Standing by the President.

Every time President Roosevelt has been attacked
by the organization of Republicans congressa Dem
ocratic champion has appeared the scene of ac-
ton and saved him from humiliation.
In the fight occasioned by the railroad rate bill,
administration measure, it Democrat who
whipped the Republican opponets into line and for
ced its enactment. In the contest following the ex
posure of the packing houses and the Introduction
of the so.caled pure food law Democratic cham
ship in both senate and house compelled the corpora
ton-dominated Republican senator's and members to
vote in accordance with the presidents desired. In
the contest on in the senate with regard the
dismissal of the negro troops at Brownsville by the
president, the action of Senator Blackburn Demo
crat gives promise of saving the president from all
the trouble and humiliation which Foraker and other
Republican senators have been piling up in his way
since the beginning of the present session.
Senator Blackburn resolution recognizes the right of
the president to discharge the colored troops and
will compel the Republican senators to either stand
by the administration or stand by Foraker. Its
introduction at most opportune time will not only
to put quistus a ng-drawn-out discussion
of unimportant subject, but will also result in
showing of hands, whereby the people may deter
mine just who the friends and who are the
enemies of the president.
Alarmed Senator Blackburn's action. Foraker
and his friends Will make strenuous effort to table
the Blackburn resolution but it has been made
clear that the people will regard such actions one
of open hostility to the president there appears to
be no escape from showing of hands through pro-
cess OF a direct vote. Once vote is ordered and
the resolution will be adopted. Many of Forakers
friends who have given him every encouragement
thus far and viewed with delight his attacks upon
the president, will support the Blackburn resolution
for the that they cannot afford be known

Creamer and Johnson Have
Saved the State $18, 900.

Fire Marshal Creamer and State
Printer johnson have every reason
to feel proud of their excellent re-
cords. The fact that a sum ap-
proximating $4,000 has been
saved to the state during the first
six months of their incumbency,
speaks volumes for honesty in
public office. Furthermore it
serves to demonstrate that if John
NJ. Pattison had lived Ohio would
today be in the full enjoyment of
honest government with conse-
quent reduction of taxation, which
honest government brings. The
people of Ohio are proud of Messrs.
Creamer and Johnson. They have
performed we'll their duty. and
give promise OF greater improve
ment in the remaining years of
their terms, despite the many eff
fors of the machine politicians to
embarrass them.

Miners in the Pomeroy
District on a Strike.

Since january 18th between
1900 ana l400 miners in the Pome.
roy district have been on a strike
They were ordered out by the mine
officials without having any speci-
al grievance against the opera
tors, many of whom have their
headquarters in Columbus. The
Pennsylvania Coal company, OF
which j. w. Blower is manager,
Maynard Bros. and others of this
city have mines in that section of
the state and are affected by the
strike. Because Of the general
dullness of the trade the strike
does not cause the damage which
otherwise arise from cessation
of work at this season of the
year.
The officials of the United Mine
Workers are now in conference in
Indianapolis and the operators
cannot get statement as to what
concessions are desired. The de-
mand of the union will probably
be recognition of the union. When
the scale was signed at the time of
the general strike last May, the
union was not recognized into.
The officials have now ordered the
men to cease work ending a set
element of the matter.
The Maynard Bros. mines are
not all affected, as only about
three e-fourths of the men went
out. Other companies affected
are the Hisylyania Coal company
which has its headquarters in the
Capitol Trust building, the Pitts
burg Coal company, Bangle Bros.
of Pomeroy and Manth and Evans
baugh.
Mr.. Blower of the Pennsylvania
and others will meet the miners
officials in a conference soon in an
attempt to settle the trouble.

During oil his examination the

a discreet silence that the chair

other unionists.

The American Society of Equity
is represented in nearly all the
states of the union, but it is
strongest in the Middle West, the
Southwest and the South, and in
Kentucky it has been prominent
in the fight against the trusts.
Strong efforts are being made to
effect and organization of the
farmers of Franklin and the sur
rounding counties.

of the American Federation of

benefits of organization and the

Mr.. Geo. B. Dickert, Secretary,
is an enthusiast for organized
laborers and organized farmers to
cooperate. From his letter en-
dorsing the newspaper article we
make the following extract:
Il mean to try to get supply
of union labeled potatoes, apples,
butter, eggs, etc, coming to the
market. We want nothing here
after but union farmers products

tion of the union turkey caused no

that some business of Logan not only refuse tc

On the other hand we are ioyed to see many bust
ness men not only give $4,000 to the proposition,

to effect contract for the purchase at price sat

LOGAN OFFERS
A SITE FOR
R. R. SHOPS
[ohlo state Journnl1

The Hooking Valley has official
ly accepted a proposition made to
it by the citizens of Logan, and as
result that city will probably be
the location of important new car
and repair shops. The city has
volunteered to purchase and do
nate to the railroad site of about
80 acres, in two separate parcels,
the ground to be used for the
building of new shops and for ad-
ditional track facilities.
The Hooking Valley has needed
these new facilities for some time,
and there has been active competi-
tion among the southern Ohio
points on the system for their To-
cation. The action of the citizens
of Logan practically disposes Of
the matter.
While detailed plans have not
yet been prepared, the Hooking
Valley will probably spend in the
neighborhood of $50, 600 or 500,
600. News repair shops are to
be built, a new roundhouse erected
new turntable installed and many
new tracks laid. Several branches
center at Logan, making that a
very desirable location.

investigation of the discharge of the troops along
the lines laid down by Foraker, and they had also
hoped for continuance of the controversy through
the session in order that questions of vital inn
port might be neld in allegiance; but Senator Black

president from deep and lasting insult, shame and
humiliation, thus again demonstrating that the sue

to Democratic support-to the disposition of the
Democrats to ''stand by the president. Post.

Big Turkey Gobbler Bore

In the last issue we referred to
the demand from Columbus, Ohio,
for Christmas turkey bearing the

the turkey belongs.
