A War Memento Smashed.

Historic Long bridge is only wreck
age at present and will soon be q thing
of the past. The sole connection be-
| tween the District of Columbia and
| the soil Of Virginia for long time,
| it has been the scene of many
historic movements between the sec
tions. 1t was fred by the British
when they attacked the capital in 1914,
1t was the chief means of connection
during the war of the sixties and fig
ures conspicuously in the annals of the
civil war. When the Federal troops
in 1861 set out to invade Virginia they
crossed the Potomac by means of this
structure, and after the battle of Bull
Run they recrossed it In panic. Inc
name of the Long bridge became ma
tlonally familiar in connection with
that disaster. Federal armies marched
over it again and again, and it was
by. this route that Sherman came from
the Carolinas to the grand review on
Washipgton's chiefest avenue in 1865.
For several months Long bridge has
been out of service, having been final
ly supplanted by pair of new bridges,
one for the railroads and the other for
ordinary traffic. The delay in It's demo-
lltlon is typical of its entire history.
Now at last 1T is passing, and soon 1t

to the march of progress. this historic
relic will not be mourned, for during
recent years the antiquated structure

For the Primary.

In a recent statement by Senator Beveridge, upon
the subject of primaries, which he advocates with
vigor and Judgment occurs this sentence.
1t is common knowledge that most of our mingled
political and economic troubles from the system
which has grown up of keeping nominations for Of
flee and the organization of committees out of the
hands of the people and in the hands of so ex,
pert that they may properly be called professionals.
Now, isn't that deporable situation for a free
and Intelligent people to be in? And Senator Bev.
erdge paints the picture faithfully The people are
robbed of their rights by gang of politicians whose
sole purpose is to aggrandze themselves by subject
ing the people to their whms and selfish aims. They
professionals the senator says 1t is science
with them, the science of laying and putting
down pins, so that the people cut off from doing
their own thinking or expressing o choice
Senator Beveridge proposes change this program
over in Indiana. He is sincere in the fight for un-
selfish politics. He wants the people and not the
professionals to propose the alternatives upon which
they are to act This is the purpose of pure re-
pubicansm. The way he proposes for the abolition
of bosssm and the heartless machine is to pass an
effective primary law He says it can be done; it is
being done; and points to Wisconsin having one
that establishes the popular rule and overthrows the
autocracy of the professional politician.
That is one of the greatest problems of the day.

LAW PASSED.
Old Soldiers to Be Well
Taken Care Of.

Washington, Jan. 11.--A gener-
al service pension bill was passed
by the senate today, which if it
becomes law, will give to surviv-
ors of the civil and Mexican wars.
who have reached the age of 81
years, $l2 per month; $l5 to those
10 and 500 to those rs years of
age.
The bill was amended at Sena-
tor Carmack's instance, 80 as to
make it apply to survivors of the
Mexican war as we'll as those of
the civil war and so as to prohibits
pension attorneys from securing
pensions under the bill.
The words in the bill. "War of
the Rebellion" were changed to
"Civil War;" After some discus
sion as to what the war of '6I to
'64 really was, Messrs. Money,
Bacon and Patterson contended
that it was "war between the
states" while Mr.. Teller said it
was either civil war or rebellion
and he saw no opprobrium In the
word "rebel."
Senator McCumber estimates
that if tho bill becomes a law it
will increase the pension expendi-
lures of the country to the extent
of about $4,000, 900 annually,
while the commissioner of pensions
thinks that the increase will be
between $40, 900, 600 and SIS, o00,-
600.

The Railroad Shops.

Matters are more and more taking tangible form
in the securing to Logan of the Hooking Valley Rail
road shops. A rousing meeting of the citizens and
business of our town was held last Friday night
at the Commercial club Mayor Doll1son pre-
sided and received a report from the committee on
securing a suitable sight for the shops. Mr.. John
f. White presented the report and said that the COM
mittee had consulted with Superintendent Connors,
and learned from him that the tract known as the
Gallagher land containing about 36 acres is what is
wanted by the railroad company for the location of
the shops. strip 200 feet wide and 1000 feet long
east of their present yards for receiving yards is
also required making approximately 80 acres of land
The committee investigated the prices of the land,
and recommend that the citizens buy same for the
railroad company, at price not to exceed 100000
90, though greater price than that was asked by
the land owners.
The report of the committee adopted, and on
motion resolution was adopted follows:
We the business men of Logan, in mass conven-
tion assembled the Hooking Valley Ry. Co.
our most hearty evaporation, and tender them the
land required for proposed shops, and yard extern
sions should they decide to locate here. That the
chairman and secretary of this meeting bear to said
company unanimous proposition to that effect.
Signed by j. B. Dollison, chairman, and John
Rempel, secretary. The letter prepared and
sent to the company Saturday morning by Mr. w. III.
Strentz person.
Before the business meeting diourned to the call
Of the Mayor, committee ''ways and means"
was appointed with the following membership;
Frank Blasus W, H. Strentz, j. H. Perone, F. NJ
Mckay and DIR. Rannells.
AS the proposition is accepted by the rail-
road company, this committee will start out to get
the money by popular subscription, which will not
be much of task.
The business of Logan awake to the bene-
ts TO be derived from this vast enterprise. 1t
from 300 to 500 more employed here at good
wages 1t means about $4,000. 90 more per month
means more houses built and our population to in
from 5000 it is, to 5000 a few years
ALI this every business man and property
knows and is willing push along The ''ways and
means committee assured by many business
before they left the meeting that they would
largely contribute. 1t is rumored that the Retail
Liquor League of Logan have rendered 100000 to
the committee for a starter This if true is certainly
a commendable spirit on the part of the saloon
to help the town along and incidentally wise
on their part, thus bringing all business of Log
an closer to them in friendly spirit The business
men of Logan that raise this money and secure this
enterprise, should have recognized place among us,
and the people ought to stay with them. The busi-
who is able that don't contribute is not
entitled to pleasant look.

er's chief criticism Of existence in
great cities is that man must travel
so far from his home to his work and
again from his work to his home. His
work is never beyond the sound of his
own dinner horn, and he can lay out
his next job while taking rest on his
porch. 1t is noticeable that current
speculation and discussion over aerial
navigation relate to its amazing fea-
lures. The airship is to do stunts, not

Woman.

