OBJECTION TO AUTOMOBILE
SPEEDING.

A correspondent, writing to The
oregonian, says that one of the mos
vital necessltics Ia maintaining oul
public highways is to stop effectual
ly the excessive speeding of automo-
biles. The present law is Intellectual
and should be changed. We have a
state law regulating the construc-
tion of dangerous machinery in our
mills and factories; a federal law
regulating the construction of hulls
and boilers Of our boats, and provid-
Ing for state and federal inspection,
with the object of protecting life,
The same principle of law should be
extended to apply to the construction
Of the speed gears, the dangerous
parts of automobiles.
Such a law would be fair and Just
to the law-abiding automobile owner,
as such excess speed power is usable
at present only in violation of the
law. 1t would effectually stop all
excessive speeding, and by allowing
reasonable time to make the
change, II would not interfere with
the automobile business to any ex-
tent, as such speed gears can be
changed at slight expense compar-
ed with the saving to be gained in
maintaining our roads. The roads
are OF more Importance to the gen.
eral public than high-speed gears are
to the automobile speed maniacs.
Such law must be passed before
the thinking farmer class can be in.
duced to assume the tax necessary tc
build good macadamized roads.
The above correspondent is right
In his criticism OF that class who
recklessly ride over our highways
but Just how fast the auto should bt
allowed to go is a question yet to bt
determined. The legislature will b.
called upon to do this.

HOW LONG WILL THIS GO ON!

HOW LONG WILL THIS GO ON!
There has been so much to think
and talk about for the last few days
that The Courier has not had time
to say anything in regard to what
has been going on In Delhi, India;
though our United Press service has
daily given the points of interest in
this story. 1t has been star per-
formance with more elephants in the
ring than would make up a grand
aggregation of all the circuses in the
whole country. So It will be seen
that 1t has been no small affair. The
occasion of all this public demon
stration has been the visit of George
and Mary OF London, who went out
to India at an expense Of 100000
600 to take over the empire, 100,-
900 or so people being present to
hand It over. There were cheers
and ceremonies Of all sorts helping
to point out the grandeur and glory
Of the English monarch.
The grand parade was certainly
something very gorgeous; every
body and the elephants wore spark
ling gems and the trapping both Of
animals and persons fairly glittered,
That was a great day in Delhi
AS the night always follows the
day, there was more enthusiasm fol-
lowing the coronation OF George and
Mary. A public reception was held
In the evening at which the people
we're informed as to what had hap
pened and congratulations we're ex-
changed, bows and salutes we're dis
tributed all round to all entitled to
receive them.
George and Mary are now respec-
lively emperor and empress Of India,
for the stunt which has cost so many
millions has been pulled of and
that benighted country is happy, not
withstanding the fact that perhaps
this year or next million people
there will starve to death. The fact
Is they always do England has
robbed India to the extent OF hun
dreds OF millions OF dollars annual
ly and this, as consequence has
brought poverty, starvation and
death to untold millions since Eng
lishmen have occupied that unfor-
tunate country How long, Oh Lord,
how long shall this thing continue!

to be in first-class shape.
communication was received from
the Central Labor Union of Indianapolis,
Ind, stating that the E. c. Atkins Mfg.
Co., manufacturers of all kinds of tools,

them, the Garment Workers winning
every demand for which they struck.
The Machinists reported that their
smoker was a success but that they were
seriously handicapped by the unfair at
titude of the police department toward
them. Considerable money is needed to
keep up the heavy strike expenses and
all locals will be asked to contribute to
this fund.
The Walters reported that the card
had been taken out of Perry's restaurant.

non-union restaurants and asked that a
committee be appointed to devise ways
and means to have this practice stopped.
This committee is now busy and every
effort will be made to secure the names
of union men who are patronizing non
union restaurants and they will be re-
ported to the Label League, Trades As

AS BAD AS RUSSIA.
American Workmen Beaten and Dragged
to Mines, Wives Brutally Assaulted
Because Husbands Are
Union Men.

