THE ICONOCLASTEC ROOSEVELT.

We shall know the result of the work of the com mission appointed to arbirae the differences between the coal operators and the coal miners, in q couple of months perhaps. But even thu. earl y may anticipate the findings of the commission. com promise will doubt be effected that will not be sat isfactory to either the operators the miners. The breach will le closed for time, only to lead to dis rupton in a year or so.
 here at .e,s two sides to this strike question which of paramount interest, especially when it Is considered that President Roosevelt thought the situation grave eroagh to give 1t official cognizance At this distance and this writing We do not know whether the president acted wisely not. His action is unprecedented i.l tie annals of American history ana yet We are not prepared 10 say that his course was not. justified by the exigency. On hand sta..ds the orerators-:he coal trust. On the other the coal niners-the labor trust. One represents wealth, the ether represents brawn, yet both are trusts in tn, broad acceptation of the term. One trouble with the average is that he only see . certain kind of 'trus' through his spectacles. That articular brand of trust is the which seems rightly or wrongly, initiate against his interests Therefore he cries out it must be destroyed Another kind of trust, however, in which he is interested financially, sentimentally otherwise, must not be discrimnated against.
 In other words he would nave different laws for different trusts. It cannot be done Trusts of every description whe her they wealth trusts or brawn trusts, should be amenable to the same class of laws There should not be one law for wealth and another for brawn, but there to be. President Roose- welt in his adventure with the coal barons in suggest ing settlement of the differences between the coal baron and the coal worker, clearly allied himself with the latter. Because he did so he now has the opposition of every newspaper in the clutches of the putocracy, in the United States, matter what the brand of that plutocracy may berepublican or dem ocratic. Perhaps the president acted unwisely in thus try ing to end crisis that threatened the ma teral welfare of millions of people who are not rich perhaps it would have been better for him. if he had clothed himself in his 'presidential dignity" as has been suggested, and taken no cognzance of the cal amity which threatened millions of people, But We don't believe it. President Roosevelt is by no means . time-servng politician. If he were he would have snsconced himself in the white hons5gAr some other place and let the storm rage. Bne he is not that kind of man. Conscious of the high trust imposed upon him he is quite willing to depart from the beaten paths and act Independently both as presid- ent and American citizen. His independence, his fearlessness, his conoclasc procvites may cost him the nomination for the presidency by his party in 1904, but it will not lose him the respect and ad miraton of the great ma jorty of his fellow citizens- men and women of this great republic.

POSTOFFICE CLERKS
ORGANIZE A UNION
American Federation of Labor
Grants Charter.
Banded Together for Mutual Benefit
First Union of Its Kind il
the United States.

The American Federation of Labor last
night granted charter to the "Postoffice
Clerks Union of Washington, ID. c." This
is the first charter granted by national
labor organization to an association Of
postofice employees and the Washington
association is the first of its kind to af-
filiate with organized labor. On this ac-
count there was some doubt as to whether
the union could obtain the charter AS soon
as it was granted the temporary officers
were made permanent.
1t is expected that similar unions will
be formed in the postoffices of the coun-
try. The organization is intended to bene-
fit the clerks in the city postoffces.
The local union will unite with the
Central Labor Union, the local labor
governing body.
The officers of the organization are as
follows: President. n. II. Baker; vice pres
ident. o. II. Smith; secretary, c. l.
Brooks: financial secretary, X. II. Park

INTEREST In MEETING
OF COURT OF APPEALS
Sessions to Be Resumed
After Two Weeks Recess.
Many Decisions of Interest Expected
Case Of Rev. Liston D. Bass, Con-
victei Of Illegally Using Mails.

