DAVENPORT MACHINISTS

DAVENPORT, Ia, Dec. 3.-The
strike of the machinists, boilermakers,'
blacksmiths and other trades at the
plant of the Davenport Locomotive
Works, in this city, which has been
on for two months, Is still'being main
tanned.
Although the company has been
trying to replace the striking mechan-,
les, the attempts have proved fall
ures and the chances for. favorable
settlement in the near future are good.

the fact that Thanksgiving was a
cherries day in Ludlow, few of the
$500 strikers, having sufficient to eat,
the Ludlow Manufacturing associates
are going ahead with their plan to
evict strikers who occupy company
houses.
Fifteen company houses were emp
tied of their contents and their occu-
pants were ordered to seek shelter
elsewhere.
The strikers, who left the COM
panys lutte and hemp product mills
late in September as protest against
new system of work, which meant
lower wages for them, announced that
they intended to appeal to the town
to provide habitations for their fam
lilies turned out of the company's
buildings.
Three hundred armed watchmen
patrol the plants. According to Lud-
low citizens these men insult women
and girl members of strikers families
and lose no opportunity to incite
strikers they meet to overstep the law.
volver shots into a crowd of strikers
and was held in bonds of $500. "A
striker threw stones and is held in
bonds of $1,000.
Attention is attracted to the strike
by the fact that the Ludlow Manu-
featuring associates have conducted a
notable experiment in paternalism,
furnishing employees, in the language
of one of the strikers, with every
thing they need except real money"
According to recent illustrated mag
azine articles the Ludlow operatives
have been about the. most contented
individuals in the United States. The
articles failed to state that the \em-
ployes, both men and women, posed
for their pictures under protest.
The strike is against a wage cut.

having been intoxicated: the same quantity
will satisfy them day after day.
In the ante-bellum period, thousands of
"Southern gentlemen" took their three drinks,
regularly, every day, and never more than
three. In Scotland, the ''night-cap" was in
winter a necessary part of the process Of 60
ing to bed, the hot toddy being the daily
custom of men who never touched whiskey at
any other time.
But when did anybody ever start to drink
ing Coca Cola and then easily quit? Who
that takes three drinks per day will be able
to keep the limit there? When the habit is
formed, how is it to be shaken off?
One of the considerations which adds to the
enormous sums paid for TERRITORY" is, that
when once the CocaCola dealer sells a bottle,
he has got a1customer. That man, or that
woman is dead sure to come again, and keep
on coming.
In the Report Of the Homes Commission
appointed by President Roosevelt, Coca Cola
is included in the list of harmful drinks.
We hope that Mr.. Moss will fortify him
self with facts showing the havoc caused by
this poisonous tipple-a drink which skaters
the nervous system, ruins the stomach, impairs
the brain and undermines the morals of it's
victims.

Mr.. Moss and COca-COla

We rejoice in the spunk of the legislator
who has begun fight on Coca-Cola in Geor-
gia. That State which has driven John
Barleycorn to the tall timber should patiently
tolerate more deadly foe to our future, is
passing strange.
The ravages of Coca Cola are greater and
more far-reaching than whiskey. The habit
in the case of the drug is harder to throw off
than that of alcohol.
A man may get drunk once, and never
again. Or he may be topper for years, and
then quit for good. Even confirmed wine
drinkers may go through life without ever

but somehow or other, can't escape the i'm
preston that the cause of Christ is not bene-
flied greatly by the publication of certain
communications which appear in his paper
Take that letter of Rev. r. M. Archibald as
an examples docs the circulation of such
clerical writings tend to increase the respect
of the common people for their spiritual
guides? Men like Brother Archibald ought to
delight in setting good example. They are
expected to be patient, forbearing, kind and
charitable. Where their sense Of Christian
duty compels them to correct publican and
sinner like me, they should do it LOVINGLY
striving to win me to the truth, as they see it.

