Simple as it is, it ’gives almost instant
relief and usually stops the most obsti-

due to the fact that it is slightly laxa-

excellent, tonic effect. It is pleasant to
take—children like it. An excellent rem«

GETS HEARING TODAY
G. Saunders^ is Charged With Ag-
gravated Assault.
By Associated Press.
Houston, Tex., Feb. 1.—W. G. Saun-
ders, who says he is a train dispatch-
er who has been working for the San-
ta Fe at Beaumont, will be given an
examining trial this afternoon on a
charge of aggravated assault. It is
alleged that Saunders entered the
•home of Mrs. R. B. Norman unan-
nounced, walked to the stirs, called
Grand Opera-House.
Just another of those farces, written
for laughing purposes only, is “Over
Night,” which was presented at the
Grand yesterday afternoon and last
night. Incidentally it Accomplishes its
purpose and pleases an audience im-
mensely. There isn’t much about it to
member, except that it produced laugh-
ter, and that is sufficient justification
for its existence. The story- deals with
the adventures of two honeymoon
couples, one of them composed of a
nice little man and a big suffragette,
and the other a big husky man and a
clinging little girl, who get mixed on
a Hudson river steamer and spend the
night at a little hotel above Pough-
keepsie. The situations are ludicrous
to a degree and the dialogue is bright
and breezy. Of course each of the
newly-married folks is finally restored
to the other and the single young
man in the story wins the girl he
loves, making the climax entirely sat-
isfying to all concerned.
The company presenting “Over
Night” is fully up to all requirements

Special to The Tribune.
Austin, Feb. 1.—Out of the 374 new
patients received during the past fiscal
year ending August 31, 1911, at the
North Texas instane asylum at Ter-
rell, according to the annual report
of Mr. George F. Powell, superintend-
ent of the institution, just submitted
to the governor, only eight were vic-
tims of alcohol, or 4.61 per cent. Touch-
ing on this feature, Dr. Powell says:
“This does not justify the claims of
some that alcohol is responsible for
nearly all of the mental diseases.”
During the past fiscal year there
has been an increase of 17 patients
at the asylum, the number on Sep-
tember 1, 1910, being 2110, of which
279 were out on furlough, while the
number one year later reached 2127,
of which 278 were out on furlough.
Superintendent Powell reports that
the institution as-a whole is sadly in
need of repairs; that the roof on ward
No. 1 where 300 people are kept, is
falling in. He recommends that the
next legislature make an appropria-
tion for the employment of an archi-
tect to make a thorough investigation
of the improvements needed to bring
the institution in a good sanitary con-
dition and improve the buildings. No
cause was assigned for 199 of the new
patients received, while there were
61 wherein the cause of insanity was
found due to hereditary influences; 34
cases were due to old age.
During the past yeai’ a sewage dis-
posal plant was constructed at a cost
of $5630, while the entire expenditure
for the fiscal year amounted to $277,-
599.58.

“The Spring Maid.”
St. Paul Pioneer Press has the
following to say of “The Spring Maid,”
which comes to the Grand tonight and
tomorrow matinee and night:
A score of real beauty; a libretto
absolutely spotless so far as innuendo
or vulgarity are concerned; an intelli-
gent, well-dressed chorus; charming
stage settings, and a little star that
twinkles with dazzling brightness__
these are the elements that go to
make “The Spring Maid,” which , opened

