Washington. August 3.-The republican text book for the campaign of 1902 has been issued by the republican congress- ional committee. The book which is in pamphlet form and contains ss0 pages, make liberal quotations from the speech es of both Mckinley and Roosevelt and also extracts from their messages to their congress in support of republican doctrine The book reviews the record of the republican party from. it's beginning to the present time.
 Under the heading protection and pros perity'' eight pages are devoted to ad- vocacy of protection. Twenty pages are devoted to tho trusts and in opening the discussion the books thus describes the attitude of the two parties:
 The attitude of the two great parties on the trust question is clearly defined. That of the democratic party looks to constant agitation with no restrictive legislation; that of the republican to such restriction as will prevent arbitrary ad- vances in prices or reduction in wages through exclusive control, but not the destruction by legislation or injury by fictitious agitation of legitimate enter prises through the great manufacturing
 
 ened. prices of manufactures are re- duced and permanency of employment se- cured"
 Following this is the record of the re- publican party on the trust question men, ton of the Sherman antitrust law Me- Kinley's recommendation, proposed legis- lation by the republicans and a quotation from MT. Roosevelt's message to the F1fty-seventh congress. which is describ- ed as Conservative but fearless" The assertion is made that the share of the trust in business Is comparatively small The book says:
 ''The trusts have not occupied as great place in the manufacturing industries as they have in public discussion.''
 Further along it Is asserted:
 ''The republican administrations of President Mckinley and President Roose- felt have made a good record in their efforts to execute the antitrust law There has been no shirking of duty be- cause of the powerful financial influence behind the trusts. There has been no hesitation for fear the law would not prove effective. These two republican Presidents have recognized no man or corporation as above the law"
 The assertion also is made that free trade England is the home of trusts"

 Still Confident of Winning.

WiIkesbarre Pa, August 3.-President John Mitchell of the United Mine Work CTS made another visit to Scranton to- day. Before going he said there was no change in the strike situation.

From what he could learn the Oxford mine in the Lack awana region was being operated by new men, None of the old employees had re- turned. and at meeting they pledged themselves not to return. MT. Mitchell said the same conditions prevailed throughout the entire region. The strik- CTS were still confident they were going to win, and so long as they felt that way there was little probability that they would report for work.
 It Is reported today that work will be resumed at the Woodward colliery of the Delaware Lackawana and Western com pany tomorrow, and that a number of the old firemen would report for work. State Secretary J. F. Mullahy of the Station ary Firemen's association did not think any of the firemen would go back, but he issued an address today urging all striking firemen to keep away from the mine and stand by Mitchell until the strike was won.
 The Public alliance and the working mems alliance, two organizations said to be opposed the the Citizens alliance. have been organized here. They will send a petition signed by thousands of cit izens to the coal operators, asking thehi to arbitrate, and If they refuse, Cover nor Stone will be requested to take some action to compel the coal companies to come to terms with their employees.

cation is the aim of every young man

tivity and competition the strong and
well equipped force to the front while
the weaker. who have not been able or
desirous of qualifying themselves to
meet the demands of business must
perforce fail by the wayside. Insti-
tutions for the thorough training of
young men and women exist through
out the country. In Minneapolis one
school in particular. the Electic Bus

mission as testified to by the many
young men and women who have
