Get Saturday Half Holiday.

Verifying Mr.. Schwab's statement re-
garding the Saturday half holiday, the
commissioner said that the report of the
agents who made the investigation at the
Bethlehem plant showed that of the en-
ployes having working day of ten hours
and twenty-five minutes practically all,
or about $500 men, worked only five and
one-third hours Saturday
DR.. Neill said that the resolution of
Congress called specifically for a state
ment of the condition in the Bethlehem
works. The commissioner, however, sus-
tanned Mr.. Schwab in his contention that
the conditions described were not con-
fined to the Bethlehem plant.
Commissioner Neill said il Is perfectly
true that i'm some departments work for
the entire seven days OF the week, month
in and month out, has been the practice
throughout the entire steel industry"

The conditions of labor existing at the
Bethlehem steel works, at South Bethle-
hem. Pa. as set forth in the report of
the bureau OF labor recently sent to Con-
gress. are more or less common through
out the entire steel industry, according to
a statement issued yesterday by Dr.
Charles p. NELL, commissioner of labor.
He referred to the conditions in the blast
furnaces as shocking.
This announcement was brought by a
protest made to Secretary of Commerce
and Labor Nagel and Commissioner Neill
by President Charles NJ. Schwab and
other representatives of the Bethlehem
steel works, regarding the summary is
sued by the bureau of labor of the re-
port of its agents on wages and working
conditions at the steel plant. Mr.. Schwab
complained that the summary was unfair
to his company In falling to state that
most of the skilled workmen of the Beth
lehem plant had Saturday half holiday
and in giving no indication that the con-
ditions found at the Bethlehem steel
works were not peculiar to that plant,
but were general in the steel industry.

CONVINCING FACTS ON VITAL
SUBJECTS

The truth of the assertions made by
the famous Quaker Health Teacher
seems to be borne out in the following
statement. Said he: while I have
been complimented upon the great
number of cures effected by the
Quaker Herb Extract while here, there
is no doubt in my mind that even
greater results will be accomplished
in the near future by it, if the people
using the remedy will only bear in
mind the fact that this medicine is a
mild one, and acts slowly but surely.
Especially in chronic cases will this
effect be noticed.
People should know that chronic
means habit. Chronic disease means
that certain organs have formed a
habit of acting wrong, and not only
must that habit be broken, but the
new habit of acting right must be
kept UP for some length of time. to
prevent these organs falling back into
the old way of acting wrong.
The greatest pride l take in the
effects of Quaker Extract is the perma-
nency of its cures of chronic diseases,
often called 'incurable,' which l find
are made when the Extract is taken
properly for a continued period, so
that the whole system is brought back
to it's natural working state again.

everything it said about him then
could be repeated with equal truth

The Journal regrets that both of

cause both are its friends and it is also

elected will make a good senator and

A Contemporary
And the Primary.

The Tampa Tribune seems to have
no fixed opinion on any subject. or at
least on some subjects. For several
weeks it has been vociferously calling
for a Convention-a convention to
nominate presidential electors, nation
al delegates, a national committeeman,
and to draft and adopt a state plat
form. Referring again to the matter
and to what it insists is the need of a
convention for the making of a plat
form, the Tribune says:
And yet, when the Tribune advo-
Gates a convention for this purpose
and this purpose alone, that of bring
mig the Democratic party of Florida
abreast of the times, a pack of yelpers
OF the press raises the howl that this
paper wants to otherthrow the primary
system and restore the convention for
the nomination of all party candidates.
This, however, doesn't disturb the
Tribune in its fixed opinion that. so
far as organization is concerned. the
Democratic party of Florida is in a
bad way and that the state convention

the only method of salvation.
Because the Tribune advocates a
convention for this purpose and this
purpose alone'-(that Is, for the pur-
pose Of adopting platform)-it says
it has been criticised all over the
state and held up as an advocate OF
abolishing the primary,
How dreadful! But for how long
has the Tribune been advocating a

had an average of six years in school,
the aggregate loss to the country in
wasted education is calculated to be
81, $4,000 a year.
Less than 5 per cent. OF the coun.
try's school children, the statement
adds, receive definite instruction in the
prevention of tuberculosis.
In Michigan, Massachusetts, North
Carolina, Missouri and Porto Rice
laws have been passed requiring that
instruction on the prevention of tuber.

