HUGHES MAKESP[EA
Governor Urges Need of Faith

NATIONS FATE AT STAKE
Alludes to Fear of People That
Money Will Not Be Properly
Spent.

ALBANY, N. z. March ia plea for
faithful public service by state and local
ONCE holders was voiced by Gov. Hughes
this afternoon at the state tuberculosis
conference.
Tho people OF this state" he said. ARE
entirely willing to have the public money

The future Of the country, he declared,
depended less upon the President and the

ernor digressed slightly from the letter of
his theme TO say:
1.-THE blight which falls upon every pub
lie undertaking Is the blight Of faithless-
ness to public duty on the part of the
public officers. That which seems the un-
surmountable obstacle to our people or
garizing for philanthropic effort is the
difficulty OF getting rid of the distrust on
the part OF our people that the moneys
that are voted will be honestly expended
and that public works will be prosecuted
with a sole desire to benefit the public
interest
Laws Must Be Enforced.
But the more insistent and intelligent
that these efforts in varied lines of
reformatory work with the practical pur-
pose directly In view become, the more
likely are we to obtain that efficient
government which we SO much desire.
1t will do little good to multiply laws

enforced by officers whose allegiance is
solely to the people, and who are held
strictly accountable for the proper dis
charge of their duties.
The longer l stay in office the more
| am persuaded that the future of this
country and the future Of this state de-
Ponds, not so much on what President and
governor may do. as on what the local
officer does in connection with the gov
eminent at home. And IL many of our
good friends would direct some of their
attention and criticism to what is going
on in their immediate environment. and
see that public duties were faithfully
discharged and public officers were held
strictly accountable to the statute which
defined their duties, and not according to
the wishes of irresponsible persons. we
should have an immense degree of prog

government in free society"
Conference a Notable One.
The presence of the governor and of
President Taft made the afternoon meet
ing Of the conference of local committees
on the prevention of tuberculosis a not
able one. Joseph H. Choate. former ambas-
sador to Great Britain and the president
of the State Charities Aid Association, in

The conference voted to send a telegram
to Mrs. Russell Sage expressing appre-
citation of her far-sighted generosity
which made possible the present most
promising movement for the prevention of
tuberculosis in this state"

CALLS MAYOR A MONKEY
DEBS MAKES VIOLENT SPEECH
TO PHILADELPHIA STRIKERS.
Urges Carmen to Stand Firm and
Offers to Fight for Their
Cause.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa. March 19.-Eu-
gene v. Debs in speech in Labor Ly-
ceum Hall tonight called the mayor a
monkey and referred to the city hall as
nest OF thieves. He commanded the
striking carmen to stand firm and refuse
to arbitrate anything.
He talked to over thousand men and
! stirred them to explosive applause. When
the one-time socialist candidate for
President appeared at Sixth and Brown
| streets there was q crowd of 400 strikers
there to hurrah for him. He was carried
! into the hall with c. o. Pratt and other
labor leaders pushing behind him.
He was soft spoken at the start. Then
he became vehement. Then he grew vio-
lent. He said that now was the crucial
moment In the life of organized labor.
Now was the time for every union man
to do his duty and stand firm.
Stand firm" you laboring men," he
| shouted. swinging his arms and raising
his voice. The city hall has tried to
hoodwink you. to make fools Of you. Re-
tain your manhood Don't give up"
The mayor is monkey" said Debs.
and the city hall is a nest of thieves.
a gang Of pirates"
He swung his fists in a circle, indi-
eating the circle of policemen that were
stationed around the hall. They stood
quietly and impassively. They had re-
ceived no orders to arrest Debs or any
one else.
Il do not want to be arrested for in
citing to riot" Debs continued in a quiet
er tone, so l shall say nothing more
along these lines
Kissed the Policemen.
The crowd Missed the policemen. There
were shouts in which the name OF the
mayor popped up. But Debs swerved to
a more general denunciation. He at
tackled the Constitution. 1T was gotten
up by aristocrats for aristocrats," he said
1T was framed to shut out the common
people. The courts and the justices. even
of the Supreme Court of the United
States. are dominated by these self-same
laristocrats
You have nothing to concede. nothing
to compromise; stand for the whole pro-
gram. If there is any fighting to be
done want to donate my head. We are
here to fight. l want to be in the front
line and get my own head cracked If
necessary" He could not go on. There
was too much tumult. The strikers yelled
altogether and powerfully. Debs sat down,
wet with perspiration and hopping his
face.
Clarence 0. Pratt, leader of the strik-
ing carmen, spoke after Debs. He said
that William D. Mahon, national presi-
dent of the Amalgamated Carmen, would
not be able to attend, and that Presi-
dent E. E. Greenwalt OF the State Fedora
ton of Labor, was too busy to get to the
| meeting.
He said that he Endorsed everything that
Debs had said. The transit company did
not seem to want to meet the carmen
half way and appeared bent on making
more trouble. Very well, the strikers
would see that they got it. The cheering
was deafening.

MINIMUM TARIFF RATES
SATISFACTORY CONCLUSION OF
FRENCH NEGOTIATIONS.
Proclamation Extending Provisions
Of the Law to Be Issued
at Once.

