Legislation was sought and not q
year has passed but some remedial
laws have been enacted. The first
great victory was the exclusion Of
The Chinese. While the law was
enacted in 1882, it was many years
later before it was 50 changed that
the American people were fully pro-
tected from that sort Of immigra.
ton.
Then came the federal cight-hour
law and the scaman's act, which
freed the last slaves in the United
States.
Many people do not know that the
trade union movement was the earl
lest advocate of compulsory educa
ton. At the same time it demanded
that children should not be permit
ted to work for wages but should be
sent to school and given every op-
portunity for recreation. The years
have elapsed since then but the
struggle to educate the masses and
to bring freedom from gainful occu
pations to the children has actively
continued. While two laws enacted
! by Congress prohibited children at
a tender age from working at gain
full occupations they were declared
unconstitutional
Now we have a proposed amend.
ment to the constitution which if
adopted will confer upon CONGRESS-
authority to pass statutory legisla
ton making child life free. Bitter
and malignant opposition is being
made to this worthy cause. Bit
the American Federation of Labor
will continue the fight until has
made it possible for Congress to
protect the nations children from
industrial exploitation.
The Saturday half-holidav and the
forty-four week are the results Of
trade union agitation.
The American Federation of La
Dor and its affiliated organizations
have not only brought greater hap
piness in the lives Of the wage earn
ers but in the nations hour of dan
ger it pledged the loyalty of its
members to the government of the
United States. And that pledge was
kept.
The American Federation of La.
Dor is never at as loss what to do in
any great crisis. And this was ex-
emplified thousand-fold in its at
titude during the great war.
Among the other victories and ac-
tivities which no one can deny to
Labor are W0rkmen's compensa-
ton laws, the restriction of immi-
grafton, preventing the importation

Of labor under contract, collective
bargaining, elimination Of the sweat
shop evil, abolition Of tenement
house labor, crusade against the
white plague by insisting upon sani-
tary workshops and condemnation
Of the sale Of narcotics.
One reason for the success Of the
legislation urged by the American
Federation Of Labor is that it benc-
fits all the people except the priv

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 16.-
Wrongful and unlawful wiles" are
charged against Frank Osberg in u

Der 81, 1907, and lived happily with
his wife until seven years ago whom
Osberg set about alternating his
wife's affections. Dahlke charges
that Osberg continued his efforts
daily until the wife, Florence

husband, forcing him to leave their

FUEL MIXTURE
IS SUBJECT
Of TEST
Volatility Determines ExpIo.
sions Necessary Before
Engine Starts

Richness of aiI-fuel mixture de-
termines the number Of revolutions
that must be made by an automo-
bile4 en- zine before an explosion rs
obtained. said J. d. Eisinger, or the
Bureau .of Standards in paper de-
livered TAT the. semfannua1 meeting
of the Society of Automotive engi-
neers. Various other features also
affect the time for starting the en-.
CINE as determined BY d series OF
tests conducted at the bureau.
Less fuel is used in starting il the
mixture is comparatively rich. but
the primary advantage to the driver
is that it gets the engine started
more quickly on a cold mornings
The more volatile the fuel used, the
more quickly the engine can be
started, and aviation gasoline gave
better results than commercial mo-
tor fuel.
The problem of starting in cold
weather depends to a large extent
on the temperature of the charge
and the degree of vaporiZation of
the fuel. The quality required FOR
starting may be very different for
different water jacket temperatures.
More complete vaporization and
quicker starting result from de
crease in throttle opening or by
choking which reduces the pressure
in the intake system; choking gives
somewhat better results than throt-
Ting. The use of one-half inch
throttle and choke orifices greatly
reduced the starting time.
The experiments also indicated
that from the standpoint Of starting
il is desirable to locate the carbu-

EUROPE BELIEVES IN
ANNUAL SPARK PLUGS

That the necessity for installing
new spark plugs at least once a
year is now being recognized in
Europe is indicated by the follow
ing statement of Scotch auto
motive engineer which recently ap.
peared IN the Glasgow Record.
IT would often pay. too. to
scrap the old sparkling plugs after
a reasonable period of service.
Drivers boast of having used
the same plugs for 10000 miles,
but it is doubtful whether the
economy is a real one.
'"The modern engine is more sus-
ceptible to plug conditions than is
often appreciated and. although the
plug makers may not be entirely
disinterested in their advice TO
change plugs occasionally. there is
nc doubt that the advice is sound.

