The squabble between the Moments

it is by no means Imperative. the senior
vice presidency has gone to the candi-s
date presented from the state in which
the convention was held. For that
reason Salt Lake was due to receive
the honor, but the trouble arose as to
which should be recognized OF the two
organizations.

Bureau OF Labor and Printing.
The amount of useful work done by
this bureau is little understood and
appreciated. TT is the only department
that gathers statistics in regard to all
our Industrial and agricultural pur-
suits. and when these statistics are
published and sent broadcast over the
country, they advertise our

way. This bureau also visits
factories and Xamine into labor con-
ditiOns, such as proper hours

tender shall be allowed to take health

and sometimes running their souls. 1t
reports all violations of existing laws
affecting labor, thus trying to bring
about proper relations between labor
and capital. If this bureau had done
nothing else but put the State print
ing on a safer and cheaper basis, this
alone would have more than repaid
the State for all moneys paid out in
maintaining it. | recommended that
the salary be increased to $4,000. as
the Commissioner earns it and IAN

also recommend that the Commission

labor be changed from 66 to so hours

LINCOLN STATUE SITE
RESULTS IN PROTEST
Memorial i'm Union Station is Scored
as Blot by Landscape Ar
fists

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-Protests are
coming in from all parts of the country
against the placing of the national me-
mortal to Lincoln in front of the new
union station, as provided in the Mccall
hin introduced about a week ago, in
stead of at the west end of the mall, at
the east end of which is the capitol,
while the washington monument is IN the
center. This was the plan approved Dy
the park commission.
President Roosevelt, the American In
stitute of Architects and the member OF
the presidents recently appointed coun-
Gil Of fine arts, favor the latter plan. Inc
American institute of architects, in reso-
buttons adopted by it's board of directors,
declares that a vista from the union
station to the capitol should be properly
preserved and that "even a monument
TO properly commemorate Lincoln would
be out of scale with the union station
and would be dwarfed BY 1t.
DR.. P. r. Uhler, director of the Peabody
Institute, says that "a monument paced
subordinate to a railroad station would
be regarded as an abortion by land
scape architects of the first rank.
The New York chapter of the Ameri-
can institute of architects and the Boston
society of architects have passed resolu-
lions indorsing the park commission
plan.
The latter society condemns the Nc
Call bill as "ill-considered, incompetent,
grossly extravagant, contrary to public
interests and its inevitable results derog-
atory to the fame of the national hero
it aims to commemorate"

ROOSEVELT QUITS

COULD HAVE DONE SO WITH
DECENCY.
By Ralph Smith
Especial dispatch to The Journal,


WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-The substance
of the speech made by President Roose-
welt at the dinner to Vice President-elect
Sherman Saturday night became known
today.
Especial interest attaches to anything
the president may say these days, be-
cause his term is fast drawing to close,
and few more public statements will drop
from his lips.
The speech was characteristic. He de-
clared that he had little sympathy with
the public, officer who claims to assume
public burdens reluctantly and leave them
with pleasure. He said such was not the
case with him. He assumed the burdens
of the presidency with pleasure and would
leave reluctantly.
In fact. he said, with a smile, that he
would have hung onto the Office if he
could have done so decently. He stated
that he had enjoyed himself immensely
during the past seven years. He liked
hard work and hard scrap.
you need have no worry about my
future" he said, there is one case where
the nation won't be troubled with the
problem of what is to be done with ex-
presidents.
Mr. Roosevelt declared that he was
abundantly able to take care Of himself
and proposed to do so. Upon his return
from Africa he expects to devote his time
to harmonizing the Republican factions
of New York, but would himself stand
squarely on his own merits as a private
American citizen.

GEORGIA woMA IN SPEECH AT

AUGURAL PARADE. s. ~ ~
BY Ralph Smith

Especial Dispatch to The JournaI)
WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 25.--Mrs.
Mary Harris Armor was the principal
speaker at a prohibition meeting at the
National theatre Sunday night. The au-
ditorium was not crowded, though it was
comfortably filed and the Georgia woman
was given an enthusiastic reception.
Mrs Armor declared that If she had
her way she would have the members of
all the temperance societies of the coun-
try represented in the inaugural parade
and that after the parade she would
make one of the greatest demonstrations
that the capital ever saw against the sa-
loon.
Mrs Armor attacked the personal lib
erty movement and said that the MEM
bers had better be at home, where their
wives needed them, than at the saloons,
where they spent their time and money.
She paid tribute to the memory of Lin
coin, and said he was one of the best
friends the south ever had.
when Mr.. Lincoln sent out his call
for men," said the speaker, 1.-The answer
came back, I'VE are coming, Father
Abraham, 900 strong" and that's the
answer the church is going to send to
the leader of the prohibition forces when
the great army organizes TO march
against the intrenched liquor forces"
Down in the good old state of Georgia,
where 1 belong, there was a time when
it was rather hard work to get any one
to listen to a temperance order, but
things have changed wonderfully down
there. 1t was not so very long ago when
the women of the state compelled the
members of the legislature to sit up and
take notice and when they saw that we
meant business in our fight for prohibi-
ton, they Joined our forces, and the state
today is as dry as dust, so far as the
demon rum is concerned"
