UNIVERSAL UNION LABEL
Is Wanted by the American Federn
tlon of Labor.
San Francisco, Nov. 19.—At to-day’s
session of the American Federation of
Labor a number of resolutions to make
the union label more effective were
adopted. In this connection the dele
gates were urged to adopt a universal
label and organize a league to fur
ther this end.
A proposition to ask the secretary
of commerce and labor to appoint an
arbitration board for the settlement of
all strikes was lost by ‘a unanimous
vote. There was but little debate on
the question, the concensus of opinion
being that the adoption of the meas
ure would mean compulsory arbitra
tion, and the speakers declared that
labor had little to hope for from such.
A proposition to Wave labor unions all
over the country and invite members
of local boards of health to lecture to
them on the best means of eradicating
tuberculosis was unanimously approved
by the convention.
MANIA”™ KILL WOMEN.
Toung College Student Made Hi.
Second Attempt to Murder.
Salt Lake. Utah, Nov. 19.—Roy Scott,
a young college student, whose mania
is to kill women, was captured to-day
after making his second attempt at
murder. He narrowly escaped lynch
ing at the hands of an infuriated mob
and was safely landed In jail by the
police.
The murderous assault occurred at
the intersection of Main and Second
streets, the busiest corner of the city.
In broad daylight Scott met Elsie Gai
iacher on the street and, suddenly
reaching out with a large penknife,
slashed her across the throat.
The act was seen by a number of
people, who quickly surrounded the
youth and handled him roughly until
he was rescued by the polioe. The girl
was not seriously hurt.
At the police station Scott confessed
that he had made a similar assault
upon Mary Burton about five weeks
ago.
MORE THAN A SCORE
OF PASSENGERS HURT.
Decatur. 111., Nov. 19.—(More than a
score of passengers were injured to
day in a collision between two fast
passenger trains, the Continental Lim
ited and the Kansas City mail on the
Wabash road near Remant.
The accident was due to the engineer
of the eastbound train overlooking or
ders which called for the trains to
meet west of Bement. The baggage
cars and engines of both trains were
demolished.
OBJECTIONS TO*KINDER 1
GARTEN ANSWERED
It is a well known fact that In the
beginning of any new movement tfip
worst fear of the promoters is the
stagnating effect of indifference. Fav
orable criticism is, of course, the first
hope, but if that is not given then
far better adverse criticism than none
at all.
Kindergarten as a department of ed
ucation has existed but three-quarters
of a century. Yet criticism of both
kinds has abounded in many countries
for many years. The Institution has
been condemned as well as praised.
Sometimes, alas! The condemnation
is all too just! The work is new. and
in the attempts to grow wrong meth
ods are sometimes tried before right
ones are discovered; the demand for
■workers frequently exceeds the supply,
and an educator who feels that a kin
dergarten is an absolute necessity in
his school, must sometimes place at
tha head of his work a kindergartner
not as strong in her profession as
could be desired; sometimes the fail
ures come from Inadequate funds;
sometimes from Insufficient public sup
port.
These are a few of the circumstances
against whicji any reform must strug
gle, and which have caused kindergar
ten like any other pioneer endeavor,
to sometimes fall short of the ideals
of its most exalted promoters.
On the other hand kindergarten is
often condemned and sometimes even
ridiculed by people whose knowledge
on the subject is not precisely over
whelming.
The Just crltklsers. and it is hoped
■the other kind as well, will no doubt
be interested in receiving answers to
some of their objections, and it Is,
therefore, proposed to give the pub
lic from time to time, through the
kindness of the Morning News, a few
such answers:
"Why is so much time wasted in
kindergarten on the song* and games
• hat children play, anyhow?” is a
question frequently heard. It is one
that is asked with perfect Justice, but
the answer is a simple one, neverthe
less.
The kindergartner has certain tasks
to perform In the development of the
child. She must of necessity find tools
wherewith to perform the tasks.
Psychology, child-study, and her own
observation have taught her that the
small child ie more emotional than
intellectual, or in plain English, that
lie can be reached more readily
through what he likes than in any
other possible way. Certain songs and
games and stories have been used and
loved by so many generations of chil
dren and are still played In as many
different countries, that the most
casual observer must perceive that
they contain something vitally Inter
esting to every child, it is no wonder,
then, that the kindergartner finds
them important as a medium between
the child as he is and the maturity
•he wishes him to reach, and that she

SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY. NOVEMBER 20. 1904.
18-YEAR-OLD JOCKEY
WILL GET $20,000 NEXT YEAR.
New York, Nov. 19.—Eugene Hilde
brand, the leading winning jockey of
the year, rode -his last race of the
Eastern season on Lord Badge at
Aqueduct, and won with that horse.
Before leaving the course, he said, he
would ride next season for Harry
Payne Whitney at a retainer, which,
added to his fees for winning mounts,
would enable his earnings from this
one stable alone to amount to more
than $20,000. Mr. Whitney will have
first call on the boy, while "Joe” Yae
ger, who has Hildebrand under con
tract, will be stetisfled with second call.
Hildebrand is about eighteen years
old, had been riding on the California
circuit only about a year before his
extraordinary success attracted the at
tention of “Joe” Yaeger fast winter at
San Francisco and really rates as the
most popular as well as one of the most
successful youths developed on the
turf. He has ridden more than a
thousand times since Jan. 1 last, of
which more than 260 have been win
ning mounts. His riding fees alone
would thus give him more than $12,000.
Add to this his retaining fee while
in the employ of H. B. Duryea, and
the large amounts given to him as
presents Y for his successful mounts,
and this would mean that this former
newsboy on California railroads has
Earned not less than $30,000 this year.
The Futurity was the chief race won
by Hildebrand this season. He rode
Artful in that race.

THE TURKEY IN
A NEW LIGHT
IS REALLY A CHRISTMAS BIRD.
A MILLION AND A HALF MORE
EATEN THEN THAN AT
THANKSGIVING.
; Not Enough Turkeys Arc Raised In

