 "In view of these facts and many others the Hartford Central Labor Union is compelled to decline to be made a part of an effort which on your own showing is bound to be futile and pre- fers to cast its lot with the labor party of the United States, a movement which regard as expressive of the desires ot the rank and file of organized labor in this country, fact of which you should be conscious and would be ii the or ganization of the American Federation of Labor were as democratic as 1t will be some day soon.
 "We are out for such political indus trial and social democracy as can only be secured by the election of workers themselves on platform of their own making We are tired of working for false friends of labor and for. candi- dates who, even If so disposed could never really give the workers anything very different from what they now have.
 "The non-partisan plan for labor de- mands an entire abandonment of party afiliation and party responsibility for good and for all because 1abor's de- mands will change and will progress. This is impractical, un-American and virtually impossible of achievement. The workers cannot go on indefinitely hop ping from one foot to another as one candidate or the other promises to be the less hostile to labor. They must take a stand firmly on both feet and live up to their patriotic obligations not only as workers but as citizens.
 "It should be obvious to person of reasonable discernment by now that la bor's minimum demands today invoke CD A change in the status of the worker (2) A basic alteration in the relation between labor and capital (3) A considerable curtailment in the priv ilege and power of capital and (4) The assumption of new responsibilities in government and industry by the workers and that these can never be brought about by so-called friends of labor working through machinery of political parties whose chief concern is to maintain the present prestige and domination of capital.

principle, aim and method. It will in lure the nation and it will still further deprive labor of the support of public opinion When the labor union was the chief instrument by which the work ingman was battling for chance to live, public opinion decided ill its favor in many a hard-fought struggle. But today the labor union does not repre- sent an oppressed class. The laborer IS better paid for less work than are mil lions of his fellow citizens, among whom may be named preachers, teach CTS, journalists, artists, policemen, fire men, bank clerks, bookkeepers, small shopkeepers and farmers. The ordinary bricklayer is laying fewer bricks today for ten dollars than he used to lay for six. In certain branches of the textile industry since 1914 wages have increased more than l4O%o; hours have fallen from 56 to A per week while efficiency in output has dropped from o2 to 62%o. And these are typical of practically all lines of labor.
 Tt is not true that labor has been 'scorned by Congress- Nor is it true that the anti-sedition laws are aimed at labor unless labor is prepared to admit, what no one believes, that 1t IS identical with socialism, communism, and red revolution.
 "The fact is that labor, as such, has received governmental recognition and aid beyond any other class or interest in the nation during the last five years
 Every candidate on both sides ought to refuse to submit to the un-American inquisition proposed by MT. Gompers and his political committee. Any can didate who does not so refuse IS untlt for public office. For no man IS t1t to make national laws at the present time who cannot think in terms of the na- tion and who does not see that class interests and. class ambitions must give way before the general needs of the nation

THE PALACE.

| Could a more timely screen attrac- ton be booked for the four days that | include Ireland's St. Patrick's day than the film version of Harold McGratf's s widely read and discussed book, "The Luck of the >1rish," which comes to the Palace on Sunday evening, also Mon day, Tuesday and Wednesday.
 This visualization, like the story, is replete with romance added to which is excitement a-plenty. Allan Dawn, the producer, has succeeded in making a true Irish picture of this real Irish story: As picture "The Luck of the Irish has everything that might be ex- pected from its title. It is rich in humor, speedy of action and has dramatic strength that is simply gripping.
 The dainty musical tabloid Little Cinderella" with its glass s1ippered chorus of l2 beauty girls appearing in support of it's clever principals, Eve La Rue and Frances Weston, provides most satisfactory headliner for Palace vaudeville on Monday, Tuesday and Wedensday. This act is a miniature edition of the regular travelling musical comedy production. The cast including the dozen pretty girls is the famous chorus are all up in talent as we'll as beauty. Frances Weston one of the principals, is New Haven girl and has host of friends who will flock to the Palace to see the rising little star.
 Allen Shaw, clever in the manipula- ton of coins, and wonderful whistler, fills another of the bills spots. For a real vaudeville novelty this act is all that the most exacting could ask for. Daisy Hall and Dick O'Brien have a variety skit to offer that includes about every brand of entertainment used on the vaudeville stage. Morrissey and Hartley in neat little song and fashion revue "ln Love at First. Sight" have another neat little offering.
 Potter and Hartwell in "A Muddled Mixture" are capable eccentric dancers but their ability does not end at the stepping for they are also good singers, clever comedians and equi1ibrists.
 The last half of the week means an- other big bill of pictures and vaude- vile, a complete change of attractions appearing Thursday. Jesse Diamond and Sybil Brennan are indeed clever pair of vaudevillians as their singing, dancing and comedy efforts quickly pro claim. Prosper and \Maret the famous College Athletes" present one of the best gynnastic exhibitions on the vau- deville boards. Gerald Griffin and p1aylet, "A Romance in Ireland" are to provide lot of Emerald Isle en- joyment. Davis and Chadwick, a pair of colored entertainers, and the won derfu1 Lampini, master of trunk mys- teries, are a duo of other acts on the bill. A western screen drama of high tension filmed under the title of "Toby's l Bow" is the picture feature for this portion of the week. .s

