THE MOST IMPORTANT
 POLITICAL ISSUE
Described by Secretary Root to New
 York Republicans.

New York, October 30.-Cooper Union was filled tonight with people who came to attend a republican meeting the principal speakers being Mayor Low, Governor Odell and Secretary of War Root.
 The secretary said that the national issues of this political campaign in it's most important and political aspect is whether President Roosevelt shall be sustained in his administration of the national government
 What is there which calls for change? ?' the secretary said. "Is the reae0n to be found in a desire for curb ing the trusts. for an effective treat ment of labor troubles, or for a re- vision of the tariff? Certainly not. The evils complained of are an Cutgrowth of the process of industrial develop ment of the age. Their regulation is also necessary part of that process.
 The republican party proposes to follow that course; to regulate and curb and suppress the bad trusts rather than to destroy the good and bad together. nd with them the prop crty which brings such benefcent re- suits to all our country"

coal dust in the breakers. Notwith- standing this their eagerness for infor- ation was not diminished and they eX- pect to put in another hard days work tomorrow in this vicinity.
 It would be unfair to say that one commissioner displayed more interest tdan another but it can be truly sad that Bishop Spaulding asked more questions than any of the others. He vas usually in front of the group of commissioners and asked many ques- tons of those who are employed in and about the mines. All the commission CTS are good listeners but poor talkerh, when it came down to getting an eX- pression from them on any feature of the mining business. From their ac- tons today it is certain they have agreed not to say what they think Of the questions that will come before them. Several persons approached one or another of the commissioners during the day merely for the purpose to have him say what he thought of something he saw and in each case the inquirer was rebuffed.
 President Mitchell of the Miners un ion came from WilkesbGrre tonight. He was accompanied by Clarence C. Da!'~ row of Chicago. who had been appoint ed by Mir Mitchell as attorney to rep resent the miners before the arbitra ton commission. The two ha da con- ference with several members of the commission tonight regarding the sub- mission of testimony. They wanted to know how far an attorney could go in the representation of the miners case. Neither the commissioners nor the min CTS representative would say any thing regarding the conference. MT. Mitchell will return to Wilkesbarre to- morrow.

YOUNG MEN AT WORK
To BUILD A HOME.
Americas May Have Hand
some Building.
ASSISTANCE is PROMISED THEM
From Abroad if They Succeed in Get
ting a Helping Hand F4ere-Growth
of the League Hlere-A Building is
Very Much Needed.

Americas may have another hand
some building at an early date if the
membervPt the Young Mems Chris
tian League succeed in carrying out
plans now under discussion, and at the
same time receive helping hand from
the good citizens of Americas.
A Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton building is what is needed.
And with assurances of outside as
sistance, already given, the promoters
of the enterprise will push it to a sue
cessful conclusion if our own people
will lend helping hand.
The Christian League here is an
independent organization, started a
year or two ago by number of young
men of the city. It is non-denomina-
tional, and SO interesting is the work
and wide its scope of usefulness that
the league has had wonderful growth
in year.
But to further increase its usefulness
and to the end of being Incorporated in
the State Y. M. G. a. the local league
may be merged therein if present plans
are carried out. Aud in this event it
is proposed to erect handsome home
in Americas for that order.
Already the movement is being dis
cussed and upon all sides meets with
favorable consideration.
If the local league succeeds in rails
ing herea certain sum, by subscription
or otherwise, philanthropic friend of
the Y. n. &. A. residing in another
city, will lend his efforts and money
to the cause.
No definite plans have been made as
yet, but if the movement succeeds the
proposed association will erect here a
very handsome two or three story brick
building, the ground floor to be used
for stores and the upper floors by the
young men.
The Times Recorder hopes to be able
to announce soon that the plans con-
templated will be carried out.
