In G. A. R. Hall They Bitterly Denounce the
Trick That Beat Pension Bill.
WORK AS UNIT AT POLLS.

Don't waste particle Of am.
munition; wait until you have the
enemy dead to rights. then shoot
your ballots straight and true next
election day and force John O..
Sheatz to an ignominous retreat in
his efforts to capture the Republi-
can State Treasurership. Knock
him out so that the scheming mas
ters of the Republican State Ma
chine cannot continue robbing the
taxpayers any more and deprive
the old soldiers of needed aid"
This was the pith of the senti-
ment expressed at an enthusiastic
meeting of the War Veterans Po-
litical Association of this part Of the
State, held in the lodge room of
Lincoln Post, No. 14o, Grand Ar
my of the Republic at Shamokin,
Friday night.
Ninety-hve per cent. of the audi
ence were Republicans, comprising
members of the Grand Army, SOL
diers not affiliated with the organi
cation, sailors and marines, Sons of
Veterans and fair-sized scattering
of the wives of old soldiers, the
women also exhibiting enthusiasm
in the effort to create a sentiment
among all veterans in the State to
chastise the dictatorial and tricky
Republican Machine.
When President John d. Harris,
former commander of Lincoln Post,
called the audience to order he was
greeted with applause, as were NJ.

former past commanders of the post
and prominent i'll the organization

State, few days ago communicat-
ed with comrades of the war

WANING HARDWOOD SUPPLY.

Although the demand for hard
wood lumber is greater than ever
before, the annual cut today is a
billion feet less than it was seven
years ago. In this time the whole
sale price of the different classes of
hardwood lumber have advanced
from twenty-five to sixty-hve per
cent. Yellow poplar, which was
formerly second in point of output,
has fallen off thirty-six per cent.
and elm has fallen off one half. The
cut of the soft woods is four times
that of the hard woods, yet it is
doubtful if a shortage in the form
er would cause dismay in so many
industries. The cooperage, furni-
ture and vehicle industries depend
upon hardwood timber, and the
railroads, telephone and telegraph
companies, agricultural implement
manufacturers, and builders use it
extensively. The hardwood cut in
Ohio and Indiana, which seven
years ago, led all other states, has
fallen off one half. Illinois, Iowa,
Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota,
Missouri, New Jersey, Tennessee,
Texas, West Virginia and Wiscon-
sin have also declined in hardwood
production. The chief centres of
production now lie in the lake
states, the lower Mississippi valley
and the Appalachian mountains.
Twenty billion feet of hardwoods
would be conservative estimate of
annual productive capacity of the
5000, 900 acres of forest lands in
the Appalachians if they were
rightly managed. Until they are
we can expect shortage in hard
wood lumber.-Ex.

LABOR WARS.
Both Employer and Employee Have Lost
Millions by Labor 0isasreemenis.

The Department of Labor at
Washington has collated, and will
soon publish some very interesting
data i'll regard to the causes and
cost OF strikes and lockouts in the
United States for the past twenty
five years. Short of actual war
there has never been devised a more
costly, unsatisfactory and material
ly disastrous method of settling
economic disputes. For the twenty
years between 1881 aud 1900, in
elusive, the loss to employees
through strikes amounted to S257,-
S63,47S. The loss to workers
through lockouts in the same peri
cd was S4S,SI9,745, or a total loss
to employees through industrial
disturbances of $500, ,6S3, 2,3. The
number of establishments involved
i'll strikes was III, 500, making an
average loss to employees in each
establishment in which strikes oc-
CURED of S2,I94. These strikes
threw out of employment 6, io5 6e4
wage earners, making an average !
loss of S42 to each. There were
o,e33 lockouts in the twenty years;
the average loss to each employer, !
$4,9G5; the number of employees
dismissed, 5o4, 3o7, making an av-
erage loss of So7 to each wage earn
er. 1t is estimated that the loss to
employers through strikes in the
same time amounted to Sf22,73I,-
1871, and through lockouts, SGo,-
o27,9S3, making total cost to en-
ployers of SI47, 7,659, 1904. The
above monstrous figures only cover
the money loss of the combatants
employers and employees. No
attempt has ever been made to COM
pute the extent of loss inflicted up
on the mass of men and women not
directly engaged in labor disputes,
for which there is no recovery.
But the interruption of output in
important industries and incident
disturbance of values have no doubt
proved of as great cost to the pub
lie as that borne by the actual par
ticipants.

AN ENCOURAGING PROSPECT.

An activity and spirit prevail at
Democratic headquarters in Phila-
delphia such as has not attended
its operations in many year. The
number of leading Democrats from
all parts of the State who are call
ing at headquarters and manifest
ing the liveliest interest in the pro-
gress of the campaign is unprece-
dented, indicating that the Demo-
cratic party. not to speak of Inde-
pendents, is being solidly arrayed
in favor of the election of John G.
Harman as State Treasurer. Prom
inent Democrats who have not been
openly active in State campaigns
since the last Presidential election
are now either writing encouraging
letters to headquarters or making
their appearance there for the pur-
pose of promoting Mr.. Harman' S
candidacy.

The Two John Oscar Sheatzes.

