PROUD DAY FOR OHIO.

Friday October 10 will ever be a
proud day in the history of the State
of Ohio. In future generations her
children will turn to that page in her
history with a feeling of deepest
gratitude, and call themselves Buol-
eyes with fervor that will command
respect from all sister states. Yes
terday the Standard Oil Company was
found guilty by jury of twelve men
at Findlay, Ohio on the charge of
conspiracy in the restraint of trade,
in violation of the Valentine anti
trust law. That the law is upheld
is not only a victory for a county
prosecutor, an attorney general and
an upright judge but it is victory
for the great mass of people, who
have right to demand that great
corporations shall receive the same
consideration, no more no less than
the common criminal. That great
corporations are the highest form of
".
But that these corporations are to be
treated other than by the square
deal policy, no fair minded man will
try to contend. Justice before the
law is all the great mass of people
ask for. Few want to see an indus
try or its owners, large or small, per-
secuted. But when these monopolies
so ignore the common rights of all
and seek to make the laws of the ma
ton. laughing stock and things to
be scorned at it is time to call halt.
Ohio has called halt and therefore
the country rejoices in her glorious
victory Such a decision as was given
yesterday at Findlay gives strength
to other prosecutors to enforce
the law as they see it. it gives the
people confidence in the judiciary and
it tends to make those punished less
brazen in their future acts.

The object of the Mission IN st.
Pauls church, beginning October IS,

AS TO A FAIR.

The willingness of the South Side
of 40 acres of the Beallview tract fol-
fair purposes, selling the same at q
nominal price, provided that an asso
citation that will be representative oil
the best interests of Wayne County
and the city of Richmond, shall be or
ganized, is worthy of serious consid
Grafton. There can be no denying the
fact that Richmond has been very
slow to appreciate the value of fair
In part this is due to the methods OF
some of the fair associations in the
past. But as a general proposition it
is due to the failure of many business
men to realize that it is better for
Richmond to be the mecca of thous-
ands of fair visitors once each year
than to be one of the few cities that
sends thousands of people out of town
in search of amusement of this sort.
1t might be stated again that 5000
Richmond people attended fairs this
fall. They all spent money The mer.
chants in Greenville, Eaton, Middle
town, New Castle and scores of other
towns are unanimous in their verdict
that a good fair, properly conducted
is source of much benefit to the mer-
camille trade. They appreciate what a
fair does for them and they no more
think of permitting their fair asso-
Citations to quit business than they
would to close up their own stores.
There really is chance now for
Richmond to get in line with other
cities. The one aim should be the or
will have for its one object the build
ing up of a permanent institution; one
that will be favored by the farming
classes as we'll as the people of Rich
mond. Fair associations that are
conducted with this object in view
seldom make money. They realize en-
ough to keep the project on its feet
year after year, and this is all. And
this is all that is needed. Every dollar
made should be expended in making
the fair greater and better. There
is need for some business man or set
of men to start the ball rolling. With
proper men at the head an associa-
ton can be formed quickly, stock
subscribed, a fair ground site pur-
chased and matters arranged so that
the first fair under new management
can be given next summer. Are there
any business men in Richmond who
will father the project?

disposed of by the Court Wednesday
This is the one of Willis Whipple VS.

Refuses to Accept Original
Agreement for Making
West End st. Viaduct.
WANTS ANOTHER MEETING
COMPANY CLAIMS THAT CHAN0s

BY COUNCIL TO WHIChfIT DID
NOT AGREE.

