To The Editor:-
 Being a mother fndowed with the atural love and interest all true mothers have towards their children, would like to say a few words in ~egard to the crim cination, which ompers we parents to give our dear title ones over to the clinics to inject olson into, clean healthy bodies ringing odckness and many times re- lifting in death. Every vaccination ore is focus of infection being cap ble of infecting the whole system f any time with fatal effect.
 I can prove that in a few years nast there has been more deaths re- Dlting from vaccination than from 'ma11-pox- Speaking from experience, was vaccfnated at the age of twelve. Previous to that time I was a strong 1ealthy child. Three days after the vaccinatiou I was taken very i'll and ,apt death, barely escaping that For four years I had one abscess after an sther until I used to pray to die. Can rou imagine the suffering and there sore not wonder why I am so against this evil.
 My theme is give children suffici- ent sunshine, fresh air and good food and they will be immune from any filthy disease. I believe vaccination is an outrageous insult being forced on men, women and innocent children; a bold attempt to destroy the works of God and a law compelling such a procedure is unjust to say the least.

CITIZENS MUST Be PROTECTED
Presiding Judge of Kansas Industrial
Court Speaks in Indiana.

Michigan City. Ind, Sept. SIT is
the duty of the federal government 10
protect the people from the evils OF
Industrial warfare as we'll as from in
Vasion by foreign foe, William L. Hug
gins of Topeka. Kan, author OF the
Kansas Industrial court act, and pre-
siding Judge of the Kansas Court OF
Industrial Relations, declared in an
address here last night before the IN
tercity Rotary convention.
1.-THE economic pressure of indus
trial conflict is not unlike the econo-
mic pressure of the blockade in in
ternationaI warfare" Judge Hugglns
said. 1T is the duty of the govern
ment to protect the life, the liberty,
the health and the peace of the peo-
pie. It makes no difference by whom
the public rs threatened whether by
organized labor, by organized capital
by organized insurrection or by for
eign enemy.
s"All over this land today the do
nestle tranquility is being impaired,
justice, is failing, the general welfare
is threatened, the liberty of the lndi-
vidual is denied. and there is no COM
mon defense because there is no law
by which these conditions can be con-
trolled. If prompt, vigorous action be
not taken in the near future, the peo-
pie of America may suffer infinitely
more than they suffered IN the World
War.
II am confident that power lies with
congress to provide for the common
defense against such conditions as now
exist as adequately as against inva-
sion from foreign foe.
Il believe that congress should and
will in the near future enact a law
similar in import to the Kansas in
dustrial act, that a tribunal of high
judicial nature will be established and
given Jurisdiction over industrial con-
troversies in interstate and foreign
commerce and in the production of
fuel. This. it seems to me. would be
oiNnrly within the commerce clause of
the constitution" 4
Judge Higgins said the popular
method of combating industrial dis
thfbances by federal court iniunctions
has never succeeded and, in my opin-
ion. never can succeed, because it ig-
nores the cause of the CONTROVERSY" j

than expected, and the orderly of the
day, being taken by surprise, and in
his shirt sleeves, dived under the table
to save a reprimand.

Grasping the situation at once, the
corporal answered for the absent or

"None, Sir"
