CLERKS.

The salary grab at Jefferson
City could not stand publicity
and so the house of representa-.
tives passed a resolution com.
pelling the clerks to do real work
Or draw no pay. That is welcome
news to the people of the state
who have known of conditions
at the capital.
1t has been the habit of each
representative or senator to ap.
point one clerk to do real work
and make up the rest of his al.
lowance out of members of his
family and generally a news
paper man from his district who
had supported him during the
campaign. The relatives and
newspaper men have been tx
pected to report on pay days for
the purpose of receiving funds.
The poor working clerks have
had to work at night and on Sat
urdays, therefore, while others
drawing the same pay were not
working at all.
This was unfair to the people
of the state and unfair to the
bona-fide clerks. 1t has been
nothing but a steal without just
cause or excuse. tits to be hoped
that the ancient practice will not
be continued.

THE COLUMBUS ROAD.

In most respects Missouri and
Lafayette County are progress
sive, up-to-date and in hourishing
condition. Butthe stateingeneral
and this county in particular are
backward in the matter of good
roads. In would not be right to
put the blame on the people of
the county altogether, for the
soil in this part of the state is
of such nature that maintain
ing a good road requires a great
deal of work. But an improve
ment over present conditions
would be possible.
Its understood that a move is
being made to get the Columbus
road running south of town put
in good condition. This road has
at times this winter been almost
impossible. 1t has caused great
inconvenience to miners going to
and from their work and has lost
the town much businss. 1t has
been bad for farmers, merchants
and mail carriers. Anything
spent in the liking up of this
road will be a good investment

Labor's Fight Against tuberculosis.

No movement is at the present
time more deeply stirring the
ranks of organized labor through
out the United States than the
campaign against tuberculosis.
Politics, strikes, boycotts, and
all other issues are being side.
tracked to make way for the fight
which is to save the lives of
thousands of laboring men.
Meetings are being held and
movements started in hundreds
of cities for the purpose of
stimulating the labor forces to
activity in antituberculosis work.
HISTORY OF MOVEMENT,
This uprising against the
worst foe of the workingmen is
of such recent growth that in
spite of its present magnitude
and daily development, few peo-
ple.are aware of it's significance
and importasce Several years
ago some of the larger national
and international labor unions,
notably the printers and cigar
makers, began an anti-tuber-
culosis movement among their
members. which resulted in the
establishment by the printers
of a sanatorium in Colorado
Springs. Two years ago Mr..
Paul Kennaday, of New York,
spoke before the American
Federation of Labor, and stirred
many Of the other unions to
definite action against tuber-
culosis. This movement ripened
about a year ago, when in
Albany, N. Y. the laboring men
got together and built a pavilion
chiefly for the benefit of their
afflicted members. The mem
bers Of the Central Federated
Union Of hat city, numbering
about 5000, each pay FIVE cents
a month for the maintenance Of
this pavilion. But more than
the pavilion was the interest

SOME RESULTS.
The results of the movement
have been the establishment of
a labor department by the State
Charities Aid Association and a
special lecturer to the unions,
and an effort to enlist the aid
of laboring men throughout the
State in the campaign against
tuberculosis. The American
Federation of Labor, at its re.
cent Denver Convention, adopt
ed resolutions of approval of
the general course followed at
Albany and called upon its afilia-
ted unions throughout the coun-
try to follow this example.
Several of the State Federations
of labor have also urged action
against tuberculosis. The In,
ternational tuberculosis Exhibit,
held in New York City recently,
stirred the workingmen of that
city and Brooklyn to a realiza-
ton of danger and responsibility,
and they, too, recently took
definite action in the warfare a.
gainst this disease. From here
the movement has spread all.
over the United States, until al
most every labor union of any
Importance in almost every trade
is beginning to discuss tuber-
culosis at its meetings. Hart
ford, Conn; Galveston, Tex,
Newark, N. j., s.. Louis, Mo;
San Francisco, CAL; Trenton, n.
j.; Reading, Pa; Bridgeport,
Conn; Boston, Mass, and Phila.
delphia, Pa, are a few of the
cities that are leading in this
effort.
In Connecticut, argel yI
through the efforts of John f.
Gunshannon, a movement has
been organized in Hartford,
Bridgeport, New Haven and sew
eral other cities, through which
the various employers and en-
ployees of the factories are pay
ing for the treatment of their
fellow consumptiyes. Mr.. Cum
shannon 5 plan is to interest each
factory in an effort to care forI
its own consumptives. Sub
scriptions are taken among the
workingmen, and in almost every
case the employer contributes
a sum equal to the total con
tributed by his men. These
various factory units are so
organized into a central body
that the stronger ones are able
to help the weaker. The money
raised goes for the support of
needy consumptive workmen in
tuberculosis sa%natoria.
In this way hundreds Of
factories in almost all of the
large cities of Connecticut have
been organized, and a large mum
Der of sick workingmen and
their families are being cared
for.

FATAL To
LABoRER.

That tuberculosis is particular
~ fatal to the workingmen may
be clearly seen from the fact
that at least one-third of the
deaths during the chief working
period of life are caused by pull
monary tuberculosis. Every
other workman who becomes
incapacitated, must ascribe his
condition to consumption. DR..
Lawrence F.. Flick says:
tuberculosis is peculiarly a
disease of the wageworkers, and
this is so for the very good rea.
son that one of the causes of the
diseases is overwork." In some
trades, such as the metal
polishers, brass workers, and
stone workers, from IS to so per
cent of all deaths are caused by
tuberculosis. Dusty trades are
particularly dangerous.

