7too|4Pll I Are 1/ fel i J 3. One |r . i In marriage only when there is equality of health as well as affection. Affection may be the basis of unity in marriage, but the superstructure depends largely on the womanly health. When the wife js tormented with backache, distressed t>y headache, and racked by nervousness, she has no ambition for exercise or pleasure. Doctor Pierce’s Favorite Prescription makes weak women strong and sick women well. It cures headache, backache, and other womanly ills by curing the diseases of the womanly organism which cause them. It establishes regularity, dries weakening drains, heals inflammation and ulceration and cures female weakness. Weak and sick women are invited to consult Dr. Pierce, by letter, free. All correspondence is held as strictly private and sacredly confidential. Address Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y. The dealer who offers a substitute for * Favorite Prescription” does so to gain the little more profit paid on the sale of » less meritorious medicines. His profit is your loss, therefore accept no substitute. "My wife commenced to complain twenty years ago," writes Lewis A. Miller, ex-Chief of Police, 33 Prospect Street, Weissport, Pa. "We have tried the skill of twelve different doctors She took gallons of medicine during the time •he was ill, until I wrote to you and you told us what to do. She has taken eight bottles of Dr Pierce’s Favorite Prescription and six of the ‘Golden Medical Discovery.' she can do her own work now and can walk around again and U quite amart. "Yon can publish this letter if you wish. We have received such benefit that we wish every •offerer could derive the same amount of good. My wife’s complaint seemed to be a complication of diseases—so the doctors said. We will ever remain your friends. May God bless you and your Institute.* Dr. Pierce’s Pellets are the most desir*bla laxative for delicate women.

The man or the party which persists in declaring the solution of a problem to be impossible will never solve it Pessimism is fatal to achievement. To assert that the Philippine situation is superior to American efforts is to admit that American ability to dlo has reached its maximum and is on the decline.

Dr. Edward Everette Halß, in a recent magazine article, says: In the treaty of 1814 it was with difficulty that even Mr. Gallatin and Mr. Clay could be held up to the mark of retaining for the United States the great Northwest territory. “What is the use?” they said. “It only gives you the care of the Indians.” Yet, in that doubtful territory are the States of lowa, Wisconsin, half of Michigan, Minnesota, and who should say how much of the country westward?

The demagogy and clap-trap manner in which the Democrats in Congress are handling the Philippine question is so plain that he who runs may read. Their attitude does not dtcjive many. The situation is a very simple one. We have the islands, and the only thing for us to do is to administer them to the best of our ability. If we make some mistakes, as we undoubtedly must, we will rectify them. But to talk about dropping the problem, abandoning the islands, retrograding, is the veriest nonsense, and nobody knows it better than the men who are making passionate and grandiloquent speeches in advocacy of such a plan.

The interest of .every voter In good government from a tax-paying standpoint is In direct proportion to the nearness of that government to him. The honest and economical administration of state affairs is of vital concern to the citizen and should not be lost sight of, even In the excitement of a campaign conducted on national lines. Good government ought to begin at home. In the management of the affairs of the state of Indiana a series of four Republican legislatures has made a record for honesty, wisdom and economy unexcelled In the legislative annals of this or any other state. The people of Indiana are not ready to reverse a policy which has been of such signal benefit to the commonwealth.

President Roosevelt is receiving much praise for his prompt and decisive action in the matter of relief for the Martinique volcano sufferers. Knowing that the dictates of humanity would impel Congress to appropriate the funds necessary to succor the suffering, yet not waiting for the slow working machinery of legislation, and the red tape of departmental methods, he ordered a vessel prepared and loaded for the errand of mercy without delay. By the time Congress had acted the vessel was ready to sail, and left New York on Wednesday. Following the ordinary procedure it would have taken a week yet before the vessel could have got ten away Our President has the nerve to meet an emergency.

Those politicians who are predicting explosive campaign material out of the supposed split in the Republican party, growing out of the Cuban matter, may have a surprise party in store for themselves. It is remembered that jubilant predictions were made along the same lines concerning the difference of Republican opinion regarding Porto Rico, when the status of that island was discussed in Congress, and yet the whole matter was apparently forgotten within two months. The President and the party leaders have suffered some annoyance in the failure to pass a measure which would have been attacked by the enemy as legislation in favor of the sugar trust. It may be that Congress will adjourn now without any action on this question. If so, all the campaign material so assiduously collected by the Democrats, will be found to lack starch, and the poor Democracy will still be without an issue.

To Senator Fairbanks belongs the honor of Introducing in the senate a resolution making an appropriation for the relief of the people of the devastated Island of Martinique within a few hours after the extent of the disaster at St. Pierre became known. This resolution would have passed both houses of congress the same day but for the objection of Representative Underwood of Alabama, who insisted that ccngress should await “official information” before going to the relief of homeless and starving people. Of the Fairbanks resolution, which was steered through the house by Representative Hemenway, the Gaulois of Paris, said: “Of all friendly manifestations, the most brilliant and the. most touching are certainly those of the’ United States. The great people beyond the ocean have again proved that feelings of humanity and generosity are among the noble qualities upon which they pride themselves. This fine example of human solidarity touches us profoundly, and we are happy to note It In this unforgettable circumstance.”

