Take Salts to Wash Kidneys II Back
Pains You or Bladder
Bothers

Flush your kidneys by drinking a
quart of water each day, also take
salts occasionally, says a noted au-
thority, who tells US that too much
rich food forms acids which almost
paralyze the kidneys in their effort
to expell it from the blood. They be-
come sluggish and weaken; then
you may suffer with a dull misery
in the kidney region, sharp pains in
the back or sick headache, dizziness,
your stomach sours, tongue is coated,
and when the weather is bad you
have rheumatic twinges. The urine
gets cloudy, full of sediment, the
channels often get sore and irritated,
obliging you to seek relief two or
three times during the night.
To help neutralize these irritating
acids, to help cleanse the kidneys and
flush of the body's urinous waste, get
four ounces of Jad Salts from any
pharmacy here; take a teaspoonful
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

REACTIONAR|ES WOULD
BLOCK ALL CHANGES
IN U. S. CONSTITUTION

By International Labor News Service
WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 19.-
Progressives of all parties are arous-
ed over a scheme now before Con-
gress to make constitutional amend
ments virtually impossible. Appar-
emily the scheme is backed by react
ionaries of all political faiths who
hope to bar all further amendments
to the Constitution.
The plan is before the Senate in
the form of an amendment to the
Constitution, sponsored by Senator
Wadsworth of New York. The pro-
posed amendment has been given a
preferred place on the legislative pro-
gram and it is reported the reaction
aries are hoping to rush it through
Congress at the present session.
Many "Jokers" in Bill
Discussing the proposed Wadsworth
amendment, Labor, organ of the rail-
road workers, says:

Boy Workers Forced to Quit
1t is further alleged that after a
boy has served four or five or six
years, and the amount of the bonus"
has piled up to a respectable figure,
it is the practice of the rat bosses to
begin to harass and bedevil the help
less apprentice until he quits his job,
in which event he loses the total
amount of the bonus" TIE agree
ment between the boy and the boss is
always verbal, there being no written
agreement with the parents or guard
ian, which makes it practically i'm
possible to take the case into court.
One boy told international Labor
News Service that he had $500 "bon-
us" coming from a rat employer and
that he had been unable to collect q
cent of it. It was alleged that anoth-
er boy had 81 200 coming to him, and
still another had been bilked out Of
$500 in this manner.
These boys have appealed to Chi

right to refer amendments If, and
when, and how, they see fit.
"h q legislature wishes, it can
block consideration of constitutional
amendments Indefinitely by merely re-
fusing to pass a referendum law, or
it may fill the law with such restric-
tions-for example, a provision that
an amendment could not be ratified
unless it received two-thirds Of all
the votes cast-as would make. it
valueless.
Perhaps the Worst Joker
Another of the major jokers in the
Wadsworth amendment is the proyi-
sion that only one-fourth Of the
States are required to defeat an
amendment while three-fourths Of
the States are required to ratify.
"In addition, under the Wadsworth
amendment, ratification must be Sc
cured within eight years.
"Under these provisions, the ene-
mics of an amendment could either
resort to dilatory tactics and thus
prevent action for eight years, or
they could pick out IS States wnere
they knew they were strong and by
securing q negative vote in those
States, nuIlify the affirmative action
of the remainder"
Lawyer Hits Scheme
In a statement assailing the pro-
posed amendment, Donald r. Rich
berg of the Chicago bar declared that
the principal purpose of the scheme
is to make amendment of the Con-
stitution more difficult. Summarize
ing his analysis of the proposal, Mr..
Richberg said:
1.-THE main point to be emphasized
at the present time is that the pro-
posed amendment involves a funda-
mental change in governmental pol
icy which has remained unchanged
through the entire history of the Re-
public, change in governmental pol
icy of major Importance. Second, it
should also be pointed out that the re-
suit of adopting this amendment and
submitting it to the States would be
to inaugurate a nationwide debate
over IHc meaning anu chCCS Va thAS |
proposal in addition to the inevitable
debate over it's merits. Third, it's one
purpose and effect is to make an
amendment to the Constitution more
difficult. Fourth, it offers a referen-
dunn bait for progressive support
which is. palpable fraud, as might
be expected from the fact that this
amendment has the support of the
most reactionary anti-demOcratic for
ces in Congress and in the country
at lar, ,. Fifth, there is an extreme
ly sinister menace in the very fact
that such an amendment as this, with
its tremendous Importance, is made
a major item on the program for a
short session, when it has not receiv-
ed in the present or any previous
Congress any adequate consideration,
and when it has received practically
no consideration whatsoever in the
country at large. This amendment
is either proposed merely. as a waste
of valuable time or else as part Of a
secretive and vicious attack upon the
fundamental principles of our de-
mocracy."

