introducing very little evidence cen

the great mass of evidence piled up by

LUMBER IS SLUGGISH
BUT PRICES HOLD UP

Jackson, Miss, Dec. 14-With the
near approach of the Christmas holi-
days the lumber industry in Missis-
sippi has assumed a quiet and slug
gish turn. and falling off of orders
and inquiries is reported from several
of the principal points in the milling
district.
Leading lumbermen, however, are
inclined to the belief that the lull is
only temporary, and that there will be
resumption of activity, and brisker
demand for all classes of material
after the first of January.
The quietness of the market has
manifested itself in the volume of
shipments through Jackson, via the
Ship Island system, which, up to ten
days ago, averaged from rs to 1875 cars
per day. and now rarely reach the
minimum figure named.
One hopeful and significant feature
Of the situation, from the manufactur
er's point of view, is that there hal

Jackson, Miss, Dec. 1.-THE prob

for the removal from Office of Mr.. T.
R. James, county attorney of George
county, because of his refusal to testi-
fly before the Kinds county grand jury
yesterday, A an interesting subject
of speculation in political and official
circles.
Mr.. James was under appearance
bond to go before the grand jury in
relation to the alleged bribery OF
State Senator Theo. G. Bilbo in con-
nection with the legislative act OF
1908 creating the new county OF
George. When on the witness stand
during the Dulaney trial at Yazoo City
several days ago, and asked whether
he had paid money to Senator Bilbo
to secure a favorable report from the
senate committee on local and pri
vate legislation on the George county
bill, Mr.. James declined to testify
taking refuge behind the constitution
al clause providing that a witness can
not be compelled to give evidence
that would tend to incriminate him

Keeps Lips Sealed.

During his stay in Jackson while
under appearance bond, James stated
to public official that he would tell
the whole matter were it not for the
fact that persons other than himself
were involved; that he might be in
clined to tell it all, regardless of 9th
er persons concerned, if promised I'M
munity from prosecution, but such
amnesty, if extended, could only be
granted by Judiciary officials not in
office, and there would remain likeli-
hood of prosecution in event a change
took place in the judiciary of this dis
trict. He therefore, decided to keep
his lips sealed.

Governor Can't Remove,

Mr.. James is holding the office of
county attorney by virtue of guber-
material appointment, having been Sc
lected for the office by Governor Noel
on the recommendation of a large
number of George county citizens. 1t
is known that his fiat and emphatic
refusal to testify in an alleged crimi-
nal transaction has been brought to
the attention of the governor, but the
chief executive is powerless in the
matter, as the Mississippi statutes
do not permit the governor to order
the summary removal of a county
official for cause. In event any ef-
fort is made to remove James, it will
have to assume the form of a grand
jury indictment for malfeasance in
office.

option of that principle in the tariff OF
1909. Senator La Toilette was a .recog-
nized leader in the fight, presenting an
array of unanswerable logic and in
disputable facts, but a combination of
the protected interests prevented the
framing of a tariff law on the basis de-
clared for in the Republican platform.
The speaker proceeded to consider
the various industrial and political
problems which confront US as re-
suit of changed ns-railway
determinations, control of railroad
rates, control of trusts, elimination of
political corruption. In the fight a.
gainst the various corporate interests,
which are bound together by the tie of
self interest, in the battle to secure
free and untrammelled ballot and a
square deal for all, Senator La Toilette
occupies a place in the forefront. He
it was who first appreciated the effect
of changed conditions and the urgent
necessity of battle against the in
trenched interests.
La Follette's work in Wisconsin was
briefly reviewed, and it was pointed
out that, in connection with the little
band of insurgents, he is now endeavor-
ing to secure similar reforms in national
legislation. In spite of desperate op-
position, many concessions were wrung
from the allied interests. Some of the
most fragrant evils were eliminated
from the tariff bill; the vicious railroad
bill was hammered until most reaction
ary provisions disappeared and many
good provisions were added; these and
other steps toward reform were secured
by determined fighting against the
party organization and in the face of
attempts to read the Insurgents out of
the party.
The practically unanimous popular
support which the work of the Insur
gents has received, has shown the in
terests that their only hope lies in the
defeat of La Toilette and his followers.
Recognizing Fa Toilette as the leader
of the Insurgent movement, money is
being poured into Wisconsin by the
wealthy interests to encompass his
defeat In the same recognition
of the Importance of La Follette's
work, such prominent Progressive lead
ers as Dolliver, Bristow, Cummins,
Lindsey and others have sacrificed time
and expenses, in some cases neglect

