There is only one way to cure deafness

Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-

Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
lnfamed you have a rumbling 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 norma
condition, hearing will be DESTROYED

BAD LEGISLATION.

The Adamson bill passed by Con-
erpss last week is the most vicious leg
islation ever passed by theCongress OF
the United States since its birth
Ii is vicious because 1t Is devoid of
all principle, in fact, contrary to al.
principles Of justice and right vi
cious furthermore because it means
the decentralization of all labor in this
country.
We doubt seriously il there is a
single member OF Congress in either
house who voted for the measure who
did so with any principle in view
The measure was passed under poll
teal pressure, without investigation
or any knowledge OF the facts in dis
putes between the railroads and the
brother hoods. To use the express
sion Of one United States Senator,
Congress = assed the bill With a lis-
toll ,piate at its head" surrender ng
principle and submitting to fea'. Fear
of what? Fear If the labor vote in
the coming election. The brother
hoo Il are msae up Of men aud we
suppose men of reason, therefore, we
bellows that they would lave 1 cen
sati,li' d had Congress passed meas
ure through viii II fair and full in
vestigation Of the differences between
them and the railroad could have
been made and abidcd by the results
of reason.
The excuse given for its passage
by some, was, that il was a necessity
in order to prevent the threatened
strike. We say the strike could have
been prsventei by the passage of a
measure requiring such disputes to
be submitted to arbitration and i'm
posing a severe penalty upon those
who refust d TO submit TO arbitration
of the matters in controversy and
likewise making it a criminal offense
with a severe penalty attached for
any perso 1 or persons to strike until
after the decision Of the arbitrator.
There would have been ieason in this
kind of legislation and principle also.
Labor unions are all right when
formed and carried along the lines of
common sense for the betterment of
labor conditions throughout the
e-untry. We believe that labor
should have safe means of work, san-
itary conditions Of work, reasonable
hours for work. wholesome hours for
recreation and provision for old age
bat we say that it was wrong from
every standpoint Of reason and pIie-
clple for Congress to pass such legis-
laiion as IL embraced in Adamson
bill.
The door has been thrown wide
open by this act Of Congress to strikes
all oven the country. Hardly had
the railroad strike been ayerted be-
ore another takes place in New York
city and that will conlinne until Con-
gress sets itself right along the line of |
reason and principle in such cases.
1t is to be hoped that the Congress
If the United States will before its
adjournment, which il expected til
come shortly, pass some legisla-
ton that will prevent strikes in the
future and provide means Of inves-
tigation and arbitration through
when the demands of labor may be
settled satisfactorily to it as well as
employers along the hnes of common
sem e, justice and reason.

Good Road Boosters.

On Friday last, a bunch Of live
wires from this place made a run
to Natchitoches, to boost the con-
struction of Jefferson Highway
through the parishes of Sabine
ana Natchitoches. So far as De-
Soto parish is concerned it is an
assured fact, as the money is on
hand, the gravel purchased and
work will soon commence.

The run. a distance of fifty-6ve
miles, was made in a little less
than three hours, and the tourists
had a pleasant trip. The party.
found that the people of Sodus
and vicinity we're aroused to the
necessity Of constructing the nine
miles of the Jefferson Highway,
that passes through Sabine parish,

district and will vote a tax to do
the work and there seems to be
but little doubt but that the tax
will carry,
At NatChitoches an enthusiastic
meeting was held, which was pre-
sided over by Hon. Phanor Brea-
zeate, and from the enthusiasm
manifested 1t seems certain that
old Natchitoches will be no laggard
in this great work of civic I'M
provement.
The Mansfield Boosters made a
pleasant run back home and were
all delighted with the experience
of the day, and feel sure that the
Louisiana section of the Jefferson
Highway, from New Orleans to
Winnipeg, will be one of the first
sections completed and ready for
use.-Mansfield Enterprise.
