Loup City Northwestern J. W. BURLEIGH, Publl«her. LOUP CITY, • • NEBRASKA. Mabillon Remembered. The memory of Jean Mabillon, a French Catholic priest of the Benedic tine order, who was one of the foun ders of the modern critical method in the study of history, was honored in Paris the other day when the church and learned societies united in cele brating the two hundredth anniversary of his death. The exercises were held in the Church of Saint-Germain-des Pres. in the abbey once connected with the church Mabillon did his great work. At the age of about 33 he ha* achieved so great a reputation foi scholarship that he was sent to this abbey to write a history of the Bene dictine order from the documents gathered there. Out of his study of the ancient documents grew his book, “De He Diplomatica," which is one of the earliest works on the authenticity of old manuscripts and on the tests to establish their validity. Mabillon is regarded to-day by French scholars as one of their national glories; yet hia youth was not promising. He began his studies with his uncle, the village rrlest where he lived, and he studied so hard and paid so little heed to his physical condition that he had to be sent from one monastery to another in hope that his health might be im proved. But this French country lad with an enfeebled constitution lived 10 the age of 75, and left a name w’hich is not forgotten after more than two cen turies. Female Tenacity cf Life. Statistics show that women have a greater tenacity of life than men. Among insects the male perishes at a relatively earlier period. Female quad rupeds have more endurance than males. In the human race, says the New York Weekly, despite the intel lectual and physical strength of the man, tlm woman endures longest, and will bear pain to which the strongman succumbs. Zymotic diseases are more fatal to males, and more male children die than females. The proportion dy ing suddenly is about 100 women to 780 men. Intemperance, apoplexy, gout, hydrocephalus, affections of the heart and liver, scrofula and paralysis are far more fatal to males than fe males. Pulmonary consumption, on the other hand, is more deadly to the latter. The married state is favorable to prolongation of life among both men and women. French naval vessels appear to be the special victims of disaster. The numerous casualties at Toulon, the naval station, and the mishaps to vari ous torpedo and submarine vessels will be recalled. *The latest accident is the explosion of a steampipe on the cruiser Descartes at Tangier, by which ten men were killed and 30 injured. Other navies, including our own, have had accidents of more or less serious character, and in view of the compli cated machinery which enters into the construction and operation of modern war vessels it is not surprising that these should occur occasionally, but certainly the French navy seema to have more than its share. Uncle Sam has 108 manly and well trained young second lieutenants for his army. They are members of this year's graduating class at West Point Military academy, to whom diplomas were given by Secretary of War Taft and who were forthwith commissioned for active service. The army is m need of'officers. and this new contin gent will be very acceptable. And who knows how many great soldiers and glorious heroes may be evolved from that gallant company of youths begin ning their military career so mod estly? Although in foreign countries and in ■ome parts of our own land a birth is announced in the newspapers as a matter of course, a New York man who advertised the arrival of his first boy now doubts the wisdom of pursu ing this practice in large cities. Within a fortnight he had had calls from 13 salesmen, and received 3d letters and circulars, and 58 samples, all aiming to promote the infant s health or hap piness by the sate of some article of merchandise. Baron Eugene St. Clair, who was a member of an old French family, who had been a professor in American and European colleges and who could speak 12 languages, died of starvation in New York a few nights ago. Why did the New York heiresses permit this? The Gotham policemen are to study various languages in order to attend to the needs of the polyglot population. From all accounts, one language thev need badly to study is the language of •civility, remarks the Baltimore Ameri can. The British, after all. are to give $100,000 for the release of Gen. Mac Lean. He comes high, but Haisuli was right in supposing that they must have him. This will give quite a boom to the kidnaping trade in Morocco. A New York court has decided that a mistress has the right to slap her maid if the maid gets sassy.” The ruling may be wise and reasonable, hut the trouble is that the maid will probably leave if the mistress takes advantage of her legal right. Straw votes are being taken in vari ous parts of the country, and in the meantime the various candidates are making hay wuiie the sun shines Somebody is going to reap a good harvest. • * • ' ■ " THE PRESIDENT GIVES OUTLINE OFUGISLATION In Special Message He Asks the Passage of Several Pending Bills. WOULD AMEND TRUST LAWS Believes Some Features of Present Statues Are Obsolete and Need Revising. Would Prevent Both Blacklist and Boycott—Sees Need of Tariff Re vision Commission and Im mediate Waterway Leg islation. 'Washington, Mar. 25.