MINERS OPPOSE
BOYCOTT PLAN
ILLINOIS OPERATORS INCENsED
AT CERTAIN FIRMS.
Closed Shop Policy Asked 20 BE APP
piled TO Operators Association
Miners Refuse.
AGREEMENT EXPECTED SOON.

Chicago, April 14.-The admission
that the real bone OF contention be-
tween the miners and operators OF
Illinois Is that the closed shop prin-
ciple be applied to the operators or
ganization came as a surprise.
The operators wish to compel GER
tain shippers TO enter the operators
association and assist In bearing the
expenses which in the past twelve
years are said TO have aggregated
s4Oo, 900. The operators. according
to w j. Moorehead president OF the
association, seek an agreement under
the terms OF which the miners will
boycott those firms which refuse to
join the former organization.
On this point, John Walker. presi-
dent OF the United Mine Workers In
Illinois. said: "The miners cannot
AFFORD to grant this demand. as il
would place them in a position OF boy
eotting certain Arms, whose property
would suffer thereby"

TENNESSEEANS.

Although Governor Patterson did
not surprise us with his pardon OF
Duncan Cooper, the cold blooded sud-
deuness OF the whole thing rather
gives us a shock. II may not defeat
the ends OF justice; Il may only de-
llay them. Sometimes justice has a
way of putting all her ends in one
basket. The murder of Carmack and
the pardon of his slayer may be part
Iof the humiliation Providence is
heaping on the people of Tennessee
to awaken them 20 their duty In
the Paterson administration we see
summed up all that is bad and vicious
in Tennessee, morally and politically.
The governor himself is a product OF
Memphis machine politics, notorious
ly corrupt. Tennesseeans have the
over some other people.
The line between good citizenship and
bad citizenship is so clearly drawn
that there is no mistaking It and
every man must align himself for
good or evil IN the nexa political con-
test.
Paterson seems to be lacking in all
sense of propriety, not TO say self-re-
spect 1t was openly charged by
friends OF the slain, that there was
and an understanding that
Duncan Cooper should suffer no pun
ishment. so far as human agency
could prevent, for his anticipated
crime. This was not proven at the
trial, and IL Is hard TO believe. We
make no charges, but facts are facts.
Duncan Cooper was the political ally
OF Governor Patterson, charged by
Carmack with being the man who en-
gineered deals, which brought about
the amalgamation OF Patterson's ma
chine with other elements. The
Coopers murdered Ed Carmack In
cold blood, and the governor, who
profited by their political methods and
who was the political enemy of Car
mack pardons Duncan Cooper. That
is all we know
Patterson has not been a weak
governor; he has been a bad COVER
nor. Lawlessness has been encour-
aged in Tennessee by his conduct. 1t
was a band of Tennessee outlaws,
who committed an atrocious crime
Just over the Kentucky border In
the Purchase; Tennessee politicians
inspired aud organized the night rid
ers. who for a year terrorized the
Black Patch of Kentucky and Ten
nessee, and whose depredations cui-
minated in the murder Of Quentin
Rankin at Reelfoot. The pressure
became too great on the governor
after that and he sent the military to
Reelfoot, but the pleas of Clarksville
and 0eighboring communities went
unheeded
Kentucky has suffered just enough
from Tennessee lawlessness to be in
terested in her neighbor, and Ken

FOOKS LUMBER co.
Installs Improvements Of Which
Planer and Moulding Machine Are
Features-One OF the Most Pro
gressive Interior Woodworking
Plants In Western Kentucky.

Commanding an extensive trade
since their years establishment. the
FNcoks Lumber Co. operates with in
creased facilities and has gained a
reputation for excellence of its pro-
duct which covers Western Kentucky
and neigh boring territory. At the
present time the business OF supply
ing interior woodwork to contractors
Is a most active one and greatly as
sists in facilitating building activities
The contractor can now obtain, i'm
mediately upon order. any required
amount Of matched flooring. siding