After a recess OF more than two weeks
the Court OF Appeals for the District VIII
resume its work tomorrow. Following
these racesses, 1t usually happens that
many opinions are handed down in pend
ing suits.
Just at this time great interest Is being
taken in the next meeting of the court,
because 1t is generally expected that a de-
cision will be handed down in the case OF
the Rev. Liston d. Bass, who was convict
ed in Criminal Court No. ] over a year
ago of unlawful use of the United States
mails Upon his conviction the defendant
was sentenced by Justice Barnard TO a
period of Imprisonment in the penitentiary
at Moundsvilie, w. Va. From this judg-
nent his counsel. Attorneys Douglass &
Douglass and Fulton and Leckie, took an
appeal.
The case was argued in the Court Of APP
peals about two months ago. District At
to.ney Gould and his assistant, Mr.. Harry
Bingham, appeared for the Government.
Head of Two Institutions.
The Rev. Mr. Bass was the head Of two
institutions known as the Bureau Of Civil
Service Information and the Union Teach
ers' Agency.
The former was advertised as a school
where persons were prepared for e1amina-
tion before the Civil Service Commission
and the latter as an agency where teachers
residing In any part of the United States
and Canada could register their applica-
ticns for work upon the payment Of GER
tain small fee.
1t was contended by the Government that
sending the literature relative to these in
stitutions through the mails was Illegal.

payers and not one cent to me.
Furthermore, a great deal has
been said about eff the curtains
could only be thrown back and
let the people see the rottenness
of this "scrip trust" Now I have
thrown the curtains back 80 far
as | am concerned and am per-
fectly willing for the people to
know my connection with the
scrip business. But suppose you
throw back the curtain and take
a look at Mr.. Hutchison's record
as a sworn official and what will
you find? You will find that he
has not only violated the law time
and time again, but he has reck-
lessly disobeyed almost every OBJ
legation he owes you as your
public servant. You will find
that he has frequently collected
money belonging to the county
and failed to pay it into the coun-
ty treasury as the law directs,
but he would come into the court
and dilly daily and take a tempo
rary credit instead of paying in
the money as he should, and yet
every thinking man knows that
when a collector collects revenue
belonging to the county there is
no excuse for not turning it over
to the county unless he has spent
it for his own purposes.
Everybody knows that this
county is deeply in debt, and If
the curtains are thrown wide open
/ think you will find that Mr..
Hutchinson is partly responsible
for it. Examine the records from
1890 to 1894 and see the charges
made. Yes, this county is deeply
in debt, much deeper than the
people are aware of. The last
financial statement shows thai
the county is in debt only Twelve
Thousand Two Hundred and
Forty Eight Dollars and Eighty
Nine Cents, and yet if you will
examine the records you will fine
that the Indebtedness is abou
four or five thousand dollar
more thon this financial statemen
shows. Throw back the curtain
and see who is to blame.

/ was in favor Of a full levy and
then get the whole amount Of
taxes extended for another year,
as I have repeatedly said the
people were not able to pay any
tax for 1901. But as Gov. Davis
refused to convene the Legislature
for that purpose the short levy
made was the best thing that
could have been done for the
people under the circumstances.
Now to show you fellow citizens
that this man Hutchison had this
dirty method Of campaign in him
when he was talking to me about
scrip, at January term of court at
Hardy he beckoned me behind
Clayton's store and said let's get
back here and not let any one see
US talking. He knew then what
he was going to make his next
campaign on. oibl
Now he tells the people thatI
have all the scrip and won't sell
it. Do control his scrip that he
gets on his salary of something
near $1,000 year that he has
sold to you at 100c on the dollarg
If do he is a part of the "Trust"
he refers to. Now he has told all
over the county about whipping
me at Hardy. l wish to say here
that l am no scrapper and do not
want to be considered such, but
Jasper Hutchinson has never
whipped me and am of the
opinion he never will.

those parties might want to put

1st: When the contract was
let in 1894 for the building of the
court house in the Southern Dis.
trict, the county had to have a
bond for the building OF the
house. With reluctance ! went
on this bond at the request OF
S. H. Davidson, J. B. McCaleb
and others, who stated that IT we
did not make the bond we would
lose the court house. Being a
public spirited man and not want
ing to lose the court house |
signed the bond with W. A. Ed.
wards and others. The contract
ors who came to build the house
had nothing in the way of finan'
ces with which to build it. l had
to furnish flour for their suppers
the night they came here, and
frola that time on w. A. Edwards
and myself had to put up our
money to build the house, except
what some of our citizens lost by
not being able to get the con-
tractors to pay them for work
done in building the house. II
was not matter OF choice we die
this, but we were on bond t(
the county and knew the bond
