host Important Question Will Be Discus
sion of Increase In Scale.
Dies MONIES, Feb. 14.-The meeting
pf the National Mine Workers for the
Thirteenth district, composed of Iowa
and northern Missouri, appointed the
usual committees on scale, organiza-
ton and manner of procedure. The
scale committee will probably recon-
mend 60 cents per ton, mine run, an ad-
vance of 10 cents over last years scale.
The request of the operators associa-
ton that the joint conference be post
poned from Feb. 10 to Feb. 25 was re-
fused by unanimous vote. Operators
say they vii. not attend a joint confer
ence before Feb. 25 and will refuse to
treat on any other terms than the
screening scale. The scale last year was
85 cents for screened COAL The local
coal operators and teamster union con-
ferred yesterday, tn" teamsters demand
ing raise OF 10 cents per ton for haul
ing. The demand will probably be re-
fused, and the transfers, 200 in number,
will probably strike and shorten the
coal supply

The readers of this paper will be pleas
ed to learn that there is at least one
dreaded disease that science has been
able to cure in all its stages, and that
is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is the
only positive cure known to the medi-
cal fraternity. Catarrh being consti-
tutional disease, requires a constitu-
tional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure
is taken internally, acting directly up
on the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system, therefore destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature in do
ing its work. The proprietors have so
much faith in its curative powers that
they offer One Hundred Dollars for any
case that it fails to cure. Send for list

Much interest still continues to be
manifest in the Oakfield Literary
Society and the meeting Monday
evening was especially interesting
and instructive. The question for
debate was: Resolved, That steam is
of more Importance to mankind then
electricity. The speakers for the
affirmative were Lawrence Bintner,
Ed. Lewis, Wendell Smith and Jas.
Smith. For the negative H. P. Buff
fon, M. F. Enenbach and Ward
Smith. The judges rendered their
decision in favor of the negative.
The question for the next meeting is
stated thus: Resolved, That the
present jury system should be abol-
ished. Come out and take in the ly-
ceum you will hear some very inter-
esting speeches.
EDITOR Journal noticed in
your issue of February Sth, that you
quote me as saying 90 That the people
of Oklahoma are not as progressive as
they are here" AS did not intend
to convey that impression, take this
means of putting the many readers of
your valuable paper to rights. 1t is
true that the roads are not as good, or
the farms as general thing as we'll
improved as here. But when we con-
slider that the oldest part of Oklaho-
ma has not been settled more than
twelve years while this has been
settled over forty, you can readily
see that we should not expect to find
all the Improvements of an older
civilization. l believe that the peo-
pie of Oklahoma are progressive and
are doing all any people can do to
keep fully up to the spirit of the
times. WARD SMITH.

ADOPT A PLATFORM
ANTITRUST ADVOCATES FAVOR Gov
EMINENT OWNERSHIP.

Delegates to the Nationl Conference at
Chicago Protest Agains It-Com mittee
Will Go to Washington-Re Resolution for
Free Homes Adopted,
CHICAGO, Feb. 14.-Ater a heated
debate the resolutions committee of the
antitrust conference decded to report
in favor of government ownership of
railroads and for their seizure on pay
ment Of actual value and without pay
ment for 'swatered stocks " other ficti.
tious values" There wasa sharp dis.
cussion in the committee and several
tits between members, bought on by
an effort to make the platform read as
it had been drawn up, that the govern
ment should seize the railroads on pay
ment of actual value land without pay
ment for franchise value;." Unani-
nous action was finally obtained by
cutting out the words franchise
values and inserting instesd the phrase
'watered stock or other fictitious
values" The committee also unani-
mously favored direct popular legisla-
ton as means of obtaining the result.
Many startling statements were made
before the committee, among them one
by President M. L. Lockwood, in which
he said that before the government
ownership was finally secuted it would
be necessary to impeach at least one
justice of the supreme couit. A num-
Der of set speeches were heard at the
morning and afternoon sessions
The platform declares for government
ownership of all public utilities and
natural monopolies, government money,
the referendum and the withdrawal of
all protective tariffs from all articles
controlled by a trust.
A resolution for free homes was
adopted.
Resolutions were adopted denouncing
the pending financial bill and a COM
mittee will go to Washington to protest
against it.
The night session was in the form of
mass meeting, which was held at the
auditorium and brought out some of the
strongest speakers among the delegates,
including John P. Altgeld, F.. S. Mon
nett, Samuel M. Jones, John S. Crosby,
George Fred Williams and Tom L.
johnson.
President Lockwood of the Anti
Trust league, said: "This is remark
able gathering in many respects. Every
delegate paid his own railroad fare here
and the speakers are all volunteers.
The league has not spent dollar in
promoting the movement. The dele
gates travelled many miles for purely
unselfish motive. This is not like a
political convention, as we have no
promises to make or offices to give. We
are here to fight for a principle. I
firmly believe that this gathering is the
beginning Of a movement which will
wipe every nalevolent trust from the
country within few years. 1t is I'M
fair to charge that this is political
scheme planned in the interest of any
one candidate or set of candidates. We
have members of all parties and classes
in our ranks and we are all working
with unselfish motives for the better
ment of mankind.''

AN EDITORS APOLOGY.
A Happy Inspiration That Proved to
BE n BOOMERANG

~ HApPy Inspiration That Proved to
BE II Boomerang.
The editor of a small provincial pa
per in Austria was in great difficulty
to lind tit subject for his leading arti-
Gle, having been too intent upon other
business or upon pleasure to provide
one. The last moment had come, and
the editor was in despair He tortured
his brain in vain, when he suddenly
was inspired by a happy thought and
dashed off the lines:
After carefully perusing the leading
article written for the present number
by one of the ablest of our contribu-
tors, we have arrived at the conclusion
that it may be misinterpreted by the
authorities and regarded as an attack
upon the government We ourselves
consider it to be perfectly innocent;
but, as we are unwilling. for our read
ers' sake as well as for our own, to
have our newspaper confscated, we
have very unwilingly, though, as we
think. prudently, resolved to withdraw
the article. This must serve as the
apology to our readers for the blank
space in our present issue''
The Journal was published in the
evening. and the sly editor, after per-
forming this little piece of stratagem,
left the office in high humor. AS soon
as he arrived in the Office the next
morning clerk came up to him with
a doleful expression and said, Herr
Redaktor, the paper is contiscated by
the police! For what reason?" ask
ed the astonished editor. "For mali
cious ridicule Of the institutions of the
Austrian empire by the omission of the
leading article" replied the man.

the next blow, when Dougherty sur.
rendered.

Republican Legislators Resume Sessions
at Misunderstanding For the Courts.
FRANKFORT, Feb. 13.-The Repub-
ican members of the legislature met at
noon and after appointing committees
to inform Governor Taylor that pursu-
ant to the terms Of his proclamation ad-
journing the legislature at London and
calling it to frankfort, they had come
to this city and were prepared to trans
act such business as might come before
them. There were nine members in
the senate and 2S in the house.
The committee which was expected to
come from the Democratic members at
Louisville, to report whether it was safe
for them to come to Frankfort, did not
put IN an appearance during the day.
The Republican leaders say that they
expect nothing new to transpire until
after Judge Taft in Cincinnati has rem.
dered his decision in the injunction
cases on Wednesday.
At one time yesterday Governor Tay-
lor decided to order away all the SOL
diers now here, with the exception of a
few for personal bodyguard. He sent
for Colonel Williams and gave the orders
for the moving of the troops, but several
OF his friends urged so strongly that the
soldiers be permitted to remain that
Governor Taylor changed his intention,
and said that for the present at least he
would not have any more of them re.
turned to their homes.
