which were operating II years ago
and which are still in operation, show
an increase in the number OF men
employed In 1907 over those employed
in 1896 of ST. per cent. The hourly
wages increased 20.9 per cent. The
number Of hours per week decreased
60 per cent. Besides in 1896 thous-
ands Of machinists were out of work
Would the favorable con.
ditions of today be possible If the
price of your product were not kept
up by a protective tariff? You would
either be out of work or laboring at
the European scale. No strike to in
crease wages would be effective If the
manufacturer were obliged to sell for
what Europe and Asia do. They tell
you the cost of living is higher, your
wages have increased faster. Send
for copy of the July bulletin of the
.U. S. Labor Bureau. 1t shows that
an hours wages in 1907 would buy
2.3 per cent more ordinary food, such
as beef, pork, bread, and potatoes than

To the day laborer:-you are get
ting about S1.75 or 50 day now, are
you not, and are working every day?
You are reasonably satisfied. are you
not? Your principal concern is how
long freezing weather will hold on.
Do you remember how much you re-
ceiyed in 1896, or were you one of
the great army of the unemployed?
Weren't you pretty glad to get dollar
day and work for at least part of
the week? How much money were
cities and counties spending for pub
lie improvements? Not much, We're
they? And there We're few public
buildings going up. The common la
borer has benefited more by the pros
porous conditions OF the past ten
years than any other class OF work
ingmen. Your wages have about
doubled Maybe some one has been
telling you that it costs more to live.
They're right it noes But your wages
have gone up faster than the price OF
beef. You can buy TOR an hours
wages now, 81 per cent more beef
steak, 20 per cent more wheat bread,
3S per cent more coffee, IL per cent
more rice, ana q per cent more sugar
than you could in 1896.

THE SENATOR FROM IOWA.

The National Tribune, of Washing
ton. d. C., the recognized leading
journal of the country, devoted to
the interests of veteran soldiers and
sailors, says:
The National Tribune is strongly
in hopes that the contest now going
on in Iowa for the seat in the senate
OF the late Senator Allison will result
in the election of Maj. John +. Lacey.
The matter will be settled at the pri-
-maries Nov. Bird. Major Lacey has
very much in him to commend him to
the high consideration of the Iowa
voters. In the first place, he was one
of those gallant youths who helped
make such a signally brilliant record
on the battlefield for Iowa. He enlist
ed first in the Third Iowa, as fine a
regiment as was registered in the
Union army, and rose through all
grades until he came home, still a
boy, a captain and breget Major in
the 33rd Iowa. His military record
was conspicuously good, and his civil
record since then quite worthy of it.
For SO years now he has been before
the Iowa people in various capacities,
and everywhere and all the time has
shown himself clean, faithful, Jealous
and remarkably efficient. He is a
man that has never had to fear the
production of stolen letters or any
other revelations. lie has been pub
lie man that everyone knew where to
find at any given time and that would
be in the right place, saying and doing
the right thing. He was one of the
trainers of the Dingley bill, which
has proved of such benefit to the
country, and his work was with spe-
cial reference to the protection and
development of the agricultural inter
ests. This makes his presence in the
senate exceedingly desirable in the
coming revision of the tariff. The
agricultural interests should have an
able man on guard in the senate, and
they can find no better than Maj. La
cey. The veterans OF Iowa should
support him, because we need COM
rades in the senate. as in the house,
and Mai. Lacey is comrade that
can be depended upon
The Oskaloosa herald., 1908-10-22

choice in this line The mascot of
Major Lacey is Boston terrier bear
ing his name and owned in Iowa Falls,
La. He was sent from Oskaloosa and
owes his name to his owners admira-
ton for the brainy and popular Major.
When his name was given to him he
was very small and the Intelligence
that has since made him noted was
mot then apparent, but 1t was hoped
even at that time that he might prove
to be a mascot to Major Lacey that
would bring him success, and certainly
liz the intelligence OF the animal will
insure the fulfillment of this hope, the
Majors election is certain, for no more
intelligent or quick-witted animal can
be found anywhere. He knows the
times for the delivery of the mail and
watches for the carrier with as much
interest as a person, and upon seeing
him goes to meet him, taking the mail
for the family into the house with as
much care as If he were human. He
drives the cows to pasture half a mile
away and brings them back in the
evening, requiring only that the gate
shall be opened for him. He never
leaves the place unless sent and keeps
the garden free from cats, dogs and
chickens. AS an antagonist he is not
| to be despised, as many dog has
| Learned, and in battle he does not be-
lieve in noise, but in holding on, and
when he takes hold of his adversary
his hold is only loosened by pouring
water down his throat till he Is
lstrangled. Certainly his intelligence
and tenacity make him worthy mas
cot for Major Lacey, as these are con-
spicuous elements in his character.
When the Major is elected to the
senate, as we are sure he will be this
fall, we shall ask him to send this
Iowa Falls mascot of his nice collar
to commemorate the event.

JOHN NJ. PRICE.
Republican Candidate for Member
Board of Supervisors.

