HOT NOTE FROM
Mr.. WATTERSON.
Warns Kentucky Democratic Lead.
ers Against Loss Of Old
Ideas OF Honor.
HE CALLS FOR A SQUARE DEAL
DspIorss Calling Of Primary and the Great
Expense Attached.

In yesterdays Courier Journal
Henry Watterson calls for a
restoration of the old order that
prevailed in Democratic circles
in this State in days agone Mr..
Watterson says in part:
"What the Democrats of Ken.
lucky most need at this time is a
square deal. What too many
aspirants for Office seem to want
is little the best of 1t. Old
ideas of honor, of brotherlv love
and of the party welfare appear
to have dropped out, and in lieu
of them low to play for ad.
vantage, more or less unfair,
rules the roost among contempo-
rary file leaders and party man
ayers"
Mr.. Watterson than says that
this is equally true of Repub
llcans, and the conditions in
Kentucky do not materially diff
fer from those existing in most
of the States. He deplores the
calling of a primary year in
advance of the election, and lays
particular stress upon the as
sessed money charges of the
primary, which are so excessive
as to shut out the poor man al
together.
"Better call the whole thing
off, gentlemen says Mr.. Wat
terson; "it begins to smell al
ready and before you are done
with it, it will stink"
He then says the Democrats
owe their possession of the
State to the ''fatuous, blind fol-
ly" of the Republicans rather
than to any merit or wisdom of
their own. He says that more
unpopular leadership than the
Democrats have commonly had
can hardly be conceived. and if
persevered in will cost the loss of
the State. He deplores the new
fashioned primary because of its
many complications and chances
offered to the ''rlch and I'M.
scrupulous to get in their work."
Concluding, Mr.. Watterson
says, referring to the primary:
"In short and in fine, call the
damned thing off and give a poor
man a chance to get nomina-
ton, as in days of yore, without
money and. without price"

FUNNY STATEMENT
OF AN ORGANIZER
W. J. Campbell, of Color. Adj
mits $50 Nor-Union Men
Fill Places OF 800 Union
TELLS OF LAVISH SUPPORT
GIVEN TO STURGlS STRIKERS.

The Louisville TIMES of Aug
ust 18th gives the dignity of an
interview with a large head to
w. j Campbell, of color, former
Secretary Treasurer of the West
Kentucky district of United
Mine Workers of America, in
this wise:
w. j. Campbell, international
organizer of the United Mine
Workers of America, who resides
at Drakesboro, KY, was a caller
today at the office of George w.
Long, United States Marshal,
but he denied that his visit had
any connection with the miners
strike at the mines of the West
Kentucky Coal Coal Company at
Sturgis, where $50 nonunion men
have been filling the places of
300 union men since last Septem-
Der.
"There is no trouble just at
this time, said Campbell to a
reporter for The Times. "The
nonunion men are still guarded
by fifty men. A searchlight
sweeps the entrances TO the
mines all night and there is at
least one Gatling gun on the
scene. Jackson Withers, the
colored man, who, with John
Williams, another negro, was
shot on the road between Provi-
dence and Sturgis by white men,
is dead. Williams may recover.
Why the negroes were shot has
not been explained. The men
in custody are only susnected of
having fired the shots.
"There is no particular suffer
ing among the strikers now and
will not be until cold weather.
The United Mine Workers of
America allows each miner 50
week and if he is married 81 is
allowed mis- wife. If he has chill
dren each one is allowed from
twenty five TO fifty cents week.
We took care of the strikers last
winter and we shall be able to
do the same thing this winter.
This is fight to a finish. The
only point involved is the recog-
milton of the union. The West
Kentucky Coal Company thus
far has refused to sanction our
organization. The members of
the United Mine Workers of
America have a two-year con-
tract with Kentucky mine opera
tors. Every day we are gaining
strength, in my opinion. The
miners are organized in all of
the mining districts of Kentucky
with the exception of Hopkins
county"

quest that they may be favored
with a large attendance on this
occasion.