to Give Everyone of L’ncle Sam’s
Sixteen Million Families a Nation
al Bird for Thanksgiving—Texas
the Great Tnrkey State—l nele
Sam’s Annual Tnrkey Crop Val
ued at ggft.OOO.OOO.
By Guy T. Viskniskki.
Of course, the turkey has an ina
lienable right to strut; he has figured
so long as the gastronomic center of
attraction on Thanksgiving. But in
the light of recent investigation he is
not the whole show that he evidently
thinks he is, and the majority of the
good people of the United States hold
him to be around Thanksgiving time.
In the first place, and astounding as
it may seem to the small boy who is
already punching extra holes in his
belt in forehanded preparation for the
coming feast, not enough turkeys are
raised in all America to give every
one of Uncle Sam’s thankful sixteen
million families a national bird for
the Thanksgiving dinner. All told,
the states raise yearly only about six
and a half million turkeys on their
five million farms, and If all these
turkeys were killed to make a Thanks
giving festival, some nine million and
a half families would necessarily have
to go turkeyless to bed.
Turkeys for Thanksgiving.
But the yearly crop of the national
bird is by no means marketed in toto
around Thanksgiving week. Accord
ing to the poultry statistics of the
country, only about two million tur
keys find their way into the stomachs
of this happy people during the month
of November, despite the fact that
those of us who are so fortunate as
to get a slice of tender breast, or
golden-browned drumstick. fondly
cherish the thought that all the rest
of our fellow countrymen, have been
equally favored.
Such sentiment. If at all appropriate,
were better saved, for the Christmas
holidays. Indeed, Christmas, not
Thanksgiving, is the real turkey day.
Last Christinas Uncle Sam’s nephews
and nieces took care of about a mil
lion and a half more turkeys than
they did on Thanksgiving. Thus all
except a million members of the an
nual turkey crop are accounted for.
Of these the statistics would have us
believe that half are killed and plucked
to supply the market at other times
than Thanksgiving and Christmas,
while the remaining five hundred
thousand are kept by the farmers as
breeders for the next year’s crop.
Astonishing Figures About Turkeys.
This remnant of a once mighty strut
ting army is entirely sufficient for
breeding purposes. Each turkey can
be counted on to lay about twenty-five
eggs, ‘and every egg to produce a poult.
Over eleven million poults are hatched
annually, a number sufficient to give
all but five million families a turkey
for holiday time. But turkeys are
finicky fowl. A thousand and one things
combine to kill them off just when the
farmer is congratulating himself over
the prospects of a fattened purse
around Thanksgiving time. Wet weath
er, especially, works havoc with the
flocks; a turkey cannot withstand a
damp spell as do chickens or geese. So
when killing time rolls around with
the first week of November the turkey
crop has been cut almost In half, de
spite all that the raisers could do; and
they generally strive hard to save their
flocks, for there is big njoney in tur
keys for them. During the last decade
the price per pound hits doubled, and
the greater part of this money has
found its way into the pockets of the
farmers.
Fortunes In Turkey Raising.
, And right here it is proper to won
der. in view of the money there is in
them, why the American farmer does
not raise more turkeys for the gastro
nomic delectation of his countrymen.
There are five million farmers in this
broad land of ours, yet if the ‘annual
turkey crop of the country were even
ly divided among the farms there would
not be two turkeys by three and a half
millions for each farmer to look after.
Of course, adverse climatic condi
tions keep the farmers in some sec
tions from raising turkeys, but even
where a dry climate is usually assured,
many a farmer's barnyard knows not
the presence of the turkey. In fact,
less than two hundred and fifty thou
sand farmers raise the bulk of the tur
key crop.
This quarter of a million tillers of
the soil are not all residents of Rhode
Island. Turkey tradition would have us
believe so, though, but when we come
down to solid facts we find, alas! that
the state whose name appears on the
menu. In connection with turkey in
nearly every restaurant in the land
around turkey time grows less than five
thousand turkeys, and they are mostly
eaten within the borders of the state,
many of whose inhabitants have never
known what a real Rhode Island turkey
tastes like. For five thousand fowl,
even though they weigh from twenty to
thirty pounds each, are not enough to
go around among nearly half a million
people.
Texas the Real Turkey State.
Nor do the majority of the turkey
raising farmers gain their sustenance
from the hills of old Vermont, another
commonwealth prominent in turkey le
gend. Neither do they make, their
abode in Maryland. New Jersey and
Northern Virginia, the fame of whose

