SPECIAL LAWS PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT IN BRIEF MESSAGE TO CONGRESS URGES NEEDED LEGISLATION. FAVORS REVISION OF TARIFF Passage of Hepburn Bill, Amending Sherman Anti-trust Law, Providing for Registry of Trust Agreements Urged at This Session. Washington, D. C. President Roosevelt Wednesday sent to both housou of Congress his special mossage, nnnouncod sevoral days ago. calling attention to legislation which he deoms it important should bo passed nt this session. A special plea Is made for the onactmont of a child labor law for the District of Columbia; the Immedlato reenactment of tho employers' liability law; a law providing for the payment of compensation for injury or death received by employes of the Government; amendment of the law governing tho issue of injunctions in labor disputes; amendment of the Interstate commerce and antitrust laws so as to permit the formation of combinations not In conflict with public policy; early finnnclal legislation along the line proposed by the measure now before Congress, and the establishment of postal banks. Text of President's Message. To th Sonate and House Of Representa tives": 1 call your attention to certain meas ures a to which 1 think there should be action by the Concress before the close of the present nekton. There Is nmpJe time for their consideration An regards most if not all of the matters, bill have been introduced Into one or the other of the two Houses, and it Is not too much to ?opo that action will be taken one way or the other on these bills at the present ession. In my message at the opening of the present session, ml, inueeu. in various messaKt- to previous Congresses. I have repeatedly suggewted action on most of these measures. Child labor should be prohibited fhrnuchout the nation. At least a model child -labor bill should be passed for the District of Columbia. It is unfortunate that in the one place solely dependent upon Congress for lt legUIation there should be no law whatever to protect children by forbidding or regulating their Yibor. I renew my recommendation for the im mediate re-enactment of an employers' lnbllltv law. drawn to conform to the re cent decision of the Supreme Court. U'lthln the limits Indicated by the court. the law should be made thorough and fomprehenslve. and the protection It affords should embrace every class of employe to which tho power of the Congress ;nn extend. In addition to a liability law protectn the omnloyes of common earrlors. the r,overnment should show Its good faith by rmetlng a further law giving compensation to Its own employtw for injury or ie&th incurred in Its service. It l n reproach to us as n nation that In both Federal and State legUIation we have affordid less protection to public and private employes than any other industrial coun try or tne worm. Curb on Injunctions. 1 also urge that action be taken (Ceng tho line of the recommendations I hnvo il ready made concerning injunctions in labor disputes. No temporary rri. ruining order should 04 Issued by any court vlthout notice; and the petition tor a permanent Injunction upon which such temporary restraining order has been Is sued should be heard by tne Court issuinc the same within a reasonable time lay. not to exctjd a week or thereabouts from the dato when the order was Issued. It Is worth considering whether It would not give greater popular confidence In the Impartiality of sentence for contempt If it was required that the Issue should bo Joclded by another Judge than the one Issuing the injunction, except where the :ontempt 1b committal in tho presence of tho Court, or in anotter case of urgency. I again call attention to he urgent need of amending the Internate commerce law and especially thr anti-trust tnw nlong the lines lndlcatJ in my Inst message. The lntcrauuu commerce law should be amended so ns to give railroads the right to make trafTte agreements, subject to the?e agreements bolng approved oy the Interstate Commerce Commission ind published in nil of their details. Tho Commission should also be given the power to make public and to pass Uon the Issuance of all securities hereafter Issued by railroads doing an Interstate commerce business. A law should be passed providing In srfect that when a Federal court determines to place a common carrier or other public utility concern under the control 3f a receivership, the Attorney General should have the right to nominate nt least one of the receivers; or else in some other way the Interests of the stockholders should be consulted, so that the management may not be wholly redelivered to the man or men tho fnlluro of whoso policy may have necessitated the crontion of the receivership. Receivership should be used, not to operate roads, but as speedily ns possible to jwy tlwlr debts and return them to the proper owners. Some Lawful Combines. In addition to the reasons I have already urged on your attention, it has now bocome important that there should be in amendment of thv nntl-trust luw, because of the uncertainty aa to how this law affects combinations among labor men nnd fanners, if tho combination has any tendency to restrict interstate commerce. All of these combinations. If and while existing for and engaged in the promotion of Innocent and proper purpones, should be recognized ns legal. As I have repeatedly pointed out. this antitrust law was n most unwisely drawn statute. It was perhaps inevitable that In foiling ifter tha right remedy tho lirst ftttemptn 10 provide such should be crude: and it wns absolutely imperative that (some legislation should be pawed to control, in the Interest of the public, the business use of the enormoun aggregations of corporate wonlth that are so marked a feature of the modern Industrial world. Out the present anti-trust lnw. in its construction and working, has exmpllfled only too well the kind of legislation which, under the gulso of being thorough -going. Is drawn up In such sweeping form as to Burns to Death in Hosoital. Sedalla, .Mo., Charles Dontihoe was suffocated at the Sodalla city hospital Tuosday night. He was an epileptic and In a convulsion foil irom his bed with euch force as to Jar a lamp from a shelf in an adJoining room. In tho second room was & negro under tho Influence of an opiate. He was sufficiently revived by the smoko to crawl to safely, but the epileptic was burned to death. The main hospital building was not damAged by the Ore, but thfi negro ward 1 was gutted.

