He's the one too who wears himself

Trying to shunt the responsibility

This country is all right. No

there are a few white-livered quit

they won't amount to anything

They are on their farms farming or
in their stores working.
There isn't a FARMER in this

anything is by mistakes. To that

our mistakes are worth more than

your mistakes shake your nerve.
Stay with it. This country is as

they wish to, regardless of whether
they have been seen by US or not.
If it becomes necessary we will take
our mail home and ponder over IT
there. People who have no better
sense than to grab exchanges they
want and take them home, either

A Live Oak minister roasts the
Times Union for publishing in its
Sunday issue picture of noted
English woman as she appeared in
q dancing role almost in state OF
nature. We are inclined to endorse
the preacher, although the Times
Union is no greater sinner in this
respect than pretty nearly all the
leading papers Of the country. 1t Is
disgusting to clean-minded people
to have to look at such pictures In
the papers they buy to read, and
nothing is surer or palmer than that
they are put there, not In the cause
of art or of news, but to cater to
the salacious appetites of that large
class of readers whose numbers are
rapidly increased by this very scheme
of printing such indecent pictures.
Undoubtedly the minds Of the young
OF both sexes are injured by such
sights, impure emotions find lodge

LABOR MEN FAVOR
PAY DAY CHANGES
Move to Have Weekly Stipend
Distributed Fridays Receives
Endorsement in Capital,

The movement recently started in Bal
timore by the labor unions for the es-
tabIIshment of a general weekly pay
day on Fridays, instead OF Saturdays,
as is now the practice, and which has
taken definite form in the Monumental
City, is likely to receive impetus in
Washington, as the labor organizations
in this city are deeply concerned in the
proposition. The Federation of Labor
of Baltimore is engineering the move
ment in that city, and it is probable
that the matter will be championed in
Washington by the Central Labor
Union
When the Maryland State and District
of Columbia Federation of Labor meets
at Frederick. Md, August % to Is, some
practical steps will be taken looking
to the making Of weekly pay days Fri
day instead of Saturday. John B. Col
poys. secretary of the Central Labor
Union and editor of the Trades Union
list, said last night that the proposition
meets with the unanimous indorsemnet
OF the army of laboring men of the Dis
trict.
He pointed out that II the la5oring
men were paid Fridays the housewives
OF the lahoring men would be enabled
TO go to market Saturday mornings to
advantage, instead of going Saturday
nights, as they are now compelled 10 do.
With this trade eliminated from the
Saturday night markets the markets
could close early Saturday nights.

FAVORS THE SOUTH

Charging that the Wilson-Underwoo
tariff bill is dangerous to free institu-
tons. because 1t abandons the pro-
tective policy. Senator Dillingham; of
Vermont today told the upper house
that the measure discrimlnates in favor
Of the Southern against all Northern
industries. Particularly. he asserted.
does it threaten the people of New
England.
Dillingham; argued that high wages
had always been essential to the MAIN
tenance of republican. as opposed to
monarchical' forms of government, and
that Republicans must continue actively
to guard the industrial welfare of their
citizens against foreign competition.
MS ne Sald, was the reason for the
policy under which Americans MANN
featuring industries have been built up.
He urged \the creation of a permanent
tariff board, which should revise all
duties by the test of difference in cost
