THAT'S WHAT Is NEEDED
Giving His Observations on Tuber
culosis and the Crusade that Shoulc
be Made Against II.
Editor Palladium:

Editor Palladium:
l notice that the health authorities
are waking up to realization of their
duties. This tubercular meat bust
ness ought to be most carefully watch
ed. Numberless people of this com
mulity indulge in rare done" meats
Steaks are served at our restaurants
hardly cooked through. This certain
ly would invite the same disease in
the human family that cattle are now
showing in their intestines. Does
not the county need man especially
fit, and who has the time to devote
to the work OF examining into all
meats brought into our markets? |
note that the county health officer ex
plains that his very large practice hai
prevented him from giving the matter
due attention, but that he purposes te
be good hereafter and render works
meet for the salary paid. We have
had some new deals in health officers
lately and some new experiences. The
question arises have these new deals
reflected credit on the powers that be
and have they been creditable TO the
community? We have had measles al
our house and we eat meat. We
skinned through the former, but tuber.
culosis, as / understand II, is a very
different proposition. Ought we Ia
have more medical lectures on the
white plague, or more practical fight
ers against it? Less free advertising
and more good works.

TOURIST BUSINESS HEAVY
MUCH TRAVEL TO SOUTH
Local Ticket Officers are BEING
Swamped With Literature Relating
to the Beauty of the Various Winter
Resorts.

The Pennsylvania ticket office was
last week flooded with advertising cir
culars from other railroads, principally
those offering rates to southern and
western tourist. The railroads of the
southwest are at this time putting
particular emphasis upon travel into
old Mexico, and literature is rapidly
finding its way into Richmond. The
jamestown exposition is also being
pushed by the railroad companies at
this time, and yesterday small pamph-
let's filled to the brim with beautiful
half-tones, setting off the beauties of
the exposition, were received here.
Southern railroads have taken their
cue from the increased business for
the south this winter, which is said
to be greater than in any year past,
and are swamping the local office with
literature.

PROBABLE LEGISLATION
BILL BEFORE THE LEGISLATURE
SEEKS TO MAKE 1T NECESSARY
FOR OPERATORS TO PASS RIGID
EXAMINATION.

Two important matters are now at
piers in the local train dispatcher S
office, they being the possibility of an
increase in wages through the efforts
of the United Federation of Labor, and
the present telegrapher's bill now
pending before the Indiana legislature
The bill now pending requires the
establishment of state board of tel
egrapher examiners, and also requires
all railroad telegraphers to pass q
successful examination before they are
entitled to serve in their present ca
pacity. 1t will greatly affect a few
of the men located in the Richmond
office, and will tend to play havoc
with the Richmond division in general,
in that cub" operators will be barred
from service and experienced men will
have to attend to the duties which the
young men are now performing. 1t
will mean that the Pennsylvania will
have to each year pay out great
amount of money in addition to the
present salaries.
In speaking of the matter yesterday,
an official in the superintendent Of
flee in the local Offices said: 1T would
give the telegraphers power to tie up
every mile of railroad in Indiana"
Speaking in the sense of reality, he
continued: Il base my belief on the
ground that there would be natural
scarcity as many of the present men
would be barred from one reason and
another. 1t would make them pow
er and we would have to stand for any
demands which they might choose to
make"
The majority of the Richmond tele-
graphers are in favor of the pending
bill and hope to see it pass. In
speaking of it yesterday, an operator
who has been in the service of the
Pennsylvania in this city for several
years, said, You see it is this way.
According to the present law seven
teen year old boy can become rail-
road telegrapher and in many cases
these youngsters are placed in respon-
sible positions, the burdens of which,
in reality, should be carried on broad
er and older shoulders. Many Of
these boys who have been in the SER
vice but short time, have had placed
within their care, the responsibility of
hundreds of human lives.
They do not appreciate the full mean
ing of the responsibility and there
fore become careless and as the result
many railroad wrecks occur. | would
to say that at least two-thirds
of the railroad wrecks of today, where
a telegraph operator is blamed for the
wreck, is caused by the carelessness of
a cub Just let these bills become
laws and see how quick the many rail-
road wrecks in this state lessen in
number"

such a strong demand for interchange

Indiana and Ohio that at the last

officials of the road in Indianapolis, it
was decided to issue the inter-line
tickets. In addition to saving time

this city have received several new
rates for western points to go in eff.

new rates are exclusive of the Cen

more different routes to the prospec-

traffic, which has heretofore been
going to competing companies. This

line. will place the Pennsylvania in
the position as the leader, so far as
competition for western business is
concerned.

An Erroneous Report.

The report that w. Hix Mallory, the Prince of smoke makers who has been making all Eastern Arkansas sn: ell of the smoke of the celebrated EseIco for some months, had quit the road to accept an appointment by by President Roosevelt is correct only in part.
 MT. Mallory resigned his place with the Tom Morton Tobacco Co. Oct. lst. For the past several weeks Mir. Mallory has been engaged in person al visit to every tobacco manufactory in the United States. Al present he Is in the Kentucky territory. It is said that his declining to accept the Government position offered him by President Roosevelt is because of his disinclination to give up his place with the Eselco people.
 Hix Mallory is unquestionably one of the most aggressive and resourceful travclining men that has ever traveled Arkansas and his friends over here are watching him with much interest.

About Monroe.
That Prosperous lte 1own--Iler Peope Present and Fu-
 lure Prospects as Seen by the ARGUS Representative.

Twelve miles down the line of B. H. and I. B. R. R. from Brinkley and on the very eastern edge of Monroe county. nestles the little village of Monroe, a busy, industrious town in the midst of fine timber and cotton region.
 Through the courtesy of Mir. J. H. Fryer, whose interest in the welfare and upbuilding of Monroe amounts to enthusiasm, representative of the ARGUS was enabled to obtain rather full history of the town. Mir. Flyers well-known interest in the place has given him the sobriquet of Mayor by his fellow citizens. and right well does he deserve the honor of that title.
 When the Brinkley. Helena and Indian Bay Railway was built seven teen years ago, a town site was offer ed by J. H. Fryer and the offer was accepted and the new town named Monroe, in honor of Mir. Monroe Norman, at that time Secretary and Treasurer of the Brinkley Car Works. and one of the stockholders and chief promoters of the new railroad.
 At that time, there was very little open country there. and timber cut ing continued to be the chief industry or years. but in recent years the growing and handling of cotton. di- rides honors with the timber business.
