AN OUTLAW ORGANIZATION.

| Senator King of Utah, has performed
public service by showing the country what the
l. W. w doctrines are and what the activities
of the organization mean. In particular does
| he show concusiyely that the organization Is
not seeking the amelioration Of labor but as
sails the laboring man who believes IN labor I'M
lions, government, law and order and clVlllza-
ton as bitterly as it assails employers. Trades
Iunionism, as Senator King points out, reallzes
that the common interest of employers and en-
Iployed demands stability, order, thrift ana
lpeace The laboring man is interested IN the
iperpetuity of society, the maintenance OF good
government and the proper development OF all
the activities of commerce and trade. But with
none of all this is the I. W. W. in sympathy.
The overwhelming ma ority Of the members
Of this outlaw organization are aliens. They
have no family ties, no habits of sobrlety or
thrift. They are utterly at war with our lnstl-
buttons, our form Of society, our industrial and
governmental life. For them there IS no God,
no church, no rehgion-these words are mean
ingless to them. AS stated in their declaration
of 'principles,' the question of right and
wrong does not concern them. They know no
flag except their emblem which stands for
murder and savage depravity. They defy the
authority Of any governmental agency, ma
tlonal, state, municipal; and defantly an
nounce that it is their program to commit deeds
of violence and assail the very foundations of
society. They openly and cynically deny all
moral restraints, all standards of righteous
ness, the obligations of family life, the sanetity
of marriage and of homes. Violence, murder,
arson are their weapons; and they see in this
world war, as they believe, an opportunity of
reducing society TO q chaos IN which might can
seize whatever il desires.

Catarrhal Deafness
May B. Overcome
i simple, safe and reliable way that
calls for no ugly trunpets, phones
or other instruments,

To be deaf is very annoying and
embarrassing. People who are deaf
are generally mighty sensitive on this
subject. And yet many deaf folks
carry around instruments that call at.
tention TO their infirmity. Therefore
people who are hard of hearing, who
suffer from head noises. or who are
actually deaf from catarrhal trouble,
will be glad to know Of simple recipe
that can be easily made lip at home
for few cents cost that is really
quite efficient in relieving the dis.
agreeable deafness and head noises
caused by catarrh.
From any drug store get one ounce
Of Parmint double strength) aJou,
9bc worth. Take this home and mt
it into simple syrup made OF II
pint OF hot water and four ounces of
ordinary graduated sugar. Take a
tablespoonful four times a day.
This treatment should by tonic ac-
ton reduce the inflammation in the
middle ear that catarrhal condition
would be likely TO cause and with the
inflammation gone the distressing
head noises, headaches, cloudy think.
ing and that dull feeling in the ears
should gradually disappear. Anyone
who suffers from catarrh, catarrhal
deafness or head noises should give
Parmint a trial. 1t is pleasant to take

LABOR'S PART.

Samuel Gompers in opening the meeting of
the American Alliance for Labor and De1noc-
racy gave fine and forceful statement to the
vision which is animating the conduct of the
great mass Of American labor. 1t is a clear
sight Of the fact that labor finds in complete
allegiance to this country and devotion to her
interests not only a duty but vast advantage.
There is no labor problem involved in the will
to win this war; labor and capital are fellow
workmen on the job, and the wise men and
women who earn money or invest it, who build
or manage businesses or who do the work that
makes the stuff of business-thev all know that
II they are to go on in freedom with their
work, Germany must be defeated and nro-
vented from interfering with the business If

BUY Your Coal Now.

Des Moines Capital: While the
question in regard to the price of
coal is up in the air there is one
patriotic thing which those may do
who have the money to spare. They
can buy their winters coal now and
have it put into the cellar or the
coalhouse. This viii help the general
situation and viii enable the man of
less means to get his coal in small
orders, when cold weather is actually
at hand. Coal may be less in price;
We are not sure as to that, but we
do not believe that it win be higher
in price. Patriotic men and women
who have, the money to spare should
buy their coal now In order TO get
cut Of the way OF the man who buys
one load az time.
