THE PRIVATE STAR
CHAMBER MEETING

There was only three or four OF
our citizens last night at the pre-
tended Chamber of Commerce d.
rectors meeting. who were not rec
ognized leaders of the gangsters, and
they did not participate TO any ex-
tent. They were like the poor boy
Mt the frollic, had nothing to say.
Every one of the fellows who said
they could vote the people as they
wished" were there with enthusi-
astlc applause for every suggestion
that would indicate "A probability OF
getting that one hundred thousand
dollars which would "vIndIcate" the
gang.

OLIVER WILL DIG
PANAMA DITCH YET
CONTRACTOR SAYS HE WILL RE
ON HAND NEXT SEASON
WITH BETTER PROPO-
SITION THAN TVER.

Augusta, Ga, May 25.-That the
construction of the Panama canal
will yet have to be done by contract
and that he himself will have hand
In DIGGING the big ditch. is the pre-.
dlcfion of William J. Oliver here.
= theoretically" said MT. oliver.
army engineers are the best in the
world, and frop theoretical stand
point they are the proper persons TO
nave in charge of the digging of the
canal. Their training and general
equipment makes this so. but they
have neither the practical experience
nor the following necessary TO en-.
able them to do actual construction
work They are in the attitude of
an architect toward a big building
III Is simply matter of business ex-
perience that does not come in the
way OF army engineers.
II expect that the next Congress
will be called upon to make legisla-
tion on the matter. When this is
done | will be on hand with a better
proposition than | made before"
REFERENCE TO ,ROOOT.
Reference to his failure to get the
contract for the canal, and the Gov
ernment's apparent bad faith with
him, when the whole country expect
ed that the contract would be award
ed to him, he said:
Root, the gum-shoe man of the
Cabinet, was responsible for nv
throwdown.' He stands in with the
Ryan interests, which were backing
the other crowd. After he saw that
his friends were cut out of il under
the terms Of the bid. he was deter.
mined that | should not have it
What Root says goes in the Cabinet.
He does the slick work for that
body Then Mr. Taft, has to stand
out in the limelight and bear tho
criticism
TRIBUTE TO MCDONALD.
II received a straightout PROPOSE
tion to do certain things, which
did to the letter. The goods should
have been delivered to me when
made good However it was intended
that the contract should go to the
interests and when they saw they
could not get around my bid, they
set me an impossible task as they
saw It, This was to~faise $1,000.
600 in ten days, and associate with
me two contractors of equal standing
This / did
John b. Mcdowell, who headed
our company, is the greatest contrac-
tor the world ever saw"

WOMAN LECTURED FOR MEN ONLY"
BOND ISSUE.

There is a negro in the wood pile
In this bond issue and more OF that
political trickery which has charac-
terized Bluefeld In the past is show
ing up prominently. or course they
claim II Is a non-politicaI question,
and so IL would have been II this
Blueheld political gang had kept
their hands out yof the question.
They are endeavoring to take adj
vantage OF the people OF Blueneld
to benefit individual interests and
we shall tell the people all about
1t in our next issue. Let every good
citizen of Blueheld come to the res
cue and see to Il that their own
money is not put I'm the hands of
any set OF men until they have n
guarantee that Il will be correctly
and honestly expended The men
who are trying TO force this bond
issue upon the people so quickly
without even time for an honest In
vestigation, have a reason for doing
It, There is now only little time to
think over this matter ,and You
must act quickly il you wish TO pro-
tect your own interests. Look into
the situation calmly and dispassion-
ately before you vote away your lib
critics and your monies as well.

FRENZIED FINANCE
AND POLITICS

There is no use in attempting to
disguise the matter, Il IS the old
gang of political tricksters that in
their desperation are trying to pro-
long their boss rule by getting into
their possession one hundred thous-
and dollars Of the peoples money.
DO you wish to give this amount for
the furtherance of their political
rule. With this much of the peoples
money to feast upon they would be
your absolute masters ror all time
to come. There is both politics and
frenzied finance all combined in one
death struggle for continued power
In this quickly Matched up bond
movement.

THE Associated Press reports tell
us that, since the present business
depression set in, the weekly emil
grafton of foreign laborers from
the port of New York alone is over
25, 000-all of them from the highly
tariff-protected districts of Penn
sylvania and other Eastern States.
Will the American workingman
please note the fact? If he does,
he must see just how much the
Great American System of Protec-
ton protects him against that
"pauper labor OF Europe" which
my Republican neighbors so feel
ingly advert to in campaign times
| When he asks Tor the increased
wages which will give him his pro-
portion OF the profits produced by
the System, behold! the cheapes'
of European laborers are imported
to take his place. Does he see it
or will he docilely and creduously

Iron County register. [volume] (Ironton, Iron County, Mo.) 1867-1965, 1907-12-05
From Will H. Thomas.


Los ANGELES, Cal. Nov. %, '07.
Ed. Register-Enclosed you will
find P. o. money order for S1.50,
for which you will kindly renew
my subscription for the REGISTER,
and change my address to 429 Cal
ifornia street. Regardless of the
financial crisis | am glad to say
that | am enjoying good health
and prospecting, and, best of all, |
am sober. Thank God! am not
writing a temperance lecture, but
will say that it has been three
years since liquor passed my lips
in any form, and you know, MI.
AXE, how much that means to me!
| long to see dear old Missouri
sometimes, but for a place to live
and do we'll the Golden State is
good enough for me. In ordinary
times gold predominates in this
country, bnt at present there is
very little in circulation, and you
should hear some of these natives
yell when you hand them script.
1t looks good to me, however, and
I enclose you 81 as a souvenir. The
clearing house has issued one mill
lion dollars in this script, so you
see that helps some. Each denom-
nation is a different color to ena-
BILE the banks to count it easily.
Well, this is Thanksgiving Day,
but it will be minus the turkey with
me, as they are only 80 cents a
pound here. Eggs are so cents a
dozen, and butter 40 cents a pound.
How is that for prices? Well, /
suppose | have said enough for
this time. Hoping you are enjoy
ing good health, and wishing you
success, | remain,
Yours, truly,
WILL H. THOMAS.
P. S. | surely would be lost
without the GOOD OLD REGISTER.
