Three Furnaces Will Be Rebuilt Entirely and Big Metal
 Mixer Installed
SEWERS WILL
 DRAIN GROUNDS AT PLANT
New Electrical Repair Shop, Chemical Laboratory and Coal and Coke Laboratory Are Also
 Authorized.

President George G. Crawford of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad com pany, announces that the following inn provements are authorized and that work will be begun at an early date
 The three old furnaces, Nos 3, and 2, at Ensley, will be replaced by new fur naces in the same location and in the order named.
 In the open hearth department a 6OO- ton metal mixer will be installed.
 In the electrical department a new electrical repair shop will be built and a 200O Kilowatt generator driven by a compound engine will be installed.
 A new chemical laboratory will be built
 A sanitary sewer will be constructed to improve the sanitation of the plant.
 A new coal and coke laboratory will be built for the Pratt field.
 Most of the above improvements are included in the development plans which President w. E. Corey of the United States Steel corporation decided to recom- mend to the executive committee as a result of his inspection of the Tennes- see companys properties last spring.
 The work of replacing three old blast furnaces by new furnaces of large and modern type will of itself mean a big expenditure, but this development will be only a beginning of the vast ex- pansion that the company has in view. With the three furnaces designated re- built the Ensley division will have a great plant of six pig makers, unsur- passed in modern design by any like number in this country.
 The Tennessee company's steel mill made splendid records in August, and it is understood that new high records are being made this mnoth.

of the adjourned term, Judge Wnd-
dill did so with due regard for the

suit of clothes from man who re-
fused to work for me-
whats the reason you folks are
passing me along to another tailor
| asked. DO look hard to fit? Are
you afraid you won't get your money
The tailor explained that neither of
my guesses was correct. He declined
to make my clothes simply because |
am clergyman and require a clerical
cut. He let me down easily by stat
ing further that he never undertook
to make ecclesiastical garments, that
very few of the lay taiors in New
York do undertake them They d.
not have enough of that kind of work
to keep them constantly Informed on
the requirements Of the different re-
ligiouS orders. \ mistake would be

American Industries, ga intensely
| cred that the labor vote in the Unit
ed States will be cast for the demo-
cratic candidate for president con-
soles itself by charging that the la
Dor vote amounts to little more than
, nothing. That paper says: From a
careful compilation based upon the
vote OF previous elections it is con-
vincingly evident that the tendency
of the vote of organized labor may
be properly .classed as independent,
and free from the dictation or the
influence of the American FEEDER
alton yof Labor except in isolated
cases. Time and again radical lead
ers, with platforms more radical
than themselves, have attempted to
corral the organized labor vote in a
unit by holding out fictitious prom
Uses, but in each case where such
conditions arose in national politics
the labor vote has made poor
showing. Arguing from the stand
point of votes. cast in previous cleo
tons it is impossible to determine
any appreciate influence of any So
called labor vote" In the very
states where labor organization lines
are most strictly drawn, the history
of many elections has nrOVed that
the greatest surprises have occurred
at the polls and directly accreditable
TO the laboring vote which was sup
posed to be lined up for an opposite
result" In the meantime the demo-
cratic party appreciates the conf
dence of the faboring masses and

BANK GUARANTY IN THE
PLATFORM.

The panic of 1907, coming with
out legitimate excuse, when the re-
publican party had for 4 : decade
been in complete control Of the fed
eral government, furnishes addition
al proof that it is either unwilling
or incompetent to protect the inter-
ests of the general pubic. 1t has 50
linked the country to Wall street
that the sins of the spectators are
visited upon the whole people. When
refusing to rescue the wealth pro-
ducers from spoilation at the hands
of the stock gamblers and specula-
tors in farm products, it has deposit
ted treasury funds without interest
and without competition in favorite
banks. 1t has used an emergency,
for which it is largely responsible,
to force through congress bill
changing the basis of bank currency
and inviting market manipulation,
and has failed to give to the 49,
10000 depositors of the country
protection in their savings.
We believe that in so far as the
needs Of commerce. require ansemer-
gency currency. such currency
should be issued, controlled by the
federal government, and loaned on
adequate security to national and
state banks. We pledge ourselves to
legislation under which the national
banks shall be required to estab-
lish a guaranty fund for the prompt
payment of the depositors of any in
solvent national bank under an
available to all state banks wishing
to use it.
We favor postal savings bank,
if the guaranteed bank can not be
secured, and that it be constituted
so as to keep the depoSitsf money
in the community where it is estab-
lished. But we condemn the policy
of the republican party in proposing
postal savings banks under plan
of conduct by which they will ag-
gregate the depositsa-ef rural COM
munities and redeposit the same,
while under government charge, in
the banks of Wall street, thus de-
pleting the circulation medium of
the producing region and unjustly
favoring the speculative markets

MONEY IN OLD BOOTS.
More Than Half of the Actual Cash
of Ellis County, Has, Is Hidden

Of Ellis County, Kas., Is Hidden
Ellis county has more money
hidden in tin cans and old boots
than is deposited in the: banks, !"
said Val E. Gross, banker and bro
ker of Hays City, Kas., at the Riggs
House yesterday. q
"Old boots are the proper things
continued the Kansas banker, be-
cause the people who hide, their
money in our county, as rule, have
no old socks to use for that purpose.
They do not wear socks. They are
Russians, who have no working
knowledge of our banking system.
and who show no disposition to
learn much about it.
They do their own Banking.
Their strong box consists of a tin
can or an old boot, and their safety
deposit vault is a hole under the
barn or in the cellar When they
want to buy something they pay
cash for it. When they sell some
thing they demand the cash and hide
it.
1T is a conservative estimate to
say that more than half of the &C
tual cash of Ellis county is hidden
| Our deposits come chiefly from the
Americans. Comparatively few OF
the Russians do any banking bust
ness. We have conducted a cam
paign among them for years, and
some of the younger element are be-
ginning to patronize us. But the old.
timers are still holding off, and
probably will continue to do so fol
| the rest of their lives.
Perhaps 70 per cent of the peo-
| pie of Ellis county are Russians
| More strictly speaking, they are
| German-Russians. Originally they
i went from Germany to Russia, and
later came to this country. They are
sturdy, honest people, Industrious
VERY religious, and great money sa
vers. AS debt payers they are cele
brated. They never hide behind thu
statute of limitation. If a Russian
buys a horse or a farm he is sure tt
pay for it as he lives. Mortgages arr
only used as protection in case O
death.
These foreign-born citizens O
America take the deepest possible
interest in public questions and the
politics of the day. They are almos
to a man republicans, and will vote
for Taft and the rest of the republi
can ticket. 1t would be folly for Bry
ans managers to try and capture
this Russian republican vote, as i
has been tried again and again, only
to be met with failure.
kansas will go for Taft with {
big majority, but l don't mean tt
say that he will not have to figh
for it. Bryan is going to put up the
fight of his life, and he never wa.
SO strong and popular in the Wes1
and in Kansas as he is now. If the
election were held today I hardly
know which side would bet on. -
