doubt wondering why they failed to
receive the little truth teller the last
few weeks. we dedicate this explana-
tion,
There ,wasa reason!
On the morning ofFriday May 9Th,
between the hours of l and 2 the
printing establishment belonging to
the Socialist Printing Co., and in which
the mechanical. work on the Star had
been done for the last few months,
was raided by militiamen acting
under orders from Governor Hatfield:
The raiding party was composed of
Major Tom Davis and Lieutenants
Rippitoe and Templeton who ruthless
ly destroyed job work, type, printing
material; plates, etc.
The type forms" Of the Star had
just been completed and were ready
for the regular issue Of, the paper.
Some of the type in the. newspaper
pages was beaten to q shapeless mass
of mashed metal. After the types and
plates had been beaten and broken,
the forms" were hurled from the
composing stones and their contents
scattered over the aofice and street.
Portions of the wrecked material were
found the next morning two squares
from the Star Office.
Not satisfied with their destruction
of the Star forms, the valiant soldiers
proceeded to- demolish departments
in which the Socialist Printing Co.
did commercial job printing. Every
job in this department, including
forms for several sets of Bylaws for
local unions, which had not yet been
printed, were smashed and printed
matter ready for delivery to local
merchants was destroyed.
All of the account books, letters,
invoices, files, and copy in the office
were confscated and carried away.

ated under the laws ofW. Va. author

Won
Their |''!iI Strike

After three weeks exhibition of
solidarity, which is we'll worthy of
emulation by other crafts, the local
Bakery Workers won their strike
against the boss bakers Of the city,
and contracts guaranteeing better
hours, better working conditions and
better pay have been signed by the
Local Union and every baking estab-
lishment in the city.
The Bakers Union although a very
young organization, handled their fight.
in the most effective manner possible.
Instead of devoting their energies to
picketing the struck shops and trying
to prevent scabs from taking their
places, they picketed the gl3ceries,
restaurants, and other places where
bread is sold, inducing customers to
purchase only that bread which bore.
their union label. In this manner
they drove the 'unlabeled bread al
most entirely off the local market, and
the one union bakery was running
night and day, employing comparative
ly all members Of the union who were
on strike and furnishing the bread
supply for the city.
An extensive label campaign was
carried on steadily by the Trades
Assembly through its affiliated locals
and the opposition tc the Bakers
Union crumbled under the tactics Of
hit 'em in the pocket book"
Now that the baking industry in
the city is solidly unionized, lets keep
it that way by seeing that every loaf
of bread that enters our home bears
the guarantee that it is produced
under sanitary union conditions

successfully get away with it, then

by the racket produced by Washing

introduced a resolution in the house
providing for an investigation OIL

far as to authorize inquiry into all
chicken, squad and pigeon coops in

lieves in the efficacy of the shotgun

4 DISGRACE TO GEORGIA.

There is one thing the people or
Georgia have got to put stop to,
and that is this business OF a can
d;date spending from ten to fifty
thousand dollars in an effort to be
elected to office. 1t has come to
the point where a poor man can't
run for office in Georgia. Hooper
Alexander.
The News is heartily in accord
with Mr.. Alexander in the matter OF
spending money in elections, and has
often said just what he is quoted as
saving above. Beginning with the
campaign of 19O7-S the amount of
money that has been spent by some
candidates for governor is dis
grace to Georgia 1t is time to put a
stop to it, to make it impossible.
The point has been reached where a
man even of moderate means, much
less a poor man, cannot afford to
become a candidate for office, no
matter how worthy or we'll qualified
he NAV be.

A GRIGGs COUNTY EDITION.

The Doerun Advertiser issued a
twenty-page edition last week giving
an excellent sketch of that thriving
town and boosting the proposed
new county of "Griggs," so named in
honor of the lamented congressman
from the Second district. The new
county would have 225 square
miles and be larger in area
than twenty-three of the present
counties; the population would be
15,40O, which is greater than that of
seventy-ftVe of the counties now in
existence, and would have taxable
property valued at $2,5O0,OO0, which
is more than the tax values Of sixty
four of the old counties. Griggs
county would take BIAS inhabitants
from Worth county, 5,114 from
Mitchell county and $50 from Col
Quit county. 1t would take from
Worth county IS square miles, from
Mitchell rs, and from Colqmtt 70.
The people of the thriving little
city of Doerun and the territory
from which it is proposed to make
Griggs county are enthusiastically
behind the movement. 1t would be
beneficial to them in various ways
and it is a safe prediction that their
efforts will eventually meet with sue
cess, probably at the next session OF
the legislature.

A FAMILIAR SOUND.

Some of the campaign talk of Hon
Hooper Alexander, who is running
as a prohibition candidate for gov
ernor. sounds strangely familiar. He
is quoted as saying in speech al
Ringgold:
II believe that when the people
of Georgia come to know that as
the situation is now the rich can
defy the law while the poor nave
to bend before it they will do some
thing to remedy that state OF ar
fairs"
Judge Dick Russell, while running
last year as an nti-prohibition can
didate for governor, said practically
the same thing in all of his speeches,
charging that the rich had their bar
rooms Cocker clubs) and could get
their cocktails and other fancy
drinks, while the poor had to sneak
around the corner and buy busthead
vhiskey or resort to imitation beer
potash and other injuri-
Gus substances.
That prohibition and an anti
prohibition candidate should make
the same argument in an appeal for
votes is another evidence that the
politician is always awake to every
and takes advantage of
ayery situation.

A ONE MAN PARTY.

According to Mr.. Ormsby McHarg,
who was one of Colonel RoOsevelt's
chief supporters for the republican
nomination for president and who
did more than any other man in
getting up the Roosevelt contests
that were presented to the Chicago
convention, the new party which Col
oneI Roosevelt has just formed and
taken its nomination for president
is a one-man party. By that he
means that there is nothing to it ex-
cept Colonel Roosevelt, and that if
anything should happen to him that
would prevent him from going on
with the work it would quickly drop
ont of sight and mind. In that view
there Is no doubt that he is right
IF Colonel Roosevelt were to die to-
morrow nothing more would be
heard of the new party.
And that is one Of the reasons
why there are no really prominent
republicans following Colonel Roose-
welt.