Mr. Samuel Gompers, Pres., American Federation of Labor,
Washington, D C.
Dear Sir:—
Press reports indicate that you are greatly depressed and harassed by fear
and the disrepute brought on your' Federation.
/ The quefy has arisen whether you are big enough to sense the movement
of a great Power which guides humanity, and to conclude that the time has
arrived when Labor ’ should be honestly represented instead of misrepresented.
If the thought of truthful and earnest effort has come, and you honestly
desire better conditions for the wage earners, may I tender to you an invitation
to come out to Battle Creek for a conference with the President of the Trades
and Workers’ Association, Mr. J. W. Bryce ?
y°u wiI1 Permit it, your expenses will be paid from the time you leave
Washington until you return.
You will be put up at the Sanitarium for a week or ten days’ rest and
freedom from worry, as a guest, either of the Association or of myself as
you prefer. . ’
Y hen lested, alet us consider the new movement for the workingmen of
America, enlisted under the banner of the-National Trades and Workers Asso-
ciation, free from strikes, slugging, picketing, tyranny, fines, dynamiting and
murder. • , °
Belonging to the American Federation of Labor are hundreds of thousands
of self-iespecting and law-abiding workingmen who are members under pressure,
and who deplore the tactics you and your associates have employed and forced
upon them.
They want steady employment fifty-two weeks in the year and do not
relish being forced by strikes into, idleness pending the “negotiations” between
crooked labor leaders seeking bribes^ and crooked employers who hire said
leaders to call strikes on competitive jobs, thus making the workingmen tools
kept idle while the chiefs scrap for control or bribe money.
You will perhaps reject this proposal, believing that strikes are a necessary
weapon to preserve the rights of workingmen. But the new wav has been in
. very successful operation over two years and found to have more power than
the old way. . 1
. ,.r'1e Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, The National Asso-
ciation of Stationary Engineers and the National Trades and Workers Associa-
tion perfect trade agreements without strikes, secure the highest wages and
yet preserve the respect and esteem of employers and of the members themselves.
vVoikmgmen are aroused to resentment from being forced to contribute
from their hard earned pay envelopes to defend known sluggers and murderers,
and to being heavily fined for not obeying the orders of leaders when they
know those leaders are simply using them to insure complete dominion over
the daily lives of the American workingman
k .??a*nfcai” J1’8 position as an honest, peaceful citizen and not to
DC ioiced to affilitite with and support (thugs and murderers.
Peisonally, I have only sincere and open denunciation for the past methods
of you and your associates. Nevertheless, if you are ready to join in an earnest
and truthful step forward for your members and will accept this invitation in
the spirit in which it is given, you will be most welcome, and will be treated
with the greatest consideration we are capable of, and in addition I will aoree
to contribute a quarter of a million dollars in cash to the new movement.
. The Trades and Workers now have a splendid $400,000.00 home to care for
their indigent members, and with the addition of the members of the American
Federation of Labor and its endowment we can merit the support of the public
all working for the new day of peace with honor in the industrial field.
Yours very truly,
C. W. POST.
No reply has been received. It seems evident the present
Leaders will not accept any offer of industrial peace which takes
from them the fees, control of workmen, and curbs their trust
methods.
When any combination either of Capital or Labor goes out-
side of its own business and attemots to oppress, tyrannize, or
forcibly dictate to others and thereby “restrains trade” it becomes
dangerous and should be prosecuted.
Talk about restraint of trade!
All the capital trusts in this country couldn’t bring about a
minus fraction of the loss, inconvenience, misery and crime set ip
motion by strike conspirators.
The time has come when every home-owning patriotic citizen
should speak in most unmistakable terms, if liberty is to be pre-
served.
Write President Taft asking when he will apply the law to the
Labor Trust as well as the Capital Trusts.
Then write your members of Congress, telling them clearly
that you will expect them to protect yourself and other common,
everyday citizens by voting down the bills these Labor Trust leaders
are pressing to give them more control.
One is a bill to prevent courts from issuing restraining orders
to stop proposed acts of violence in strikes. Another is to allow
labor leaders to restrain trade without being subject to the law.
You are one of a tiemendous majority but you must tell your
public officials your needs. Then they can act in your defense.’
Then question candidates and don’t accept any equivocal
American Federation of Labor, points toward a diabolically adroit
plan to secure to those leaders complete control over their own
members who dare not protest, and also over all other workmen,
legislators, congressmen, merchants and the balance of citizens.
Think it over and you will see in part what the tyranny would
be if they were permitted to completely carry out their plans.
Now that the facts are known the people can protect themselves
by refusing to do any act that would add power to this aggregation.'
Remember, any act.
When their grip on the throat of honest labor is broken, work-
ingmen can either select better leaders, or join some of the law-
abiding trade organizations.
Then the lash of the slave driver came forth. Orders to strike;
I what to buy; what not to buy; how to vote; when to parade (to
I show power) ; and to contribute from ]the hard-earned pay en-
yelope for strike benefits to other men forced into idleness pending
■ negotiations between crooked leaders (?) and crooked employers
H who hire said leaders, to call strikes on competitive jobs, thus mak-
■ ing the workmen tools, kept idle while the chiefs scrap for control
■ bribe money.
■ > One of the hardest strokes of the lash is the money forced from
BtJnembers to defend dynamiters, sluggers and murderers when
■ ^raught. s '
F * But let an honest workman, who, perchance, has been driven
| into “the union,” dare to disobey one of these “orders” and he is
■ taught a lesson through the slugging or dynamiting committees.
I x The slavery of the honest American workingman is pitiable
I when “closed shop” full control is obtained by the tyrannical
I leaders.
I Now, observe the plan of this gang to govern men and affairs.
I t “Organize” every trade. Insist on closed shop. Then use the
I power of numbers to induce government officials to permit organ-
I izing all government employes. .Some of the oaths defining that
I the union rules shall “precede Church, State and Family.”
■ * Then force Congressmen to pass anti-injunction laws to pre-
■ vent courts from stopping proposed outrages.
I Force merchants to hire only “union” clerks and sell only
I ‘‘label” goods. Use union funds to support slugging and dynamit-
l ihg crews to drive back the protesting ones or “remove” them.
■ Of course, in carrying out the plan for complete control by th
■ gang, some were caught.
B | Whenever openly exposed the men “higher up” immediately
I 1 begin to assess members to protect the criminals and always rush
I 1 into print with loud cries .and much mock sentiment about “the
| i brotherhood of man” and the “defense of the wage worker,” with
I / qjuch play upon the sympathy of the people they cover their own
| greed for fees and insane desire to read their names in the papers.
I | q It would be hard to convince the widows of the twenty-one
I murdered men in the Los Angeles tragedy, and hundreds of others,
I ) that their husbands received much benefit from "the defense of the
I f wage worker, nor could they well understand such working of
I ) (jhat particular brand, of the “brotherhood of man” scheme.
I Late events have stripped the lamb's coat from the body of the
k- wolf and shown most clearly the lying deceit and horrible portent
■ underneath, which I have tried time and again to explain to the
■‘public.
Men who preferred to work and support their families have
■een waylaid. Fingers chopped off, with the comforting assurance

