Hobson.
The Spanish-American War
Hero Speaks To Richmond
Audience.

Richmond Pearson Hobson, the hero
OF the Merrimac, whose deed Of valor
was greatly responsible for the captur-
ing of the Spanish feet in the harbor Of
Santiago, delighted a representative
audience in this city last Tuesday even
ing at the Normal School chapel Mr..
Hobson has been representative in
Congress from Alabama for several years
His subject last Tuesday evening was
1.-The Great Destroyer" in which be
brought out the terrible evils of alchol-
ISM and recited facts about conditions
in this county that were truly marvellous
TO his attentive listeners. He is not an
orator, but a plain talker, with con-
vincing style that holds the attention OF
his audiences closely.
His daring feat during the Spanish
Amer can war is well remembered by
every true American: how he conceived
the plan whereby with another naval
officer he drove the Merrimac, an Amer
lean collier. into the channelO of Santiago
bay and by dynamiting the boat, thus
blocked up all means of escape for the
Spanish feet how he was captured and
taken prisoner by the enemy and held in
a dungeon until released after the Span
ish surrender. That deed caused injur-
les to his eyes, which is plainly discern
ible.
On Wednesday morning be spoke for
an hour and half to the student body
OF. the Possibilities Of War with For
eign Nation" and made assertions that
caused much comment from his listen
ers.
He spoke along the lines that have
characterized his speeches in the nation
al house of representatives as well as on
the lecture platform of late.
He predicted war with foreign nation
and declared that the United States was
unprepared and would be compelled to
sue for peace after having been worsted.
He said he believed war was inevitable
with in the next few years between this
country and one of the greatest powers
Of the world; that the United States was
not prepared on account of not having
enough ships and would be unable TO
defend her own coasts.
Like in the Russian-Japanse war, the
other Powers would insist on ending the
conflict and this country be compelled
to accept peace on the best terms she
could get.
He said he thought war would come
before the Panama canal was completed
and that the first blow would be struck
on the isthmus.

Fans Happy.
Base Ball Season for 1911
Looms Up In the Distance
Most Promising.

Hurrah for the season 1911, for the
Richmond Base ball club. Just a little
more money from a few who have not
as yet contributed and the season will be
a success beyond a doubt. President
Harrington is anxious to get as good
financial start and so far he has succeed
ed well. But there are many people in
town and county, who can afford to give
from five to twenty-five dollars in order
to have the popular game here this year
and with every assurance OF a pennant
winner. they should contribute literally.
The people Of Richmond have shown
their public spirit by good contributions
and if this season is anything like 1909
in attendance and weather, there will be
enough left over at the end to start
in 1912 with very good surplus.
Richmond is the smallest town in the
league, but there are more real fans here
than most any place.
The park trouble has been settled, Mr..
r. r Burnam coming to the aid of the
fans and purchased il for SO, 300 which
will afford enough to liquidate the old
Indebtedness. Mr.. Burnam agrees to
sell it back to the club at the expiration
of one year at the above figures and he
is to receive $780, rental for the season
OF 1911.
President Harrington is looking for
player manager and will get the best
man for the place. There are now about
twenty men owned By the Richmond
club, but Of course several of these will
be either sold, traded or released before
the season opens. There are one or two
good players, which the president has
his eye on and they may be signed by
The middle of April. There are one or
two places on the team that need streng-
thening and with these filed. Richmond
will put surenough winner in the field.

HUMAN CONSERVATION.
Industry Must Be Charged and Held Re-
spcnsibIe for Future Physical
Welfare of Workmen.

Washington.-In the current issue of
La Follette's Weekly is an article by
Thomas j. Mahon, a member of the state
legislature, who is advocating an indus
trial commission to apply scientific
means in solving the industrial problem.
The plan proposed is identical with that
or the interstate commerce commission.
1t Is argued that if the above commission
being clothed with power and authority
to require interstate common carriers to
fix reasonable rates and provide adequate
faculties for transportation, it is feas-
ible and necessary also that provisions
be made whereby health and life may be
protected without undue delay. A con-
servation commission, given adequate
scope of authority, would be able to meet
the ever recurring questions coming as
the result of our rapidly changing eco
nonic conditions. IF we do not have
better opportunities for our workers. -
the article goes on to say, safer condi-
tions under which they shall live, better
leducational opportunities, and if the hu-
mane note is not struck in our legisla-
tior then indeed our prosperity turns to
ashes How best to secure that safety
in employment is the great problem that
is strictly up to u.s."
II defense of the commission idea to
regulate industry as it applies to work
men. in contradistinction to labor laws,
the following sentence is explanatory:
.'They constitute (labor laws) a body of
laws i'll adapted TO the wonderful and
changing system of industry under which
we live. A law which describes a piece
of machinery in detail is hard to draft
and still harder to enforce, and after the
description has been made as thorough
as human ingenuity can make it, there
still remains the fact that, with the rapid
growth of invention, tomorrow the de-
scrption may be obsolete and useless"

OFFICIAL ENDORSEMENTS.

Washington. - Numerous communica-
tons have been received at headquarters
detailing the operations of individuals
who visit towns and cities where there
are chartered central bodies. seeking and
sometimes obtaining endorsements for
prospective publications to be devoted to
the interests of labor organizations. The
towns most frequently worked" are
those where no regular publication is in
existence devoted to labor. One instance
here related is similar to others that
have been reported In town in New
York a gentleman procured the endorse
ment of the central body and then used
the endorsement to threaten advertisers
with the displeasure and boycott of the
central body to get business. One issue
of the publication appeared with indis-
crminate display advertisements and
tlattering reading notices of firms con-
spicuously unfair, and the whilom edit
or then decamped. Central bodies
should be extremely careful and only give
endorsements where publications have
proven their worth by a proper attitude.
both as to business methods and loyalty
TO the cause.
