The Lady Of the White House.

In commtlting upon Mrs. Taft's recent
i'll health, the Washington correspondent
of the Indianapolis Star regrets the posi-
bility that this ''dominantly endowed lady
regnant' should be forced to retire
throughout the social season. We read
further:
Mrs. Taft's sustained i'll health is a
public calamity; her breakdown, coming
on the very Threshold of a social admin
istration that promised the distinction
that characterized the regime of Dolly
Madison and Mrs. Cleveland, a ruthless
stroke of fate. Washington is one great
regret. Yet there is many a wiseacre
here who hak his head-though it is
usually a her head-and says, Il told
you so.'
Mrs. Taft was burning the candle at
both ends. Ambitious, dominant, rich in
resources, eager to make her reign a
record breaker, the lovely lady, unInindful
of physical limitations, has been a reck-
less spendthrift in gray matter and nerve
hber. The reckoning had TO come. After
all, a woman is but a human being, ever
though she be a presidents wife. Mrs.
Taft's physicians promise a complete re-
establishment of her health eventually.
But meanwhile court circles are in a
dilemma for a leader right away.

the miserable humiliation Of seeing her
ideal OF me disappear as everything went
into my mouth and nothing came out Of
it, until at last, as I took my fifth potato,
she leaned across with c,asped hands and
fearful eyes, and b~reathed, imploringly:
"Oh, Mr.. Thackeray. Don't!' This is one
OF those stories which may not be true,
but ought to be. 1t shows Thackeray in
his typical attitude to life and TO him

Most people are more or less subject
to coughs and colds. A simple remedy
that will break up a cold quickly and
cure any cough that is durable is made
by mixing two ounces of Glycerine, a
half-ounce of Virgin Oil OF Pine com

ASSIST MATTERS IN
FIGHT FOR JUSTICE

Local unions have received the fol-
lowing circular letter from the United
Hatters of North America, and the
Labor World commends it's contents
to every union man and friends of
organized labor: -" *'s
The National Association Of Manu-
facturers and Anti-Boycott Society are
still waging war against the United
Hatters of North America. In the
recent trial before the sUnited States
court, at Hartford >C8hn:, for an;
alleged violation OF the Sherman an
THRUST law, in which a judgment was
rendered against our organization for
two hundred and twenty-five thous-
and dollars ($222.0O0l, Mr.. Loewe,
the supposed plaintiff in the case,
testified that the defendants (two
hundred and forty members of the
Hatters' Union) were selected by Mr..
Davenport, who is: the legal adviser
and organizeraof the AntiTBoycott So
ciety, and that that Organization was
furnishing the expense of conducting
the trial, showing that the. Anti-Boy-
colt Society. and not the d. e: Loewe
company, was the, real plaintiff in
the case. 'r".'
The great crime of which we were
accused was that our members re-
fused to work for the, Loewe company
because of his refusal to unionize his
factory, and that we told our friends,
the members of organized labor, that
the Loewe hat was unfair and did not
contain the label of the United Hat
tiers of North America. +. -,
The court holds that this is a seri-
Gus crime, and must not be repeated
oy our organization, but we can ask
you without any fear of breaking
the law to buy no hat unless it con-
ta1ns the label of the United Hatters
of North America. Err -. <
we don't believe there is a member
OF organized labor who would wilfully
help the Anti-Boycott Society in their
fight against the United Hatters of
North America, but the fact remains
that many members of organized la
Dor. can be found with non-union
hats, which shows that unconscious
~, perhaps), they are helping the
enemy to destroy our organization.
Ihere Is no neutral ground in this
right of the Anti-Boycott Society.
Every time you buy a hat you must
take part. If you insist on getting
nat with the union label you side with
the United Hatters of North America:
