BY John Danner.

Fifty years ago the FreesOilers and
Abolitionists were often told that
their hopes of ultip!ately abolishing
slavery in the United States were in
vain, and to vote for any other politi-
cal party than the WhiS party or the
Democratic party was throwing votes
away" But the fanatics" as these
people were often called, kept on vot-
ing against the old pro-slavery par
ties of those days, until the Whig
party was compelled to reorganize and
take the name Of Republican party,
and cause their battle cry to be against
the farther extension of slavery.
The result OF this movement was
that many Of the old Wing party went
over to the Democratic parity and
lmultitudes of the old Democratic
party forsook said party and came into
the newly organized Republican party;
and while they did not elect their
presidential candidate In 1856. as they
had hoped TO do, they were greatly en-
couYaged to press forward, aud In 1860
this newly organized Republican party
became more and more firm In the de-

The victories of the Japanese are not
decisive. The battles SO far fought will
have little weight upon the final result.
Russia Is one of the most powerful ma
tions on the earth. She has a mighty
navy and can pile men into Manchuria
for years to come. II the Japs win. 1t
will be a modern miracle. Many per-
sons, enthused over the first victories,
are looking for an easy conquest for
the little nation. The early successes
have had a good effect upon the NOR
ais of the japanese army. Great en-
thusiams is felt. Should Japan destroy
the navy of her rival, she would be
safe from invasion and even then
might be driven out OF Manchuria and
Korea unless China interferes. 1t may
be long war. 1t is sure to be q
bloody one.

Pollock, Welker, Holes. Attention

Repres entative Hill. of Calumbiana
county has introduced a bill in the leg
islature that should be passed without
opposition. 1t is for the public good
as against a great corporation. The bill
aims to. regulate gas companies and
protect the consumer from fraud in me-
ters and in the quality of gas furnish
ed
The bill provides that meters must
be tested by a meter-prover Of pat
tern that is tested by the state sealer
of weights and measures. That these
meters must all be tested when put in
and II at any time thereafter the con-
sumer thinks that his meter is not
right he is to have 1t tested by the gas
company If it is right, he pays a
small sum for the inspection. II 1t Is
not registering properly, the company
Is to make no charge.
A section that would suggest itself to
Centon is that councils may appoint
inspectors who can do the testing, not
only of the meters but also of the
quality of the gas furnished. 1t is test
ed by the number of heat units, and it
Is said that in cold weather, when
most gas is used, the heating power of
the natural gas Is least, owing to the
action of the cold. The meters are
to be regulated SO that tie price is to
be shown upon the meter as well as
the number of cubic feet consumed.
The purity of the gas consumed is
also to be taken into consideration in
fixing the price.
Heretofore in Ohio the companies
that have been furnishing natural gas
have not been restricted in any way
end they could make any demands that
/ they wished from the people. In Can.
ton there has been great deal of com.
plant this winter over the gas bills
and the quality of the gas furnished
AS is always the case, many persons
claimed their meters were wrong, al
there seemed to be great discrepancie:
between the bills of persons who appar'
ent.y were burning about the same
amount of gas.
There was no resource. There coult
be no inspection except that which
the company cared to make. All thu
meters may be correct. or approx
mately so; but the people do not Know
it and cannot be made to believe so
Coal dealers are controlled by tn

for not doing so. The scales are test
ed by sealers Of weights and measure
according to standard fixed by stat
law. Dealers in all kinds of foo
istuffs are regulated by inspectors
Then why not the gas companies ?
Stark county representatives shoul
not only vote for this bill but work 70

tics that are not interested that tn
measure may fall for lack of interest

The people of Canton are studying
the geography Of Japan, Korea, Man
churia and surrounding sections. The
great, bleak, desert place of Siberia
lies almost all around Manchuria,
which is sparsely settled. Could Rus
sia secure Manchnria and Korea she
could have several good harbors that
would not freeze UP in the winter sea-
son and would be so close to Japan
and China that she would have both at
her mercy. II is not much wonder that
China is anxious to help resist the
northern invader.
