HATTERS TRIUMPHANT.
Win q Notable Victory After Long and
Bitter Struggle.

Win Notable Victory After Long and
Bitter Struggle.
After strike which lasted many
months. cost large sums of money and
entailed UNRELIABLE hardships on union
hatters in three or four states Of the
Union the members Of the United
Hatters Of North America have gained
nearly all they contended for. Almost
the last citadel Of the enemy has capt.
ulated to the organization.
The trouble originated in Boston in
1905. In that year the Boston Hat
ters' union presented to the Guyer Hat
company Of that city a new wage
scale, which the company refused to
accept. The case was then referred to
the national arbitration board. COM
posed OF members Of the Manufacture
ers' association and representatives OF
the United Hatters' organization. The
award Of the board was largely in IA
vor Of the union. and the Guyer Hat
company refused to abide by 1t.
Believing it could escape the award
union by moving its plant to Philadel-
phia. the company did this and sought
to make an agreement with the Phila.
delphia union. That union, however,
stood by the United Hatters as a mat.
ter of course, and the company was
forced to either conduct a nonunion
factory or surrender to the union. II
chose the former course, and the Man
ufacturers' association decided to sup
port 1t in the stand it took. and the
general strike and lockout followed.
The company has not been able to
run its plant or conduct its business
successfully under nonunion condi.
tons and has made complete surren
der to the union. It's factory will here.
after be a union factory. and all Its
products will bear the union label

WHAT ARE YoUwORTH7
By EDWIN A. NYE.

How much are you worth coming
cially In dollars and cents?
1t Is said Of some people that they
ere worth their weight in gold" which
commercially is not true Estimated
in the weight Of the average person.
that would make about $1,000. Your
body certainly is not worth that much.
Analyze it.
In the first place. the average body
contains at least nine gallons of wa
ter. and water in that quantity has no
value commercially.
There is enough lead in your body
to make big pile Of lead pencils If
you could get at it.
And there is enough phosphorus to
make a good many boxes of matches.
but not enough to pay a chemist to
separate it.
And, though you may lack consider
ably in being the salt Of the earth. !"
there are in your body at least six
ounces of salt.
There is also sugar, a pound or so.
depending upon how fat you are. Lit
orally the latest are the sweetest.
Besides, there are a little soda and
other ingredients, sufficient perhaps to
make good sized bar Of soap.
And that is all, except the gas. of
which there is enough in you to fill u
fair sized balloon.
In short, you are bankrupt.
Physically you are mostly water and
gas, neither Of which is Of value in
the market place.
Instead of being worth your weight
in GOLDFISH, 000-you are scarcely
worth your weight in dust.
What are you worth? Whatever
your real wealth may be, it resides in
you possess.
That is all.
Except under slavery your body is
commercially worthless. And yet men
sometimes sell themselves. What do
they sell? Not their bodies. They
sell their souls.
How much are you worth mentally
You may be worth millions. because
oil things are yours mentally. No man
can keep you out Of an intellectual
fortune.
How much are you worth morally
Whatever you choose to be. You may
make yourself of untold value moral
~ or worthless, depending absolutely
upon yourself
What are you worth?

Not long ago one locomotive on the
Pennsylvania railroad hauled 12O steel
cars full of coal
1t was the heaviest load ever hauled
| by locomotive.
The train was mile and a quarter
long, and each car contained fifty tons
Of coal-10O.0OO pounds.
That is to say, the locomotive pulled
a load Of 100000 pounds. And this.
mind you. is not counting the weight
of the heavy steel cars. The full
weight Of the cars is estimated at
100000 pounds.
So that this machine. invented and
perfected by human minds. dragged
1900. 900 pounds behind it.
Now
Had such feat been predicted in
the time Of Pericles the wise would
have said not even can one Of the gods
| on Olympus do that. In the day Of
Columbus such prophecy would have
been a joke.
Even a hundred years ago?
Why, when the first locomotive ran
on its rails scientists said 1t might be
a sort Of toy, but was impractical.
They said no human could travel at
the terrific rate of twenty-five miles an
hour without disintegrating and flying
into bits.
Again, they said If trains were run at
that speed it would be necessary to
build strong stone walls on both sides
of the track, else persons who stood
by the passing trains would be killed
by the rush OF air.
Others said it may be possible to
transport light stuff by steam power
In this way. but heavy stuff would
need to be carried on the canals or by
horse teams.
They said it!
II some of those scientific wiseacres
could have seen that mile and a quar-
ter of coal cars or ride on that sixty
| mile an hour train that goes from Chi
cago to New York in eighteen hours.
They were false prophets.
Therefore let us not be too wise in
our day and generation.
When men speak OF fighting future
battles In midair or OF talking to peo-
pie on Mars or Of the things that
sound fanciful to US let US not be alto
gether faithless.
And above all
Let us be careful about making pre-.
diction Of failure lest even in our own
day We be proved false prophets.

