Cattle Seized BY inspectors.

Relative to the arrest of l.. A. Hut
ana others in Huerfano county for the
alleged stealing of cattle. says the
Denver Republican of September 25th.
Secretary Edwin McCrillis of the State
Stock Inspection Board said yesterday
that the board had stopped carload
of cattle on Monday which had been
shipped into Denver from that coun-
ty.

ancc of the man with the cattle" said
MIR. McCriilis. mot that we thought he
was a cattle thief, but he could not
give any satisfactory account as to
how he came into possession OF the
animals. and for that reason we de-
cided IL best to hold the cattle. They
were sold to Denver firm and the
money resulting from the sale has been
deposited with the state board. when
the proper owners for the cattle are
found we shall turn the money over to
them. | know nothing about the mat

This case shows clearly the use OF the

some of whom believe the laws have
been a trifie too stringent in some re-

imals in his possession when the board
got hold of them, is now on trial in
Glenwood Springs charged with rus
Ting cattle. | do not know how this
case will come out, but at any rate II
will show the use of the strict inspec-
tion laws and the state board.
Mr.. McCrillis stated further that the
members of the board were making
every effort to secure evidence con-
cerning a number of cases of cattle
rustling over the state. The state
board is determined to protect
the cattle owners of the state against
cattle thieves. The board has its In
spectors everywhere in the state. and
unless a man can show bills of sale
for the cattle which he has in his pos
session or other good evidence of his
right and title. the stock will be taken
from him until he can prove proper
ownership Most of the cattle buyers
who ship mixed brands of cattle and
often do not have bills of sale, are
known to the stock inspectors.

School Fund Decision.

Mrs. Helen Grenfell, state superin-
tendent OF public instruction. has an
swered the letter of c. F. Hagar. Sec
retary of the state board OF charities
and correction. relative to the claim
which Mr.. Hagar has made on the
general funds Of the state for the ben
eft of the children confined in the va
rious state Institutions Mrs. Grenfell
stated in her letter to Mr.. Hagar that
1t was her opinion that those confined
in state institutions were not entitled
to any part of the general school fund.
She claimed that the children In these
homes are not properly school children
and for this reason the institutions
should have no aid from the general
school fund
Mrs Grenfel gave out the following
statement Of the case:

Actors Sanitarium.

Denver is to be the home, It Is
claimed, of the only purely charitable
institution exclusively for consump-
tives in the world. The Bell Santa
rum for Consumptive Actors is the
name of the new incorporation. which
went into effect September 3. l9O3
The incorporators who made appli-
cation on that date with the secretary
of state at Denver were Robert E.
Bell. Peter McCourt and Horace
Phelps.
The first meeting of the board of
directors was held September 18th
and the entire board was present. as
follows: c. NJ Van Law. who was
elected chairman: Robert f. Bell, sec
retary; pr Robert Levy, Abbey r.
Pelton and Edward S. Irish.
The headquarters have been moved
from New York to Denver. permanent
ly. No site for the building has been
decided upon and nothing will be done
upon the purchase of one until suff-
cient money to build such an institu-
tion and run it for one year has been
secured and in the treasury.
This amount Mr.. Bell Is hopeful Of
raising in the next six Upnths. The
board will appoint representatives in
every large city to give benefits to
raise the funds needed. These repre-
sentatives will, in all proba bility, be
members of the order OF Elks.

Last Weeks North Carolina Crop
Bulletin,

Early planted cotton is being chop
ped out, and this work is nearly COM
pleted in the south portion; much
cotton is not yet up, and it is feared
that seeds have started to germin-
ate and have subsequently persisted
in the hot, dry soil; planting is not
finished, and necessarily stands are
poor; the growth of cotton that is up
has been slow, and in some sections
plants are dying. Corn is in some
what better condition, early planted
and we'll cultivated fields are doing
very well, though suffering for mois-
ture; late planted is irregular, much
is not up, and considerable replanting
must still be done; worms are doing
some injury; growth of corn is also
slow. Tobacco could not be trans
planted this week except by watering,
and very little of that work was done.
Early transplanted tobacco has a
fair stand, but many plants are but
toning low, and the drought has
caused some plants to run up to seed.
Wheat and winter oats will give a
fair yield in many counties, in 9TH
ers both crops are nearly a failure;
spring oats are d~eteriorating rapid
ly; cereals are now in bloom, but
heads cannot fill well without more
moisture. Digging and shipping
Irish potatoes are underway in the
east, with short yield of fair quality;
in the west potatoes are up and being
injured by the Colorado beetle; sweet
potato slips are not growing we'll.
Pastures are becoming parched;
gardens are suffering and the out
look for fruit is less promising.

Cheap Labor and Efficient Labor.

it is a fact that most of the men were
looking for a chance to boss a job,
and very few of them, were looking
for a job. They didn't so much wish
to work themselves as they wished
to hire somebody else to work. Some
how, everybody took the point of
view of the employer. Men who had
nothing to do talked about the adj
vantages of cheap labor. [ was
among them. Although I had learn
ed a trade and was looking for a job
myself, I spoke in long sentences to
those New Englanders about the
cheapness of labor! While [ was
straving for lack of decent pay for
my own work, / was bOasting about
the lowness of wages. For l was SO
i'll paid at my trade that couldn't
make a living. Wages were too low.
I wept and went away and ceased to
think of myself as a boss. | took an
honest job wherever [ could get it.
have kept at work at the same trade
ever since; but although I also am an
employer of labor, some of it very
skillful labor, [ am not any longer
in favor of low wages any more than
the old Vermonter was in favor of
them.
"The boss habit of mind has played
havoc with many a man here during
these twenty years; and the men in
Raleigh and about here who were ac-
tually doing good work then are the
men who are now dominant-in the
community. The old bosses are near
ly all dead or-forgetten. The
young fellows who were then seek
ing jobs at good trades = as
bankers, some as builders, some as
teachers, some as manufacturers
these are the men who are your fore
most citizens to-day.
"The history of Raleigh-its COM
mercial, financial and social history
these twenty years proves this
truth as clearly as the growing corn
proves the presence of summer. This
is a conservative city, an old city,
not a city of rapid changes. Yet in
only twenty years it has so complete
ly changed in the personal relations
of its citizens, in the relative import
ance of it's families, in the nature of
it's industries, that an old resident
must get all his bearings anew. And
most of the changes, so far as |
know them, admirably illustrate the
text of my sermon, which you will
find written in the history of most
families in North Carolina-that the
man who does the job gets the wages
and the man who couldn't do the job
couldn't boss it long and he has got
nothing.
Gas a working craftsman myself,
/ congratulate the Commonwealth
that its chief aim is now become the
training of men to work. You hear
nothing about the dead old doctrine
that cheap wages are. desirable; for
the gospel now preached to you is
the advantage of good workmanship.
