Journal the editor of that paper
submits an editorial headed Cor
ganized Labor can save Hamilton.
The editorial at the outset con-
demns the Molders' Union for as
saulting one of the non-union NIL
ders' who was employed at the
Niles Foundry. Without any
proof or evidence that it was union
| molders, that paper charges the
union molders with the assault.
The Journal does not know whether
| II was a union man or non union
man that did it, but 1t brszeuly
and unfairly condemns the union
| molders for the crime.
In the second paragraph of the
editorial 1t states that some senti.
ment in Hamilton has leaned tow
ard the molders' union, but the
acts of violence that the union has
resorted to has driven away frem
1t many who were inclined to be
sympathetic
The sympathy extended by some
people has been very shallow and
has not addes materially in settling
the molders' strike. About the
only sympathy that the molders
can RELY on Mr.. Gard is the sym
pathy extended by the working
men and women from their own
ranks. sympathy from certain
sources has been more detrimental
TO the working class in Hamilton
than any other one thing. Sym
pathy has not raised wages, nor
has il eeen the means of saving
Hamilton. The working class
does not want sympathy, it wants
the right to organize and the right
TO bargain with the !employer col
lectively and an agreement TO make
1t binding on all parties concerned.
The Evening Journal also ap-
peals to the great mass of sensible
and peace loving men in the ranks
of unien labsr to assert themselves.
Why dent the Journal ask the
manufacturers in the struck fac
tories TO assert themselves In max
ing peace with their employees.
Should 1t be the duty of Union men
and women to lay down in every
fight Mr.. Gard? Why is it you
are always appealing to the work
ing class TO lay down Is it be-
cause the dollars are not back OF
the strikers as ii is back of the
manufacturers, or Is the power OF
the corporations so great that you
fear to approach them en- the sub
ject?
The great conservative force in
the ranks of organized labor can
clear the atmosphere If given fair
chance to do so. What has the
Journal done TO give as the chance
to meet the manufacturer You
have never appealed to him to get
down to business, nor have yen
thought that he is just as mach al
fault for the atmosphere being con-
} taminated as organized labor Is.

J ! day Mr.. Gard ths whole system has

the working people.

that there are enough big minded

STUDENTS PAID VISIT
TO LOCAL Gas PLANT

The girls of the domestic science
class Of the Americus public schools
this orning made tour of inspection
of the gas plant Of the Americus Light
ing Company, being instructed in the
intricacies of gas-making by J. H.
Haines, who is in charge of the gas de-
partment of the company
The girls were accompanied by Miss
Nina Mexican, directress of the domes-
tic science department of the public
schools.
They received instruction as to the
methods employed in the manufacture
of gas, many of them previously hay-
ing no idea as to how this commodity
is prepared for use in the homes of
Americus citizens.
The girls were also instructed how
to read a gas meter correctly, and how
to get the best results from a gas
range, such as is used in the domes-
tic science laboratories at the school
building.

INSPECTORS FIND
CONDITIONS GOOD

That the citizens of Americus are
taking special precautions in the mat :
ters of conforming to the sanitary or
dinances of the city, is the report made
by the sanitary inspectors who have
been working for the past 10 days or
two weeks in various sections of the
community.
City Marshal w. T. Maynard and Po-
lice Officer W. w. Rigsby have been
making personal inspections of private
premises throughout the city and thus
far less than half dozen prosecutions
have been necessary to enforce the va
rious ordinances governing the situa-
ton
A few days before the sanitary in
spection was commenced, the author
tiles gave notice that all private prem
ises were required to be cleaned up,
and that all violators of the sanitary
ordinances would be prosecuted. AS a
result of this notification, property
owners evidently got busy with a ven
geance, for only a few cases were
found where drastic action was neces-
sary.
The inspections have been practi-
cally completed in the white residen-
tial section, and within few days the
inspection of the negro districts of the
city will be taken up.
This summer the authorities will
take special measures to prevent the
breaking out of epidemics and the en-
forcement of the sanitary ordinances
viii be pressed with determination.

ROOSEVELT DIVISION
HOLDS UP THE BILL

WASHINGTON, d. c.. May S.-Tne
house and senate conferees on the war
and army bills failed to reach an agree
nent after another conference today.
and recessed unit later The chief diff +
ference between the confres arose
over the senate amndmnt PRINTING
Col Theodore Roosevelt to raise vol
unteer division for service in France,
the house conferees opposing this Bit
terly.
Another point on which the conferees
failed to agree is the age limit for con
scription, the house bill placing the
limits at 81 and 40, while the senate
measure would take youths between 10
and 27. 1t is probable. however the
house will recede in its position and
accept the senate age limits.

