Home Guards
To Organize.
When Proper Author
ity Is Received.

The second meeting of the citi-
zens of Hamilton who are interes
ted in the organization of COM
pany of Home Guards in this city
was held al the Y. M. Z. A. on
last Friday night Capt. August
Margedant presided. There were
thirty-f four men present at this
meeting and much enthusiasm
seemed TO prevail.
Congressman Warren G,.rd, who
was present, stated that he is Ia
communication with secretary of
war, Newton Baker, with reference
as to just what steps should be
taken in the formation Of the
guard When he receives the de
sired information from secretary
Baker, Mr.. Gard will deliver 1t in
an address before the organization.
Mr. James Murphy offered mo-
ton which carried, that the forma,
lion of company of Home Guards
in Hamilton be held in abeyance
until the proper authority therefore
is received.
Home Guards are being organ
ICED everywhere throughout the
country. There are facts surround :
ing these organizations which or
ganized labor Is scrutinizing very
closely for the purpose of learning
whether CT not they are to be used
for strikbreaking purposes.
The proposition was discussed at
the recent convention of the State
Federation of Labor in Cincinnati.
Union men were urged to join the
Home Guards and to use their in
huence to see that it is organized
along right lines and not TO be used
to coerce wage earners in industrial
controversies.
A number of trade unionists in
this city have signifed their inten-
ten 10 join the local company.
Others say they will wait until
they know the object of the or
ganization

IT'S JOB GONE

One Of the most pathetic features Of
the bone dry" law in Mississippi is
that the Anti-Saloon League will also
die of thirst.
At any rate, it ought to die, because
there will be no further excuse for it's
existence and certainly no reason
why our people should pay out good
money for the support Of such an or
ganization
Last year the Anti-Saloon League
mulcted the simple-minded people of
Mississippi of more than 100000. One
man alone, r. G. Woolley, according to
his own confession, collected nearly
$4,000 within few weeks, while
making an alleged campaign to sus-
tain the quart-ata-time law.
Therefore, IL you have bean nunrs
hered among the victims of this polit.
zeal gang, which maintains hsadquags
ters In Ohio. and you are approached
after July 1st for continuance OF
your contribution, just tell tho solo

Whx rhey Have ereen easks.

Why the United States banknotes
are printed with green backs is not
generally known although there is a
most excellent reason for 1t, The great
drawback to paper currency, says the
Baltimore American is the likelihood
of its being counterfeited, and there
fore experts are constantly at work to
contrive ways Of making it impossible
to copy such bills.
Stacy J. Edison was the man who in
1857 invented the green ink that Uncle
Sam uses on his bank bills. The ink,
which was patented, is anti-photo-
graphic-that is, it cannot be photo
graphed, nor can counterfelters in try
fng to get facsimile Of the notes move
II with alkalies. The secret OF the In
gradients of the ink of course is care
fully preserved.

smokeless and bunker coal operators
that the miners have received a total
increase of but 13 cents ton in the
last three years as against a price
boost by the operators ranging from
$1-75 to $2.25 a ton. Official documents
were produced to back the govern

TALLAHASSEE HAS
GIVEN UP HOPES
OF GETTING CAMP
SPECIAL TO THE JOURNAL.

Tallahassee, Fla, Sept. 22.-Be-
cause the government desires a larger
tract of cleared, uninhabitated land
than lies in this section Of the state
and because time will not permit local
interests purchasing enough of the
kind of property wanted, Tallahassee
has practically given up hope of Sc
curing the site for a training camp
or artillery target range, but there
is indication that the authorities may
decide to locate military school Of
arms and machine gun school on some
of the lands in this and Wakulla
county which were shown Captain l..
Davis, the personal representative of
General Leonard Wood, and his
craftsman and other aides, who
looked over the territory offered when
the local committee appointed for the
purpose took them out in an automo-
bile to inspect the surrounding coun-
try. The local committee was COM
posed of DR.. w. L. Moor, Capt. Rufus
E. Rose and Capt. B. H. Beverly, &C.
companied by Mr.. A. M. Henry, who
drove the car for them.
Capt. Davis said the United States
wanted $50 square miles, all in one
piece, no IldG WOOuS anu ufliIludDICeu.
Two hundred thousand acres were
wanted, but the government would ac-
cept one hundred and fifty thousand
acres If that much of the desired
lands were available.
The federal army board for the
Southeastern district, headquarters at
Charleston, will meet in few days
and report to Washington its selec-
tions from Florida to Texas. Capt.
Davis declared after the inspection
tour over Wakulla and Leon that the
territory surrounding Tallahassee was
ideal but hardly large enough for
the purposes of the government, al
though the government may deter
mine to locate some kind of camp or
school in this vicinity. That the
military men were impressed by the
country offered by the committee, was
evident. 1t resembles the rolling
country of Northern France, where
the trained men must later fight, and
its climate is so near the same that
the government officials who were
sent here by General Wood made
made favorable comments. 1t Isl
known that their report will not be
on the whole adverse, because they
said so.