Seldom has the Herald had the
pleasure of recommending a more
efficient public servant to the people
of Mahaska county for reelection
than County Supervisor John M.
Price. He is the republican nominee
for member of the board of supervi-
sors to succeed himself for the term
beginning January, 1909.
Mr.. Price is a man of highest in
tegrity, and to attack his character
by connecting him with any affairs In
public or private life which sayors OF
graft or dishonesty is to impeach his
reputation in a community in which
he has been known for almost hall
century as man or the highest type
of citizenship, man clean and up
right, who holds his honor above per
sonal ambition or gain. And his
ability and faithfulness in service
have been thoroughly tested in one
of the most important offices in the
county, where he has given entire

every trust and in many different
ways has rendered efficient public
service without any hope or expecta
ton of personal reward. While Mr.
price has Deen member of the coun
ty board the questions which have
come up for their consideration have
been of the utmost Importance to the
tax payers and citizens of the county
and often perplexing in nature. Tt
think that in every case a decision
which. would be for the best inter
ests Of the county could be giver
without engendering the illwill of
few is folly, and the fact that the

A COMRADES TRIBUTE.

Rev. A. V. Kendrick, formerly pas
tor of Simpson M. E. church OIL Oska-
loosa, and now presiding elder of the
Keokuk district, addresses the follow
ing letter of appreciation to the Keo-
kuk, Gate-City:
I'm the Gate City of Thursday note
the write-up of John r. Lacey and
1.-THE reasons given why he should be
elected United States senator in place
of the late Senator Allison. One ref
erence to his military career greatly
impressed me. 1t was the account OF
the killing OF his horse at the battle
of Prairie D'Anne, ARK, April 10,
1854 ~ .. - -~zt
"At- 4:45 p. m, we advanced upon
the enemy stationed on long ridge
running the entire length of this lit
tie prairie. As we emerged from the
heavy pine timber in close column
| by divisions, We passed directly i'll
front of rebel battery which opened
fire on us, killing one of our men.
The same shell killed Lieutenant
Lacey's horse as he rode at the head
of our advancing line.
Lieutenant Lacey was the ideal as
well as the real staff officer. He was
as straight as an indian. His face
was as smooth as the palm of your
hand, and his hair as black as the
ravens wing. He rode his horse with
perfect poise, and with the dash and
daring of the true soldier. l saw him
a number of times under fire and al,
ways the same cool, yet intrepid sol
der. When the Iamented General S.
A. Rice received his death wound at
the battle of Jenkins Ferry, Ark
April 80. 1864. Locey led the generals
horse from the battlefield with the
wounded general leaning over the
pommel of his saddle. / can never
forget that sight. l wish to ask of the
old soldiers that you send this hon
ored citizen-soldier to the United
States senate.

MAR ON LARGE HATS.

Boone, Oct. 20.-The ministerial as
ISOLATION of this city has taken up, by
request, the matter of women's hats,
and in the support of their side OF the
question, quote scripture. The minis.
tiers do not demand that the ladies re-
move their headgear while in church,
but they suggest that the various
women's organizations of the churches
take up this matter, discuss it thor
oughly, and then act upon it. The min
listers state in their resolutions, that
the people in the rear of the church
desire to see, just as well as those In
the front rows.

mics among the minority is a high
compliment for their administration.
If any mistakes have been made, to
accuse the individual members of the
board of violation of their trust lis
to do an irreparable injustice to men
who have ever done what, according
to their knowledge and judgment, mas
been for the best interests of their
constituency,
Mr.. Price has been q resident of Ma
baska county for nearly fifty years,
although he is a native of Wales and
in that country learned the trade OF
stone cutting, which he has followed
through life. When he moved to
Beacon, forty years ago, there was
considerable demand for his services
as stone cutter and mason and he
quickly worked up a business which
has been pressing him for time ever
since. Practically every important
structure in the county which includ-
ed any stone construction, bears evil
dence of his skillful workmanship.

erVision of the stone work is the Cen
trail Methodist Episcopal church of
this city. Mr.. Price, laid the first
stone and likewise the last one in
that magnificent structure, and he
also cut the stone for the Second ward
school building. For the past twelve
years he has made his nome in this
city, residing in a coy home on North
Fourth street, where he is surrounded
by a most estimable family.
Throughout his life Mr. Price has
been a close student of current affairs
and his service on the board has Civ
en- him an insight into matters which
has made his services of great worth
to the county. He has been able to
save the county in many instances
considerable unnecessary expense
and in the economical manner in which
he has conducted the affairs under his
supervision he has saved the tax
payers many times the amount he has
received for his services. His place
on the board of supervisors could not
be filled so capably by any other man
in the county, and his reelection on
November 3rd by large majority
would be but a recognition of merit
which is richly deserved. ....

Every republican in Mahaska
county should vote or every candl'
date on the county ticket. Two years
ago, while we were engagd in little
family quarrel, the democrats slippd
in and occupied two county offices
and now republicans are being asked
to vote for them again because they
have had one term and are entitled to
another. We fail to see wny. Doubt
less they are all good men, but GER
tainly no better than the republican
candidates and not nearly so well en-
titled TO the votes of republicans. A
democrat should be mighty glad to
have one term in county as strongly
republican as Mahaska.

The Episcopal church of oskalooss

The Episcopal church of Oskaloosa
is again without rector. Rev. w.
w. Fleetwood. who recently came to
st. James parish, received an offer
from ogden, Utah. The place and
the church being SO much larger and
the opportunities SO much greater
than anything the local parish could
offer or do for the rector, lie vestry
decided to accept Rev. Fleetwood j
resignation. The parish is loath to
have their pulpit again vacant but
under the circumstances, in justice TO
themselves and to the minister w..o
has been with them so short a time,
the action taken was considered to
be best for all concerned.
Upon the request of Bishop Morri-
son the stated missionary collection
OF the church for the state fund was
taken up Sunday. The Episcopal Sun
day school pupils made an exception
ally fine record, contributing no less
than FIVE dollars to the fund. The col
lection in the church amounted 10
over twenty dollars.
