PUTS GAG ON
NEWSPAPERS

Washington, May 20.-Power in the
hands of the postmaster general to
censor the press and to throw out of
the mails and paper whose editorials
he does not like is the effect Of the
amendment to the postal appropria-
ton bill as fixed" in the congress
sional conference committee.
ANY matter which in the opinion
Of the postmaster general incites to
murder, arson or assassination, is,
according to the proposed amendment,
to be interpreted by the postmaster
general as placing a paper in the same
class as those printing matter which
is indecent"
The part stricken from the amend
ment in conference defined anarchy
and commanded the postmaster gen
eral to throw out papers advocating
the abolition of government.
The postmaster general is intrusted
with full discretion to rule on what
incites to arson, murder or assassina-
ton. His judgment would be final.
Some vigorous protests against this
press gag law have been received.

The Times-Citizen, published at
Urbana down in Champaign county,
where they have the courthouse, prints
this paragraph: mo, Belshazzar
wasn't on the water wagon The
trouble with him was that he got
drunk and ate grass, taking himself
for a horse" That only goes to show
what a mess an editor can make of
It when he undertakes to quote Scrip
ture or talk about events or persons
that figure in it. All this trouble was
in the family, to be sure, and the ac-
count is that Belshazzar got too much
at the banquet to the lords, but it was
has father who was turned out to
grass and deprived the horse of its
feed as the breakfast food makers are
doing today-Youngstown Vindicator.
The editor of the Vindicator should
not be so severe in censuring his fell
low man for attending a banquet of
the lords" Other people besides cd
itors go to banQuets and they don t
ell act like horses either.

DEATHS AND FUNERALS
JACOB H. WEIDMAN.

After bidding his wife and two
daughters last farewell, Jacob H.
Weidman, one of the best known resi-
deuts of the city, died at his home, 507
Fulton street, at an early hour We'd
nesday morning Mr.. Weidman was
the superintendent of the Canton
Foundry & Machine company and has
been a resident of Canton ever since
the close of the civil war. He retired
in his usual good health Tuesday even
ing, but early Wednesday morning he
complained to his wife of being ILL.,
He left his bed and went to the lower
part of the house, where he tried to
comfort himself on a couch. He
seemed to grow worse and physician
was telephoned for. After the physi-
clan arrived Mr. Weidman called for
a glass of water, but before this could
be brought to him he breathed his
last. 1t is thought that his death was
due to indigestion. Mr.. Weidman was
G7 years of age and was born in
Greensburg, Summit county, near Tur-
keyfoot lake. Upon the first call of
President Lincoln Mr.. Weidman en-
listed in the army, attaching himself
to Co. A, Eighth regiment, o. V. l.
and at the close of the war he return
ed to Canton and remained in this
city ever since. The deceased was a
member of the G. A. r., the Elks and
/. o. o. r., and was very popular
among a large circle Of friends and
acquaintances. He is survived by his
widow, Mrs. Ida Weidman and two
daughters, Misses Susie and Clara.
Under the auspices of the G. A. r.
the funeral will be held from his late
residence Friday afternoon at
o'clock, the services being conducted
by Rev. E. P. Herbruck. The inter
ment will be in Westlawn cemetery.

BRYAN AND MITCHELL
lWashington Dispatch to the New
York Sum-

York Sum-
Democratic leaders in Washington
have been canyassing the situation in
the various state delegations with re-
spect to the possible candidacy of
John Mitchell the labor leader, for
place on the Democratic presidential
ticket this year. Mr., Bryan looks
very kindly on the suggestion that
Mitchell be nominated for vice presi-
dent in the event that he, Bryan,
should head the ticket.
Some Of the friends of Mitchell
have been sounding the members of
congress from Illinois on the Demo-
cratic side as to the availability of
Mitchell for governor of Illinois. The
suggestion that he be a candidate for
governor is said by persons who claim
to be in the confidence of the labor
leader not to be distasteful to him.
He spent much time in Indiana in
connection with his official duties as
president of the United Mine Work
cTs' Union of America. His head
quarters have been at Indianapolis,
but he has retained his legal residence
in Illinois The Democratic leaders
as a rule prefer to see Mitchell nomi-
mated for vice president rather than
governor of Illinois. They desire to
avail themselves of his popularity
among the wOTkingmen.
In view of the possible nomination
of Taft, the Democrats expect to push
the labor question to the front in the
campaign. The avowed hostility of
the labor leaders to Taft because Of
his injunction in the Debs strike a
few years ago makes the Democrats
bold to force the fighting along that
line. Some surprise has been expressed
that Mitchell consented to allow the
use of his name in connection with
any Office in view of his oft expressed
unwillingness to have anything to do
with politics. But his status has
changed, his friends explain, because
of his REIMBURSEMENT Of all Official
connection with the mine workers
union, and as a private citizen he is
now free to engage in any pursuit he
may elect without being charged with
using the labor organization for po-
litical ends.

INQUEST IN ADAMS
CASE STARTS TODAY
CONTINUED from Page one).

ceeding that the death was due to
violence at the hospital the prosecu-
tor said he would do all in his power
to bring those, guilty to justice.
Probate Judge Bow, who commit
ted Adams to the hospital on Wednes-
day, May 13, said yesterday that as
he remembered the man he was not
strong enough to make any force ne
cessary to control him. He said, too,
that so far as he remembered the tes-
timony given at the examination be-
fore commitment nothing was said
of the veteran being violent at any
sine.
Attaches of the sheriff's office, who
remembered Adams from the fact that
he spend the night there before he
was taken to the hospital, said that
he seemed perfectly harmless and
certainly not violent. Sheriff Wilson
said No violence or great force
would ever be necessary to handle
that old man"
Acting Coroner Boutwell, in an in
terview' yesterday said that he was
not in a position to express any opin-
ion as to what caused the death of
Adams but that the three physicians
who were called in to make the post
mortem examination were frank in
saying that death was the result of
the wounds on the left side of Ad-
ANS body and was not due to pneu-
monia. Justice Boutwell, said that the
physicians told him that any one> >of
the four bruises on the left sides, each
of which marked fractured rib, was
sufficient to ultimately cause death.
The marks and bruises on the body
were described by Justice Boutwell, as
follows: On the left side were four
deep bruises, each of which marked
a broken rib, and judging from the
marks the bruises could hardly have
been made with a fist, certainly not
by fall. They might have been
chest Justice Boutwell, said there was
an ugly bruise which showed even
beneath the sternum. On either side
of this were bad bruises and on the
right side was another In each in
stance the flesh was dark and discol+
ored and the blood clotted. he said,
to 8 considerable extent.
What made the bruises and when
they were made were the points the
justice said he would try to bring
out at the inquest which will start
today. He said it would likely be
held in the mayors court room at
Massillon. The justice said he had
been instructed by Prosecutor Upham
to make the investigation a thorough
one and had also received many tel
ephone calls asking the same thing.
He said he would attempt to bring out
all facts which might shed light on
the cause of Adams death regard
less of whom they might affect
1t was reported last night that Gov
ernor Harris would be asked TO make
an investigation of the cause of Ad-
ans death.
