UNION PRINTERS IN
SESSION
1000 Members of Organiza
ton Discuss Matters of
Interest to Craft.

tween fifteen hundred and two

welcome were made by the mayor
! of the city, the officers of the local

ed to by President James M. Lynch

presented to the convention.
The report of President Lynch
was a comprehensive document, re-
viewing the progress made by the
international Typographical Union
since the last annual convention,
and outlining new policies and
touching upon these that have be-
come a part of the work and his
tory of the organization. Especial
attention was devoted to the home

ganizaton for the year ending May
81, 1910, was 47,S4S, an increase of

erage membership upon which per
capita tax has ever been collected
blythe international union.
The members on the old age pen
sion roll of the organization received
$1O6,740 during the fiscal year.
Since the establishment of the bur
ial benefit the international has paid
$50 burial benefits, amounting to
O$562.975, and since 1891, when
the international began the payment
of strike benefits, there has been eX-
pended in this direction and in spec
ial assistance to local unions total

The poetic origin and meaning of

lines:
Zone of the speakers from Wen

gathering at Okanogan, made some
thing of hit when he intimated
that this must be a great section
for the Irish, for he had here heard
of Pat Tros, O'Kanogan, O'Mack and
Con Conully.
But as indicative of how uncer-
tain tradition is after all, the later
school of archaeologists assert that
Conconully, in the Okanogan tongue,

though the place was first known,

1887, as Salmon City, until H. w.
Thompson came along the next year
and suggested the prettier Indian
name. And it was the same ThOmp-
son, by the way, who, when freight
was delayed, was wont to print his
little advance agent of civilization,

of his sheet is all that has survived,

TEXAS DEMOCRATS
IN QUANDARY
Liquor Question Promises
to Split Bourbon
Party.

Galveston, Texas, Aug. 8.-Dele-
gates to the democratic state con-
vention to be held here tomorrow
are already arriving in large num-
bers. The attendance promises to
be unusually large. Though there
are no nominations to be made, the
state ticket having been selected at
the primaries on July %, the con-
vention promises to be anything but
a perfunctory affair. The dissen-
sion in the party over the prohibit
ton question is such as to insure a
lively gathering, with the possibility
that it may result in a serious split
in the party ranks.
The situation with regard to the
prohibition issue is the most re-
markable in the political history OF
Texas The trouble grows out Of
the fact that o. B. Colquitt, candi-
date of the ti-prohibitionists, has
been nominated for governor, and
that the proposition to make the
submission of a constitutional
amendment providing fer state
wide prohibition to a vote of the
people a demand of the platform of
the democratic party, and therefore
binding upon the legislature, was
carried in the recent primaries by
good majority.
Tomorrow's convention is expect
ed to be under the control of the
prohibition element of the party.
with the prohibitionists in control
of the convention the nominee for
governor and his chief supporters
may be expected to take little if any
hand in writing the platform. In
this connection it is expected that
Senator Joseph w. Bailey will be
selected as the mediator to bring the
opposing factions together in the
matter of agreeing on certain pro-
posed planks of the platform. Sem
ator Bailey, however, is not viewed
in a very favorable light my many
of the prohibition advocates, particu-
larly by those who supported Cone
Johnson, prohibitionist, for govern
or. He is regarded by them as hav-
ing been largely instrumental in
bringing defeat to the cause in the
matter of the governorship through
his espousal and support of William
Poindexter, another of the guberna-
torial aspirants, and, by this split OF
the prohibition vote, made possible
the nomination of Colquitt.
Unless Senator Bailey or some
other peacemaker succeeds in bring
ing about a peaceful solution of the
problem, developments of "a start
ling nature are, in the opinion OF
many well-informed and close OBJ
serving people, are almost certain to
result from the state convention.

COOK, NOT PEARY
GETS COIN
Fakir Made Fortune From
Brief Lecture Tour =
Peary Met a Frost.

New York, Aug. 8.-Commander
Robert E. Peary is done with the
lecture platform, at least as far as
America is concerned, says the Mail,
which adds that he probably will
never deliver another address on a
box-office receipt basis in any coun-
try in the world
His tour in the United States fol-
lowing his return from the North
Pole proved disastrous, both finan-
cially and in the amount of enthus-
iasm he awakened.
1t cost the Civic Forum thousands
of dollars, and the explorer didn't
get anywhere near the amount of
money he expected.
When he went to England a few
months ago he said he would never
lecture here again.
Mr.. Peary's reception in England
was warmer than the one he re-
ceived here. There he appeared be-
fore various geographical societies
and the gate money feature was
eliminated Besides DR.. Cook hadn't
been to England to gather a harvest
of shekels.
Every one knows Dr. Cook made
fortune, some say as much as
SIS, 700, in his few lectures here
before his story was attacked.
In the South Mr.. Peary was book
ed for six cities, but two of these
were Cancelled because of poor bus
mess, while the other engagements
showed a deficit Even a Governor
in an intervied said of the explor
er.
eve have been handed gold
brick, now they are trying to give
us a paste diamond" said the exc
cutive
In the middle West it was the
same. The big guarantees that Or
CARNATIONS paid for Dr. Cooks ap-
pearance were not forthcoming in
Commander Peary's case. But the
naval officer invariably insisted
out of pride on as high price as
was paid the other man.
1t was understood that the Civic
Forum was to pay Commander Peary
$1,000 a night. The receipts often
were not more than one-fourth this
sum. With nothing but losing
proposition in sight the explorer re-
leased the Forum from it's contract
and a settlement was made, Mr..
Peary getting but small part of
what was expected.
He was praised for not enforcing
his claim, even if it was a legal one,
on the society.
So the Civic Forum was glad to
cancel the remaining dates and close
the tour The end came none too
soon for Explorer Peary.
1T wasn't his pocketbOOk that
was hurt, it was his sense of JUS
tice," say those who claim to know.

Recent investigations in Egyptian

Recent investigations in Egyptian
history disclosed the details of Ia
Dor difficulties at Thebes in the year
400 B. C. The strike was very
similar to those going on today. 1t
was in the building trades, and the
strikers were masons. They were
paid in rations at the end of every
month, and they claimed that these
were insufficient to sustain them
and their families until the follow
