The 80.000 Illi nois miners, thru representatives in session here Saturday, gave unquali fied support of State President Alex ander Howtft, of Kansas, when he an nounced a program for the launching jot a general miners' strike In Kansas In defiance of state laws there which are said- to now prohibit strikes of any pature. Howat was one of the leaders of the !oal miners recently cited for con empt by Federal Judge Anderson at ndianapolis. The action of the lUinois miners' convention came after a lengthy ad dress by Howat, in which he reviewed the general strike conditions last fall and told of how the Kansas legislature was called together and the industrial relations court was established. "The law calls for imprisonment of two years and a fine of $5,000 for any one who participates in or calls a strike," Howat said, "but come what will, whether or not my bones rot in a prison cell, I am going to fight this law with the forces of 12,000 miners in Kansas and regardless of conse quences give Governor Allien cause to remember that organized labor must and will have the right to cease work at its will. , "Be the consequences what they may there Is no power on earth, in junction or otherwise, that will make me call off this strike. This strike will be called by me in the near future. "Kansas suffered a four-year strike beiore representatives ot organized la bor won recognition and this fight is to do repeated soon, repeated solely because the right of free men to cease How Roosevelt Overcame Difficulties THE qualities that made Roosevelt successful were apparent in him while he was still a little boy. These qualities were developed, year by year, through intelligent direction. The Colonel's father was largely re sponsible for the great American's remarkable career his example taught the boy self-assertion, self-reliance, personal independence and integrity. This month's Cosmopolitan publishes a startling analysis of Roosevelf s character by toctor X and related by Harvey O'Higgins in "Yourself and You." He tells of the boyhood incident that prompted Roosevelt to learn how to box. Why the Colonel went into politics. Why Roosevelt was a poor judge of men. Why he was called "Teddy" and why he liked his nickname. There's a wealth of new light on Roosevelt in this new article. ' There are valuable suggestions as to how you may yourself use the same theory Roosevelt employed to overcome apparently insurmountable diffi . culties and, better still, how you may help your son to grow up to be '. the kind of a man you want him to be. Get the new Cosmopolitan today and read the conclusions reached by Doctor X in his study of the life of one of the greatest Americans. Edna Wasn't the Least Bit Shocked B' lUT how she shocked the folks at home with her letters from Somewhere-in- France! As Rupert Hughes says in "The Split," his short-story in the latest Cosmo politan: "What Edna did to the war is not worth mentioning, but what the war did to Edna !"The pastor read Edna's first letter right out in church.butthe second letter and the third well, youll have to read the story to find out what shocked the Carthage folks. "You Can't Please Everyone" THIS is an amusing story by Frank R. Adams of the "today" thatyou worried about yesterday and that never happened. Conover Collier was going through life chained to the fear that he might lose his job or his sweetheart or his savings account. Then, when it looked like he had lost all three, he was surprised to discover that "it might have been worse," as inveterate optimists are in the habit of saying.
