The Cape weekly tribune. (Cape Girardeau, Mo.) 1914-1914, 1914-10-30

was elected President and the Demo-
Gratis took charge of the government,
We have passed the Underwood tariff
law, and seven Republicans and Pro-
gressives voted for it; we passed the
Glass currency law, with 2S Republi-
cans and Progressives voting for it
and we enacted the Clayton trust bill,
which 81 Republicans and Progress
sives approved with their votes.
The income tax, when it was first
taken up as an Independent measure,
was approved by seventy-fve Repub-
licans and PrOgressivcs in the House
alone. We have passed more impor-
tant laws than were enacted by the
Republicans in all their years in Office
And the Republican party has 10
right to criticise the work of this con-
grCss, because the measures that we
drafted and passed We're voted for by
Republicans in both branches of
Congress.
Under the Underwood tariff law
this Government collected $31 100000
more than was spent, during the fiscal
year. Up to the time that war was de-
clared in Europe, we were making a
great record. Then, of course, our i'm
ports were reduced to the minimum.
But the deficit under the Under
wood law is not as great as it would
have been were we operating under
the Payne-Aldrich measure. To blame
the Democratic party for the deficit
in our revenue IS to blame the party
and Woodrow Wilson for the war in
Europe.
"The tax that has been levied to
make up the deficit is no greater than
the Republicans levied in 1898 during
the Spanish American war.
"When the Democrats went into
office two years ago, the Republicans
predicted that the farmer might as
well go out Of business. Wheat is more
than twenty cents higher now than it
was then and corn has increased ten
cents on the bushel.
Cotton is lower than it ordinarily
is because the war has prevented ship
ping it away. We use about eight
million bales a year and our country
produces about fifteen million, and the
difference between what the country
consumes and the amount produced
shows the number of bales unsold to-
day.
During my term in Office | have
cast 900 recorded votes, and do not |
believe that my opponent, Mr.. Brown,
has criticized one of that number, ex-
cept possibly the Underwood Bill. I

the unrest caused by the European
war situation, there is some danger Of
the farmers and poultry raiscrs sell
ing off their laying hens and pullets so
closely that their profits from this
branch of agriculture will be serious
ly affected during the next year. Up
on 4 recent visit to Eldorado Springs,
Missouri, we were told by the bankers
of that city that the poultry and eggs
shipped from that place amounted 20
more than all the receipts from the
sale Of horses, cattle hogs and sheep
combined. And still this is 4 splendid
stock raising section.
At other places we are told that the
poultry products amount to more than
the receipts from the sale of either
wheat or corn, and in some places as
much as both combined.
More dry goods, grocery, clothing
and bills are paid by the product from
the poultry yard than by most any
other one thing. Our State Labor
Bureau states that the surplus poultry
products of the State amc2nt to about
$50, 100000 each year. By actual test
at our Missouri Poultry Experiment
it has been shown that hen

bodies have been recovered and 159
of The 3O2 men entOmbed in Franklin
Coal Coke company mine escaped. The
remaining 116 miners are still in the
shaft.
]. C. Mitchell, owner of the mine,
says little hope for the entombed men
is entertained.
The mine is still on fire and it will
either be flooded or sealed.
Frantic efforts are being made by
members of the mine rescue staff, who
arrived here in their rescue car at II
o'clock, and a corps of volunteers to
penetrate the burning entrance.
The explosion occurred shortly after
the men had descended into the west
entry to start their days work. Fifty
men were waiting at the top to join
the workers below when the blast oc-
Cured.
Appeals were at once made for vol
unteers to descend for the entombed
miners. The fans were reversed and
forced air into the mine, and the res
cuers attempted to descend.
Their initial efforts were baffled by
a rush Of flames. Shortly afterw9~
the air from the fans forced the flames
from the bottom of the shaft, and the
rescuers descended, to find Is bodies
in heap at the bottom.
Rescue work was hampered by fran
tic crowds of women and children,
who surged about the top of the shaft
They were finally roped off by mine
officials and prevented from descend
ing into the drifts. ...
The rescued men were found in
groups near the bottom of the shaft.
Many of them are seriously burned or
injured as result of the explosion.
James Harris, a volunteer rescuer,
father of Russell Harris, one of the en-
tombed miners, descended with the
first rescue crew in search of his son.
He failed to find his son, but, discover
ing Is dazed and injured miners in a
pocket in the burning drift, led them
through the mine and out an adjoining
drift untouched by the flames.
The mine was one of the largest and |
richest in the Big Muddy district and |
Southern Illinois, producing the finest |
equality of coal in the Middle West. |
The shaft was comparatively new hav-
ing been sunk less than 10 years ago. |
1t was near the famous Letter mine at |
years ago by an explosion charged to
Zeigler, which was wrecked several |
persons connected with labor disturb |
ances, while the mine was being OPP
Grated by nOnuniOn men.

HEARING TO-DAY ON PLAN
FOR EMPLOYMENT BUREAU
Chai rman Melton, OF Council Subcom-
Dlittce, Invites All Interested Per-
sons to Express Their Views.

advisa bility of creating a municipal
employment bureau. issued n call yes
terday afternoon for n meeting OF the
committee at l2 O'Clock noon to-day
Besides Alderman Melton the commit
tee Is composed OF Councilman Haddon
and Jones.
Under an amendment to the charter
authorized by the last General As
s"mblY the city is given power TO con-
duct municipal employment bureau.
CITY Attorney Pollard has prepared n
model ordinance creating such de-
partment, TO. consist OF an independent
board OF five members to be appointed
By the Mayor. This board. the ordi-
nance provides. shall employ Il paid
manager to conduct the business of the
bureau. The compensation of the man
ager az well as the appropriation for
the general support OF this activity
is left for the Council to determine.
The ordinance was presented TO tho
Common Council and was By 1t re-
ferrcd to the Committee on Ordinaces,
which In turn referred it to Il special
subcommittee of which Alderman Mel
ton is chairman. Several citizens have
Indicated their desire to he heard with
regard to the proposed bureau, and
all interested persons VIII have an op-
portunity at to-days meeting TO give
the committc the benefit OF their views.
II is regarded as certain that the sub
committee will in it's report TO the
parent committee recommend tho crca-
ton of the new department. The pro-
posal to place the bureau under the
direction OF an Independent board has
met with considerable criticism on the
ground that multiplication Of In
dependent boards in the city govern
ment is undesirable. II is suggested In
some quarters that the bureau may
safely be left to the direction of the
Administrative Board. Another plan
would make the director of the en-
ploymcnt bureau an officer to he elect
ed by the Council and responsible to
it In the same manner as the city
Auditor.