Then question candidates and

Insist that trade organizations can be peacefully conducted and
that no laws be enacted giving leaders arbitrary control over the
masses.
A few of the facts aie now known and have been proven true.
Many more will follow as the government investigation proceeds.
Will you be patriotic and painstaking enough to write, talk and
vote for your own safety?

on this subject is done.
to destroy all organization' of labor.
This is in line with his regular habit of distorting facts. I have
for a long time been a member of the National Association of Sta-
tionary Engineers and the National Trades and Workers Associa-
tion. These are non-strike and peaceful organizations which nego-
tiate their trade agreements legally, with peace and honor.
I have given to the Trades, and Workers Association a
$400,000.00 home for their old members in furtherance of an honest
desire to help solve this most important industrial question.
In addition, I have offered to contribute a quarter of a million
dollars cash to help along a workingman’s movement, as defined in
a letter sent Mr. Gompers Dec. nth, 1911. Copy herewith.

Crystal Vaudeville.
Today’s matinee marked the open-
ing of a new bill at the Crystal vaude-
ville. Manager Jorgensen has secured
four acts for the remainder of the
week that should prove popular with
both old and young.
Perhaps the headliner is De Bales-
trier’s Bears. This act includes four
baby bears, each weighing about forty
pounds. They are introduced, by two
trainers,—a man and a woman. During
the act the bears show almost human
intelligence. They skate on rollers,
ride bicycles, do somersaults, walk
tight wires and do other interesting
stunts. This act will appeal espe-
cially to children.
R’lves is included in the bill. She
is heralded as one of the greatest toe.

of this act is especially elaborate' and
should appeal to the women.
Ina Lehr and company are to be seen
in their big singing and talking com-
ery success, “Cupid’s Triumphs.” This
act comes with a string of good rec-
ommendations.
The fourth act on the bill is Be arid

tortion act.

fast in the French comedy melodrama,
“The Shadyw of the Guillotine,” the