LABOR TROUBLES
IN COAL MINES
Geological Department Report on
Strikes During Last Year.
ILLINOIS FURNISHED A
LARGE PART CT The TROUBLE.


Washington, ID. O., Aug. 10.
There have been few years in
the coalmimng history of the
United States when there was
less time lost through labor dis
affections than during 1905, says
Mr.. K. w. Parker, statistician of
the United States Geological
Survey, in a forthcoming report
on the production of coal In
1905.
The most serious trouble eX-
perienced last year was in Hi
nois and was the result of the
enactment of what is known as
the shot. firer's law. This law,
which was highly obnoxious to
the operators, required the en-
ployment of additional men and
necesslated, therefore, an extra
expense which the operators in
number of cases refused to pay,
claiming it was violation of the
agreement that the expenses of
mining coal were not to be in
creased by any action of the
miners, and that this legislation
had been obtained at the in
stance of the miners union. A
number of strikes resulted, and
as a serious disturbance of the
peaceful conditions which had
existed In Illinois for several
years seemed imminent, the
matter was submitted to the arbi-
tration of Judge Geo. Gray, who
had been chairman of the An
thracite Coal Strike Commission.
Judgs Gray decided that the ex-
penses should be equally divided
between the miners and the
operators. Work was resumed
when the arbitration was de-
cided upon and the rest of the
year was comparatively free
from strike suspensions.
The number of men on strike
in Illinois during the year was
1889, or 47.6 per cent of the
total number of men IN bituml-
nous mines idle on account of
strikes for the United States.
These Is, 289 men were idle an
average of 81 days, the total
number of working days lost by
them amounting to 321, 1867, or
AZ per cent of the entire time
lost by strikes in all the bitumi-
nous mines of the country. Out
side of Illinois the principal
losses of time by reason of
strikes were in Pennsylvania,
where 5676 men were idle an
average of 33 days; in Ohio,
where $3.50 men lost an average
of Is days; in Kentucky, where
923 men lost an average of 6S
days; in Montana, where at one
mine 200 men on strike for 1870
days; and in Alabama, where
the strike inaugaTated in 1904 is
still officially in effect. In Iowa,
and Kansas there were compar-
atively large numbers of men on
strike but the time lost in each
of the States was Insignificant.

KENTUCKY
STATE GUARD.
Should Have the Support Of
Every Patriotic Citizen.
LET THE BOYS GO TO CAMP.

Officers of the Kentucky
State Guard, particularly of the
Third Regiment, express the
hope that merchants and other
employers of guardsmen will
cheerfully allow the men to par
ticlpate in the state encamp.
ment and target practice to be
held at Henderson in August.
Besides the pleasant outing,
it will afford our boys an oppor-
tunity to enter the competition
for number of beautiful gold
and silver medals, which have
been offered by the state for
those most proficient on the tar
get range.
This matter of allowing the
men to attend the annual camps
is receiving considerable atten-
ton from one eud OF our coun-
try to the other, and the follow
ing article from the Baltimore
American well illustrates the
feeling Of the great majority of
the patriotic employers of the
United States.
The encampments and maneuvers
are provided in order that the gov
eminent may get some return for
the money it spends in the training
and equipment of the militia and
serve to better equip the men for an
emergency call, which may come at
any time in big government like
this. The merchants and en-
ployers of Liverpool have the right
idea of the service their employees
render tier government. Recently
these employers held meeting
and decided that it was their duty
to let the militiamen off duty in
times of the annual maneuvers.
They not only decided to do this,
but also to give the militiamen in
their employ the preference in MAX
ing promotions in their establish
ments.
A local merchant who is a close
friend of the guard and who has fol-
lowed it's work said yesterday that
he considered 1T a duty employers
owed the United States to let the
militlamen off to attend these
maneuvers. could there be more
genuine display of patriotism on the
part of employers this merchant
asked. "The government annually
appropriates money for the guards
men in lieu of maintaining a big
standing army, and 1t is always de-
.sirable that we have large body of
trained men tor service In the field,
especially when these men come
from the civil walk of life. The mill
itiamen are not in the service for a
livelihood like the regulars, but
from purely patriotic motives, and
when they are properly trained
make up an efficient army of de-
Tense.
employers of the guardsmen
can help wonderfully in the devel-
opment of the volunteer militia by
letting their men know that their
patriotism in joining the militia
is appreciated, and that their posi-
tions will not be in jeopardy when
they are given up temporarily for
the benefit of the country or the
state. / should very much like TO
see the employers of Baltimore fol-
low the lead established by the en-
ployers of Liverpool. The Mary
land National Guard could then be
made one of the strongest military
forces in the country. The officers,
all of whom are business men, glad
ly give freely of their time and
money In order that the Guard may
be kept up, and sometimes it is up
hill work with them"

