Iron County register. [volume] (Ironton, Iron County, Mo.) 1867-1965, 1908-07-23

Several of the Democratic news
papers of this part of Missouri have
taken upon themselves the task, of
late, of debating to the members of
the Democratic party which band
wagon they shall climb into. No
table among these papers are the
Chillicothe Constitution, George
CreePs Ne,Vsbook, and the James
port Gazette, whose principal busi-
ness seems to be to advise and or
der all Democrats to climb into the
Folk band wagon. 1t is a notable
fact that each one of these organs
which so arrogantly orders the
Democrats to climb into his band
wagon is a beneficiary of Govern
or Folk, and no doubt draws in
spiration from that fact. 1t is all
right for newspaper man to ac-
cept office under a Democratic gov
ernor or any other governor, for
that matter, but the fact that he
does do so should not rob him of
his independence and cause him to
become a fawning sycophant.-
The fact that he holds an Office
which pays him few dollars or a
large number of dollars each year
through the generosity of Govern
or Folk or any other governor,
should not cause him to lose his
manhood and become groveller.
AS an example of utter subservien-
cy and abject foot licking the three
publications above mentioned are
certainly shining marks.
And Southeast Missouri, too, is
blest with the song of the cuckoo,
who claims all seasons, weathers
and conditions for his own. 49,.

Test cross-Tis Preservative With
Which q. & o. viii Experiment

There is every reason to expect that
extensive improvements via be made
at the Baltimore and Ohio railroad
shops in this city that viii place
them among the most important along
the entire system. There was a time
when the sound of the hammer, as
the rivets We're driven into the bolt
ers on the engines there for repairs.
could be heard for blocks and large
force of hands were kept at work
both day and night. That sound is
only remembered, however, by those
who have resided here for a quarter
OF a century or more. The younger
generation know nothing OF the big
force OF men that came bounding out
of the shops when the quitting hour
was sounded. The payroll in those
DAYS was large. and it was blow to
this city when the shops We're closed
and the sound of the hammer was
heard no more.
Two Of the buildings have peen
used for some years past The frogs
and switches, used by the company
are all made here and the bridge re-
pair work is also done here.
1t is now learned on excellent au-
thority that the chief engineer OF the
maintenance Of way department, Mr.
Al. w. Thompson. has been preparing
plans for some time by which the
shops here viii be converted INTO the
best equipped maintenance of way
shops in the United States. The first
addition to the work being done here
| at present will he tin shop. Later
will come the scale department and
the repairing OF all Aand cars used
| on the system.
The first work done in the tin de-
partment will be the making of sew
eral large tanks which the company
viii use in an experiment With tie
preservative.
What additional men will be requir-
ed at the shops is at present only
matter of conjecture. But 1t is CON
fidently predicted that if Mr.. Thomp'
son is able to carry out his plans
the force will be greatly increased
This increase will come gradually, but
those who are i'm touch with t.ie mat
ter predict that within a few years
the works here will be among the
largest along the line.
All this additional work will come
under the supervision OF Mr.. 2. T.
Brantner. who is now at the head OF
the shops here.

Turned From Its Course.

This sewer is one of the biggest I'M
dertakings that the corporation has en-
gagged in recent years, but will be vel
worth the heavy cost.
