 speaker Cannon replied that the ehi. ciency and integrity of the clerks at the speakers desk had never been questioned. In fact, their worth ana honesty were known to every member. He said that in this great hall and with the great membership in the House tt was almost impossible at times to hear members respond and ne thought that in a moment of thought lessness may have recorded response without consideration. He believed that the taking of votes in the House was on high plane of integrity. MT. Williams replied by saying that he did not desire to impugn the motives Of the clerks, he only asked for a proper record.

We know full well that we have the hearty co-operation and endorsement of The Montgomery Advertiser. for it's broad and progres- out the State, for 1t not to advocate the industrial education of the White chil. dren of the South. We reailze that our State of Alabama is doing all in children, but the appropriations and taxes are inadequate to supply the means for industrial education. we is doing more for the education Of children than the parents are taking advantage of. One of the objects or the Southern Educational Association is to arouse determined effort on the part Of the parents in the rural dis tricts to educate their children, also 10 supplement the liberal approprIatlons of the State by collections and sub scriptions for industrial training
 Not permitting ourselves to become white population of the State are il- literate---and this per cent not de- creasins-yet is it not time for a unit ed effort on the part of the people to alleviate this condition. When we look to the great work that the united Daughters of the Confederacy have ac- complished. caring for the dead build ing monuments and soldiers homes we arc encouraged in the belief that thls noble organization numbering 4o,ooo women can form q permanent lndustriai Educational Association.

luncheon by saying they are going to
have one of Mrs. Cortelyou's pies.

They use them as protection
against eagles.
"The lofty red sandstone cliffs of
Foula are haunted by eagles that prey
on the flocks. Every day the eagles
swoop down and steal a chicken, a
lamb or young calf. They have been
getting SO numerous lately that the
people, knowing the Skua gulls could
lick them, started gull hatchery.
"The gulls, which do no harm to
the farms, love to fight the eagles and
by degrees are reducing the number
of the denizens Of the red cliffs.
"They have long fight before them
though. Not for some years will the
marauding eagles finally disappear"

MORE REASONS WHY KANE WENT
DEMOCRATIC.
Orderville, Dec. 20, 1906.

OruerVllle, Dec. ~, l9O6.
Editor Truth.
In YOU paper of December Sth, there
is al article entitled, "Why Kanab
went Democratic" Then the writer
proceeds to hand down bunch of in
suits to the people of Kane county il
general and the good people of Order
vile in particular; makes a fiat state
ment that Mr.. Woolley isn't in politics:
then makes feeble effort to hand
Boss ID. A. big bouquet.
True it is that Mr. Woolley is not
in politics, but his determined efforts
to get in is one of the main reasons
why Kane county went Democratic at
the last election.
One of the reasons why Kane county
lin general and Orderville in particula.
went democratic is this: E. D Wool
ley for many years has boosted that
he carried Kane county in his vest
pocket and could and would deliver
the goods when the price suited him.
The people tolerated this condition
of affairs until the boss began to grow
arrogant and began to push his favor
ties and crush every citizen who dared
to have ideas of his own or think for
himself. This condition went on until
just before the primaries to select
delegates to the convention of 1904. He
and his little coterie of fifth rate pol
iticjans found themselves in a hopeless
minority. But with a determination
not to be outdone went in with the
democrats and made deal to this ef-
feet: Democrats were to go into the
republican primaries, then they would
reward the democrats by giving them
representation on the republican tick
ct. Should they Jointly fail to carry
the primaries and thus the county con-
vention then the democrats were to
put up ticket and give Woolley's
crowd representation on the democrat
tic ticket. The compact was kept to tn,
very letter. Woolley and his satellites,
jointly with the democrats, went into
the republican primaries but were ov-
erwhelminly defeated. The democrats
put a ticket in the field with several
Of Woolley's republican satellites on it..
Woolley and his boosters went so far
as to challenge ninety republican vo-
ters in the Orderville precinct, and
thus endangered the state republican
ticket, indulging in loud and threaten
ing talk and sent their women folk
with marked tickets from house to
house teaching the people how to vote
to defeat the local republican ticket.
All this time strutting, prating and
Boosting about their unauthorized and
undying republicanism. The result of
Truth. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1901-1908, 1906-12-22

