1.-THE Prohibition ticket TO withdraw.
IThey said'openly it was scheme 81
theirs, that they had sent a young
man out with a paper. for the Prohi.
lbition candidates to sign, agreeing
to withdraw in favor Of Harmer and
his ticket and that they said that the
paper had not come back. They
were bigoted enough to censure the
Prohibition ticket for not falling in
to their scheme and helping them
Iout at the expense of the Prohibi-
Ition principle.
It was gratifying to me and many
more, in fact, all fair-minded men,
that the Prohibition candidates de-
linanded to be heard in the Harmer
meeting and they certainly did put
a quietus, on the movement to force
them off tl,ier own ticket. They
showed themselves to be men OF
principle. In the words of Mr.
Donabue the Prohibitionists know it
to be but a scheme and they won't
stand for it. The Harmer crowd was
plainly told that the Prohibition
ticket eouldnot be withdrawnby any
one and it might as well be thor
|oughly' understood.
Son behalf of the Proliibitionists
of Clarksburg, (" said Mr.. Donahue,
"and in the name of common sense,
[ protest against this outrage
These words came to the Harmer
people like thunder bolt, and / am
certainly glad they were spoken in
Ia public meeting, where all could
understand our position.
What amnses me is that Harmer,
late a Prohibition candidate for
State Senator: and the other alleged
|reformers would want men 10 sacri-
lfce principle in order that he and
IBIS crowd might get into power.
What u condemn most is that there
should be even one or two preach-
lels present mt the meeting encouragz
i iingthe effort 20 sacrifice Prohibition
principles for a political scheme.

committee of the Harrison County
Add Fellows association met in the
Iofiice of Rhodes & Rhodes and ten
lout Of the fourteen lodges Of the
county were represented. The
COMMITTEES were appointed to Nuke
arrangements for the annual reunion
to e held at Clbarksburg, on the 14th
| day of July. After considerable
discussion the committee deemed it
advisable to incorporate into one
body the Odd Fellows of the county,
and to apply for a county charter so
that stronger and closer organiza-
ltion could be effected. The COM
Imittee was appointed to draw mp the
charter papers and also to formu-
llate bylaws for the society.
Preparations have already begun
Iby the committee appointed to look
IafterS the annuol reunion, and there
lis little doubtshut what thousands of
odd Fellows will be attracted to this
lcitspn July ii. Each member
present wa syery enthusiastic as to
| ItliSsplans that we're adopted rela-
t6ysto the entire reunion and or
Issnisation, and each believed that
every slodge in the county would join
heartily with the committee in pre-
pairing for the greatest reunion of
Odd Fellows that has ever taken
IplaceSin the State.
sstTba final meteing Of the commit
tee before the runion day, has been
called for the 9Th day of May when
fthe charter will be properly exexcut-
ed and bylaws approved, and the
last arrangements for the celebration
made and at which meeting no doubt
every lodge will be represented.
it is hoped that the citizens Of
glafksburg will assist in making
preparations for this great reunion
Of Odd Fellows.

NOTHING
IN The
CHARGES
Communicated. u

The Honorable D. W. McGeoree
favored the general public few
days. ago with an s'idea'i he had
about the gas franchise granted bs
1.-THE city council last summer. Mr.,
McGeorge, it is noted, is being sup
ported by the News for council, and
that paper is very fayorably Impress
led with what he says on the franz
Irhise subject, or at least il says 50.
Now, if we remember correctly
land there is no doubt about it the
council in granting the franchise
did exactly what the News so earn
,estly advocated be done. 1T spent
much effort and gave much space,
,eontending that the franchise should
not be given away but that the APP
|phcant should be- required to pas
for the privilege. When the ii.nc
came to grant the franchise the cotIn.
|cit incorporated in it a clause re-
'quiring the payment to the city of
S2, 500 d year, and further requiring
free gas for the use Of the city at
its various Institutions, ETC., making
IN the total a. yearly tax upon the
proposed gas COMPANY, amounting TO
within the neighborhood Of SIS, 900.
or perhaps more.
Because the council did exactly
what the Democratic paper asled tol
be done, Mr.. McGeorge now undcr-
takes TO intimate that it was done
merely to protect the established
company, and he thus makes an inn
piled charge against mis- own party
that il protected the one gas COM
pany by discriminating against the,
proposed other, but instead OF corr
ing out Ikea man and accusing the
News. he dodges the question and
makes an sunderhanded and wholly
unfoiinded charge against the coun-
ell. 9
The article emphasized his CON
defnnation of his own party organ
and it also led to the further reycla-
tion that that paper and the niensit
is supporting for office are ali vide
divergence on the policy to be pur9
shed should that crowd get into
pffwer.
Summing it all up, there would,
indeed he confusion of tongues
and conditions would soon be 50
chaotic that none would be able TO
tell heads from tails.
The people Of Clarksburg are ems
tirelE too intelligent to suffer that
10 come about, and Mr.. McGeorge
and Others of his ilk but iniure their
own, cause, when they make. such
ridiculous breaks through a news
paper. Such stuff might do TO be.

