The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1900-01-16

There was no Jackson day oratory
in the neighborhood of Massillon or
Canton. A little heated rhetoric from
the lips of John E. Monnet, John c..
Welty or even The independents old
friend, Archibald McGregor might have
cheered things up, and served to demon
strate the fact that the Democracy of
Stark county is not altogether demora-
lized.-Massillon Independent.
If the Independent accepts the lack
of Democratic oratory in Massillon or
Canton on Jackson day as evidence that
the Democracy Of Stark county is
dead or even demoralized, it will not
have long to wait, until it will be un-
deceived

OFFICIAL SONG
Adopted For the Labor Federations, En-
titled "stick to Your Union"

milwaukee Spec. Chicago Tribune)
An official song was adopted today
by the convention of the National Build
ing Trades Council, and after this the
song, "Stick to Your Union," will be
sung by the laboring men of the United
States at all conventions, meetings and
celebrations.
Thomas w. West, of Kansas City,
is the composer of both the words and
music of the song, which is of a descrip-
tive character. The words Of the song
are:
I'll now relate a story, it happened
years ago,
And the words a noble father said,
which all of you should know.
His son had quit the workshop with
others of his trade.
They struck against injustice a cut
the firm had made.
His father, old and feeble. came to
meet him at the door,
And listened to the story that his son
related DER,
About his shopmates' action and what
the firm had done.
The old man listened to it all and thus
spoke to his son.
CHORUS.
Stick to your union,. lad, don't be a
knave,
Show every tyrant that you won't be a
slave.
Obey your aged father, God bless you
now, my son,
Stick to your union until your strike is
won.
The son was much affected, he grasped
his fathers hand,
Said he, 1--WE are united and justice we
demand;
Don't be alarmed about us. we never
shall return ...F
Until the firm restores to us the sum
we justly earn"
The union held a meeting that evening
in their hall, u.
Each member was determined the
union should not fall.
The old man to the platform by his son
was gently led,
Who mid applause repeated the words
his father said.
CHORUS.
Stick to your union, lad, don't be a
knave,
Show every tyrant that you won't be a
slave,
Obey your aged father, God bless you
now, my son,
Stick to your union until your strike is
won.
The strike was long and bitter, the men
refused to yield,
No traitors were among them, as time
at length revealed.
At last the firm relented and sent for
them one day,
And told them they'd decided to re-
store their former pay.
OF course there was rejoicing, but that
night the old man died,
Their joy was turned to sorrow, for he
was the unions pride.
They marched TO do him honor in
silence to the grave,
Now inscribed upon his monument is
this advice he gave.
CHORUS.
Stick to your union, lad, don't be a
knave, ...a.
Show every tyrant that you won't be q
slave.
Obey your aged father, God bless you
now, my son,
Stick to your union until your strike IL
won. ..-.
The story of the song as told by tn,
three verses composing 1t, is of strike
in which the union engaged, and which
Is led to victory by the advice of tn,

The defeat of Representative Brum-
baugh's resolution Of sympathy with
the Beers in the Ohio House of Repre-
sentatives, Thursday, by a strict party
vote of 69 to 43, was what was expected,
and it therefore does not come as a
surprise. The eRpublicans voted solidly
against the resolutions, according to
the wish of the administration at
Washington. If there has been any
doubt heretofore, as to the question
of the president on the question, that
doubt has been dispelled by the vote
of the Republicans in the Ohio House
of Representatives.

A Kansas man claims that Kipling
wrote David Harum, to decide a wager
between Mr.. Box, publisher of the
Ladies' Home Journal, and Mr.. Double
day, Kiplings publisher that Kipling' S
books would sell under any other name
as we'll as under Kipling. If the large
sales reported of David Harum, are
correct, we would say that Mr.. Box has
won his wager But the public will
probably require some further proof
than that furnished by the Kansas man,
before they will credit the much read
David Harum to the pen of Rudyard
Kipling.

NEW DOUBLE SERVICE.


