Isn't il somewhat singular that little
or nothing is ever heard about labor
troubles among the employees Of the
Vermont Marble Co, until Fletcher D.
Proctor is candidate for some high
office or anotherl-St, Adams Messen-
ger.
Not at ALL When man like Fletcher
D. Proctor wants something of the pub
lie, it is perfectly natural that por'
ton of the public which wants some
thing of him should voice at that time
its needs and longings. Even child
recognises, by instinct, this point OF
vantage.

The idea that there is danger Of the

seeking to inspect them seems to the Brat

will keep on talking about extravaganza,

their hands over to look such things up and

, 1t seems that even il the senate,
after three years Investigation of the
Smoot ease, there is Still ignorance of
the real issue involved and belief that
the religion and morality of the ae-
cused senator are being assailed. At
least, Senator Perkins expressed such
belief in his recent speech in present
ing a California petition for the ex-
pulsion of the Utah senator. Surely
everybody ought to know by this time
that the, question involved in the
Smoot case is not a personal one. 1t is
whether a man who has taken the oaths
of the Mormon church can also serve

The eoroner's report for 1908, for
the city Of Chicago, shows that of 3,is2
people, causes Of whose death were re-
ported. only five were killed by auto
mobiles. Twelve times as many were
killed by wagons, and 40 times as
many by railroad accidents, At the
end OF the wear 2,lOO surface street
cars were in service in the city, while
about 5000 automobiles were owned

study to the market conditions SO far as

MERCHANTS
ARRESTED

There is a state of excitement at
Redwood even greater than that
caused by the epidemic of hydro
.phobia there few weeks ago. The
arrest of nine merchants and others,
charged with the Illegal sale of in-
toxicants is the cause of he commo-
ton.
The mayor suspected there were
speakeasies or something of the sort
there and he secured the services OF
n. L. Davis, of this city, month
or more ago, to detect them. As
the result Of his detective work nine
warrants were issued for dry goods
merchants, pool room keepers and
others. and the trials are now on.
It is stated Mr.. Davis forgot him
selg enough to get behind the coun-
ter and make sales himself and that
at least two warrants are to be Is
sued for HIM, but this may be only
a threat to intimidate him.