The negotiations which have been in
progress between secretary Knox and the
tarin officers Of this government and the
French ambassador have reached q satit-
factory conclusion. and In pursuance OF
the recommendation OF the Department
Of State and the tariff board the Presi-
dent has decided to issue at once his
proclamation extending the minimum
tartn Of the United States to imports
from France after March 81.
The Secretary of State has issued a
statement on the subject in which he
says:
THE tariff conditions affecting Ameri-
can commerce in France have for many
years been the subject OF complaint and
protest on the part OF American manu-
facturers and exporters. Under the COM

Effect Of the Agreements.

These agreements affected American
goods imported into France to the value OF
$2O, 600 in a total dutiable importa-
ton from this country Of $4,000. 900. This
left numerous classes Of important ex-
ports subject to the discriminatory rates
of the French maximum, tariff. All ma
tons competing with the United States In
the French market have had the benefit
OF the complete minimum tariff of
France. Since November last the
maximum tariff has been applied to all
dutiable imports from the United States

Basis Of Settlement.

"The basis of settlement with France,
upon which the minimum tariff will be
extended, Is as follows: France will con-
tinue her free list to the United States
with such additions as the pending revi-
sion in France may carry into that list
and all concessions heretofore granted.
This includes a large volume of American
exports to France. and embraces cotton
and copper. The minimum on about
eighty numbers of the French tariff
where two rates exist Is granted, and
these cover the most important articles.
crude and manufactured, of American ex-
ports to France. including agricultural
and various forms of implements and
machinery, on which the United States
has long sought equality of tariff treat

In addition certain assurances are
given as to the maintenance Of many
present general tariff rates, where the
French revision Is or may be higher,
with an understanding that If certain
rates are lower, the United States shall
benefit by this advantage. Certain fur

With the approaching state Demo-

PLAN FOR NEXT
COUNTY FAIR
GOVERNMENT MAY AID
STOCKHOLDERS OF FAULKNER
ASSOCIATION TO MEET
MONTH.

Plans for greater and grander
Faulkner county fair will be discussed
at the second annual meeting of the
stockholders Of the association, which
will be held early next month. The
officers Of the association are already
receiving many inquiries as to the
second annual fair in this county and
many of these cannot be answered un-
til after the stockholders have met
anG elected directors for the ensuing
year.
That the next fair will be bigger
and and better than its predecessor is
conceded by everyone. Farmers
Throughout the county have already
begun preparations for their exhibits
next fall and hundred of packages
of selected seed, as well as large num-
bers, of registered breeding stock and
poultry have been received by them
during the past few weeks. The boys
corn club contests will also add mater
tally to the interest in the fair. 1t is
more than probable that additional
stock in the fair association will be
SOLD so as to improve and enlarge the
buildings.
The probability of United States
government aid fer the county fair Is
suggested in an article in this morn
ing's Little Rock Gazette, in which it
is stated that the Office Of farm man
agement Of the United States depart
ment Of agriculture is seeking infor-
nation regarding the needs of the av-
erage county fair in every state Of the
union, and proposes to have a repre-
sentative at every fair held in each
county this fall.
Commissioner Guy B. Tucker, the
article states, yesterday received a
communication from d. H. Doane, as
sistant agriculturist of the depart
ment of agriculture, requesting infor-
nation concerning the county fairs to
held in Arkansas. The important
needs and problems before the aver
age county fairs and the remedies are
the questions asked of the heads of the
agricultural department of the state.
Commissioner Tucker promptly re-
piled to the inquiry of the depart
ment of agriculture, his answer being
as follows:
Il advise that the principal need of
our county fairs is simply the natural
development of these institutions that

parts and low in others. The engin-
GERS will give an estimate to the
commission as to the amount of dirt
it will take to bring this all to grade.
When this is being done the engineers
will also take into consideration the
four blocks of ground between Vic
tory and Cove streets, and Third and
Seventh, which are now covered with
residences, for an effort will probably
be made to include this in the state
capitol grounds. The completion of
the new capitol will add much to
the value of all this property, and
many of the property owners, who
own only the place where they live,
and it is in this district, declare they
will not sell unless given a sum known
to be exorbitant. The commission will
hardy call upon the property owners
twice for this property however, re-
sorting to the right of condemnation,
given to the commission by the legis-
lature, having a commission appointed
to appraise the property, and then
settling with the property owners ac-
cordingly. An effort will probably be
made to have the Little Rock real es-
tate men upon this commission, and
that would insure the people they
would oct every cent their DrODertV
is worth.

can come, to any great extent, only
from experience in each county.
with one or two exceptions, all the
fairs in this state are of recent organ
ization. During the last five years
there has been a steady development
along this line. Five years ago there
were but two or three fairs of any
sort in the state. This fall there will
be probably 25 or 80.
'The greatest stimulus for county
fairs, and the best object lesson in ia
vor of competitive exhibitions of prod
ucts, was the boys corn clubs, organ
lied for the first time in Arkansas

The one need of our many new
independent county fairs, horticul-
tural and agricultural shows that are
springing up all over the state, is a
general state organization, or at least
cooperation, of executive officers in
arranging dates in circuits and adopt
