A Sympathetic Reaction.

Last Saturday Morn,
By the regular mail,
From the western slope,
By the G. & E. rail,
Came THE LEADER
To give the general news
OF the country around US
To read, if we choose.
l went to the Office
My LEADER to get
And on an old nail keg
l calmly did set.
took up my paper
The same to peruse
And found q long poem
That just beat the Jews.
What a wonderful story
saw at that time
Almost a whole column
All written in rhyme;
About Joe Wilson's COW,
Old Cherry, by name,
Whose thrilling exploit
Had brought her great fame.
The poem was splendid
And right to the point,
But Harry declared
Its feet out of joint.
Joe Wilson did laugh
Till we thought he'd expire,
But Harry he shouted,
THAT poets a liarp'
"The rope it did break,
And l fell kerfiap,
But l didn't land in
Miss Anderson's lap"
Sand l didn't sneak off
And go right to bed;
/ simply went home
And bandaged my head"
HE made ii appear
That l set there and cried;
And if l can find him,
I'll make rope of his hide"
Well, Cnerryis happy
And so is her boss;
Joe wouldn't exchange her
For any mans boss.

THE ULTIMATE RIGHT.

One of the most significant features of the present
fuel situation has been presented view through two
incidents which have occurred in the vicinity of Chicago
In these towns the citizens out and headed by
their representative men, seized supplies of coal resting

to pay the cost of the coal estimated prices
The coal weighed distributed the several citizens
according to their respective needs and the price of each
delivery collected.
These two communities suffering from total
lack of coal In of them the precaution taken

appropriation of the coal necessary to the public

1t is not likely that any legal responsibility will be
sought to be fastened those who thus appropriated

human conduct which recognized in all constitutional
moral and religious systems. They were 1aw-abding
acting within their rights The crime if any there
committed, would probably be found rest on the
cOnscences of those who were withholding that coal
from needed public for their own selfish and extor
tionate ends
The seizure of the coal in the two communities men
toned is not to be taken any expression of lawess

Latter Insists Upon Conference Before
Agreeing to Any Compromise.

The board Of water commissioners

trOIyS1S to the water mains.

terday. THAT doesn't necessarily mean
that we will repel any reasonable offer
Of a settlement. but it does mean that
any system of return decided upon for
the company's electric current must be
thorough. We have gone too far in
this matter to lay down at this date"
The board held a meeting Tuesday,
and considered the proposition made
by the street car company regarding
a settlement, but nothing was done
beyond discussing it's merits. The COM
pany was notified that the board was
agreeable to a conference, and it is
expected that one will be held next
week. The cOmpany'S scheme of q re-
turn system for the electric current
was not quite clear, and the board de-
sires to be thoroughly enlightened be-
fore it will even consider a settlement

while he is agreeable to anything just
as good, yet he thinks the company

TRYING TO PURIFY
DELAWARE POLITICS
Democrats Propose Alliance With Anti.
Addicks Republicans.

DOVER, Del, Jan. 14-The twenty-onG
Democratic members of the Delaware leg
islature today held conference and issued
this statement:
ITO the People Of Delaware: The I'M
dersigned Democratic members of the
general assembly deem it proper and lust
to announce the position they have as
sumed in this political crisis. We are
determined, if possible, to prevent the
further corruption of elections in thix
state, and to that end demand that if
any Republicans in the legislature are de-
S1rouS of cooperating with US they shall
pledge themselves to join US unqualifiedly
in every effort having for it's object the
repeal of that diabolical and monstrous
Instrument of corruption, the voters as
sistant law.
'This we regard as the greatest object
to which our efforts can be directed and
we desire no political association with any
man or organization not in accord with
this object. The cooperation Of two Re
publtcanS in the senate and four Repub-
HcanS in the house will enable us to re-
peal this infamous law, and should the
governor veto such repeal means may be
found to compel his acquiescence
With respect to the election of United
States senators we hereby declare that if
six Republicans will join with the twenty
one Democrats we will elect any Repub-
Hcan who has shown himself opposed To
Add1ckS1Sm; such six may select a senator
for the long term of four years, if they
shall select for the shorter term Of two
years, provided such six Republicans shall
do this not later than on the first i0int
ballot for senators, Jan. 81"
The statement asserts that the obiect-oP
the Democrats in making the announce
place the blame for corrupt politics wher@
it belongs.

The press reports announcing the change in the ad-

former Secretary of State Day to the supreme court

Gov. Taft is entitled all the credit which be1onos
to the refusal to relnqush post which he believes
there IS positive demand for his services in favor of
higher and more honorable position which might endure
tor lite But the question naturally suggests itself to the
ordinary mind What is the demand for the presence of
Gov TAFT which calls for such personal and official
rifce his part?
