LOGAN, Ia., Jan. 8.-(Special)—Monday the voters of Harrison county will pass upon the question of erecting a new $100,- 000 court house. The vaults of the present court house bave been pronounced by an experienced architect as not affording proper protection for books of record against fire. In addition to the vaults not belng fireproof they are also wanting in capacity. The entire records of the treasurer's of- fice from the organisation of the county to 1898, are outside the valut both day and night. The recorder’s office is another ex- ample of want of vault capacity. In this office 108 books <f record are, for want of room, left outside the vaults both day and night. The auditor's office is so over- crowded thut a wooden structure has been erected near the court house, in which the larger portion of the records of the office are now stored. The clerk's office is another striking oxample of exhausted vault capacity, Many books of record, papers relating to mort- gages, realty and papers used In connection with past cascs, for want of room, are left outside the vaults in filing cases both day and night. In the west half of the state of Jowa Harrison county ranks third In point of wealth and population, but in all of this territory It has the most inadequate court house, one that nelther affords proper of- fice accommodation nor proper protection Y CLARK TALKS T0 DEMOCRATS for valuable books of record. THE BEE House Floor Leader Speaks at Ji son Day Banquet at Kawtown. OHAIRMAN MACK SENDS LETTER| Head of National Committee Urges Necessity of Gett the State Back on the Demoeratie Map. KANSAS CITY, Jan. 9.—Following their harmony conference of Saturday 600 Missourl democrats sat down to an elaborate Jackson day banquet at the Baltimore hotel tonight. Representative Champ Clark, minority leader in the national house of represen- tatives was the principal speaker at the dinner and following the sentiment of the speakers of the day meeting he pleaded for a united democracy that should swing Missourl back into the democratic col- umn, Mr. Clark also urged the necessity of gaining contro) of congress, This he satd was necessary not only to help In elect- ing a democratic president in 1910, but to effect an honest revision of the tariff. Norman F.» Mack, chalrman of the national commission sent a letter of re- gret in which he predicted that his party would control the next house of repre- sentatives. Representative Henry T. Rainey of Ili- nols declared strongly against a ship subsidy and insisted that present ship- ping regulations ' handicapped American ship owners, Mr, Clark said: This vast convocation of enthuslastic Missourl democrats is the first gun of the campaign of 1910, which it is hoped Will give us a democratic house at Wash- ington, the first step to electing a demo- cratic president in 1912. We meet under auspices more favorable than we have been blessed with since 1894, ‘Thrice is he’ armed, that hath his quarrel just,” and surely no people ever had a juster quarrel than the American people now have against the powers that be. The republicans won the last election under false pretenses. They promised a revision of the tariff downward in order to get in, and, when in, revised it upward The average rate of the Payne-Aldrich- Smoot tariff bill 1s 1.71 per cent_higher than the ‘average rate of the Dingley tariff bill The poople asked for bread and the = Aldrich-Cannon crowd gave them a stone. They asked for a fish and are requested to regale themselves with a serpent, In the congressional campaign of 1910, the overshadowing question will be whether public men are under any sort of obliga- tlon to tell the truth, and unless the pubilc consclence is absolutely dead—which I do not belleve—the repubiicans the bloodiest licking they have had since 1890. Are ante-election promises things to be depended upon and lived up to, or are they a mere trick with which to decelve the unwary, enticing baits with which to catch gudgeons? If the latter, then politic has fallen to a low estate and a contempt- ible condition. Wil not help them any, when ar- raigned at the bar of public opinion, to say that the republican platform simply declared for tariff revision, without Indi- cating whether that revision was to be up or down, for their standard bearer, Hon- orable Willlam H. Taft, everywhere inter- preted that platform declaration as mean- ng a downward revision, and on that in- terpretation he won the greatest prize known among men. 4 In asking for taritf revision and at the same time continuing the republicans in power, the American voters repeated the condemned performance of jumping out of the frying pan Into the fire. Thelr last condition is worse than the first This Payne-Aldrich-Smoot monstrosity Invites a trade war with every commer- clal nation under heaven. Referring to political conventions in Mis- sour, the speaker sald that while locusts coma:once in every seventeen years, a re- publican governor of Missotir appesars oily every forty years, and that Governor Had- ley s the last republican gavernor of M sourl that most of us will ever see. Con- tinuing, Mr, Clark sald: I stand for the supremacy and solldarity of the democratic party in Missourl and for {ts supremacy as opposed to the per- sonal Interest and ambition of any man or set of men, Including my own personal in- terests and ambitions. The weifare of the party is paramount to the welfare of any man or coterle of men. This great midwinter meeting of Missourl democrats augers well for the future. Unity of purpose and unity of action should be our shibboleths In the impending cam- palgn and through all the years that stretch before us. As proved by the vote In 1908 on representatives in congress and upon all state officers below lieutenant governor, Missouri is a democratic state, and it is one of the anomalies of our poli- tics that it now has a repubiican governor, & Tppublican Ueutenant governor, one re: publican United States senator, and six republican representatives in congre Letter from Chalrman Mack. Norman E. Mack, chairman of the Demo- cratic Natlonal committee, was unable to be present at the Jackson Day banquet of Missourl democrats here tonight. In a let- ter expressing his regrest at being unable to attend, Mr. Mack urged the democral to get together for the fall elections. Mr. Mack sald he believed the party would meet with great success in the congres- slonal elections next November, which would aid the democrats in the national election two years from that time. Mr. Mack In his letter sald in part: I am glad to see the democrats of your state getting together 'to celebrate Jackson's anniversary. ~All about the country the anniversary is being celebrated this year as never before and this is a §00d sign. I firmly belleve that the year 1910, upon which we are just entering, will be & banner year for democracy, and that we will meet with great success in the congressional elections nmext November, Never was there a time in the history of political parties when the call for an aggressive, fighting democracy, a Jackson democracy, was more urgent than today. My conception of democracy’s highest aim is to secure to the individual citizen the highest possible benefit of popular govern- ment. When. class, privilege and favor en- trench themselves as factors In the oper- ation of that government surely those of us who are democrats have our work cut out, 'We may differ among ourselves as to the best way to o about our task, but the traditions’ of the party established by Jefferson and Jackson have made it posstble to have a policy on which we can all agree. Kindly permit me in this way to extend to the militant democracy of Missourl my deep appreciation of the honor of the in- vitatior to be one of your speakers on this occasion. Senator Gere at Jacksom, Mich, JACKSON, Mich, Jan. 8.—At the forty- sixth annual banquet of the Andrew Jack- son soclety today, Senator Gore of Okla- homa urged democrats to support insurgent republicans in districts where they were threatened by the regulars. He eulogized the early works of the republican party, but asserted that a great gulf separated Lincoln and Taft. He denounced the ship subsidy bill of the administration as *ba, faced graft." will recelve SEES BOOST FOR HOOSEVELT | Champ Clark Says Pinchot Dismissal Will Make Him Candidate. KANSAS CITY, Jan. 9.—Missouri demo- crats from every county In the state and numbering over 600 gathered at Conven- tion hall here today in-a great “harmony conference’’.

