DEMAND FOR LABOR
Unprecedented Prosperity in the United States Sends Up a Call From Ocean to Ocean for
 unskllled Labor.

The demand for unskilled labor States as it Is at present There ia also large and general demand for skilled labor in many important lines. The cry has gone up rom New York state and extends south along the Atlantic coast, across the south line of the Union to California, up the Pacific coast to Seattle, and back across the heart of the country from Kansas City to St. Louis, to Chicago, to Detroit, to Pittsburgh.
 Everywhere laborers are needed iu the harvests, the forests, the mines, the factories, the mills; on the rail roads for the construction of public highways and in our great industrial centers
 Even within hundred-mile radius of New York city the call is no less insistent La or agencies cannot sup ply the demand there. Contractors need manual labor for aqueducts. { h. nels, building excavations. There is NOIh TUT cNeiS man NlihS O t"hN pick and shovel and utilize the oppor- tunity to earn daily wage whose minimum Is S1.75.
 Can anyone doubt that 1t Is this con dition of universally employed labor which is responsible for the high prices for farm products-prices which are giving the American farm CT the greatest degree of prosperity he has ever known?
 And can anyone believe that these conditions. either as to labcrers or farmers, would be bettered by a change in the administration at Wash ington? Why make change for the mere sake of change? Let sleeping dogs lio"

A BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION
President Taft Has Given Good
 Government to the People.

From 1882 to 1892 the ordinary ex- penses of the federal government in creased at the rate of about per cent a year. In the succeeding decennial period they increased about per cent year Under the presidency of Mir. Roosevelt the annual increase was almost per cent. Mir. Taft has not only stopped this annual increase, which has so long seemed inevitable, but has actually brought about de- crease. Under MT. Roosevelt the or dinary annual expenses of the gov ernment grew from about S471 100000 to S662, 100000, an increase of $751; O00,0OO in seven years. Mir. Taft has reduced them from $662, 100000 to $654, 4,000,0
 We talk a lot about economy in pub lie affairs. Isn't it 'th while to stop a moment and give credit to a president who has actually done what we have all been saying ought to be done?

shouId Nnt lmperlI prospsrltx.

From the Prffalo, N. Y., News:
 The current number of Dun's Re- vew remarks upon the steady advance in trade activity, according to reports from various business centers in all parts of the country. The advance, it says, is both in actual volume of busi- ness and in that confidence which Is the basis of health in business.
 It is well to remember these things when one is considering the outlook. The situation together with the mag nifcent crops of the year explain why business men are less and less inclined to imperial prosperity by overturning the government.

BOUGHT HIS SOCKS IN
 SCOTLAND.

Governor Wilson is a free trader and is so recognized by rne rank and file of his party. The truth is emphasized a little ny the fact that he buys his SOCKS m Scotland.
 ms apparent indifference to me condition of American Iaborers may be due to his abi1- ny to get along without being obliged to eat bread in the sweat of his brow.
 He has been extremely fortu- nate in this respect. His auto cracy has been deeply tinged with aristocracy during his en- tire career as an educator ana dabbler in literature,
 He has neither by personal ex- perience or observation ac- quainted himself with the actual struggles and needs of the ordi- nary wage earner.
 During the trying times that this country was under the blight of free trade in 1894, 'oS and 'o6, Woodrow Wilson was enjoying a liberal income that was in no degree affected by the deplorable conditions surround ing the laborers in this country.
 Mir. Wilson is not 10 be con demned for his good fortune On the contrary, we should be disposed to congratulate him. but, in self interest the less for tunate should protect themselves against the enforcement of his tariff theories and policy, a trial of which has been given more than once with deplorable effect upon the industrial life of this country-Trenton Gazette.

WILSON WOULD REPEAL ALL
 PROTECTIVE TARIFF LAWS.

The following is taken from I an address delivered by Profes- sor Woodrow Wilson before the i tariff board in 1882, showing his view then on the question of the tariff and the distinct announce ! ment of his position as free trader, opposed to all tariffs ex- cept merely for the purpose of raising revenue:
 But the danger of imposing l protective duties is that when the policy is once embarked ! upon it cannot be easily receded { from. Protection is nothing more than bounty, and when ! we offer bounties to manufac- l turers they will enter into in [ dustries and build up interests and when at a later day we seek to overthrow this protective tar t iff we must hurt somebody, and ! of course there is objection. ! They will say: Thousands of ! men will be thrown out of em- l ployment and hundreds of peo- [ pie will lose their capital. This l seems very plausible; but [ maintain that manufacturers are I made better manufacturers { whenever they are thrown upon I their own resources and left to ! the natural competition oi ] trade.
 