Bishop Stang delivered an ad-
dress before the Union of Roston,
in which he gave his opinion OF
woman. He opposed all woman
reform movem ents that took her
away from the home or reduced
it's Importance. Here is para
graph from his address:
sis woman mans equal? If sic
is, should she have the same pre-
paration and education? Before
God all are equal. We are all
Gods loving children. God has
no stepchildren. Morally and IN
tellectually, l say, woman Is not
the equal of man. Nor is man
the equal of woman. They have
different endowments, different
rights and duties"
The bishop is treading on tick
lish ground, but as he has no wife
to go home to, he can say what he
thinks. But he Chus goes on to
explain:
"Woman has the greater heart /;
man the greater head. Which
has the better portion, | cannot
decide. Woman's true beauty Is
that of virtuous heat, the
Christian graces, and in her edu-
cation music should have primary
I lace. Song should fill the house,
for, as the German proverb rune,
where there is woman's music
crime cannot be. The scripture
speaks of music as means OF
prGising God, and St. Augustine
says. "Singing counts double over
praying"
It will be noted how skillfully
the bishop changes the issue from
woman equality TO music, whittier
we follow HIM with joy and glad
ness. The bishop says something
about the man also. and in this he
shows himself to be a keen OBJ
server. Wouldn't you think SO
from this delecate little thrust9
TStrong men, too, are wanted.
We have in Fall River women who
in the less elegant phrase of our
city, "bossp their husbands, and
such a man will sometimes be
ordered around like little office
boy and made to do all sorts of
chores, but a woman will never
The Democrat-sentinel. [volume] (Logan, Ohio) 1906-1935, 1907-01-17

love such man. Affection is
based on respect, and where there
is no respect there is ro love. A
man must be such as to hold
woman's esteem because of his
sturdiness, one who can be looked
up to"
The lesson of which is, II n man
wants his wife to love him he
should not let her boss him around,
and the corollary is possibly as
true, he should do the bossing;
but corollaries are not always to
be depended upon. The bishop
then offers the following advice to
women about reading:
"Then women should cultivate a
taste for reading. Not to read
garbage of trashy literature, espe-
cially newspapers, novels and
magazines that are neither decen {
nor have in them anything origi-
nal, but god English literature
should be her mental food. ALI
else should eschew. To the eocial
inquiry Christian woman should
have backbone enou gh to say,
"No, / havn't read the latest
novel"
OF course, we differ from tn
good bishop about some news
papers, but he is on the right
track. The bad reading that is
going on in the world is doing in
finite harm, and the women are
doing their share of it. All
through the bishops address is
spirit of admiration for women
and a profound appreciation of
her position as the arbiter of mans
destiny. He declared that she
held in her hands the formation
and reformation of man. She
can bring back decent comfort to
the home and Danish vice from
society. In closing, the bishop
said:
"That womanly beauty was COM
patible with wrinkles and decrep-
titude. The poorest woman with
a virtuous heart and a righteous
mind, though in threadbare cloth.
ing, and with faded hat and-worn
shoes, is more beautiful and more
attractive than the rich lady in
silks and satins, decked with
jewels, who is a stranger to God
and to life of grace."-Exchsge.

columbus Dispntch.)

Robert f. Sheldon and e. X.
Stewart left at noon Thursday to
attend the fret annual meeting at
Lancaster of the Lancaster Trac-
tion and Power company, which
recently absorbed the Lancaster
Traction company and the Fairfield
Traction company. The organiza-
tion under the plan of merger was
completed at the meeting Thurs
cay.
Columbus men, particularly Mr..
Sheldon and Mr.. Stewart, are
heavily interested in the new COM
pany, as they were in the two
which it consolidated.
The owners of the company have
some high ambitions for it's future
and have been greatly encouraged
in this position by the increased
receipts with the past year. Its
cars are like those of the Colum-
bus Railway and Light company,
and it's management and methods
of operation are patterned after
the big company, with the result
that it has final appearance.
1t operates throughout the city
of Lancaster and also to the state
reformatory. 1t has been pro.
posed that an extension be built
to Buckeye Lake, which can be
reached In less than eight miles,
and it has also been suggested that
a line to Logan could be operated
with profit.
While neither of these plans may
be definitely passed upon Thurs
day, they are almost certain to be
worked out in the near future
The Scioto Valley Traction COM
pany, however, will be considered,
and it's plans will be taken cogni-
zance of, as the owners of the Lam
caster company are also financially
identified with the former road. If
the Scioto Valley decides to go to
Buckeye Lake, as has been dis
cussed, the Lancaster company
will more than likely abandon its
plan in this direction.
However, it's intention is said to
be pretty we'll established to go
down into the Hooking Valley,
reaching intermediate stations to
Logan. The Scioto Valley also
has this in mind.
