Stephen Blackpool found things

ing across country to protect his good
name from evil report he fell into a
disused coal pit and was horribly
MANNED.

loved and who had sought him out

wives and children that thew loves as

it were in work, 1t killed wi'out need;
when tits let alone. 1t kills wi'out

one way an another-in a muddle-

This pitiful story. told with such
simple power by Dickens in lizard
Times" is recalled now by the sorrow
full and moving scenes which are be-
ing enacted today In Pennsylvania.
1t Is Jaw a muddle" to the coal dig
gers of the anthracite field RS 1t was
to Stephen Blackpool. When they
have work they are killei without
need; when there is no work they die
without need. And the mines in
which they have faced death in its
most horrible forms In hard toll fof
a bare living are now closed to them
save upon the cruel terms of the great
monopolists who are filling Mark
Hanna's dinner pail with ''honest"
dollars. 1t is crueller than battle.
| But the "muddle" is not beyond So
luton. The great heart of the Am
erican people goes out to these hard
pressed sons of toll. Their cry goes
not unheard. And if it shall be re-
membered that the war in this cam
paign is against all privileges and
therefore against the privilege of the
coal barons to levy tax upon the
men who work what the barons are
pleased to call their mines, there is
hope shining ahead of the oppressed.

THE SHOE FITS.

Maj. Mckinley loudly disclaims i'm
perialistic tendencies and he tells his
critics that he has been guided only
by the loftiest and unselfish senti-
ments in his policy.
However, his attitude and disclaim-
ers suggest current dialogue.

Possibly the imperialistic shoe does
not pinch the major, but is wonder

WARRANT FOR TAYLOR
Charged With Being Access
sorry to GoebePs
Murder.
(By the Associated Pressl

Frankfort, KY, May 31.-Judge Cantrill
today directed Circuit Clerk Ford to issue
a bench warrant for the arrest of former
Governor Taylor. The warrant is based
on an Indictment secured several weeks
ago charging Taylor with being an ac-
cessory to the assassination of William
Goebel.
a warrant was issued and placed in the
hands OF Deputy Sheriff John Suter.
The indictment was filed and entered
on record, April 18th.
The bench warrant commands the
sheriff or other arresting officer to ar
rest William S Taylor and deliver him
to the iailer of Franklin county On the
back of the indictment about fifty persons
are named as witnesses for the COM
monwealth. The bench warrant was
placed in the hands of Deputy Sheriff John
Suter, who is acting in the absence of
the sheriff who is at Hot Springs. When
asked what he would do with the war
rant he said;
What can do with it. | would serve
it if | could. and could do it if Governor
Mount, of Indiana. would help me, but
from all reports l guess he will not do it.
