DECLARES GOMPERS
Head Of A. F. Of L. Says Lobby
Investigation Has Shown Up
Its Corrupt Methods.

"A complete, convincing exposure o

This Is what President Samuel Com.

That the Investigation has not been

He said It was inconceivable that either
the Senate or House committees would
favor or attempt to report legislation
cutting off the right Of American citi-
gems to appeal to their Representatives

For the first time President Gompers
gave some ''inside information" regard

people now know how 1t has attempted

THE cause under investigation was
not between the N. A. u. and organised
people OF the United States.
Here lies the difference between the
legislative efforts Of the N. A. ID. and
friends of labor-the N. A. NJ used
corrupt methods for politically corrupt
purposes: the friends Of labor used
the hetterment Of humanity and human
rights
"The legislation which labor sought
was in the interest Of humanity, TO

A town, to be good" town, must have good stores stores that handle large assortments and offer the same: values and styles at the same prices asked elsewhere.
 Good local shopping facilities, however, depend entirely upon the extent of patronage accorded merchants by community .con- sumerS.
 Those who live in the smaller towns often say they are forced to shop elsewhere, because their local stores do not carry the specific articles they want. If these people would make their wants known to their home mer- chants, in nearly every case, these merchants would supply them.
 Bear in mind that a portion of every dollar spent in your local stoSes applies to the building and maintenance of your schools, churches, good roads, streets and sidewalks-in fact, every i'm provement that goes to make your community attractive from every commercial and social standpoint.

 Gov. Hays is endeavoring to strike a happy medium. He does not aspire to be known as great pardoner. neither does he wish to be known as a governor who will grant no pardons at all. It is his purpose to give every indi- vidual case a full consideration as it comes up.
 T think all will agree with me-" said he, that the pardon ing power has been greatly abused in Arkansas. My long experience on the bench has taught me that there are very few really innocent men ever con- victed, while there are undoubt- edly a great many that go un- whipped of justice.

If you have children to edu- cate; if you are interested in re- ligious matters; if you own a home or other property in your community, you should patronize your local merchants whenever practicable. It is to your inter- est to do this.
 Of course there are merchants in every town who will not carry standard lines and who expec their customers to buy their un- known goods at standard prices; however, there are progressive merchants in every locality who handle brands that are sold everywhere at uniform prices, whose quality is known to all who read and keep up with the times.
 Trademarked Advertised mer- chandise always offers maximum values and can be secured in smallest towns to as good advan- tage as elsewhere.
 No manufacturer will put his name and trademark on an arti- cle and then spend large sums of money advertising it unless his goods come up to his claims in every respect.
