EVEN THE BLIND
CAN SEE

A LII credit to the British miners.
Their courage, discipline and
yigor is a real inspiration to the
working class the world over. 1t
is also serving as a serious check
upon the "open shop" and wage
cutting ambitions of many an
American capitalist. The Ameri-
can workers are, therefore, in duty
bound to come to the immediate
assistance of the British miners
with substantial sums of money.
The real nature of the desperate
struggle in which the British
miners are engaged is becoming
obvious even to the blind. And
what is it?
1t is to stop the offensive of
British capital against labor. 1t
. is to save the entire British work
ing class from being thrown into
the abyss of misery and starva-
ton to which British capital is
persistently driving the working
masses. 1t is to save the British
trade union movement from dem
oralization.
And in this struggle the Brit
ish miners are confronting the
tremendous weight of a practical
ly united capitalist class which
has to its service the full might of
the governmental machine. Bald
wins government is doing the bid
ding of the British coal magnates
as truly and Loyalty as they could
desire.
The king already signed the
eight-hour bill for the miners,
and the Baldwin government is
now spending tens of thousands
of dollars in full page advertise
ments in all English newspapers
trying to show show an increase
in one hour would solve the coal
problem and give the miners, full
satisfaction"
At the same time parliament
decides to continue in force the
emergency Act" which gives the
government wartime powers to
crush the strike by all means at
its disposal.
But the British miners are not
dewnhearted. Despite the black
treachery of the class-collabora-
ton trade union leaders who call
ed off the general strike leaving
the miners alone in the field; and
despite the cowardly behavior of
the sham left wingers, who sur

Her husband took her to Elmer

Her apartment door was open

standing in the hallway. She
screamed and he knocked her TO

Mr.. James H. Allen, OF 20

suffered for years with rheu-
matism. Many times this ter.
rible disease left him helpless
and unable to work.
He finally decided. after
years OF ceaseless study, that
no one can be free from rheu-
matism until the accumulated
impurities, commonly called
uric acid deposits, were dis
solved in the joints and mus.
cles and expelled from the
body.
With this idea in mind he
consulted physicians, made ex-
periments and finally COM
pounded a prescription that
quickly and completely BAN
fshed every sign and symp-
tom of rheumatism from his
system.
He freely gave his discov-
cry, which he called Allen
rhu, to others who took 1t,
with what might be called
marvellous success. After years
of urging he decided to let

their seaplane fell into the harbor
about 500 yards from Shore The men
were 1t. Howard Folk Councill of
Hickory, n. c.. and Aviation Machin-
lists Mate c. T. Giddens of Norman
Park, Ga. Their bodies were recov-
cred.
The accident occurred after the plane
had landed here and left Capt. Emery
S. Land OF Washington, who planned
to visit members of his family who
are spending the summer at Vineyard
Haven. The plans took off from the
waters of the harbor about two hours
later for trip to Newport r. l., for
gasoline and oil.
Only few minutes after the ascent,
however, the plane entered a cloud or
small fog bank, about half mile
from shore and at an altitude of 500
feet. AS the seaplane sped into the
cloud it was apparently running per-
fectly, but as 1t emerged 1t took a
sharp nose dive and plunged with bull
let-like speed straight into the harbor,
just outside the breakwater. AS 1t
struck, the plane collapsed.

tom of the harbor in IS feet of water

been opened. 1t. Councill's body was

1924, the last annual period for
which figures are obtainable. Dur
ing the FIVE years from 1920 to
1924, carelessness with matches
caused the loss of s171, 100000 or
enough to erect $4,000 homes at
$4,000 each.
The insurance organization tells
us that Americans use 10000, 900
matches daily. This means 770.-
100000 times that we must be care
full. The percentage of carelessness,
therefore, does not need to be very
great in order to bring about
disastrous results.
The destruction of property is of
small consequence compared with
the destruction OF human life due
to carelessness in the use OF
matches. A few years ago 145 girls
were burned to death In q New
York shirtwaist factory because Of
a carelessly tossed match. At
Binghamton, n. Y, 35 workers lost
their lives because someone was
careless in disposing Of a lighted
cigarette.
America has not forgotten the
tragic story OF the Windsor Hotel
fire in New York. An old man,
lighting a cigar, tossed the flaming
match into lace curtain.
Bear in mind always that con-
slant carefulness is a part of true
thrift.

Says Smith Can
Be Nominated But
Not Elected President

New York, July 31.-(P)-If the
two thirds rule at the next Dem
ocratic national convention is sus-
pended, Gov. Alfred E. Smith of New
York, will be nominated by acclama-
ton, in the opinion of Senator T. H.
Caraway of Arkansas. who sailed to-
day on the Celtic. He will attend the
annual meeting of the Interparlia-
mentary Union at Geneva.
Senator Caraway said that while he
admires Gov. Smith he does not be-
lieve that he can be elected on ac-
count of his avowed wet policies and
his religion.
1.-THE nation would defeat an >out-
andout wet candidate" he said, "by
a two thirds majority.
THE people of New York, Pennsyl-
vania, Illinois, Ohio and other pop
ulous centers do mot understand the
pulse of the nation which is for en-
forcement of the prohibition law. II
the law is not just. then it should be
repealed, but there should be no COM
promise by tampering with it,
through altering the Volstead act and
those opposing the 18th amendment
should work for the repeal, not it's
modification, which is patiently abb
surd."
The senator said he did not share
the narrowed ideas" OF those who
oppose the governor on religious
grounds.
He predicted that a Democrat
would be elected President and said
the Democrats would select some
man, not even now known to politics.

publicans will do the same"
THE vote will go against the Re

as a whole disguised with the man
ner in which the Republicans have
conducted office"
1T is pathetic" he added that
Mr.. Coolidge should be surrounded
today at his fishing camp with some
of the cleverest newspaper men of
the day. and yet he says and does
nothing"
IF he is fishing. my view is that
he Is a very poor fisherman. He
could angle for something bigger
than a pike of a pickerel" .
