President Mitchell, OF the United
Mine Workers, has advised the miners
to make demand for 25 per cent
advance in the price of mining coal.
This will doubtless bring about
strIkes all over the country or compel
the operators to advance the price OF
coal to the consumers. The public
would be hetter satisfied II it thought
the miners were getting any part of
the advances made within the last
year, but 1t all goes into the pockets Of
the trust. 81

MASSILLON LIKELY
TO LOSE HOSPITAL
Citizens Slow in Coming For
ward With Donations--Pro-
ject May Fall Through.

From present indications Massillon
will have no city hospital, says the
Independent. The efforts OF citizens
and physicians. seem to have been
diminished. until the idea has been
practically abandoned. Lack OF the
proper enthusiasm on the part Of
prospective donors seems to have 50
discouraged the committee that no .ef-
fort has been made during the past
two weeks to increase the subscrip-
tions
Thus far only $2,10O has been sub
scribed. including the gift of Anthony
Howells of $1,000. Most of the re-
mainder of this sum has been received
in small sums. .Twenty-one hundred
dollars is only small portion OF the
amount required.
The general expression of citizens
seems to be that OF regret that the
matter was ever taken out of the
hands of the Massillon lodge OF Elks.
This organization had advaced the
project further than the citizens have
thus Tar been able to do, and would
undoubtedly have carried 1t to sue
cess.

The independents Of Panama.

The state Of Panama would have
everything to gain by secession from
Colombia and independence of the
usurping Bogota government, headed
by DR.. Marroquin. Panama derives no
benefit whatever from its connection
with the Colombia confederation. II
cannot even rely on confederation Of
ficials for the maintenance of order in
connection with Isthmus transporta-
ton. For that indispensable service
it has depended on the United States
for upward of half century. From
the date of its emancipation from
Spanish rule It has been oppressed and
plnndered by the Bogota authorities.
Were Panama an independent republic
the proceeds OF all the taxes now lev
led for the benefit of remote central
government would be expended at
home. immigration and the inflow of
foreign capital would be immensely
stimulated by the. knowledge that the
reign Of corrupt officials deputed to
Panama from Bogota was over.--New
York Times. ~

ONE PHASE OF THE
SERVANT QUESTION

The News-Democrat, few issues
since, took occasion to refer editoriially
70 the great stringency which exists IN
the hired-girl market in Canton, with
out attempting to suggest any meth.
ods of relief That the same condi-
tion of affairs prevails in Massillon ia
indicated by the following from the
Independent of that city:
A friend of The Independent wants
to know II it wouldn't be proper for
the newspapers to take up q protest
against a certain phase of "the hired
girl problem" which involves the Of
fering. by one housekeeper of higher
wages to the cook, housemaid or nurse
of another housekeeper in order to sc
cure their services. Here is case:
Mrs. Brown engages a mald-of-all-
work, She pays 81 per week and, at
infinite pains, teaches her TO be an in
valuable helper in the household. Mrs.
Green, next door, notes the capable
way in which Mrs. Browns maid
scrubs the front porch, observes the
whiteness of the garments on the
clothes line in the yard, watches one
day until she sees Mrs. Brown leave
her home, goes to the back door and
offers Mary Jane 81 TO come to her

unusual loyalty Of heart. goes. Mrs
Green enjoys the advantage Of all Mary
James previous training. Wasn't it a
mean trick you say, land did Mrs
Green do as she would be done by?"
This is the whole thing in a nutshell.

The Cost of Negligence.

requires nothing less than hol-
ocaust tc bring municipal authorities
to consideration of fire protection. The
fatal confiagration in Cleveland yes
terday, in which two women were
burned beyond recognition, has had the
effect Of starting fire-escape crusade.
The crusade will last about as long as
II takes to bury the unfortunate vic
tins; then it will die, to be revived
when the next lives are sacrificed upon
this altar OF criminal negligence.
Cleveland is not the only city that
needs crusade of this kind. Here's
our own town for instance. There are
many buildings in Canton, which are
fire-traps of the worst character The
fire-chief has ordered many landlords
to build fre-escapes, but they have
procrastinated the matter until the
original order has been forgotten
There is a strict law regulating this
matter and this law should be enforced.
]f Mr.. Mesnar does not propose to en-
force it, someone else should. In Or
der to save a few dollars owners OF
apartment and other buildings are
permitted to keep the lives of their
tenants in jeopardy and the authori-
ties sit supinely by and close their
eyes to the evasion of the law.
Some of these days Canton will get
a waking up. There will be fire such
as was in Cleveland yesterday and
human lives will pay the forfeit Of
present negligence. Then, when it is
too late, we will start a crusade for
fire-protected buildings and the men
who are to blame will be hauled over
the Goals until the graves are closed
and the incident forgotten.

Some objectionable and never
kicked Joker sent to the
postmaster of Wilkesbarre a letter
which purported to be written by a
woman in Southington, o. The writer
described herself as fair, the owner
Of a farm and wanting q husband
Now that women writes to the post
master that she never sent the first
letter; that she is no longer fair; has
no farm; has big family and trouble
in supporting it. She says that the
spurious letter has brought her more
than 500 offers Of marriage. How
easily and on how little knowledge peo-
pie propose! observes the New York
Sun. See what a multitude of women
are eager or pretend to be eager to
marry the governor of Kansas, Bailey
the beautiful. Here are 500 men will
ing to marry a woman on the strength
Of her supposed description of herself.
A dark thought rises to the mind. Was
II the supposed farm that was the bait
nibbled at so harshly by the 500?
Would a woman, however fair; get 800
proposals IL she advertised for a hus-
hand but neglected to mention her e.
nancial condition?-Salem Daily News.

Mayor Doyle, Of Akron, is kicking
because the council in arranging the
salaries under the code, placed that of
mayor at $500. In Canton it is $1,000
with fees. Doyle does not insist that
the money is not sufficient for the
work done, but he insists that
he should have 4 thousand or SO eX-
ira because of the dangers of the po
sition. He says that he is constantly
receiving letters from toughs whom no
is compelled to punish, in which are
threats to take his life, and in a num-
Der of instances the writer's fix the
day and hour in which he is to be
killed. While this is very Kind on
the part of the writers, as it gives the
mayer an opportunity to be shriven,
he thinks he ought to have an extra
allowance to pay the priest and to re-
mnnerate himself for the mental anx-
lety he suffers.

Those who fancy that the trust is
peculiarly an American institution, the
mushroom product of prosperity, may
be comforted to know that Germany
has more than four hundred we'll
developed trusts, and that at last ac-
counts they were multiplying rapidly.
The greatest number of them in any
one industry have been formed in the
several branches of chemical manufac-

trical industries and It is announced
that these are about to be united in
the Central European Electrical trust,
which is to control everything wortb

from the wide difference between what

that there is something wrong in the
