tory was represented by a wagon
loaded with trunks, at this place in
the parade, and then a float advertis-
lug the Balaam Hay Proas. True to
ths name, the float, or wagon, was
drawn by the far-famed “Balaam
asses.” King's Sanitary Dairy happened
along, and ths little girls that peeped
from out of large ice cream tr—sors
came la for lots of applaune. The
automobile of the Underwood Type-
writer Company was next, and it was
followed by a band, the head of the
third division.

honest policy.
It la difficult to think of a greater
calamity to Mexico and the United
Btates just now than American tuter-

the United Btates, in their ignorance
of the situation, would probably ap-

an armed ramp against every Ameri-
ran. Under those etrcumstances it
would require not less than half a
million men to hold the eountry and
restore order. This estimate ta given
me by an officer of the American
army. Intervention couldn't possibly
accomplish anything permanent since
what the people need lo education. It
woujd arouse the dormany hatred off
every Latin-A ano ri oca from Bl Paso to
the Straits off Magellan against the
United Btates and cripple American
trade tremendously. And last, but not

country which.is still sparsely settled

Now that the war* are practically
over and the work of reconstruction
can proceed. It may be predicted with
all confidence that twelve years or two
terms in the presidential chair will
make Madero one of the great National
heroes of Mexico, tor he has the cour-
age to do things that will not be at-

twenty years. He has no strings tied

danger is that ha may go faster than

The display of the Lone Star Ice

was all one mother could do to keep

THE DAM CELEBRATION
, When, the time finally rolled around
for the speeches at the dam, It was
estimated that 4000 persons were on
the grounds. The seats, which were
in front of a email board platform,
were crowded and the closest attention
was given the orators off ths day
On the platform were H. Perty, Joe
Amatead. T H MeGreger, Bam Sparks,
P W Powell, D. H. Harper, C H Kel-
lum and Martyn Broderick
C H Kellum opened the program
by glvin a short talk on organized
labor, its past, present, and its hopes
for the future Ho then introduced
J D Moore as "mister of ceremonies."
Mr Moore, after an eloquent talk, in-
trod used Ram flparka a
Mart CREDrr for "THE POORMAN.
THE CHILD LABOR LAW.
The speaker then dwelt for a while,
on What organised labor' had accom-
pUshed, and told of what he hoped to
be able to accomplish in the future.
He spoke of the child labor law and
Indorsed it and said that this year he
intended making an effort to'put a law
on the books that would prohibit largo
retail bouses from forcing their women
employes to remain standing the en-
tire day. He asked the assistance of
the laboring men. and promised that if
they would but back him this could
be done.
Seemingly his remarks at this junc-
ture were heartily approved, for a loud
cheer arose from the audience, and
such remarks as "You are right!” “You
bet, well stay with you!” were heard.
In touching upon the convict labor
question, Mr. McGregor said hs was
going to make an attempt to take the
convict labor out st pursuit* which
would knock the laboring man out of
an honest living, and suggested that
the convict labor be employed upon
State highways, etc. This proposal also
met with heartiest approbation. In ex-
plaining the initiative, referendum and
recall, the speaker indorsed ths move-
ment in no mean terms, and stated it
was nothing but a just measure. "The
place for power is with the people and
not with any State official. The honest
men can make laws with the initia-
tive. With the recall, they can make
anything right that is not right. I
most sincerely think that this should
apply particularly to judges.”
In concluding his remarks, he said
“With those measures will come a
state of perfect equality, which is de-
manded.”
Mr Moore again took- the stand and
announced that the sporting events
were just about ready.

And warmed up in his remarks.
In the main, Mr. McGregor’s remarks
were given over to a warning to the
labor people of the politielans He told
how time after time a man who op-
posed and voted against bills for the
good of the laboring man would come
out and ask their support for office
on promises. “By their frult shalt thou
know them.” said Mr. McGregor. “That
applles to politician* of the present day
as well as it did to people in the Bible
times. When.a man asks you to vote
for him, do not take hi* word for the
fact he is supporter; make him show
evidence of the work he has done in
the past."
In speaking of the opposition to or-
ganised labor, Mr. McGregor said: “Any
man who opposes organised labor is
elther ignorant or is not fit to live in
this country. Roosevelt, in mock sin-
cerity, stand* for organised labor; and
Wilson, with sincerity, stand* for off
ganized labor. But beware of the man
who on the face comes out for an issue
and then accepts campaign contribu-
tions and large sums of money from
corporation* who ars opposed to the
organisation of labor."
