Jeff Davis and some few of Il g strikers and heeIers are endeay- bring to make capital out of the fact that the railroads made a one and one-third fare to the Woods Clubs Convention held in Little Rock last Tuesday. Now when it Is considered that these same railroads made the same terms to the Davis State Convention last year and, 1t al. so Is the rule accorded to all sim liar meetings, the ridiculouSness tofthe charge is plainly apparent. ItiS a mere subterfuge of the Davis crew to prejudice the vot- CTS against Indge Wood.
The Monticellonian., 1904-03-10

It is just a little bit astonish- ing if the Davis people have tine world bv the tail with a down hill pull, as they claim and pro- tess to believe, that they are con stantly talking about what they will do if they are given fair count, &c. If they are in the saddle, why don't they do the counting themselves? The very fact that they are yelling fraud, now, in advance of the election, shows that they realize that the Wood men are in the majority and are going to win the elec. tion. In this country the ma jority generally run things, ev- en the elections.

Just why anybody, anywhere, should support Jeff Davis in preference to Judge Wood pass eS our comprehension; but when Drew county man talks Davis and opposes Wood, we are more than astonished A man who has lived the honorable, upright life which Judge Wood has. ought to receive the unanimous endorsement of his home people. 1 Judge Wood will be our next Governor and old Drew should be his banner county.

WILL NOT FIGHT
THE FEDERATION
STRUCTURAL BUILDING TRADES.
ALLIANCE EXPLAINED.
President Buchanan Declares Oppo-
sition to Proposed Organization Is
Due to misunderstanding Object,
He Says, Is to Prevent Unnecessary
and Badly Advised Tie-ups.

There appears to be considerable
opposition to the recently formed
Structural Building Trades alliance.
President Frank Buchanan of the
Bridge and Structural Iron Workers
International union, believes this is
due to misunderstanding as to the
purpose for which the body was or
ganized. He says:
"a mistaken idea about the
purpose Of the Structural Build
ing Trades alliance, which will
hold it's first convention at
Indianapolis, beginning Monday,
seems to prevail. Even officers Of the
American Federation Of Labor have
believed that the alliance is an or
ganization dual to the federation and
have urged that internationals refuse
to send delegates to the convention.
When the preliminary meeting was
held at Indianapolis every represen-
tative of an international body who
was present explained that the alli-
ance had no intention Of fighting the
American Federation Of Labor. Our
organization will send several dele
gates, and other building trades
II believe that this alliance Of the
building trades can accomplish much
good for the labor movement. It has
been planned to stop those petty diff
ferences between international unions
which often cause a tie-up in building
operations, and which have caused
many employers to look unfavorably
upon organized labor. T believe that
IS per cent Of the employers would
favor the organization when apprised
| of it's purpose.

WOULD LICENSE PLUMBERS
Ordinance Introduced in ST. Pau
Council.

An ordinance providing for
licensing plumbers has been intro
duced in the assembly branch of the
st. Paul city council by Assemb lyman
O'Brien and referred to the proper
committee. The ordinance is de-
signed "to prevent incompetent per-
sons from working as journeymen
plumbers, or conducting the business
of plumbing in the city Of ST. Paul.
and providing for a licensing board"
The proposed ordinance further
provides that all plumbing regula-
tons shall be in charge Of the city
engineer, and that no person, firm or
corporation shall engage in or work
at the business Of plumbing, either as
master or employing plumber,
without being licensed by the board.
The board Of examiners is to consist
of the city engineer, the city plumbing
inspector, one master and one jour-
neyman plumber, and the members
are to be paid at rate of IS a day
for time actually spent in conducting
examinations. A fee of So is to be
charged for examinations, and penal
ties are attached for violations of the
ordinance.
The proposed measure is similar in
many respects to a proposition sub
mitted to the charter commission last
winter by the journeymen plumbers of
st. Paul. za. ~.

Firemen Wearing Smoke Jackets.

