The National Association of Manu-
facturers in its convention which
Is being held in New York during
the present week has placed itself as
TO opposing compulsory reduction in
the rates OF transportation OF pas
sengers by the railroads. The con-
yentlon also has raised a fund Of
Sl,5OO,OOO 10 be known as the fight
ing fund" for the purpose Of oppos-
ing the demands Of labor unions.
1T is the purpose OF the organiza-
ton" said President VanCleave. "to
oppose the boycott, limitation OF the
apprentices, limitation Of output OF
labor bosses and TO maintain the open
shop. The president OF the organI-
Zation should have 100000 a year for
the next three years in order to edu-
cate the employers as TO their own
duty and federate them properly"
Speaking of the Moyer-Haywood case
the convention went on record as fol-
lows: "Ths new perils carry dire
portent foF I'll good citizens" Issues
confront us In the Industrial and soc
ial world today which are larger than
anything incIudedin the creed OF any
Of the great parties. One manlfes-
tation OF peril has been the assault
upon President Roosevelt in the Moy-
er-Haywood affalr who have arrogat-
ed themselves the right to speak for
labor, although of the thirty million
wage workers only three million be-
long to the labor union"
II can be plainly seen by the above
stand by the Manufacturers associa-
tion that there will be fight before
long in this country between the Ia
Dor unions and the manufacturers
that will be OF much greater import
ance than Of any conflict that has
heretofore taken place, It will be a
Sorry day for the business interests

Assistant Superintendent. Tells OF the
Work the Mission Aims to
Perform.

Harry Kimbel, assistant superin-

over the work which he states the
mission is accomplishing. In order
that the people Of Canton may become
more familiar with the motives of the
mission and the work II is accomplish

article:
A PRACTICAL HOME MISSION.

very little practical work Is accom-
pllshed along this line. Probably
few OF the great mass OF people in

being operated In Canton, where the

preached, and good work is being
done on mission lines. The Charles

since then many souls have turned
from wickedness to serving God.
We work in conjunction with the
Rescue Home, and distribute tracts

supply of holiness literature and BIZ

when necessary. We visit the poor

Than Doubled In Value.
New York, May 22.-About twenty
years ago George II. Primrose and
Billy" West, partners in the minstrel
business. invested about $4,000 OF
their savings In a tract OF Atty two
acres OF land at Chester Hill, Mount
Vernon. Each took an undivided half
interest in the property and agreed
to let It stand as an investment. Mr..
West died a few years ago. and his
interest passed to his wiaow. Emma
c. West. Real estate dealers and build
ing site promoters have long coveted
this particular stretch, bl,t IT re-
NAMED for the Chesterfield Land and
Improvement company to secure It.
Title has just passed from Mr.. Prim-
rose and Mrs. West TO the company.
The consideration was something over
100000. The plot will be subdivided
into building lots and sold. The plot
adjoins the hne home OF the late Jas
A. Bailey, the circus man.

THE CHAMPAGNE PROOF COVER
NOR OF NEVADA.

The government of the new territory
OF Nevada was an interesting MENACE
RE Governor Nye was an old and sea-
soned politician from New YOrk-poli-
tician. not statesman. He had white
hair: he was in fine physical condi-
ton: he had a winningly friendly face
and deep lustrOus brown eyes that
could talk as a native language the
tongue of every feeling. every passion.
every emotion. His eyes could Outtalk
his tongue, and this is saying a good
deal. for he was very remarkable tai
ker. both in private and on the stump.
He was a shrewd man; he generally
saw through surfaces and perceived
what was going on inside without be-
ing suspected of having an eye on the
matter.
When grown-up persons indulge in
practical jokes. the fact gauges them.
They have lived narrow, obscure and
ignorant lives. and at full manhood
they still retain and cherish a job-lot
of leftover standards and ideals that
wonld have been discarded with their
bOyhood if they had then moved out
into the world and a broader life.
There were many practical jokers in
the new territory. l do not take pleas
ure in exposing this fact. for | liked
those people: but what | am saying is
true. l wish I could say a kindlier
thing about them instead-that they
were burglars. or hat-rack thieves. or
something like that. that wouldn't be
utterly uncomplimentary. l would pre-
fer it. but 1 can't say those things;
they would not be true. These people
were practical jokers. and | will not
try to disguise it. In other respects

other with success. and got the admit
ration and applause and also the envy
OF the rest Of the community. Natu
rally they were eager to try their arts
on big game. and that was what the
governor was. But they were not able
to score. They made several efforts but
the governor defeated these efforts
without any trouble and went on smil-
ing his pleasant smile as IL nothing had
happened. Finally the joker chiefs OF
Carson City and Virginia City conspir-
ed together 10 see il their combined
talent couldn't win a victory, for the
jokers were getting into a very IN
comfortable place: the people were
laughing at them instead OF at their
proposed victim. They banded them
selves together to the number OF ten
and invited the governor TO what was
a most extraordinary attention in those
days-plckled oyster stew and cham
pagne-luxuTies very seldom seen in
that region. and existing rather as fab

said disparagingly. It's a poor inyen-

to get me drunk and leave me under

know me. 1 am familiar with cham
payne and have no prejudIces against

The fate of the joke was not decided
until two o'clock in the morning. At
that hour the governor was serene. ge-
NAL, comfortable. cOntented, happy
and sober. although he was so full he
couldn't laugh without shedding
champagne tears Also at that hour

ito OF II has always heretofore been
what the ratio OF membership has
been. two to one in favor of the house.
while SO far nearly twice as many
bills have been introduced into the
council as have appeared in the house.
A member Of the house said yester-
day that he did not think that there
would be so many bills as formerly:
there is a less tendency toward freak
Legislation. He thought that the mine
taxing bill would be brought up early
in both houses and would practically
hold the boards until IT has been fin
ally disposed of. He was of the opin-
ion that there would be little difficulty
in enacting a law that would be sat
isfactory to all parties. In his opin-
ion the basis, il not the law itself.
would be the Doran bill already before
the council
There will probably be something
doing soon in the matter of county
division. II was reported before the
beginning Of the session and in the
early days Of it that there would be
two county division bills, one for the
separation Of the hill country Of Gra-
ham from the valley and the other al
tering the boundaries Of Santa Cruz
and Cochise. The latter project has
not been Undertaking. very fast and
it is doubtful now if anything more
Will be heard of IT,
1t is also said that there will be
very little if any opposition to the di-
vision of Graham county. The Oppo-
sitiOn has hitherto come from the VAL
ley which predOminated. but the last
election proved that the towns Of Cliff
ton and Morenci and surrounding
camps can control the affairs of the
county and that they are likely to do
it in the interest of the republican
party. not because there are more re-
publicans there than there are demo-
Gratis. but because the democrats OF the
valley are in such an overwhelming
majority. the republicans Of the hill
country are apt TO get the best of ev-
cry sectional division and a sectional
division will likely occur every two
years. about election time
The easy defeat last fall or W. T
Webb, the war horse Of the valley
by J. F. Cleaveland, was
an eye-opener and has had a great
deal 10 do with reconciling the demo-
cratic majority of the valley TO a sep
aratiOn.
Another matter which will receive
early attention is the liquor license bill.
A council bill. a substitute for the
Hunt bill. fixing the license at $500
a year. is now before the house. where
there is the Davidson bill providing
for a license Of $1,000 Il year. At the
time Of the adjournment il was
thought that a compromise could be
reached on a $500 license but since
then thee has been considerable pres
sure in favor Of a still higher license
and members are inclined To think that
It will cost a great deal more to con-
duct the saloon business. say some
where between $500 and $1,000 a year.
