Many Found Fit;
FeWDesire Service

! The Exemption Board is now busy
examining into the fitness of those
who have been summoned before them
on first call for service in the great
army that is now being prepared for
service in France. 1t is a big task,
but the Board members are discharg-
ing their duties in an expeditions
manner.
Those who have thus far been ex-
amined have made most creditable
record, insofar as their physical con-
dition is concerned. Of about 200
who were examined Wednesday, only
about forty were found to be physi-
cally unfit for service. But it is in
the exemptions that will be asked that
perhaps the greatest trouble will
come. Of the 100 who were found to
De physically fit, about 1877 will claim
exemption, married" being the prin-
cip2l claim for exemption.
So that, when the physically def
cient as well as those claiming ex-
emption are deducted from the total,
but few remain who are willing to
serve their country without further
ado, This condition Of affairs will
cause the Exemption Board to use
somewhat stringent means in order to
overcome what appears to be lesser
claims for exemption.
The facts are that this is "free
and easy" age in America, and the
general tendency is to get along with
the least possible eXertion. Another
very apparent thing at this time is
that the people of this country. gem

Motor Truck for
Road Work Here

The Garford Motor Truck, which
was recently purchased by the St.
Francois Coul.5 Court, arrived here
from st. Louis the lastgof the week
and was for several days on exhibi-
tion on the north side of the public
square The cost of this truck was
$1,000, and the first use to which it is
intended to place it is to distribute the
great iron chat dump at Iron Noun
tain over the roads of st. Francois
county. In this work it will be very
materially assisted by two trailers,
which were purchased at the same
time, but which have not yet arrived.
The truck will carry load of from
six to eight tons, and will also haul
the two trailers, both heavily loaded.
In this way, according to calculations,
it will not require much time to trans
fer that mountain of iron chat and
spread it over the surface of st. Fran
co.'s county roads. That it is the fin
est possible surfacing for roads with
a foundation has already been proven.
1t is intended to keep the truck
busy at least twenty hours out of ev-
cry twenty-four on road work. I'M
proved leaders will also be installed at
the chat dump, so that no time will
be wasted in loading, and the truck
and trailerg will be kept constantly
on the move. When the present chat
dump, which the County Court pur-
chased for 25 cents a square, is de-
pleted, providing sufficient other chat
has not been provided from the iron
mountain mine workings, the truck
and trailers will perhaps be kept busy
surfacing the remainder of public
roads of the county with crushed rock.
The present prospects are that
practically all the roads Of St. Franz
co.'s county will soon be very mater
tally improved, whether there is a
bond issue or not. But suitable bond
issue at this time would very mater
tally assist in putting the entire road
system of the county in first-class
condition. Next years road funds
will have To be drawn on in order to
keep this splendid road machinery 60
ing, which should not be necessary in
one Of the wealthiest counties in the
entire State
Don't hold st. Francois county back
any longer. Let her have a S500,000
or $1,000,000 bond issue, and allow her
to take the place to which she is en-
leader among the counties
Of this great State-not laggard.

Fifty Happy Years

The Times management particular
ly regrets that it was not informed Of
the fjftieth wedding anniversary of
Rev. and Mrs. G. W. Harlan in time
to give proper attention to that most
happy event, while the affair was real
ly news. But, even though mention
of that auspicious occasion may now
not be considered news in it's truest
sense, we believe a mention of it will
still be appreciated by the many
friends of this most estimable couple,
who still appear to get as much hap
piness out of life as though they were
still children.
July 10th was the date of the cele-
bration Of their fiftieth wedding an
niversary, and was the occasion for
the gathering of about fifty friends
Of this truly remarkable old couple,
to Rev. and Mrs. Harlan as token of
found that had been guests at their
marriage. Rev. Harlan gave an in
teresting synopsis of the fifty years
Of companionship Of "the queen" and
himself. 1t is as "the queen" that he
invariably speaks of his wife. and
all who are acquainted with her know
that she is deserving of such desig-
nation.
Before the guests took their de-
parture a purse Of gold was presented
Rev. and Mrs. Harlan as a token of
friendship, love and esteem. The
daily life Of this excellent couple is
indeed benediction to this entire
community.