. The latest thing in smoking jack
cts" is a diving-suit for firemen to
wear in burning buildings. The head
and entire body are protected and air
is furnished through a tube, just as
in a diving-suit. These suits are be-
ing made by regular diving engineers
and seem thoroughly practical. For
ordinary men, however, nothing COM
pares with golden grain belt beer as a
life-saver. 1t prevents breakdowns
and the lesser sicknesses that wear
men out and keep them from work.
To get the best results, use it regularly
at your home.

The first cabinet" meeting of the
governor and the State officers took
place last week in the governors Of
flee and lasted for over an hour.
Governor Nardaman made Il little
talk 10 the State officers, in which
he said that he hoped that they
would all feel free TO come TO him
at any time and discuss the needs Of
their departments. He said that he
wanted every State officer TO feel
free TO make any suggestions in the
meetings in regard to The good of
the State aud the best way to run
things smoothly and without fric-
Ton. The governor was of the opin-
ion that the meetings should be
held at least once a month and Of
tener if necessary. At the meeting
last week the needs of the different
Offices as to furniture was discussed
and the probable amount that would
be asked of the legislature for fur
nishing the building as it should be
furnished. No definite conclusion
was reached in regard TO the matter.
The State officers like the idea Of
holding these meetings and discuss
ing the needs of the State.

of the total sum, or SS33,333.33,
and this is almost sufficient to wipe
out the balance Of cash in the treas
ury. The funds will not commence
to 90 out, however, until the Janu-

ing at the treasury.

Fertilizer Sales Increase.

Fertilizer men announce tr6.
mendous increase in fertilizer sales
this season. The demand is so
heavy that plants are being taxed TO
their very utmost and are not able
to keep up with orders. Two rea-
sons are assigned for this large in
crease in sales by the fertilizer men.
They say that the high price Of cot
ton and scarcity Of the staple is
stimulating the cotton planters to
put every available piece Of
ground in cotton. They say also
that the farmers all have money and
recognize the great value of fertil-
izing their lands. If there is any
virtue in fertilizer the hill counties
of Mississippi will almost rival the
delta next season.

EXPLAINED BY FRANCIS.
President Francis of the Louisiana
Purchase Exposition Explains
the Proposed Loan.

Washington, Feb. 2-An extended
explanation of the proposed loan Of
Si,500,000 by the government to the
Louisiana Purchase Exposition Co,
was made, Monday, by David X. Fran
els, president of the company, to the
house committee on industrial arts
and expositions Mr. Francis was ac-
cOmpanied by a number OF officers of
the company. Preliminary to his
statement Chairman Tawney an.
nounced that the senate committee
had the matter under consideration
as an amendment to the urgent dell
cheney appropriation bill. II was pro-
posed to have this amendment intro
duced in the house in the form OF
bill. The hearing was, he said, to per
nit members to be informed as to
Just what the proposition was in the
event that favorable action is taken in
the senate. The amendment under
consideration in the senate committee
had been, he said, drawn with great
care. II provided for loan of $780,
600 to the exposition company.
Mr. Francis reviewed every feature
of the enterprise at length. In acre
age. he said, 1t eQualled the Chicago.
Buffalo and Paris eXpostions COM
bined Foreign governments had ap-
propriated a total of $7,5OO,OoO for
their buildings and exhibits. The states
and territories have appropriated all
aggregate of S7,000,000 He said the
estimate of $4,000 600 as the cost or
the exhibition had been found to be de-
cidedly too low. Chicago had expended
S22 ,000, 900 before opening the gates.
With the loan aow asked the exposi-
ton would, he said, represent an eX-
ponditure of sl9,60o,OO
The increased cost of labor as CON-
pared with this item of expenses at the
Chicago exposition, he said, amounted
to at least 25 PEI cent Labor was 5o
por cent. of the cost of the exposition
and this increase alone amounted TO az
least So 100000
