from the specifications that was grant.
ed originally by Mr.. Crisp. 1t simply
means the establishing Of a precedent
on one end of the street that will be
the means Of forcing an unpopular and
illegal departure from the specifications
upon the other.
Council did the right thing in tabling
this resolution until an investigation of
its merits could be made. 1t will not
have to look very closely to detect the
complexion Of the gentleman in the
woodpile. 1t is none other than the
old-time favoritism that is evidenced
by the Board of City Commissioners
for the interests of men performing
work under public contract whenever
the interests Of these men happen to
collide with the interests Of the prop
erty owners.
The East Market street property
owners who will have to pay for the
paving have made 1t quite clear that
they do not want this departure from
the specifications to be made, and the
right thing for Council to do is to stand
by the property owners in what they
desire.
Council once experienced the unpop-
ularity and the folly of opposing the
East Market street property owners In
their determination to protect their
rights. The sensible and the right
thing now TO do is to stand by the
property owners and let the Commits
sioners who want to favor the contrac-
tors as against the taxpayers help
themselves out of their own pit.
If Council doesn't do this there will
be another job for the courts. The
East Market street people are fighters,
they insist simply upon their rights,
and, as In the case of the 5000 con-
tract grab six months ago,--they will
win out were every official in the city
to oppose them.

MORE FAv0RlIlsM.

Six months ago the Enst Market st
property owners had to go into court
to prevent the City Commissioners
from awarding the contract for the
paving of that street at a price $4,000
in excess of the lowest responsible bid.
There are Indications that again the
property holders will have TO 20 into
court to prevent the Commissioners
from permitting the contractors to VIC.
late the specifications OF materials to
be used in the paving.
The fact is that the Board OF Com.
missioners wants TO favor the contrac-
tors In regard 10 the departure from
the specifications, but 1t fears the dis
approval OF the people. This was evil
denced by the resolution adopted by
the Board last Friday resembling the
permission that had been given by Mr..
s$-sp for the uss OF material other than
that specified. This resolution was
adopted because the property owners
mad protested against Mr.. Crlsp's ac-

A year ago the people of Coschocton
raised $4,000 as a donation to a com.
pany which wanted to locate a rolling
mill at that town. The mill was
absorbed by trust a few months ago
and is now being torn down. The 100
or more employees who have been
thrown out Of work by the absorption
Of the trust are not doing much shout,

OF 1t. The engine Of the second train
smashed the caboose Of the first train
and then turned over. Reports from
the scene of the accident say that the
engineer and fireman Of the second
train and the conductor and two brake
men of the forward train are dead un-
der the wreck; that two others of the
train crew are also buried In the de.
bris, and others are unaccounted for.
So far as can be learned, the accident
was caused by the engineer of the

WHICH ROOSEVELT SHALL WE BELlsvE7

In his volume entitled Life Work
of Thomas II. Benton" on page 235,
Governor Roosevelt has this to say:
mot only the Columbia, but also the
Red River OF the North, and the
SASKATCHEWAN and Frazer as well
should lie wholly within our limits,
less for our own sake than for the sake
of the men who dwell along their
banks. Columbia, Saskatchewan and
Manitoba would, as states of the
American Union, hold positions IN,
comparably more important, grander
and more digntled than they can ever
hope TO reach either as independent
communities ar as provincial depend
encles of a foreign power that regards
them with kind of tolerance akin to
contemptuous indifference, or course,
no one would wish to see these or any
other settled communities now added
to our domain by force; we want no
unwilling citizens to enter our Union.
The time TO have taken the lands was
before settlers came into them. Euro
penn nations war for the possession of
thickly settled districts, which if con.
quered, will for centuries remain alien
aud hostile to the conquerors. We.
wiser In our generation, have seized
the waste solitude that lay near us,
the limitless forests and never-ending
plains and valleys OF the great, lonely
rivers, and have thrust our own sons
into them TO take possession, and
score of years after each conquest we
see the conquered land teemlng with
people that Is one with ourselves"
In speech delivered ut Minneapolis,
July II, Governor Roosevelt said;
"a more wicked absurdity than the
Kansas City proposition for dealing
with the Philippines was never enun-
ciated by the representatives OF a po.
iltIcal party.
Here is what the Kansas City plat.

Either the East Market street prop
erty owners are more alert to the pro-
lection Of their rights as property own
ers or they are more unfortunate than
people residing in other streets Of the
city. At any rate they seem to be tho
special victims Of the Board Of City
Commissioners we'll known favoritism
to the men doing work under contract
with the city. 1t is too bad that the
East Market street people have to hire
a lawyer Of their own to protect their
interests from being imposed upon by
the contractors, who seem to enjoy the
special favor of a majority of the
City Commissioners. Especially is
this true when Akron pays a Solicitor
to protect the rights of the people.

Threatening citizens with arrest for
insisting simply upon the protection Of
their rights as taxpayers, as was done
in the case Of the Citizens Committee
appointed by the East Market street
people last week, Is not very popular
way for the Board of City Commission
ers to increase it's popularity. If the
Board of Commissioners is administer
ed for the exclusive benefit Of contrac-
tors performing public work; If the cit
izens have to hire lawyers to protect
their interests from being damaged by
their own officials, why not invite the
contractors and the privileged interests
to pay the salaries Of the Commission

author.

The esteemed Board of City Commits
sioners doesn't seem to be paying as
much attention to technicalities now
as has been its custom in the past.
A few months ago the Board was so
very technical that It permitted a
twenty-five year franchise steal to be
come binding upon the people rather
than swerve a hairs breath from
what seemed to be the technicalites
of the case. But just now the Board
seems to be willing to waive very
important technicality in connection
with the East Market street paving
contract to accommodate the contract
ors. 1t will be observed that the peo.
pie are never the benefciaries of the
Boards wavering attitude toward
technicalities.

PRIEST FAvoRs THE MINERS.
Declares the Cause of the Coal Strik-
ers Il just One.

New York Sept. 24.-The Rev.
Thomas j. Ducey, after a week spent
in the Pennsylvania coal regions, told
the congregation of st. Leo's church
yesterday of his experiences. The talk
was given after the regular sermon.
Father Ducey said:
81 returned to New York with posi-
tive determination to stand by the
people | think that in 80 out of 100
cases the people are right, and my ex-
perience of the past week confirms
that opinion. Many of the things we
read about the miners / know to be
false from my own observation. The
stories circulated about the miners be-
ing drunkards and dissipated are abb
solute lies. The men have just griev-
ances, and they have as much right to
the arbitration they demand as have
the railroad kings. The delay asked
for by the operators appears to be a
scheme to take an unfair advantage of
the miners"
After paying a high tribute to the
character of President Mitchell, OF the
miners organization, Father Ducey
said:
Il am informed that about 55 per
cent of the miners in the Hazleton dis
trict are English speaking and the
other 40 are foreigners. The English
speaking ones stay there and face the
music, while the foreigners go to their
homes in the winter, leaving the others
to bear the brunt of the battle for the
right. When labor began to organize
the kings Of control imported foreign
labor because it was cheaper than
American labor. Now the kings are
getting it in the eye
Father Ducey said that he had visit
ed the houses of wealthy persons in
the coal regions and that large en-
ployers of labor had admitted to him
that the men had grievances and that
they hoped a settlement would soon be
reached. He characterized some of the
sheriffs' deputies as "toughs," and
condemned the calling out of the
militia, saying it was unnecessary.
