INSuRES EMPLOYEES
John Bollman Company In
augurates New Industrial
Welfare Scheme

In line with modern efforts to-
ward welfare in working .condi-
tions, one progressive manufac-
turer in San Francisco has re-
Gently inaugurated a plan of in
suring the lives of its employees,
free of any charge to them.
Under this plan, each employee
of the company is asked to de-
signate in writing the person or
persons he or she wishes to be-
come beneficiary in the event of
death. To such beneficiary, this
company has agreed to pay the
sum of $500.00 in the event of
the death of the employee.
The plan has received the
hearty approval of the large
corps of factory workers, office
employees and statesmen en-
ployed by the company. Especi-
ally in the case of factory work.
ers the insurance has been great
ly appreciated, as it often hap
pens that they are not in position
to provide for those dependent
upon them in case of their death.
A glance at the list Of benefi-
ciaries designated is interesting
from the point of appreciation of
this insurance. For example,
one woman has requested that
the$500. O0be distributed amongst
her seven children. Doubtless,
she feels that at least she has
now some small protection for
those dear to her in, case their
support is withdrawn by reason
of her death.
The John Bollman Company,
who have established this new
scheme, are large manufacturers
of cigarettes in San Francisco.
This is in line with the many
other favorable working condi-
tions for those employed by them
that they have embodied into
their new and modern plant. .}
A trip through this modern
factory, with its spotless tile
walls, it's light, cheerful working
floors, rest room, shower bath
and restaurant facilities, is an
an education along industrial
welfare lines.

A CAMPAIGN JOKE
The Republican Press Agent
Writes OF a Meeting That
Never was Held

PHOENIX, Ariz., Oct. 27-The
greatest joke of the present cam
paign has just been uncovered
here by the officers Of the Demo-
cratic State Central Committee.
Every person in Arizona who
reads newspaper has probably
read the effusion sent out by the
G. O. P. press agent relative to
the large and enthusiastic"
meetings held over the State by
Tom Compbell and j. H. Kibbey.
Well, on the morning of October
9th, the Arizona Republican and
other republican State papers,
contained a long-winded special
telegram from Springerville,
Apache county, telling Of another
Of those large and enthusiastic"
meetings held in that town the
night before by Campbell and
Kibbey. The telegram related
in detail the speeches made by
these two republican spell bind
ers and stated that at the con-
clusion of their speeches scores of
democrats came forward to
pledge their support to the re-
publican nominees.
Eventually a copy of the Re-
publican containing this telegram
reached Springerville, and when
it did, there was an uproar, for
be it known, Kibbey and Camp
bell had not visited that place
and no such speeches as men,
toned in the telegram had ever
been delivered there. 1t seems
that the two speakers originally
intended to visit Springerville
but later decided not to. How
every the G. 0. p. publicity man
is an ambitious soul, and over a
pipe full of tobacco and a cup of
strong coffee, he held a meeting
all by himself even unto the
veriest details. 90
The expose of the republican
press agents methods has started
a laugh wherever the story is
known and it is believed here
that he will confne himself to
actual meetings hereafter in
sending out his kilograms.
Graham guardian., 1916-10-27

The press stories sent out in
reference to the republican meet
ingsby publicity managerSmalley
are amusing. A recent wire said
that one lone democrat applauded
Governor Hunt at Winslow. If
we remember correctly, Cover
nor Hunt, in the recent primaries,
polled 76 per cent bf 1the'entfre
registered vote of Winslow.
Some difference between the re-
publican press reports and the
actual facts.

BRIDGE IS NEEDED

If there is any way possible
for the board of supervisors to
provide funds for rebuilding the
north approach of the Pima
bridge, which was washed away
by the recent floods of the Gila
river, it will certainly be appre-
ciated by a large number of peo-
pie who reside on both sides of
the river and find the bridge alb
solutely necessary in crossing to
either side.

1T IS TO LAUGH"

Here we have Candidate
Hughes placating and playing
hard for the German-American
vote and Roosevelt 'skinning

We see Candidate Hughes and
his chairman, Wilcox, condemn
ing the child labor law as a fraud
and a hoax and a joker, and
Senator Cummins and Ex-senator
Beveridge praising it; Senator
Cummins saying that ANYONE
who denounces it is either ignor-
ant or incompetent"
Here is Candidate Hughes op-
posing and criticising the Adam
son eight-hour law, and seventy
republican congressman who
voted for it running for re-elec-
ton on their records, and the
twenty-eight republican senators
who allowed the bill to pass when
they could have easily defeated
it.
We have innumerable republi-
can speakers, from Candidate
Hughes down, saying that our
prosperity is fictitious, " mere
ly temporary" or consisting
wholly of war munitions" and
on the other hand every bank
and railroad and big business is
in the most prosperous condition,
and the stocks on the market all
going up.

WILSON PROCLAIMS
 THANKSGIVING DAY
Names Thursday, November 30, and Suggests Gifts to Suffer- CTS From the European War.

Washington, Nov. 17.-President Wilson today formally, by proclama- tion, designated Thursday, November 30, as Thanksgiving Day.
 The proclamation follows:
 Ut has long been the custom of our people to turn, in the fruitful autumn of the year in praise and .hanksgiv- ing to Almighty God for his many blessings and merces to us and to the nation.
 "The year that has elapsesd since We last observed our day of thanks giving has been rich in blessings to us as a people, but the whole face Of the world has been darkened by war. In the midst of our peace and happi- ness our thoughts dwell with painful disquiet upon the struggles and sui ferings of the nations at war, and of the people upon whom war has brought disaster without choice or possibility of escape on their part. We cannot think of our own happi- ness without thinking of their pitiful distress.
 Now, therefore, l. Woodrow Wil- son, president of the United States of America, do appoint Thursday. the thirtieth of November, as day of national thanksgiving and prayer, and urge and advise the people 10 resort to their places of worship on that day to render thanks to Almighty God for the blessings of peace and unbroheu prosperity which He has bestowed upon our beloved country in such m- stinted measure.
 And also urge and suggest our duty in this, our day of peace and abundance to think in deep sympathy of the stricken peoples of the world upon whom the curse and terror of war has so pitilessly fallen, and to Icontribute out of our abundant means to the relief of their sufferings.
 "Our people could in no better way show their real attitude toward the present struggle of the nations than by contributing out of their abund- ance to the relief of the suffering which war has brought in its train.

TILLMAN B. PARKS; '.'..
 IS NOT WITH HODGES

Tillman B. Parks, accre dited with the Gt2tcTont that South Arkansas would have candidate for the Demo- cratic nomination for governor since Colonel McRae has withdrawn. has denied a report that he is supporting Secretary of State Hodges. The Four States Press of Texarkana says:
 "Tillman B. Parks, prosecuting at torney for the district in which Mill Ter county, Arkansas, is located, ac- cording to statement carried in the Four States Press, was accredited with having, since the withdrawal of T., c. McRae from the gubernatorial race, aligned himself with the forces under the banner of Secretary of State Earle Hodges. s'
 'In telephone communication yes- terday from Prescott, MT. Parks ask ed that correction be- made of this statement, inasmuch as he will not support MT. Hodges in his campaign and as MT. Parks is standing square ly on the issues he is supporting in the election, which, according to his statement, are not in line with, those advocated by MT. Hodges, the correc- tion as to MT. Parks attitude in the governors race is made.
 While MT. Parks does not state on which side he will align himself, he does most emphatically state that some candidate other than the secre- tary of state will receive his support. '
