SUSPENSION OF
alien LABOR Law
May Be Asked For In Texas-laborers
Needed to Gather The Bumper
Cotton Crop.

Special to The NeUS.
Houston, Tex, Aug. Throughout
the cotton belt of South Texas and es-
pecially in the lower Rio Grande coun-
try, a movement is under way to en-
list popular support of a petition that
may be presented the United States
government seeking the suspension of
the anti-alien labor laws until the
bumper cotton crop of Texas is har-
vested
Texas this year faces the usual
shortage of cotton pickers as the time
OF harvest approaches. Fields are fast
whitening, prices are high and the
planters are anxious to harvest the
biggest crop in years. Yet as harvest
time approaches available labor be-
comes more scarce and 1t is certain
that by the time the picking season
is generally opened both white and ne
gro labor will be at a premium.
In the Rio Grande country where the
cotton first ripened labor is scarce, yet
Just across the Rio Grande are thous-
ands of persons who would be thank
full to enter the Texas fields and pick
this fieecy staple. However, they are
barred by the operation of the anti
alien labor laws. The available labor
ers by the thousands are in Mexico
while the waiting cotton fields are in
Texas. Only the Rio Grande and the
Federal statute separat them.
On account of the recent revolution
crops in Mexico this year are short
Many fields were not planted because
of the war, while fields in seed wer'
deserted for the revolt and have gon
to ruin. There is little work and thous
ands of the poorer classes of Mexican
are idle.
The persons behind the petition t
the United States government sugges
a suspension of the contract labor LAY
during the cotton harvest, after whic
the laborers would be returned
their native country and the cotto
crop would be harvested.

A Warming to Many
Some Interesting Facts Regarding
Health Statistics

Few people realize to what extent their
health depends upon the condition Of the
kidneys.
The physician in nearly all cases Of seri-
Gus illness makes a chemical analysis Of
the patients urine. He knows that un-
less the kidneys are doing their work
properly the other organs cannot be
brought back to health and strength.
When the kidneys are neglected or
abused in any way serious results are sure
to follow. According to health statistics,
Bright's disease, which is really an adj
vanccd form Of kidney trouble. caused
nearly ten thousand deaths in 1910 in the
State Of New York alone. Therefore, it
behooves US to pay more attention to the
health OF these most important organs.
An ideal herbal compound hat has had
remarkable success as a kidney remedy
is Or. kilmcr's' Swamp-Root, the great
Kidney, Liver and Bladder Remedy.
The mild and healing influence Of this
preparation is soon realized. 1t stands
the highest for its remarkable record Of
cures.

1t is pathetic to recall that a very
few, weeks ago Brother Charles, then
apparently in fairly good health, was
ture for the school in which his body
to-day lies In state. Largely through
his un%remitting zeal. old st. Peters had

again this year, and with a record
breaking enrolment appeared to be
entering upon a new career of useful
ness and success. Talk OF a big new
baseball and football teams we're or

being made to the curriculum. In all
these details Brother Charles took
the keenest interest and. encouraged
by his friends and assisted by the

him. he seemed about to witness the
time OF patient abo That the work
will be taken up where he dropped IL
and pushed on as he had planned
goes without the saying. but it Is a
not nave lived to see 1t done.
Among the boys OF ST. Peters and.
indeed. of the entire city, Brother
Charles held a unique place. In a very
of winning the confidence and affec-
ton of tbs young people in his charge,
and year by year as the classes came
and vent added steadily to a long list
of devoted friends and admirers. who
always held a warm snot in their
hearts for him even after they had
grown up and gone forth into the
world, for which he had helped to
train them. His skilled and kindly ham
ismoothed out many q childish wranGle
in the sc~hooiyard when nobody else
seemed able to get at the bottom Of
the trouble. The boys were genuinely
attached to him, and some idea of his
popularity may be gathered from the
depth OF the gloom that settled over
the school during the last days OF his
illness. Hour by hour the students
waited for some cheering news from
the bedside. but none came. When the
announcement of the end finally was
made the grief Of the pulls was mani
fest and very genuine. 1t was n sor-
rowful day TO many a little fellow of

Brother Charles is survived by his
mother, several sisters and n large
family connection In Ireland. and by
several relatives in this untr Two
