GOVERNOR ALIENS POSER

Mr.. Gompers logically lost the de-
bate in New York when he refused to
answer this question propounded by
Governor Allen:
"When a dispute between capital
and labor brings on a strike affecting
the production or distribution of the
necessaries of life. thus threatening
the public peace and impairing the
public health, has the public any right
in such controversy or is it pri-
vate war between capital and labor
If you can answer this question in
the affirmative, Mr.. Gompers, how
would you protect the rights of the
public?"
The labor leader declines to answer,
asserting that it was catch question.
1t was not a catch question in any
sense of that term.
Ii was a fair, straightforward, and
searching inquiry, going to the heart
of the subject in controversy-just
such a poser in Socratic logic as Lin
coin put to Stephen A. Douglas in the
historic Lincoln Douglas debates.
Governor Aliens question put Mr..
Gompers in n dilemma. III he had ans
wered that strikes in vital key indus
tries were private wars between cap
ital and labor the answer would have
been tantamount TO q declaration that
the public has no rights which warning
labor and capital are bound to respect.
II he had answered that the public
had rights in such conflicts the answer
would have carried an admission that
the public rights should be protected.
While the great labor leader, who is
president of the American Federation
of Labor, sought refuge in silence, the
public knows the exact nature of his
silent answer. Though he dare not
flatly admit it, his position is that
such conflicts are not merely private
war between capital and labor; that
the public must suffer in meekness
and inaction; and that the law and the
courts must not interefer in the slight
es when labor and capital fight out
their differences.

c. v. Rice and family, of Forgan,
were guests at the home of Mr.. Rice's
parents, N. A. Rice and wife here, the
past week. Mr.. Rice recently sold his
newspaper The Forgan Eagle, to A. l..
Kimball of Liberal, and is quitting the
newspaper game. High prices and the
scarcity of help is causing many news
papers to change hands, consolidate or
cease publication altogether. Mr., Rice
tells us, that he was enjoying good
business but could get no help and so
was glad TO sell The new publisher
Mr.. kimball, is a newspaper man of
wide experience and a thorough print
er. He will give the people of Forgan
good newspaper. Mr.. Rice has not
decided upon future plans but will
probably remain in Forgan.

The many friends of Mrs. Hodge and
family regret exceedingly their depar-

death of Mr.. Hodge made a change
at this time necessary. Mrs. Hodge
expressed a desire and hope TO return
to their home here at later date and
welcome will certainly await them
from their host of Beaver friends.

Musical Sands Found Al | Over the World;
Much Has Been Write n Recently About Them

The cause is described as follows:
THE winds continuously blow this
sand up against the sides of the hill,
and impelled by the wind it rushes
up the slopes, emitting multitude
Of tiny, tinkling notes, which when
combined make a considerable vol
ume of sound, Then, Just as the
beach, rush downward again. so the
sand blow up the steep incline con-
tinually slides back, the angle of rest
being about 81 degrees. 1t is the re-
turning flow that gives out the
steady undertone, increased by the
echo from a sandstone cliff, and va
rying with the ever-changing wind"
Mr.. Ledoux calls attention to the
fact that when walking barefoot on
musical sands. or running ones hand
through them, there is felt a distinct
tingling sensation, similar to that
felt when dipping the head into So
luton in which nascent oxygen is be-
ing generated.

COTTON MEN MAY
CHOOSE ATLANTA
HEADQUARTERS

The election of the important ex
ecutiVe Offices of second vice preSi
dent and general manager; the Sc
lection of permanent headquarters,
and decision as to whether natl4nal
cotton magazine shall be published,
were among the many important
matters before the executive finance
committee and divisional presidents
for the cotton belt states of the
American Cotton association when
they met Tuesday morning in the
chamber of commerce assembly hall.
Strong efforts were being made to
secure the designation of Atlanta as
the permanent headquarters of the
association. Atlanta now is the tenn
porary headquarters and 1t seemed
probable Tuesday that this city would
win the permanent location of the
executive offices.
The second vice president and gem
eral manager to be elected Tuesday
is to be in general executive charge
of the various ends of the associa-
ton, the office consequently being one
of great responsibility.
The committee also expected to
complete plans Tuesday for the in
stallation of various departments and
subdivisions and was to appoint COM
mittees on banking, legislation and
other subjects.
J. S. Wanamaker, of ST. Matthews,
S. c., president of the association, is
presiding over the meetings, which
will continue through Thursday.
Present at the meeting were J. S.

This means the passing of the gov

for wheat established during the war
as a means of stimulating produc-
ton. Some existing contracts remain
to be carried out by the United
States Grain corporation, which has
been the fundamentally of the gov

as these contracts have been eXecut-

Burke four times, killing him in

Lights in the saloon were extin-
guished simultaneously with the
firing of the four shots, and the
men who had been standing at the
bar and who were seated at tables
dropped to the floor. Geraghty dart

He was caught several minutes
later, however, by Detectives Cor

Acts On The Liver,
Regulates Kidneys,
Puri6es the Blood

The liver is the largest and most
important organ in the body, and
when the liver refuses to act it
causes constipation, biliousness,
headaches, indigestion, gas. sour
stomach, bad breath, dysentery,
diarrhoea, pains in back and under
shoulder blades and. under ribs on
right side These symptoms lead to
colds. influenza or other serious
troubles unless corrected immedi-
ately.
An Inactive liver places an extra
burden on the kidneys, WHICH over,
taxes them and causes the blood
to absorb and carry into the sys-
tenn the impurities that the liver
and kidneys have failed to elimin-
ate.
When you treat the liver alone,
trouble, and that is why you have
to take purgatives every few
nights. Calomel or other ordinary
IaXatives do not go far enough. 1t
you would treat your kidneys and
blood while treating the liver, you
would put your entire system in
order and frequent purgatives would
then be unnecessary.
DR.. W. L. Hitchcock many years
ago recognized these important
facts, and after much study and
research, compounded what is now
KNOWN as Dr. Hltcncoch Liver,
Kidney and Blood Powders, three
medicines combined in one. This
was the Doctors favorite prescrip-
ton for many years, being used by
his patients with marked success.
1t is a harmless vegetable remedy
that will not make you sick, and
you may eat anything you like
while taking it.
Get a large tin box from your
druggist or dealer for 25c, under his
personal guarantee that it will give
relief; tone UP the liver, stimulate
the kidneys to healthy action and
thereby purify the blood. Keep it in
the home for ready use whenever
any member of the family begins
to feel "out of sorts" It will
prove a household friend and a val
liable remedy.-(Advt.)

cases in the African and Asiatic des-
