v|O[ATORS OF
THE LAW WILL
Be PROSECUTED

Washing ton. Jan. 3.--"We cannot say
definitely what class of merchants or
manufacturers we shall reach first in
the enforcement of the pure food and
drugs act" said Secretary Wilson OF
the department of agriculture yoster-'
day, but you may take 1t TO he GER
tain that among the first to be reached
will be the fellows who defy the Inw.''
The secretary's statement was made
after he had read q circular recently
issued by the National Wholesale Gro
GERS association.
The secretary added that such labels
as now are i'm the hands Of manuf.,c-
turers and dealers may be used until
the first of next October. because the
department had no desire TO impoSe
upon them heavy loss by forcing the
destruction Of quantity of expensive
labels.
But" the secretary said "cn ali
products entering into Interstate or
foreign commerce 10 will be necessarv
to have label that viii show what
the package contains. IL the oil laael
does not show this fact. n paster must
be put on the package which will
show IT,"

There is now considerable agitation
concerning the child labor question In
Rhode Island. Complaints have been
made that the laws are not stringent
enough and are not properly enforced. In
view OF the fact that a new child labor
law went into effect on Jan OF this year
] believe we should defer temporarily our
Judgment on this question until we nave
fair opportunity TO observe the results
of this law The recent enactment which,
I believe, will not only be observed but
welcomed by all fair-minded, intelligent
manufacturers and employers, ought also
10 be encouraged by parents who regard
the ultimate and educational welfare or
their children as OF higher consequence
than present financial gain. Strict en-
forcement OF the law must be positively
insisted upon. and the factory inspectors
should be held TO a rigid accountability
for the diligent performance OF their du-
ties.
After a fair trial. II tho new law be
found to he defective. II should be
promptly and properly amended, as the
people of the state are determined that
we must have modern legislation and law
enforcement on this important matter.
Other Recommendation
Among other matters which | deem i'm
portant and would submit for your con-
sideration are the following: O) a law re-
enacting the i0-hour law for motormen

sion i'm 1902 having in view the safety OF

The Epwortk League Reception

On last Friday evening the Blues
OF the Epworth League of the
Methodist Church entertained the
Colds in a very enjoyable manner.
About sixty attended and all ex-
pressed themselves as delighted
with the program and banquet.
After a game of Greeting" which
broke the ice very effectively,
several interesting numbers were
given. Among them was a rendi-
ton OF Higher Culture in Dixie"
by Miss Brewer which delighted
her hearers, and numerous read
ings by Sallie Crofford and Maple
Naetus that were loudly applaud
ed. Rev. Du3ose and Rev. Will
son entertained the audience in
their usual happy n and the
president of the League Mr.. H. H..
McElroy followed with a talk that
was enjoyed and appreciated.
After this feast of reason the
guests adjourned to the parsonage
to partake of a more substantial
feast, which under the manipula-
ton of Mesdames Acton, Hurley,
Wilson and DeOliviera was all
that an epicure could desire. Tur-
key sandwiches disappeared like
dew before the sun and wit
and laughter reigned supreme.
The Colds feel indebted to the
Blues for one of the most enjoy
able social evenings spent in Tu-
cumcari, and to the credit of it's
leading spirits it should be stated
that the League is decidedly the
most successful organization in
the city.

To-day my friends we gather to

citizen, Col. T. w. Heman, a man
who belonged to those men who,
the past rendered such great
and incompatible service to our
country. He was the type of the
highest citizenship, being willing
to lay down his life, if needs be, for
the sake of his country.

the bravest men were tried, and
when such honors could only be
won by the merit of true cour-
age. He was also a member of

business with Rolla Wells, the
present Mayor of St. Louis, in that

CLUB ENDORSES HUGHES

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Dec. 2S.-The Republican
club tonight indorsed Governor Hughes
as candidate for the Republican pres
idential nomination and called on Repub-
licans throughout the country to cooper
ate in securing his nomination and elec-
tion
There were more than 300 members of
the club present and all but nine voted
for the resolution, which was as follows:
Resolved, That the Republican club of
the city of New York indorses Governor
Charles Evans Hughes as the Republican
candidate for the presidency of the
United States of America in 1908, and in
vites the corporation of kindred organiza-
tions and of the people generally through
out the city. state and nation to secure
his election"
The meeting was an extraordinary one,
called to act on the indorsing of Gov.
Hughes for president. The secretary
said there had never been so large an
attendance at club meeting. The meet
ing was secret.
After some debate the resolution indors-
ing Governor Hughes was adopted with
but nine members voting against it. The
nine, it was stated declared that they
were for Hughes but thought 1t unwise
to pass the resolution at the present time.