 The Penn Company has conducted a closed shop ever since the organization of the company 20 years ago and in all that time 1t has never had any disputes with the local union sufficiently serious to necessitate cessation of operations.

Beverly, Mass, March 12.-Between 1000 and 5000 machinists employed by the United States Machinery company have suspended work to abolish the in dividual contract system and to secure the establishment of grievance commit tees.

New Orleans Cotton.

New Orleans, Jan. 2S.-Covering of the short interest and consider able volume of fresh long buying put the cotton market higher on the opening today and sustained it at the advance during the scs- sion, highest prices being reached toward the close, which was at net advances of 23 to 3S points for the day.
 An exceedingly strong Liverpool market caused the highest opening and the demand was further strengthened by better spot accounts and the cold and wet weather in the cotton region. Reports from the spot department were that there was special demand from large spot in terests for middling and above. Ex- ports for the day of 48,345 bales against 25,S50 this day last year at tracted attention and largely offset the effect of the pronounced weak ness in sterling exchange. The strongest period, late in the day was generally set down to covering by short sellers of the session who dld not care to carry their cotton over night.

COTTON PRICES ARE HIGHER, RISING
 IN LATE TRADING

New York, Jan. 2S.. The cotton market was higher today. 'inc ad- vance in call money rates and con tlnued weakness of exchange caused good deal of nervousness. but of ferings were absorbed on compaar- tivcly light reactions and the high est prices of the day were reached III the late trading. The general list closed steady at net advance of 30 to ID points.
 The feature of the carly news was the strength ot Liverpool Local trad CTS considered this partly due to the decline in sterling, but private cables reported trade calling and small offerings. The opening ad vance here was not a full response to the cables and there were reactions of a few points right after the call under local and Wall street selling. Liverpool was an active buyer how eyer, while the English markets showed sustained strength, and pric- es here soon turned firmcr i'll con sequence. There was enough cotton offering to cause slight reactions later but the earlier buying by llv- erpool seemed to have absorbed a good many contracts and there was buying o1 March by southern spot interests which helped the after noon advance. Private advices from the South said there was very little spot demand but reported no weak pninp amOnp holders

Drinking a Glass
 of Hot Water is
 a Splendid Habit
Cleanse and sweeten the system each morning and wash away
 poisonous, stagnant matter.

Those of us who are accustomed to feel dull and heavy when we arise; splitting headache, stuffy from q cold, foul tongue, nasty breath, acid stomach, lame back, can, instead, both look and feel as fresh as a daisy always by washing the pois- ons and toxins from the body with phosphated hot water each morn ing.
 We should drink, before break fast a glass of hot water with tea spoonful of limestone phosphate in it to flush from the stomach, liver, kidl eys and bowels the previous days indigestible waste, sour bile and poisonous toxins; thus cleansing, sweetening and purifying the entire aiimentary tract before eating more food.
 The action of limestone phosphate and hot water on an empty stomach Il is wonderfully invigorating. It cleans out all the sour Concentrations, gass- es, waste and acidity and gives one a fine appetite fo rbreakfast. A quarter pound of limestone phos- phate costs very little at the drug store, but is enough to make any one who is bothered with biliousness. constipa tion, stomach trouble or rheumatism an enthusiast on inter- nal sanitation. adv.

