President Roosevelt Des suggested
that the farmers throughout ne coun-
Try meet in the'scnool house to-mor-
row for the purpose of considering far
mers organize. ion education, improved
sanitary conditions on the farm etc.
Tne farmers of Kentucky have been
meeting in their school houses for sew
eraI years and eave been discussin mos
of the subjects suggested. They have
also been discussing ways and means
to. oonlbst the various trusts whicn
nave been endeavordng to put down the
prices of all articles produced on the
farm. In this endeavor we feel sure
tbst they have mad no greater aid tina
the President himself. 1t was through
lis activity and persistent efforts mai
ly that the American Tobacco Compan
received It's crushing blow from the
United States Court in recent de-
cision and which we believe, as much
as anything else. caused them 10 give
up the fight in Kentucky and pay the
price demanded by the growers for The
tobacco. We have not always agreed
with the President (Which mas no doubt
been exceedingly embarrassing TO him)
in all of mis- acts, but We do give him
full credit for the fight which lie
mas made throughout his adminislra-
tion to down the trusts and bring
about fair play in trade relations.

MFRS. EARNEST HOCHMUTH, 1901
lVl Maple St.. Dcs. Moines. Iowa,
writes: 1.-TWO years ago our lille boy,
Herman, was taken down with scarlet
fever. He took cold with it, and in
stead of the eruptions coming to the
surface they affected his lungs and
stomach. For weeks we watched by
his bedside, hardly expecting him to
live from one hour TO the next.
"Finally he became a little better and
was able to sit up. Then he commenced
to cough, and in spite of every thing we
could do he seemed to get worse all the
time. His coughing spells would last
until he was completely exhausted, and
his lungs hurt him great deal. Every
body thought he had consumption.
"One day, while at the drug store, my
husband saw a Peruna afnarac and
brought 1t home. We read in it per-
feet description of his case and we
thought we would try Peruna. We
bought q bottle, quit everything else,
and began giving him Peruna.
"By the time two-thirds of the bottle
was used the cough had almost gone.
After he had taken two bottles he was
perfectly cured. He has not seen sick
day since and is hearty, healthy boy.
ave shall always praise Pernna, for
1t saved our boys life."

Gave Up Work Because of
His Weakened Condition

Earl Mccoy, living at 1906 South
Branson street, Marion, Ind, has pass
ed through an experience that is being
duplicated every day in every town
and city of any consequence in the
United STATES. 1t furnishes abundant
proof of the correctness of L. T. Coop
er's theory in regard TO the degener-
acy of the human stomach, and shows
conclusively the merit possessed by
his New Discovery medicine to restore
the weakened system to the full
strength and vigor.
Mr. Mccoy says: For long time

trouble. | was unable TO retain any

seems to me that before the close of

for collection of full material which
will enable the congress elected next

tate some action by the congress ut

AS TO UNIONS AND STRIKES
Peaceful Com bination for Legal Pur.
puse the Right of All.


It is important that we should en-
courage agreements between employer
and employe where they are just and
fair. 4 strike is a clumsy weapon fol-
righting wrongs done 10 labor, and we
should extend, so far as possible, tfls
process of Cancellation and arbitration
as substitute for strikes. Moreover
violence, disorder and coercion, when
committed in connection with strikes,
should be as promptly and as sternly
repreSsed as when committed in any
other connection. But strikes them
selves are, and should be. recognized
to be entirely legal. Combinations of
wOrkingmen have Il peculiar reason for
their existence. The very wealthy in
dividual emrloyer-and still more the
very wealthy corporation-standa at an
enormous advantage when compared
to the individual workingman.
twenty-five years ago, by the act OF
June 30, 1886, trades unions were rec
ognized by law, and the right of labor
ing people to combine for all lawful
purposes was formally recognized, this
right including combination for mutual
protection and benefits. the regulation
of wages hours and conditions of la
bor and the protection of the indi-
vidual 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 participation in
! or instigation of force or violence
against persons or property, or the at:
| tempt to prevent others from working
: by violence threat, or intimidation.
| The business man must be protected
| in person aid property and so must
| the farmer and the wageworller; and
as regards all alike the right of peace
full combination for all lawful pur-
poses should be explicitly recognized.
| The light of employers to combine
and contract with one another and with
| their employees should be explicitly rec
ognized. and so should the right of the
employees to combine and to contract
with one another and with the en-
| ployers, and to seek peaceably to per-
suade others TO accept their views,
and TO strike for the purpose of peace
! ably obtaining from employers salts
| factory terms for their labor. Nothing
! should be done to legalize either a
: blacklist or a boycott that would be
! illegal ut common law: this being the
type of boycott defined and condemned
! by the anthracite strike commission.