Much has been said since the start
ing of the mining trouble in the Lead
Belt, regarding the inability to get
Americans to do the shoveling that
is necessary in the various shafts
there, hence the absolute necessity
for foreign labor. Those who make
such argument clothe the Hunk
with all ability as shovelers, and at
the same time take from the Ameri-
can every ability in such vocation, ev-
identity overlooking entirely the fact
that it was American labor entirely
that developed that great district, in
which, until comparatively recent
years, the foreigner was unknown.
For instance, when the st. Joe Co.
first came into that field, it came in
with empty pockets, and its operators
were compelled to depend entirely up
on American labor from st. Francois
and adjoining counties for all kinds
of labor. In those times of extreme
stress the operators were never left
destitute of workers, but laborers were
always at hand. Not only were they
always ready to do any task set for
them, but they were often forced to
wait for months for their wages-of-
ten as long as nine months did the
miners in the early days wait for their
wages. That was some test of loyal
ty, was it not? And yet, many sons
of these early miners, whose loyalty
was proved by the acid test, are now
being refused work by this same
company, as well as other companies
in the Lead Belt. How is that for
reciprocity?
Never in history, during the most
prosperous days of Doe Run. under
the management of F. P. Graves, was
there ever employed in the mills, in
the furnaces or underground, sin
gle foreigner; yet the mines in those
days were run continuously and sue
cessfully. There is such thing as
heart, even in operating mines in this
twentieth century. The workmen are
human beings, the same as the operat-
ors. The same God created them
both. The sooner this fact is realized
and borne in mind by the mine operat-

Grand Jury Finds
f13 Indictments

2 The grand jury, which was recently
empanelled to investigate into the late
trouble in the Lead Belt, finished it's
labors Wednesday afternoon and were
discharged from further duty. They
somewhat eagerly left for their va
rious homes, where they felt there
was great need for their services, as
every man on that jury is indeed a,
business man, whose affairs require
their personal attention. At least
practically all of them felt so.
Circuit Judge Peter H. Huck, who
arrived here Wednesday morning, in
anticipation that the grand jury had
about completed its work, was pres
ent to receive their findings and to
dismiss the jury. This he did with
appropriate remarks, thanking the
members for their jealous work in
behalf of the law and the upholding
of good citizenship. He felt that the
work they had been chosen to do had
been well performed.
As an indication of the great amount
of work performed, there were 113
indictments returned, all of which
grew out of the recent Lead Belt
trouble. The different charges rep
resent practically all the crimes in
the calendar, except murder. The va
rious defendants are charged with
robbery, assault with intent to kill,
common assault, grand larceny, burg
larry and larceny, conspiracy to COM
nit felony, melting riot, interfering
with lawful employment, etc.
In single ~indictment on conspir-
acy to commit felony there are 70
defendants While many of those
against whom indictments have been
returned are now in custody, many
others are yet to be apprehended.
Against few of those now in Jail no
charge was found, and these will
probably be given their liberty at
once. The next regular term of cir
cult court will not convene until the
October term, but many of those
against whom indictments have been
returned have the right to demand an
immediate trial.
The grand jury submitted a written
report, stipulating, among other
things, that they had visited the coun-
ty Jail and infrmary, and commended
the conditions at both places.

