This was the strike leader’s reply: “I don't give 2 d—n if all the meat in the United States rots.” This answer typifies the attitude of altogether too many strike leaders and strikers. Reduced to ‘its sinister ulti- mate meaning, .it is a direct notifica- tion that those who utter it. or ap- prove it, hold that the suffering and loss of a hundred million neople is nothing to them, as compared with the temporary advantage of a few hundreds or a few thousands of strik- ers. It Just as selfish, just as un- patriotic, just as inhuman and just as brutal as Vanderbilt’s notorious “The public be d—d,” when told that his mismanagement of the railroads was unsatisfactory ;to the public. ’ For in both cases—that of capitalis- tic greed and that of “labor” hoggish- ness—it is always the public, the in- nocent and usually remote public, which = suffers. -Vanderbilt’s profane admission of his own deliberate disre- gard of public rights raised such a storm of indignation that even he quailed before it, and was the directly promoting cause of a radical revolu- tion in railroad management. The equally profane and equally malevo- lent confession of this Illinois strike j leader that all the meat-in the United States might rot if thereby his union should gain its point—this ought to raise just as furious and just as ef- fective a storm of public protest and denunciation. Commenting on it, the Wall Street Journal says: “Can any union man, either radical or conservative, deny that the farm- ganize and stop production of all food | stuffs, apd the raw materials for shoes and clothing? “Such a strike would threaten the lives of the two-thirds of the popula- | tion of the cities and towns, including the workers in the shops, mills, mines and on the ilroads. But what of that? Haven't they (farmers) the same right to strike as others? When | the railwav- brotherhoods . threatened | to tie up the country's transportation, wasn't it with full knowledge that it meant death to many and untold suffering to a greater number? “When the -coal miners make de- mands to be enforced by a strike, peo- | ple must shiver, and*many die from | cold. » . .« “‘I don’t give a d—n if all the meat in the United States rots.’ _TOFARMERS _ ERS TALK crops he shall grow on his side, nor how he shall cultivate - them: My~ “rights” fence and John Smith's ‘rights’ be- gin at it.. With our admitted and ac- cepted mutual: “rights” goes the equal- ly mutual duty for each of us of keep- ing on his own side the line.

At the same time he has no right to establish on his own land any industry the na- tural effect -of -which is fo poison me or my family, or destroy my crops. In both cases our undeniable “rights” are strictly limited by our equally un- deniable duty. to ‘respect’ each other’s “rights.’ - The very existence-of peace- ful, orderly,.safe civilization depends upon the universal acceptance of this truism., Without, such acceptance, the world reverts from orderliness to an- archy; from civilization to savagery; from peace to war. v This is just as true in any other form of industry as on the farms. Un- til recently it has been accepted un- questioningly by practically all classes. of people. When some bully like Vanderbilt, overweening in the power associated with great wealth, under- took to flout it, he was speedily brought to terms by the tempest of almost universal indignation which broke on his he:yl. “The public be pleased” is now tae slogan of railroad managers who best know their busi- ness. Of course, the New York paper is correct in saying that farmers have just as’ much right to organize and strike as otner workmen. The ques- tion is not limited to a matter of rights, however. It involves a regard for duties and responsibilities, as. well, Have farmers any right deliberately to take such action as will cause suffer- ing and death among non-farmers, solely for the purpose of their own advantage? I put the question up to you, be you farmer or factory hand. ‘Admitting their theoretical “right” to strike and’ stop raising beef, pork, wheat, potatoes, etc. except for their own use, how far is that theoretical “right” limited by their duties and their responsibilities to the country of which they are an integral part?