WOMAN GOVERNOR FAVORS Y
CHILD LABOR AMENDMENT
From the First Message of Gov. Nellie TaylOe Ross of
Wyoming to the State Legslaturel

At its last session. the Congress of the United States
submitted to the several States amendment to the Fed
eral Constitution, commonly known the Child Labor
Amendment While realizing that many reasonable argu-
mens may be advanced against additional grant of
power to the Federal Government such will further
courage Capitalization of power and while personally
should have preferred that the object of this amendment
had been achieved through legislation in the separate
States feel that because the likelihood of such action is
remote in the States where is most needed the amend
ment should be ratified
The moral conscience of the American people has long
been aroused the subject of child labor and the good
which is to be derived from its abolition WILL in opinion
far outweigh any risk of abuse of which be
felt to be involved in the amendment It is not reasonable
to that the in Congress not be
trusted law that is both conservative and
and at the time adequate for the protection of
children. I hopeful, therefore, that progressive
young State will be among the first to rafy the amend
ment.

off all future amendments to the Con-
stitution, but they also want to make
sure that the pending child labor
amendment will be defeated.
Fortunately the Progressives in
both houses are not asleep. They are
preparing to discuss the Wadsworth
amendment and to lay bare the in
Vulnerable 'jokers' concealed in the
innocent-looking document.
"The supporters of the Wordsworth
amendment have advertised it as a
great 'back-to-the-people' proposal.
They say that constitutional amend
ments should be ratified by the peo-
pie of the States and not by the leg
islatures, and they insist that the
Wadsworth amendment provides for
such popular amendment.
A Fake Referendum
This is joker number one. The So
called referendum is a fake.
"Of course, anyone familiar with
the records of the gentlemen pushing
the amendments would have suspect
ed that. Every member of Congress
who has supported Wadsworth up to
date is a well-known reactionary.
The idea that great democratic pro-
posal would come from such a source
is supremely ridiculous.

Reply of Filipinos to Gov. General Wood

regime, 1t is because he has assumed
the role of Louis the XIV and has
usurped the constitutional perroga-
tives of the Philippine legislature. If
we are non-constructive now, it is be-
cause he vetoes every constructive
measure our legislature proposes, the
most notable OF which is his veto Of
the appropriation bill for the extern
sion of education turnout the land.
1t is because he wants to gamble the
natural resources ce the Philippines
to Wall Street. 1t is because he
wants our national bank, our rail
roads, our sugar centrals, our mines,
our rubber, farmlands, all managed by
the American capitalists. 1t is be-
cause he is Americanizing us as he
sees fit. This is more pernicious and
criminal folly, when it is imposed up
on and against the will of an alien,
foreign people. Such Americanism
as is preached by this grandiloquent
exponent of imperialism is a carcin-
omatous cancer to democracy.
VETHAT is the noble work, with all
w its investment Of blood and treas
ure and twenty-five years of idealistic
labor, set out by America that is to-
day only begun? "To found christ
ian Filipino nation that win insure the
deployment of christianity for the re-
generation of the world"
This utterance is highly commend
able. It is the expression of the
noblest and loftiest. But why should
America, the mother of liberty as the
term is understood in the world today,
impose upon the twelve million lib
erty-loving Filipinos a foreign govern
ment, deriving its power not from the
consent Of the governed but from the
United States congress- Legislative
body in which the Fihpinos have no
voice-just to insure the deployment
of christianity?
We are surprised to see General
Wood sounding the clarion call to
such declaration OF policy. No pres
ident OF the United States ever
thought that it is Americas duty to

pom of any kind was needed in my
party"
Wherefore, we ask General Wood.
where will this foretold disaster come
from? We can not believe that we
can be peaceful now if tomorrow we
shall cut each others throats. We be-
lieve, and it is reasonable to believe,
that we shall remain peaceful here
after as we have been in the past. AL
low us to remind our ardent benefac-
tor that America too had strife, dis
order, and much bloodshed during the
civil war. If so, why expect too much
of the Filipinos?
IN the next place, he argues that
since the work America set out to
do is only begun, because the Filipin-
os are still in their backward condi-
ton, America should stay in the Phil
ipines indefinitely. Is General Wood

Harding say that the progress of the
Philippines is without a parallel in
the history of the world.
On page n of the same report,
General Wood declares that altho

