FACTS ABOUT WORKING DAY
During the Last Twenty-Five Years u
Has Only Been Shortened an
Hour.

We are far better on than We were
nfty or seventy years ago. the New
York Republic observes. At the begin
ming Of the century. the wage Garner
labored from sun to sun. and later.
when expensive machinery and artin'
cial light were introduced into the fac
tories. the working day was extended
far into the night. In 1910 American
cotton operatives worked II hours per
day, and as late as 1852 10 hours. while
today the average working day In the
mills is under ten hours. The hours OF
labor Of farm laborers. except in har-
vest times. seem to have diminished.
and in q considerable number Of occu-
pations, notably in the building trades.
an eight hour day has been introduced.
In other occupations. affecting the
health Of the workers or In which
women and children are largely en-
ployed. a shorter working day has
been secured by legislation. But this
progress, though considerable. 10 not
nearly 80 great as il generally sup
posed. The ten hour day still pre-
walls in most industries, while the II
and IL hour day 10 far from being ex-
tinct. During the ten years from 1891
to 1901, the average working day fell
only quarter Of an hour. In the last
rs years, less than one hour has been
taken from the hours Of daily labor.

Peary Saws He Knows,

Lord Rayleigh 10 one Of the most
interesting members Of the British
peerage.
His lordship IL q noted scientist, and
It was for his scientific work that he
received the high honor Of the Order
Of Merit. Although Lord Rayleigh Ia
q profound scholar. he has q humor
GUS side to his nature, and he once
played q neat little joke on o learned
friend with whom he had been dis
cussing some deep subjects.
What is the difference between the
north and south poles?" he asked very
gravely.
His lordship's friend thought he had
a new scientific problem to grapple
with and brought all the weight Of
his brain to bear upon the question
II really must give It up" he said al
last.
THE answer is simple enough" re
piled Lord Rayleigh with q smile
there is all the difference In the

nation.

Business men, professional men
artisans and inumerable women
Of unquestioned honesty and in
tegrity have been benefited by
Tanlac, and are expressing an
abiding faith in the premier
preparation, as a medicine of un-
usual merit in instances of stom-
ach, kidney and intestinal de-
engagements. as we'll as catarrh.
Mrs. Anna McCutchen, residing
at $50 South Main Street, Wich-
ita, Kansas, has the following to
say about Taulac.
Il had no appetite for a long
time, l was awfully nervous and
run down. My head ached most
all the time and there was con-
tinual hurting in my stomach.
l seemed to be growing worse
day by day, and felt very much
uneasy about my health.
MY son also was in poor
health, and his trouble was about
like mine. He suffered from
nervousness, severe headaches,
could not sleep we'll at nights
and his appetite was not very
good.
I'VE both have been taking
Tanlac for several weeks, and l
can truthfully say that our health
has improved wonderfully. Our
appetites are fine, we are not
troubled with nervousness, and
the headaches are a thing of the
past. We think Tanlac is the
greatest medicine on earth, and
highly recommend it to those
who are suffering from the all
ments that burdened us for
years."
Tanlac can be obtained in Bax-
ter Springs at the M. E. Reddy
Drug Store for ST 90 a bottle

Pathos In otisr Of Durmess Villagers
to Como 70 the Assistance Of
Great Empire.

L. p. Jacks tells this wellAuthenti-
Gated story In the Yale Review. Il
comes from q civil ofiicer IN Q remote
part Of Burma.
One early morning not long ago
this oficer found an ancient Burman
squatting on his heels In front OF the
bungalow whom he recognized 40 the
head man Of village distant so miles
away in the hills.
Questioned by the officer 90 to the
purpose for which he had undertaken
30 long q journey through the Jungle.
the old man replied 90 follows:
"Thakin (master). my villagers
wish to make some return for the ia
vors bestowed upon IN by the British
government.
And now I am come to tell you that
we have in our village eight guns, an
cient and we'll tried and all held under
q license granted by the most honor
able Thakin; We have also four
pounds Of excellent gunpowder in q
bottle and q bag Of bullets: these be-
ing neither more nor less than the
Thakin's license permits u to hold.
Moreover, there are In our village
two crackers who have proved their
skill in the capture Of dacoits. Thakin,
we have heard q rumor that the Brit
ish government IL in great trouble
with its enemies.
Wherefore, our villagers have en-
powered me to say that the eight
guns. bottle Of gunpoWder. the bag Of
bullets and the two crackers are freely
at the disposal Of the British govern
ment."

Such is the theory of public

iugs it is just the reverse The
official becomes the master"
and usually pays but scaut heed
to the wishes of the people until
the rumblings warn him that il
is time to hedge before the break
ing of the storm.
With congress in session we
will have many real masters
making laws for their osteusible
masters to obey. Some of these
laws will be good, others will be
OF doubtful value, while a few
may be even obnoxious or vicious
from our point OF view.
The wishes a1d desires of the
people will be of little avail with
these masters" for the reason
that it is difficult to induce the
people to assert themselves on
any given subject or proposed
measure.
But how different it might be
if the people would only display
little more iniative and make
their wishes and demands known
to congressman and senator's be-
fore the latter cast their votes!
We all know how it would
work, but here is the way it does
work today.
A new bill is introduced in
congress, but it does not meet
with the approval of the people
of our particular district. 1r
fact, we may consider that it i:

Isn't II about time for the peo-
pie of this district to tell our rep.
resentatives in congress just
what we of the district want,
and that II is up to them to get
il or make way for others who
can and will? In any event,
isn't II about time for us to insist
that they vote as we say and NOT
as they think?
Collectively the people are all
powerful and their will can not
be resisted, but individually they
have about as much weight as

We are not writing this in a
spirit of criticism of our repre-
seutstives in congress, for we be-
lieve that if they are given to
understand the nature of our de.
mands they will be cheerfully
complied with.
But we do hope that these few
words may induce at lease a rea-
sonable number of our people to
communicate directly with our
senator's aud congressman when
ever a measure is before the ma
tional body that is of vital inter
est to our section of the state or
