Boston Citizens Seek Relief
in Court From the An
thracite Shortage.
WANT COLIIERIES OPERATED,
Ask that Coal Be Sold at Prices
To Be Fixed by the
Court.
NINE COMPANIES ARE OFFEND.
ANTS.

Boston, September PA committee
of citizens, headed by the publishers OF
9 Boston newspaper, today sought re-
lief In the courts from the present coal
shortage and high prices by asking for
a receiver for the coal companies and
coal carrying roads. A bill in equity
was fled in the Supreme Court against
the following named corporations:
The Philadelphia & Reading Rail-
road Company, the Central Railroad OF
New Jersey, the Lehigh Valley Rail
road Company, the Delaware, Lacka-
wanna & Western Railroad Company,
the Delaware and Hudson Company,
the New York, Ontario & Western
Railroad Company, the Erie, Railroad
Company, the Pennsylvania Coal COM
pany, and the Reading Iron & Coal
Company.
The petitioners ask that q receiver
be appointed for the benefit of all con-
cerned upon such terms and in such
m amer, and with such agents and serv-
ants, and with such rates of wages and
OF her conditions of employ ment, and at
such prices for goods produced and sold,
as the court shall from time TO time
adjudge proper.
The bill Is based upon the legal the.
ory of the coal situation given by H. w.
Chaplin, q lawyer. Mr.. Chaplin says
in support of his position:
''Since the public have q right in the
mines, q right to have coal forthwith
mined for immediate consumption, and
have q right to have that coal immedi-
ately transported out of the mine re-
gions by the coal carrying roads, q
court Of equity. il no other solution of
the di fficulty Is open, has authority to,
and upon the application OF = repre-
sentative portion Of the people un-
doubtedly would, appoint r receiver or
receivers to take into his or their hands
the whole business now in the hands of
the anthracite coal combine, aud 10 run
It in their place"
A subpoena to serve on the defend
ants, giving notice of the bringing Of
the suit, Is to be taken olt on Monday
by the plaintiffs lawyer, and il will
probably be returnable in November.

Keep the Day Sacred.

The National G. A. r. Encampment
will take action at its coming session,
TO prevent the turning of Memorial
Day into q day OF recreation and games.
It is a day set apart by the Grand
Army, to pay due honor to their heroic
dead, but there is tendency among
the selfish, idle, profane and unpatriotic
to turn 1t into day Of festivities, and
thus make it day of dishonor TO the
memory of the soldiers, for such OBJ
servance Of 1t shows that there is no
disposition 70 honor the memory of
those whose graves are then decorated
by their comrades.

AT The REPUBLICAN
Campaign Opening at Akron,
Saturday.

There was a large crowd at Akron,
Saturday, at the opening OF the Repub-
lican campaign. Secretary Root and
Senators Foraker and Hanna were the
speakers. Foraker made the chief
speech, Root and Hanna making terse
but not lengthy addresses.
The several issues OF the campaign
were discussed In an able manner. and
the folly OF stopping prosperity by put
ting the Democratic party In power
was forcibly put.
But the campaign doesn't start of Il
suit US. Let US have series OF join
debates between Foraker and Ton
Johnson. We will guarantee this az

Fishing in the Auglaize river is bet

and the disciples of Isaac Walton are
growing IN number. Bass weighing

ROOSEVELT
Defines His Position on
the Tariff Question.

President Roosevelt spoke on tariff
revision. He said: What we really
need in this country is TO treat the tar
i'll as business proposition-nOt from
the standpoint of the temporary
needs of any political party. L. surely
ought not to be necessary to dwell upon
the extreme unwisdom, from u business
standpoint, from the standpoint OF ns-
tional prosperity, OF violent and radical
changes amounting TO the direct upset
ting of tariff policies at intervals OF
every few years
ga nation like ours can adjust its
business affairs to any kind of tariff.
But neither our nation or any other
can stand the ruinous policy of read
justfng its business to radical conditions
in the tariff At short intervals.
SIT is on every account most ear
nestly to be hoped that this problem
can be solved in some manner into
which partisanship shall enter as g
purely secondary consideration, If al
all; that is-in some manner which shall
provide for an earnest effort, by non
partisan inquiry and action, TO secure
any change the need of which is indi
Gated by the effect found to proceed
from & given rate of duty on q giveI
article: its effect, II any, as regards th'
creation of q substantial monopoly: it
effect upon domestic prices, upon th'
revenue of the government, upon i'm
| portations from abroad, upon hom
consumption.
"We need to devise some machiner
by which. while persevering, in the
policy of q protective tariff in which
think the nation as whole has nov
generally acquiesced, would be able t
correct the irregularities and remov
the incongruities produced by tn
lchanging conditions, without destroy
ing the whole structure. Such ma
chinery would permit US to continu
Jour definitely settled tariff policy whil
providing for the changes in dutie
upon particular schedules
"Of course in making any change
we should have to proceed in accord
Iance with certain fixed and definit
principles, and the most important {
these is an avowed determination I
J protect the interests OF the America
! producer, be he business man, wag,
; Garner, or farmer"

AT Tiffin, Saturday, travelling man
strayed into Tom Johnson's meeting,
and wanted to know why man
should oppose a County Auditor, who
did not come up to his ideas about
assessing railroads, and yet not oppose
Doc. Norton, the Democratic nominee
for Congress, who is the attorney of the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad? The
answer to the question disclosed the
demagOgue.

GEN. FUNSTON is sorry for the poor
soldiers, because the canteen has been
abolished. He thinks taking the ''can-
teen''out of the camp makes the soldiers
visit low down shops outside camp,
where they find poor whisky and bad
women. Why does he stop with half
way cure? Why doesn't he advocate
setting up bswdy houses in camp and
keep the soldiers from hunting up bad
women out of camp. This talk like
Funston's is rot. II soldiers can't be-
have themselves when they get passes,
it is an easy matter to stop the passes.

Having plenty of gold in the Treas
ury, Secretary Shaw in order to release
some of this, and help the stringency of
the money market in New York last
week, offered to buy Government per
cent. bonds, paying . premium of s5
on 500, but the people don't want to
sell them, even at that price. What
other Government under the sun, is
there, that can't buy its own bonds at
par, and not even by offering per

The United States takes nothing from
the Philippines, and now It appears
from q detailed report Of Governor
Taft's recent speech that the pope will

outside OF the islands. Perhaps the
anti-imperialists will also find some

SENATOR Hanna says to the Republi-

the key note of the campaign. We
have good crops, full treasury, the
best of money, and prosperity that
was never exceeded. All that Republi-
cans have to do is to ''stand pat" and
see that nothing is lost by Republican
dissensions or overconfidence.