LETTER FROM CALIFORNIA
Rev. Teel Writes Of Conditions and Re.
members Old Kentucky.
DARLINGTON BEE

In my San Francisco paper de-
livered this afternoon | read of
individuals dying from the heat
in the great cities of the middle
west, AMI remember the sunny
days in my old darlington home
and contrast the month of
August with the same period
here.
A glance at the map will show
that this splendid 'city of the
coast is near the northern bonn
dary of the state. Here we get
much rain and fog and have lit
tie difference in temperature
between January and midsum-
mer. While We editor perspires
freely in light summer garb the
writer finds small fire in the
room not uncomfortable. | wear
wooden Indergarments and an
overcoat every month in the year.
Mrs. Teel and ] find the climate
uncongenial as it does not get
cold enough IN winter nor warm
enough in summer. A little too
cool TO be without fire and hard
ly cool enough to cause us to pre-
pare one. Fuel is also very ex-
pensive. Coal that would not
be merchantable with you sells
readily here for $1,000 per ton.
Much of it comes from Australia.
| have often wished for st. Der.
nard lump. But what's the use?
The great lumber dealers and
ship owners are becoming fabu-
lousy wealthy since the great
earthquake of April 18th caused
such an unprecented demand for
building materials. Lumber has
advanced enormously as has also
transportation for it to the
stricken cities. Labor is greatly
in demand everywhere. Much
business has been suspended be-
cause of dearth of laborers.
1t is thought by many that when
the great harvests are gathered
this shortage Will be relieved.
California is making progress
all along the line. Religion is
becoming more popular, study in
her various institutions of learn
ing more prevalent, and Ne gam
bling, saloon, redlight element
held in check. One hundred
and seventy-tive towns and
cities are "dry" and the gam
bling element watched and pros
ecuted.
There is much here of which
we are not proud, but the gener-
al trend of all things laudable is
upward.
The BEE is highly priced, l
presume by all ex. Darlington
ians, certainly by the writer. 1t
told us of the Home. coming
Kentuckians. AS we read of the
picnic by the lake our hearts
thrilled and we sincerely wished
that we could be among the num-
Der. | have been something of
a rambler, and certainly have
no cause to complain, but Ken
lucky, with her fertile farms,
splendid cities, and rough and
rugged hills, equals any place
for home making with which /
am acquainted. Mrs. Teel has
stopped Lloyd, my eldest son,
from playing My Old Kentucky
Home on the violin.

This change was announced at sew

and at the meeting at Lawrence in
/ May, it was presented to council of
the state officers and district presi-
/ dents, and passed by a unanimous vote.
{ <AIleI WH4cu Il Was TAKEN W al q SeS-
/ SIGN of the Federation, and passed al
most unanimously possible two or
/ three voting against it. A clear under
standing of this Amendment cannot but
convince club women of the wisdom OF
fthus Gem enting closer the relations of
state and districts. At the Lawrence
meeting the federation voted to admit
clubs through the district on the same
basis as individual clubs=anowine
each club federating through the dis
trict the vote of its president or her
proxy. In return for this, the state
asks that the districts become auxiliary
organizations to the state.
The only advantage accruing to the
state fYom this is that a district can
not withdraw without due notice
which it can do now. taking with ii
the strength of a whole section of the
state.