beoomo cither Ineffective or else rols-

chlovoui. In the modern industrial world compilations are nbnolutvly peconsary; they nre uH-t-Kury among bunlm-m men. they -ptcoHsnry among laboring men. they uv-lit-coiiiInK tnro and more necessary among fanner Son of these coiulilnntlonn miv among tlie most powerful of nil Instrumi-nt fur wrong-doing, others offer the only effective way of meeting actual busiiuss need It is mischievous and unrfholtwom to keep uiton the statute ImokH unmodified a law. like th untl-trust law. which, wlille in practice only partially offet-tlve ngnlimt vicious combination, ha nevrrthi'loss in theory been construed so tm Hwevplngly to prohibit uvery combination for tho transaction of modern buln. Soinu real god has resulted from this law. Hut tin time has 00 mo wlion It la imperative to modify It. frich saht uf (lie farmers. Danaera to De Avoided. It has now become uncertain how far thin lnw may Involve ail labor organization nnd farniwrm' organisations, ns well as all ItUMlness organizations. In conflict with the law; or. if we secure literal compliance with the law, how far It may result in tlie dfHtrurtlon of tho organisations nci-aary for the transaction of modern tmshiesa. as well ns of ail Inbor organisation und farmers organisations, coinplHl vhet-k tne wise movement for securing buxlness co-operation among farmers, ntnl put back half a century the progress of the movement for tlie betterment of labor. A bill has been prescntod In tlie Congress to remedy this sttuutlon. Somo üiich measure ns tbld bill is needed in tlie Interest of all engaged In tho Industries which are essential to the country's' wellbelng. I do not pretend to say tho exact shape that the bill should take, and the suggestions 1 have to oiYer nre tentative; and my views would npply equally to .any other measure which would achieve the desired end. Hearing tills in mind. I would suggest, merely tentatively, tho following changes in the law: Actual Damages as Limit. If no such prohibition was issued, the contract would then only be liable to attack on tlie cround that It constituted an unreasonable restraint of trade. Whenever tho period of filing had passed without nny such prohibition, tho contracts or combinations could be disapproved or forbidden only after notice nnd bearing with h reasonable provision for summary review on appeal by the courts. LalKir organizations, farmers' organizations, and other organizations not organized for purfoses of profit, should be allowed to repstr under the law by giving tho location of tho head office, the charier and bylaws, and the names and nocires.ei of their principal officers. In the interest of all these organizations business, labor nnd farmers' organizations alike the present provision permitting the recovery of three-fold damages should be abolished, and ns 11 substitute therefor the right of recovery allowed for should bo only the damages sir'nfned by the plaintiff and the cost of suit. Including a reasonable attorney's fee. The law should not affct pending suits; n short statute of limitations should be provided, so far as tho past Is concerned, not to exceed n year. Moreover, nnd even more in the interest of labor than of business combinations, all such suits brought for causes of action heretofore occurred should be brought only If the contract or combination complained of wns unfair or unreasonable. It may be wall to remember thnt all of the suits hitherto brdught by the Government under the anti-trust law have been In cases where the combination or contract was in fact unfnlr. unreasonable, and against tho public Interest. Means to Avoid Strikes. It Is important that we should encourage trnd agreements between employer and employe where they are Just nnd fair. A strike is a clumsy weapon for righting wrongs done to labor, and we should axtend, so far na possible, the process of conciliation and arbitration as n subtltute for strikes. Moreover, violence, disorder and coercion, when committed in connection with strikes, should be as promptly nnd ns trnly repressed ns when committed In any other connection. But strikes themselves nre. nnd should bo, recognized to be entirely legal. Combinations of worklngmen, have a peculiar reason for their existence. The very wealthy Individual employer, nnd still more the very wealthy corporation, stand at an normous advantage when compared to the individual worklngman: nnd while there are msny cases where it may not be necessary for laborers to form r. union. In many other cases It is Indispensable, for otherwise the thousands of small units. th thousands of Individual worklngmen. will be left helpless In their dealings with the one big unit, the big individual or corporate employer. The