the cause of a lively scene in the lobby
of the above mentioned hostelry yes

previous, so the story goes, he visited
a saloon on Grant avenue and when
he was prepared to leave after several
hours of drinking the proprietor re-
minded him that he owed SIS so for
liquor.
Being without the necessary cash
and having enjoyed credit in the place
before, Spencer was permitted to de-
part without making a settlement.
Yesterday afternoon. however. the
saloon proprietor sent a tough looking
fellow, apparently a prizefghter. to
the Occidental Hotel TO interview the
young Hawaiian regarding his bar bill.
The collector persisted in annoying

The California Pumpkin.

The California pumpkin grows as
large as a girl and mighty sight
faster. A pumpkin will attain size
in one season for which girl requires
several years. 1t takes all the money
a Californian can get for pumpkins
to raise one girl Sometimes he can
get rid of the pumpkins much easier
than he can of the girl. Does this
prove that pumpkins are more valuable
than girls? To the superficial it
might seem so, but it all depends on
the girl. If she is pumpkin head"
she is no better, if as good as pump
kim A man will buy an attractive
looking pumpkin without thinking
once, while he will think twice before
taking a girl that weighs no more than
the gourd. 1t is true that you can't
make pies out of a girl, but the girl,
if she is the right kind, can make pies
out of the pumpkin. And there have
been known men who preferred girl
even to pie-pumpin pie at that. In
some respects, the pumpkin has the
better of the argument, but the cynic
who is disposed to press it too far
will be forced in the end to admit that
we might get along without pumpkins,
but we can't well get along without
girls.

NICE PLAN THIS.
Aldermen Propose 70 Bar All but
Home Union Workmen.

Holyoke, Mass, Sept. 17.-With
Holyoke municipal lawmakers are at
tempting resuscitation by official in.
tervention and legislative enactment.
1t is contemplated by aldermen and
others that only home union labor
shall be given employment on local
jobs. Last week contractors were
forced to withdraw outside workmen
and substitute Holyoke labor. Three
aldermen observed on a tour of in
spection several dark-skinned work
men welding pickaxe and shovel on
city work and learned that they were
not voters in Holyoke. The dark
skinned men had to go.
Serious consideration is now given
to municipal laws, requiring that
only Holyoke labor shall be en-
ployed on all local structures, wheth-
er public or private. There is a con-
viction among the aldermen active
ii, the new movement that a revival
in labor unionism will result The
dIuSi uiSH especially COHCSTu6u are
Michael ]. Kearns, chairman of the
democratic city committee; Leon w.
Bliss and Eugene Laramay.
Holyoke has been known as the
strongest organized labor town in
New England in proportion to popUla-
ton, and it is determined to restore
this reputation, which was lost large
ly through the demise of the paper
makers organization. This union
had a membership of 1000 and now
the charter alone remains.
With the labor ordinance proposed
in force city officials of all ranks
must show allegiance to some labor
organization, even if a union of mu-
nicipal employees has to be instituted
for the purpose.
The proposed ordinances shortly
viii be presented to the board of al
dermen. That the courts will at
once nullify it goes without saying.

ROOSEVELT NOT A CAESAR.

Terre Haute, Ind, Sept. 17.-"Ano
so this president of ours is a Caesar,
a dangerous man who wants to kill
you, both where you are and where
you amt exclaimed Speaker Cannon
in his discussion here last night OF
the record of President Roosevelt, in
connection with militarism, coast de,
lenses and increase of the navy.
Militarism he pronounced as a veri-
table DOGGY man. The president had,
he declared, done nothing worse in the
way of a Caesar than reduce the army
from 100, 900 to $4,000 and in view OF
the fact that this number gives only
about one soldier to each 81 400 people
in the country he did not consider the
outlook dangerous in that direction.
Il would like Mr.. Parker to rise in
his place and say whether, if he is
elected president, he will favor pol
icy that will dismantle the naty and
discontinue it's further construction
If he does the loyal and intelligent
people of our country will trample up
on him. If he does not mean to dc
that, what is he talking about extTava'

STATE OFFICER SUED FOR LIBEL
Manufacturers Want 100000 from
Commissioner Laid.

jamestown, N. D., Sept. 17.-An i'm
portant suit has been started in the
United States district court by tho
Association of Manufacturers and
Distributors of Food Products, whose
headquarters and principal Office are
i'll Camden, N. j., against +. B. Eadd
CT Fargo, pure food commissioner OF
the state. The suit is for libel. The
complaint has been forwarded and
will be in the hands of the officials to-
morrow. The object of the suit is
to recover damages for the puBlica-
ton by Professor Ladd of an article
which is alleged to have caused great
injury to the business of the plant
iff, and the sum asked for in the com
plant is 100000.
The article was published, it is as
serted, on November 81, 1908, in the
Commercial Bulletin and Northwest
Trade, published in the twin cities.
Ii is contended that it was false and
defamatory in that it alleged that the
members OF the association were I'M
able to sell longer in the northwest
ern states the class of products here
tcfore shipped to the markets of this
section.
Professor Ladd cited the names Of
officers of the above association, al
leging them to be the principal adul-
tcrators of food in the United States,
naming such firms as the Anderson
Preserving company, Joseph Camden
Preserving company of Camden, N.
j.; the Phillip j. Ritter Conserve
company of Philadelphia; George 4.
McMechan & Sons company, and the
West Virginia Preserving company.
The above firms. 1t was asserted,
were rarely found in the legal list,
hut frequently were among the list of
the manufacturers of artificial imita-
ton products, containing chemical
conservatives and coaltar dye.
The article also asserted that mem
bers of the association were putting
out money to over throw the food
laws Of North Dakota. The associa-
ton has employed Knauf & Knauf of
jamestown and is also represented
by counsel in Philadelphia.