steps. newell posts. grilles. sash doors.
blinds, ornamental woodwork. wains-
coating. etc. and dressed lumber cut
in any desired dimensions. They are
the only screen door manufacturers
in Kentucky, selling either wholesale
or retail. This work as turned out
by the Fooks Lumber Co. is made
from the best selections OF timber
and especially in ceilings and stair
work show beauty of grain. color and
finish. The company receives at it,
plant carloads OF rough lumber In
cypress. oak. gum and the famous
Georgia yellow pine from the timber
belts OF Georgia, the Carolinas and
Alabama. and shipped direct TO the
Paducah plant and worked up into
building material. At the present
time the demand for Georgia Yellow
Pine is almost as great and the wood
considered as high class and beauti-
full as mahogany. Yellow pine IS
free from knots and imperfections,
has a natural grain and clear, beauti-
full color. which makes II easy OF
finish and durable, while cypress also
Is a prime favorite. The Fooks
Lumber Co. Is located at 1O01-1O27
Monroe street. on a siding OF the |
c. railroad. The premises cover an
area OF 165x260 feet and the capac-
ity of the yard includes over ,OOO.-
900 feet OF lumber at one time. The
company has recently found II nee
essary to install mechanical i'm
provements which enables them to
Increase their product. Among
these are a new planer, moulding
machine Sx12 In size which will work
timber on four sides with one opera |
tion or will work rough board into
smooth surface at the rate OF 10D !
feet per minute. The management
considers this the greatest time and
labor-savlng device known to mod
ern millwoTking apparatus. The
company exerts every effort to keep
the prices OF finished lumber down
to a reasonable standard, believing
that soaring prices retard building
activities. They are jealous, how
ever, In maintaining the highest posi-
bic quality of workmanship. Terrell
ID. Fooks has had long experience in
the lumber business and understands
its every detail. He is an accurate
Judge OF timbers, and Is capable OF
supervising the entire process in the
production. The management in
vites the public to visit the plant,
and inspect their manner of manu-
featuring the various branches OF
their product.

MR.. BRYANs LIMITATIONS.

How Mr.. Bryan failed TO attain the
presidency is always a marvel to us
when within sound of his magical
voice; how he ever succeeded in Sc
curing three nominations is always a
marvel to US, when we read his writ
ten word. In his jefferson dinner
letter Mr.. Bryan says:
president Taft. in his Lincoln
speech at New York, February IL.
attributes the present high prices
mainly to the increase in the produc-
ton OF gold and the consequent en-
largement Of the volume OF money.
This unexpected Endorsement OF our
party's proposition of 1906 when We
demanded more money as the only
remedy for falling prices, is very
gratifying. How valuable that ad-
mission would have been TO us II 1t
had been made during the campaign
OF that year when the Republican
leaders were denying that the volume
OF money had any influence on prices,
and asserting that 1t did not matter
whether we had much money OF little
provided 1t was all good. We may
now consider the quantitative theory
OF money established beyond dispute
and proceed to the consideration OF
other questions.
We had never heard anyone declar-
ing that the volume of money had
nothing to do with prices. Indeed.
the experience with an inflated cur
rency just after the war must have set
tied that, If there was doubt in any
minds. But, accepting the united
opinions of Messrs. BRYAN and Taft,
that present high prices are in part
caused by the large volume OF gold.
let us suppose that Bryan had won in
1896, and that, instead OF the single
gold standard, we had in addition the
unlimited free coinage OF silver, in
fiating the volume OF basic currency
beyond estimate-omitting from con-
sideration the fact that we would al
so have a debased currency and our
money would be discounted in the
markets OF the world, and our for
eign commerce thrown into chaos
indB Me what pIlCtS WOul0 De DeIOTe
the crash would come.
The essential thing is that high
prices OF farm products came with
out free silver.
Mr. Bryan's tariff theories are just
as impracticable. Indeed, he seems
always to strive after simplicity. He
Is so anxious TO propose measures
simple enough for a child TO under
stand, that his proposals are general
~ fanciful. His idea about the tariff
Is TO cut every schedule one hundred
per cent. His theory about the
trusts is to "bust EN-" and send
all the trust magnates to the peni'
tentiaryl

THE CURFEW AT CHERTSEY
Romantic iation of a Pretty Eng
with the Sun
Vn Bell.
Romantic

At shutdown the little Surrey village
of Chertsey Will re-echo to the toll
ing of the curfew bell which, in &C
cordance with ancient custom, is
sounded every evening from Septem-
Der 20 to March %.
1t is appropriate that Chertsey
should thus maintain the custom, for
the village has interesting "curfew'
associations. The curfew bell which
hung in Chertsey abbey tolled for the
funeral of Henry VI, murdered in the
Tower of London and hurried to
Chertsey to be buried without priest,
clerk, torch or taper, singing or say
ing"
The abbey was also the scene Of
the romantic legend which relates
how Blanche Heriot, to save her
lover Neville, nephew of Warwick the
Kingmaker, condemned to die at sun
down, climbed the curfew tower and
held the clapper of the great bell The
story, always popular locally, attained
wide fame when Mr. Clifford Harrison
embodied it in his poem The Legend
OF Chertsey." Since then reciters' au-
diences have probably lad their fill OF
it.-Westminster Gazette.
