HOW IT IIAPPBNED
Mr. A&helroan is only ono of thou
sands who suffered for years, owing to
the general belief In the old, false
theory that "Uric Acid" causes rheuma
tism. This erroneous belief induced
him and legions of unfortunate men
and women to tako wrong treatments.
You might Just as. well attempt to put
out a flro with oil as to try and got rid
of your rheumatism, neuritis and Ulfco
complaints, by talcing treatments sup-
Bosed to drive Uric Acid out of your
lood and body. Many physicians and
scientists now know that Uric Acid
never did, never can and never will
cause rheumatism; that it is a natural
and necessary constituent of tho blood;
that It Is found In overy new-born
babe; and that without it we could not
live!
Those statements may seem strange
to some folks who have all along
boon led to belicvo in tho old "Uric
Acid" humbug. It took Mr. Ash ol man
fifty years to find out this truth. Ho
learned how to get rid of tho true
cause of his rheumatism, other disor
ders; and recover his strength from
"Tho Inner Mysteries," a remarkable
book now being distributed free by an
authority who devoted over twenty
years to tho scientific study of this
.particular trouble.

Waiting StmUariuro, Dept 108. Nevada, Mo
(By Waiter Clark, Chief Justice
of North Carolina.)
Whatever the result of tho groat
striko in the coal mines and on the
railroads in 1922 whether it is a
compromise or is a defeat far either
side, it will not be a finality. On one
side there will be still ranged tho
power of the vast masses of wealth,
the real owners (for the minority
stockholders do not count), who are
conscious of their unimited power,
and determined to use it; and on the
other side are arrayed the millions
of men with wives and children de
pendent on them, who know that
they ure absolutely in tho power of
those great corporations who can
fix their wages, and therefore their
conditions of living, at will.
In this condition a renewal of the
battle from time to timo is inevit
able. It is self evident that whoever
owns or controls tho consolidated
coal mines, water powers and rail
roads tho fuel, the' lights and the
transportation of a country is the
master of its people. When these
were owned by small and competi
tive corporations the injury sustained
from them was the building up of
great aggregations of capital. But
today the small body of "Associated
Railway Executives" and "Associated
Coal Operators" representing a still
smaller body of great bankers, con
trol this vast power and either gov
ernment must take over the owner
ship of this great power or that pow
er can govern tho country.
When, as Henry Ford has shown,
the coal mine owners are concealing
their hoarding coal to force 300 per
cdfnt profit tho whole nation must act
in self-defense. It is more than a
just protection of miners or any
theory of government. It is whether
a people shall freeze or factories
stop at the bidding of profiteers.
It is a misconception ta call such
strikes as this a contest between
Capital and Labor. This has been a
a notable episode in the age-old and
world-wide contest whether Autoc
racy or "men shall control the condi
tions of life. Formerly and in other
countries Plutocracy was embodied
in the monarch, supported by the no
bility, an army and state church.
With us Plutocracy has none of these
supports but relies upon its well
known methods of shaping public
opinion and making itself the real
government by the selection and con
trol of officials, and through them
shaping or construing laws for its
own purposes. Opposed to Plutocracy
is the interest of all the -people, of
which Labor is only a small part, yet
Labor alone is bearing the brunt of
this great fight for civilization and
the rights of all men against the in
visible empire of aggregated wealth,
which is as ruthless, and possessed
by the same spirit, as when it was
visibly embodied in a monarch and
sustained by nobility and -array and
the terrors of the ohuroh.
In this strike of 1922, if the five
brotherhoods the engineers, etc.
had joined in the strike not a
wheel would have turned on a rail
road between the two. great oceans.
Many cities would have been out of
food in a few days. Business ofall
kinds would have been at a stand
still. The railroad unions woro mnn.
ters, if the brotherhoods had struck,
ua tuuy may cnoose to do In another
strike.
The right to strike against the pri
vate owners cf railroads is sacred.
Men cannot be forced to work unless
we repeal the XIII Amendment and
maintain standing army of millions
to enforce peonage. Laborers, have
a right to strike and to peacefully
picket. They cannot resort to vio
lence against person or property.
Hence the strenuous effort of union
leaders to prevont all violence and
of some corporation agents to pro
voke strikers to acts of violence.
It seems clear, therefore, that as
to the ultimate effort of tho strike
there can be but one result, and that
is government ownership of all rail
roads, telegraphs, telephones, coal
mines, water powers and all other
public utilities. Aside from tho merits
of the controversy, it is 'impossible
that the great public and the business
interests of the country can abide the
uncertainties which will attend a re
newal of such strikes. In all other
countries, most, if not all, public util
ities have passed into public owner
ship, and the same must occifr here;
and this being so, the sooner it is
done, the better.
England, the last country, to do
this, has owned the telegraphs since
1870, and took over the railroads in
1914, and has practically owned
them ever since.
When this country made ready to
enter the world war it was apparent
to all men that the transportation
system of this country under private
ownership could not possibly func
tion efficiently. It was clear that the
pecuniary demands of "the Execu
tives" of the various systems, the op
portunities for profiteering and the
certainty of strikes by employees in
protest against mismanagement
would cause an inevitable and total
collapse of the whole system of pri
vate ownership.
To meet this, the government was
forced to take immediate control of
the railroad system of the entire
country. Tho former railroad execu
tives organized a unionwide propa
ganda to decry, the success of gov
ernment operation. This was for the
two-fold purposes of securing the re
turn of the railroads to private own
ership, and immense profits which
were obtained after the war, based
upon allegations of the inefficiency
of government operation. The same
reasons, however, which required
government ownership to obtain the
proper functioning of our transporta
tion system during the war required
its continuance for proper and ef
ficient operation after its close,
At the close of the war every en
gine was put in force by the financial
interests to educate the public into a
wide-spread belief that government
operation of the railroad system of
the country had been inefficient. The
truth was that without it the railroad
system could mot have operated at
all.
But such was the effect of the
