the United States. And, Mr.. PresI

to be saved from war, in my pool
judgment there is one step more inn
portant than any other, if we are I'd
preserve our peace under existing con

people of the country that we ard
without divisions at this moment; that
we are thinking only of the United

ternational questions. If we exhibit
divisions we exhibit weakness, and
weakness is the temptation to those
intolerable aggressions which would
surely bring the war that we all seek
honorably to avoid,
my earnest hope is that at this
time personal feelings, political feel
ings, political enmities will all be laid
aside, that we may remember only
that we are citizens of common
country; that we are all Americans,
and that our first duty is to stand
together in this controversy, which
has unhappily arisen with other ma

OVER 100000 PEOPLE ARE
NOW DOING SO.

For many years physicians have agreed
that the majority of human ills were
caused by accumulated waste in the
Lower Intestine; that in present way
of living Nature could not remove all this
waste without assistance. matter how
regular might be; and that the poison
from this waste circulated through the
blood pulled away down below par and
was responsible for many diseases of
serious nature.
During this time the u. B. L. Cascade
for Internal Bathing has. because Of their
recornm sndation and those of it's users,
been steadily growing in favor. q
Recently, however. the startling news
which has been covering this country that
great surgeons and specialists have been
operating the Lower Intestine for the
most chronic and serious diseases has
awake to the Importance of keeping this
waste matter, and over 100000 are now
using Internal Baths.

introduced because the administration
wished it passed. Mr.. Stone replied

eff the president desired in this
emergency, action by the senate to
sustain his course" Senator Under
wood replied, Il would give it unhes-
itatingly and without criticism Of any
kind, but if it has not been the desire
of the president and if he has not
felt it is necessary to sustain his
course by this resolution I think it has
been very ill-advised and very ILL
timed on the part Of the senator from
Missouri
Senator Underwood, however, de-
clared that he would vote for the
resolution, because he felt that a
failure to do SO might be misinterpre-
ted abroad that he did not wish his
vote to be regarded as committing him
in any way should the question of de-
claring war come before the senate.
He praised the president highly for
having kept the nation out of war up
to this time.
Senators Jones and Townsend took
a similar position on the question of
the timeliness of the resolution, while
Senator Norris asserted that before the
resolution was Endorsed the president
should lay before the senate all the
pertinent diplomatic correspondence
with Germany leading up to the break
He voted for the resolution however
Among the strongest supporters of
the president was Senator Hustig of
Wisconsin,, whose constituency has
large German element.

foreign-born inha bitants to very
large extent he said, land many of
them are intensely interested in the
issue of war or peace. I share their
anxiety. and I would do nothing to
bring about war with Germany or any
other nation. OF course, we want
peace; the only question is how it can
be preserved The issue that is pre-
scented here this afternoon is not a new
issue. 1t has long been before the
country. The president has not
changed. Germany and her allies are
the ones who changed"
An American Issue.
One Of the noticeable elements of
the debate was the insistence by many
senator's that the question be con-
sidered purely as an American issue,
without regard to the fortunes of
either set of belligerents. Senator
Borah declared that unless he was
sure the president was insisting solely
on Americas rights as a neutral he
would not support the resolution.
Senator Stone urged that the nation
keep from being carried away from
the consideration Of it's own interests

Senator Stone. in asking for the
adoption of the resolution, referred
first to a newspaper article telling of
the enthusiastic reception of the news
of the presidents action in London
and warned the American people not
to allow foreign influence to determine
their course.
"A great number of articles Of like
import" he said, "have been appear

alities may result from the regrettable
international entanglements in which
we are now involved. Plainly we are

our diplomatic relations are sorely

express the hope that we shall not

OLD-AGE PENSION PLEA BACKED
by LOW WAGES.

misunderstanding trade unionsts are
connecting Governor McCalrs plea for
a compulsory sick insurance and old-agc
pensions for workers with prevailing low
wages in this state,
The governor discounts the theory
that insurance and pension systems
would tempt workers ito throw aside
their ambition to achieve compet-
cncy,' for the reason, says the COVER
nor, that the members of the groups
to which it would practically be appli-
cable work for wages which would not
permit Of saving upon any sufficient
scale and with little to save they would
have but little to squandcr.'
The last report of the state bureau
OF statistics justilieS the governors
statement that low wages in this state
make saving impossible. 1t is estimated
that during 1914, 71 per cent OF the
adult wage carners i'll this state were
paid less than $500 a week; 55.2 per
cent were paid between SS and Slj a
week, and 31.3 per cent were paid Sl5
a week and over. OF the adult tc-
males, 3G0 per cent were paid less
than $S a week, SIS per cent between
IS and SIS a week, and Al per cent Slj
week and over,
While trade unonists suggest that
wage rates in this state should permit
workers to live lives that include more
than a mere sustcnancc, Governor Nc