The total of 6,400 school children
killed yearly by this foe of humanity
doesn't begin to tell the story. Sta
tistics bearing on the grand total OF
deaths from the. disease each year are
not available, but the number will run
into multiplied thousands.
While the Great White Plague has
killed its millions, the time, humanity
trusts, is not far distant when it's
frightful onslaught will be checked.
The American people have revoIteu
against its greatest enemy, and it
must yield. 1t has been shown that
tuberculosis can be in many cases
cured and in most cases prevented
through the constant alertness of the
people. Fresh air and proper santa
ton are the surest preventives, and
when the organization of anti-tubercu-
losis societies have become more
universal and the individual is made
to feel the responsibility that rests
upon him, then will results be at

George
Washington.

The sublimest tribute ever paid to
mortal man is this golden sentence
which we find every time a sketch of
George Washington is scanned:
"First in war; first in peace, and
first in the hearts of his countrymen."
Could anything be sweeter, grander
or nobler? And when applied to the
grand old man who commanded the
Continental Army, could anything be
truer?
There is scarcely a white child in
all this "land of the free and the home
of the brave" but that is familiar with
that old, old story of little George and
his hatchet-and the cherry tree.
There is in most every home in Amer
lea a portrait of Washington on the
wall. Today, one hundred and seventy
eight years since Washington came
into this world, the mother will take
her little son into her tender arms and
point to the old, faded picture above
the mantel or over the library door,
and tell him of the truthful, kind and
brave Washington who led handful
Of shivering, hungry Americans to in
dependence against the naughty legions
of Great Britain. She will tell him
that old story of Washington who
showed his grief at the suffering of his
faithful followers, and how the great
chief was discovered one bitter day
during that fearful winter at Valley
Forge, kneeling in the snow sending
up a fervent petition to the Most High
in behalf of the poorly-clad troops.
That mother will emphasize the Valley
Forge prayer and the cherry tree In

Fletcher Makes Strides.

Senator Duncan U. Fletcher is at
tracing attention, although he is one
of the junior senators. A recognition
which may be considered out of the
usual was his appointment to serve
on the committee to Investigate the
charges against Ballinger for alleged
land frauds. This investigation is one
of the most important undertaken
by a congressional committee in a
long while, and the fact that Senator
Fletcher of Florida is on the commit
tee is evidence that he has made his
presence known in Washington.

than that. He has already been

And while our minds are on the mis-
application of justice in this great
country of ours, we might read the
following excellent editorial on 1.-The
Man Higher Up from Tom Watson in
the current issue of his weekly paper,
The Jeffersonian:
The roaring farce goes merrily on:
the underlings who commit crime in
obedience to orders, and without de-
irving personal benefit therefrom, con-
tinue to go to Jail and to the peniten-
tiary. But the Man Higher Up wends
his unwearied way from home to office,
from home to church, from home to
gorgeous banquets, without any moles-
tation from the powers that be.
The Powers know as well as you
and I do who the real criminals are.
They know it far better than We out
siders can possibly know it.
They know why the underlings
committed those crimes. They know
who planned the frauds and who
reaped the benefits. They know who
got the goods. They know who were
caught with the goods.
Yet the Man Higher Up roosts Sc,
renely on the upper limb, while his
underlings, whom he ordered to steal
from the government, are marching
into penal servitude.-
Last week, The Man Higher Up sent
more than $600,000,O00 to the govern
ment, to make good a portion of his
stealages. To that extent, by his own
admission, he had robbed the govern
ment by false weighing. His under
lings had fixed" the scales, at his
command. Government employees
bribed by him, had winked, while his
underlings cheated the government by
the use Of those fixed" scales.
Mr.. Taft knows this: Mr.. Wicker
sham knows it: Wade Ellis knows it:
John S. Wise knows it. And they
know that the Man Higher Up knows
that they know 1t.
But nothing is done.
Splitter, an underling, comes to the
Atlanta penitentiary, under a sentence
of two years, for his participation in a
half-billion-dollar series of crimes.
And he says bitterly, They have
sacrificed me, to save themselves -
Who are "they"? Each one is a Man
