UNEMPLOYED AND COLD sToR-

AGE-It is. with great interest that 1
read the article by Jane Whitaker on
how Mrs. Rowe is trying to solve the
unemployed problem.
In reading it one would suppose
that the thing necessary for the So
called bum is work and plenty of it.
In my opinion that would do no more
good than it would do good to pray
the Lord with tuberculosis. The thing
necessary is to keep these buns at
the least expense possible.
A short time ago read in a medi-
cal journal how some learned sur
geons had cut out a dogs heart, and,
after keeping it in cold storage for
a while, sewed it back and the animal
lived. 1t has always been the prac-
tice of the expert to experiment on
the human being whenever and
wherever possible. Let's give them
the opportunity. IA
What Chicago should do is to build
a large cold storage plant and put
Mrs. Rowe in charge of a competent
staff of surgeons, who would operate
and put these buns in cold storage.
Then when the farmers and the rail-
roads wanted some men they could

their raid. Ireland is not yet entirely
freed, even if the Irish are fighters.
Murphy was a failure as leader of the
Cubs. Lee, Beauregard and Stone-
wall Jackson were not Irish. The
Duke of Wellington would have been
licked by Napoleon if the German
Prussian troops had stayed away.
Admiral Sturdee is English. 1t was
Lawrence, an Englishman, who said:
Don't give up the ship"
Admiral Farragut was French. Let
us remember we are all Americans
here and there is honor enough for
all, but no one nationality should
claim everything. When we record
deeds let us tell both sides in justice
to all. l believe in Irishmen and /
know they are among the biggest
hearted people on earth, but let US
go fifty-ffty on this hero and honor
stuff. : Allen Steven, 1925 N. Ridg-
way Az.

Catnonc, because in Chicago there
were three Catholics to one Protes-
tant.
If F. ]. Lee will go to civics room
of the public library he will find in
the special reports of the Bureau of
Census Religious Bodies, 1906, Part
l., pages 80-81, that there were upon
that date 568, 764 Roman Catholics in
the city of Chicago. If he will then
consult the census reports on popula-
ton he will find that Chicago had
population of 2,185,2S3 in 1910.
This would reverse the statement
of F. ]. Lee. In place of three Cath
oIics to one Protestant there are
three non-Catholics to one Catholic.

ACTUAL FAcTS.-Why is it that
so many people exaggerate? 1 guess
we all do. 1t is hard to be impartial
We see it every day in war argu-
ments. One writer tries to tell us
that all the great winners are or were
Irishmen. Jack Johnson, Willard and
many more heavyweights are not
Irish. Jack Root, never-defeated
light middleweight, was not Irish.
The champion on the British Isles
is a Welshman. The champion on
the continent is a Frenchman, and

Yousouf the Turk and Frank Gotch,
are not Irish. Joe Cans and others
were not Irish. l am not well posted
on all champions, but let's be fair and
divide honors. The Irish have not yet
licked the Germans, nor did they ever
win a battle on Irish soil. l have
heard people say time and again that
Irishmen in rough and tumble fight
ing, right up, man to man, will get
licked every time when fighting other
nationalities. In treacherous fights
the Irish always win. On the other
hand, there have been cases where
one treacherous criminal has cleaned
up empty-handed three or four Irish
policemen. Phil Sheridan, Logan
and Sherman needed a Grant for a
leader, who was not Irish. George
Washington was of English origin.

HOW TO RESTORE GOOD BUSI-
NESS CONDITIONS

The truth about unemployment, de-
preston and distress was told by an
American business man in plain, bust
nesss-like fashion by William Sproule,
president of the Pacific system of the
Southern Pacific Company, in a recent
address before the Traffic club of Chi
cago. While not ~attributing in express
terms the existing conditions to the
operation of an industry-wreeking and
misunderstanding Free-Trade Tariff
President Sproule clearly indicated
his opinion in that connection when he
predicted that good times could only
come again "when returning prosperi-
ty for employers should spell prospect
ty for the unemployed He went fur
ther and took exception to any sug-
gestion that business conditions would
be better if business men believed they
would be better. Mr.. Sproule is quoted
as saying:
"The booster lifts nothing higher
than the level of his own teeth. The
trumpeter of prosperity beguiles only
his W ears. Prosperity is real, or
it does not exist. We do not have to
look for it; it comes to us. 1t grows
within our sight, like a plant coming
in flower. 1t comes to us when the en-
ployer resumes employment, and it
will not come to US until the people
generally, whether their capacity be
large or small, whether they work with
their muscles or with their minds, dis
cover that their conditions improves
only as their employer is prosperous.
"But why is this period of unem-
ploymentY 1t is because all business
is bewildered and uncertain. A long
period of Misrepresentation, misunder-
standings and pettifogging has so
misled the public mind that, through
out the country, every prosperous bust
ness, indeed every organization, pros
porous or not, which is big enough to
attract the public platform performer,
finds that it exists in an atmosphere
of attack
Real progress toward improved con
ditions is made when American bust
ness men tell the plain truth regard
ing present conditions. Nothing is
gained by pretending a prosperity
which does not exist. Business cannot
lift itself by its own bootstraps. When
Free-Trade hostility to business gives
place to Protection helpfulness to
business, we shall have good business
conditions, and not until then.-Amer-
lean Economist.

BATTING THE RAILROADS

Ever since the first railroad of the
country secured its charter and started
to build, these corporations have been
held up by public men, and as well by
private citizens temporarily in posi-
tion to dictate terms to them. The re-
suit has been that at the present time
they are SO hedged about by legal re
s%traints that it is well-nigh impossible
for them to keep their heads above
water.
James j. Hill, the great railroad
builder and optimist, told the Mime
sofa legislature, the other day, that
the railroads were down and out, or
words to that effect, and were no
longer in position to compete with
each other. Mr.. Hill has had a large
experience with legislatures, and more
especially with the Minnesota legis-
~lature, and knows the cost of secur-
ing charters and preventing the grant
ing of franchises to competing lines.
His statements may be taken as ex
eathedra.
The general run of business men'are
of the opinion hat it is time to quit
batting the railroads and give them
an opportunity to "cateh their
breaths.' Now that Congress has ad-
journed and most of the state legis-
l~atures will not be heard from again
for another I'VE years, let the railroads
nav a short breathing spell.
Railroads have come to be looked
upon as the great barometers of bust
try can be prosperous with its raj
roads on the verge of bankruptcy.

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 infiamed CON
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have a umbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely 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 iuflaned condition of
the mucous surfaces.
