The Marion daily mirror. (Marion, Ohio) 1892-1912, 1907-01-18


Even in Washington, where are
emgregated many Of the poltical
leaders of the various states, the
question of the politics Of Presid-
ent Roosevelt is being discussed.
The minority representatives in
the senate are maintaining that the
president is more Of democrat
than a republican and are backing
their arguments with citations.
There are no bones made of the
fact that President Roosevelt has
been working along the very Lines
which We're advocated by Mr.. Bry-
an as far back as 1896, and it is
well known that in these reforms
which he has sought to institute,
he has received more liberal and
more loyal support from the demo-
cratic members than he has from
the republican side Of the house
and senate. One senator has even
gone so far as TO make the state
ment that if the republicans are not
going TO improve the opportunities
which have been presented to it,
it would be better TO return the
principles to the democratic party
from which they were secured.
One thing is certain that Presid,
ent Roosevelt has been advocating
principle which are more democrat.
ic than republican in their make
up and if he proceeds along the
lines which he has mapped out he
will be found IN the democratic
party before his term expires, un,
less he is the kind of man who
is willing to adopt the principles
and refuse TO accept the name
This may be the secret of Presid-
ent Rocsevelt's determination not
to accept the nomination for an
other term at the hands of the Re.
publican party.

When San Francisco was shaken
to pieces and then burned up, there
was scarcely another subject upon
the lips of the people you met on
the street. Everyone was anxious
to know the latest reports from
the stricken city and many were
the telephone calls daily to the
Mirror office TO know what, if
anything new had been learned
over the wires. Some persons were
greatly worked up for fear that the
lightning might strike here next
and good resolutions were made
and out of fear of calamity some
reforms may have been made by
some individuals. The public was
wrought up to high tension and n

they would imagine that the house

Monday afternoon, the city of
Kingston, on the Island of Jamaica,
an island of the West Indian group
living closer to Marion than San
Francisco, met practically the same
fate as the western city and yet
little comment has been made upon
he occurrence by the citizens. All
of the excitement incident to the
San Francisco affair has been lack
ing and apparently the people have
less interests in the Kingston dis
aster than they have shown in the
Brownsville affair.
The cause for this probably lies
in the fact that the people are I'M
familiar with geography for, had
the earthquake occurred m Havana,
there would have been more inter.

leging that Mrs Rush had alienated the

fore Justice Barnard, who instructed the

MADDEN BILL HEARING
CHEAPER GAS CONSIDERED BY
LABOR UNION COMMITTEE.

The meeting of the committee of the Cen
trail Labor Union held in Costello's Hall
last evening to discuss the Madden bill for
I5-cent gas in the District of Columbia
was we'll attended. The Washington Gas
Light Company was represented by Attor-
ney r. H. Goldsborough. General Manager
W. F. Hart and Engineer James s. Nell
benny. who opposed the arguments ad-
vanced by E. w. Oyster of the Petworth
Citizens Association. Mr.. Oyster urged
the members of tie committee to go on
record in favor of the passage of the bill
When the meeting was called to order Mr.
Oyster was full of fight. notwithstanding
the members Of the other citizens assOcia-
tions had not rallied to his support He
brought with him a copy of the Spooner
report of 1885, and the documents before
Congress at that time; copy of the hear
ingS at later date and a report of the
bureau of labor giving gas statistics He
declared that he offered these reports as
proof that the price of gas in the District
Of Columbia is exorbitant and out of all
proportion, compared with the rates in
other cities. He also called attention to the
fact that the company had not reduced the
salaries of the employees when the price of
gas was reduced. He dwelt at length on
the financing of the company and alleged
that bonuses were granted in order to re-
duce the apparent dividends which were
out of all proportion when the amount in
vested was considered.
Mr.. Goldsborough Responds.
Mr.. Goldsborough was the spokesman for
the representatives of the gas company
and during the course of his address went
over the ground thoroughly and at each
step offered argument in opposition to the
statements that had been made by Mr.
oyster. He declared that the Washington
Gas Light Company has always been and
is willing to make a full, free and frank
statement of the business affairs of the
corporation
AL this point Mr.. Gods5orough produced
a typewriter statement of the business of
the company. and stated that the same had
been delivered to the Commissioners of the
District of Columbia for their consideration
Continuing he said that in his opinion aay
minded man will admit that the com
pany is entitled to reasonable earnings on
the value of its property, and that the divi-
dends are the benefits accruing from good
management and judicious Investments He
stated that the manufactured gas cost the
Washington Gas Light Company CTS cents
per thousand feet to deliver to the con-
sumner. exclusive of dividends, fixed charges
and interest, and included no allowance for
depreciation of plant. HIS also gave as his
belief that the bill for 75-eent gas was a
radical one which would not stand when It
was brought before the courts in a test
case.
Later Mr.. GOldSborough. in answer to a
question from Chairman Stein, stated that
the Washington Gas Light Company had
upon one occasion opposed the organizat ton
of Its employees. but that at the time one
man was mainly responsible for the action
company was not opposed to such action on

The address of the evening was delivered
by Speaker Cannon. He referred in his
characteristic vein to the country's phe-
nomenal prosperity, which. he said. was
too apparent to be denied. even by the most
rampant pessmist. He had often heard.
he said, that goods manufactured in this
country could be purchased at a less cost
in Europe, but this was questionable. he
added. and to illustrate his belief produced
what he described "a 75-cent watch"
II don't think he remarked significantly,
that this watch can be either made or
sold in Europe for the same money.

everything the world needs here in this
country. and there seems no reason why We
shouldn't sell to the world"
Secretary Shaw's remarks were devoted
to a plea for ship subsidy and the develop
ment of merchant marine. He said:

anything else, II we are to develop our
commerce. is subsidized merchant marine.
