Useful Citizenship

An eminent American statesman
some time ago uttered these senti-
ments: "No man can hope to be a
useful citizen in the broadcast sense, in
the United States, unless he takes a
continuous and intelligent interest in
politics, and full share not only i'm
the election, but also in the primary
operations which determine the choice
of candidates. For this everyone has
time enough, and, if he says that he has
not, it is because he is Indifferent when
he ought to he intensely and constant
ly interested. If he follows public af-
fairs from day, and, thus Informed,
acts with his. friends and those who
think as he does at the caucus and the
polls, he Will make his influence fully
felt and will meet completely the test
of good citizenship. 1t is not essen
Sential to take Office. For not doing
so the excuse of lack of time and the
demands of more immediate private
Interestingly be valid. But it would
be we'll if every man Gould have, for
short period, at least, some experience
in the actual work of government in
his city, state or nation, even if he has
no idea of following a political career.
Such an experience does more TO
broaden a man knowledge of the diff
ficulties of public administration than
anything else. 1t helps him to under
stand how he can practically attain
that which he thinks is best for the
state, and most important of ali, it en-
ableS him to act with other men and to
judge justly those who are doing the
work of public life. F"
There is but little to add to this. 1t
is a forcible reminder of the duty Of
citizenship. 1t should be needed by
men of judgment and conscience. 1t
should be acted upon when men, Amer
lean freemen, are expected to exer-
else the elective franchise.

THAT SILVER DOLLAR CASE
Supreme Court Dismisses 1t on Point
That Does Not Hit the


Washington, Nov. 4.-On the ground
that no federal question was involved,
the United States supreme court yes
terday dismissed the writ of error in
the case of Fred A. Baker against
stephen Baldwin, both of Michigan, in
vOlving the cOnstitutionality Of the
Bland Allison coinage act of 1878 for
the coinage of silver dollars. The case
arose out of a refusal on the part of
Baker to whom Baldwin owed $3.50,
TO accept silver dollars in payment. The
case was decided in Baldwin's interest
by the supreme court of Michigan and
Baker took il before the United States
supreme court on q writ of error.
The former decision was sustained
yesterday, but the court did not en-
ter into the merits of the controversy.
In dismissing the case the chief JUS
tice simply said: LAS our judgments
over the judgment and DEGREES of state
courts in suits in which the validity
of statutes Of the United States is
drawn in question can only be eXer-
cised under section 100 of the revised
statutes. when the decision is against
their validity, the writ of error cannot
be maintained"

going to be married tonight, and as
she is related to nearly everybody in
town and there are large number of
invitations out we are afraid it will
intefere with your crowd .
The orator then learned that the
committee had gone to the young wo-
man and begged her to postpone her
wedding on account of this political
meeting. She listened to the COM
mittee calmly and after hearing its
side of the case she did not think the
matter could be arranged. The COM
mittee rather insisted that the we'd
ding be postponed and tried to point
out TO the young woman how much
more important the political meeting
was to the community than her we'd
ding. Being young woman of spirit
she naturally bridled at this and with
some emphasis asked 1.-THE committee
if it had ever occurred to that body
that it might be a good plan to post
pone the political meet'r G. She said
she made this merely as d suggestion
and then announced that her wedding
would take place regardless of wheth-
er the country was saved or not The
wedding did take place and SO did the
political meeting. Fortunately, how
ever. there were enough people in
town to patronize both, and Cupid
and the politicians were happy.

What They Did on Saturday.
END Of A UNION DISPUTE
Chicago Federation of Labor Rescinds an
Act Expeiling n Typographical Union.

Chicago Federation Of Labor Rescinds an
Act ExpeIling n Typographical Union.
Chicago. Nov. 3.-The Chicago Fed
GRAFTON of Labor yesterday rescinded
its act of expulsion against Typo
graphical union No. 16, and offered to
reinstate the delegates when they all
ply for admission. The action of the
Chicago Federation is due directly to
an order from President Samuel Com
pers, of the American Federation, who
commanded it to reinstate the typos
by Nov. 10 or lose its right of affilia-
ton with the national body. He, in
turn. was stirred up by the Interna-
tional Typographical union, which noti-
fed him that until ne issued the or
der it would withdraw from the Amer
lean Federation.
Yesterdays action terminates two
year controversy that had its origin In
a strike. inaugurated by the newspa-
per pressmen of Chicago. When the
printers refused to join the strike, or
give the strikers their moral support,
maintaining that to do so would be to
violate their fve-year contract with
the newspaper publishers, their dele
gates were expelled from the Fedora
tiOn Of Labor.

STRIKE COMMISSIONS DAYS WORK
Includes q Visit to the Home of q
Miner John Markle's
MS~ Works Visited.

