IN recognition of a declaration Of
the last State platform of the Demo-
cratic party, the general assembly has
provided for the regulation and in
spection of the mines of the State, thus
insuring. so far as may be, the protee-
tion of those employed therein. We
indorse this legislation and congratu-
late both the owners and workmen
engaged in this important industry
upon the improved conditions which
have resulted and the freedom from
the unfortunate loss of life which for
merly was common. And in this con-
nection we commend, especially, the
courag geous and yet conservative and
conciliatory course pursued by Gov.
the labor trouble at Coal Creek. By
his just and firm course of action he
commanded the respect of both sides
to this controversy and successfully
avested what threatened to be an un-
fortunate and expensive dispute.
I'VE indorse the enactment by the
measure known as the Adams law.
and We oppose its repeal
We favor liberal pensions to the
Confederate soldiers, and also favor the
proper maintenance OF the Confederate
home. In our days of prosperity we

We indorse recent legislation which
seeks to protect the farmers of the
State in the inspection and sale of
fertilizers and phosphates. and we ia
all such further legislation as may
conduce to the protection and advance
ment of our agricultural interests.
I'VE further favor all needed gen.
eral legislation for the protection OF
birds. game and fish.
I'VE favor the rigid enforcement OF
the child labor law as already enacted
and as indorsed by the last State DEM

Il wish you would get after them

got so very filthy that we cannot sit

count of the vile odor that arises
from the ditch. The ditch should be
flushed and this would greatly re
lieve the conditions. Unless imme-
date attention is given in cleaning
this ditch there is going to be dis
ease caused from it. The big ditch
Inc turns east at our premises here
has recently been cleaned and is in

The above was the statement
made to the Record representative
by Mrs. j. A. Foreman who lives on
Fifth street at the Richards hotel.
The ditch that she referred to is the
one that runs east on the north side
of the court house yard, and joins
the big ditch at the Richards hotel
The Record endorses every word
hat Mrs. Foreman said on the sub
ject. The ditch should be thoroughly
cleaned and afterwards flushed and
this should be done at once.