Lined up side by side. like tents in
soldiers encampment, the cars now
form camp which is maintained by
/, the Ethical Culture society of New
York as summer retreat for its
working girl members. From May
to October these girls are privileged
to enjoy all the advantages of the
camp for $3.50 a week.
The matron in charge attends to
the cooking and superintends the
daily life of the girls. A few girls
working their way through school and
desiring work for the summer are
chosen to help the matron attend to
the cleaning. The most substantial
cars stand in row by themselves
and form the sleeping apartments.
Two cots to room is the average,
but If a third is desired it is added,
although this makes the place pretty
crowded.
The cars are Invested of wheels
and rest on a firm foundation. Both
doors can be kept open if necessary,
as we'll as the windows, thus really
affording as much fresh air as
though the girls slept out of doors.
At distance another group of cars
comprise the kitchen, dining room,
pantry and storehouse. The kitchen
is as neat and convenient as those on
dining cars. A street car is very con-
veniently transformed into a dining
room by leaving the seats intact and
running long table up through the
middle. Close at hand under the
trees stands the ice chest and nearby
cement sink with drain leading to
the stream below the camp. Behind
the cars are a croquet ground and
tennis court.
Throughout the clump of woods
that adjoins the camp hammocks are
swung. where the tired, footsore
shopgfrl may rest in quietness. Not
the least of the charms of this unique
camp is the creek that flows by its
very doors. The clear, sparkling
water is itself an invitation for a
plunge and the girls are not slow to
avail themselves OF the privilege. The
water is not deep, only here and
there of sufficient depth for a swim,
but wading is delight that never
grows old.

THEIR MONEY IN OLD BOOTS.
How Russian Farmers In Kansas Hid
Their Wealth

How Russian Farmers In Kansas Hid
Their Wealth.
Ellis county has more money hid
den in tin cans and old boots than is
deposited in the banks" said Val. Il.
Gross, banker and broker of Hays
City, Kan.
"Old boots are the proper things"
continued the Kansas banker, be-
cause the people who hide their
money in our county, as a rule, have
no old socks to use for that purpose
They do not wear socks. They are
Russians, who have no working knowl-
edge of our banking system, and who
show no disposition to learn much
about it,
"They do their own banking Their
strong box consists of tin can or an
old boot, and their safety deposit vault
Is hole under the barn or in the cell
lar. When they want to buy something
they pay cash for it. When they sell
something they demand the cash and
hide it.
1T is conservative estimate to say
that more than half of the actual cash
of Ellis county is hidden. Our deposits
come chiefly from the Americans.
Comparatively few of the Russians do
any banking business. We have con-
Quoted campaign among them for
years, and some of the younger ele-
ment are beginning to patronize US.
But the old timers are still holding
off. and probably will continue to do
SO for the rest of their lives.
Perhaps 70 per cent Of the people
of Ellis county are Russians. More
strictly speaking, they are German
Russians. Originally they went from
Germany to Russia, and later came to
this country. They are sturdy,
honest people, Industrious, very reli.
gious. and great money savers. AS debt
payers they are celebrated. They
never hide behind the statute of limi-
tation. If Russian buys horse or q
farm he is just as sure to pay for it
as he lives. Mortgages are only used
as protection in case of DEATH"

PROTEST ST. p. GRAIN RATES.
Chicago Claims Discrimination II
Favor of Milwaukee.

Chicago, Illinois.-An alleged eff.
fort on the part of the St. Paul road
to favor the Milwaukee grain market
as against the Chicago market has
aroused one of the disputes of years
between the railroads and the grain
interests. Just as a solution of the
trouble had, it was thought, been
found, it was discovered that 1t would
have the effect of putting the small
elevators in Chicago out of business.
On July 6, 1907, the ST. Paul road
put In a grain tariff which provided
that the rates named will include the
delivery of grain to the boats of the
lake lines at Milwaukee. This tariff
remained in effect two years without
the grain interests of the board of
trade or the competitors of the st.
Paul discovering it's existence.
A short time ago the manager of
transportation of the board of trade
tried to induce the st. Paul to take
out the tariff. The St. Paul owns
elevators at Milwaukee and can haul
grain from the west into the city with
out lue HeCcSSIty OI bringing II thru
Chicago. Therefore 1t refused to can
eel the tariff.
Through the efforts of w. M. Hop
kins, manager of transportation for
the board Of trade, the Rock Island
was induced to place the Chicago mar.
ket on a parity with Milwaukee.
No sooner had Mr.. Hopkins an
nounced the action Of the Rock Island
than the small elevator interests en-
tered determined protest. There are
large number of smaller elevators
which have no lake connections and
which cannot, therefore, secure the
advantage of the Rock Islands allow
ance, which amounts to from IS to
$3.50 per car.

FIRST NAT wEARERs IN EUROPE
Beginning Of the Custom-obliOed by

Beginning of the Custom-oblioed by
Law to Wear WOODEN Cap.
Charles VII, on his triumphant en-.

are told, says the London Chronicle,
astonished the whole city by appear
Ing in q hat lined with red silk and
surmounted by plume Of feathers.
It was the first time the citizens had
ever seen q hat.
From this entry OF Charles into
Rouen the beginning of the custom Of
wearing hats in Europe is dated. 1t
was all very well for the rich citizen
to follow the example of royalty, but
when the clergy began to sigh for
similar splendor it wac regarded as a
falling away from grace. Priests or
religious persons were at last rornid-
den to appear abroad in anything Ca
cept "chaperons. made of black cloth
with decent coronets."
A still more striking development
took place in the sixteenth century.
BY the statute of 13 Elizabeth every
person above the age of seven years,
and under a certain degree. was
obliged on Sundays and holidays to
wear q wooden cap-made in Eng
land-and finished by some Of the
fraternity cappers,' under the penalty
OF 8 shillings fourpence for every
days neglect. They understood how
to support native industries in those
days.