Hazleton, Pa, Nov 4.-The anthra-
cite strike commission spent all yes
terday in the Lehigh valley region, Wis
iting one mine and several of the min
ing villages. While most of the coEt
missioners were looking over the ter
ritory Recorder Wright was kept busy
on the train attending to correspond
ence. Among the matters he disposed
of was the sending of copy of Presi-
dent Mitchell's statement of the min
ers' case to all the coal companies in
volved in the dispute. The trip of the
commission through this region was
an interesting one. A conference was
held at Pond Creek between the COM
pany and miners representatives re-
garding the mine to be looked through
and it was finally agreed that it should
be the Auderried cOlliery Of the Le-
high and Wilkesbarre company.
Commission Visits q Miners Home.
The commissions first stop of the
day was at upper Lehigh, where A. c.
Leisenring, superintendent of the Up
per Lehigh Coal company, took the
commissioners for a drive through the
town. While in this place the arbitra-
tors visited one of the homes of the
miners-the first they have been ih
since they have been touring the re-
gion. Drifton was the next place Wis
tied and there a crowd gathered about
the commission as Superintendent
Smith, of Coke Bros, whose mines are
located there, explained the trouble be-
tween the company and its men. ALI
the miners employed at these mines
are still on strike because the COM
pany insists upon them returning 10
work as individuals, and not in body.
John MarkIes Works Visited.
At Jeddo, John Markle, the inde-
pendent operator. Joined the party ana
escorted the commissioners to the min
ing village of Oakdale, near Jeddo.
Markle showed them the club house
which he maintains there for the bene-
fit of the men. On the run into Hazle-
ton. where the breaker OF No. 40 shaft
was inspected. Markle, Duffy and Gal
ldSutE h'N -
spirited discussion over the differences
existing at the Markle mines. None
of lie men at the Markle colliery has
returned to work for the same reasons
as those which are keeping the men
out of the Coke mines. Markle told
them he was running the Markle COM
pany and would maintain discipline.
Vein That Has . Steep Pitch.
The entire afternoon was spent in
the Audenried mine. The commission
ers were lowered into the workings.
$50 feet below, through 1,1OO-foot
slope. One of the new physical feat
ures" they saw was a vein of coal
with a very steep pitch, which was
difficult to mine. After they came to
the surface the arbitrators visited a
stripping" which is place where
the coal lies so near the surface that
the earth can be taken off with a
steam shovel, exposing the coal and
thus making its mining an easy mat

Letter to 1heo. SpOnsler.

PLYMOUTH. Ind
DEAR SIR: AS painter you prob
ably use lead and oil, and would nat
urally object to Devoe Ready Paint.
Let us have few words on the sub
ject.
Painters say good lead and oil Job
will last three years, and they say a
house ought to be painted once in
three years.
We take them to mean that their
work is good for three years, no more
and no less, or not much more and not
much less.
Do you want Your work to last long
er? What do you say to six years.
You'd have to do have twice as much
work, you know; or you'd be losing
money.
Consider the case of your doctor.
You call him in. Is it better for him
to get your child out of bed tomOr-
row, or keep him sick for month?
You prefer a quick doctor. So does
every one else in your town, and coun-
try. and state. We are all alike; we
all want our doctors quick. A doctor,
that gets his patients up quick, is the
doctor that gets the patients-gets
rich too, if he isn't run o'death.
It's about the same with "a painter
isn't 1t? Suppose you paint Devoe,
and your competitor objects to Devoe;
your work lasts six years and his work
three. You cost your customers half;
he costs donble. Who'll get the bus
iness; and who'll 60 to Texas?
Devoe lasts SIX years-not exactly
we know of its lasting seventeen
and it never wears out in less than
three, SO far as we know. On a windy
san1y seaside house, it lasts three
years. Lead and oil lasts one year
there.
Deyoe lasts two or three times as
long as lead and oil; and it's going to
paint your town. Do you want to be
in it?
Yours truly.
F. w. DEvoE & Co.

Sented The commissioners will then
take recess until Friday, Nov. IA, by
which time the two parties will be
expected to have completed the prepa-
ration of their cases and be ready to
go on with the hearings. The commits
sioners Will also devote the interim
to preparation for the hearings by ac-
quainting themselves with the details
of the two statements.
In the Region of slope Mines.
The commissioners remained in their
sleeping car all last night. They were
met at a. m. today at Pond Creek,
about nine miles north of Hazleton, by

trict of the r. NJ. W., who will repre-
sent the miners today. General Super

shafts.

When the hearings are begun next
week it is the intention to have the
miners, who are considered the plain
tiffs. submit their case first. How long

orators will also be given an opportuni-
ty to be heard. as well as all the
larger coal companies.
What They Did on Saturday.
The arbitrators spent the entire day
Saturday in and about the city Of
Wilkesbarre, visiting one mine and
making a tour of several of the towns
on the outskirts of the city. The COM