—The following is the full text of the president's mes- , sage sent to congress Wednesday: To the Senate and House of Repre sentatives: I call your attention to certain measures as to which I think there should he action by the congress before the close of the present session. There is ample time for their consider ation. As regards most if not all of the matters, bills have been intro duced into one or the other of the two houses, and it is not too much to hope that action will be taken one way or I the other on these bills at the present , session. In my message at the open ing of the present session, and, in- j deed, in various messages to previous congresses, 1 have repeatedly sug- ; gested action on most of these meas ures. Child labor should be prohibited ! throughout 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 sole ly dependent upon congress for its | legislation there should be no law I whatever to protect children by for- , bidding or regulating their labor. I renew my recommendation for the Immediate re-enactment of an employ- ! ers' liability law. drawn to conform to the recent decision of the supreme '• court. Within the limits indicated by I the court, the law should be made thorough and comprehensive, and the protection it affords should embrace every class of employe to which the power of the congress can extend. In addition to a liability law pro tecting the employes of common car- , riers. the government should show its good faith by enacting a further law giving compensation to its own era- i ployes for injury or death incurred in its service. It is a reproach to us as a nation that in both federal and state legislation we have afforded less pro tection to public and private employes than any other industrial country of the world. Injunction Legislation. I also urge that action be taken along the line of the recommendations 1 have already made concerning in junctions in labor disputes. No tem porary restraining order should be is sued by any court without notice; and the petition for a permanent injunc tion upon which such temporary re straining order has been issued should be heard by the court issuing the same within a reasonable time—say, not to exceed a week or thereabouts from the date w hen the order was issued. It is worth considering whether it would not give greater popular confidence in the impartiality of sentences for con tempt if it was required that the issue should be decided by another judge than the one issuing the injunction, except where the contempt is com mitted iu the presence of the court, or in other case of urgency. Rate Law Amendments. I again call attention to the urgent need of amending the interstate com merce law and especially the anti-trust law along the lines indicated in my last message. The interstate com merce law should be amended so as to give railroads the right to make traffic agreements, subject to these agreements being approved by the in terstate commerce commission and published in all of their details. The commission should also be given the power to make public and to pass upon the issuance of all securities hereafter issued by railroads doing an interstate commerce business. A law should be passed providing in effect that w hen a federal court de termines to place a common carrier or other public utility concern under the control of a receivership, the at torney general should have the right to nominate at. least one of the receiv ers; or else in some other way the interests of the stockholders should be consulted, so that the management may not be wholly re-delivered to the man or men the failure of whose pol icy may have necessitated the crea tion of the receivership. Receiverships should be used, not to operate roads, but as speedily as possible to pay their debts and return them to the proper owners. Would Amend Anti-Trust Law. In addition to the reasons 1 have al ready urged on your attention, it has now become important that there should be an amendment of the anti FAMILY RUNS IN HARD LUCK. Philadelphia People Have Good Reason to Complain of Fate. Here is a real hard-luck story. Two months ago the six-year-old son of Frederick Levy of 624 South Amer ican street, Philadelphia, fell in front of a street car and had his left arm severed at the shoulder. Before the lad was released from the Pennsyl vania hospital his mother and three other children were removed^ to the Municipal hospital with fever. trust lav.-, because of the uncertainty as to how this law affects combina tions among labor men and farmers, if the combination has any tendency to restrict interstate commerce. All of these combinations, if and while existing for and engaged in the promo tion of innocent and proper purposes, should be recognized as legal. As I have repeatedly pointed out, this anti trust law was a most unwisely drawn statute. It was perhaps inevitable that in feeling after the right remedy the first attempts to provide such should be crude: and it was absolutely imper ative that some legislation should be passed to control, in the interest of the. public, the business use of the enormous aggregations of corporate wealth that are so marked a feature of the modern industrial world. But the present antitrust law. in its con struction and working, has exempli fied only too well the kind of legisla tion which, under the guise of being thoroughgoing, is drawn up in such sweeping form as to become either in effective or else mischievous. In the modern industrial world com binations are absolutely necessary: they are necessary among business men. they are necessary among labor ing men, they are becoming more and more necessary among farmers. Some of these combinations are among the most powerful of all instruments for wrongdoing. Others offer the only ef fective way of meeting actual business needs, it is mischievous and unwhole some to keep upon the statute books unmodified a law, like the antitrust law, which, while in practice only partially effective against vicious com binations. has nevertheless in theory been construed so as sweepingly to prohibit every combination for the transaction of modern business. Some real good has resulted from this law. Hut tile time has come when it is im perative to modify it. Such modifica tion is urgently needed for the sake of the business men of the country, for the sake of