The delays are Just as bad
as ever; the cars are late just as they
were previously, and the new big cars
for the suburban lines are as nearly
finished as they were six months ago.
Whether the Everett-Moore trouble
has affected those two lines or not. 1t
is very evident that If all the beneficial
changes which have not been made
since the change of hands, continue,
the long suffering public will soon begin
to realize that the accommodations Of
fered by this company are not such as
are offered to small villages farther
north. 1t is not an infrequent occur
renee to see people waiting for subur-
bas cars. stamping round to keep them
selves warm because there is no provi-
sion made for their shelter and COM
fort.
Whether the improvements on these
roads come or not, there ought to be
some consideration shown for these
patrons of the cars.

MahOning's Righteous Indig-
nation.

Apropos of this freshly revived tall:
about making over the congressional
districts in this end Of the state, somr
of the papers in the Eighteenth dis
trict are reviving that mean story Of
alleged padding of the vote of Colum-
biana. The corner county has had an
evil reputation for years on her meth
cd of voting everything and counting
both ways. The following, from the
Youngstown Vindicator, would indi-
cate that Mahoningtes, who are SO
scr,lpulously honest in all matters per-
tanning to the ballot, find it hard to
forgive any gang Of rngsters for un-
lawful monkeying with the Kangaroo:
"The question of registration of vot-
ers has bothered the city officials of
East Liverpool for some months and
All effort is now to le maize to get y
bill through the Legislature to provide
for registration which, it is hoped, will
result in some benefits not now had
under the plan that is in vogue. When
East Liverpool gets registration it may
be possible to determine about how
many people from West Virginia have
been in the habit of voting on this side
of the river. 1t is not probable, how
ever, that any great difference will be
noticed in the vote at the Republi-
can county primaries. East Liverpool
has been known on such occasions to
cast more votes than there were Re-
publicans, Democrats and Prohibition.

Senator Archer and Others
Think There Would bo Some
Friction In Case Of Re-
districting.
(From a STAIR correspondent.,

(From a STAFF Correspondent
Columbus, Jan. 22.-Members of the
general assembly whose counties are
likely to be thrown into a congress
sional district with Columbiana, have
interested themselves in the action OF
the Columbiana Republican committee
in shutting out everybody but Con-
gresham Tayler, unless they happened
urday. Since the NewsDemocrat
printed the true inwardness of the Col
umbiana county deal, Monday, other
papers throughout the state have taken
note Of 1t, because Congressman Tayler
Is considered to be factor in tho
gubernatorial race, and anything he
may do to impair or enhance his
chances for the nomination is good
reading and worth studying.
1T ISN'T FAIR. SAYS ARCHER.
Senator Archer, of Belmont, For
aker leader in the senate, and who was
chosen president prQtem. at the recent
selection of officers, was seen by the
News-Democrat's correspondent with
reference to the situation. He said
he did not know what the situation
was, and 1t was explained to him.
What would you think of the action
of Columbiana county, in shutting you

district with it," was asked.

"I see that the effect would be to give
home county. Then he would have TO
go into convention and take his
chances with the others. In our dis
trict We expect a man to come with a
solid delegation at home. We have
never gone into other counties nor
have they come into ours"
WOULD FIX THE BARS.
Put, in the Eighteenth it is differ
ent. Mr.. Tayler got his first nomina-
ton by going to Stark and defeating
Thomas II. Morgan in many of the dis
tricts. and last time he ran he lost
Salem's IL votes in his own country,
and came close to losing some others, :"
was suggested. "In the event that Mr.
Tayler should put up the bars in his
county SO far as your candidate were
concerned ard should ask to have the
bars up so he could get into your
county, what would you do about it?"
well, in that event he would find
the bars were fixed so he couldn't get
in" said Senator Archer.
POSSIBLE RETALIATION.
Representative Beal, of the Carroll
Harrison district, residing in Harrison
county, said:
"If the county should be thrown with
ours and they would expect to come
over and contest for our delegates, our
people would have something to say.
Anyone coming, who was backed by a
delegation that we were estopped from
contesting, might not do very we'll in
the convention. Our people would
strenuously object"

deavor to arrange a through Continental

The Russian State Railroad Bureau will

Sea freights from Odessa to F1adivo-

Russian ship owners. protected from out

One of the chief difficulties in arrang-7
ing a satisfactory rate through Siberia
and Manchuria Is the high cost of keep

cost, but the Russian officials hope to be
able to overcome this. and establish rates
/ by which the Far Eastern road will be-

The Temps prints an interview with
Professor Lacroix, who defends himself
for not having foreseen the new eruption.
He says that a long, personal study OF
Mont Pelee extending frcm June End to
July 31st, convinced him that. all the
rUptions large OF small. OF the preced-
ing three months, had been confined to
the narrow region extending from LIE Pre-
cheur to LIE Carbet, southwest of the
volcano. The region Just devastated lies
east, ana there was no reason, July 3lst,
to suppose that any new eruption would
work such devastation, as everything
led to the belief that if one occurred it
would be confined to the region already
devastated.
