 Il am not discouraged about it. We went through the state of New York last fall, and we told this story every where-the story of the need of hu- manlty in government, the need Ot legislating for human beings instead of for property rights. And those of us who took that position, as against those who stood for the interests, were elected. The others stayed home.

 And l am here to say, my friends, that the day coach individual, the plain, ordinary, everyday individual and. his group will take possession of this government in 1924 And then we will have square deal for labor and square deal for the farmer and a square deal for all those who have had to take a second place because the owner of the private car has been well taken care of in the past.

Child LABOR the
VITAL QUESTION
So Says President Gompers in
His Address to the Convention
of the Federation.
DEMANDS AN ADEQUATE LAW
Radicals Attacked as Ignorant of the
Great Fundamental Principles and
the Aims Of the Labor Movement
In America.

| In America.
Declaration that the child labor
question Is the vital one of the hour
was emphasized by President Samuel
Gompers In his annual address at the
opening of the forty-third annual con-
vention Of the American Federation
Of Labor in Portland, Ore. He dis
cussed this question before he turned
his attention to Reds and radicals.
"We have been sacrificing women
and children in this country on the
altar Of Mammon," said Mr.. Gompers,
''but the conscience of the people OF
America has been awakened. Child
life of the country must be considered
at all hazards To say that the Con-
stitution of the United States Is I'M
potent to protect the children Of our
time is begging the question.
"The courts have declared that laws
| which were passed by the congress of
the country upon the demand Of the
| people, to protect minors from undue
exploitation, are void. That the peo-
pie, through their representatives, can
not pass q law to protect the child
life Of our time, IL to lay the greatest
indictment against our competency.
"This movement Of ours, commonly
known as a labor movement, is born
| Of necessity. It Is the result Of condi-
tions, born in hunger by hunger-hun-
ger for better food. hunger for better
shelter, hunger for rest, hunger for
recreation, hunger for music, the arts,
literature-all that goes to make up
better and fuller life.
Reference has been made here to
| the Reds and radicals. know those
who know me and who know my work
know that am not even pink.
"The difficulty of the thing is that
those who would label themselves as
radicals know nothing of the great
fundamental principles Of the labor
movement or the ideas for which the
movement is striving 1t takes all
sorts Of people to make a nation. 1t
takes all sorts Of people to make up
labor movement. All I ask Of the
labor movement Of America is to con-
tinue to be a movement OF the wage
earners, for the wage earners, by the
wage earners.
"The labor movement has no choice
of the material with which it will
work. Big business. employer Of la
Dor. has kept a wide open channel to
our country, bringing in immigrants
so far below the standards that pre-
vail that 1t has been a matter of little
choice with us. As long as they are
wage earners, however, we. will organ
ize them, not as radicals or Reds, but
to make better men and citizens out Of
them.
IT wonder when the time will come,
and let Us pray that 1t shall come soon,
when the men on the farms, In the
workshops and in the mines shall come
together to protect each other against
their common expioiters."

Clean Kidneys
By Drinking
Lots of Water
Take Salts to Flush Kidneys if
Bladder Bothers or
Back Hurts

Eating too much rich food may pro-
duce kidney trouble in some form, says
a well-known authority, because the
acids created excite the kidneys. Then
they become overworked, get sluggish,
clog up and cause all sorts of distress,
particularly backache and misery in the
kidney region, rheumatic twinges, severe
headaches, acid stomach, constipation,
torpid liver, sleeplessness, bladder and
urinary irritation.
The moment your back hurts or kid
news aren't acting right, or if bladder
bothers you, begin drinking lots of good
water and also get about four ounces Of
Jad Salts from any good pharmacy;
take a tablespoonful in a glass of water
before breakfast for a few days and
YOUR kidneys may then act fine. This
famous salts is made from the acid of
grapes and lemon juice, combined with
lithia. and has been used for years to
flush clogged kidneys and stimulate
them to activity; also to neutralize the
-cids in the system so that they no
longer irritate, thus often relieving blad-
der disorders.
lad Salts can not iniure anyone;
makes a delightful effervescent lithia-
water drink which millions OF men and
women take now and then TO help keep
the kidneys and urinary organs clean,
thus often avoiding serious kidney dis
orders By all means have your physi-
clan examine your kidneys at least twice
a year.

ISLANDS POP
UP AND DOWN

Islands sometimes pop up above the
surface of the ocean, stay tor day, a
month, or even several years, and then
as suddenly disappear again. Again
there are islands that sink gradually
into the ocean.
Not so many years ago such an is
land. off the coast of Central Amerl-
ca. began to sink. The people expert
enced a most unusual feeling and wit
messed a most unusual sight. They
were able to actually feel themselves
going down by inches and to see the
shores of their island slowly disaap-
pear. This occurred during the night.
Boats took many off the island, but
40 persons went to the bottom. In
the morning there was absolutely no
trace of the land
Several years later volcanic island
appeared above the surface OF the wa
tiers of the Pacific. There was a great
commotion of the water and clouds OF
ashes and steam. When everything
was again quiet there was an island

They called the island Mi Shima. But
Mi Shima was short-lived. The land
began to melt like sugar in teacup
and at last accounts only few feet
were showing above the sea level.