turkeys the epicures have spread
abroad these many years throughout
the land.
In short, the real turkey State of
the Union is just plain Texas, and has
been for several years past. It has
produced on an average about three
quarters of a million turkeys every
year since 1900. Missouri is a close
second, and the other leading turkey
states are Illinois. loiva, Ohio and In
diana in the order named. These six
states raise half the turkey crop; with
Nebraska and Kansas, they produce
considerably over half. Let the weath
er - during the early stages of the sea
son be wet in any two of these states
and the Thanksgiving turkey is bound
to come high to the purchaser.
Less than a decade ago Ohio and In
diana were the leading turkey states,
and poulterers will tell you that only
within the last five or six years have
they been receiving shipments from
Texas and Missouri, the present lead
ers. In recent years, too, the lowa tur
key has come to the fore as being the
finest of all turkeys raised outside of
Rhode Island, and the latter’s equal
in all respects. lowa turkeys univer
sally command the highest prices in
such discriminating centers as New
York, Chicago and Philadelphia, the
last-named town even paying more for
them than its own dearly beloved Phil
adelphia turkey, which holds a place
in the Quaker mind alongside Phila
delphia capon.
Few Farmers Eat Turkey.
But while the farmers of the Central
and Middle West and the Lone Star
State are the men behind the Thanks
giving turkey, they are not the men
who eat it by any mapner of means.
It is to be doubted whether half the
turkey raisers ever taste turkey meat
the year around; shippers tell .of farm
ers who, after reserving a certain num
ber of fowls for breeding purposes,
sell all the rest of their flocks, not
even reserving one for themselves for
either of the two great holidays.
Still, these self-abnegating gentle
men have plenty of good company. In
many parts of the South turkey never
appears on the Thanksgiving or the
Christmas board, and in the great
West, exclusive of such centers as
San Francisco and Denver, many a
child has to depend In a natural hts
tor for acquaintance with the na
tional bird.
The turkey-favored center lies east
of the western boundaries of Minne
sota, lowa and Missouri, and north
of the southern limits of the last
named state, Kentucky and Virginia.
And of all spots most favored in this
section New York leads the list.
New YCrkers Big Turkey Eaters.
Of the 2,000,000 turkeys that cease
strutting in November, 750,000 find their
way from Texas and the other states
to the metropolis, while about 1,000,000,
plus 200,000, comprise the Christmas
holiday supply. Thus, one-third of the
total number of turkeys annually kill
ed in America go to New York, and
the people living there and In the sub
urbs come nearer to having the tra
ditional turkey on every board than
those in any other section. Yet, since
New York is the center of a population
of some 5,000,000 people, it goes without
saying, in view of the poulterers' fig
ures, that many thousands of New
Yorkers go turkeyless to bed on
Christmas, and still more thousands
spend a Thanksgiving uncheered by
sight and taste of a big golden bird
resting upon its back in the biggest
meat platter that the family china cup
board can provide.
Chicago Next to New York.
Chicago and Its environs are a good
second to the metropolis in its love
of turkey, about a million and a half
fowls being consumed there during the
course of the two holiday months.
This leaves two and a half million
strutters for the rest of the country,
and the trade estimates that of this
number not more than half a million
are eaten outside the turkey eating
belt, chicken and goose and roast beef
being the customary holiday meats, as
they are for thousands of families in
the turkey belt itself.
In New York about half as many
geese as turkeys are eaten during the
holidays, the big Jewish population
favoring this meat, and Almost to a
mar. having nothing to do do with
turkey at any price. The Italian, on
the other hand, who Is also counted'
by the hundreds of thousands In the
metropolis, has rapidly fallen into the
turkey habit, and on Thanksgiving
Day especially he Is a heavy purchas
er. The same is true of the Pole in
Chicago. Cleveland, Philadelphia and
the other cities where he has founded
colonies. Retail dealers in fowl de
clare that if a census of turkey buyers
could be taken it would be astonishing
how many thousands of Americans in
the making demand turkey on the na
tional feast day.
Millions o t Dollars In Turkeys.
To this circumstance and tha growth
of population may rightly be attrib
uted the constantly increasing cost of
turkey to the consumer, even though
the crop has grown stsadlly larger ever
since the price began going up from 11
centa a pound wholesale, for tbs beat
grades in U 97. to 22 cants last year.
In aueb centers aa Near York and Chi
cago. At the present average retail
prise ter the country, 24 cents, the
turkey orop represents a value of $24.-

way from twenty to thirty pounds
apiece.

But figure It how you will you will

mark. And of all those who give
thanks for these fifty thousand tons
of succulent breast and drumstick and

I thanks than the farmers who raise the
’ turkeys, who find them one of their

the erection of the monument in mem
ory of the late Gen. John B. Gordon.
Just before he died he visited the Tus
kegee Institute, and spoke in our
chapel to our students and teachers, to
gether with a large number of white
and colored citizens, and his instruc
tive, tender and sympathetic words
will remain for a long time one of the
most precious memories of this insti
tution. I am led to make this con
tribution further, because Gen. Gordon
represented in a most perfect degree
the cultivated, brave and unselfish
Southern man. who was not only In
terested in the white race, but in the
elevation of my own people. He was
indeed a true type of the connecting
link between the best class of South
ern white people and the truest type
of my own race, and I believe that in
the future there, will be many to emu
late his example. Yours truly, Booker
T. Washington.

of the sentiment expressed by you and
the beautiful tribute paid to Gen. Gor