the election was that Woolley's mon.
grel ticket got fewer than one-third as
many votes as did the straight repub-
lican ticket.
Then again just preceding the last
elected Woolley asked Mr.. Seeg-
miller what he had on in politics.
Seegmiller answered, nothing. Wool
ley in commanding voice said he
wanted Seegmiller to get out and run
the campaign. Seegmiller demurre0
but Woolley insisted.
Several days later the two met again
and Woolley asked what Seegmillei
had on in politics. Seegmiller replied
that he was going to run John Brown
for the legislature. All right, replied
Woolley, want to vote for him. 1.-TWO
years before Woolley was fighting John
Brown.) Woolley then claimed that
Jolla Brown was no more fit for the
legislature than was yellow dog. But
low the old man saw a new light b,
going in with John Brown, who saw
possible chance to get back into the
saddle.
In order for Seegmiller to carry out
Woolley's orders it was necessary for
the boilers to carry Ranch precinct.
A council of war was called at once.
Seegmiller, John and James Brown
were present (and likely others) and
it was decided that Seegmiller go into
Ranch precinct and run the primary
by running in voters from lower
Kanab. This plan was carried out by
juggling and other things too numer-
GUS to mention in this article.
The Woolley-Seegmiller crowd sue
ceeded with two exceptions-W. w.
Adair for assessor and H. S. Cutler for
county attorney-in forcing ticket to
their liking. Then the old trouble
broke out again. The people soon
learned of the packing of the upper
Kanab primary and gradually awaken
ed to the fact that the crowd that bolt
ed the party two years before by foul
means was in the saddle again. The
result was that the people of Kane
county in general and the people of
Orderville in particular rebuked the
boilers by electing democratic
ticket. And this, in my opinion they
will continue to do as long as Mr..
Woolley and his henchmen try to ride
the people and not lead them.
Mr. Woolley is gifted with only me-
diocre qualities of head and heart. I'm
fortunately for him he has lost the con-
fidence and esteem of the people he
presides over as bishop. He is no
more entitled to the credit of putting
in the Kanab waterworks than any one
of the sixty odd original water-takers
When it was decided to pipe the water
into Kanab several gentlemen gave
their guarantee in order to make the
thing possible. Mr.. Woolley demand
ed and received princely salary for all
he did for the Kanab waterworks. So
much so that numbers of poor people
who haven't been able to pay for their
water to this day are complaining
about the exorbitant salary that was
paid to him. WISE HEAD.

shippers have secured favors to the

SHlppeTS nave secured faVOrS to the
disadvantage of smaller ones.
In the matter of passenger rates,
some improvement has been enjoyed
by those living along the lines of the
u. +. and the o. S. l., railways, but a
large portion of the citizens of our
state are still paying exorbitant and
in some instances discriminating rates.
A railroad commission would adjust all
this and put rates into effect that
would not work hardship either on
the people or the railroads.
The Supreme court in it's decision
rendered at Washington, December
18th, 1906, forever settles beyond dis
pute the question of the rights of the
states to regulate rates within their
borders in the following language:
"That state has such power cannot
be doubted and it cannot be thwarted
by any action of railroad company
which does not involve an actual in
terstate shipment"
A railroad commission would investi-
gate and cause to be remedied the hun
dred of complaints that are daily being
made regarding the intolerant condi-
tions of the many railroad stations of
the state, which with but few excep-
tions are a disgrace to the railroads
and the communities inflicted with
them, a serious menace to health and
morals and a cause for giving travel
ers through our state a very bad opin-
ion of our commonwealth. Many peo-
pie have passed on to other localities
after taking one look at the disgrace
full so-called stations" that line the
railroads, in this state.
Another important reason why the
public interests demand a state rail
road commission is the fact that in
dividuals with a grievance can get no
satisfaction when seeking redress.
There may be exceptions where few
favored patrons are heard with due
courtesy, but as rule single indi-
vidual is powerless, unless he resorts
to the courts, very expensive and
impracticable alternative. Often pa
irons mild protest is met by the rail-
roads representative making nothing
but a curt or insolent reply. A rail
road commission would be heard and
a remedy reached, with mutual good
feeling between all parties concerned
That legislative action backed by
that great factor-public opinion-is
necessary to correct these and other
existing evils goes without saying and
the time for such action is now.
This association Is distributing
thousands of copies of this appeal that
all interested may have an understand
ing of the situation as it exists. We
ask your support and encouragement