the wageworkers and for the sake of the farmers. The con gress can not afford to leave it on the statute books in its present shape. Remedies Advised It has now become uncertain tiow far this law may involve all labor.or ganizations and farmers’ organizations, as well as all business organizations, in conflict with the law; or, if we se cure literal compliance with the law, how far it may result in the destruc tion of the organization necessary for the transaction of modern business, as well as of labor organizations and farmers' organizations. completely check the wise movement for secur ing business cooperation a.uumg fann ers. and put back half a century the progress of the movement for the betterment of labor. A bill has been presented in congress to remedy this situation. Some such measure as this bill is needed in the interest of all en gaged in the industries which are es sential to the country's well-being, i do not pretend to say the exact shape that the bill should take, and the sug gestions I have to offer are tentative; and my views would apply equally to any other measure which would achieve the desired end. [tearing this in mind. I would suggest, merely ten tatively, the following changes in the law; The substantive part of the anti trust law should remain as at pres ent; that is. every contract in restraint of trade or commerce among the several states or with foreign nations should continue to be declared ille gal; provided, however,' that some proper governmental authority (such as the commissioner of corporations acting under the secretary of com merce and labor) be allowed to pass on any such contracts. Probably the best method of providing for this would be to enact that any contract subject to the prohibition contained in the antitrust law. into which it is desired to enter, might be filed with the bureau of corporations or other ap propriate executive body. This would provide publicity. Within, say, 60 days of the filing—which period could be extended by order of the depart ment whenever for any reason it did not give the department sufficient time for a thorough examination—the executive department having power might forbid the contract, which would then become subject to the provisions of the antitrust law, if at all in re straint of trade. If no such prohibition was issued, the contract would then only be li able to attack on the ground that it constituted an unreasonable restraint of trade. Whenever the period of fil ing had passed without any such pro hibition. the contracts or combinations could be disapproved or forbidden only after notice and hearing with a rea sonable provision for summary review on appeal by the courts. Labor or ganizations. farmers' organizations, and other organizations not organized for purposes of profit, should be al lowed to register under the law by giving the location of the head office, the charter and by-laws, and the names and addresses of their princi pal officers. In the interest of all these organizations—business. labor, and farmers' organizations alike—the pres ent provision permitting the recovery of threefold damages should be abol ished, and as a substitute therefor the right of recovery allowed for should be only the damages sustained by the plaintiff and the cost of suit, including a reasonable attorney's fee. The law should not affect pending suits; a short statute of limitations should be provided, so far as the past is concerned, not to exceed a year. Moreover, and even more in the inter est of labor than of business combina tions, all such suits brought for causes of action heretofore occurred should be brought only if the contract or combination complained of was un fair or unreasonable. It may be well Some day large eight-year-old Fred erick Levy, at home with his father, ran from the house on an errand. Within a stone's throw of his home he slipped and fell in front of a trolley car. The left foot was taken off at the ankle. As he was being hurried to the Pennsylvania hospital the wagon in which he had been placed collided with another wagon at Fifth and South streets. The driver, Armond Scherer of K36 North Eighth street was thrown to the pavement and his arm was broken. The Injured lad was to remember that all of Llic suits hith erto brought by the government under the antitrust law have been in cases where the combination or contract was in fact unfair, unreasonable, and against the public interest. Labor Organizations. It is important that we should en courage trade agreements between em ployer and employe where they are just and fair. A strike is a clumsy weapon for righting wrongs done to labor, and we should extend, so far as possible, the process of conciliation and arbitration for strikes. Moreover, violence, disorder and coercion, when committed in connection with strikes, should he as promptly and as sternly repressed as when committed in any other connection. But strikes them selves are. and should be, recognized to be entirely legal. Combinations of workingmen have a peculiar reason for their existence. The very wealthy individual employer, and still more the very wealthy corporation, stand at an enormous advantage when compared to the individual workingman; and while there are many cases where it may not be necessary for laborers to form a union, in many o.ther cases it is indispensable, for otherwise the thousands of small units, the thou sands of individual workingmen, will lie left helpless in their dealings with the big one unit, the big individual or corporate employer. Twenty-two years ago. by the act of June 29, 1SS6, trades unions were rec ognized by law, anti the right of la boring people to combine for all lawful purposes was formally recog nized, this tight including combina tions for mutual protection and bene fits, the regulation of wages, hours and conditions of labor, and