dent ten years ago and has been an in

what was wrong and being able to ap-
ply suitable treatment.

The real trouble commenced when
the question of the raise to be given
the miners of Putnam county, Mo-,
was brought up. The present price
for mine run coal in this district is
S3% cents, this price having been
agreed upon last year as a sort of
compromise in lieu of test being
made at the mines effected. Putnam
county and all of Missouri is necessar-
lily on mine run basis, in accordance
with the state laws, and consequently
only a mine-run price is made there
The operators indicated their willing
ness to allow a six per cent raise there
on the screened coal price, this being

After Election

! Cincinnati, Nov. s, 1903-This even
ing at the Vine Street Congregational
church the pastor, Herbert 8. Bigelow,
gave an After Election" talk in which
he discussed the lessons of the re-
cent Ohio campaign. Mr.. Bigelow
said in part:
The election in Ohio Is over. Sena-
tor Hanna Endorsement was SO over
whelming as to make his nomination
for the presidency the logic of events.
The defeat of Mayor Johnson was
so complete and decisive as to inspire
the prophesy of his enemies that john
son and his issues are buried forever.
These enemies may be right in be-
lieving that the mayor and his cause
have been eliminated from Ohio poll
tics. But until the mayor himself is
convinced of the fact they are not
likely to get the full benefit Of his
demise.
At midnight, after the election, |
received a long distance message from
the defeated candidate. There was
the same happy ring to his voice.
There was that never-failing optim-
ism for which those who know him
love him: "Give the friends my love
and tell them that the next fight will
begin tomorrow" Those who are
singing requiems over his political
grave do not know the man nor the
principles which guide him. Senator
Hanna declared on the stump that he
was a man of morbid ambition
know he is a man who holds certain
political principles in his heart with
all the force of religious conviction
IL Is no more possible for him TO ac-
knowledge defeat for those principles
than II would have been for Garrison
to have given up the struggle FOL
abolition.
II Il not likely that Senator Hanna
would dissent from Mayor Johnson''
exclamation OF the result Senator
Hanna In his canvass repeated thus
declaration: The result OF the elee
ton In Ohio thia fall Will absolutely
and beyond question of doubt deter
mine whether the present condition
oi prosperity In this country Ii q
continue or not" Mayor johnson
saws Il was this Kind uf talk. coming
from "A man who could speak with an
thorlty as one of the captains OF In
cnatry." and coming az time whei
there wag almost universal dread o
an approaching panic. that led man.

vent the shock which might COM

can we'll afford to wait; patient In
the face Of passing defeat and happy
in the confidence of final and abiding
victory.
To those who, with a mighty truth
in their heart can be discouraged by
adverse majorities, forgetting both
the fickleness of the multitude and
the endurance of the truth, the fol-
lowing parallel may be instructive.
In October, 1903, Mark Hanna said:
"The insidious doctrine championed
by Henry George is as venomoas as
the fangs of snake"
In May, 1850, James Gordon Bennett
said: "Never in the time or the
French revolution and blasphemous
atheism, was there more malevolence
and unblusning-. wickedness avoWed
than by this same (Willlam Lloyd
Garrison"
Within two years from the date Of
Gordon's utterance, the name OF the
then dominant whig party was blot
ted from the pages of American his
tory, and with the largest electoral
vote ever cast for president, the
slave party Itlulu W pOWci. hS
voice of the multitude was Gordon's
But the voice of God was Garrison's.
Within thirteen years the voice of the
Ieople became the voice of God and
Lincoln in his immortal proclamation
gave effect to the teachings of Gar
rison.
The generation that has been on the
eve of great changes. has never been
conscious of It, The triumph of aboli-
ton did not seem more preposterons
TO Gordon than the triumph of the
single tax now seems to Hanna In
the flush of his victory.
Hanna Is the Gordon, George Is
the Garrison, and Johnson Is the Linz
coin OF the battle that Is now ON for
Industrial freedom. Hanna stands for
the idsas that are dominant: Johnson
for tho truths that are vital. Hearts
that know the truth are like the stars
that hold seTeneiy 10 their course uii-
mindful OF the changing aouds.
The independent., 1903-11-12
700 O STREET,

uncomplimentary to Senator Hanna
and IL 1t is correct, 1t Just.fies Mayor
Johnson's hope for next year, which
he expressed in the following declar-
alton: "The ultimate success of the
principles of the democratic plat

ton of which will not involve the cleo
ton of an United States senator or
any other national question, but
which can be chosen with reference
to home rule and just taxation in,
which an overwhelming majority of
the people of Ohio now believe"

"penniless9 campaign. On the repub-
lican side, nothing was left undone

didate for governor on the democratic
ticket spent $4,000 in Cincinnati.

the use of money would have brought
out a large vote, there is no question.
That Mayor Johnson could have af-
forded to have spent the money, there
Is no doubt.