Another Revolution

The Indianian made it clear to the
men who are seeking to rush the job
OF whitewashing William Lorimer and
to purify his title as United States
senator that he would not sign the
report drafted for his signature and
that of the other members OF the SEN
ate committee on privileges and cleo
tons.
He announced he had not yet had
opportunity to complete reading the
testimony. and he did not propose to
take sides at this point, lest he should
be embarrassed in any comments he
might want to make either in an indi-
vdiual report or in remarks upon the
floor Of the senate. To put it briefly
Mr.. Beveridge has not made up his
mind what he will do and will not do
SO until he is familiar with all the
facts.
No one realizes more the personal
consequences of participation in such
a scandal. especially when a man Of
clean record. the unfaltering courage.
and the high ideals of the Indiana sen.
ator prepares to investigate it.
The course Of Mr.. Beverage had an
immediate and important result. 1t
became apparent instantly that the
report as drafted could not stand be-
fore the battery of arguments which
the Indianian could discharge against
1t II he should become SO disposed.
Senator Burrows. chairman of the
committee had written report. He
was ably assisted by Senator Bailey
of Texas and few others whose sup
port of Lorimer never has been ques-
tioned.-John Callan O'Laughlin. spe-
cial correspondent Of the Chicago
Tribune.

The vapor rapidly cools and con-

an invisible but never ending shower.
The perfect condition In which the

Our First Cocoa.

The first newspaper notice that m
nounced the sale of cocoa and choco-
late in America read:
Amos Trask. at his house. little
below the Bell tavern. in Danvers,
makes and sells chocolate which he
will warrant to be good and takes co
Goa to grind. Those who may please
to favor him with their custom may
depend upon being well served and al
a very cheap rate
This notice appeared in the Essex
Gazette Of Massachusetts, on the 18th
of June. I'M. Eve years before the
signing OF the Declaration Of indie
pendence. Despite Mr.. Trask's assur-
ance that his rate was cheap, chcco-
late was very expensive and beyond
the purse Of any but the wealthy folk.

Tresses of dusky night, waving above a brow
Smooth and unmarked by the rough hand OF Time.
Smiling red lips and soft cheeks, gently glowing
With tints a shell. in color sublime
All, but the that look at hauntingly,
Eyes dark and tender. deep wells filled with tears,
Sadness lies hidden behind their fringed curainings,
Lifted in longing, for peaceladen years.
Do they gaze into the mists OF futurity
When the worlds SORROWS its and It's strife
Shall burden the Little casped lovingly,
Near the fond mother-heart, pulsing with life?
Or do they the gaunt shadow of destiny,
AS the looms the brow of the hill;
Thornladen head. and the exquisite agony
A cry-and her cherished Son, pale faced and still:
What e'er it be- oh fairest of womanhood,
brings a faint cloud those eyes, pure,
Soon it must lift, in the radiance reflected
From life with Divinity safe, and secure.

Plead with sad hearts. by sin oft beguiled,
Touching the chord that is vibrant with sympathy,

Lies purposes are the attainment
Of personal perfection and to help

are given their lives and the posi-
bilty Of dying natural deaths only
on condition that they serve the life
Of the whole world. whereas the
suicide exploits life as long as i is

likely fact that his service began
only at that moment when his life
became burdensome. Every work

that it is appropriate for me to say
that my service for seven years in
both branches of the Georgia legisIa-
ture, during which time many of the
present laws relating to banks and
banking were enacted, and my service
at the same time on the house com

which these laws were considered has
given me a clear insight into the Geor-
gia laws concerning banking and fl
nance
I'm addition to the foregoing expe-
rience, ] have been, for fifteen years
president of the Elberton Loan and
Savings Bank, in which capacity l may
say | have gained wide political ex-
perience concerning the operation oil
these laws; and, as a result of which
am in position to recommend certain
improvements in the present laws
which will better safeguard the inter
ests of the depositors in Georgia
state banks.

ton, / shall give my every effort tC
the faithful discharge of it's duties, tC
