BELIEVES COMBINE WOULD
SETTLE LABOR QUESTION

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 16.-[ Editor
Herald Permit me to emphasize the
new way of settling the labor question.
Though new at least two books have
been written already on it-so it's not
impractical or visionary. The basis OF
it is MAKE it to their self interest to
be fair and square and men will be,
but not till then. Brotherly love won
do it, Socialism won't do 1t, but COM
bine does do it, only as between share
holder l cheerfully admit corporations
cannot go outside of their own concern
In declaring dividends. The concern of
one shareholder becomes the concern
of all shareholders, thus eliminating
competition in business. Competition Is
the underlying cause of the labor trou-
BILE. Corporations have and are solving
the great industrial problem and we
do well to look into their methods ana
see if these methods are not immediate
ly applicable to all the people
At present Incorporation gives priVl-
lege to a few men. Special privileges
are un-American. There are two pro-
cedures, either to destroy combine or
extend it to all Americans. To destroy
would be to stop the progress of Amer
lean civilization. The only alternative
is to extend the combine idea TO IN
clude all Americans is fellow share
holders, not part of but a counterpart
of all Americans as fellow citizensi II
the one is practical so is the other. The
invincible progress of combine compels
lis TO give attention and utilize Its
power if possible. How shall all get
in? 1t ought not to be difficult to get
in when everybody wants to get in. and
everybody wants every body to get in.
There is indeed no difficulty in the way
that cannot be Immediately overcome
T am here to answer any question or
remove anv doubt. DIR. SMITH.

Typhoid in
Impure Water

In nearly every case, typhoid
as we'll as malaria, dysentery and
the other hot weather complaints
that so often end fatally, has been
traced to impure water.
Because to the naked eye. the
water appears clear is no guaran-
tee that it is pure. Often one has
but to look at it through a magni-
flying glass to see millions OF
deadly microbes.
The water supply in many
country places, small towns and
summer resorts at times becomes
contaminated with sewage and
other impurities, owing to one or
another of several causes that are
common.
Doctors of all schools claim
that teaspoonful of Duffy's Pure
Malt Whiskey in each glass of
water you drink acts as a germ
killer. When you go to the coun-
try for the summer take supply
with you. For over fifty years
Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey has
been prescribed by doctors and
used in hospitals in the treatment
of dyspepsia, indigestion, typhoid
and malaria, and all forms of
stomach troubles. 1t is positive
cure for cramps, dysentery, sun
stroke, cholera morbus and chills.
1t quickens the circulation, puri-
fies and enriches the blood, builds
new nerves, muscles and brain
tissue and gives fresh life and vi
tality to every part of the body.
Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey is
an absolutely pure distillation of
matted grain; great care being
used to have every kernel thor
oughly matted, thus producing a
liquid food requiring no digestion
in the form of pharmaceutical
whiskey, which is one of the most
effective tonic stimulants and in
vigorators known to science; its
palatability and freedom from in
furious substances render it so
that it can be retained by the
most sensitive stomach.

CHILD LABOR GREATER MENACE
THAN WAS cHATTEL SLAVERY

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 13-[Editor
Heraldl:-I think I can fully appreciate
the feeling that prompted the recent
letter by Helen Williams, in which she
challenges my statements regarding
child labor in Massachusetts. ] am al
so from New England and have no de-
sire to say untrue things about the
home Of my youth, but in this case I
am fully able to prove my statements
absolutely correct. On page 527 of Bull
letin So, of the bureau of labor she will
find a table from which anyone can
readily compute the percentage Of Hit
crate working children. AS to the eX-
tent to which child labor has obtained
a foothold in Massachusetts we find on
page 495 of the same report that in the
worsted goods industry 88 per cent of
all workers are children, and other in
dustries show nearly as high percent
ages. In Rhode Island 16.5 per cent Of
all those employed in the manufacture
of yarn are children.
The writer is doubtless absolutely
correct in her assertion that child la
Dor does not exist in Attleboro, but we
must remember that this is a town
largely given over to the manufacture
OF jewelry and as this requires skilled
labor the employment of children is not
practicable. If she wishes to find child
labor let her visit New Bedford or Fall
River. In the latter city there is big

OBJECTS TO PRIVILEGES
FOR RETIRED SOLDIERS

SOLDIERS HOME, Cal. Aug. IA.
[Editor Herald: Some days ago an
order was issued from national head
quarters, board of managers, that all
members of the home drawing over
sixteen dollars pension, could only
draw sixteen dollars per month, that
the balance should be kept by the home
officers or turned over to a relative.
Now there are in this home several
members who have been retired
from the regular army drawing
over $50 a month. This money they
draw monthly by check outside of the
home Now, does not this refer to
them as we'll as to others? If my PEN
sion or part of it is retained, is it not
just that theirs should be? Besides,
being members of the regular army, is
not their place in the home at Wash

WOMAN INSISTS EQUAL
SUFFRAGE WORKS WELL

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 13.-[Editor
Herald: The facts about H. A.
Buchtels nomination to the governor
shin of Colorado are pretty well known.
A number of decent men refused to
run because they did not like the nom
fnee for chief justice of the supreme
court. Mr.. Buchtel had no such scru-
pies: he took the job. Such women
voters as were in a position to be
coerced turned in their votes for the
clerical candidate. Here are the fig
ures for the first four precincts of the
Fourth ward, Denver's worst district,
the fourth precinct, enjoying the per-
sonal supervision Of Billy Green:
Precinct adams, 60; Buchtel, 1O9;
Haywood. H. Lindsay, 8.
Precinct Adams, 26; Buchtel, 26O;
Haywood, Il; Lindsay, none.
Precinct adams. 20; Buchtel, 1O6;
Haywood, Is; Lindsay, 1.
Precinct Adams, 81; Buchtel, 324;
49, Lindsay, s.
Now, this proves either that even
these women were sufficiently enlight-
ened to vote voluntarily for saint"
or that St. Buchtel had some unholy
at work. | am rather
surprised that an admirer of the form
er governor says anything about his
connection with Denver university. 1t
is a notorious scandal out in that state
that the influence of the governor was
thrown to the institution of which he
himself was chancellor, instead Of to
the university of the whole state.
Yes, conditions in Colorado are pretty
bad. The legislature precipitated a
good resemblance of civil war while
ago by refusing TO obey the state con-
stitution and pass the eight-hour law.

are not the capitalists. The idea that