Because some changes were made
in the original agreement between the
City of Richmond and the Pennsylvas
MIA railroad Company, relative to the
West Second street viaduct, the rail-
road company has. through its local
attorney. declared It's purpose not to
accept. II is also announced that
the railroad company's representa-
tives desire another conference with
the city councils committee which
has been looking after the = viaduct
matter, with the object of making On.
other effort to "get together" What
ever may have been the cause for the
delay of the construction of the via
duct, West Side citizens have become
tired of the dilatory tactics of both
the city and the railroad company and
they are not slow in expressing their
dissatisfaction.
The letter which was written to ths
Board of Public Works in this regard
by John l.. Rupe, attorney for the
Pennsylvania railroad, stated that the
company's negligence in the matter
was due to the fact that some chang.
es had been made in the original con,
tract by Council, which the company
had not acquiesced TO. and that it had
therefore let the matter stand. The
letter went on to state that the COM
pany desired to look after the mat
er and would like to have a time set
for conference, which would be con.
venient to both parties. AS the mat.
tes was first preached under the old
board of works, the new board was
not acquainted with this phase of the
matter, and assign this as the reason
for their delay.

Birmingham, Ala, Oct 10. - Ten
men were burned to death, two seri-
ously and perhaps fatally injured, and
a third slightly hurt, as the result OF
a fire which destroyed the boarding
house of Mrs. E. Z. Watley at an early
hour
The dead: W. N Nichols, streetcar
conductor; D. 3. Neel, streetcar con-
ductor; w. B. Taylor, streetcar motor
man; G. c. Preston, conductor; Ed

shaw, conductor; Gordon D. Burns,
motorman: William T. Hall, conduc-

man; Ollie H. Hines, employee of Bir-
mingham Paint and Glass company.
The seriously injured: c. e. Hentch.
streetcar conductor; G. W. Troutman,
motorman; c. E. Keith, street railway
employee.
There were 81 boarders in the
house, almost all of whom were street
railway employees. In addition there
were three other persons, Mrs. Wat
ley and her two sons. All have been
accounted for.
All the dead and injured occupied
rooms on the second story OF the
house The flames enveloped the en-
tire building when the fire was dis
covered, and it was with the greatest
difficulty that the persons on the
lower floor made their escape. They
saved nothing Every piece of furni-
ture in the house was burned.
The fire is thought to have been OF
incendiary origin Burglars have been
detected on the premises twice within
the last two months and Mrs. Watley
thinks the house was burglarfzed and
then set on fire. Thieves were discov-
cred at work during the progress OF
the flames and the police were called
to keep guard. The 10 charred bodies
are at the rnorgue. where 1t is impos-
sible to tell one from the other. The

LANDED ANOTHER PLANT
New Castle Claims to Have Picked
Up Factory Which Richmond
Thought Was Its Own.

The New Castle Courier OF yester-
day said:
New Castle has landed another
Richmond concern and the machinery
is being moved here and will be set
up in the building formerly occupied
by the New Castle Paper Box factory
in the west part of town. The COM
pany is called the New Castle Elec-
trio Sign company and was formerly
the Richmond Electric Sign Co.
The new concern has a capitalize
ton of $4,000, and the incorporators
are J. NJ. Dennis and w. II. Afford
of Richmond and Harry Bolser of this
city. The plans of the new company
are not entirely formulated, but 1t is
believed that the new factory will
prove a very valuable addition to
New Castles industries.

by both Republican and Democratic
members who having been sent to
congress as the instruments of the

the real point was that Presidel-t
Roosevelt was stronger than the cor
porations and forced those Republi-
can members in the pay of the spec

the Democrats did not aid him. On
the contrary they did all in their pow
er to dim the luster of the things he
achieved.
For instance Senator Bailey's loud
declarations of treachery when the
rate bill was passed. Senator Bailey
is a Democrat-one of the Democrats
that they were supporting the doc
trines of Mr.. Roosevelt-yet all the
time he was trying to add clauses to
the rate bill that would make it al
most impossible to get enough har-
mony to pass it. And now we see the
reason why. Down in Texas, Senator
Bailey'S own state, they are roundly
him as the paid agent of
the Standard Oil trust. So it is quite
evident how much he was in harmony
with President Roosevelt's efforts for
reform. And now the Democratic or
gans would have us believe that Pres
ident Roosevelt's only hope of continu-
ing his work of reform will be through
the instrumentality of a Democratic
House. With a presidential election
only two years off it is likely that the
House would help Mr..
Roosevelt pass popular measures

why? Because resident Roosevelt
