* INFORMERS DETESTED.
liven When Telling the Truth They
Are Universally Disliked.
Ou<? of the lawyers employed to de¬
fend the accused workers out iu
T.os Angeles show, the delicacy of his
.sensibilities by ref i s ing ro have uny-
thing to do with Manigal. “1 wiL
handle no informer's matters for him,”
this lawyer is quoted •<-, saying. “The
Other attorneys c do what they
will."
This lawyer (f not explain
(Whether his horror of McManiga! is
based on the conv. fiori that the in¬
former is lying or on the general p-i»-
eiple that an effort to save one's guilty
pelf from deserved punishment by the
betrayal of one's associates iu crime
i.s the culmination of human baseness.
Apparently he ignores the possibility
that the informer may be what Or¬
chard claimed to be-a man who has
repented of his evil deeds and has de¬
termined. regardless of consequence-
<0 himself, to do what he can to serve
society by telling the whole truth
We do not under-' nd that Mt-Mrfn-
iga 1 makes any such claim or that
anybody makes i in his behalf, but
that may come later. And it cannot
be denied, or at least shouldn’t be,
that the informer does sometimes have
a theoretically adequate excuse for be¬
traying his accomplices and does oc¬
casionally perform real public serv¬
ices. There must be some good rea-
tion. however, for the instinctive detes¬
tation of the informer which we all
feel, even when he tells the truth—a
feeling out of which we find it im¬
possible to argue ourselves. His act
tnay be beneficial in the abstract, but
ills motive is either obviously hideous
or widely open to the suspicion of be¬
ing so, and be can never prove it high
or disinterested, even when the chance
it be so exists.
The fact is that the world has decid¬
ed that it could get along well enough
without the assistance of informers,
and it makes use of' them with reluc¬
tance and nausea. Even honest detec¬
tives suffer in reputation and esteem
because of the betraying of confidence
they have to do in the course of their
business, and that In spite of the
unanimous admission of moralists that
good faith need not be observed to¬
ward public enemies when it endan¬
gers public safety.
As for McManigal, it is only fair to
assume that the suddenly changed at¬
titude of union labor toward him is
due to a belief that he is lying, not to
the fear that he is telling the truth.—

LABOR IN VERMONT.
Progrosiiv* Law* Passed by Aid of
.
Trade Unionists.
That the trade unionists of the conn-
try are becoming alive to the influence
which they can assert along legislative
Hues is illustrated by the accomplish¬
ments of the Vermont state branch of
the American Federation of Labor. It
Js not an easy task to initiate new
legislation into the legislatures of the
older and more "sedate" states, for
countries long settled do not change
in opinions or methods rapidly. The
ofHcials of the stute branch, therefore,
are entitled to much credit for the ex-
cellent results accomplished during the
Inst session of the Vermont legislature.
The sum total gained can best be told
1n the languuge of Alexander Ironside,
secretary of the state organization:
"As a result of organized effort there
were enacted an employers’ liability
bill, a voluntary compensation plan
on lines adopted In New York state.
a valuable amendment to the child la-
l*or law, making It the best law in
New England, and a bill to amend the
state constitution, giving the voters the
right to say whether compulsory com-
pensation should be legalized. We
were also successful in defeating a bill
designed to establish compulsory ar¬
bitration. We are well pleased with
the fruits of the session."
A Pl.a For Union*.
'If Christ were here today he would
pul emphasis on the support of union
labor iu its work for the betterment
of the working people,” said the Rev.
Henry A. Atkinson, secretary of the
Congregational brotherhood, at a recent
meeting of the Congregational Minis¬
ters’ union iu Chicago. ‘There is
nothing in common between the
church and these unions, but we can
cooperate with them in securing bet¬
ter eoudtUons for working people, sani¬
tation, shorter hours and better en¬
vironments. labor unions are not
organized for strike purposes, but to
protect and beoeflt working men. worn
en and children. Let us give such sup¬
port to them as we can. and give
freely."

The Federation’s Growth.
“May 1, 1911, finds the eight hour
dny established iu many places where
It has never been known before," said
K^-etary Morrison of the Amerieatt
of Labor, "and the organi-
affiliated with the federation
hi\iq‘ increased their membership by
2014.000 in the last twelve mouths.
There are more than 1.800,000 paying

Stubborn Case
"1 w« under the treatment of two doctors,’* writes
A$f*. R. L Phillips, of Indian Valley, Va., "and they pro¬
nounced my case a very stubborn one, of womanly weak¬
ness. I was not able to sit up, when I commenced to
take Cardui.
1 used it about one week, before I saw much change.
Now, the severe pain, that had been in my side foryc^rs,
has gone, and 1 don’t suffer at all. I am feeling better than
in a long time, and cannot speak too highly of Cardui.”
CARDUI WomansTonic
if you are one of those ailing women who suffer from any
of the troubles so common to women.
Cardui is a builder of womanly strength. Composed
of purely vegetable ingredients, it acts quickly on the
womanly system, building up womanly strength, toning up
the womanly nerves, and regulating the womanly system.
j Cardui has been in su ijxessful use for more than 50 years.
Thousands of ladies have written to tell of the benefit they
I received from it. Try it for your troubles. Begin today.