ATLANTA, Ga, May S.-When doc

seems up to his patient to choose
whether he will disobey the doctor and
die, or disobey the law, and go to Jail.
The higher courts have been called up
on to pass on the case of Tony Buttin-
skie. whose name is real though it
sounds like joke. and who, when
caught with liquor in his possession
explained that his doctor had ordered
him to use it in sparing quantities for
his health. Tony was hned and given
thirty days in the stOckade, and now
he's going to take up his case, and see
what the higher courts have TO say on

MAY UNITE COUNTY
AND CITY OFFICES

At the regular meeting of the city
council tonight one of the principal
questions to be considered is that of eff
fecting a combination of the offices of
the county health commissioner and
tie city physician.
The county board of health, as well
as the city board of health, has recon-
mended that DR.. w. B. McWhorter,
county health commissioner, be desig
rated by the city council as city ply
sician, so that he may discharge the
duties of both offices, and so secure
more satisfactory results than could
be obtained were the two departments
to be operated separately
Dr. McWhorter was recently elected
to his present post under the provis-
ions of the Ellis public health bill and
has general jurisdiction throughout the
county in matters pertaining to the
public health.
DR.. d. B. MayeS, who for some time
past has been city physician in Ameri-
Gus, appeared at the last regular meet
ing of the city council to recommend
that DIR. McWhorter be designated as
city physician, thus combining the two
Offices. DR.. Mayes declared himself
ready to step down in favor of DR.. Nc
Whorter, believing that better results
can be obtained under this pan.
At the meeting tonight the question
viii be thoroughly discussed and it is
rot improbable that combination OF
the two offices will be effected, giving
DR.. McWhorter authority both in coun-
ty and health matters.

CANDLE SERMON
WAS A FEATURE:
Of THE RE WAL

Last night at the First Methodist
church, to what was probably one OF
the largest gatherings of children and
young folks ever had in Americus, 0.
W. Stapleton delivered his famous can
die sermon
1t would be useless to try to describe
this wonderful illustrated sermon, and
it is the universal verdict that this
lecture was the most original and
unique services ever held under relig
ious auspices.
To commence with, Stapleton pro-
duced a large American flag from what
seemed to be a great bundle of flags of
different nations. Then producing a
small flag from apparently nowhere.
Stapleton invited a small boy from
the congregation to the platform, to
hold the flag for him, but, presto! the
flag disappeared, but shortly afterward
was produced from a tube where mo-
ment before Stapleton had put lighted
candle. These two acts of ledgerder-
main greatly amused the congrega-
ton and assured Stapleton of their
wrapt attention for the remainder of
the evening.
A large table was on the platform,
OH which were many candles of differ
ent sizes and colors. A large candle
in the center represented Jesus, and
from the light of Jesus, all the other
candles were to be lighted But in all
cases there was some hindrance to the
candles receiving the light, and this
hindrance had to be removed before
the candle would receive the light.
Some candles would not receive the
light on account of a deck of cards,
others because their heads were in d
whiskey bottle, while money, temper,
obstinacy, pride, unclean hearts, and
many other things prevented them re-
ceiving the light Among those of spe-
cial mention was the church baby, who
cried every time that the preached
stopped. petting him. Also the church
member who would have his own way
or split the church wide open, was very
unique. Space does not permit giving
a detailed account of this lecture, but
it can safely be said that the lessons
derived will long be remembered by
those who were present.
Stapleton will give another one OF
His illustrated lectures Friday after
noon at p. m, at which all are
cordially invited to attend, and he has
many surprises in store for that SER
vice.
This morning Stapleton and c. d..
K;dder visited the High school, where
they entertained the pupils with songs
and readings. Kidder is fast winning
for himself a warm place in the hearts
Of the young people of the High school,
for his readings and parodies are

DATA FOR
ARGENTINE TRUANT OFFICERS

BuENOS AYRES, May S.-The edu-
cational authorities have been taking
census of Argentine children of
school age. The plan is to compare
the total number of children who ar
tually are in school. The officials are
understood to suspect that the COM
pulsory education law is being widely
disregarded. There is no question that
considerable illiteracy exists.
