THE CRITTENDEN RECORD PRESS
goes to its 4, 900 readers this week
under a change Of ownership and
and under new editorial management,
n. 4. Gaines having leased the
plant from S. NJ. jenkins for the
term of II months, with the privilege
aud expectation of buying at any
time during this period. The new
Editor, while a stranger to many of
you, comes from the good old town
of Sturgis, in the proud and rich
county of Union to a town and coun.
ty inhabited by as true and loyal citi-
Gems as can be found in the Common
wealth Of the time-honored State Of
Kentucky, to cast his lot with them
for ever and aye. The aim Of the
Editor will be to devote his whole
time and energy in an effort to make
the RECORD. PRESS second to no
county paper in the State, and above
al, to protect the interests of the
people of Crttenden county. Its
politics will be Democratic and yet
realizing the fact that the good Re-
Iublicans Of the proud old county Of
CrittendeD, have no party organ, its
columns will be open to them for
iAir deal. In no instance will an
article from either side be accepted
that is calculated to stir up strife or
"a ut clean. II man gets the
idea 10 his head that he Is bound to
raise III, let him do so in his own
neighborhood, at home and not
through the columns of the RECORD
PRESS. In leaving my native coun-
ty, Union, where l have friends
love with the love that Jonathan had
for David and where my sweet moth
err sleeps the long sleep in the light
Of the same sun that warns and
makes bright and glad the hearts of
Gods people every where, l do SO
with the full knowledge that | am
casting my lot with as proud and
loyal people as live under the banner
of Old Glory and to this people l
take off my hat. In casting my eye
about for good town l found none
that suited me so we'll as Marion,
and here, for veal or woe l cast my
lot with her proud people and to
stand loyal to them and the citizen
ship of Crittenden in their struggle
for right and supremacy.

cause "a men we're standing out for
Eve or six preferred runs--not that
they wanted them so much for them
selves, but because they didn't want
other employees of the company to
have them-the parents of these
babies would not take them out rid
ing, These three instances are from
the observation of one physician.
There may have been many others.
The loss Of these three babies was
pretty severe sacrifice to sympathy
for men who refused to return to
work because they could not Dust five
or six crews of old employees from
the five or six preferred runs they
had. Wasn't It?
Now, the dangerous period OF the
summer is yet to eome-the last half
of July aud the month Of August.
How many more babies are to be sac
rifced to this boycott which can new
err result IN anything. 1t can never
give these men the five or six prefer
red runs. Change the rosy checks
If every coolDg, dimpled baby in this
city to fine deathly pallOr and the
drawn, and wasted :look and nothing
would come of it. Why then keep
up this awful, useless sacrifice?
1t is on the poor people that the
boycott rests hesvily-not upon those
with automobiles, ard horses and
buggies. And it is on the women
and babies-not the strong men. Is
the sacrifice worth while?
The strike, as a strike, is at an
end. All that remains is the boy
colt. Any talk of settling the
strike" is childish. As was said in
The Courier Wednesday;
Any further talk of settling the
strike" should be put in its true light
as mischievous. No good or honest
purpose can be behind any such sug-
gestion. 1t can only be with the
object of Offering false hopes or o
fomenhng trouble.
This issue is not now the atrike,
but the boycott. That is all there is
left. And the boycott affects the
very people who can least stand it.
1t has cut of for them their amuse-
ment parks, their places for getting
away from the summer heat, their
cheap and convenient method Of gain
ing fresh air and escapement from
dust and worry. 1t has imposed
burdens on working people who al
ready have onerous enough burdens.
The employer may drive home in the
cool breeze, but the little stenograph-
err and the clerk must trudge the hot
ami dusty streets and all TOO often
because her emplOyer-God pity him
thinks it will help his business.
The issue is not now the strike,
for that is ended, but the boycott
which is causing infinite hardship
and cannot by any possibility have
any result EVANSVILLE COURIER.
We say Amen to this. We have
seen enough of strikes and boycotts
to know the affects and better still 10
know the class most responsible for
their evil results.

MONUMENT TO CAPTAIN JOHN
SMITH,

The annual excursion of the Associa-
ton for the Preservation Of Virginia An
tquities from Richmond to Jamestown
island was sigualized yesterday by the
unvsiliug of the only pretentiOus monu-
ment in existence to the memory OF
Capt. John Smith.
The monument, which is constructed
of Virginia granite, was unveiled by
Joseph Bryan, third aou Of Mr.. and Mrs.
j. st. George Bryan, of Richmond, and
grandson of the late Joseph Bryan, who
vas for many years president of the as.
sjciation and who was the donor of the
memorial shaft. The monument stands
directly 10 front OF the remodeled James
town church, the old brick tewer OF
which is all that now remains of the
town founded there 30l years ago by
Smith aud bis colonists.
The day selected for the unveiling was
the anniversary of the landing OF the
coionists who formed the nucleus of the
nation and the planting Of the English
Dag on the American continent.
The unveiling took place Immediately
upon the sriivsl OF the steamer PocahOu-
las, bearing the excursionists, at the
jamestown wharf. Rev. Oorbin Brsx-
ton Bryan, D. d., Of Petersburg, opened
the ceremonies with prayer. The presen-
tstion address was delivered by Almond
Blow, Of Belleville, Gloucester county.
J. Taylor Elfyson, lieutenant governor
Of Virginia, received the monument i'm
medately after the veil was drawn by
the namesske OF the man whose persona
efforts made the monument possible.
The speakers were introduced BY
Mayor ID. O. Richardson, of Richmond
The monument WAS erected aud ws'
to have been unveiled on the same day
two years ago, when very elaborate Ger
emonies we're to have been held in con
uection with the jamestown Exposition
but it was found necessary to postpon'
the unveiling indefinitely.
The plot of ground on jamestown
island, owned by the association, ha
been set aside for the Preservation o
Virginia Antiquities. The old church
the frat English place Of worship erected
on this continent, was rebuilt prior Il
the jamestown Exposition in 1907.
The lines of the town founded b.
Smith are being preserved as far as pos
sible. A sea wall hiss been coustructt'
to protect the island from the encroach
ment of the james river, which has al
ready eaten away considerable portion
of il.