In the past Tie Recoyd has not
hesitated to approve every patriotic
and proper act of independence on
the part of Candidate John Oscar
Sheatz in his capacity as legisla
tor and as a man. 1t takes nothing
back. But when Mr.. Sheatz ap
pears before the people as candi-
date for an important State office it
becomes the duty of an independ-
ent newspaper to smore carefully
scrutinize his record and make due
comparison of his capacity for Use
ful public service with that of other
candidates for the same position.
So considered, it is not to the cred
it of Mr.. Sheatz that he has been
willing to accept candidacy at the
hands of an Organization so utterly
condemned as the Republican Or
ganization in Pennsylvania. HIS
sole prestige as n public man has
been gained by his several instances
Of manly opposition to gang meas
ures. The serious objection against
him lies not in the fact that he was
sometimes independent, but in the
fact that he was not always indie
pendent. He voted for some of the
gangs vilest schemes.
Mr.. Sheath cannot complain Of
criticism based on his record. He
cannot complain of the unlavorable
showing when his public record is
weighed in the balanre against that
Of John G. Harman, his Democratic
competitor. The gang leaders do
not love Mr.. Sheath for the decent
things he has done, but they are
smart enough to value decency as
a political asset, and they are trying
to make use of it to get their fin
gers back in the State Treasury
and keep the surplus where it will
do the most good and get Boies
Penrose back in the Senate for an
other term.
Mr.. Sheath is now an independ-
ent decoy. He is negligible guam
tity. 1t is mis- hackers whom the
people desire to rebuke.

Playing With Fire.

The notion is spreading that the
feet is going to the Pacific for any
but peaceful purposes, and that the
statement that the trip is only for
practice is a mere pretense. Some
people will naturally think that the
administration has inside informa-
ton, and that japanese attack
upon the Philippines is nearer than
we common people know. Others
will see in the movement an exhi-
bitiou of the presidents talent for
forcing an issue. All who know
Mr.. Roosevelt will recall his fire.
quent assurance, usually made in
conversation with diplomats, that
foreign nations realize that he is
friend of peace because he is ready
to fight for it. In view of the senti-
ment which he represented and
illustrated by the article in the
Times, the proposed expedition
assumes wicked proportions. 1t is
a distinct menace to peace, the pre-
servation of which may come to de-
pend upon the honorable intentions
of the japanese government, which
doubtless knows that the American
people are not in favor of war with
any other power ; and that most
Americans who agree with or who
are convinced by the writer in the
Times regard the whole affair with
dissatisfaction, if not with appre-
hension. In the mean time it
would be we'll for the American
people, if any power of indignant
protest remains to them, to assert
themselves, and to refuse to be led
into a war, or into the appearance
of expecting ar.--Ha,pe,'s WeekLy.

Sheath Lacked Moral Courage.

According to the testimony of
Philadelphia MOrH Ame,itan
representative Sheath left Phila-
delphia on March 10th, 1903, fully
determined to vote against the Sus-
quehanna canal bill, which passed
the House finally on March 18TH.
The esteemed North american says:
1T should be stated further that
Mr.. Sheath took special pains to
vote right on the Susquehanna
snake. While in Philadelphia the
day before the bill came up he in
quired of the North american when
it was to be called. Upon learning
that the vote would be taken on
the following day, he Cancelled an
important business engagement,
and went to Harrisburg specially to
do his duty and vote against the
measure"
But when he reached Harrisburg
he came under the influence Of In.
surance Commissioner Durham and
the other machine managers and
VOTED FOR THE BILL. No
doubt when he left Philadelphia he
intended to vote against it. On
March nth when it was defeated
he did vote against it which would
indicate that he was aware of its
vicious character. But the power
of the machine was too great for
him to resist. He hadn't the moral
courage to say "get thee behind me
Satan" He lacked that quality of
probity which opposes wrong under
all circumstances. The force of the
machine overwhelmed him. He
yielded and then by acquiescence in
an error made the false pretense of
a courage that he didn't possess.
Yet some of the bogus reformers
in the State say now that if Sheath
is elected State Treasurer he will
be able to resist the machine in
matters of infinitely greater con-
sequence to the managers of that
"criminal conspiracy" than the
Susquehanna canal bill. They pre-
tend to think that he would stand
as Mr.. Berry has stood against graft
Notwithstanding the vast interests
of the machine in manipulating the
treasury and public contracts.
Nothing could be more absurd. He
would do precisely as he did in
March, 1908. That is he would
serve the machine in the treasury
as he did in the Legislature and his
election will restore the system as
certain as day follows night t,-BeAe-

The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1907-10-24

The prospects are Frightening
every day, and the enemy is alarm
ed. Harman and Berry are enthu-
siastically greeted by immense
crowds wherever they go, and the
tide has set in favor of a State
Treasurer who cannot be influenced
or coerced by the Penrose and Nc.
Nichol machine. If Harman is de-
feated it will be the fault of apa-
thetic Democrats who have not pa.
triotism enough to vote, and of
cowardly Independents who want
to break away from the party lash,
but have not the courage to do so.
There are enough Democrats and
independent citizens in the State to
elect Harman, if they will but do
their duty.

Find a New Defective Law.
Dauphln Officials Will Test the Ac. 10 Hire
Defense.

The Dauphin County Commis-
sioners have instituted proceedings
in Court to determine the constitu-
tionality of the act of the last Leg
islature providing for the payment
by the county of counsel appointed
by the Court to defend INDECENT de-
PENDANTS in murder charges.
Two attorneys were appointed by
the Court to defend a foreign muir
derer, and the County Commission
ers pleaded exceptions on the
ground that the law was unconsti-
tional, being defective in the title.
The allowance for counsel is $500
and the expenses incidental to the
case and fees. The counsel accept,
ed service, and the matter will be
disposed of in 10 days.