The Ballinger-Pinchot spisode was injected into | the gathering when Representative Champ | Clark, minority leader in the house of representatives sald: “The dlsmissal of Forester Pinchot Is one of the first steps in Roosevelt's can- didacy for the republican nonination for president. And It Roosevelt runs for president It will be the hottest fight that has taken place in a republican convention since Grant was deteated in the dog days of 1880." Two sesslons of the conference were held. In the morning speeches were de- livered by A. M. Dockery, a former governor; James A. Reed and Senator Willlam J. Stone. On the afterncon program David R.

Stuckey, the ex-minister of Willlamsburg, who had | been on trial here charged on two counts with abducting Lorena Sutherland, his 15- vear-old parishioner, was found guilty by a jury today.

The pon- alty is from one to five years on each eount. The jury ccnsidercd the case but thirty minutes. When the verdict was read Stuckey appeared very nervous.

STATE WARDS MAY BE COLD Scarcity of Fuel Reported Varfous Places Throughout Towa. from DES MOINES, Ia., Jan. 9.—(Special)— The State Board of Control yesterday re- ported great scarc'ty of coal at the varlous state Institutions. At Marshalltown and Eldora there is great difficulty in secur- ing coal to run the plants. In the south- ern part of the state the institutions are short of coal. The board has been unable to secure a reserve stock or to get coal delivered that was shipped, in some cases, as long as two weeks ago.

Every effort is being made by the uni- versity authorities to reaeh all the stud- ents who are at ‘helr homes during the temporary vacation. Some reports have been sent out stating that the university might not oper. the first of the next week and George McEbben, secretary to Pres|. dent Mac Lean, is endeavoring to counter. act the effect of these statements, FORT DODGE, la., Jan. 8.—(Special)— Although yesterday factories thought they would have ‘plenty of coal before they would be compelled to shut down, closing down was necessarily begun today in many places.

Favors Federal Regulation of Copper Market Daniel Guggenheim Says Present Methods Result in Enormous + Waste of Mineral Resources, NEW YORK, Jan. 9.—Daniel Guggenheim, president of the American Smelting and Refining company, has thought the present moment opportune to advocate federal reg- ulation of the copper market. Following di- rectly upon the president's special message recommending simllar action in the case of the raliroads, and taken in conneetion with recent rumors of a huge combination of all the copper mining compantes, his statement 1s recelved with Interest. The Amerlcan Smelting and Refiniug company Is capl- talized at $100,000,000, and owns plants in Colorado, Montana, Nebraska, Illinols, Utah, Mexico, Alaska and elsewhere. Mr. Guggenhelm bases his recommenda- tlons on the demoralization not only in the business of mining copper, but among those interests which use manufactured copper In thelr processes, incident upon fluctua- tions from 25 cents to 12 cents a pound for copper. Mining, he says, Is a hazardous enterprise, requiring, under modern condi- tions, very large outlays of capital, and in need more than any other industry of & stable market. Stabllity, he belleves, can best be obtained by federal regulation. 1 deprecate all unnecessary interference with business on the par. of the govern- ment,” says Mr. Guggenheim, ‘“yet I ap- preciate the necessity for it and cannot but admire the result which has been obtained by the German government in its effort to foster German commerce.
