ASPHALT PRICE DOWN
THE TRUST HAS A RIVAL
Made for Paving In New .st
York.

from Tho Journal BHreGN,n Room %, Poss
Btizdiss0s Washington.
Washington, Aug. 1t looks as if the
present would be good time for the lay
ing OF asphalt pavements. New York and
Washington have recently opened bids,
and found the prices considerably below
those Of previous years. The asphalt trust
has formidable rival at present. and
competition is pushing the price down.
The Barber company in New York this
week bids as low as $1.02 and Slips per
yard for paving These figures are just
half what the same company asked last
year for a similar grade Of work. A $780,
900 contract was let this week in Wash
ington, and the trust captured 1t at $1.56
per yard, as compared with $174, the
lowest bid OF former years.

MINES ABANDONED
Five Collteries Worth Over a Million
Permanently Shut Down., l

Shenandoah, - Pa, Aug. 7.-William
Stein, the state mine inspector for the
Shenandoah region, announces that five
collieries under his Jurisdiction, having
an estimated total value Of $1500, 900,
have been rendered useless by water and
have been permanently abandoned.
Four of them-Bear Run, East Bear
Ridge, Kohineer and Preston No. 3-be-
longing to the Philadelphia and Reading
Coal and Iron company, are valued at
about $1,000 each. Mr.. Stein estimates
that out of the thirty-six collieries in his
district only fourteen are in condition for
immediate operation If the strike were
ended The others are in such condi-
tion that it would require anywhere from
one to four months to clear them OF
water and make repairs. The abandon
ment of the five colieries will compel
1000 mine workers to seek employment
in other parts of the region.
veritable reign of terror prevails In
the Mahanoy valley at present, and it
can be said that the life Of no nonunion
man is safe. The foreigners and the
lower classes of the native mine workers
have banded together, and their lawless
acts keep the community in turmoil.

dacy For County Attorney.
The candidacy of James P. English,
candidate for county attorney, has en-
listed the active support of surpris-
ing1y large circle of personal friends
and they are conducting vigorous
and effective campaign in his behalf.
Mr.. English is personally devoting
considerable time to the canvass, but
although he is candidate it wou1dinot
be possible for him to feel any more
interest in the outcome than is being
manifested by the supporters who are
enthusiastically working in his behalf.
He has received assurance of support
from many who are not of his own
party faith.
"A prominent Republican lawyer said
yesterday afternoons: "There is no
cleaner, more conscientious or upright
man in Douglas county than Jim En-
lish. He is credit to his profession
and an honor to the community. He
will make In ideal public official and I
shall cast my vote for him. If po1iti-
cal parties would make it point to
occasionally nominate men of his
character and caliber it would do more
than any one thing to make men break
over their party lines and show that an
effort to raise the standard of official
life is appreciated. Omaha Bee.
Mr.. English is former Kenosha
boy and his many friends in Kenosha
will wish him the greatest success in
his canvass.

The crowd, which packed the opera
house to hear the speech of Mr.. Will
shire, was the same crowd that had
turned out on other occasions to hear
LaFollette and Rose and it is evident
that the people of Kenosha desire to
be posted from every standpoint in the
coming campaign. On the platform
there was change, for instead of the
Republicans and Democrats there were
seated the leaders of the new Social
Democratic party.
The speaker was introduced by w.
E. Swartout, the Social Democratic
candidate for county clerk. Mr.. Will
shire was impartial in his drives at the
opposition and paid his respects to
both Democrats and Republicans with
equa1vigor and if there was any favor

his address he was interrupted with
prolonged applause.
"We Socialists" said the speaker,
"aim at the abolition of poverty.
Socialism, when it is accepted by the
world, will mean a condition of uni
versa1 happiness. What makes people
poor is not really the lack of money,
but the everpresence of wealth. The
solution of the economic problem of
the day depends upon the proper dis
tribution of wealth. The working
man under present conditions does not
get paid according to what he produces
but according to what the unemployed
men demand. At best, under the COM
petitive wage system, all that man
can get is bare living.
statistics show that a 1aboring
man produces So, 400 a year and gets
wages of $500. The employer takes
the balance. The difference between
what the laborer produces and his
wages is the surplus wealth that is
talked so much about. Mr.. Morgan is
only able to expend a small part of his
enormous income, and the accummula-
ton of the surplus gives him every
year an opportunity to increase his
capital by sheer accummula ton. If
Mr.. Morgan would only give his work
men the surplus their condition would
be made better.
voting is great lottery. Every
voter gets prize or a blank. Those
who vote the9 Democratic or Republi-
can tickets get blank. Those who
vote the Social Democratic ticket get a
prize.
"The ordinary politician now doesn't
talk Of destroying the trusts, but of
regulating them. Nobody is talking
of destroying the trusts, but Bryan,

and nobody hears him. President
Roosevelt represents the popular ideaof
dealing with the trusts held by every
body who is not Socialist
The speaker devoted good deal of
attention to ]. Pierpont Morgan and
the trusts. He moralized that the only
escape from them was to vote the So
cia1 Democratic ticket.

his hand, and every year we confirm

that Mr.. Morgan is not worse than he
is when you consider what fool the
people make of him"
