THE UNIONS JUST DEMAND.

The labor unions of the United
States are making a demand through
widely distributed printed matter that
the government build some, or all of
the proposed new battleships at gov
ernment navy yards instead Of letting
contracts for their construction.
The unions contend, with justice
and truth, that better work is per-
formed by government employees
than by those contractors, for the
reason that contractors pay lower
wages and work men longer hours
and do not secure as excellent work.
manship as the government can Sc
cure by its treatment of workmen.
The government has saved money
in constructing the reclamation pro-
jects by day labor instead of letting
them by contract. 1t has saved
money constructing locks, canals,
public buildings and other public inn
provements by day labor and it
stands to reason that it would save
money by building battleshfps at gov
ernment navy yards by day labor
under supervision of naval experts.
The Connecticut, Evans flagship
on the cruise of the Atlantic fleet TO
Pacific waters, was constructed by
day labor and is the pride of the
navy, Others of this high type could
be built by this system and it seems
that congressman to whom the unions
appeal should at least fully investi-
gate the demands of the unions in
the matter.
The government will save perhaps
$4,000 by the construction of the
Umatilla irrigation project by having
large portion of it completed by day
labor under supervision of govern
ment engineers. If the system is good
in one department it is good for all
others.

Keep Out The Flies.

A great many people are careless about letting
flies into their cook rooms and thru these pests all
manner of disease germs are brot into the house
and MKT with the food.
Flies are scavengers of the lowest sort and
their feet are covered with all manner of filth and
disease They may feed in one place on material
from fever stricken house and fly from there into
kitchen miles away carrying the germs on their
feet.
1t is more important to health to keep the flies
out of the cook room than any other room in the
house for it is from the cock room that germs are
taken into the system in food polluted by flies.
Screen the doors and windows thOrOly and ifeyery
one will do this much less illness will be the re-
suit.

Our interest In The Campaign.

The Fitzgerald Leader is a HOke Smith paper
but the Joe Brown supporters in the city, among
whose numbers is MI. J. H. Harris the principal
owner of the paper conduct from one to two pag-
es each week devoted to the interests of their can
didate. Recently one of the articles appearing in
these columns was a sly attack upon the associate
editor of the Enterprise There is no way of tell
ing who the author of the article is as it was not
signed nor does anyone assume responsibility for
the "Joe Brown Page'' as far as can be seen from
the paper.
Among other things in the article mentioned
was the statement that had "no more than an an
tagonists interest in the campaign"
In reply to that statement / will say that
have an antagonists interests in the gubernatCrial
campaign-and good big one. am antagonistc
to the men and measures that are antagonistic to
my interests as union man. And not mine alone
but to the interests of several million fellow work.
men thruout the United States
am for Hoke Smith now as was before be-
cause he has always been friendly to my interests
which means honest wages, reasonable hours and
an opportunity to live
HOke Smith has demonstrated in years gone
by that he stands for the protection of the work
ing man; his home; his posterty. Hoke Smith
made it possible for the union printers of Georgia
to find a home within the state and gave them en-
couragement ut time when it would have been
to his financial interests to have employed non
union labor. Not only to the printers has ne given
material aid and but to every branch
of labor organized or not. He has always defended
the widow and the orphan of the labOring man in
the courts. He has repeatedly lent his financial
assistance TO the needy ones in distress. And for
reasons such as this he is an hOnary member OF
the union to which belong and would be small
indeed were to turn now against the man who
helped me and my brothers to a betterment of our
condition.
In 1887 and again in 1906 |, among thousands
of others, hung my hat my head and my coat
over my arm and refused to work under the exist
ing conditions which the corporations controlling
the printing industries in the United States asked
us to work. did it for principle-for the rights
of my fellow workmen. And today | have that
same ''antagonistic interest in this campaign"
that had then.
Hoke Smith can be trusted by the laboring
men of the state for he has been tried and not found
wanting-that's THE reason that the corporations
do not want him back again. That's THE reason
why capital is solidly lined up against Hoke Smith,
because THEY KNOW that if Hoke continues in
power the laboripg man will get square deal.
Just because its customary when meeting a
union laboring man to ''show up' give below
reproduction in type of my ''card.

HOW TO MAKE A SIMPLE
 WIRELESS TELEGRAPH.

An efficient wireless telegraph rr- ceiving apparatus for short distances up. ta=I0oo feet may he constructed in the following manner. Attach a watch ease telephone receiver to dry cell or battery of any make. The negative rolc or zine of the cell is connected io a ground wire This k done by at- tachiHg to gas or water pipe. The positive pole or carbon of the cell is connected to the aerial line. This aerial collector can be made in yarf- ous ways. either by using a screen wire or numerous wires made in an open coil and hung in the air. File a V-shaped groove. in tch upper end of the carbon of the cell. Attach small bent cop per wire 10 the binding post that is at tachcd to the zine af the cell. In Inc bend of this wire and the V-saaped groove filed into the carbon lay a nee dle This will complete the receiving station. Use a spark coil in connection with telegraph key for the sending station. making ground with one wire and have the other connected with another aerial line
 By connecting the telephone receiv- CT to the cell and at the same time hay ing short circuit a receiving station is made. As the telephone offers a high resistance. part of the current will try to take the shorter high resistance through the needle. If the waves strike across the needle. the resistance k less and thus less current travels through the telephone receiver. If the wave ceases, the instance between the needle and the carbon is increased and as less current will flow the short way. it is compelled to take the longer metallic way through the windings of the re- ceiyer which will cause the clicking that can be read.

WORK BY
BLOOD HOUNDS
TRACKED CHICKEN THIEVES SEN
EN- MILES AND CAPTURED
THEM.

j. A. Landes went to Littleton last
night on train No. 55 with his hounds
to run down some chicken thieves
that had been operating in that town.
Mr.. Landes returned this morning on
train No. " with his dogs. on his
arrival at Llttieton last night the dogs
were given the trail and ran it about
seven miles, crossing the State line
into Pennsylvania. Two men were
caught who are supposed to be the
culprits. oneo I the men returned to
West Virginia. The other one was
not willing and il his return is effected
1t will be done through extradition
papers for his return cannot be forced
without them.
Mr., Eandes stated that his dogs did
better last night than he could ask
them to do and that their work was
a surprise to all that saw them. The
storm was awful and the pace that
the dogs set'for the men to follow was
very lively one. The men were more
than glad when the chase ended. Mr..
Landes worked out the case and now
1t is up to the people who lost the
chickens. No arrests have yet been
made.
