Atlanta Still Excited.

Atlanta people continue TO report
many strange and wonderful benefits
that are following the use Of the new
Root Juice medicine in that city.
Persons who suffered from indiges-
tion, loss of appetite, pains, bloating
and distress after eating, constipation
billiousness and headaches say that a
few doses correct the trouble. The
appetite Increases and the stom ach
seems able to digest anything.
Mrs. Andrew Barney, residing at ga
sDecatur ST., who has been sufferer
from stomach, liver and kidney trou-
BILE for over two years, in q statement
Issued for publication said: 81 suffer
ed dreadfully from Indigestion, belch-
ing, headaches and paiusin the small
of nv back. At times I had no appe-
tite and at other times could not
sleep, was nervous, irritable and
worrysome and felt all run down. l
used the new Root Juice medicine on
sly two weeks but already feel great
deal better. My Indigestion is nearly
gone, can eat almost anything and
for the first time in two years I sleep
fine. Before taking this Root Juice
treatment tried six different medi-
cines and four doctors.
J The medicine seems to possess strange
power in relieving disorders of the
stomach, liver and kidneys and many
sufferers from rheee maladies have re-
ported complete cures.
In view ofth wonderful benefits be-
ing derived from it's use by persons in
other places it would seem advisable
for all home people who seek health
to at least give it a thorough test.

Stomach Trouble.

Mrs. Wilson Robinson, 704 Nessle ST.,
Toledo, Ohio, writes:
81 feel like a new person. I have
no more heavy feelings, no more pain,
don't belch up gas, can eat most any,
thing without it hurting me. 1 want
to be working all the time. I have
gained twenty-four pounds.
"People that see me now and saw
me two months ago seem astonished.
I tell them Peruna did 1t. I will say
it is the only remedy for spring and
all other ailments"

Persons Who Were Helpless
From Disease Rise Up al
most as if by a Miracle
After Using Strange
New Liquid
Many Southern People Among
Those Who Report the
Most Astonishing
Results.

A news message from Fort Wayne,
Ind, says that city is now in tur-
MOL over many astonishing cures that
are being effected by the strange new
liquid, Root Juice, which has been
creating sensation in Atlanta for the
past few weeks.
Mrs. J. Schondell, who lives at 61o
Madison ST., Fort Wayne, had suffered
for years with rheumatism which be-
came 50 bad that she was helpless.
She had tried doctors and patent med
ie;nes without results and had about
given up hope when the wonderful
power Of the famous Root Juice treat
ment became known.
The startling story Of her recovery
is best told in her own words, taken
from signed statement which she
recently gave out. Regarding her case
Mrs. Schondell says: Il was unable
to move and had to be carried from
one place to another. After trying
doctors and medicines without success
began using the RooS Juice and can
say t. at when I had taken two bottles
Twas able to walk without assistance
and am now once more taking care OF
my household duties. The medicine

Hillsville, Va, March 19.-The chase
of the Allen outlaws, who shot up the
Carroll county court house last Thurs
day and now have FIVE deaths to their
credit for that sorties, has settled
down to siege.
All that the posses known is that
the gang probably is up'in the Chest
nut ridge. Travellers coming down
from Fancy Gap said the Aliens had
deSar:o1 thoIi o.auu au Squirrel spur
and plunged into the thicker country
over toward the Patrick county line.
That is. more of a wilderness than
their previous stand. At some places
the boundary lines have never been
located.
1t now looks like all attempt to
starve out the assassins. The posses
have been spread over the roads, and
the crossroads and byways have been
we'll covered. By this method they
hope to cut eff f~od supplies and prob
ably medical attention.

THE ILLUSTRATED LECTURES.

