situated in the center Of the building
These two little models were made by
George w. Barnes, OF one time superln-
tendent of the Pension Office, and placed
in the water during the spanish-Anlerican
war.
BY a wateT-power arrangement the
Monitor chased the Merrimac about the
edges Of the fountain. day after day for
several years. Always moving just so
fast, the two litsle boats became one of
the attractions CT the Pension Office. All
strangers saw them and stood about and
asked the guards lot of questions And
even the employees OF the building never
tired of taking a look now and then at the
historical event that was reproduced daily
in the fountain basin.

Able to buy Home.

Able to Buy Home.
Mai George Z. Pickett. L. S. A. son
Of the famous Confederate commander
who led the flower Of the Southern
army against the Northern ranks at
Gettysburg, addressed the Spanish
War Veterans of the Fourth Immune
Camp at Costello's Hall last night.
Mai. Pickett began by recalling the
fact that the veterans would soon be
the only remaining society which had
seen war service. and for that reason a
spirit of patriotism and loyalty should
be encouraged among them. This
theme was the substance of his speech.
and he gave many illustrations of the
service which the veterans could do
the country.
Department Commander Mitchell who
visited the camp. assured the men that
In short time the veterans would have
a home Of their own. as a number Of sub
scriptions have already been received.
Commander HObsOn has made a large
donation 10 the fund. and with the money
that is in the treasury a sufficient sum

InvestiEate-Deiieat situation.

The President has served notice that
the open shop principle must prevail in
the machine shops on the isthmus. While
the reports OF strike among the workmen
on the Canal Zone are denied at the Of
fee OF the Canal Commission here, il is
admitted that agitators are constantly
turning up among the men there and en-
deaYoring to uni0nize them and enforce
the closed shop rule. Owing to the firm
stand which the President has taken IN
the matter this has thus far been pre-
vented, but at the same time the labor
situation Is not entirely satisfactory 10
those who have to deal with canal mat
ters
The steamshOyel men. who are at pres
ent making the demands for increased
wages, are organized, and once before
have been in position TO force the gov
ernment 10 increase their pay. Originally
the pay Of the engineers employed on the
steam shovels was s1S5 per month. which
is far in excess of the average rate OF
wages paid them IN the States, and SO
more a month than their union scale. In
addition. they are allowed housing. fuel,
and light.
Demand Second Advance.
At the present time the engineers wages
are $e10. an increase OF ss5 a month hay
Ing been made several months ago. they
are seeking an advance 20 $500 a month.
Cranesmen are now paid s1s5 a month aud
want raise to $50 a month. Firemen
get SS3-33 month. and are asking for
$40
When they cabled to the President sew
eral weeks ago they asked permission TO
send a commission 10 Washington to pre-
sent their claims. The President how
ever, replied that Secretary Taft was soon
10 visit the lsthmus and would investigate
their matter He viii also investigate
other phases OF the labor situation. There
are about sixty steam shoveis In operation
now. and the work of the men employed
upon them and who are seeking more pay
is important Should they go upon
strike, the digging would have 10 stop
until their places could be filed by men
from the States. which would mean sew
eral weeks delay at least.
Situation Somewhat Delicate.
The situation is therefore a somewhat
delicate one, but it is expected that Sec
retary Taft will be able TO adjust It salts
factoriiy. II the demands Of these men
are met by the government, 1t is 20 be ex-
pected that other classes OF laborers viii
ask for more pay, although the attempts
TO unionize all the men has thus far not
been successful, and the President is de-
termined that the shops shall remain
open.
The steam shovel men are employed
eight hours a day with pay and a half
for overtime. but frequently, IL is said,
they are not obliged 10 work a fun day
Of eight hours, but no deduction is made
in their pay on account OF a short day.

Everything is getting along very

Marion won't object to, and that caus-

am for developing our mineral
fields and we can't DO it without rail
roads; neither can we have workshops
and factories without railroads. Much
of this stuff being preached against

just few such men in a town get
things and do things. People are not
going to invest money in town or
community unless the people give
them hearty welcome. Kickers and
calamity howlers are of no advantage

this state with suitable railroad facili
ties and good location for an indus
trial enterprise, but what can get it ii
| the town has in it dozen or more
hustling men. Capital goes where it
is invited and doesn't force itself on
anybody.
Some people cuss out their home
newspaper, not having sense enough
to know it is worth more than any one
other factor in their county. While
may disagree with it in some things,
is that any reason should try to de-
stroy it? None, whatever. But we
have so many people who know better
how to run newspaper than the edi

have more perfect newspapers. Wha
