No Choice.

We are asked by a ''Roman Catho-
lie Odd Fellow" whether he is COM
PEELED to leave the order of Odd Eel
lows under the recent decree of the
Pope against it. AS an American
citizen he can take his choice be-
tween the order and the church; but,
as Roman Catholic, he has not any
choice. The decree of the Holy Office
is of supreme authority, and he must
cease to be an Odd Fellow if he
would remain in the church. 1t is
his imperative duty to withdraw
from that order, under penalty of be-
ing denied the esacraments." He cam
not conceal his membership, or es-
cape the judgment pronounced
against it, or offer any plea in favor
of retaining it. Rome has spoken in
words that are irrevocable, and the
voice Of Rome is the fundamental
law Of Catholicity, the world over.
There are three societies con-
demned in the new decree-the Odd
Fellows, the Knights of Pythias, and
the Sons of Temperance-as other
secret societies had been condemned
in previous DEGREES.
This does not involve any limita-
tion of the political, civil, or natural
rights of our "Roman Catholic Odd
Fellow" correspondent. 1t is purely
a matter Of religion, and of the ecle-
siastical discipline. The church es-
tablishes the terms of church mem
bership, and these terms are infiex-
ible. Our correspondents rights OF
American citizenship are in no way
interfered with by the Papal decree.
AS a citizen, he may join any society
he pleases, but not as a Roman Cath
olic.-New York Sun.

The Brooklyn Strike.

Brooklyn seems to be the home of
surface railroad strikes. The en-
ployers andemployed on the lines in
Brooklyn never seem to be able to
get along together, and strikes FREE

ly suspended. The Inconvenience
and damage to the public are consid-
BILE.
The matters in controversy be-
tween the workmen and the trolley
companies are somewhat mixed, but
we will try to state them fairly and
clearly. The motOrmen and conduct
ors ask for an increase of pay from
$2to 1925 day, though they declare
themselves willing to waive this If
certain other demands are granted.
The chief thing asked is that the men
now employed as extra conductors
and motormen during the busy hours
at the beginning and close of the day,
be employed ata regular salary for
the whole day. These extra "trip
peri are now paid, of course, only for
the extra work actually performed.
Another grievance is the deduction
made by the companies from the
wages of the men when for any reas-
on the regular number of trips Is les
sened. This sometimes happens In
the middle of the day. The compa-
MES say that they cannot think of
paying their men such high wages as
their business in poor condition; and
that even if the reverse be the case,
they cannot pay "trippers" for a full
days work when only part of days
work is performed, and for the same
reason that they cannot pay the regu-
lars for a full days work when work
is temporarily suspended. The posi-
tion of the men employed in the troll
ley power houses Is also in dispute.
The men claim that they were lock-
ed out by the strike of the others.
The companies aver that these men
refused to take the pacles of the men
on strike, and hence were Justly dis
charged.
We avoid at present an expression
of opinion as to the merits Of this
strike. It's serious nature is evident
by reason Of the difficulty In getting
skilled In the management of trolleys
to take the places Of the strikers. II
should be said, however, that the
majority of people will probably
think that men who are getting % q
day or near that In these hard times,
and at this season of the year, are
foolish to leave their places because
they cannot get more; and that 1t Il

work should not be paid for that IL

On Monday Coroner J. b. Lyon re-

Haydenville to hold an inquest on
the body Of a stranger found dead
near that place, on the farm of Cush
James. Frank Joy was out hunting
and ran onto the body lying cold in
death.
Upon the arrival of the coroner it
was found that death had resulted
from bullet wound in the throat.
The man held firmly in the death
grasp a 3S-caliber revolver, with one
chamber empty, its contents having
been sent through tho vitality of his
existence, snufiing out the spark of
life that had few moments before
enabled him to reach the spot of his
fatality.
He was probably man of 25 years
of age, with strong features, and a
face that bespoke more than ordinary
intelligence.

Demurrer in the Walters Case Argued.
The case Of Ida Walters admin
istratrix Of the estate of Augustus
Walters deceased, VS. the Columbus
Hooking Valley and Toledo Rail-
road Company, occupied the court
Monday and Tuesday of last week.
The plaintiff was represented by
attorneys Allen r. McBroom and
Judge Bright while the defendant
was represented by @. @. Hunter of
Columbus, and L. ID. Vickers of Lo-
gan. The jury was empannelled at
10 o'clock Il. IN. Monday and the in
PRODUCTION of plaintiffs evidence
lasted until Tuesday noon,at which
time the plaintiff rested the case.
There upon defendants counsel in
terposeda a demurrer to the evidence
which was fully and ably argued
by counsel for both plaintiff and de-
fendant.
Judge Slough in deciding the de.
murrer carefully reviewed the law
Of Ohio, requiring persons before
crossing n railroad to stop, look
and listen. He said there was noth-
ing in this case to stir up the emo
tions of the court or jury; that the
court was inhibited, by the law,
from allowing the clamOr of the
populace against corporations to
swerve him from his duty. He
spoke of it being the peculiar prov
ince of the court to say whether
there was any evidence tending to
prove n material fact necessary for
the plaintiff to prove In order to
make out a case, and that it was
the province of the jury to Judge
only the weight of the evidence
when it was conflicting. He said
he would be glad If he could declare
the broad view advanced by Judge
Bright to be the law of Ohio, but as
the law defining the duties and liza
bilities of railroad companies have
become SO well settled in Ohio, that
he had but one thing TO do and that
was to follow the rule as laid down
SO repeatedly by our supreme court.
He spoke Of the duty of the railroad
company to sound its whistle and
ring its bell and that there wonld
be no doubt as ito its liability had 1t
failed to do sOhnd had the failures
to SO do caused the injury. lie said
there was no evidence except that
of y negative character which Is en-
titled to no weight, that the com.
pany did not|sound its whistle over

dent and ring the bell continuously

THE I. o. o. r. INSTALL.
Grand and Impressive mony,


On Friday evening of last week
the Hccking Valley lodge No. 262,
and Mineral encampment No. 81,
held public installation in their
elegant hall. At an early hour the
invited guests assembled and in a
short time the room was so crowd
ed that the work of installing was
greatly impeded. The first to be
installed were the officers of the
Subordinate lodge, as follows:

After the installation sumptous
banquet was served in the lower
hall, to which all, in the experience
of the writer, did ample justice.
There was present Grand Secre

the advisahility of stirring up 6

The public generally will be sorry to
know that Mr.. w. brennan, who since
the change in the administration of coun-
ty affairs has acted as jailer for Sheriff
Hare, has handed in his resignation and
win retire from all connection with the
jail in future. While Mr. Drennan's SEN
sitiveness over the escape of the seven
prisoners on Wednesday night is no doubt
the cause of this action, we feel correct
in assuring him that the pubic generally
lay no blame for the affair at his door,
and realize that the matter was an un-
fortunate occurrence which he certainly
could not have foreseen. The whole
trouble was brought about by Mr.. Dren-
mans hnd-heartedness, which the es-
Gaping prisoners recognized and were
quick to take advantage Of 1t is pity
that he has seen fit to resign, for the
county thereby loses an honest and com.
petent officer.
