not able to- get any action out of the
local health officers, because he was
informed. their hands were tied politi-
caliy and they We're afraid to issue an
order. So he took it UP direct with the
factory owners, and finally succeeded
in convincing them without trouble
that the changes should be made
You have no idea of the way they
come in here and use their political
pull on US said man connected
with the department of inspection.
Some men seem to think that this
ought to be run a political party
annex. to punish those of the other
party and to protect those of their par
ty. But we have been going straight
ahead, treating everybody alike, MAX
ing some people mad with our orders
and lighting it out with others but we
have not allowed politics to cut any
figure here. The law is plain and the
duties of this bureau are clearly set
forth. The law tells what~eonstitutes
safety in appliances. buildings and
factories. and are here TO enforce
that law. One of our men started into
a theatre a few days ago and noticed
that a red light over one of the exits
was not burning, as required by the
law. The inspector told him he had
no ticket, and the dooorman told him
| he could not come in. Well. il you
don't light that red light Immediately
I viii come in there and stop this show
until YOU do light it, the inspector
! said. 4 have been too busy to attend
TO it, the doorkeeper answered but
what business is of yours? Just this
i the inspector told him. j am an in
spector. Now. unless you light that
light this minute you close this house
| The light was attended to at once, and
| the inspector remained 10 see that it
was done. We meet with all kinds of
rebuffs. but they finally come to it."
All of the field inspectors connect
ed with the bureau were informed a
short time ago that they must not al
low politics TO cut any figure with them
| in the enforcement of the law. They
were told that when they find the law
| being violated they shall issue the
proper order and see that ii is obeyed,
and that they must not refer their trou-
bles to the main office.
! IF you are not willing to lay aside
your politics and perform the duties
| of the job yourselves YOU had better
get out of the business" they were
told.

one of the large cities of the state.
The inspector found that the building
was without adequate protection and
that ii fire should start some night
1t might result fatally to guests of the
house. So he ordered the two fire.
escapes.
| One of the owners of the hotel prop
| erty came rushing into the office of
the bureau and raised howl immedi-'
ately.
| What do you fellows mean?p he
asked Here / have been a good
democrat all my life. have worked for
the party in every campaign, and have
always contributed to the campaign
fund to help out you fellows in office.
Then the first thing you do is to issue
an order that viii put me TO aelot of
expense
The man was told of the conditions
as the inspector found them and the
law was read to him. lie was shown
that in ease of a fatal fire under these
conditions he would be liable to the
| family of the deceased for damages up
TO $4,000. He was told that the action
| of the bureau was for his own benefit
| as well as that of the travelling public.
When he had heard all of this he
f. changed MS NINA ana WlIlnSiY agreed
to erect the fire escapes.
In another instance the bureau or
dered two fire escapes built on a ho-
tel building in one of the smaller cit
les of the state and the proprietor
went straight np. He wrote the bureau
and told what a good democrat he
was and how the order would work a
| hardship him. He even went far
as to write letter 10 one of the state
officials. who was a close friend of his,
and seek TO enlist his aid in heading
off the order The state official talked
with the bureau chiefs about ii and
found that the order was just and that
/ it ought to be complied with SO he
wrote the man the situation. and after
a large amount of sputtering and eff
forts in other directions he subsidized
and will put on the fire escapes.
Ope of the inspectors recently call
4 ed on one of the officials of a large
city whose duty it was to see that
buildings are safe, and told him about
some buildings that were not safe. The
inspector urged him to look after them
at once.
Il know there is something wrong
said the city official and | will take
1t up some of these days"
1t was evident that he was trying
to hedge and sidestep the proposition
but the inspector pinned him down to {
promise of immediate action. and it wa:
then that the city official let the trutf
come out.

he said. MY office is SO hamperet
with politics that it is not safe fon ms

The inspector informed. him that THU

to comply with the directions at once
He did so. though reluctantly.
Practically the same trouble was ex

POLITICAL INFLUENCES At
WORK IN STATE BUREAU

The bureau of inspection just happens
10 be in the hands of the democrats.
and it is democratic influence and pres
sure that Is brought to bear on its Of
ficials. but it IS safe TO say that if the
republicans were in control the same
thing would be true and the same OBJ
stacle would be there. only that it
would be republican pressure instead
of democratic.
This political influence and its use
against the inspection bureau was
brought out forcibly a few days ago
when the inspectors ordered two fire.

Advice for Young Men.

Remember, my son, you have to work. Whether you handle pick or a pen, a wheeibarrow or a set of books, dig ditches or edit a news paper, ring an auction bell or write funny things. you must work. If you look around you will see the men who are the most able to live the rest of their lives without work are the men who work the hardest.
 Don't be afraid of killing yourself with oyer-work. It is beyond your power to do that on the sunny side of thirty. They die sometimes. but it is because they quit work at 6 D. m. and don't get home till 2 a. m. It is the interval that kills, my son. The work gives you an ap- petite for your meals: it lends solidty to your slumbers; it gives you perfect and grateful appre- citation of a holiday.
 There are young men who do not work, but the world is not proud of them. It does know thelr names even; it simply speaks of them as old So-and-So's boys ' Nobody likes them; the great, busy world doesn't know that they are there. So find out what you want to be and do, and take off your coat and make dust in the world The busier you are less harm you will be apt to get into, the sweeter will be your sleep, the brighter and happier your holidays and the bet ter satisfied the world will be with you.-Bob Burdette.

Resolutions Of Respect.

Whereas. almighty God in His infinite wisdom removed from our chapter, on the 27th day of August, 1911, Sister J. M. Brown, one of our most valued members. and

 BE IT further resolved: That these resolutions be spread upon the minutes of our chapter, copy be furnished our city paper for publication and copy sent with our prayers and sympathy to her husband, Mir. J. W. Brown, and her two son. Clarence and Roy.

STRIKE CONDITIONS.
Women and Chdren Are Hungry While tius-
 bands Seek Other Employment.

From a letter received by a Huttig resident from a friend liv- ing at Yel Gar, La. where there has been a strike of the Timber Workers Union since August 10, we learn that the outlook for an early betterment of existing con- ditions is not in sight. and things are anything but pleasant there now.
 For time there was what was known as the Union Hash Wagon which would make occasional visits to feed the women and children, but two weeks ago one the princi- pal promoters of the union made a speech there and informed the men they would have to seek employ ment wherever they could find it. as the union could feed them no longer. On the following Wednes- day eighty negroes left this one town for the Brazos river to work picking cotton. which looks like they are faring better than the white men as they are capable of doing work the white man is not good at and can live on less money.
 The company have orders all their houses vacated and when the women and children leave they do not know where they are going or what they are going to do when they get there.
 The men claim that they had no grievience whatever against the mill company at that place, but joined the union to help out their brothers at other mills and are now suffering along with their families for their kindness.
