YOU SHOULD REGISTER TO-DAY.

THIS is the last day for registration if you
\ want to vote at the primaries, There is
time enough yet to get to the polls, pay your
dollar and be in line for the nominations The
primaries are about as important as the general
election.
At the primaries the candidates are named and
every party man who would like TO see nomina-
tons made according to his wishes, is privileged
to take part in them il he is registered.
The machine men and the followers of special
interests viii work energehoally to have their
supporters qualified, They know the value OF
vote at the primaries and they are aware that
the primary is the keystone OF the campaign.
Every ordinary citizen who believes in aotienand
not merely in talk, should be qualified to have
a hand in the nominations II he does not avail
himself of the opportunity he should not COM
plain if the nominees do not please him.

The Cause Of illness.

Editor The Evening Journal
The number of people in the city COM
planning about the various stomach
troubles that seem TO have broken loose
suggests to me that there must be more
cause for the disorders than most peopis
imagine. II occurs TO me that the sickness
might be due to the powders and various
compositions put on fruits and vegetables
by the farmers ito kin the bugs and in-
sects that destroy the produce and TINS
not having been properly cleaned of
some of it may have found its way TO the

To the farmers who are reading of the bound
less crops and the heavy yields the prospects of
seventy cent wheat and thirty-fve cent corn are
not alluring. And the consumers will be little
benefited by the large yield. 1t is not likely that
the size of a loaf of bread will be increased or
that -four will be much lowered in price because
of the bumper crops. The price at the farm of
an agricultural product and the price the con

CANNON READY FOR GoMPERs.

G PEAKER CANNON usually is frank and
- outspoken When he is opposed to
measure he says so. When he stands for any
thing that may be pleasing to the beef or any
other trust. he does not go to extraordinary
lengths to conceal his real objects and his views
The labor unions under the direction of Mr..
Gompers have decided to oppose the re-eec-
ton of the speaker. Mr. Cannon frankly accepts
their challenge The political combat will be
mcst important because it will measure the
strength of organized labor at the polls. 1t will
be the first time that, under the direction and
advice OF the national leaders, members OF the
unions will be supposed to cast their votes Tor
one candidate or the other. Heretofore the union
men have been free to vote for whomever they
please. AS consequence no strictly labor union
man is a member Of Congress in this country
although in other parliaments OF the world the
labor element is more or less largely represented
In some bodies like that of England the labor
party has a very large membership although
their leader, John Burns doubts the wisdom of
the laboring men separating themselves from
other classes OF citizens who work and thus mar
rowing their channels
Mr.. Cannon declares in favor Of standing pat
on the tariff He doesn't want change in the
schedules on the plea that it is good to let well
enough alone Mr. Cannon has long been in
favor Of the present tariff without revision and
therefore his attitude is not a surprise. A great
many Republicans will not agree with him on
this point They believe the tariff should fire.
quently be adjusted to meet changes. This SEN
timent will grow and there is every probability
that in the near future the tariff will be altered
by its friends and not by its enemies
Mr.. Cannon is opposed to the anti-iniunction
views of Mr. Gompers President of the Fedora
ton OF Labor This is one Of the rocks upon
which the labor union men split with the speaker,
as the ant-iniunction idea is one OF the favorites
with the union 1t is delicate question
Tor candidate Tor Office to handle, but Uncle
Joe proposes to so up against it,
The fight on Mr. Cannon will be watched with
intense interest It is the initial vigorous and
determined battle OF the unions in the arena of
politics. The speaker is standing pat and the
show down on election day will tell how much
impetus the agitation for a strictly labor party
has gane,i in this country. A large vote would
make labor strong factor in politics, while a
small one would scatter the fears and uncer-
taintes of leaders who do not like to contem-
plate the existence OF labor party with the
powerful backing of the American Federation.
That organization has hundreds of thousands
Of men affiliated with it. How many of them
are willing to add a practical political creed to
their industrial one remains to be seen.

Those who surround the free lunch counters
OF Chicago where something to eat goes with
the drink, have learned that special kind of
tainted and bad food is prepared for their CON
sumption. The ordinary Chicago potted stuff
is not supplied in the saloons. According to
the inspectors examinations the food is about
as bad as the whis1ey that it accompanies But
will guarantee that the men who follow the
tree lunch route will not be deferred by any
revelations concerning the character of what
they eat in the bar rooms.

1t is comforting perhaps, to read the govern

II believe fifty persons met death
in that wreck. Forty-one of these
we're burned to death. Nine were
killed otherwise and their bodies have

fifty dead is about correct
The railroad officials placed the
dead at about forty in their latest Of

Coroner Places One Blame.
Speaking with regard to the blame
for the horrible loss Of life the coro-
ner said
The cause of that wreck was the
lack of proper signals on the first
section of the passenger train to noti-
fy the engineer of the freight train
that second section was following"
Later the coroner made a further
statement:
Il attribute the blame for this ac-
cident to the crew of the first sec
tion of train No. AZ, which should
have notified the crew Of freight train
No. SO on the siding that another
train was following them.
Will Punish Guilty Ones.
Everything will be done that is in
the power of the coroner to bring TO
justice the persons responsible for
this loss of life and damage to prop
erty. Every precaution will be taken
and has been taken to prevent the
escape of the guilty persons
Superintendent Bachelder, of the
Baltimore and Ohio sent in the first
official information of the number of
dead to the Baltimore and Ohio Off
GERS at noon. Until this information
was received the railroad officials
here insisted that but one had been
killed and few injured.
His telegram said:
Forty killed: cant get names; no
one to identity"
The first three coaches of the pass
enger train were telescoped. The
persons known to have been killed
most of whom were Russian refugees

EDITOR DEMocRAT:-Will you please
allow me space in your paper to say
word about the Lawrenceburg boys who
are in the Hawkins School?
The boys went at their work with a
determination to accomplish something,
and in this they have succeeded. Of
the seven, six have made the roll of
honor $50 per cent? on the first exam
nations. The other one, who has not
been in school for some two or three
years, only lacked fraction of a per
cent of making the required grade.
This is somewhat of remarkable
record as only about thirty per cent OF
the school make the honor roll, but II
shows what the boys from Old Law
renee can do when they try They
have conducted themselves in such a
gentlemanly way that they have moi
only won the highest esteem Of thu
school, but Of the people of Gallatin a
well.
