taken Mt their word three years ago,
but JACKSON HAS PROVEN THAT
HE is NOT WORTHY OF THE CON-
FIDENCE OF THE PEOPLE
WHILE FORDYCE HAS AN HON
ORABLE RECORD.
That is the reason the people, to-
day, r urged to turn down jack
son and send Fordyce in his place.
But the Citizen has given a very
good reason for substituting a wor-
thy servant for an unworthy one.
Continuing, il says:
'Strong wants jackson. Fordyce
and US want Fordyce. Elect him and
you defeat Strong. Why defeat
Strong? Because he doesn't favor
Fordyce. The intelligent thinking
man secs through such n thin veil.
The personal" question is upper
most in this fight. Broad minded
men look beyond personalities, and
prefer to contend for principles.
Without better arguments and
stronger reason for substituting MIR.
Fordycc for Mr.. Strong than are yet
given, we strongly incline to the idea
that Mr.. Strong and his assistants
will remain in business at the same
old stand while Mr.. Fordycc looks on
and exhibits II disappointed frown
for some time"
This is good reasoning. "STRONG
WANTS JACKSON" OF course he
does, because he will obey orders.
"Fordyce and us want Fordyce."
That is right, too. US can mean no.

people want Fordycc because he DE
FIES THE BOSSES.

"Why defeat Strong? Because he
doesn't want Fordyce." That is eX-
actly right. 1t might further he
asked: "WHY DOESN'T STRONG

is the personal" question upper
most in this fight? OF course it is.
The personality of Dory Strong shines
out above everything else.
1T Is BECAUSE DORY STRONG
rs so "PERSONAL" IN THE Az
FAIRS OF THIS COUNTY THAT
THE FIGHT is BEING WAGED.
Fordyce wants to go to the state
senate, but he wants to serve the peO-
pie, not the corporations. Boss
Strong knows he cannot control him,
therefore he is fighting him. II is
for the people to show Dory Strong
that they have everything to say
about who shall represent them in
the legislature.

"TALK 1T E

Talking about this movement to
down the bosses and wipe out the
corporation control of our state gov
ernpent, is Just what opens the peo-
pIe's eyes and forces them to realize
the true state of affairs. The more
the people talk it oveP the better it
is for them.
II is therefore with much pleasure
that we find our neighbor, the South

A FAMINE IN LABOR MARKET.

The cry for labor is heard in all
parts of the land. Considering the
natural increase in population and
the fact that thousands of immi-
grants arrive each day, the demand
for labor appears somewhat mystify-
ing and can only be attributed to the
unparalleled prosperity of the coun-
try and the immense crops that are
to be harvested. OF skilled labor the
supply is about equal to the demand,
but there is a great shortage of the
unskilled kind. From the farms of
the west and from the contractors on
large building operations comes the
years ago that many statesmen con
sidered the ACCESSIBILITY of shutting
down on immigrants for fear that the
labor market would be glutted. But
those were the days when the country
had not yet recovered from the evil
effects of democratic t%inkering with
the tariff. Things are different now,
and the nation needs the sturdy toll
ers from across the sea.
There is every indication that pros
perity has o to stay-at least so
long as the people are content to let
well enough along. Charles M.
Schwab is nothing if not observing,
and he takes a roseate view of the
future.
SSigns are good for a continuation
of our present prosperity" he said.
"All over the country the wheels of
industry are humming and they are
going to stay humming, too. In steel.
and iron business it at present very
bright. 1t is SO all owe the country
in nearly every branch of industry

Fish Get Cheap jag.

FRANKFORT. Ky. June 12.-Since
early morning farmers along the banks
of Benson creek have been gathering
in baskets and catching with their
hands thousands of live fish that were
rendered temporarily hors de combat
by the breaking of great yats at the
Fitzgerald distillery.
More than $4,000 gallons of pure
whisky were turned into the stream
and as a result of this accident the fish
were made drunk. In droves they came
to the surface of the water, sported
around and cut most fantastic capers.
They seemed to be about three sheets in
the wind and generally disported them
selves in most unfinnylike manner.
The distillery will lose about $25,-
900, in addition to being forced to shut
down for repairs. 1t Is said enough
fish were taken to supply the whole
community for weeks.

HOUSE GRANTS SENATt'S REQUEST
Day I'm Congress Given to Consideration
of Railroad Lcgisiation--
Little Accomplished.

WASHINGTON, June 12.--With
large proportion of The members pres
ent, due to activity of Republican and
Democratic whips, the house today
passed a rule sending the railroad rate
bill back to conference, as asked for
by the senate, without even an ex-
preston of it's wishes as to any
amendments to the bill
The rule was debated forty minutes
The leaders participated in the dis
cussion. the Democrats taking the po-
sition that the time was opportune to
concur in the sleeping car amendment,
and instruct the conferees as to the
anti-pass amendment. Although the
Democrats were aided by eight Repub-
licans, they did not command votes
enough to defeat the rule.
While the sundry bill was under con-
sideration the house adopted an amend
ment prohibiting canteens in soldiers
homes.
Unexpectedly the Neil Reynolds re-
port of the condition of the Chicago
packing houses came in for severe crit
icicm, Mondel, Slayden and Fulkerson
discussing the ACCESSIBILITY of the re-
port in scathing terms. Ames defended
both the president and the report, and
insisted that the packers should pay
the cost of inspection.
The conference report on the state
hood bill was today withdrawn from
conference and presented to the SEN
ate, the new report containing the COM
promise agreed upon by the conferees
of the two houses. The new report was
not considered.
Much of the remainder of the day
was devoted to a bill extending to Sc
hours the time LIVESTOCK may be carried
in transit without unloading. Warren
was in charge of the bill and he and
a number of senators debated il at
lergth During the discussion there
was some reference to the proposed
legislation for the regulation of pack
houses and Lodge said the packers are
standing in their own light in not in
wiling n most rigid inspection The
bill was passed.