cylinders in a given time. and the
engine starting time is considerably
reduced for a given rate of fuel
flow, when the jet discharges verti-

WHEN GOVERNMENT SAVES

Far from hurting business,
the governments economy has
been Of the utmost advantage to
business" says the New York
Sun. 1T has already resulted
in a reduction of several hundred
million dollars year in federal
taxes; it promises to bring about
a tax reduction of $500, 900, 900
or $500. 100000 more next year.
When the government saves
money it does not mean that the
money is not spent. What it
does mean is that, instead of
being spent by officials to keep
unnecessary bureaucrats in un-
productive jobs, the money is
left in the hands of the man who
earns It. and he may decide him
self how it shall be spent"
The president will find the
people behind him in his deter
mination to administer national
affairs in an economical and
business like manner. State
officials can follow the lead of
the president.

not available, and consequently
no information could be given as

tute the local community are
intensely dependent on one an
other. When we buy our merch-
andise from out of town con-
Germs, we take that much bust
ness away from local business
firms. If enough business is
withdrawn from them, they'll
eventually have to quit. Then
the small town would shrivel up.
Clerks and laborers and trades
men would have to move away.
That would directly affect the
value of our homes and farms.
Then, who would pay the taxes
that support our public institu-
tons, build and maintain our
streets and roads and pay the
interest on public indebtedness
already incurred? Our self-in-
terest, the safety Of our property
investments demand that we
trade at home, everything being
equal - quality and prices - and
support our local business men.
If anyone thinks he can refute
this argument, we will give a
years subscription to the
American for a logical argument
in favor of trading with the

A THIRTY YEAR LEADER
NOW RESTS

The sudden death of William
Jennings Bryan, the silver.
tongued orator. which occurred
at Dayton, Tenn, Sunday after
noon has shocked the nation.
Death was due to apoplexy
caused by brain hemorrhage but
was most likely fastened through
the great strain Of the Scopes
evolution trial which the Com.
moner was subjected to in de-
Tending religion against the evo.
luton theory.
Born at Salem, ILL.,, in 1860. Mr..
Bryan as a boy and young man
labored diligently to complete his
studies so that he might be OF
service to his country. This
love of work. and onward striv-
ing was kept up through his very
active career. His honesty and
sincerity was never questioned.
His silver oratory gained him the
Democratic nomination for presi-
dent Of the United States at the
early age Of SO, and he was twice
more a presidential candidate on
the Democratic ticket. but never
elected. The fact that he was
not elected to the highest office
in the land did not hinder him
from being a great and influen-
tial leader, in fact it likely aided
him in being a leader of public
opinion as it left him more time
to advance new problems and
ideas and to be heard by the
people.
One Of his greatest achieve
ments in public life was as Sec
rotary Of State in the Wilson adj
ministration when treaties of
peace were concluded between
the United States and thirty ma
tions whereby it was agreed that
each shall wait nine months be-
fore resorting to hostilities so
that an impartial commission
may investigate the causes of a
dispute and recommend a solu-
ton.
A national figure and leader for
80 years is record that is very
rarely attained and maintained.
There have been other silver
tongued orators and many of
them-they come and go--but to
have lasting qualities there must
be much more than oratory back
Of it-and that is what Bryan had
honesty and sincerity.
The writer heard the Com
moner in the presidential cam
paign of 1912 when he spoke at
Milwaukee, and we will relate an
incident which left a deep inn
preston.
The building in which he was
to speak was packed to the doors
at $50 o'clock and hundreds were
standing. the writer amongst the
standing. Mr.. Bryan was SEIZED.
uled to begin speaking at 9 but
his train was late and he did not
arrive till 4. Folks remained
standing. He spoke for II hours
or better and folks forgot they
were standing. Leaving the
building everybody wanted to ge,
close and see this silver-tonguec
orator. There was no shouting o,
hollering but deep respect. A.
he entered the automobile anc
started off all the men--hun
dreds of them near enough to see
him-removed their hats. Abso
lutely nothing compulsory about
it--but one could not refrain
from doing il. The thought up
permost in the minds of tn.
throng was undoubtedly tina