Recent reports of seamen conzerning the present e: ive temperature of the waters of the Guif Stream, to which some, experts attribute the hzat wave along the Atlantic coast, prombiei the National Geographic Cociety to issue a hulletin concerning this mighty cur- rent. The bulletin, based on a commurica- tion from Rear Admiral John E. Pllls- bury, U. 8. N, president of tae Natina Geographic sociely dad tne world's foremost autherity on the Gulf Stream, follows: «*The Gulf Stream is probably, the fgrandest and most mighty of any ter- restrial phenomenon. Its waters are characterized .by a .deep indigo blue color of great clearness and high tem- perature. ‘It cam be penetrated by the eye to considerable depth, and general- 1y its meeting with the less saline polar waters! can be at once distinguished. “It is difficult for the Mmind to grasp the immensity of this great ocean river. The Straits of Florida at its narrowest point is about 40 miles wide. A cal- culation of the average volume of wat- er passing in one hour gives the enorm- ous sum of 90 billion tons. If this one single hour’s flow of water could be evaporated the remaining salts would require many times more than all the ships in the world tb carry it. “When one is on board a vessel, floating upon its waters, one is not as much impressed at the power and grandeur of this wonder of nature as he is when he stands before a towering mountain, an immense iceberg, or a fall of water such as Niagara, but when one remembers that the mighty torrent, speeding on hour by hour and day by day in a volume equal to all the largest rivers in the world com- bined, carrying its beneficent heat to temper the climate of continents, one begins to realizq that of all the forces of the physical ‘world none can equal this one river of the ocean. “Ponce deLeon, while on his famous search for the Fountain of Youth, made the discovery of this great stream. After his failure to find, on the coast of upper Florida, the means of cheat- | ing death, he turned to the southward and skirted the shore for hundreds of miles, thus stemming the current. “The name of ‘Gulf Stream’ was first suggested by Benjamin Franklin be- cause it issues from the Gulf of Mexi- co. While it is only a part of the grand scheme of ocean circulation, and the Gulf of Mexico is in reality only a stopping place, as it were, for its wat- ers, this name is generally applied to the current now as it was given by Franklin—that is, the current coming from ‘the Gulf of Mexico and spreading abroad over the North Atlantic. “The theories as to the cause of ocean currents have been many. “Franklin's theory, which has many advocates at the present day, was-that the winds produce the current by the alr moving over the surface of' the water, ang he illustrated this theory by the folléwing:” ‘It is known that 2 large -piece of water, 10 miles broad and ‘generally only 3 feet deep, has by a strong wind had its water driven to one side and susiained so as to be- .come 6 feet deep, while the windward slde was laid dry’ As will be seen later, this is a well-taken example of the force of the wind in causing the Gulf Stream, but it does not quite show ‘the whole of the truth. “In the tropical regions there is a steady movement of the air from east to west known 2 the trade winds. South of a certain liné situated near the equator these winds flow from a southwesterly direction, while north of the equator they come from a more northeasterly direction. The winds are not always strong, nor are they con- stant in direction, but they do not vary much, and then only for brief periods. “Winds blowing over the surface of the water induce a current in the lat- ter due to friction. At first it is only the merest skim that moves, but grad- ually the motion is communicated from layer to layer until at last, if the wind is long continued as in the trade wind region, the movement extends to lower depths, 300 or 400 feet, or perhaps more. “These trade wind currents meet finally, the partial barrier of the isl- ands forming the edstern part of the Caribbean, and a portion of -the flow escapes through the passages between them. From here. it continues its course across that sea until it reaches the obstruction of the Honduras and Yucatan coasts, from which it escapes by“the easiest route, which is into_ the Gulf of Mexico. “It has ‘been found, however, that the water entering the Caribbean by this means is not more than one-half of the amount which flows through the Straits of Florida from the Gulf of Mexico, and ‘the other half is supplied from a source which does not come under the liead of a measurable cur- rent. The other source is the wave caused by the wind. Every ripple carries a certain amount of water in the direction toward which it is flowing irrespective of the current caused by its friction, and’ when the waves be- Asthma Is Dangerous Folly Te Disregard Its Warning. Asthma is not only a disagreeable affliction but a dangerous one. The constant difficult ‘breathing, the choked up air passages, the struggle for air, the loss of rest, combine = to_ force a great strain on the nervous,system and ueart—often too great a strain to stand. f 1t is the worst of folly to neglect such a condition or to continually treat with ordinary narcotic _medicines, drugs, inhal smokes, or douches which merely give temporary, relief from the choking paroxysms and da not relleve or coereet the real cau-e of the, trouble. Instead get from Lee & Osgood or any druggist a small. bottle of “Oxidaze (esséntial oll) tablets and take one‘at short intervals whenever digtress is felt and one on going to bed. Instant relief is usually felt and in ad- ditfon the effect of consistent treatment is 4o gradually bring about a greatly imgroved -~heaith - condition- “as ~the symptoms of asthma disappear forever. Oxidaze is the successful prescription of a Worcester, Mass,, physic'an and its tredtment of asthma, even in the very worst forms, has probzbly never been excelied. 3 Lee & Osgood seil it and patients find it- a safe, pleasant and inexpensive treatment to use. come large, tons of water are hurled from. the crest into the trough every time the wave breaks. “In a large area like the Caribbean having a comparatively constant wind bowling over its whole surface, this action is ' practically “a- simultaneous movement of its surface waters tg the westward and a continual escape of the water heaped up at the obstruction of- fered by the land into the Gulf of Mexico, through the Straits of Florida, and into the Atlantic. “The Gulf Stream would be little felt on the coast of Europe did it ‘not receive a great addition to its volume of heat when en route. This is by means of a gentle flow from the north- east trade wind current that passes outside the Caribbean Islands and the Bahemas. The surface temperature of this outside current is about the same in its passage along the West Indian Islands as the Gulf Stream in the Straits of Florida, but it is less violent in its movements and there fs les sintermingling of its upper and lower waters, so that it arrives off Cape Hatteras with a- much ' higher temperature than that of the more | turbulent Gulf Stream.” IF THN AND NERVOUS, TRY " PHOSPHATE Nothing Like Plain Bitro-Phosphate to Prt on Firm, Healthy Flesh and to Increase Strength, Vigor and Nerye Force. ‘When one stops to consider the host of thin people who are searching con- tinually for some method by whieh they may increase their flesh to proportions hy the am* = hollows, the rounding off angles with e a. b 5T health and attractiveness, it is n> w der that many and varied suggestionk along this line .appear from time: to time in public print.