sonings which convince
1t is not nice OF the ministers of the Gospel
to indulge in personalities and abuse
Ii Mr.. Archibald differed from me on the
question under discussion, that was all right,
the world is wide enough to give us separate
paths; but was it Christ-like in him to insin-
uate that, had been in possession of the mis-
sionary funds, would have stolen them?
Did the alabama Christian advocate adj
vance the cause of Christianity when it print
ed letter which contained substantially the
same obscene alluslon which compelled Con-
gresham Joe Cannon to stink off into retire
ment until his offense could be forgotten?
No man has higher respect for the right
type of clergyman than I have always had
The dear old teacher who first lit the flames
of deathless ambition within me was Baptist
minister. Some of my truest, best loved
friends are Methodist preachers. The trustee
whom [ have named in my will to look after
the interests of my grandchildren, when I
shall have crossed the river, is a Baptist
preacher, one of natures noblemen
Surely, then, no one can truthfully say that
[ have any prejudice against ''the CLOTH. The
right type of preacher, doing the right work
in the right spirit is of the salt of the earth,-
bringing balm to wounded souls, sympathy to
the forlorn, inspiration to the discouraged,
light to those that dwell in darkness, hope to
the bowed and bent and broken.
And should one of these preachers take
hand in the discussion of foreign missions,
you will read something which will be as diff
ferent in tone and spirit from the Archibald
and Norton letters as health is from disease.

these lie a00S opposed to the general reduc-
ton Of rates that aOOuzd haze benefited THE
qUb0Ie State.
That was in 19O4-5. At that time, Mr..
Hole Smith had no idea of RUNNING for Co..
eqroor. At that time Pope Brown was the re-
form candidate A few months later, Pope
had been 'tricked', and Mr.. Hoke Smith was,
somewhat awkwardly, wearing brand new
suit of political garments which had been cut
out for somebody else.
Then, and not till then, did Mr.. Smiths de-
mand for port rates, beneficial TO the State at
large, sound, resound, echo and reverberate

dleton's own village, where the fervld Macon
Platform was brought forth.

fance and hurled thunderbolts.

of Georgia shall take immediate action upon
these important matters' etc.

necessity for a reduction of rates from our
seaports to and from all interior points, etc.
owe condemn these excessive and discrimi-
mating port rates as UNI ust, and we demand
the Immediate righting of these wrongs by
the Railroad Commission. And so on.
Could words be more emphatic? Could
promises be more explicit? Could plan of
action be mapped out more plainly, more
definitely?
But these were words,-nothing but idle,
frothy, deceptive words. Mr.. Hoke Smith
had not undergone any real change Of heart.
He was not in favor of general horizontal
reduction OF seaport rates any more than he
had been when he spurned the "Grifin propo-
sition" of 19O4-5.
Why do [ say so? Because there IS no other
explanation u11der he0ve1o that eDpzai11s aOby
Governor Hohe Smith did nothing qohatso-
ever to carry out his campaign and PLATFORM
pledges.
By August, 1907, he had his new Corpora,
tions law; he had his new Commission of
five; he had his rate expert, and his Commits
sion attorney: he had got all that he asked for
IN the qcay Of tools to qO0rb qOith. WHY
DIDN'T liz DO THE WORK? WHY
WAS IT THAT He DID NOT EVEN
TRY? Why was it that seaport rates did not
seem to enter his thoughts?
When Clark Howell got after him in 1909,
it was already too late for Governor Smith
himself to complete the job of making an ex-
animation and general reduction of seaport
rates. But at the time when the JEFFERsoNIAN
reminded him of this unredeemed pledge and
urged him to begin the work it was not too
late.
In the summer and fall of 1907 I did my
best to get Governor Smith to take up the
matter of reducing these unjust rates which
we had each denounced and on which the Ma
con platform demanded immediate action. In

Having gone through an arduous campaign
with him, [ had but one thing to ask of him,
and that was that he should Keep faith. "Do

your power towards it,"-that was my re-
quest of the man that [ had helped to be-
come Governor.

Why wouldn't Governor Smith do some

deal with the whole question?
Having removed McLendon for deciding
the Atlanta case as it had been decided three
times before; having begun prosecution of

having been challenged to meet McLendon in
a case of impeachment, Mr.. Hoke Smith OBJ
Jects, through his paper, on the ground that
such a trial would be too expensive to the
State!
His tender regard for the States finances
kept him from calling extra session in
1907, but did not deter him in 1908; causes
him to shrink from an impeachment of the
rollerchair invalid the pallid blighted suf-
ferer whom he yet had the spunk to kick out

that the enormous and unnecessary addition