the pro tection of the individual rights of the workmen in the prosecution of their trade or trades; and in the act of June t, ISPS, strikes were recognized as legal in the same provision that for bade participation in or instigation of force or violence against persons or property, or the attempt to prevent others from working, by violence, threat or intimidation. The business man must be protected in person and property, and so must the farmer and the wageworker; and as regards ail alike, the right of peaceful combina tion for all lawful purposes should be explicitly recognized. Objects to Boycott. The right of employers to combine and contract with one another and with tlieir employes should be explic itly recognized: and so should the right of the employes to combine and to contract with one another and with the employers, and to seek peaceably to persuade 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 blacklist or a boycott that would be illegal at common law, this being the type of boycott defined and condemned by the anthracite strike commission. The question of financial legislation is now receiving such attention in both houses that we have a right to expect action before the close of the session. It is urgently necessary that there should lte such action. Moreover, action should be taken to establish postal savings banks. These postal savings banks are imperatively needed for the benefit of the wageworkers and men of small means, and will be a val uable adjunct to our whole financial system. Tariff Revision. The time has come when we should prepare for a revision of the tariff. This should be. and indeed must be. preceded by careful investigation. It is peculiarly the province of the con gress and not of the president, and in deed peculiarly the province of the house of representatives, to originate a tariff bill and to determine upon its terms; and this I fully realize. Yet it seems to me that before the close of this session provision should be made for collecting full material which will enable the congress elected next fail to act immediately after it comes into existence. This would necessitate some action by the congress at its present session, perhaps in the shape of directing the proper committee to gather the necessary information, both through the committee itseif and through government agents who should report to the committee and should lay before it the facts which would permit it to act with prompt and intelligent fairness. These govern ment agents, if it is not deemed wise to appoint individuals from outside the public service, might with advantage be members of the executive depart ments, designated by the president, on his own motion or on the request of the committee, to act with it. I am of the opinion, however, that one change in the tariff could with advantage be 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 come from any country that does not put an export duty upon Waterways Commission. Ample provision should be made for a permanent waterways comtnis sion, with whatever power is required to make it effective. The reasonable expectation of the people will not be met unless the congress provides at this session for the beginning and prosecution of the actual work of wa terway improvement and control. The congress should recognize in ftllest fashion the fact that the subject of the conservation of our natural resources, with which this commission deals, is literally vital for the future of the na tion.

Alum should never be absent from any household. It has a very good ef fect if applied to bleeding wounds, as it checks the loss of blood. Boiled in milk in small quantities it is good for toothache. It must be held in the mouth, not swallowed. For bleeding of the mouth or tongue, a wash in cold water in which alum has been I dissolved is verv effective. The Evolution of Household Remedies. The modem patent medicine busi ness is the natural outgrowth of the i old-time household remedies. In the early history of this country, EVEEY FAMILY HAD ITS HOME MADE MEDICINES. Herb teas, 1 bitters, laxatives and tonics, were to be | found in almost every house, compound ed by the housewife, sometimes assisted by the apothecary or the family doctor. Such remedies as picra, which was aloes and quassia, dissolved in apple j brandy. Sometimes a hop tonic, made ! of whiskey, hops and bitter barks. A ! score or more of popular, home-made I remedies were thus compounded, the formulae for which were passed along from house to house, sometimes written, sometimes verbally communicated. » The patent medicine business is a natural outgrowth from this whole some, old-time custom. In the begin ning, some enterprising doctor, im pressed by the usefulness of one of these home-made remedies, would take it up, improve it in many ways, manu facture it on a large scale, advertise it mainly through almanacs for the home, and thus it would become used over a large area. LATTEELY THE HOUSE HOLD EEMEDY BUSINESS TOOK A MOEE EXACT AND SCIENTIFIC FOEM. Peruns. was originally one of these old-time remedies. It was used by the Mennonites, of Pennsylvania, before it was offered to the public for sale. Dr. Hartman, THE OEIGINAL COM POUNDEE OF PEEUNA, is of Men nonite origin. First, he prescribed it for his neighbors and his patients. The sale of it increased, and at last ha established a manufactory and fur nished 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 LEAENED THE USE OF PEEUNA and its value in the treatment of these ailments. They have learned to trust and believe in Dr. Hartman’s judgment, and to rely on his remedy, Peruna. 5 economy in decorating the walls of your home, can. be most surely effected by using MahasKne The Sanitary Wall Coating The soft, velvety Alabas tine tints produce the most artistic effects, and make the home lighter and brighter.
