When You Take Cold One way is to pay no attention to it; at least not until it develops into pneumonia, or bronchitis, or pleurisy. Another way is to ask your doctor about Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral. If he says, “ The best thing for colds,” then take it. Do as he says, anyway.

HOME IS PLACE FOR THE CHILD

This Is Keynote of White House Conference. REMARKS BY PRESIDENT

Says That “Government Consists of Men In It, and If You Do Not Have the Right Men Handling Any Part of a Great Governmental System, Then That Part Will Work Badly.’’—Specialists In Caring For Dependents Make Addresses. Washington, Jan. 26; —The importance of the preservation of the home intact was the central theme around which the discussion revolved at the conference on the care of dependent ■children which formally was opened by President Roosevelt at the White House. The subject under consideration was "should the breaking of a home lie permitted for reasons of poverty, or only for reasons us inefficiency or immorality?” It was the unanimous opinion of an array of notable charity workers and others who took part in the discussion that the child can best be reared under the influence of the home. It also was the consensus of opinion that where poverey exists in the home state aid should be given. President’s Remarks.

After <n;ilining the scope of the work before the conference, the president calli'd Homer Folks, president of the slate probation commission of New York, to the chair. The president spoke in part as follows: “There can be no more impdriant subject from tlie standpoint of the nation than that with which you deal; because when you take care of the ehjldrer yon are taking care of the nation of tomorrow. “The government can do much. But never forget that the government cannot do everytlting; there must always be help by individuals and associations outside. And as to the government itself. Remember always that ‘government’ is not merely an abstract term. The government consists of the men in it, and if you do not have the right men handling any part of a great governmental system then that part will work badly.”

Ail Plead For Family Ties. The speakers who made strong pleas for the preservation of the family ties included Michael .1. Scanlan, president New York Catholic Home Bureau; Ernest I’. Bicknell, president Conference Charities and Correction, 1909; Janies F. Jackson, Superintendent Associated Charities, Cleveland, O.; Judge William H. Lacey of the Washington, D. C.. juvenile court, and Dr. Edward T. Devine of New York. Scanlan tjeclared that there is a battle on between those who would preserve the family and those who would destroy it. “For us Catholics,” he said, “we stand by the teachings of our church In favor of the preservation of the family circle.” An emphatic affirmative was given to the question: “Should the state in spect the work of all caring agencies, including both instructions and home-flndlng societies?”

WRIGHT SCORED IN LABOR PAPER

Pardon Scorned by Gompers and Associates. “THIS TIRADE OF ABUSE”

Decision Called an “Unprecedented and Unwarranted Flagellation of the Cause and of the People We Have the Honor to Represent"—Federation President, Mitchell and Morrison Say “It May Be Necessary to the Preservation of the Liberties of the People That a Judge Should Be Disobeyed." Washingion, Jan. 22. —“We have not asked, and will not ask for clemency, and we hope our friends will not urge us to pursue such a course. A pardon would only leave the whole case in confusion, and it would have to be fought over again from the beginning.” This is the language used in a statement signed by labor leaders Gompers, Mitchell and Morrison in the current number of the American Federation--Ist in formal protest against the action of Justice Wright in sentencing them to imprisonment for contempt of court In the Bucks Stove and Range case Dec. 23. Samuel Gompers heads his statement “Judge Wright’s Denial of Free Speech and Free Press,” and he declares. ‘we will not ‘bate’ a single word nor lake a letter beck.”’ “Vindictive Spirit.” Gompers refers to (he “intempcrato and vindictive spirit displayed by the justice.” and Io "tills tirade of jydi-

cial abuse and misrepresentation.” In n separate statement, but he joins wilh Messrs Mitchell and Morrison in declaring that they would not “enter into competition with the court in the use of invectives, rancor or denunciation.” and that they should protest, “against the court's unprecedented and unwarranted flagellation of the cause and of the people we have the honor to represent.” They declare the ane “willing to accept the consequences" and state “it may be necessary to the preservation of the liberties of tile people that a judge should be disobeyed." They also declare that “judges sometimes usurp power and become tyrants" and that ‘disobedience to a tyrant is obedience to law.” "Judge Who Defies the Law.” Here is mother statement: "When a judge trsues an injunction like that in the Bucks Stove and Range case, it is 'he judge Who defies the law and not the citizens who refuse obedience ;.to his .mandates which would deprive men. of their constitutional rights.” The statement enters into a close analysis of the famous injunction rase, and it is asserted that Mitchell was not present at the labor moot in cs which direct '<l the circular letters attacking th” Rucks Stove end Range company; ‘bat he did not sign or have knowledge of its circulation It is asserted that Gompers removed the name of the firm from the "We Don't Patronize" list as soon as the injunction became operative and had no intent to defy the order of the court by its discussion
