The following statement was made
last night by prominent mill treasurer
in reference to the Fall River, Mass,
cotton mills. The strike there involves
26, 600 men
"Unless the operatives agree to come
into the mills and work under the pro-
posed I2l per cent reduction, it is doubt
full if any attempt will be made by the
manufacturers 10 run the mills before
October"
In explaining this attitude the gentle
man quoted said the manufacturers have
found that to continue operations under
the old wage scale would mean a loss of
money. They prefer, therefore. to have
the mills closed than to have them run
ming at a loss. This is a sad condition
Of affairs and it would seem that little
reason exercised on both sides would
bring about solution of the trouble by
which so many are affected.

Mr.. TAGGART, of Indiana, the recent
" elected chairman of the national
democratic committee, began life as a
poor hoy, but by great exertions, atten-
ton to his own affairs and strict in
tegrity he has risen to prominence and
accumulated a considerable fortune.
When a boy he was employed in res
taurant, and in an attempt to belittle
him some of the republican papers are
now publishing cartoons of Mr.. Taggarf,
picturing him as waiter, a cook, &c.
These cartoons will act as boomerang
and have a contrary effect upon the
voters from that desired by the republic
cans. This is a country supposedly of
equal opportunities for all and special
privileges for none, and the fact that
Mr.. Taggart has risen from comparative
poverty to riches will win for him the
respect of thousands of voters and show
the possibilities of young men in
America.

CYRUS P. WALBRIDGE, of st. Louis,
was nominated for governor Of Missouri
last night by the republican convention
of that State. But Mr.. Walbridge has
no chance whatever of election. Many
leading republicans, in a spirit of banter
dared the democrats to nominate Mr..
Folk for governor, and declaring they
would support him should he receive the
nomination. Mr.. Folk. much to the re-
publicans' surprise, was nominated and
will surely be elected.

A THRILL of horror has been sent
through every law-abiding soul in the
civilized world by dispatches from st.
Petersburg announcing the assassination

realms he was practically the Car, and
it is asserted that he at times did not
hesitate to rebuke the Empress. 1t Is

Discordant Republicans.


The fight is on between the machine and
anti-machine factions of the republican
party in the Richmond district, and
the upshot of the fight will be two
district conventions and two candidate s
for Congress. There are already two
committees and two men claiming to be
district chairman, and these have Or
dered separate nominating conventions.
The auti-machine wing will hold its
convention in Richmond today, and
will probably name Edgar Allan, IT,.
for Congress. Their campaign slogan
will be that "Federal patronage shall
not be used as reward for political
crime"
The other wing headed by Marshal
Morgan Treat claims that it has the
regular organization with it, and has
declared war on the "outs." Their
committee met in Richmond Yesterday,
deposed NJ. IN. Williams as chairman,
reorganized the body by the election of
J. ID. Luce, bank clerk in that city
and resident OF GOochland county, as
chairman, and fixed West Point, the
home of Treat, as the place, and August
80 as the time for holding the district
convention. Mr.. Williams, however,
rented another hall, and was elected
district chairman.
Each convention will name candi-
date, will denounce the other wiag in
It's platform and will appeal to the
voters for Endorsement at the polls.
The fight is purely one to gain control
of the organization. The feeling be.
tween the two factions has grown very

owe HAVE reached the day when the
man who owns his home is looked upon
as a poor, harmless crank, and home
owning is considered fad, a luxury, a
folly, ora dissipation, which man must
be very rich to indulge in orvery feeble
minded to attempt" said Wade H.
Ellis, Attorney General of Ohio, in dis
cussing Taxation and the Home" be-
fore the national convention of the
League of Buildings Associations OF the
United States, at Sault Ste Marie, Mich,
Yesterday. His point was that, under
the unequal and oppressive system OF
taxation all over this country, the home,
standing in full view ofthe tax gatherers,
bears the burden of public expenses
while the investment in unseen, intang-
ible property, such as corporations, iran
chises, etc., escapes its share of taxation
Mr.. Ellis advocated the abolishmentofthe
uniform rule of taxation permitting the
classification of subjects oftaxation, be-
lieving that small rate OF taxation
would induce intangible property to come
out of hiding home rule in taxation, in
creasing of municipal revenues, by Sc
curing direct return for municipal priv
ileges enjoyed abolishing special as
sessments for public improvements !;
through the vehicle license compel the
man who wears out the streets to help
keep them in good condition, and exemp-
ton of the American home up to rea-
sonable amount from all forms of taxa
ton. While some of the Attorney Cen
erals theories might be controverted,
the fact is apparent that man who owns
a homeo of any sort of pretension IN many
places pays in taxes, insurance and wear
and tear almost as much as ordinary
rent. Should interest on the amount
invested be added it would doubtless
approximate a fair rental. Something
should be done to relieve such conditions.

Twice a week, on Mondays and
Thursdays. the army takes two score
or more children who do not often get
a days outing TO this spot. The army
has purchased d canvas-top camping

and returned again at night in good

donate refreshments. The luncheon
served is not elaborate, but consists OF
good substantial food
Already 200 children. who come from
the poorer classes of society, have
been given a pleasant days outing in
this manner. Not one accident has Oc-
CURED. and only once has a child had

was sent home because he swoTe. The

But these are the offspring OF fathers

SMOOT SAYS HE'S NOT A BOSS
Senator Writes Communication Denying That He Is Try

the Republican primaries in salt Lake
City, occasiOned much comment. not in
political circles alone. 1t follows in
full:
Provo City, Aug. ITO the Editor:
believe that my duty to the public
requires me to speak at this time on
q subject that is receiving much at
tentlon- From personal choice. I would
prefer TO remain quiet, and ignore the
volumes OF gross Misrepresentation ut
tered against me BY "a certain class of
the press of this state. but my duty to
the people must be given preference.
The people should know the truth. that
they may form their judgment thereon.
All through my life / have sought to
be open and candid, and to have my
actions recorded above board
a general election is approaching in
this state. Certain newspapers and
individuals are charging that am put
ting myself up as a boss, a political
dictator; that ] want TO be the whole
thing" that am trying to dictate the
personnel of the whole state ticket
from the governor down. These papers
and these individuals know well that
their charges are false. but they con-
tinue their methods just the same. Why
90 they persist in the falsehoods, if
not to divert attention from their own
course They say I ought to have no
preference for an Office-that the senior
senator from this state has none, but is
perfectly dumb on the question. Dumb
indeed Are his personal organs and
representatives dumb2 II is a fact that
every man Of prominence who veptures
10 have preference for a candidate
not approved by them is held up TO un-
mitigated TidiCule Misrepresentation
and abuse Who is it that by these
methods, seeks to be the absolute die
tatOr OF all? Let the people stop and
consider. There is no doubt in my mind
as to the reply Of all thinking men. The
people may be fooled for a time by the
claptrap of misstatement and false ac-

Have I d preference as to who should

Certainly, and I have not been afraid

and explicit manner. It IS the common

repeated so often.
L am also accused Of refusing to sup
port the present governor for renOmi-
nation because he opposed me for the
senate. That charge also is false. It
is true that the present governor is not
