ROBINS DISCESSES TR ADAMSON LAW Former . Progressive Leader Tells South Side Men Real .+, Meaning of Act. W!LSiON GAVE UP RIGHTS “Thie president committed an unfair | and illegitimate act when he: sur- rendefed ander pressure to the rail- road brotherhoods, by ordering the passage of the Adamson wage-raising act,” was a statement made by Ray- mond’ Robins, the distingmshed labor student and speaker, and member of the republican national advisory coun- cil i an address last evening at Franek’s hall, South Side. He striick out from the shoulder in his attack od the Adamson bill and showed wherein a stable government is weakened by such a surrender on the pagt of the executive branch of the | national _government to ane class | group. without first investigating' the meritg:of the-case or recognizing. the valuable principles of arbitration, On this sphject he said: “I Pelieye that fio group of Ameri- can citizens shauld be opposed to the principles ;of arbitration and 1 take vigo! ‘eXceptions-to the president uponythe manner dn which he made his p% ition to the railroad presi- ring .the’ recent threatened strike.* -Wage Rl‘ldnl Bill, his adyocacy of the Adamson president did not contemplate -hour day.on asingle railroad. rdising the present ‘t’g.an eight-hour basis, yldfs e\ridemi that fl;‘e age-raising proposition with- ze’ing the rights of the shlg- ‘or.the general public.

He is the man who is | able to unite all sections of the coun- | try against the present administration. | He has shown himself to be a_great | executive and is an exemplar of hon- | esty and efficiency, Every working- | man is interested in honesty and ef- | ficiency in public service. He appeals | to the reuplc as a man opposed fo boss rule, as was evidenced when he fought the invisible government when he was governor of his own state. A Real Progressive. “A change in the social and eco- nomic system of this country is neces- sary and I am confident that Hughes will be the man_who will accomplish that change. He is a real progres- sive and is a candidate who appears before the people without pre-nomina- tion entanglements., 1 was in Chi- cago at the time of the convention and I know there was no Hughes headquarters there. Mr, Hughes s a man who knows what should be done and how it should be done, ac- cording to the law and constitution of the land. As governor he was close to the heart of labor, and he is a man in whom labor can place the uy- most confidence, I submit his labor record to all thoughtful men.” America Must Lead. Mr. Robins drew a picture of the changed world' conditions which will confront ‘this country at the close of the European war. He said that America must furnish the leadership of the world in this great democratic advance and the great democrate pur- pose of the world. “The rank and file of the republican arty gives the best hope for the so- ution of our social and economic problems and of meeting the great problems of the future,” he said. He reviewed the changes of social and industrial life which have been wrought during the last thirty years, He referred to a new situation call- ing for new statemanship of firm pur- pose. He told of the transition of American life from the old and simple form of individualistic activities to the resent-day complex system with arge corporations employing thop- sands of men, and the owners and dis/ rectors in most instances living mahy miles from the source of their earn- ings. He 'said that politics has changed; that every home today is more intercsted in politics than ever before, and th\t the people in this country are dealihg with politics as a social concern, Asks Political Integrity. “The . progressive movement is over,” declared Mr, Robins, “and its work is done insofar as a third party = “Soe How That Corn Comes Clear OH!” “GETS-IT” Loosens Your Corns Right Off, It's the Modern Corn Wonder—Never Fails “It's hard to believe anyth'ng could act like that in getting a corn off, Why, I just lifted that eorn ‘filll off with my finger nail, ‘GETS-IT’ is certainly wonderful!” Yes, “GETS-IT” is the most wonderful corn-cure aver known besause ‘{"m jdon't have to fool and putter around with your corns, . them up with bandages or try to dig \hem out. ! “QETS-IT" is a liquid.

THE BEE: OMAHA, FRIDAY, OCTOBER is concerned.” He bespoke political integrity in this country and said he was interested in politics because of his home, family and his country. The meeting was held under the auspices of the South Side Hughes and Fairbanks club. Mr. Robins made an effective impression upon his audi- ence. Attempt at Disturbance. A gang of rough-house democrats attempted to create a disturbance be- fore the meeting was called. Two liquor-laden leaders of the gang be- came so demonstrative that a police- man had to be summoned to quiet them. During the meeting several committed petty annoyances, which prompted Mr. Robins to announce that those who did not like the meet- ing might retire. ‘I know the spirit of men. Those who want to listen will remain,” stated Mr. Robins. Eight or ten of th; gang left without having accom- plished their purpose, of ‘“starting something.” The Best Laxative. To keep the bowels regular the best laxative is outdoor exercise. Drink a full glass of water half an hour be- fore breakfast and eat an abundance of fruit and vegetables, also establish a regular habit and be sure that your bowels move once each day, Whep a medicine is needed take Chambe lain's Tablets, They are pleasant to take and mild an® gentle in effect.
