Trouble For Saloon Men.

Down in Dnnklin county the county
court demands that saloon petitions
must contain the signatures of two
thirds of the qualified signcrs. Public
sentiment is going against the saloon
down in Dunkliu.
Down in Mississippi county the ~
loon men seem TO be up against il
also. The "dscascn seem To bc
spreading all sround.
But the saloon men are themselves
responsible for the revolt against ihcir
traffic.
In most communities there is nc
serious objection TO a well regulated
saloon.
The law presumes that the resident
taxpayers have it in their power to
say wcther or not saloon may operate
in their midst.
But sometimes the keepers get de-
fiant and propose to run the c0mmun-
ity.
1t is then that public sentiment is
sure to be aroused and cause them
trouble.
The Sikeston Democrat says that
under the two.thirds rule there is not
O town in the southeast where saloon
license could be obtained.
Perhaps not. In Scott county tho
court asks only majority. But there
should be no question about that ma
jorlty Scott Country Kicker.

disposition to ignore the S.hour
law and force men to work at the
wages he is pleased to give,
Mr.. Schoefeld says in his pub
lished statement, THE company
is willing to put the men on an
S.hour basis at Shour pay. The
company is ready and willing to
operate at any time that men to
operate the plant can be secured. "
The answers of the miners is, they
offered to do the work for less pay
on 8-hour shifts. Geo. Able. the
captain, said he knew their demand
was reasonable, but he was not
fighting the men or their petitions,
but the company was opposed to
the d eight hour move"
One of Mr.. SchOfeld's most
glaring statements is to the effect
that the Union caused the tiremcn
to come out and was intimidating
union and non-union men. The
Union had taken no cognizance OF
things until nearly week later,
and, of course was not and could
not intimidate nor drive off EN-
ployes desiring to work. The
fact is all the working men thought
the striking firemen were right, and
they refused to work, because it
was "scabbing' or taking some
mans job who needed work and
who had right to say what that
work was worth,
Mr.. Scofield tells the public that
he is ready to run the mill when
be can get the men to do the work
but over his own signature in his
ultimg.um to his own men he says,
he has closed down indefinitely and
has no need of men. He uses this
as an excuse for not treating with
his employees inIan effort to arbi
trate difficulties.

SENATOR C0CKRELL OBJECTS
To Having the Bronze Statue Of Lib,

Painted White

Says n Republic Washington
special The seventeen foot bronze
statue of Liberty surmoumtluG the

painted white, ut least not at the
present. Senator Cnckrr'l has
ideas of his own, aud it was Il pro-
test on his part that stopped the
painting.
When Congress adjourned prep
arations were made to give Liberty
coat of white lead to remove the
weather stains. Srailoldiug was
built and workmen, who knew
nothing of art, except as applied
with n whltewash brush, began
the job.
Senator Cockrell goes to the
Capitol most every day, and, mo-
ticing the scaiTold, he asked:
What are they doing up thrrc!' ~
Painting the statue, was the
laconic answer of II policeman.

the Senator, That beautiful

workmrn so high up paid no herd
to him. The Senator went in aud

demanded that the work he stop

It's a shame to ruin that statue
with white paint, he declared.
If it is not stopped Immediately
I'll make somebody suffer for it
when Congress meets again.
Orders were at once issued for
the work to stop.
Don't let those fellows white.

ator Cockrell cautioned as he lett
the Capitol.
Age stains sometimes are good
things for our public buildings,
Senator Cockrell believes. aud it
looks as though somebody will
have to climb up and use n barrel
or two of turpentine in removing
the white paint from Liberty.

WHAT THE LEAD MINERS

{ The only companies which have

the Interpretation of the wording

Miners Union contends that the
words, 'smelting, refining or re-

Democrats and Republicans alike
have always denounced the English
policy Of the opium monopoly in
India and the opening of the
Chinese Empire to the opium
trade, but our present administra
ton appears to now approve it, for
even worse opium system is to
be forced in the Philippines. The
exclusive right to run opium joints
in those islands is to be sold at
auction, n law for that purpose
having been prepared, and is now
before the Philippine Commission.
This bill is coated so that the
American people will be able to
swallow it. In order TO prepare
the American public for the pro-
posal, the War Department lately
has been giving ont vague infor-
nation to the correspondents
about new opium laws designed to
restrict the use of opium" and
that the money derived therefrom
was to be used for educating young
Filipinos in American schools, as
prospective teachers for the is
lands.
A strong protest has been made
to President Roosevelt to stop the
iniquitous traffic or at least NOT
make this government a party 70
it by participating in the proceeds.
The nefarions plan seems to be a
pet measure of the Secretary OF
War, and it is feared that the in
tluence he exerts over the Presi.
dent will more than Offset the pro.
tests that have been made.
