FOR ROOSEVELT. But

In opinion the sentiment is for Roosevelt and
that the delegates will be instructed either for him
or as he may suggest. There some things. how
ever. that our people desire to have managed diff
ferently. refer TO the fact that do not want
Democrats appointed over Republican workers to
positions OF any kind. and especially the pre-
text of their having higher grade the Civil
Service list, when both competitors eligible.
Also in order to have peace in the family. 1t will
. be necessary for the Hon. T. Z. Plat to stop
knocking at the dictation OF three four kick
ers Of the Republican organization in Jefferson
County. He may have the pull TO continue this,
but have offset in the fact that shall be
doing business after he retires. We believe that
federal oficeholders who devote their time the
welfare of the people and spend their money in
aiding their party should be continued in the ser
vice so long as they give reasonable satisfaction 10
the people served; but those VINO hold positions
and do little possible in every way should not
be continued to exceed two terms.

PARIS. Juno 1.-The. cabinet met
today and discussed the maritime
strike at length. Tho measures in
troduced by Marine Minister 1'homp-
son TO insure the despatch of mails
to the colonies by transports and to
maintain communication by mail to
Mediterranean ports by means OF
torpedo boat destroyors and torpedo
boats, were approved. Other meas
ures were decided upon by tho min
listers, to be put in practice In case
the strike is prolonged, hut their ma
ture was not announced when the
meeting adjourned.
While minister Thompson says he
hopes the strikers will recognize
the logic of facts and come to their
Senses" tho government seems to be
almost helpless. The Seamans' or
Iganization Is making 1t clear that they
have no cause for complaint against
tho navigation companies and that
the fight is against the government
for an increase of the pensions of tho
men of the naYnl reserve, to which
nearly all the strikers belong. The
situation Is very serious. French
IBhipping Is paralyzed and unless there
| Is Mn immediate settlement of the
dispute many industries will be COM
Ipelled tor''shy, town and thousands
of workmen in other branches OF
trade Will be thrown into enforced
idleness. The strike today was ex-
tended to Dunkirk, Calais Boulogne,
Gravclins. bordeaux and other ports
which We're not affected yesterday,
and the tie up is now complete ev-
crywhere in France, Algeria and Tu-
mis-. The commercial interests are
crying out against the so.called "ty-
ranny of the labor organizu.ions,"
and against the government for not
being able to meet the strikers de-
mands.
The minister of marine says 1t is
impossible to increase the minimum
of age pensions to 1920 and 1850 for
men and officers respectively MS the
Seamnns organization demands.
In order not to remain passive,
some of the navigation companies
took action against the strikers to-
day. Formal charges of desertion
We're made against nearly 5000 Off
GERS, engineers, seamen aud others
who have abandoned their ships, and
under the decree of 1852 they are
subject to heavy penalties.

animation that he waa suffering from

Measures for the alienation OF the

anu dizziness and nausea caused by

Haywood Is a hearty eater and since
