BY means Of 4 small handle. a strong

Providence, r. l." "Boss-ridden politi-
cal conventions can furnish better can
didates than the primaries. Labor un-
ions have gained control of our legisla-
lures and should be made to appreciate
the spirit of the constitution Labor has
made special class of itself. The boy
colt is unfair and should be abolished
by law. Our railroads are being ground
between the upper and neither stones of
the legislative mills"
These were some Of the declarations
made by William Howard Taft Satur-
day in speech delivered at the dinner
of the Southern New England Textile
Club at the Narragansett Hotel
Speaking on the question of primaries,
Taft said they were fraud" and
should be driven into the eternal"
OF the principle of the initiative and
referendum he said it was foolish" to
allow the people to vote on complex
legislation, and that, while he had been
spoken of an enemy OF the people, he
believed in speaking the plain truth to
the people.
Everybody knows that Taft was never
try, and it was the personality of Roose-
welt who forced his nomination and the
endorsement of Teddy which elected
him. Sam Blythe, in the Saturday Even
ing Post. has this to say on the sub ject ::
"The Colonel had kindly set forth for
the suffrages and support of the Repub-
lican party his secretary of war Mr..
William Howard Taft and had decreed
that all pother over the nomination for
the presidency should cease; had reliev-

on which was the inscription: 'Compli-

observing some hesitancy among the
leaders of the party over accepting so
important gift from man, who, to
the leaders, was almost an entire strang-
er SO far as social and political rela-
tons went the Colonel intimated, as has
been set forth, that if the leaders and
the party did not care for the gift he
so kindly set before them, they would
get him in its stead, thereby accomplish
ing two things, to wit: He secured the
nomination of Mr.. Taft, and he estab-
lished himself as the Grand Alternative
of American Politics. You see, it was
this way: Much as the leaders depre-
Gated the accession of Mr.. Taft, they
depl ecated the continuance of Mr.
Roosevelt still more, and they took the
Taftian horn of the dilemma.
Watch the Dust.
-Four years later another situation
arose demanding attention from Mr..
Roosevelt. 1t appears that Mr.. Taft had
not obeyed orders from his creator, or
had obeyed them, or something, and the
Colonel felt it incumbent on him to cor
rect this state of affairs by proposing
himself again as an Alternative, but
whimsically putting a twist to it by say
ing, 'If they don't take me they'll get
Taft SO they took Taft. and thereup-
on the Colonel saw to it that they
meaning the leaders OF the Republicans
and the rank and file got neither him
self or Taft, and became, in fact. the
Grand Alternative as well as the Grand
Alternative, for while an Alternative, in
scientific jargon, is intended to bring
back body to normal state, an alter
native in politics works with increased
effect and brings a body to a subnormal
state-which, indeed, is the present con-
dition of the Republicans

COLORADO STRIKE WON,
WALSH TELLS MINERS

indianapolis, Ind.-"The strike in the
coal fields of Colorado was won, be-
cause you compelled John d. Rockefeller
to accept the responsibility for every
thing that occurred in the State of Colo
rado,' said Frank p Walsh, in an ad-
dress before the convention of the
United Mine Workers of America
"The strike was won again, because
you have compelled him to publicly &C
knowledge facts that underlie the right
of collective bargaining on the part of
workers. You won the fight because you
compelled him to get up a bogus organi
zation, but one that will teach the work
ers the first principle at least, of getting
together, and one that when you begin
to get action in the intelligent way that
you have heretofore done in other coal
fields of the United States will establish
real collective bargaining under the
United Mine Workers of America in the
field of Colorado. 1t has taught les
sons, my friends, far beyond the mar
row field in Colorado. 1t received the
background of the testimony of hundreds
of employers who have dealt with their
employees collectively for more than a

OPPOSES PROPOSED LABOR LAW

Grand Rapids Mich.-Trade unionists
are calling attention to the last-century
viewpoint of State Senator Verdier, who
announced his opposition to proposed
State compensation law amendments in
a speech before convention of con-
tractors.
The organized workers are asking that
this law be changed SO that occupational
diseases are included and that the time
before benefits can be paid shall be re-
duced from two weeks to one week. The
latter proposal has aroused Senator Yer
dier's wrath. He says it will permit
Soldering" and that it is not the in
tention of the law ito pay for slight in
juries." The law-maker processes a won
derful insight into the minds of workers
and intimates that they will deliberately
injure themselves to secure an extra
weeks benefit. The plan to pay for the
loss of nose or an ear is looked upon
by Senator Verder as scheme "to pay
compensation for spoiled beauty" He
makes this reference to the proposed oc-
cupational disease amendment
What seems to me the most ridiculous
and foolish amendment is one to require
compensation for disability or death
caused by so-called occupational dis
eases; that is, diseases contracted from
and on account of the nature of mans

not materially decrease, but as the proc

increases until the production grad
ually diminishes toward Sept. 1.
Usually egg laying will not commence

advocate forcing the mott. This may
be done by practically starving the
hens for a week or ten days and then
putting them on heavy ration Of rich
food. While this does cause a quick
mott, experimental evidence does not
show it promot1ve Of good later egg
production. This is probably due to
the general constitutional shock caused
by the starving process followed by
heavy feeding. The general consensus
Of opinion is that it is best to let nature
take it's course, while man simply sees
to it that the environment which the
hen needs, together with her feed and
care, is as nearly ideal as possible.
The feeding Of melting hens should
not differ greatly from that of laying
hens. Both eggs and feathers are rich
In nitrogen, so food adaptable for
eggs will also make feathers. How
ever, the latter are richer in oil than
eggs, and some food Of oily nature
should be added to the ration to sup
