His unexpected question startled
me. In way it was an odd echo of
the vague suspicion which had been
pursuing me ever since the early aft

The Men
Who Smoke

Why is it that the big men Of the
big countries are almost always smok-
ers? Isn't it because men who work on
nerve know the need OF something
that makes them let up and rest once
in while between times?
That's what your pipe-smoker does.
He drops for a moment the matter
that is worrying him. He sinks into
an easy position, lights his pipe, and
after a few absent-minded, restful
puffs his mind swings back on that
subject fresh and with bang.
This habit must have something to
do with making great thinkers and
great fighters, for most OF them smoke,
and after smoke-rest, something
breaks.
Take Einstein, the man who has
upset the world OF philosophers by his
theories OF time and space. 1t is said
that his ideas are SO hard to under
stand that only a dozen people in the
world do understand them. We don't.
But we know that he must be a great
thinker; he must have to concentrate
for long, intense hours on his problems.

pipe OF tobacco is a real solace. 1t Is
such simple thing to hold in about
one cubic inch OF space SO much plea
sure and contentment.
A pipe-smoker asks but little. He
wants good pipe, but he simply must
have the tobacco that just suits him.
II you happen to be sort OF half
worrying along without exactly the
tobacco you want, we would be glad
to have you try Edgeworth.
1t may not suit your individual
taste, but 1t has made a hit with many
finicky pipe-smokers. And you can
decide whether or not you like IL 70
easily!
Simply send us your address to-
gether with that Of the dealer ordi-
narily supplying you. and we will des-
patch to you generous samples OF
Edgeworth in both forms-Plug Slice

to cakes, then cut into thin moist

to pour straight into your pipe. It
packs nicely, and burns freely, evenly.

American Federation Of Labor
Urges Organizations to For
ward All Court Findings.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.-The A.
F. of l.. in letter signed by Samuel
Gompers and addressed to all ma
tional and international unions, state
federations of labor and city central
bodies, requests that copies of all in
functions issued in labor cases and OF
decisions of courts relating to labor
be sent to the president of the feder-
alton.
The object of collecting these data
is to be in position to give information
to all labor organizations as to meth
DDS Of procedure in cases Of injunc-
tions and to help them in court cases.
The Denver convention of the A. T..
of l.. adopted strong resolutions
against unwarrantable injunctiOns re-
straining labor organizations from
adopting legitimate means to main
tain American living standards. "Not
only are the courts Overstepping con-
stitutional rights" the letter declares,
"but they are building wall Of clas:
distinction by enjoining trade unions
from doing certain things that are de-
clared lawful when done by associa-
tions Of employers.
Not long ago one judge who reprs-
sents the reactionary members of the
judiciary declared it to be the duty of
the courts to stand at all times as the
representatives Of capital in labor
struggles"

". VA. MILITIA
Mine Owners Don't Like Federal
Troops; Putting Own Men in
State Guard.

CHARLESTON, w. Va, Sept. a.
Authority to organize a state militia
was granted by the last legislature,
the law taking effect July %. Since
then one company has been organ
lied. The total force will consist OF
a regiment of 1883 men.
Up to the time of the miners row
in Mingo county the state officials
had shown no particular haste in get
ting the state militia in working order;
relying upon the state constabulary
to keep the miners in subjection. But
since the general commanding the
United States troops sent into Mingo
county to keep order declared that
the serious part of the trouble in the
mining regions was due to the acts Of
miners and their leaders, the organi-
zation of the militia is being carried
on with unseemly haste.
The mine owners are apparently
eager to have an armed force on the
ground which can be relied upon to
follow their orders, and to have that
force clothed in a state uniform doing
the work of pluguglies and gunner
Of private detective agencies will have
good "moral" effect on the people
outside of West Virginia. AS one
miner expressed it, putting militia
mans uniform on a gunman will not
change his nature or make him any
the less a gunman"

ably 100000 children will be thus
handicapped in this city alone.
In the other large cities Of the coun-
Try similar conditions exist, so that
the total number Of children to be re-
stricted in their rights of public edu-
cation throughout the country Will
approximate a million pupils.
The largest number affected is in
the lower grades of the elementary
schools. though the congestion also
affects the high schools. Several
cities are trying to remedy the con-
gestion by erecting portable schools,
but these are usually of such a ram
Ehackle construction that while teach

of the pupils is in danger, especially
In winter.

BALTIMORE, Sept. 22.-Represen-
tatives Of the majority of the policy
holders in the Employers Mutual In
surance and Service company. the
strike insurance concern which the
state insurance department charges
to be insolvent and unable to meet it's
obligations, and for which a. receiv er
has been asked, have petitioned the
court to postpone the hearing on the
receivership application for 80 days.
They want time to work out a plan
Of reorganization, declaring that they
do not desire a receivership. being
willing to stand their losses in order
to keep the company going. The COM
mittee of the majority policy holders
is composed of three employing print
ers, two Of whom locked out their
workmen May 2.
A receivership for the company may
mean that the methods of the concern
in attempting to break strikes will be
investigated, hence the purpose Of
these employers in opposing the pro-
ceedings.
The state insurance department has
examined the financial affairs of the
company and has reported to the court
that the concern is insolvent, having
liabilities exceeding assets by more
than a million dollars.
The employers opposing the receiv-
ership evidently hope to uncover an
angel to square accounts in the event
the court grants the 30-day postpone
