W. I. Vawter, Pres. aame subject. Such legislation, he says, will be In the interest of both the decent cor poration and th law-abiding labn unlons. ' In tbi connection, h sounds a warning to the labor lead era who have objected to the Incln slon of labor organisations la the anti-trust law amendment, and ear plainly that the exception of tht unlona from the operation of the law would render the measure in valid. The legislation he proposes, be points out, will not interfere In anr way with tb right of the laboring men to combine, to conduct peaceable atrlkes, to make trade agreements with their employers and to perform other legitimate acta. There are, however, he polnta out, cases in which trades unlona may take them selves from under the protection of the law by attempting to interfere with or restrain Interstate commerce, as, for example, by boycott or black list. Hence the necessity of their Inclusion in the trust-law amend ment la this connection the President pleads for immediate legislation for the preservation ot the Injunction power, the abuae of which, be de clares, bra placed it in Jeogtrdy from Its enemies.

Among other matters toachet upon la the message is the necessity tor an appropriation sufficient to permit the examination ot railroad books of accounts and record under the provlslcns ot the Hepbarm law, which. It ia stated, will be shorn of most of Its valuable feature if the Interstate Commerce Commission Is not given means with which to con duct its investigations Into the opera tion of railroads Incompetently or corruptly managed. The President gones en to say that it is his personal belief that ulti mately we ahall have to adopt a Na tional corporation law, though he la well aware that this may be Impos sible at present. The man who preaches hatred of wealth honestly acquired Is a menace to the community.

It waa hardly con atderid proper for a lady to walk these streets without an escort, now they are last as orderly as any In tbe city. Property on them has ad vanced from 10 to 25 per oenl. rlf teen new stores, containing bouse tarnishing goods, have been started since prohibition went Into effect, More furniture has been told to mar- chanloa and laboring men In tbe past twelve months than In any twelve months daring the history of tbe elty Storse in wbioh tbe llaaor trade waa I coodujtei are not vacant, bat are now occupied by other ltaes of trades ; According to tbe real estate men more laboreis and men of limited ; means are baying lo.s now than ever before.

Accordion to tbe coal dealers many people bought coal and stored It away last winter who were never known to do so before. A leading proprietor of a millnery sture said that he had sold more hats and bonnets to laboring men for their wives and daughters than before in the history of hla business. Con tractors say their men do better work and when they receive their wages spend them, for fljur, bams, dry roods, for the necessary thingt for tbe it families."

H. Daily, former school superintendent. 1 bops to state tba taota wltbont shade for aayoae tbe taota thataoa- froot me and all others concerned ia my affairs at this time. First P. H.

Prim (Democrat), sad foot years under Judge Dunn jrepubltoan), In neither case was he required to turn over Institute Foods to ths Treas urer. It bad long been tbe;practloe in this county to bold this fund each year until toe time of tbe Annual institute aad thsn apply It to Insti tute expenses as by law provided. As to tbe expeoss of institutes, any educator tn tbe county will testify that tbia fond waa apent and proba bly over-reached each time. One examination was held after tbe An nual Institute of 1907 in wbioh the fees amounted to about 170, wbioh amount 1 deposited for paymenttoe tbe day of P. H. Daily's resignation to be paid to treasurer or aopeila- tendent as tbe county court shoola choose. All pertiej coaoerned know tbese statements to be facts, and tbe recoxde show them to be so. Second I am jonfronted with tbe affaire connected with District 78. Wben P.