 Protection also flinders com 1 merce immensely The English ] people. do not send as many goods to this country as they would if the duties were not so much and in that way there is a restric ton of commerce and 1 we are building up manufac- tories here at the expense of 1 commerce. We are holding ourselves aloof from foreign 1 countries in effect and saying, We are sufficient to ourselves; 1 we wish to trade, not with Eng land, but with each other. maintain that it is not only a pernicious system, but corrupt i system.
 By Commissioner Garland: i Q. Are you advocating the [ repeal of all tariff laws? 1 "A. Of all protective tariff laws; of establishing tariff for revenue merely It seems to me very absurd to maintain that we shall have free trade between different portions of this coun- try and at the same time shut ! ourselves out from free com munication with other produc- | ing countries of the world. If it is necessary to impose restric- tive duties on goods brought from abroad it would seem to ! me as matter of logic, neces- sary to impose similar restric- ! tions on goods taken from one state of this Union to another. ! That follows as necessary con sequence; there is no escape from it."

 Why. certainly that is what would happen--just as did the last time the protective tariff was relieved"

Women Work at Night to Finance
 Roosevelt Campaign.
AWFUL FACTORY CONDITIONS
New York State Investigating Commit tee Found Pale, Worn Women Work Ing In Irvine Manufacturing Con- eern Owned by the international Harvester Company.

Awful conditions have been found by the state factory investigating com mittee of New York in the mills of the Osborne Twine company, No. }, at Au- burn, N Y.. owned by the Interna- tional Harvester company, of which George w. Perkins. chief financial packer of Theodore Roosevelt in his scheme to ruin the Republican party, isa director.
 The appearance of the women workers in this plant" said a member of the committee, was very dis heartening. They were worn and pale and their clothes, faces and hands were covered with oil and hemp cloth. Many of these women, so called are only children in age and they have to lug huge piles of hemp, weighing l50 pounds each, across the floor, the load in some cases being bigger than the women themselves Tn the spin ming room, where women are employ ed alone, to the exclusion of men, who would have to receive higher wages, the chatter of machinery is so fright ful that voice below a shriek cannot be heard. The rooms are dark, though for no necessary cause, and no at tempt is made to remove the dust, which is kept in constant motion by the line shaftings despite the require ments of the law. This dust is breathed continuously by the women, many of whom complain of chronic coughs and colds. The dust and dirt are so thick upon the clothes of the girls that at the noon hour-which in many cases consists of but a few minutes-and at the close of the days or nights labor, the girls have to sweep each other clean with brooms." |"
 It is further stated that the custom of working the women all night is permanent, married women being se- lected for night work, their hours be- ing from sundown until 6:30 o'clock in the morning. Of 400 women em- ployed in the mills. 200 work all night
 When George w. Perkins was asked by New York Times reporter for an explanation of the conditions in an establishment of which he is one of the directors, he made, in part, the following remarkable reply: "This night work has been rendered neces- sary largely because of the govern mcnt's perfectly unreasonable attitude toward large corporations, which has made 1t impossible for managers of large concerns to know whether they were on foot or horseback, whether they could expand their plans to keep up with increasing demands or not" The late Mark Twain in his bright est moments never uttered anything more grinly humorous than the fore going explanation by George w. Per kins of why the company of which he Is a director is working women all night under the frightful conditions disclosed by the New York state fac tory investigating committee
 Meantime it ought to be of interest to millions of Republicans throughout the United States to know where the money comes from to finance Theo- dore Roosevelt in his campaign of rule or ruin"

told the family the house was on fire,

into use the chemicals, and within
very few minutes it was "all over"

MRS. GILL SUCCUMBS
AFTER LONG SUFFERING

After suffering six long weeks AZ
a result Of the explosion Of can OF
gasoline, death relieved the suffer-
ings of Mrs. ]. M. Gill this morn
ing shortly after l o'clock.
Reports from the trained nurse and
physician in charge have been quite
hopeful, the nurse stating that her
recovery was assured. Her condi-
ton, however. became more critical
a day or no ago on account Of q Sc
we're bilious attack, and for several
days she had been unable to retain
any nourishment whatever. Last
night she grew worse and shortly
after midnight she passed to the
great beyond.
1t will be remembered that Mrs.
Gill was terribly burned about six
weeks ago by the explosion Of a can
OF gasoline. She was preparing the
noon day meal, and, while arranging
to light the fire, she picked up what
she thought was can Of kerosene,
but which contained gasoline instead,
and poured the contents on the wood.
The can was instantly shattered into
a thousand pieces, and the woman
was covered with the burning oil.
willing hands rushed to her assist
ance but not before she was literally
burned from head to foot, her flesh
being cooked to a crisp In many
places. She was woman of won
derful constitution and will power,
and she fought against death daily
with the result that she fingered un-
til now.
The ways of Providence are for the
best, and, although the bereaved fam.
lily are bowed in grief over the loss
Of their loved one, the accident would
have left her in such q physical con-
dition that she would have been han
dicapped for life. One ear had vast.
ed away, and other portions of her
body were falling into disuse, and
she would also have borne blemishcs
which would have only brought
heartache and sadness.
The funeral was conducted thi:
morning at 1880 at Gapway, Rev
Mcclellan in charge.
