Hanna Said "SmOke.o

Kent co. Special to st. Louis World.
All Portage county is admiring Senator
M. A. Hanna for what he said to a street
car conductor while in this county. 1t was
on the trip from Ravenna to Kent. The
car was special one, ordered by the COM
mittee, and there were no women aboard.
Everybody started to smoke.
The conductor, apparently seeking noto-
riety, picked out the senator, and, tapping
him on the shoulder, said:
"You can't smoke in here!'
Isn't this a special carr" queried the
senator
Eyes, SIR" answered the conductor.
"And it's paid for, isn't it?' continued
Mr.. Hanna.
81 suppose So" was the reply.
Then, said the senator, Il guess We'll
smoke.
The conductor hastily retired.

Citizens of New Castle, Greenfield and
other towns in this richest vineyard of the
world are indulging in the luxury of straw
berry shortcake made from strawberries
grown on home vines in this latter part of
October, the second crop this year. Con-
nersville people are fond of strawberries in
season but just now their favorite is the
pumpkin and strawberry shortcake in the
fall doesn't begin to compare with the lus-

bowl of sparkling cider made from the
abundant crop of the best apples ever
grown in Fayette county.

The trustees of the Consumers Gas
Trust have not expressed their opinion in
regard to the steps necessary to secure the
continued services of that organization, as
proposed by Mr.. Potts, and it is, perhaps,
well that they should not until the sub
ject comes before them officially. The
Journal does not hesitate to say, however,
that with its present light upon the sub
ject it is unable to see that anything is to
be gained for the community by throw
ing the concern into the hands of a re-
ceiver, as demanded by Mr.. Marott. On
the contrary, public interests may suffer
by thus complicating its affairs. The high
character of the trustees justifies the belief
that they will take action that would
conflict with the public good and that any
board of directop they appoint may be
trusted to deal as fairly with the COM
munity as could be done by receiver. The
proposed appointment seems to be unnec-
essary and unwise.

TRADES UNION POLITICS.

One of the most intelligent discussions Of
unionism as developed in America that has
yet been printed appears in the current is
sue of McClure's Magazine from the pen of
Ray Stannard Baker who shows very clear
ly that the management of the union does
not differ materially from the game of poll
tics, and the same causes and effects of
good and evil operate in both. AS matter
of fact these causes and effects vary in
their operation much along the same lines
they do in politics. Only city like New
York o: Chicago could develop such a thor
oughly corrupt union boss as Sam Parks,
just as it is only the large centers Of popu-
lation. where interests and amusements are
more multifarious and people are more care
less of the essentials of life and morals, that
the most arrogant and corrupt type of polit-
zeal boss can be developed.
The foundation of the power of the polit-
zeal boss is the failure of the average citi-
zen, who is honest and wants honest govern
ment, to attend party primaries and take a
personal interest in organizing his political
party and in transacting the party business.
He is a busy man and has many other
things to do. II he had as much time to
look after these things as has the resident
of the smaller town he would have as honest
government as the people of the village. So
it is in the union. The great body of men,
bers of the union are intelligent honest
workmen. but because they are intelligent
and honest workmen they have jobs at
which they work all day, and when night
comes they are prone to stay at home with
their families and leave the business of the
union meeting to be transacted by the indis-
Greet and irresponsible. These men control
the action of the unions in the larger GEN.
tiers. make their rules, and elect their Off
GERS and determine even such important
questions as strikes. In the smaller COM
munities this is not so easily done, for there
the union meeting is an event which at
tracts the attendance of a much larger pro-
portion of the membership. There they take
hand in the matter, while in the larger
cities they leave ii to a few, and it thus in
evitably drifts into the hands of the boss.
