HARTMAN OPTIMISTIC.

Mr.. Hartman is very optimistic as
to the future of this country. He
declares that business is now on a
sound basis, and that all that is nee
essary is for the farmers and others,
the farmers principally, to realize the
fact. He also declares with empha-
sis that the direct cause of the panic
of 1907 was the decision of Judge
Lands in the Standard Oil cases.
Mr.. Hartman is a powerful factor
in business, in the making and I'M
making of good times, so that any
thing he says on the subject of the
panic is entitled to consideration. If
it is true that speculation brought
about the conditions from which the
country has been suffering for nearly
two years, because an unusual fine
was imposed upon one powerful cor
poFation, it is high time that the
laws of the states and nation are SO
changed as to make it impossible for
a handful of men to bring about so
many business failures, to paralyze
industrial activity, and to cause such
widespread distress and suffering.
1t is indisputable, however, as Mr..
Hartman asserts, that the real basis
of prosperity is the agricultural crops.
If they are bountiful, every branch
of trade should be stimulated; but
the fact that we have had hard times
in spite of abundant crops furnishes
another reason for legislative res
friction of the power for evil which
the stock gamblers WELD.

BIGGER CREWS
PUT TO WORK ON ALL OHIO RIVER
STEAMBOATS,.

Many of the larger steamboat COM
panieS operating along the Ohio Val
ley have increased their working for
ces for the coming summer on ac-
count of the large amount of freight
being handled in addition to the
creditable increase in the passenger
traffic. Increased amount of help
seems to be the slogan in all branch
eS of the river work. This summer
so far has put all previous records out
of the limelight, for the shipments
handled during the past two weeks
has caused some of the companies to
consider the placing of additional
boats in operation. A visit to the
wharf says the Huntington Adver-
tiser, on any morning will show a
large amount of freight being handl-
ed and transferred.
The Pittsburg to Cincinnati boats
have increased their crews by several
men, not only for the handling of
freight, but for the looking after con-
veniences for the comfort of the pass
engerS, as the passenger traffic has
come one of the principal factors of
river craft this season. The smaller
companies have also taken additional
men into their crews, as show by the
packets from Huntington to Ports
mouth and Gallipolis.
On the through steamers the most
of the deck hands are negroes, but
it has been stated that before long
the negro help will be replaced by
foreign labor, as the steamboat own
ers seem to have adopted the idea
that the foreign element can be bet
ter handled and more work done by
them than by negroes. Some few
foreigners have already been employ
ed on the through boats, but the
majority are of the negro race.

B. & 0. MECHANICS
co OUT ON STRIKE-ALL SHOPS IN
VOLVED.

Baltimore, Md, June s.-A gen
eral strike of machinists in all the
shops of the Baltimore & Ohio rail-
road has been ordered 20 take effect
at 9 p. m. today.
This action, it was stated at the
machinists headquarters here today
is the result of the introduction of
the piecework system in the erecting
departments of the Mt. Clare shops,
which led to the strike of machinists
there few weeks ago, and what the
men claim was equivalent to refus-
al of the company at conference
yesterday between Vice-President
Potter and their representatives to
reinstate the Mt. Clare men. About
$50 men employed in the shops at
some IS or ID points along the road
will be affected.
1t is understood that the black
smiths and boilermakers will await
with the company officials on June
IA, for the purpose of considering a
new joint schedule covering working
rules for all three organizations which
are members of the B. & o. depart
tment of the American Federation Of
Labor. The chief points in the new
schedule are provisions tor nine
hour day and an hourly rate of wage,
which virtually means the abolish.
ment ofpiecework. Important points
having shops which the machinists
say will be involved are Baltimore,
Philadelphia, Wheeling and Cleye-
land.

BIG IMPROVEMENTS
FOR THE OHIO RIVER DIVISION OF THE
BIO.

Parkersburg, W. Va, June s.
The Baltimore and Ohio is making
quite number of Improvements on
the Ohio River division between this
city and Huntington, some of which
are of quite an extensive character,
including the relaying of tracks, bal
lasting and filing of the trestles
along that section, and when these
are completed, that end of the divi-
sion will be in better shape than at
any time since the road was first
constructed.
One of the most important i'm
provements to be made will be in
close proximity to the highest tres
ties on the division, short distance
below the mouth of the Little Kama
wha. There are two high trestles
only short distance apart and it is
the shorter and deeper of the two,
located near the Rapp estate, that
will be filed. A long excavation has
been made at the bottom of the ra-
vine for the foundation for one Of
the largest concrete culyerts that has
been constructed on the Hne. The
concrete mixer is already in position
on the top of the embankment along
side the railroad and the material
for the concrete is being delivered.
A chute has been constructed from
the mixer to the bottom of the rayine
under the trestle and the concrete
low in this manner. As soon as the
culyert is completed, the work Of
lllng up the treStle with solid earth
will be commenced and it will be
quite an undertaking on account Of
the depth of the ravine.
However, it will be of permanent
character and all danger will be elm
mated. The high wooden trestles at
that and other points along the line
are source of worry as they re-
quire constant inspection, frequent
repairs and even reconstruction in
order to insure measurable degree
of safety. With the filing of the
trestles heavier rolling stock and
heavier trains can be operated than
at present and for that reason the
improvement will be good invest.

