There is only one way TO cure deaf

this tube is infiamed you have a

TO THIS TAFT's PARTY HAS
BROUGHT AMERICAN WORKERS

Los ANGELES, Oct. 25.-IEditor
Herald: This mornings papers bring
me the recital of an incident at Red
lands that l regard as typical of the
conditions to which the much-vaunted
free American workingman has been
brought--or has brought himself-un-
der the rule OF monopoly.
One of the superfiuous out-of-work-
ers applied to a gentleman of the name
of j. P. Hird for a job. Mr.. Hird had
no Job, but he possessed what he
doubtless regards as a facetious turn
or mind, and he said: II will tell you
what I'll do. II you will stand for
nine hours on this spot-one foot
square-at the end of the performance
VIII give you $2." The bargain was
struck and the hapless out-of- worker
went through his task and earned his
money.
An unsophisticated innocent might
have supposed that the sight of such
wanton mockery would have stirred at
least semblance of Indignation among
the passers-by. but we are told that the
spectacle provoked amusement We
learn further that Taft and Sherman
sympathizers took advantage of this
helpless human sandwich by hanging
on his back appeals urging the intelli-
gent voter to support the God knows"
candidate.
doubt not that the victim had
driven home to him the full force of
the Republican argument, and | relate
this little story of real life in the hope
that others may see the light that one
hopes has now dawned on the citizen
to whom j. p. Hird so generously gave
employments ECONOMIST.

forever speaking vilely of the poor de-
luded creatures that face death, and
worse still, possible mutilation of their
bodies in order to give birth to the
reptiles that, ninety-nine times out of

stings as that coward, T. K. G., who,
i strongly suspect, is on the editorial
staff of The Herald paper. otherwise
the letters would not appear.
If the continued attacks on women
continue (and by women l mean those
who stand for better conditions in the
world, not wax dolls), movement will
he set afoot to have women withdraw
their patronage from this paper, which
will mean as much as the withdrawal
of a mans patronage when 1t comes to
dollars and cents. The wax dolls let
