FORUN OF THE PEOPLE OPEN TO ALL. Richmond, Ind., Jan. "'S, R)S. jMr. Editor: There scrma to lo :i real movement for the nomination of Gov. Hughes for the presidency and as t ho timo for the convention approaches, the American people will be awakened to the ad visibility o fthe nomination of Charles K. Hughes for president. Gov. Hughes of New York, as a public administrator is a unique and honest man. During his administration fie has been in accord with all the re form measures of President Roosevelt. Jfe is thoroughly opposed to all kinds of corruption and he i not. allied with tiny ring either as its boss or its tool. J-Je is a fearless, upright and able, executive, who came into the limelight as ne legal counsel engaged in unearthing the insurance fra.ids in the city of Kcw York, not having been in actiro politics up to that time. He was the nominee against William U. Hearst, of he New York Journal and he was the only man on the ticket who won. democrats being elected to subordinate positions. He vetoed the :'c fare bill in New York on the ground that this measure might, in individual cases, work Injustice to some of the railroads ii.ltb.ough. in his public utilities bill, which he fathered and secured, he has put the public service corporations of the Btate under much more strict governmental supervision, than the ever were before. If Gov. Hughes is nominated for the presidency, it will show that the people prefer a man who goes ahead discharging his duty as he sees it, as he is now doing in New York. It will show that the people prefer a faithful public servant to an aspirant who fceeks office by carefully concealing his views on all great questions. C. W H. Nature paints In colors bright.

United States Supreme Court Decides Erdman Act Is Unconstitutional.

JUSTICE HARLAN'S OPINION. Washington, Jan. L'.s. Union labor lost a hard-fought battle when th; supreme court of the United States decided that the Erdman act prohibiting railroads engaged in interstate commerce from discriminating against, employes because of membership in labor organizations, is unconstitutional. The constitutionality of the act which was passed by congress June I. 189, was called info question by the case of 'William Adair vs. the United States. Justice Harlan rendered a decision favorable to Adair. The opin ion holds that the law is repugnant to the constitution. Adair, as master mechanic of the Louisville fc Nashvilh; Railroad company, had a right, according to the decision, to discharge an employe because he was a member of a labor organization, just as it was the employe's right to quit such employment because of bis membership in such organization. Such a course, the decision adds, might be unwise, but, regarded as a mere matter of right, there could be no doubt. Congress could not, under the constitution, authorize a violation of contracts under the guise of protecting int.er.stau."' commerce. Justice McKenna Dissents. Justice McKenna delivered a dissenting opinion favorable to the aet& in which he said the court's decision proceeds along very narrow lines. The case came to the supreme court on a writ of error from the United States district court, for the Eastern district of Kentucky. Adair is the master mechanic of the Louisville &- Nashville Railroad company, and he was proceeded against on the charge of threatening to discharge from the employ of the company a locomotive engineer named Coppage because the latter was a member of a labor union. The act of 1S98, which was one of the results of the great Chicago strike, was invoked for Coppage's protection and the district court fined Adair $100. The constitutionality of the act was strenuously attacked in the district court by the railroad attorneys, and when the decision was announced they promptly brought the case to the supreme court, with the result that the decision of the lower court was reversed. In his decision Justice Harlan held that it was Adair's right to serve his employer as best he could so long as he did nothing forbidden by the law as contrary to the public welfare. AUGUSTUS HEINZE WITHDRAWS PLEA Thought Indictments Will Be Quashed as First Trial. New Y'ork, Jan. 2S. F.

CUBS' FOOD They Thrive On Grape-Nuts. Healthy babies don" t cry and the well nourished baby thrt :j fed on Grape-Nuts is never a crying baby. Many babies who cannot, take any other food relish the perfect Jied, GrapeNuts, and get well. "My little baby was given up by three doctors who said that the condensed milk on which I had fed her had ruined the child's stomach. One of the doctors told me that the ouly thiug to do would bo to try GrapeNuts, so I got some and prepared it as follows: I soaked VU tablespoonfuls in one pint of cold water for half an hour, then I strained off the liquid and mixed V2 leaspoonfuls of ibis strained Grape-Nut juice with six teaspoonfuls of rich milk, put in a pinch of salt and a little sugar, warmed it and gave :t to baby every two hours. "In "his simple, easy wax 1 saved ! baby's life and have built her up to a strong, healthy child, rosy and laughing. The food must certainly be perfect to have such a wonderful effect a-? this. I can manfully say I think it is the bet food in the world to raise delicate babies on and is also a delicious, healthful food for grown-ups as we have discovered in our family." Grape-Nuts is equally valuable to the strong, healthy man or woman. It stands for the true thory of health. "There's a Reason." Read "The Road to We-Uviile " in pkgs

GREAT MINE LEADER Miners in Convention Arc Considering the Donation of $30,000 to John Mitchell, Retiring President. HE MAY NOT ACCEPT GIFT OWING TO HIS PRIDE. Sensitive as a Child on Such Matters Miners Are Very Eager to Contribute to the Man They Love. Indianapolis, lud., Jan. :.--Would John Mitchell, retiring president of the United Mine Workers of America, accept a gift of S.JO.ooo if it should tut tendered to him by the great body of men he has led for so many years'.' This is a question that is being discussed by the several hundred men who are gathered here in their annual convention. Such a proposition is likely to be made to President Mitchell unless the committee on resolutions decide that a recommendation of this kind would not. be popular. In the light of President Mitchell's declaration to the convention yesterday that he would not. accept an advisory position -that he desired his successor to have the same opportunity of handling the organization that he has had some of Mitchell's friends feel doubtful on the question of his accepting a financial gift from the organization. The committee on resolutions made its report to the convention and in the batch of resolutions reported are several that provide recognition of President Mitchell's efforts for the miners in the shape of financial gifts. One of the resolutions provides a levy of lo cents on each member of the organization. In the report made by Secretary Wilson the other day it was shown that, the organization now comprizes 3K).MH "paid up" members. Ten cents from each member would raise a fund of ,S:iO,K. While the committees declined to say how it. would report on the resolution, it is believed that such a proposition would be popular in the convention. Miners Eager to Contribute. President Mitchell does not retire from the organization a rich man and every miner realizes that he has given the best years of his life to the men who work under ground. If the gift is made it will be proffered as freely as was the purse of a few days ago from the miners of Wyoming and Montana. Men who are well acquainted with President. Mitchell's character know his sensitive nature, and they fear he may not wish to accept a large some of money if it i i offered. Said one miner yesterday: "We know that John Mitchell is as sensitive as a girl, but if the present is offered him and he will consent to accept he would make every miner in the organization aappy." In his manly forceful way President Mitchell asked the convention at its session yesterday not to attempt to create an advisory position for him. "I ask you to press me no further to serve you in an official capacity." he said. "I must ask to bo permitted not to serve you any longer. No mattor who my successor may be, and I don't know who he is to be, I feel that he should be in the same relation to T0U that j have beeu in the laL leu ! years. For every act that brings any measure of success he should have the credit, for as with me, when there is nonsuccess. he will have to shoulder the blame." PILES CURED IN 6 TO 14 DAYS.

'Jv -The Inland Waterways (Jommission. created by rTe.-idcnt Roosevelt, about one year ago. expects to be. prepared to submit its first if-port to thv president this week. One recommendation of moment in the report is- that the government undertake the conservation of water power.