STANDS AT THE HEAD

Indiana Credited With Having the Most Effective Law Bearing Upon Child Labor. HOW FACTORY LAW OPERATES Chief Inspector McAbee Talks Entertainingly of the Practical Results of Recent Legislation for the Benefit of Indiana Wage-Earners. “In the matter of legislation affecting child labor Indiana stands first among the states of the Union.” This is the significant statement of Mrs. Florence Kelly of Chicago, sec retary of the Consumers’ League, and formerly factory Inspector of the state of Illinois. And yet, no longer ago than 1896, Mrs. Kelly declared at a national convention of the state factory inspectors held in Detroit, that Indiana was among the most backward of all the states in this very particular. With the approval of Governor Mount on March 2, 1899, of an act “providing means for protecting the liberty, safety and health of laborers” and “for its enforcement by creating a department of inspection,” the state of Indiana took Its place among those commonwealths of the Union wherein modern conceptions concerning the right of the wage-earner to safe and sanitary surroundings have been embodied In statutes. Judged from this standpoint, the most advanced states of the Union are Massachusetts, the pioneer in labor legislation, New York, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Minnesota, Connecticut and Illinois. The labor laws of these states are based upon 20th century ideas of human rights and duties. In striking contrast stand out the conditions in some other states of the Union —most notably Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama, Georgia, Florida and Mississippi. In the Carolinas, for instance, laws for the protection of the factory wageearner are as conspicuously absent as they were in England a century ago, when the deplorable conditions prevailing in manufacturing centers served to awaken the conscience of a nation and inaugurate a peaceful industrial revolution. Children 9 years old are employed 12 hours a day in some Carolina cotton factories, and the letalone policy has marked the course of these states in their attitude toward conditions surrounding their rapidly developing factory life. The Indiana Factory Laws. The Indiana factory inspection law, enacted three years ago, strengthened by the last legislature and enforced, it is safe to say, more generally than the similar law of any other state, embodies every demand and wish of workingmen within the scope of factory legislation. Not only have its operations proved of immeasurable benefit to the factory worker, but the results of its enforcement have proved most gratifying to manufacturers, some of whom, though 41 reluctant at first to comply with the provisions of the law, have expressed their pleasure with the outcome. “It pays” is a motto to be seen everywhere in one of the model manufacturing establishments of Indianapolis—and so it does ■ —not only in the promotion of good will and the increase of self-reliance and skill, the advancement of morals and intelligence among wage earners, but, withal, in dollars and cents to the employer who understands himself and those who labor with him. Provisions of the Law. The Indiana law provides, in brief,

against the employment of boys under 16 and girls under 18 in factories, stores or shops for more than 60 hours a week or the employment of any child under 14 years of age. The provisions for the enforcement of this regulation are more stringent than those of any other state. No illiterate child under 18 years of age shall be employed. No woman shall be employed in a factory between the hours of 10 p. m. and 6 a. m. Elevators, stairways and dangerous machinery shall be properly safe-guarded. Proper washrooms and water-closets shall be provided, with dressing-rooms for women. Female employes shall be allowed to take seats when their duties do not necessitate standing. Not less than 60 minutes shall be allowed at the noon hour; buildings must be safe and sanitary. Sweat-shops are specifically provided against. A chief inspector and five deputies are provided for the enforcement of the law, and are vested with an authority which Governor Mount declared to be greater than any he possessed as chief executive of the state. Supplementary acts require the weekly payment of wages, and the inspection and condemnation of all unsafe buildings of a public cr semipublic character, placing upon the defendant in actions for damages for injuries the burden of proving the contributory negligence on the part of an employe, and for the sanitation of all food-producing establishments, were! passed in 1899 and 1901. Organization of the Department. The organization of the department was effected under the original law of 1899, by the appointment of D. H. McAbee of Muncie, as chief inspector. He has been most efficient In the performance of his duties. The last legislature, recognizing the importance of a more thorough enforcement of the <aw, authorized the appointment or three additional deputies or fire in all

These are David F. Sprees of Vincennes, chief deputy; Harvey A. Richards of Muncie, Joseph H. Clark of Indianapolis, Thomas S. Wiliamson of Anderson, and James H. Roberts of South Bend. The demand for an increase in the number of deputies was emphasized by the recent rapid development of the industrial interests of the state. As Chief Inspector MeAbee says in his report just issued: “The wave of prosperity, which was first felt in the fall of 1897, has continued' with unabated force until not »nly have the unemployed found employment at remunerative wages, but it tas caused an actual dearth of mechanics and laborers in nearly all the trades. This is more noticeable in the window-glass houses and among that class of iron workers where the old process of iron, known as ‘puddling’ is still in vogue. Puddlers are at a premium, consequently they are receiving the highest compensation ever received for this kind of work. Furniture manufacturers are employing all who ask for work. Manufacturers of workingmen’s garments are crowded with orders, and sufficient help cannot be had to operate the machines now in position. The same conditions exist in all parts of the state. Common laborers do not have to tramp in search of employment.”

