BIG STRIKE IN SPAIN.
Bad Harvests Contribute to the Gen.
 eral Unrest.

Madrid. Aug. 3.-The threatened general strike commenced today in several centers, in- cIuding Barcelona, Mucia, Cadiz. Ronda and Aleoy
 The general unrest is largely attributed to bad harvests but the immediate motive for the strike is to reinforce the demand for the release of numerous workmen who have been thrown into prison for offenses in connection with the recent strikes. The leaders of the movement are exhorting the members of the trades unions not to return to work until all the imprisoned men have been released.
 The Government has taken stringent meas ures to cope with disturbances. The military forces and the civil guards have been rein forced wherever necessary and the troops are threatened with severe penalties.

at the Agricultural College has been
rounded out, and with nature smil
ing upon the happy events of the
week, the occasion has been marked
with a series of most interesting and
notable entertainments and exer-
cises.
The town has been filled with
visitors from all over the state,
friends of graduates and other stu
dents, and the week has been one of
life and color and excitement.
Saturday evening the annual re-
cital of the students of the musical
department was held, the prominent
feature being the piano contest for
the Burgan medal, handsome
gold medal presented to the
pianist playing two selections with
best expression and Interpretation.
The medal was awarded by the
committee of judges Prof. Strong,
Mrs. w. J. Windus, and the Prof
essor of music at the u. of Ito
Miss Mozee and was presented dur
ing the exercises of Thursday morn
ing of this week. The recital was
most enjoyable event and was a
treat to all music lovers.
The baccalaureate address was
delivered by Rev. H. D. Kimball,
pastor of Vincent M. E. church of
Spokane, at three O'Clock Sunday
afternoon. His subjectwasi TbeOri-
gin and Importance of Tfiie Charact-
er." Theidea developed was that the
origin of true character is the "new
birth, y and its importance is such
as to condition ones power and use
fulness. The mission of the church
is to produce manhood which, like
Godhood, is love- Christianity re-
forms fallen manhood and restores
love. A new life" is to character
what the acorn is to the oak. No
power could compel the acorn to
produce anything but an oak, like
wise, true character cannot produce
anything but good. Character an
tedates habit and principle as the
tree antedates the fruit. every
good tree bringeth forth good fruit,
but corrupt tree bringeth forth
evil fruit" The fruit of true char
acter is simple goodness. The
greatest successes of life are condi-
toned by character. Ten good
men in a community have more
power and influence than one hun
dred bad men. Napoleon, although
great, could be soon forgotten, while
the hero of Mt. Vernon lives with
ever increasing power.
The address to the christian So
cieties was delivered by Rev. w.
H. Fry, of Spokane, Sunday even
ing, in the college chapel.

ness and four from the school of ag-

ID. NJ. Parry, the intrepid foe of or
ganized labor is, according to dis
patches, in immediate danger of as
sassination. Some misguided union
lists are intent upon taking his life
and 1t has been necessary for him to
protect by arms his country home near
Indianapolis. In the face of this in.
formation it behooves the leaders Of
trade unionism to throw every possi-
bic protection about Mr.. Parry. A
crime such as is contemplated would
work infinitely more harm to the un.
ion cause than Mr.. Parry could ever
infiict long years of belligerent ac-
tivity. 1t might be blow from which
the labor organizations would never
recover. Therefore, let the men at the
head of these vast organizations see
to it that Mr.. Parry is protected be-
yond the possibility of murderom
attack. There is much at stake and
the chances for loss do not lie with
the classes, which Mr.. Parry repre-
sents.

The Early Temperance !.
Movement in Stark
WRITTEN BY JOHN DANNER.

| ing the saloons they would be ruined
This movement soon spread all over
the country. The first meetings held
in Canton were in the old court house
and many in Canton were rescued from
the drink habit and lived to old age
without again being overtaken with
drink.
| Most all the churches and the
preachers took hold of this work and
accomplished much good. Among the
men reclaimed in Canton were Seth
Golden, shoemaker who lived on
North Market street near where George
Double now resides, and Conner Swee-
ney, who lived on West Tuscarawas
street just east of the Y. M. c. A
building, and was halter by trade
Both these men signed the Washing
tonian pledge and lived sober, Chris.
tian lives the remainder of their days.
and were much respected. -p,,
In those early days we had no sa-
looms, the only places where intoxicat.
ing liquors were sold for beverage pur.
poses being at the bars of hotels. But
the introduction of breweries and the
making of beer very soon brought in
the saloons. The first brewery in Can
ton was the Nighman brewery, north
east corner Second and Market streets
Then there was one on East Tuscara-
was street beyond the East creek, and
the Summers brewery, about four
miles southwest of Canton. These were
the pioneers in the making of beer
and very soon thereafter the saloons
began to multiply, until now we have
about $50 Of them in Canton.
The proprietors Of most of these
early places of making and selling in
toxicating liquors were very nice men,
and were not addicted to using intox.
icating liquors in excess, but when
the temptation was placed before
others they fell, and as the greatest
good to the greatest number is the
prime object of all good government,
1t does seem that the only safe way
is not to open out places that prove the
destruction of SO many good citizens.
At the time first referred to in this
article, Canton was quite small to what
1t is today, and with the increase of
our population we should increase the
protection of our youths and put away
all that is harmful and useless, and
such are all places that are opened for
selling intoxicating liquors for bever-
age purposes.
Sixty years ago the excuse given
In winter for drinking was to keep
warm, and In the summer to keep
cool. Quite queer, indeed, that the
same thing should be taken to keep
cool that was taken to keep warm, but
such were the excuses and no better
one can be given today, therefore the
wise and safe way to do is not to use
intoxicating liquors as a beverage at
all. II is not only useless, but too
often quite harmful. The old adage
that was true then is true today: "A
poor excuse is better than none at ALL"