ing their own campaigns, to come to
Wisconsin and plead for the return of
La Toilette to the Senate. Failure to
return him would be the most stagger-
ing blow that could be struck at the
Progressive movement.
After his speech Senator Clapp spent
few moments visiting in the city and
was interviewed by the News Budget
and stated that the outlook for Mr..
La Toilette seemed very fattering, al
though there is no disguis in the fact
that a desperate affort is being made
to beat him, and especially Trough
comdlications arising out of the several
Legislative tickets through the state;
and that it is of the utmost importaIce ce
that his friends see to it that only
those are elected to the Legislature
who are absolutely known to be loyal
to him and have proved their loyalty u
the past not only to Senator La folleits
but To the progressive policies. Tt

La Toilette should see to it that just
such men as he shonld be elected TO the

Ellingson for Assemblyman

If there was any lingering doubt as
to the existence of political enthusiasm
in this burg, it was dispelled by the
audience which attended the speech
of Senator Moses e. Cianp in the court
house last Saturday afternoon. AL
though the hour was a bad one, MAX
ing it impossible for many laborlng
men and inconVenient for business men
to attend, the room was we'll filled,
The speaker was given an ovation as
arose, and the speech of nearly two
hours in length was punctuated with
frequent and enthusiastic applause.
The Senator was introduced by
Attorney J. W. CarOw, with few well
chosen remarks, calling attention to
his national reputation and referring to
him as one of the original Insurgents.
With very brief preliminaries, the
speaker plunged into the heart of
his subject. He graphically portrayed
the manner in which a new set of
political problems have sprung up in
the last twenty years. While cOmpe-
tition was free, there was no need of
governmental regulation of any bust
ness. If the tariff was placed high
enough to shut out foreign manufact-
urers, it didn't matter how much high
er than necessary it might be. Com
petition at home would reduce prices
to fair basis.
In recent years, industrial combin-
alton has stifed competition, leaving
them free to charge prices that yield
unreasonable profits. This changed
condition makes necessary a careful
arrangement of tariff schedules, in order
that the duty may not be greater than
the difference in cost of production.
The Republican platform OF 1908 de-
clared for tariff based on difference
in cost of production, and the Insur-
gents in Congress fought for the ad-

credit of Ellingson Lumber Co., at the
highest mark. Their relations with
their employees have always been pleas
ant and satisfactory, as shown by the
fact that competent men seldom leave
their employ except to go einto busi-
ness for themselves.
Business success has never turned
the heads of the Ellingsons. They do
not hold themselves socially superior to
their men, nor do they sympathize with
the sentiment of so many business men,
that they must align themselves with
Rockefeller, Morgan, Gould, Hill, ETC.,

aud they have aggressively supported
the La Toilette movement which has

lieve that in the broad sense the inter-

the manufacturer and the merchant
are indentical, that each will prosper
most when all are treated fairly and
equally.

G. 2. Ellingson is one of the typical
class of American business men who
have arisen from the ranks through
their own efforts and in spite of adverse
conditions. Coming to Wisconsin a
fatherless boy of 13, he sought and
found employment in Wansau, then a
bustling saw mill town. Faithful work
IN the saw mills and lumber yards and
rigid thrift and economy enabled him
to save enough money to attend school
a portion of every year. In this way
he worked himself through Wausau
High School and Wausau Business
College. His earning power was now
increased, he secured more responsible
positions, and was able to accumulate
some money. He invested in the firm
of Ellingson Lumber Co., now located
at Hawkins, becoming one of the lead
ing members.
This firm has been very successful,
and is now one of the leading lumber
manufacturing firms in this county.
