Why Living's Cost Advances.

A new phase of economic pres
sure is revealed by recent strike
among hands making those rough
rolls of tobacco called stogies. They
struck for an increase in pay of 81
a thousand. Tis is the common
place. The unusual was the demand
they made upon their employer that
he should increase the price of a
certain grade of stogies from 81 to
$12 thousand. Analysis will read
lily demonstrated that they hoped
through this raise in price to secure
the advance in their wages.
The strike, then, was not against
their employer, but, instead. the
consumer. In most cases of this
kind it is the consumer who event
ually pays not only the increase in
price, but also the losses sustained
during a prolonged strike. Usually,
though, the burden is not always so
directly imposed. Unfortunately, it
is not given the outsiders to know
how this co-called wage dispute
came to an end, the announcement
being made at the factory that a
compromise had been reached.
This occurrence is interesting be-
cause 1t overturns the maudlin ap-
peal uttered every time a strike is
instituted that it is aimed at the
greed Of capital, representation be-
ing made that labor is not receiv-
ing its share of the profits of the
given business. Here labor was rea-
dy to conspire with capital to make
almost SO per cent. increase to the
consumer and to take as a reward
only 25 per cent. of the advance.
In this connection 1t is also inter-
esting to note that already a gen.
eral advance in prices made by sto-
gle manufacturers has begun to
show signs of dissolution and re-
treat. The fatal bunder was. made
of not consulting the stogie smoker.
Rather than pay the 33 per cent. sd-
vance for his favorite ~teby," he
gave 1t up and took to cigars. AL
ready one of the leading manufac-
turers has made this clear as an ey-
cuse for deserving the agreement,
and going back to the old price,

Quails Get Drunk.

S. P. Mable, who has just return

days before. Arriving at the point,
he found number of quails feeding

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure catarrhal deafness.
and that is by constitutional remedy.
Catarrhal Deafness is caused by in
famed condition OF the mucous lining of
the Eustachian Tube. When this tube Is
inflamed you have rumbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing. and when it is entirely
closed, Deafness is the result. Unless the
Inflammation can be reduced and this tube
restored to it's normal condition. hearing
will be destroyed forever. Many cases of
deafness are caused by catarrh, which is
an infiamed condition of the mucous sur
faces. Halls Catarrh Medicine acts thru
the blood on the mucous surfaces of the
system.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Catarrhal Deafness that cannot
be cured by Halls Catarrh Medicine. Cir

INTERVENTION
Same as That in Cuba Proposed
in the Case Of Mexico.

The most Trustworthy opinion In
the United States has always favor
ed Intervention in Mexico, meaning
by that term some such program of
friendly and yet forcible action as
this nation undertook in Cuba under
the Plat resolution, and through
which we still exercise a dormant
authority as guardian of Cuban af-
fairs relative to both internal disor-
der and outside aggression. The
idea would be for the support Of
some acceptable native, administra-
ton through armed forces co-operat-
ing toward suppression of violence
and stimulus of industrial peace.
This simple method of action is
now complicated by various devel-
opments, notably President Wilson's
antipathy to any warlike manifesto
ton of our American hegemony in
cisatlantic affairs, and especially just
now by the animosity toward us en-
gendered throughout Mexico by our
policy of incessant interference
without constructive Intervention.
An inevitable outcome of this let
alone policy will be the arrival some
day of strong native Government
in Mexico, saturated with antagon-
ism to this nation.
A hostile Mexico does not mean
trouble for us so much in itself as 1t
does in the facility with which such
a situation would lend itself to men,
acing activity by European or Asiat-
ic Powers on Mexican SOIL Such is
our situation among the Powers Of
Europe that any potential move
against us by France or Japan, for
example, undeS>an arrangement with
Felix Diaz or with whatsoever might
become the effective ruler of Mexico,
that we could count on no sympathy
from across the Atlantic.
The prepossession of the Wilson
Administration in favor of Austen
ton from constructive action in
Mexico is such as to render hopeless
any thought of our doing there what
ought to be done. No matter how
mistaken our past performances
have been or how urgent the refor-
nation of our abortive and mischiev-
Gus course there develops to be. We
shall undoubtedly go on as We are,
tanning the fires of Mexican wrath
against us and viewing with sardon-
&c indifference the abject misery of
Mexico's plundered and starving
masses. If We arc not willing to do
the right thing. the comparative stu
dy of bad things seems a fruitless
and thankless task.-[Indianapolis

Regulated To Death.

We are being regulated" to
death. individuality will be dead
issue if legislators keep on. BY and
by they will have statute telling
us how to walk across the street.
At the present time a man cannot
practice medicine without a license,
or run an automobile, shoot rab-
hit, SELL bag of fertilizer, operate a
bank, pull a tooth, sell a glass of
beer, take a culture, write an insur-
ance policy, perform an autopsy, fit
a pair of spectacles. fill a prescrip-
ton, serve a warrant, teach school,
manufacture gas, treat a sick horse
or test set of scales.
A movement is on foot to extend
this list to cover those who operate
a moving picture machine or go fish
ing through the ice.
The idea at the bottom appears to
be that nobody is competent to go
about his business himself, but that
a Commissioner should be employed
to see that he does it according to
Hoyle; and those who are in any
particular profession or trade en-
deavor to make the examination so
stiff that others can't get in, so
those originally in will have better
chance a the business and get better
fees.

ment regulation is lovely-for the

GEESE EASY TO RAISE.

Turkeys and chickens are more sub

any ailment among flock, and they

That DR.. william r. Scott o.
Athena came to his death through
the accidental discharge of an auto
matte shotgun yesterday was the ver'
dict of the coroner's jury drawn to
investigate the circumstances OF the
tragedy. There was conclusive evil
dence of an accident and ''in view OF
the evidence at hand" the jury felt
justified in bringing a judgment OF
accidental death.
The body of DR.. Scott. who was
formerly practicing physician at Sc
attic, but who for three years had
been farming the o. II. Reeder place
two miles south of Helix, was found
in the bathroom of the farm house
yesterday about noon by his foreman,
Emmett Clemmens. A shotgun by
his side and a gaping wound under
his chin indicated clearly the cause
but not the manner Of his death.
Was in Good Spirits.
DR. Scott had eaten breakfast with
the farm hands, according to the evil
dence at the inquest. and had seemed
IN his usual good spirits. After Civ
ing instructions relative to the haul
ing OF wheat and signifying his inten-
tion of driving in to Athena, he went
to the house. His foremans wife had
intended sending in some fruit jars
to Mrs, Scott and. when the doctor
had failed to call for the jars at noon,
she reported the matter to her hus-
band. He went into the house and
noticed blood coming from under the
door. Pushing open the
door a little he saw the body OF his
emplyer. He reported the matter to

afternoon and summoned neighbors
to net as jury. In the bathroom they
found by the side Of the doctor an au-

she'll had been elected and there was
a loaded shell in the chamber and
two more In the magazine. The gun
had evidently been taken out of the
case by the doctor and a can OF oil. a
ramrod and some cloths indicated
that he was preparing to clean the
gpn. The relative positions of the

took and other circumstances bore
out the theory that the gun had been