employed in that district land whom,
we understand, are now rapidly CONS
ing back, are subjects Of Austria
Hungarian governments. While the
United States is not really at war
with those countries, they are now
the right hand oflstrength to the nKais-
er, with whom we really have a lit
tie difference. While there is not to
exceed ten per cent of those foreign
ers who have become naturalized---
possibly not more than five per cent
practically none of them have taken
out their naturalization papers except
at the instigation of "boss", who
wished to use them for some selfish
purpose. Also many of these same
foreigners in Flat River have
lived, and are living, within a ra-
dius of the mines that was re-
Gently forbidden by Congress. Other
foreigners run machines in some of
the shafts, which position gives them
the right to go to the powder house
for explosives; nor is any check kept
on them regarding the amount of ex-
plosives they take out, as compared
with the amount they consume. In
this way, what is there to prevent
evilly inclined foreigners from soon
storing away sufficient amount of
explosives to work almost irreparable
damage to those mining properties?
Surely the governmental authori-
ties have not been familiar with the
real conditions that have been in ex-
istence in the Lead Belt. The Times is
thoroughly persuaded that had they
been things would never have been
permitted to have reached the crisis
that they did recently. We firmly be-
lieve that had Uncle Sam had his eye
on that situation, he would have ousted
from that field a very large percentage
of the foreigners, and had installed in
their places American boys-just the
kind of boys that he is now calling to
his standard to fight the countries
from which come the undesirable
foreigners who have been the cause of
so much trouble in the Lead Belt. But
we believe that your Uncle Samuel
now has his eye on the Lead Belt sit
uation, and we have all confidence in
his bringing order out Of chaos, there
as elsewhere.

| ors and owners, the quicker their la
Dor troubles will be at an end. Treat
them as your common sense suggests
you would like to be treated, were you
in their positions-and dawn will i'm
mediately appear.
That all this talk of the necessity of
foreigners in the Lead Belt, to do the
shoveling, is pure "bunc" can readily
be Illustrated to those making such
claims, by taking them to the Joplin,
CartcrviIle and Miami districts. where
they. nave some really big mines, and
employ thousands of miners. 1t is
absolutely impossible to find foreign
miner in any of those fields. Is there
anyone so ignorant as to deny that
they are getting results in those
fields? Those great mining fields
have long been strengthened by Amer
lean miners from the Lead Belt, who
have been forced out of there owing
to the uncertain labor conditions. And
IN all OF those fields the boys from the
Lead Belt are most eagerly sought,
as they, have the reputation of being
splendid workers.
linen, 700, the wage condition is
more satisfactory in those districts
than in the Lead Belt, where the min
ers are forced to depend, in large
measure at least, upon the Charity"
of the operators for a just wage. At
least the manner in which the "bonus
es" are tackled on or Topped off, are
calculated to make the miners feel
that their pay checks represent, not
what they have earned, so much as
what the operators are pleased to
"bestow" upon them. In other min
ing districts either the sliding wage
schedule governs, or else the men are
paid by piece work. Either of these
plans would aid very materially in
producing better work, as we'll as
greater satisfaction, among the min
ers, and perhaps would cost the op-
orators no more than under the pres
ent "bonus" system.
Another suggestion in regard to the
foreign contingent in the Lead Belt:

percentage Of the foreigners that were

Congressional Size

Hon. Arthur T. Brewster, a very
successful lawyer Of Ironton, Iron
county, was in Pennington Wednes-
day and Thursday of this week look
ing after the interest of clients,
and was warmly welcomed by
many friends. While Mr.. Brewster
has not been frequent visitor to this
city, nevertheless he has many friends
here He is not only splendid mix
er, but he appears to hold his friends
very close. In fact he must be pos
sessed of most unusual qualities, as
he is certainly most popular. 1t has
been said that there is not man in
the Thirteenth Congressional District
who knows more people, and at the
same time is known by more people,
than is Arthur Brewster. To his
strong personality is attributable the
fact that he has so many lasing
friends.
Many Of those who know the splen-
did work of Arthur Brewster have
been urging him to get into the race
for the Democratic nomination for
Congressman from the Thirteenth
District, believing that his chances to
land such nomination are considerably
above par. Mr.. Brewser has recently
been giving an attentive ear to these
suggestions and requests, and has
practically decided to make the race.
Should he be successful in landing the
nomination, then his election viii be
assured, as he is a forceful campaign
err. He also has a large practice in

Barrel House Closed

The barrel house at Jackson's place
a few miles out of Desloge, just over
the Ste. Genevieve county line, was
closed Monday by the officer in charge
of the troops stationed at Desloge
The location of this barrel house was
in violation of the Federal law which
prohibits intoxicating liquors being
sold within five miles of an encamp-
ment of soldiers.
The closing of that booze shop win
perhaps simplify, to a considerable ex-
tent, the enforcement of prohibition
throughout the Lead Belt.