GOING UP.
PRICES OF NECESSITIES OF LIFE AD.
VANCNG RAPIDLY.

Federal District Attorney, Wise,
of New York, has detailed one ofhis
deputies to investigate the charge
that there exists combine among
the wholesale meat dealers doing
business in that city-and they in
clude all of the big packing houses
whereby the price of meat is being
forced up.
Retail merchants have sent him
word that the price has been adyanc-
ed without warrant, that the advance
on the hcof in Omaha has been more
than trebled in this city and that
there is no proof that even that adj
vance was due to any of the scarcity
of cattle. Retail dealers declared
that the advance by the wholesalers
came to them without warning, that
they have only met the advance they
are compelled to pay should not be
held responsible for the high prices
consumers have to pay. This, how
ever, may be so, but the fact re-
mains that following the advance in
the price of meat, FISH and kindred
products went up. Even the smok-
ed goods which usually remain at a
fixed price have risen in value. The
condition is really serious and the
choice cuts and even those of coar-
ser grade are now beyond the pock-
etbook of the workers. As an in
stance, porter house steak is quoted
at es cents pound, sirloin at escts.,
soup and stew meats at 90 cents,
mutton at ae cents, lamb at aScts.
and chickens from so to 40 cents a
pound. 1t is also minated that the
price of ice is to advanced still fur
Their, as soon as the read hot wealth
er sets in.

LAW ENFORCEMENT
NEED OF NATION SAYS JAMES J.HILL
IN STRIKING SPEECH.

Seattle, Wash, June r.-The
greatest service to the nation to every
State and city today, would be the
substitution for term of years of
law enforcement for lawmaking," de-
clared James ]. Hill, in an address
at the opening exercises of the Alas
ka-Yukon-Pacifc Exposition today.
There are four great words that
should be written upon the four cor
ner stones of every public building in
this land, with the sacredness of a
religious rite, said Mr.. Hill. These
watchwords of the republic are Equal
ity, Simplicity, Economy and Just
ice. They are interviewer with every
fiber of the national fabric.
1T demands the repeal of many
laws and the suppression of many of
the bills presented to State and Fed
eral legislatures. So many are there
framed to give to one an undue ad-
vantage or take away from another
fair field and equal Judgment.
We have completed our social
life until natural human intercourse
is overlaid with a thick stratum of
vulgar prodisality, luxury, display
and inSincerity.
We have complicated our law
making until, despite the high stand
ards, the unimpaired traditions and
the continual labors of the courts,
the administration of justice is diff
cult.
We have complicated our fnan-
cirl system until it encourages the
widest speculation at one moment
and at another sinks into business
collapse.
We have complicated our indus
trial organization at both ends of the
scale until the great middle class,
which represents labor uncombined,
a fine energy and modest accumula-
tons of capital, finds many of its
rights invaded or destroyed. And we
eomplicate all these complications by
incessantly passing more laws about
them
Mr.. Hill declared this to be the
most wasteful country on earth in its
administrative features, rs well as in
its treatment of natural resources,
and said that the discarded standard
of economy in its affairs must be re-
stored. The curtailment of FEEDER
al expenses by one-fourth would as
sist not only efficiency in the depart
ments, but reforms now postponed
by the task of raising and the rage
of spending great sums that should
be left in the pockets ofthe people. I"

MISUNDERSTANDING

The first question a man asks
when he sees girl flirting is whether
she is respectable or not; it raises a
doubt at once. This being the case
no modest girl can afford to indulge
in the pastime. When its beauty is
SO marred that it can the bown IS
brushed from a peach never to be
restored, and when a young girl
throws lightly aside that sweet and
modest reserve so becoming to a
maiden, and (which so eleyates her
and enables her to command the
respect of all, she loses the great
charm and becomes rather cheap and
common, to use no rash terms. Flirt-
ing may seem to the giddy and
thoughtless girl wonderfully amusing
and she may get the idea that she is
facinatins, but it is the most degrad-
ing thing that she should be frowned
upon by every young lady who has
an ambition to become worthy and
charming young woman.
Heat new shelled peas in butter
until they begin to fry q little. This

color. Add sufficient water to barely
cover them. Salt slightly. Add a
very little sugar and allow to simmer
until tender. If desired, thicken a
little with corn starch.-June Phys

If you have old rush-bottom or
cane-seated chairs and do not want
to go to the expense of having them