to do his part. Sometimes he strug gled, for all things in household will not run smoothly every day, and his nervous temperament threatened revolt now and then. But it was admirable the way he mastered his natural impulses, met me half way in the big job we had undertaken. He even went so far as to accept con ditions that would have been inn possible without the exercise of all the powers of restraint he had. Now he overlo okcd things that in few months before would have been suf- ficient to arouse the worst in him. He was learning self control.

 l always had dressed for Critten- den, but now l made an even great CT effort in this direction. l had clothes enough, for he was generous with my allowance, to make this very easy, and every day when he came home l looked my best.
 And-let me whisper this to you very, very confidentially my pret- ty clothes did not win on their own account, they did not hold the secret of cheerfulness in their dainty folds and ruffles. All the colorful gaiety was not in their bright hues, nor was the softness. of the effect alto gether in the daintiness of the fab Tie. The biggest part of it was my own honest effort to please him.

and Dr. Bradford Knapp, dean of the Agricultural College, Fayetteville. The itenerary will be announced later.
 Col Shackleford has been invited to speak at the monday luncheon of the Board of Commerce on Tuesday, February 24, and during the after noon of that day Pulaski county convention will be held and plans made for perfecting the organization here. w. s. Hogan, a progressive planter of Jacksonville, has been ap pointed as chairman for Pulaski county and J. R. Alexander of Scott lis the president of the state associ- ation.
 Dr. Sands reports that there are about 35 chairmen, who have ac- cepted their appointments and that many of them have active organiza- tions ready for the membership campaign.
 It has been definitely decided that the campaign will be put on the week of February 21 in all the counties that are ready for it. This will be followed up by personal work by Dr. Sands and his assist ants in the counties, where the work is needed.
 The American Cotton association is growing so rapidly that it has al, ready become one of the greatest forces of the country in promoting the welfare of the cotton grower and allied business interests.
 At the Montgomery meeting the matter of direct sales of cotton will receive marked attention. Repre- sentatives from European countries arc expected to attend the conven- tion for the purpose of arranging di- ,ect sales of cotton.
 A movement will be started at the convention to urge the installation in the various colleges of the South a department for teaching cotton grading, stapling, fibreing, export ing; in fact, to teach the marketing side and business side of cotton the same as it is now done in England. This, in itself, offers wonderful field for the improvement and devel opment of the cotton industry in the South.

 "Why should that bothcr?" I con- tended I've ought to be able to make capital of it instead of con- sidering it determental to our hopes and efforts. You know, Crittenden." :" went on, soothingly, "we can see at least that our house was built upon the sands; we can build now upon rock if we will.'
 He did not have my enthusiasm quite because he did not have enough faith in himself. It was patent that he feared inability to accom- olish the brave prospect I had sug- sested. Yet 1 could see that he was willing to try. And he said he would, however. much he doubted.

 But he said "as far as possible" l was sorry he qualified his statement Love should have no limitations, nor yet the things that come of love. Still, l reflected, I might be able to help him even more than he could help himself. I determined I should make the effort.

And Crittendcn, It did my heart good to sec the efforts he made They were no less than heroic. He was trying to be my partner in the things we had set out to build. He did quite as much of the reconstruc- tlon as l. perhaps more. for he al ways gave me his support unremit- tingly, besides doing his part with out reserve or restriction.
 Thus the avenue to happiness seemed to open up before us, wise and smooth and beautiful, encourag Ing and inviting in it's lovely, love Iy vista. It is small wonder, indeed that now my hopes should have been of the highest and brightest The sun was shining again. There was promise at last.
 We did everything that summer that was possible, to enjoy ourselves. We swan even more than in the two years previous, the Langleys being with ns practically all the time Also we motored and played golf, went to the roof gardens of evenings, dined out frequently and lunched togeth- CT down town three or four times a week
 Crlttenden called me up every day, sometimes twice, made love to me over the telephone and was as de- voted as lover ever was. He often cane home earlier than had been his custom just to take me for a swim or a drive. He sent me ex- penslve boquets, deferred to me in public and private, became kinder, more courteous, and, what was the most important thing of all as indi- eating the possibilities of his thor ough regeneration, he asked for my opinion on matters great and small. Truly l was finding new Critten- den and was doing 1t without becom- ing; what his sweet mother so hated having been, a ''yes, dear" wife