Chief Inspector McAbee Talks. “The work of this department has been largely educational,” said Chief Inspector McAbee to your correspondent the other day. “In almost every case it has been necessary only for us to call attention to deficiencies in factory surroundings in order to ensure their prompt improvement. In very few cases has it been necessary to employ drastic measures, but when occasion demanded, we have not hesitated to carry the law into the court for vindication, and we have not failed in a single instance to have it upheld. On the other hand many manufacturers have borne testimony to the beneficial effects of the law in the improvement of the personnel, the spirit and the efficiency of their employes. So great has been industrial growth ip our state during the past three years that it is exceedingly fortunate we have had this law to prevent the conditions which usually arise during such a period—the crowding of rooms, the failure to provide safety devices under the pressure of rapid changes, and the hasty erection of buildings.” Some Instances of Improvement. “Practical illustrations of the benefits of this law are plentiful. For instance, when I was first appointed, I was informed of a certain factory in Indianapolis where ten men were employed, one of whom died every year owing to unsanitary conditions. The room where these men were at work was at all /times full of flying dust. Conditions in that establishment have been revolutionized, the room is practically free from dust, and the life of a workman there is no longer limited to ten years. “I cannot now recall a place in the state that had, when this law went Into effect, what is called a blower system from emery wheels for taking the dust out of the rooms. The effect of flying particles of steel and other foreign substances, I need not say was most injurious to the health of workmen. Now the use of these appliances is practically universal. I remember one Indiana establishment employing a large number of men, where the rooms were so full of flying particles that it was impossible to see across them, forty or fifty wheels being in active operation. I said to the proprietor: ‘This will never do; your men can't live in such a place.’ It will cost me a thousand dollars to remedy the he replied, and he objected vigorously. I issued an order requiring the change, and it was made. Not long ago I went into that

Headache kills, not necessarlv suddenly, but SURELY. It preys upon the intellectual powers more than we realize. It consumes the vitality faster than nature can replenish it, and we cannot tell just what moment a temporary or complete aberration of the mind will result. Headache and pain should be promptly removed — but properly. Many pain cures are more harmful than the pain. Beware. If you would be safe, take Miles* Pain Pills. _ “As a result oi neuralgia I lost the sight of my right eye, and the pain I have suffered is incomprehensible, being obliged to take opiates almost continually. A friend gave me one of Dr. Miles’ Pain Pills and it promptly relieved me. I then purchased a dox and now my trouble is gone. They have also cured my daughter of nervous headache, and I heartily recommend them to others.” — \V. J. Corley. Bremond, Texas. Sold by Druggists. 25 Doses, 25c.

establishment and noted a complete change of conditions. I met the proprietor, who said to me: ‘Well, you made us do It, and it cost us a thousand dollars, but we are mighty glad ive got it in.’ This is only one of a great many similar instances.” Operations of the Law. During the last year 2.413 Inspections were made, an increase in number of about 40 per cent over the previous year. In the establishments Inspected 151,719 persons were employed. Nearly 1,500 hundred orders requiring changes in arrangements were promulgated. Fire escapes were ordered on 72 buildings. Accidents to the number of 672 were reported to the office. Mr. McAbee is of the opinion that the requirement that accidents be reported to the chief inspector is having a very marked effect in inducing manufacturers to introduce safety appliances, and that this in connection with the features of the law, will ultimately result In reducing the number of accidents from machinery at least one-third. Indiana is not. as are some of her neighboring commonwealths, a bureauburdened state. Every executive department, each created to perform a useful function, is operated upon a business basis, at no greater expense than the work in hand demands. During the year ending Oct. 31, 1901, the total cost of the department of inspection including salaries, traveling expense and office expenses aggregated only $7,921/8. The cost to the state per employe in each of the establishments inspected was a little over five cents. The result of an expenditure so modest may not be measured in dollars and cents, for who can estimate the value to a state of the health, the happiness and the contentment of her toiling citizenship in whose behalf the labor laws of Indiana were enacted and are enforced.

Senator Dolliver expressed in a few words the aM'tude of Republican leadership toward the Philippine problem when he said recently: “The time may come when we will in sheer exhaustion abandon our work in the Philippine Islands. Our burdens hav9 been grievous, and sometimes I have though* the'" have been almost too heavy to be borne; but if the time ever ccmes for us to go, our retreat will be taken up in an orderly way and it will not be conducted by the men who have defamed the uniform of the American army in the senate of the United States.”
