DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inhamed condi-
ton of the mucous lining of the Eusta-
chan Tube. When this tube is inflamed
you have rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed,
Deafness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed condi-
ton Of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness Caused by catarrh)

| merchants who, one after another, de-
clared that low wages were in no way
connected with white slavery. Then
the governor said:
big business cannot deny this in
the face of the overwhelming testi-
| mony of the victims themselves. Every
immoral woman that has testified has
sworn that poverty and inability to
earn enough money honestly to live
half decently, drove her into a life
of shame They were selected hap
hazard. Big business men are respon
sble for this awful condition.
Zone witness here, julius Rosen-
wald, many times millionaire and
chief owner of a business that pays
100000 profit year, admitted that
he could have paid 100000 year
more to his underpaid employees with
out seriously interfering with the prof
it's of his great concern.
1.-THE commission has crystallized
sentiment against such practices. We
have begun at the top, among those
who pay the highest of the starvation
wages. When we get down to the bot
tom, where the girls are worked 10
hours day for 81 a week and even
less we shall expose worse condi
lions.
1.-THE millionaires we have question
ed are known as philanthropists, liber
al donors to charity balls, patrons of
churches, public charities and leaders
of society.
IF we find that these men who value
their regulations enough to guard
them by liberal gifts to charitable
works are underpaying their women
employees what may we not expect?"
Here are the mail-order principles |
as shown by the lessons taught by the |
Investigation:
1. Millions for the bosses; a pitt
ince for the girls.
2. If she can't keep body and soul
ogether on what we are willing to
)ay, then let her lose whichever she
will part with.
8. We could pay $4,000 900 in wages
md give our employees a wage that
would keep them from the temptation
# living at the price of their virtue,
nut we can't spare it out of our ST.
100000 profits.

ions above virtue, whose greed has
rovided the opportunity for those hui

rade of white slave infamy, come

before you with gilded promises to
save you money Is it likely that men
who would suffer women to enter lives
of shame that they might continue to
pile up millions would hesitate to sac
rifice quality, and misrepresent to you
to get more of those millions?
The home merchant can and does
meet mail-order competition and save
you money on goods of equal quality
without disappearing them He
pays part of your tax burden, supports
your institutions, carries you over
money stringencies and occupies the
relation to you of friend.
When you trade at home you build

When you buy from the mail order

SUBSCRIBING THE INSTITUTION
OF WHITE SLAVERY.

The man who refuses to patronize
his home merchant and does his buy
ing from the mail-order house is sub
sidizing prostitution
shocking, but the story of the Illi-
nols senatorial investigation of mall
order house methods and the morality
conditions among their employees show
1t to be an absolute fact. Men and
women in Latah county who would
draw aside most carefully when pass
ing a painted lady" have for years
been contributing to the swollen for
tunes Of the Chicago milionaires who,
because they refuse their employees
living wage, drive the girls to whom
they give beggarly pittance into the
streets for livelihood.
There is no more stirring indict-
ment of business methods than that
drawn up by Lieutenant Governor
OHara after he had listened to the
callous evidence of julius Rosenwald,
president of the Sears Roebuck COM
pany, whose catalogues are to be
found in thousands of homes in Latah
county.
Rosenwald said there is no connec-
tion with low wages and prostitution.
A fact that is controverted by the ex-
perience OF every investigator of the
social evil since men have sought to
combat that influence.

\ LESSON FROM W. VIRGINIA

Summing up the lessons taught by
the election OF Democratic congress
man In Republican West Virginia
district. The Enquirer says;
This election is proof OF the con-
tinuation of the same conditions which
prevailed one year ago in the presi-
dental campaign,
"The Democras, although In Il min.
ority in the Republic. swept the field.
"The Democrats in the West Viz
ginia district, although in the minori-
ty, won the contest,
'rhe Republican party seems too old
and too decrepit to make headway
against that party, and the Progres
slyes, though active and vigorous, arc
as yet scarcely old enough o conquer
They are looking TO the future"

lot proposition: Approximately a mil
lion men, belonging to the Democrat
ic, Republican and Bull Moose parties,
cast their votes in Endorsement of the
platforms of those parties. Each plat
form contained a declaration on the
short ballot and If platforms mean
anything, then every vote cast was a
direct instruction to the governor and
the state legislature to submit to the
people for tb cir consideration the mat
ter of an amendment to the constitu-
ton on The subject vf the short bal.
lot.
Pursuant to these directions in
sisted that the Legislature submit the
proposal, and so long as remain Gov
ernor of this state, the chief execu-
tive's office will be a clearing house
where pledges to the people, will be
redeemed at one hundred cents on the
dollar.
"a million voters requested the sub
mission OF the short ballot, and 1t has
been done. No man will question the
duty imposed upon the legislature and
myself. What the people of this state
do with reference to the matter now
is their concern not mine.

day at Washington than William A.
Ashbrook His intimate familiarity
with the government departments
too, which he has acquired by faith
full industry and courteous methods,
has enabled him to render services to
his constituents with a facility that
is rarely attained by members of Con
gress. 1t is well known, furthermore,
that Mr.. Ashbrook's business methods
are such that every constituent gets
a prompt and satisfactory answer to
every letter he writes to the Congress
man.
Another reason why Mr.. Ashbrooks
constituents have cause to appreciate
and support him is his friendly, cor
dial and popular relations with his
fellow members. Being the Secretary
of the Democratic House caucus,
which position he has admirably filled
during the last two sessions of Con-
gress, Mr.. Ashbrook today possesses
confidence and respect from his
fellow members that are invaluable to
him in his efforts to obtain favors for
constituents.
The intelligence of the 18th Con
gressional district will not be slow
to grasp these facts and reasons why
William A. Ashbrook should be re-
elected for another term in Congress.
a decided sentiment for him today is
manifest ell over the district.