A telegram received late last night
from President Richard r. Guy, Of
the P. O. N. League, to Vice Presi-
dent Thomas Raymond, Of the local
organization, stated that if Fairmont
and Clarksburg weald agree to come
into the league with a team repre-
senting both towns Jointly, the prop
osition would be accepted. Mr.. Hay
rMond Immediately sent word that he
could give no definite answer last
night but would take the matter up
with Clarksburg to-day! and give a
final word this evening.
The withdrawal Of Uniontown

Indianapolis, Ind, March 30
Without agreement on wage
scale the conference Of bitaminous
coal operators and miners of the
central competitive district alouirn-
ed sine die yesterday, leaving affairs
in such d condition that a strike of
ss5,o0o men seems probable at the
expiration Of the present scale on
Saturday, March 81. The disagree
ment came after desperate struggle
lasting ten days, and disrupts the in
terstate agreement which has; exist
cd since 1898 between operators and
miners, though wage scales and 9th
er differences have been adjusted.
The final'yote in theconference Of
the central competitive field, on
which the other districts based their
settlements, was on motion offered
by president Mitchell, of the United
Mine Workers, to restore for two
years the wage scale of 1908, which
Eould have been an increase in wages
Of 5.55 per cent. The operators Of
Illinois and 1ndiania voted against
the proposal and defeated it. The
disruption Of the conference follow
de. Operators of Western Pennsyl-
yania and the miners Of four states
voted for the proposal.
Following adjournment National
Secretary w. B. Wilson, of the Mine
Workers. said:
ssThere isnb Likelihood Of any
thing further being done towards a
settlement. This means suspension
of work. The convention of miners
Will meet tomorrow morning. The
principal business will be to deter
mine d general policy. The ques-
iion especially to be considered is
whether the organization win per-
init miners to work in districts and

ded is redueed.9
Il. L.. Robbins and other operators

and continue work in their mines,

vention Of miners today will de-
eide whether to permit this or to de-
mand that all miners suspend work

ADJUSTMENTS TO-DAY.
A SPLENDID NOMINATION.

The nomination of Judge H. P. Hend-
erson to succeed himself as a member
of the board of education from the
fifth municipal ward was a splendid
one. The patrons of the Salt Lake pub
lie schools are very fortunate indeed
in being able to secure a man of Judge
Hehderson's high character and ability
TO serve them in this responsible posi-
ton. s1tsis not often that men OF Judge
Henderson's type feel that they can
make the personal sacrifices necessary
to the acceptance of a public trust.
That he is willing TO do so is a cause
for general congratulation.
If all the members of the board of edu-
cation were such sterling citizens as
Judge H. P. Henderson there would be
no occasion for alarm over the future
of the schools. He is in the work be-
cause he loves il, because he believes
he can be of service to the people, and
not because he has any personal ends
TO serve. He has been of service and
he will continue TO be. There should
not be a vote against him in the fifth
ward.

MAYOR scHMlTz.

Mayor Eugene SchmitZ of San Fran
cisco has been indicted. He is charged
with extorting money from keepers
of disorderly houses, using his official
position for that purpose. The accusa-
ton is a very grave one. There must
have been some evidence before the
grand jury TO support it or an indict-
1t is not however, of the guilt or in
nocence of Schmitz that we propose to
speak. He may be innocent. he may be
guilty
The great pity is that a man that
could rise to an emergency as he rose
to one in San Francisco
last April could even be accused OF
crime. Schmitz was equal to the oc-
casiOn. When the earthquake and the
fire destroyed San Francisco he was
one of a few men that kept their wits
about them, thought clearly and INTEL
ligently and promptly devised ways and
means for bringing order out of the
frightful chaos that ruled the stricken
city.
The governor, Pardee, man against
whom no charge of dishonesty has ever
been brought, showed himself weak
ling. Schmitz was cool, ready, re-
sourceful. He worked night and day,
and always with intelligence and good
last April could even be accused of
Sehmitz, the fact that he was fully
equal to the occasion, was a topic of
conversation before the flames had died
away. There was talk of nominating him
for governor and electing him by &C.
clamation.
Schmitz's bitterest political enemy,
former Mayor Phelan, was one of the
first to accord him a measure of praise,
and others who had fought him on oc-
casion and on no occasion promptly
joined in the chorus. DR.. Devine, chair
man of the Red Cross relief committee,
expressed the other day a belief in
Schmitz's honesty. The doctor declared
he was certain that, as far as the re-
lief funds were concerned, not a dis
honest penny found its way into the
pockets of the mayor.
So, in a case like this it as we'll to
reserve judgment. Schmitz is entitled
TO the benefit of the doubt. At least
he must be proven guilty before he can
be punished, though it is greatly to
be hoped that, if his guilt is shown be-
yond reasonable doubt, he will be suf-
ficiently punished.