The fifty-fve slides for the stereopti
con pictures to be illustrated by Com
rades Robert and Thomas Knight have
arrived and the comrades will be ready
to start. One lecture has nearly fifty
pictures illustrating the old and new
methods of production and is called the
Evolution of the Machine. The other
lecture is called The Socialists at Work
and shows in fifty-fve pictures the activ.
tiles and progress we are making in Mil.
waukee.
They will be routed to any place we
can reasonably well reach, in regards to
transportation and where hall will be
furnished for two nights, that are wired
for either arc or incandescent light. so
they can attach the lantern to show the
pictures on a screen. The local com
rades must furnish room and meals and
can either sell admission tickets or take
up collection. as they see fit.
Those who call for dates for the illus
trated lectures by the Knight boys and
desire to sell admission tickets will be
furnished with 25-cent tickets that will
buy 25 cents worth of any literature pub
lished by Chas. II. Kerr & Co., or 1t will
pay for three months subscription to
The international Socialist Review, so
the lecture will be free to the purchaser,
as this ticket has that purchasing power
until used. The state office will allow a
discount on these tickets OF 25 per cent,
to help the local comrades to pay the ex-
penses and this will induce many to get
literature that would not otherwise buy
it.
You will understand that those who

PROPOSED MEMBERSHIP REFEREN.
DUMS.

New Windsor local has initiated the
following proposed amendment to our
state party constitution:
Amend section of article vi, by add
ing the following words: Provided that
a special stamp shall be furnished by
the state secretary at cost, to be used
when any party member may be tenn
porarily unable to pay dues on account
of unemployment. Unemployment shall
mean either sickness, strikes, lockouts
or any other cause beyond the control
of the member. Any member unable to
pay dues shall notify the financial sec
retary of his organization of such in
ability and the secretary shall affix the
special stamps in the same manner as
the regular dues stamps. The accept
ance of these stamps by any member
snail in no way act TO disqualify such
member from any and all the rights and
privileges of members paying dues, ex-
cept that the organizations shall not be
allowed to report to the state office more
votes cast than the organization has paid
dues for; otherwise the whole vote of
that organization will be rejected"
New Windsor local has initiated the
following state membership referendum:
THE salary OF the state secretary of
the Socialist party shall be $500 a
month until May l. 1913"
Both of the above proposed referen-
dums will remain open for seconding Of
same for 80 days, or until enough do so
that are equal to either 10 per cent. of
the membership or 10 per cent of the
organizations in the state. from not less
than two other counties besides Weld.

police force on ten hours; they formerly
were on duty eight hours.
These reformers, with their brand of
economy, remind me of the railroad 5
method of economy. They start in by
cutting the wages OF the section men in
order to economic.
Do you know that the present form OF
government in Los Angeles is another
reform plan, with a non-partisan brand
of reformers in office, known as Good
Government party, and If there is 4
spot in this country where the workers
have been prosecuted and prosecuted in
the last two years it is Los Angeles, and
at the last election the progressives, in
surgents, reformers and conservatives,
all lined up against the Socialist party
candidates.
So you see the workers are film
flammed, robbed and skinned by the re-
formers as well as by the reactionists,
the only ones who will stop the robbery
of the workers, is the workers them
selves. So don't be misled by these re-
formers who want to get the other fel-
low out of office, in order to get in them
selves. Vote the Socialist ticket straight,
you workers, and you will vote your own
class into office, thereby using the gov
ernment in behalf of the workers, in
stead of the shirkers as is now done.
Some patient crank has figured out
that there is sixteen thousand laws on
the statute books, for us free American
citizens to obey, yet the judges say ig-
norance of the law is no excuse. How
many of these laws are in the interest
of the working class?

SHOWS GAINS OF UNIONS
USING POLITICAL ACTION.

