Old BOreas
Finally Arrives

Old Man Boreas came to town about
nightfall Wednesday evening, some
what Unexpectedly, and few there
were who were prepared for such a
close embrace of the frigid monster.
All night long he ragged around, push
ing the temperature down to several
degrees below zero, bursting some
water pipes, and causing many other
hardships to be endured. Beds were
also piled heavily with comforters in
order to WOO slumber.
This was really the first visit of
the season that the old gentleman
has made, being satisfied heretofore
to send his boys. Just why the "old
man" chose to so suddenly to make
his appearance we have not been in
formed, neithed do we understand.
We feel that whenever he elects to
come this way, it would be nothing
more than fair and right that he give
a little notice of such appearance, in
order that he may be properly re-
ceived. And even then we would like
to suggest, if such suggestion be not
out of order, that he pass along as
quietly as possible.

New Board
5s s..'... .,a of Directors

A meeting of the stockholders of the
Quick Payment Old Line Life Insur-
ance Co., of Bonnie Terre, was held at
that place Tuesday, for the purpose
of electing new Board of Directors,
which resulted in the choosing of the
following gentlemen: John C. Segar,
A. o. Thornton, l. L. Page and A.
Gordon of Bonnie Terre; Dan O'Sulli-
van, Francis A. Benham and L. o.
Wells of Pennington; A. Roth of Fes-
tus, and James H. Moore of st. Louis.
The personnel of this Board of Di-
rectors is one of the strongest posi-
bic recommendation as to the stabil-
ity and responsibility of the Quick
Pay Life Insurance Co., as every name
above mentioned is that of thor
oughly reliable and responsible citi-
zen. With such Board of Directors
this insurance company's business is
sure to continue the rapid growth it
has made since its organization. An
inspection of the recent statement
published in this paper, of its finan-
cial condition, convinces us that the
management of this company is in
experienced and safe hands.

THAT RECENT RIOT
AT E. YOUNGSTOWN
Brings to Mind Some Forceful Remind
ers of Its Why's and WherefOres as
Demonstrated in This County

Plead with Americans to protect
their life and property; and those who
were here in those days well know
that if it had not been for the Ameri-
can boys, the true blue opponents of
honest and fair dealing labor organi-
cations, st. FraneOis county might
have witnessed tAe same carnage that
befell East Youngstown, Ohio, last
week.
What reward did the American la
borers in st. FraAcois county get for
services then2
The lead mining companies dumped
several thousand more ignorant for
eign laborers into s. Francois county
to take the woEh IN the mines that
had hitherto besa done in the main by
American miners

forth are ineoassivertible. No one
who is familiar with the facts will
deny them. They furnished food for
thought among IN honest, thinking,
fair minded peopk of st. Francois
county.
simply state me facts.
| have 10 comment to make.
l leave it to the people to find their
own conclusions b the light of facts
submitted.
Did the business rsep, the merchants
of st. Francois county lead district,
ever stop to thaAh about the losses
they have suffered by the exchange
of the American miner for the Euro
peans imported By the big lead COM
panies?
The Americas miner spends his
money at home,
The foreign-boTa miner sends his to
the home folks IN Europe.
The American miner builds home
for himself and farsiiy in America.
The American merchant gets the
patronage of the American miner.
The money of the European miner
is spent in a foreign country.
Further comment on this subject
is unnecessary for the enlightenment
of the merchants Of the Lead Belt dis
trict.
And lest we forget, we of this dis
trict should remember that G. B.
Parsons and Frank p. Graves, who
were the real friends of the Ameri-
can miners in the St. Francois county
lead district, are gone to their last
reward. Their memory will ever be
held in fond reverence by the laboring
men they befriended here during their
life time. They were the friends and
associates in the st! Joe Lead Com
pany councils Of the late John A.
Holmes, who was also a true friend
of the laboring men in these, parts.
We have in his son, Mr. Robert
Holmes, of St. Louis, friend in
whom we can now depend.

ness men of this district will remem-
Der this. Yours truly, .S,

Mr.. Editor
There was a most disgraceful riot
at East Youngstown, Ohio, last week,
the result of which was the loss of
more than twenty lives of innocent
American citizens.
1t was not a labor riot, brought on
by organized American labor, as the
corporate Big Business interests who
are eternally decrying organized la
Dor, would have the people of this
country believe.
1t was the result of this same Big
Business methods of importing ig-
norant and servile European loborers
to take the place of intelligent Amer
lean laborers in American fields of
labor.
East Youngstown, Ohio, is SUI
burb of Youngstown proper, and has
a population of about $4,000 people,
only 400 of whom are naturalized
American citizens, the other 11,600
of its population are imported to
work in factories by the corporations
operating them.
The citizen soldiery of Ohio was
called out by the Governor of that
State to quell the rioters and restore
law and order, and thus it appears
that several hundred American citi-
zens were called upon to risk their
lives to protect the property of a
gang of imposters of foreign labor
ers, who have no interest in the coun-
try beyond the price of their daily
wage.
Then, pardon me, please, if I arise
to remark, that it is about time for
all good Americans to make new
Declaration of independence. Let
us declare for the emancipation Of
American laborers and at the same
time let us brand as unfriendly to
America the corporations who seek to
misrepresent and destroy the honest
and well meaning organizations of
American laborers by importing and
bringing into competition with our
American-born boys and men the low
bred scum of the European labor mar
ket.
We Of st. Francois county remem-
Der well the strike of laborers work
ing in the lead mines of this county
some three years ago.
And it is pertinent here to remark
and inquire who it was that then, on
several occasions, during that strike,
held up on the public highways of the
county and threatened the life of
the high Sheriff of st. Francois coun-
ty?
Was it the American laborers work.
ing in the mines of this county? No,
Was it the foreigners imported and
installed in the lead mines here? Yes.
While we are on this subject let US
also ask ourselves where were the high
salaried officers of the st. Francois
county lead companies while all this
lawlessness was going on, with their
foreign laborers as the instigators OF
the trouble?
This question is easily answered
They were riding in their magnificent
automobiles, and they hiked them
selves to Pennington and there ask
ed for the protection of the Sheriff
and the other American boys there
abouts.
