have not been particularly strong
ones, yet it is confidently hoped by
the local management. of the course
that the Sterling Opera Company,
which is to be the next of the series
to appear, will make up for all de-
ficiencies. 1t is usually the case
that one or more numbers in these
courses are liable to be considered
somewhat fiat, and while Mr.. Davis
would hardly come under that head,
yet it is no more than fair to say
that the audience was not wild with
enthusiasm. His work was clever
enough, bui as lecturer he falls fiat,
and his anecdotes were covered with
a gray-bearded age that failed to
entertain or enthuse.
Frequent is the complaint that
inen in an official position are not
just what they should be. They
may lack ability or not have fine
sense of honor. Again they may
be actually dishonest. If this is
true to any great extent we believe
that the newspapers are partially to
blame for it. Many honest men who
have ability do not enter the polite
al arena simply because of the drub-
bling that they are sure to receive
from the newspapers when the an-
nouncement is made that they are
willing to serve their country in an
official capacity. We haye case in
point. The question has recently
been asked ''who is LARSON" We
dc not know who started the ques-
tion and so far as we know it is not
of any great Importance. The ques-
tion could be asked about any man
at some time during his public Ca
reer. The question was asked con
corning presidential candidate not
many years ago, yet he was elected
and made a good president.
Although not personally acquaint-
ed with Mr.. Larson we have known
him by sight for many years an
can say that he is bright and active
man and we are informed that be is
well liked in the communities in
which he has lived
} But that is not the question be-
fore the republicans of this congress
sional district. Mr.. Jenkins has at.
tanned position in congress which
is reached by only few. His
ability is recogn zed there. Has
his work been satisfactory to the
people of his district? He is in
position to secure about anything
that anyone ought to have. Has he
failed in any manner, to give good
service to his district? So far as we
have read our exchanges no such
charge has been made.
When an official betrayed his trust
neglects his duties, or fails 40 ac-
complish what he ought to for the
people who elected him then is the
time to look for dew man. We do
not believe. however, that that time

who insisted upon the literal place with

There is just one thing that occurs to
the thoughtful mind to sustain the

IRON AND STEEL
Interesting Figures Brought Out by An
nouncement That Reduction Of
Freight Rates is Being
Sought For

Washington, d. c., Dec. 6-The re-
cent announcement that reduction of
freight rates on iron and steel man
ufactures intended for transportation
is being. made by the railroads for the
purpose Of encouraging exports Of
American iron and steel manufactures
lends interest to some figures co.Gpil-
ed by the department OF commerce Of
the United states in iron and steel
manufactures. These show that manu-
factures of iron and steel form the
largest single item of our exports OF
manufactured articles, and have shown
a more remarkable growth in expor-
tation than perhaps any oother great
article In the large number which form
the classification of manufactures"
In 1860 the total was S5.S6011i in
1880. S14,716,52i; in 1890, S25,542, POS;
and in 1900. S121, ,913,54S.
In 1891 the total was $117,319,3 800; in
1902, $9S,552 562: and IN 1903, SOC, ,642,-
4G7. That the decrease in expectations
since 1900 is chiefly due 10 increased
home demand is indicated by the fact
that the domestic production of pig
iron, the basis of iron and steel manu-
features has increased from 13,7892I2
tons in 1902, an increase Of about 50
per cent during the period in which the
reduction OF exports occurred. A FIR
ther evidence of the large home do
mand for lion and steel Is found in
the fact thai during this recent period,
in which the production Of pig iron was
greatly increased ard the exports Of
manufactures Of iron and steel decrcas-
Cd, the inIportatlons OF iron and steel
grew from S2o,aiS.72S in 1900 to $751;
61?312 in 1903.
- Considering he distribution of iron
and steel TO the varions countries ot
the world, ii may be said that Europe
took in 1900 larger total than any
other of the grand divisions. the total
value Of iron and steel exports from
the UniCed States to Europe in that
year being S45.7SS55i In that year
North America took Si2,37S,11J in val

President James ]. Hill of the Great

President James j. Hill of the Great
Northern railway is credited in a ST.
Paul dispatch with making some sar-
castle remarks on the criticism of the
railroads and their rates and he gave
some figures that were rather in the
nature of a revelation to the general
public. He had been accused of put
ting restraint upon trade by keeping
up rates and stated that his road and
the shipping interests allied with it
were hauling 2,400 miles by rail and
$500 miles by water for but very lit
tie more than it costs to ship flour
from Minneapolis to the Atlantic sea-
coast This has resulted In working
up a great foreign TRACE for American
-four, which goes to Australia and
China by way~of the Pacific ocean,
Goaded on by politicians, the pub
lie generally is given to unjust criti-
cism of railroads. This is not pop
ular thing to say. The tendency is
to abuse the great companies that have
built lines over the country. It is not
popular, but it is true. There was
time when the people of this country
were wild to get railroad facilities.
Townships and counties would borrow
money by issuing bonds. would prom
ise immunity from taxation and every
thing else that would induce the build
ing of line.
Now 1t is different Railroads have
become political issue. They are the
prey of lobbyists and DOODLE politi-
clans. Legislation is started every
time the general assembly of Ohio
meets in order that the companies will
come down with the Doodle This is
true as to the 2-cent fare bill which
bobs up every session. only to be kill
ed after struggle and a threat of
passing it.
Railroads perhaps a. not pay as
much taxes as they sDould, yet for the
little narrow strip of land that they
occupy in running through Stark coun-
ty they pay more taxes than any other
institutions that exist The total paid
by all he railroads is such large
amount that If withdrawn would
prove calamity. 1t the railroads
themselves were to drop out, the COM
munity would suffer more than the
stockholders.
If the authorities succeed in secur-
ing evidence enough against Young
and Forsythe, the two boys who have
been arrested charged with assault up
on John A. Miller, Friday night, there
should be quick and severe judgment
meted out. The effect upon the COM
munity will be more salutary and 9TH
ers will be deferred from attempting
similar crimes. Should Miller die, the
impanneling of special grand jury
would hardly be necessary, as court
will meet in January, but after court
does meet and the indictments are
found, there should be no postpone
ments further than those allowed the
accused under the statutes. When
crimes are committed and the guilty
are tried year or more later, the
punishment and the crime are so far
separated that the effect is lost upon
others who might be treading in the
same steps.