NATION WIDE TRIBUTE
TO LATE D. A. HAYES

GAINESVILLE, Ohio.-The funeral of the
late ID. A. Hayes, president of the Glass
Bottle Blowers association and third
vice president of the A. +. of L., was
held from the residence of John a. Voll
in this city, who, as vice president of
the bottle blowers association, is now
chief executive of that organization.
The American Federation of Labor
was directly represented by Vice Pres
idents Valentine, Duffy and Green
President Vol received hundreds of
messages expressing coincidence and
sympathy. These came from trade
unonsts and manufacturers. Secretary
of Labor Wilson telegraphed "The la
Dor movement has lost one of its wiscst
and most conscientious counsellors in
the death Of President Hayes" and
President Gompers and Secretary Nor
rison, i'll their joint message, said "The
toilers of America have lost great de
fender and advocate"
Among the LARGE number of testimon-
ialS from manufacturers was one from
T.. j.. Everett, who operated little pot
factory i'll Newark years ago and at one
time employed the deceased. Mr.. Ever
EFT is now one of the richest glass men
in the world. He said: 81 am sending
flowers as a token of personal regard
for my dear friend, Denis Hayes, a
friendship continuous from my entering
into the glass business in Newark, Ohio,
in 1880"
A committee representing the Glass
Bottle Manufacturers association, and
men with whom the deceased waged
many contest in scale conferences,
attended the funeral ceremonies. The
glass bottle industry throughout the
United States and Canada suspended
operation during the hour of the fu-
neral and in many instances plants
were closed the entire day

This statement, made by prominent
business man of Cincinnati, may seem to
be too broad, but when the facts of the
magnificent philanthropy of Mrs. Nc
Call become evident it may not be far
from the truth. By the terms of her
will her money was to be used for the
purpose of endowing an institution for
the teaching OF trades to the COlOrcd
people OF Cincinnati without regard to
age or sex and without any charge Tor
tuition. There is no place in this cotIn
try where an institution of this char
actcr is more needed than in this city,
for on this borderland between North
and South the prejudices of both Color
ed and white people have combined to
shut Negroes out of the skilled trades
The Negroes have been slow to see
that the foundations for the true pro-
grcSs of any race must rest either upon
the trades or agriculture, and usually
upon both and that in most cases the
financial rewards are greater and more
stable than in the purely professional
pursuits. Heretofore nearly all of the
Colorcd mechanics and artisans of the
North have learned their trades in the
South before coming here and now that
the opportunities have come whereby
| they may enter many trades hitherto
closed to them we are compelled to look
to the South for the supply,

OUR HOUR OF PERIL
BY Job Hartman.

Concerted action of powerful bodies
of men shall not be permitted to stop
the industrial processes of the nation
at any rate before the nation shall have
had an opportunity to acquaint itself
with the merits of the case as between
employe and employer" Wood Will
son.
What a remarkable statement from a
president who has just been elected to
office by these very same powerful bodies
of men.
For many years these union men have
struggled against the railroad magnates
until finally, by adding to their numbers
they have actually become more power
full than the magnatcs themselves.
While these two tremendous powers
stood glaring at each other, third pow
er, like a monster from the social deep,
arose, with its arm of steel around the
magnatcs.
Thou shalt not strike"
The Government has spoken
The six hundred million dollar army
and navy are now talking, and they will
be heard
mo politics in the union"
Reward your friends and punish your
cnemes?"
Will not the union men now see that
more than friends are necessary in such
an hour of need? The workers must
hold in their grasp the power, both to
make the laws and to command the army
that enforces them.
Are not the laws now made to protect
the ownership of private property?
And who will say that the government
e. ,t.
Can not the working men see that
the army while they enforce the laws
made by the expressing interests?
Whenever there is clash of interest
between two powers, the power that is
i'll Office will pass laws protecting its in
tcrcStS and will enforce the laws it
passes.
Not only will the army be commanded,
if necessary, to coerce the union men,
but the union men themselves will be
drafted into the army to coerce them
selves, if they refuse to submit to com
pulsory arbitration.
But those who have power to make and
to enforce the law, likewise have power
to appoint the arbitrators. Rest assured
that they will arbitrate in their own be-
nall WIFI tne same uctcrmlllatlOn tllat
they pass laws and command armies
Hence the results of arbitration conform
to the ends gained by enforcing the law
Those in power therefore demand
compulsory arbitration laws, while those
out of power resist compulsory arbitra-
ton laws, even to the point of rebellion.
Whenever the labor unions, by virtue
of their power, overcome the owners of
a national industry, they are Immediate
ly and necessarily confronted by the gov
ernment. The owners step out, and the
government steps into their shoes. The
weak master is dislodged for the ire
sstibe master. Failure to obey this
master is an appeal to arms.
Workngmen, you are forced to enter
politics as a class, to put your own men
in Office, to make laws protecting your
interests and to use the government
force, the army, to enforce your laws
or you will have to submit to their laws
and their armies
You are confronted with fact and
not a theory. Govern yourselves accord
ingly.
