The -AYenne theater was packed 10

man present being there in hopes Of
seeing the sensational 'Salome'
dance. The imitation presented ' as
exceedingly tame, and yells of deri-

house The dancer was sufficiently
clothed to have satisfied even An.
thony Comstock. and the dance was
little more than the ordinary toe
dance The balance OF the show was
excellent. The Tiger Lilies are d
lively bunch. good TO look upon, beau

EARLE RISES WITH
SUN To TALK To
FACTORY HANDS
MAKES EARLY MORNING TOUR
SPEAKING TO MEN BEFORE
THEY GO TO WoRk-PoPuLAR
WITH AUTOMOBILE WORKERS.

Getting up with the milkmen. Ho-
ing at Detroit factories. Monday morn
ing. before the dew was fairly Off the
lass.
I'm the Detroit candidate for gov.
hled at various places to hear him,
and | get up early enough 10 talk
with the workingmen."
Then he told the little knots OF men
whom he met on their way to WORK
Just how Ire feeis ON the state issttes
which ne has brought up ia his plat
form
A two-seated buggy was the vehicle
from which he spoke and the novelty
OF candidate for high Office com
ing direct TO them at such an early
T ftour attracted the attention of-the
tfeit- Vine heard hiiii,=
His speech was always BRIEF.
II know YOU want 10 get To wort,
| and | have other places TO speak,
he. told his hearers.
The first speech made was al the
Cadillac automobile factory Quite
"A number OF men had grouped about
the door before going in to work and
others joined them from inside the
factory. Earle did not discuss the
GLACIER scandal or attack Gov. War
ners record. but devoted himself 10
the subject OF good roads.
Il would have the hardened Grim
inals confined In the states prisons
put at work crushing stone TO be used
in making good roads he declared
That would take convict labor out
OF competition with free labor in the
trades such as making brooms and
cigars.
1T would mean good roads and
greater prosperity for the state
The automobile men listened re-
spectfully and many of them tipped
their hats as he drove away.
Good roads means more automo-
biles." said one workman.
At the Briseoe manufacturing plant
on Woodward-ave.. Earle found sew
eral men wearing his good roads"
buttons. These do not bear his pic
ture.
You did not know you were wear
ing homely mans button did you?'
said Earle jokingly.
His speech here was a brief one
also and was accompanied by dis
-tribution- of-batteas- -and--eiEeulaFs
bearing his platform. Other talks
were made in the Milwaukee juno
ton district.
Noon Earle meetings took place at
the busy corners near the Burroughs
Adding Machine Co.'S plant and the
automobile factories OF the north end
The automobile men have taken up
Earle's cause lately in very enthu-
siastic manner and 1t is probable that
the Ford plant will shut down some
what earlier on enrolment and prim-
airy days to allow OF the men voting
for the good roads candidate without
inconvenience.

IMpRovING RURAL SCHOOLS.

There are many I'm Oconee county
who will regret to learn that active
work for the Improvement OF the ru-
raj schools has been, temporarily at
least, suspended so far as the reguIur
Organization is concerned. The state
ment comes from those In authority
that the work has met with so little
sympathy in this county that 1t is
deemed advisable to withdraw from
active work here for The present AS
a result no organizer or othor officers
have been chosen to carry on the
work as heretofore.
We are probably not in q position
to judge the situation inteIligently,
but on it's fact this action seems to
us not entirely the proper mode of
procedure, In reality, as we see it,
the first and most important work for
sucn an organization Is the creating
of sentiment, then enlisting Of SYM
pathy, then active work. 1t may be
questioned whether the fault, If fault
there be, lies not in the fact that ac-
tive work was begun before the pro-
per foundation was laid. Be that as
1t may, we doubt If any county in
South Carolina has made more rapid
progress in rural school work during
the past ten years than has Oconee-
and this, too, In face of the too appar-
ent fact that our schools are yet far
from the ideal.
In spite Of the withdrawal Of active
support from the State organization.
we do not believe the real work o.
imp -ovement will be stopped or eve.
hindered. The people of
Oconee have become too alive to the
to allow this fact to en-
ter as a hindrance to their progress
The work should be pushed with even
greater zeal. ..

SPEAKER CANNON
Makes Two Speeches Opening Repub
Ican Campaign in Kansas.

Independence, Kas.. Sept. 10
Speaker Joseph G. Cannon. of the Ma
tional House of Representatives, made
two speeches today here, at the open
ing of the Republican state campaign
in Kansas. At the afternoon meeting
at the auditorium, Mr.. Cannon said
he had been accused of being a stand
patter Two years ago he and Con-
gresham Champ Bell of Kansas had
a conference with President Roosevelt
and the President insisted that then
was no time to bring on tariff fight
in Congress, that it should be STAYED
off until conditions were more favor
able. He (Cannon) helped to stave off
and yet he is the only one to get the
blame. AT the night meeting Speaker
Cannon made defense of the House
rules. declaring that the rules of the
present House have been substantially
the rules of the House under the con-
troll of all parties for more than
generation.
