STEEL MAGNATE SAYS TRADE is
IN MOST FLOURlSHING CON-
DlTlON AND FUTURE
BRIGHT WITH HOPE.
Predicts That Before End of Next Four
Years This Country Will Be Con-
suming From Twenty-eisht to
Twenty-nine Million Tons Annual
Iy-Rich Religious Workers Will
Establish Model Village in South.

New York, Jan. 9.-Charles NJ.
Schwab believes the boom in steel is
just getting under way and considers
the condition of the trade absolutely
sound. He says he looks for greater
business than ever in the near future.
He also believes mining as a business
has been put on a new basis that will
insure a permanently in the boom and
a vast output of metals for the next
few years.
New Steel Prophet.
Il told you four years ago" said Mr..
Schwab, that the steel industry would
increase to such an extent that before
the end of the year 1910 this country
would be consuming from %, OOO,O 900
Il 100000 tons of steel annually;
that the railroads and workshops
would be utterly unable to fill the de,
mand, and that we would see such a
volume of business as we have never
dreamed of.
Tremendous Consumption.
That prediction is being very rap
idly verified. AS nearly as l can esti.
mate, the consumption was $4,000. 900
tons of steel this year"

Resolution

The following resolution was read
by the secretary, M. Gonden, who
said that the executive committee had
communicated with Superintendent
Anderson, assuring him that the peo-
pie of this city will not be in sympathy
with a sympathetic strike on the I'm.
ion Pacific railroad. Judge Grant
moved the adoption OF the resolution
and the motion prevailed:
, 1907-01-09
Opposed to a Strike.

Whereas, A sympathetic strike OF
the locomotive iremen along the lines
of the Hartman system is threatened;
and,
whereas, Such a strike would prac.
tically blockade the shipping interests
of this entire country, and especially
the movement of coal at a season OF
the year when the supply is small and
the demand is constantly increasing,
thereby entailing an ~incalcuiable
mount of damage and untold suffer
ing; therefore, be it
Resolved, That inasmuch as we
know of the relations OF the Union Pa,
cifc Railroad company and its firemen
being harmonious, we, the Laramie
Commercial club, do hereby make for
NAL protest to the officials Of the Union
Pacific Railroad company, and to the
local officers Of the Brotherhood of Lo'
connective Firemen to the end that the
relations now in existence shall be in
no way disturbed, and that a copy oil
this resolution be furnished to the par
ties interested"

NO MACHINE BUT LEADERS

Those who have had so much to say
about the ..machine" had better stop, now
the battle is over, and look the situation
over and see how much truth there is IN
what they said. In a primary election
there is absolutely no opportunity for any
man or set of men to dictate a nomination.
What we need is primary law that
compels every candidate for an elective
office to be nominated by primary.
The present state administration is an
example Of what effect a primary nom
inaton has upon public officers. The
measures that the people want are easily
passed through the legislature because
majority of the members of that body
were nominated at a primary and they
know that they are servants of the people
and must do their bidding. Governor
Warner received his nomination direct
from the people and he is therefore per-
fectly fearless" in the discharge of hi:
duty to the people of the state. There
must be leaders and there must be par
ties but not dictators. Under the primary
law one man is just as big" as another
and one mans vote counts for just a
anot her.

STATE is PROSPEROUS

That there is more than seven million
dollars in the state treasury and not
dollar Of Indebtedness to charge against
It. with current receipts by the state from
all sources larger than eyer before is in
formation which will not surprise the
people Of Michigan though it may add to
their satisfaction over the present move
nent and progress Of state affairs. 1t is
expected that the coming spring primary
school apportionment will be the largest
ever made in May, and this bit OF lnfor-
nation will also be gladly note. Michi-
gan people have come to expect that
continued progress will be made in desir-
able directions Sd far as their common
wealth is concerned and they have not
recently been disappointed.

THE receipts in the retail liquor trade
IN Chicago in 1906 were over 100000,

greater than this. The sellers of food

of, perhaps, double these figures. At the