Los Angeles, Cal.-OrganiZed labor in
this state is beginning to greatly change
it's attitude toward Socialism and the
Socialist party. Two years ago the So
cialists were refused the use of the La
Dor Temple to hold meetings and the
general temperament of organized labor
was antagonistic.
Recently the California building trades
council indorsed the Socialist party and
big movement is on to have the state
federation of labor also indorse it at its
next convention, and it is thought this
will be done.
In speaking of the condition of organ
lied labor in Los Angeles since the
unions have turned to political action,
L. w. Butler, secretary of the Central
Labor Council of this city, said:
During the year organized labor has
made phenomenal gains. When the
forces that have fought against us are
taken into consideration, we have prob
ably been the most militant city and
have accomplished more than any city
in America. In fact, the closing year
has been our banner year. We have now
arrived at that point in our industrial
journey where we should stand pat and
remain true to the cause that has for its
purpose the uplift of humanity
81 thoroughly believe that organized
labor in Los Angeles has taken the right
step in afiiliating with and supporting
the Socialist party. 1t should take such
action all over the United States.
Locally we have increased in numer-
cal strength from G,1SS to nearly 10000
We have made Los Angeles one of the
best union label cities on the coast. At
the last election we assisted in piling up
$4,000 votes for the head of the working
class ticket. The coming year should
add greater laurels to the crown of
Labor"

Votes of the organizations of Boulder
City, Ibex of Lake county, Pueblo, Trim
idad and Lone Tree of Yuma county,
were not tabulated because no ballot en-
velopes, nor any other record to show
what members voted accompanied the
reports, as is required by our constitu-
ton.
Gorham Branch of Boulder county was
not tabulated because it was only organ
lied in January, and had not paid dues
for February, thus failing on the two
months limit required.
The vote on national committeeman
in Second ward, Denver, was not counted
as there were only six members that
voted and report was eight votes for the
four candidates.
The vote on state secretary at Monu-
ment was not tabulated, as only five
members voted and eight votes reported
for the three candidates.

Some people think because we don't
raise disturbances and throw bombs or
commit murders that we are not getting
along very fast. But those who have an
opportunity to be informed and reflect
back when they read the report of the
last membership vote taken on the elec.
tion of party officials in the state will
feel differently.
In 1907 the total vote cast for state
secretary was 1S0 and the total member.
ship for the year was AIS. Now the vote
for secretary was 623 and the member
ship for last year was 1000.
The total members that paid dues for
last month was 800 and the state Office
dispensed 1000 monthly duesstamps.
Fifty-five organizations made monthly
reports for last month, showing over
1000 members paid up to date and a
total membership of over 1,600. The
amount of dues-stamps sold and the per
centage of the organizations that filed
the monthly report is unprecedented in
the history of the party of the state.
But 1t can partly be accounted for by
the knowledge that the members are
anxious to take an active part in the
election of the officials as well as in the
propaganda of its principles. The provi-
sions in our party constitution that any
member who votes must be paid up for
the previous month, as well as for the
month in which he casts his vote, also
that all organizations that fail for three
months to make monthly report shall
not have its vote counted.
Out of the fifty-one organizations that
reported vote not one failed on account
of not having reported and only one
failed because the dues were not paid

You WORKERS VINO are advocates OIL tHe
commission form of government, have
you been keeping tab on the work of the
reformers who advocated the commission
form of government, and succeeded in
having it adopted in the city of Pueblo,
and themselves elected to all the offices.
If you have you will probably realize that
the Socialists know what they are talk
ing about when they oppose that form
of government. Now what effect has 1t
had on the union men of Pueblo? Here
are a few results: First, 1t threw the
bars down and allowed every Office
seeker to run for Office. The result was
there were fifteen union men seeking the
five offices, and 1 suppose If there had not
been that many the capitalists would
have offered inducements to have a
large number in the race. The result was
not one labor man had look in. Now
compare the Socialist method with the
above. We have a political party of the
workers. We take referendum vote
on who our candidates shall be. and then
go down the line for them, thereby not
dividing our strength.
Second-One of the first things the re-
formers did after getting into Office in
Pueblo, was to fire several union men
who were inspectors.
Third-The next move was to compel
other city employees to work twelve
hours per day. when the chatter says
eight hours is a days work.