Filipinos) are essentially Western in

in ideals and aspirations. This was in

Chinese worker, whom the Japanese
capitalists could only recently merci-
lessly exploit without meeting resist
ance, whom the Japanese foremen
could beat and intimidate with I'M
punity, had begun to rebel. Worse
than that, he even set up trade unions,
formed councils and declarations that
must not only be recognized, but
which even force one to retreat.
This victory of the Chinese workers
is the more obnoxious to the Japan
csc bourgeoisie, that it viii undoubted-
ly be reflected in Japan itself and
strengthen the revolutionary wing of
the Japanese labor movement.
WE do not know the exact losses
" sustained by Japan in the three
months of the strike and in the boy
colt of her goods. As has already
been mentioned the 1919 boycott re-
suited in the trade between Japan and
China being reduced by 400. The
losses caused by the present strike
and by the much more effective boy
colt are undoubtedly incomparably
larger. This, apart from the general
political motives, lie at the root Of
the present Japanese '1eniency."
Japan's decision to seek a recon
cilliation with the Chinese workers
thru serious concessions greatly
weakens the position of the British
capitalists in the strike. The losses
sustained by Great Britain are ire
mendous. This is seen in the drastic
falling off of the exports Of the Ian
cashire textile industry, in the com
plete paralization of British shipping

! humanity to christianize the world.
The Filipinos may well ask the Amer
lean people to scrutinize Gen. Woods
declaration of policy. 1t should not
be forgotten that to declare this prin-
ciple, he ought to be a president Of
the United States.
Moreover, the United States con-
stitution itself insures religious lib
erty. The principle is well settled
and long established in modern de-
mocracies that the church and the
state are and ought to be distinct and
separate. And yet, here comes, the
apostle of christianity, Gen. Leonard
Wood, in his military garb and Inn
perial regalia, telling us that it is
treason to give political liberty to the
Philippines to the detriment Of the
torch of the christian faith. To him
the result would be lamentable! What
jejune jeremiade! The doctrine
that church is paramount and supreme
over the state belongs to the dark
and middle ages. 1t is 1outworn and
has no place in our modern world.
w claim that it is treason and a
crime to civilization to disregard the
righteous cause of the Filipino people,
just because christianity needs to be
deployed.
IF the constitution Of the United
1 states is right, the Orientals have
every right and liberty to remain pa
gan if they want to. The Filipinos
are ninety per cent christian. We
challenge General Wood to show a
better nation Of devout christians.
We are, as he says, peaceful. We
practice the ten commandments.
Rape, adultery, burglary, divorce,
murder, etc. ad infinitum are almost
unknown in the Philippines. These
are the antithesis of christian virtues
and yet they abound in the Occident-
al world. The other Orientals are not
ninety per cent christian. But can
the western world deny that the
Chinese have far superior virtues
than those who talk of outstanding

Hov. GENERAL WOOD is truly a
VI man of character. And in the
words of Mr.. Bell, "He has magnetism.
He has brains. He is not only millt-
arv man, but also thinker and a
statesman"
Nevertheless, his counsel will not
be gulped and swallowed en- toto by
the Filipino people, unless they Tor

fee. OF life on the sacred altar Oh I'D

memory of their heroic dead. Allow
ms then in behalf of truth and justice
to throw the light of reason upon the
seamv but honeyed masterpiece OF
General Wood.
BOILED to a nutshell, his recent ut
terauces may be summed up thus:
elm behalf of christianity, | am op-
posed to giving absolute independ-
ence to the Philippines, not only now
but for all ages and for all times.
In his own words, America must
stay in the Philippines Indefinitely"
If the Philippines is near America las
is Cuba), he would be willing to have
the Filipinos try liberty. In other
words since the Philippines is etern-
ally and permanently located in the
Orient-far from America-he would
not be willing to have us try liberty.
WHAT are the reason given by Gen.
w Wood to justify his conviction?
Because" he says, "strife, disorder,
and bloodshed would be the immed-
late results Of Philippine Independ-
ence." What rabid prophet of dis
aster! What an inconsistent critic is

THE first results were extremely
favorable to the fighting Shanghai
workers. Such points of the settle
ment between the Chinese Seamen's
Union and the Japanese shipping COM
panies, as the reinstatement Of all
the strikers, the payment of wages
for the entire period Of the strike,
the Forthcoming negotiations for wage
advances, signify an indisputable and
important, tho not complete, victory
for the Chinese seamen. The Textile
Workers Union apparently came to
a similar agreement with the Japanese

The negotiations on behalf of the
Japanese company which were con-
