely dependent upon congress
for its legislation there should be no
law whatever to protect children by
forbidding or regulating child labor.
Employers Liability Law.
renew my recommendation for i'm
mediate re-enactment of an employers
liability law, drawn to conform to the
recent decision of the supreme court.
Within the limits indicated by the
court the law should be made thor
ough and comprehensive and the pro
lection 1t affords should embrace ey
cry class Of employee to which the
power of the congress can extend.
in addition to a liability law protect
Ing the employees Of common carriers
the government should show it's good
faith by enacting a further law giving
compensation to its own employees for
injury or death incurred in it's serv-
ice. 1t is a reproach to us as a ma
ton that In both federal and state
legislation we have afforded less pro-
tsction to public and private employees
than any other industrial country of
the world.
Limit Power Of Injunctions.
] also urge that action be taken
along the line Of the recommendation
! have already made concerning ind
functions in labor disputes. No tenn
porary restraining order should be is
sued by any court without notice;
and the petition for a permanent in

DRIVEN CRAZY BY TOBACCO
WOMAN USED WEED TO STOP
TOOTHACHE.
Acquired Habit Of Chewing on Old
Mans Advice and She Has
Ha1lucinations.

NEW YORK. August 19-One large wad
OF chewing tobacco inserted in the hollow
OF a tooth helped to send Mary Lewis of
6I3 Columbus avenue to the psychopathic
ward at Bellevue last week and to bring
her before city magistrate yesterday on
the technical charge of insanity.
There her mental condition was passed
upoa and her release ordered. The case is
said to be without precedent.
The patient. apparently thirty-eight
years old. never had been addicted to the
use of tobacco until two weeks ago. when
one of the teeth in her lower left jaw be-
gan to ache. and she was advised by an
generous portion and hold 1t In her
mouth. She did So and within three days
she had acquired the habit
The ache disappeared, but as 1t went
away Mary heard strange voices. A
graphophone with a strident voice called
upon her to be good and a troupe of chill
dren. all in white and numbering millions,
sang songs and reoited verses until she
became unable to sleep. She kept on
chewing tobacco. and the more she chewed
the louder became the tones Of the graph
ophone.
Into such condition did she drift that
it was deemed advisable to have her I'M
dergo an examination in the psychopathic
ward of Bellevue. where her case was
diagnosed as one of acute mania, with the
use of tobacco as the exciting and the
principal contributing cause. The gradual
deprivation of the tobacco resulted in re-
storing her to a nearly normal mental con-
dition, and her discharge was ordered.

The city of Houston, Tex, has a munc-

RoWDYISM IN FAIRGROUNDS.
Obligation Of a City to Maintain
Characterization Of Children.
From the Municipal Journal.


The appearance on two successive days
in the papers in two cities as far apart
as McKeesport Pa. and Cincinnati, Ohio.
of editorials calling attention to existing
rowdyism in the city Fairgrounds would
seem TO indicate the existence OF an i'm
perative need in many cities for better
control OF these annexes to the park sys-
tenn. Nor is this confined to the play
grounds only. for at about the same time
the police in Brooklyn were compelled to
begin a crusode against rowdyism and
vandalism in Prospect PAX in that city.
To provide general meeting place for
all classes and one which will probably
be frequented by great numbers. and
then to allow its use without any re-
straint whatever. is to invite trouble OF
this kind, since i'm every city there is
small percentage Of the population which
takes pleasure i'm creating just such
trouble as is here referred TO. A year
or TWO ago one of the Fairgrounds In
New York was allowed to reach such a
condition of rowdyism. obscenity and i'm
mortality that IL became a crying evil
much worse than its entire absence would
have been. The police departmnt was
finally persuaded to give the matter ade-
quate attention and a special officer.

and those who especially needed the bene-
fits OF fresh air because of bodily weak

We would not wish TO see the number
Of Fairgrounds now in use diminished by
a single one. but would rather see them
increased many fold in our cities: but
when they are established or accepted by

made for both the presence OF an in

children and teach them how to obtain
the fullest benefits from the advantages

1EN.THOUSAkD-DO GOWN
MISS MALoNEY TO BE MARRIED
IN IT.
Elaborate Trousseau Being Prepared
for Oil Magnate's Daugh-
ter's Wedding.

NEW YORK, August 19.-One of the
most elaborate trousseaus ever ordered
for a bride has been made up for Helen
Malney, daughter of the Standard Oil
magnate of Philadelphia. who is. it is
expected. soon to be married at Spring
Lake to Samuel Clarkson, the young man
with whom she is said to have eloped
about a year ago.
The wedding gown. which is not yet
fitted, will alone cost $4,000. 1t will
arrive in New York from Paris in a few
days.
Nine. Alice M. Dunstan. head of one of
the most fashionable modiste establish
ments in New York, was commissioned
by Mr.. Maloney to go abroad and spare
no expense in preparing the trousseau.
Nine. Dunstan says Of the trousseau:
'"The gown will be conventional in de-
sign but the materials will represent the
richest lace and satins procurable. Yards
upon yards of the finest lace will trim
the $4,000 dress. and the veil. of great
length and beautiful design. will come
from Brussels and alone cost $1,000. The
train will be of unusual length and will
be a mass of delicate lace"
Although attempts have been made to
observe secrecy. the preparation of the
elaborate rousseau could not be con-
cealed from persons in the trades pa
tronized by Nine. Dunstan. and it has be-
come as famous as the trousseau of Miss
Alice Roosevelt before her marriage to
Nicholas Longworth. 1t is stated. how
ever. that in extent and costliness the
trousseau cannot be compared to that Of
any other bride. Mr.. Maloney seems to
have intended to make the marriage Of
his daughter an event in which his wealth
should be staked to fill her every desire.
1t is reported that a special dispensation
had been received from Rome. which will
enable Miss Maloney and Mr.. Clarkson
to be married by priest of the Catholic
Church. This is one Of the greatest wishes
Of the father and mother.