Benjamin Campbell, traffic manager of
the Oregon Railroad & Navigation Com
pany at Portland who was in the city yes
terday, Is authority for the statement that
within a short time his line intends doub-
ling the train service between Portland and
Chicago. Arrangements to that end are
now. being perfected Within the past six
ty days the company has ordered over
100000 worth Of new equipment from the
East, including combination baggage and
mail cars, chair cars, day coaches and
diners. These will be delivered to the
company between March / and April |, on
which latter date the new service will be-
gin.
During the past year Mr.. Campbell says
travel. both east and west, on the Oregon
road has been very heavy. A great deal of
the Nome travel destined for Seattle COM
ing from the south has been handled by
his line, and to be in shape for this great
rush in the spring is one OF the reasons for
doubling the service.
There has been much new Improvement

put on. The track has been considerably

A New York arm Of lawyers y en-
gagged In distributing . circular letter
among railroad men and other persons
on the Coast, addressed to holders OF the
outstanding general first mortgage North
ern Pacific railroad bonds, In which the
firm advises holders not to turn In these
bonds, AZ the action Of the road in calling
them in for payment ID illegal and In
valid.
These are the bonds Of the old North
ern Pacific Railroad Company, called IN
after the annual meeting In New York last
fall, and on which interest ceased on the
date OF the call. It was this action that
caused boom in Northern Pacific pre-
ferred and common stock in November.
when the company announced that 1t had
on hand q reserve fund OF over G0.OO0.00O
available for the liquidation Of these
bonds and to invest in acquisitions ana
improvements.
In speaking Of the matter yesterday,
and the probable effect 1t would have on
stock, W. H. Granger, a New York stock
broker, who Is now guest OF tho But
Ter, said:
.'whiie it may be possible that some
think there win be any general holding
back of these Northern Pacific bonds.
There was in the beginning think about
f time, before the reorganization. they were
worth little or nothing. and since that time
they have gone steadily up until they
have reached their limit. About 100000
Of this amount was rl held N New YORK sors

can be no doubt as to the validity Of
calling them in, and already New York
brokers have received large share OF the
cash for theirs.
probably the best or OF any road in the
West. During the past year. the road
has acquired by purchase and exchange
a large amount of valuable property along
its main line. Over $3,000,000 was spent on
the roadbed and road. equipment during
100000, as shown by the annual state
ment, has been acquired In a reserve fund.
"A good portion of this amount was re-
ceived from the sale of timber and agri-
cultural lands in this state, and propa-
bly, between $5,Qoo0o0 and 100000 was
the Missouri river.
There is an erroneous idea regarding
the Weyerhauser deal. That company
did not secure all the Northern Pacific
lands in this state. On the contrary, the
deal included only the patented lands in
tains. The road still owns valuable tracts
OF timber and agricultural lands in this
state.
There is to be much improvement work
done on the Northern Pacific within the
next few years. A large proportion Of
spent in fitting up the road and widening
it's usefulness. M
ITO continue this work until 1t has
been completed, provision has been made
whereby the company can issue 81 100000
in bonds annually in case OF a shortage
of funds, the proceeds of which will all
go toward improving the line from St
Paul to Seattle"

MANY PROMOTIONS EXPECTED.
Great Northern Employees Looking
for Changes to Southern branches.

A rumor is current in local railroad cir
cles that ]. N. Hill, vice president of the
Great Northern railway, will soon be NAM
ed as general manager of the newly ac-
quired southern branches of the Great
Northern--the Sioux City & Northern.
Willmar g. Sioux Falls and the Sioux City,
O'Neill & Western.
In this case it is believed there will be
the way of drawing men to fill Important
positions on the new lines all of which
changes, It is believed, will be In the line
of promotions.
This conviction is strengthened by the
knowledge that Vice President Fill Is a
strong espouser of the promotion of old
time employees. 1t will Require probably
100 men to Ali the positions made by the
acquisitions Of the southern lines, and in
the general distribution Of promotions the
Coast, 1t Is believed. will receive its share.
and probably lose some valuable men on
this division Of the road