business man must be protected In person and property, ami so must the fnrmcr and the wagewnrk"r: and ns regards all alike, the right of peaceful combination for all lawful purposes should be explicitly recognized. Union But No Boycott. The right of employers to combine nn.l contract with one another nnd with their employes should be explicitly recognized, nnd so should the right of tho employes to combine and to contract with one another and with the employers and to seek Paeenily to persunde others to accept their views and to strike for the purpose of peaceably obtaining from employers satisfactory terms for their labor. Nothing should be done to legalize either a hlnckiist or a boycott that would bf Illegal at common law. this lelng the type of boycott defined and condemned by the Anthracite Strike Commission. The question of financial legislation Is now receiving such nttentlon In both bouses that wo have a right to expect action before the close of the session. It Is urgently necessary that there bould be such notion. Moreover, action should be taken to establish postal savings bnnks. These postal savings hanks nre Imperatively needed for the benefit of the wngeworkors and men of smnll means, nnd will be a valuable adjunct to our whole finnnclnl system. The time hns come when we should tirepare for n revision of the tariff. This should be. and indeed must b preeifd by careful Investigation. It Is peculiarly the province of the Congress and not of the President, nnd Indeed peculiarly the province of the House of Representatives, to organize a. tnrlff bill and to determine upon its terms; and this I fully realize. Remove Wood Pulp Duty. I nm of the opinion, however, thnt one change In the tariff could with advantage bo made forthwith. Our forests need every protection, and one method of protecting them would be to put upon the free list wood pulp, with a corresponding reduction upon paper made from wood pulp, when they como from any country thnt does not put an export duty upon them. Ample provision should be made for a permanent Waterways Commission, with whatever power Is required to mnku It effective. Numerous bills granting wntcr power rieht on navigable streams have boen Introduced. None of them give the Government tho right to make n rononnblc chnrge for the valuable privilege granted. In spite of the fact that theo wntcr power privileges are equivalent to many thousands of acres of the es enni lands for their production of power. Nor Is nny definite time limit set. ns should always bo done In such capes. I slmll bo obliged herenfter. In accordance with iho policy stated In a recent message, to veto nny water power bill which does not provide for n time limit nnd for the right of the President or of the fteeretnry concerned to llx and collect mich a charge ns he mny find to be Just nnd rcnsonnble In each case.

The Evolution of

Household Remedies. The modern patent medicine tmii.' nee i the natural outgrowth of the old-time household remedic. In the early hiitory of this count EVERY FAMILY HAD ITS hoh MADE MEDICINES. Herb teal bitters, laxative and tonics, were to be found in almost every hoase, compounded by the housewife, sometimos assisted by the apothecary or the family doctor Such remadiee as picra, vliich wa aloe and quassia, dissolved in apple brandy. Sometimes a hop tonic, made of whiskey, hops and bitter barks. A score or more of popular, homo-mads remedies were thus oompounded, the formulae for which were passed alonq from house to house, sometimes wrt tei, sometimoe verbally communicated. Tho patent medioino business is a natural outgrowth from this wh losomo, old-time custom. In the bop;.!; ning, some enterprising- doctor, impreesfcd by tho usefulness of one of theee homo-made remedies, would take it up, improve it in many ways, manufacture it on a largo scale, advertise it mainly through almanacs for the home, and thus it would become used over a large area. LATTERLY THE HOUSEHOLD REMEDY BUSDfE88 T00E A MORE EXACT AND SCIENTIFIC FORM. Peruna was originally one of these old-time remedies. It was used by the Mennonites, of Pennsylvania, before it waa offered to the public for sale. Dr, Hartman, THE ORIGINAL COMPOUNDER OF PERUNA, is of Mennonite origin. First, he prescribed it for his neighbors and his patients. The sale of it increased, and at last he established a manufactory and furnished it to the general drug trade. Peruna is useful in a great many climatic ailments, such as coughs, colds, sore throat, bronchitis, and catarrhal diseases generally. THOUSANDS OF FAMILIES HAVE LEARNED THE USE OF PERUNA and its value in the treatment of these ailments. They have learned to trust and believo in Dr. Hartman! judgment, and to rely on his remedy, Peruna.
