HOW ABOUT 1T?

Editor Day Book have heard
and read a great deal as to why the
United States senate should be abol-
ished, but have yet to hear or read
a single argument as to why it should
not be abolished. Of course, politi-
clans and corporations defend the
senate idea, but not with honest ar
gument.
Is there among your thousands of
readers single person who is willing
to tell the readers of The Day Book

people derive from a senate, either

have the right to do as they please,
although their contract reads strictly
UNION LABOR.
Then and there they have the idea
to attempt the corruptible trick by
offering money to these business
agents and see whether they are cor
ruptible. When found easy to ap-
proach they Immediately cry graft
and expect everybody to believe
them subjects of extortion.
If the Chicago press expects the
laboring men to believe them friends
of organized labor they could show
it much better by employing union
labor throughout their establishments
first and then tell us what we have
to do.
The attempt to rid organized labor
of leaders obnoxious to the employ
ers will. not help either party, but
strengthen the workers into a more
compact body to combat all attempts
to keep wages at the starvation
point and hours long. They all see
the handwriting on the waIl.-M. w.,

hotel. Here l noted great deal of
dark precipitate in the drinking
water. Having a Zeiss microscope
with me l examined the sediment and
found it to be heavy algal growth.
This is the second place l have found
such water in Chicago. Though in
itself not harmful to the drinker,
water containing this can well harbor
other plants or other growth that is
detrimental. The health department
should look into this matter.-F. A.

Excellent Tonic 2
MRS. $. A. WEIR, S27 W. 18th s., Pueblo, Col.

.Peruna is an excellent tonic Tor the weakness that follows grip. 1T everybody could have a bottle or two of Peruna after they have had grip they would get well a great deal sooner than they usually do.
 "There is no better medicine in the world for colds and grip than Peruna. One bottle did more to re- lieve me of a bad cold and case of grip than any remedies that l have ever taken"
 Other things being equal, the ready to take medicine is the cheaper. On this phase of the sub ject Mrs. Weir says:
 q am a widow with a very small income. and have toN look to every penny very closely. Under these circumstances your medicine is a godsend to me. One bottle of Peruna t2s accomplished for me more than ali expensive course of treatment of rny other sort. Of this I feel sure. As a matter of economy every one ought to. have bottle of Peruna in the house."

B|G CAMPUS GUNS
 ARE FOREVER SPIKED |AF TER BOYS FR0L|C
Cannon Fired At University Following Taking of Vera Cruz Will Now
 Remain Silent

Two 5-inch guns which point north and south on the campus of the University of Alabama one having been used in tho defense of Tuscaloosa in the civil war and the other having been taken from one of Admiral Cervera's s ships-wil belch forth no more.
 The reason was told in Birmingham yesterday by a college boy who urged that for his own safety that his name be withheld At any rate. the reason for the closing forever of the mouths of the two old rifles was that In celebration of the landing of troops at Vera Cruz, the boys fired the gun which Cervera yielded
 zeal" said the student. We discussed methods by which we could show the proper spirit. Someone suggested that the cannon be touched off.
 That was difficult job For mem bers of the faculty had previously spiked the gun-that is, driven spike into the hole through which the fuse was intend ed to be put in touch with the powder So we prepared long fuse. and by means of stick, forced it to the rear from the muzzle. Then we pushed our powder in and packed it. Then we with drew the stick. and the fuse remained in proper place.
 The lighting of the fuse from the muzzle end of the gun was or less dangerous. But it was lighted. And then we made off. In 10 minutes. the explosion shook Tuscaloosa. People in the neighborhood ran out of their homes. People in the city raised their windows and gazed in wild speculation towards the barracks. You can imagine how ex- cited the professors were for everyone of our professors-God bless them-possesses in abundance the proper professoriai temperament And there is no tempera- ment in the world more singular in its nature.
 There was a little meeting of the pro fessors the following day. AS result, mortar, wet mortar, concrete was poured in the mouth of each gun. In an hour, the concrete was hard In day. it was so hard that never again will either of the old guns belch forth mes sage, message of joy such as our message was. or message of terror and impending deatb.'
