GREAT MAN, BUD NAT A SEER

John Adams was a far-sighted,
inspired man. but he could not see
far into the future. In 1913 he
wrote to Jefferson: MANY hundred
years must roll away before we
shall be corrupted. Our pure,
virtuous, public spirited, federated
republic will last forever, govern
The globe, and introduce the per-
lection of men,"
He could not anticipate what was
to be in a single half century.
He could not estimate what the
invention of the cotton gin would
resdlt in; nor the discoveries of
great gold and, silver mines; nor
what the added work of the steam
engine would be to the world; or
the magnetic telegraph, the
telephone, the electric light and
p 'wer. He was a great man, but
the ground he walked was provincial
one; his horizon was narrow, while
that other higher horizon (which fills
now and then the sub-conscious
eyes of mortals. was closed to him.
He could have told of the life of a
hIndre1 nations that have fourished
in the world, and given shrewd
analysis of how they finally lost
their strength and persisted; but
the thought that the same causes
might produce the same effect in
our own nation he never would
believe. His thought was that a
nation so. free and so blessed as
ours, would inspire such love for
it on the part of our people, that
it would always be their special
Government, and that anything
that might threaten isS liberties
or its life would receive swift and
OVerWnelmlng resentment.
In only one thing was he right.
His trust in the innate integrity of
the people was justified; and they
could never be openly corrupted
was right; but the insiduous power
of money, the lust for gold, the
avarice that grows with age and
success; the deadening of con-
science and patriotism, of those
attributes, great as he was, he had
no conception.
We believe with him that our
form Of government will last; we
believe with him that the hearts of

There is nor Catarrh in this
section of the country than all
other diseases put together, and
until the last few years was sup
posed to be incurable. For a great
many years doctors pronounced it
local disease and prescribed local
remedies, and by constantly failing
to cure with local treatment, pro-
nounced it incurable. Science has
proven catarrh to be a constitu-
tional disease and therefore re-
quires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured
by F. j. Cheney & Co., Toledo,
Ohio, is the only constitutional
cure on the market. 1t is taken
internally in doses from 10 drops
to teaspoonful. 1t acts directly
on the blood and mucous surfaces
of the system. They offer one
hundred dollars for any case it
fails to cure. Send for circulars

n ikE COAL Mines

Revelations of narrowing con-
ditions existing in the big steel
plants of Pennsylvania are now
supplemented by an official repor t
of conditions found to exist in the
bituminous coal mining industry
of the Keystone State which are
equally shocking.
The report shows that about
seventy-five out of every 100 of the
miners in the coal fields of western
Pennsylvania are aliens. They are
an ignorant class and their
ignorance is partly responsible for
many shocking mine accidents. But
lack of safety appliances and
callous Indifference to the fate of
the operatives on the part of greedy
mine owners has much to do with
the slaughter. The miners mostly
deal at the company "pluck me
stores. If you don't they are apt
to lose their jobs The average
annual income of the adult miner
is $431 or about $3.50 week.
On this he has to support a family
which is usually large. To exc
out the slender income children are
put to work at tender ages and
frequently the family takes
"lodgers.il In the mean little shacks
that compose the company houses,
the housing of dodgers in addition
to the numerous family produces
inevitably condition not conductive
to the best spiritual and moral
atmosphere. 1t is noted that ,ery
few of the alien miners show a
civic spirit. Only about % per
ent have applied for naturalization
in the last ten years. This is not
surprising. The boosted Gland of
the free" must seem a good deal of
humbug to the overworked,
underpaid foreigner lured to these
shores by glittering promises of
prosperity and contentment.
The mine owners are benefciaries
of the glorious republican principle
of protection. But their i'm
ported alien labor is not protected.
Nor are American workingmen
protected against the competition
of these humbugged foreigners.
Labor is and always has been on
the free list. .....
