Among recent suggestions con-
corning the placing of precautionary
signals along the Oregon coast, is a
good one concerning the placing of a
light ship about FIVE or six miles of
Columbia river bar. These light
ships are in constant use on the At
lantic coast, and have been found to
be of great practical value; in this
particular instance it is thought con-
siderable difficulty would be expert
enced in getting requisite safety OF
anchorage, as should the vessel ever
break from its moorings it would en-
tail destruction to the craft and almost
certain death TO those on board.

some manufacturer willing to introduce
the art of surreptitiously using paper for

The East Liverpool men are as firm to-
dav as they were last summer, and,
though the bosses do not show any in
tention of dealing fairly with the men,
one by one they are falling away. Unable
to sell the ware made by the mskilIed
workman whom they now employ, they
must either shut down or "buSt," Some
have chosen the former alternative,
while another firm, having grown tired
of the business, are attempting to sell
out. We sincerely hope some manufac-
trers- good, honest men-wiII take
hold, and, profting by the experience Of
the ''busted' firm, employ no scab8 who
will take pride in raising the standard Of
the ware to where it was before the
"botche8" pulled it down. Take hold,
gentlemen. There have been fortunes
made in the pottery business, and for
tunes are there yet-if rightly managed.

Employers who are hostile to Labor
organization will tell you that they pay
their nOn-uniOn hands on the average as
good, or even better wages than are paid
in union Shops But the weakness of
this argument in favor of non-uniOn
among working people is so transparent,
50 illogical, that its speciousness is ap-
parent on it's face And why do they
pay as much or more? Simply because
there are but few good workmen outside
Of unions, and the scab employer there
fore is compelled, through necessity, to
pay the. union, or even higher rates, in
order to obtain the skill he desires.
Besides, this offer Of better pay is held
as a standing inducement for men to
"jUmp' the union.
And thus it is that these short sighted
workmen, who are apathetic or inditter
ent as to trade organization, or too mean
or penurious to contribute toward Ger
tain expenses incidental to membership
are benefited by their brothers of the
craft to which the former are unhonored
members and dead weight8.-BaItimOre

When West Virginia was hiring her
conYicts for the pitiable sum Of 27 cents
per day, Ohio was getting 70 cents Now,
lust after our own state has reIet the
prisoners at Moundsyille to the Webster
Wagon company for five years, Ohio is
fairly breaking ground for the abolition
Of the contract system. Is It possible
that West Virginia is so far behind her
neighbor in keeping pace with the most
enlightened sentiment of the times in
the matter Of prison reform? The senate
of Ohio has passed the house bill with
certain amendments, and the house will
likely agree and the state hereafter work
the convicts on her OWE account. A
reformatory system similar to that in
experimental progress at EImira, New
York, is to be tried. This will do away
with the unjust competition of prison
labor with free labor, and will also abol-
ish the excessive tasks brought about by
the cupidity of contractors. If the work.
ingmen of West Virginia will only con-
tinue the fight, they may expect to see
the infamous contract system abolished
in their own state.-Wheeling News

On the assembling OF Congress next Mon
day the Democrats will be strongly in the
majority in the House. and will readily effect
its organization. The contest for the speak
ership, which has been quietly going on since
the last Congress adjourned, has attracted the
attention of the whole country the past week
because of the intensity to which it has reach
ed and of the Democratic policy that will be
foreshadowed for the next presidential cam
paign by the election OF the one or the other
candidate. Mr.. Randall brings to his canvass
the prestige Of three previous elections and
of superior abilities as presiding officer, and
summons TO his support numerous friends up
on whom he has bestowed personal and polit-
ical favors. Mr.. Carlisle, of Kentucky, is
recognized as far the ablest lawyer on the
Democratic side, and Is man of much
broader and better stored mind than his oppo-
nent possesses-in short, as more Of a states
man and less Of politician than Mr.. Randall.
He has gathered around him the Representa-
tives Of the south and of all sections Of the
country who are inclined to the doctrine Of
free trade.
The whole Democratic party is anxious
about this election, and the leaders fear that
upon it hangs the fate of the next national
campaign Not only are they anxious, but
they are divided in their views of party policy
Randall is the exponent of the doctrine that
the taxes on whiskey aud tobacco should be
removed and the entire internal revenue sys-
tenn abolished, in order to make necessary the
retention of a high protective tariff, which, as
his adversaries charge is in the special inter
est of Pennsylvania industries. Carlisle leads
the faction Of his party that is opposed to
protective duties, and at heart believes in free
trade, and also wants the whiskey and tobac.
co tax abolished because these articles are
agricultural products of the south
The Republicans can await and abide the
result with equanimity. They know the coun-
try will condemn the party that removes the
/ 1926, 600, 600 annual revenue from these 'ag
ricultural' products, and they see in the sue
cess of the Carlisle policy the necessity at nc
distant day, of a renewal of the income tax
which the south hopes for but which the NORTH
regards as inquisitorial and unjust.
Randall is more of party leader than Car
Isle, and the contest may end by sudden av
alanche to the former as a matter of party
expediency, but to-day the latter seems il
the ascendant While the party may and il
likely to blunder in its policy, it cannot maxi
a mistake in selecting either of these gentle
men on the ground of personal qualification
for this high office

tact, talent and good fellowship are sufficient
to make his way for him to success anywhere.