In New Jersey, where the patriots
froze, starved, fought and died for lib
erty, methods as tyrannical, if not more
so, than those in operation in Russia.
are being used to break the spirit of
those who toll. Men have been dragged
from their homes and forced, against
their WILL to labor in the mines. They
have been beaten and put in Jail; their
homes have been desecrated and their
wives brutally assaulted and some have
been banished because they dared be
union men. Workers in the neighbor-
hood are Mortified and astounded, and
when they meet ask each other this
question: Are we living in the United
States or Russia?"
The following statement is from the
New York World: Franklin Furnace,
N. j. This mining village of 1900 per-
sons has within the past fortnight wit
messed lawless scenes worthy of the Cal
ifornia of '49.
After the New Jersey Zinc company
had denied the right of it's employees to
organize a labor union and had dis
charged a score or more of its men who
had enrolled as members an armed mob
of vigilantes took upon itself to invade
miners houses, drag them to work or
order them out of town.
Franklin Furnace lies in the pic
turesque valley of Waikiki and is a strag-
Cling settlement. Its one industry is
that of the New Jersey Zinc company.
The center of things is known as green
spot, the main entrance to the mine,
near which are situated the company S
offices, the company store and homes of
the officers in charge. AT different wide
ly scattered points of the company S
property-and nearly everything in
Franklin Furnace belongs to the com
pany-live the miners and other en-
ployes."
The New York World is authority for
the statement, given by employees that
armed men broke into their homes, as
saulted them and their wives, dragged
them TO jail and banished them from the
town because they would not give up
the union Father McGuinness, the viii
lage priest, said: Men were told if
they did not dress and go to work they
would be taken to Jail. AS a result the
local Jail contained that day a good COM
plement of men. They are all out now.
/ don't know where"
Not content with owning the ground,
the underground, the stores, etc, this
company is determined to own the men,
soul and body. The union would have
ransomed the men and women and the
babies, but at the point of the gun, set
ting law at defiance, with thugs and the
village authorities an attempt was made
to destroy the labor organization and
keep the workers in bondage.
On learning of the outrage the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor Immediately
dispatched Organizer Stuart Reid to de-
fend the rights of the workers. He will
be aided by several other organizers.

HOOPER SAID HE
COULD STOP SALOONS

1t would be disgusting were it not
ridiculous to hear the supporters Of
Gov. Hooper try to excuse his failure
to do a single thing that he promised
that he would do. When asked before
the election if he would stop the sale OF
Intoxicants, he said that he would, and
on being asked how he proposed to do
it, he replied, "Oh, where there is q
will there is way" Has he the will
or has he found a way? Some of his
supporters try to excuse his failure on
the ground that she hasn't been given
sufficient power by the legislature. "
Did Patterson have any more power ?
And whose fault is it that the legisla
ture has not had working quorum to
pass any kind of enabling act or any
thing else? 1t is not the fault of the
democratic members, surely; they have
been ready every day since January 2
to transact business, but Ben Hooper'S

History Of Woman Who Started
Greatest Anti-Liquor Move

Leavenworth, Kan, June 9.-Carrie
Nation, the Kansas saloon smasher,
died hers tonight at 7:05 o'clock.
Paresis was the cause of her death.
For several months Mrs. Nation had
been in poor health and on Jan. % she
entered the local sanitarium in which
she died, hoping there to reco ver from
a nervous breakdown.
1t became evident several days ago
that Mrs. Nation could not recover
and Dr. Suwalski, physician ut the
sanitarium, informed her the end was
near. She said nothing, but smiled.
She became unconscious at noon today
and did not revive.
Worry over lawsuits, which she had
brought against lecture bureau for
alleged failure to pay for services on
the platform, is said to have caused
her to break down. While Mrs. Ma
ton was in the sanitarium none but
relatives were allowed to visit her.
The body will be sent to Kansas City
where nephew lives, tomorrow morn
ing. Funeral services will be held
there probably Sunday.

NEEDFUL KNOWLEDGE.
Johnson City People Should
Learn to Detect Approach
of Kidney Disease.

The symptoms of kidney trouble are
SO unmistakable that they leave no
groud for doubt. Sick kidneys excrett
a thick, cloudy, offensive urine, full of
sediment, irregular of passage or attend
ed by sensation of scaIding. The
back aches constantly, headaches and
dizzy spells may occur and the victim Is
often weighed down by feeling of lam
guor and fatigue. Neglect these warn
ings and there is danger of dropsy,
Bright's disease, or diabets. Any one
of these symptoms is warning enough to
begin treating the kidneys at once. De.
lay often proves fatal.
You can use no better remedy than
Doan's Kidney Pills. Here's Johnson
City proof
Mrs. Lille A. Rush, 4O5 W. Market
St., johnson City, Tenn, says: My

KNOXvILLE-BRISTOL
NIGHT TRAIN SERVICE

Bristol, June l0.-It is learned that
the Southern railway will change its
present schedule, SO as to give Bristol q
west-bonnd night trails and an early
morning train into Bristol from Knsx-
willie. Train No. 8, now leaving here
at 4 p. m, will leave about p. M, ii
is stated, and it is probable that train
No. "a, which is now arriving from
Knoxville at 11.30 a. M, will be moved
back so as to reach here about $50 to
8 a. IN.
The board Of trade is making strer-
uous fight for better passenger sched
ule on the Southern. 1t is underslo' d
that Knoxville is opposed to any change
in the present schedule of trains No. 8
and No. A.
