PtrY rnE Republican representa-
tive seeking a denomination. The
masses of his party can see
nothing yet but Roosevelt, and the
machinists can see anything but
him. The member has to ac-
quiece in the Cannon standpat,
do-nothing policy. He must seek
denomination from hands that,
generally speaking, are against
the President Then he must get
elected, if he can, by those who a
Thousand times over favor Roose-
welt against his party reaction
aries. The preventative who
gets back for another term must
either be an adept at playing both
ends against the middle, or he
must have a majority in his dis
trict too big to be submerged by
anything less than a tidal wave.
1t is interesting to note how
some congressman who at ordinary
times are content to wear the
party collar in silence, are
speaking out bravelY now in re-
sounding phrases calculated to
tickle the ears of the groundlings.
There is nothing like a good hot
fight in his district to remind the
average Republican member that
it takes more than mere party
fealty to get him through.

ATHENS-A daring jail del
livery was pulled off at the county
jail early Sunday evening. Two
prisoners, thought to be ingenious
safe blowers, made their escape.
The delivery was discovered
about 6:30 in the evening by Sher-
III Webster and Deputy Lowry
When the discovery was made, one
man was away and gone, and the
other was still on the roof of the
Jail. Deputy Lowry fired one shot
in the darkness, but the man got
on to the jail kitchen roof, 1T is
supposed, and thus reached the
ground. Under cover of night
the rest was easy.
The delivery was without doubt
the work of experts, although the
escape from the Jail was easy.
Evidently it ha0 been planned for
some weeks, as every detail had
been worked out. The prisoners
planned to escape early in the
evening before they We're locked in
their cells, and it was at tins the
job was pulled off.
A survey of the situation this
morning lays bare the whole plot
and escape. Two brooms were
hastily tied together and a con-
trivance similar to ice tongs was
fastened to the body of one broom,
and by standing upon the cells a
tall man could easily reach the
girders with the ''ice tong ar
rangement, and from this position
go through the roof. From ap-
pearancss this contriyance had
been tried ON q number of girders,

Miners Will Cease Work.

Throughout the length and
breadth of Ohio the feeling is
growing that there will be gem
eral suspension of mining in the
organized bituminous districts Of
the Central States after April first,
when the present scale expires.
How long this will last there is no
means of telling. 1t will not be,
strictly speaking strike, but will
come as result of the failure to
agree upon new wage scale.
There are but little more than
five weeks until the time the pres
ent scale expires and nothing can
be done towards making new one
until after the conference at Indi-
annapolis. This will give less than
a month for arranging for the
joint conference and completing
the new scale. The district CON
ference to settle local conditions
must be held either before or after
this conference and work will be
suspended until these are COM
pleted, 80 that it can readily be
seen that there will be no new
scale ready by the time the old one
expires. That the railroads are
taking the view that there will be
a suspension of mining after April
first is shown by the fact that al
ready they are stocking coal.
Some of the larger industrial
plants also are beginning to stock
coal. The railroads are always
the first to begin to prepare for a
mining strike as they must have
coal and cannct afford to take
any chance on being left without
a supply.
The operators believe that the
miners will agree to settle the
local mining conditions of the scale
before the joint conference and if
this is done there will be little
difficulty over the scale price for
mining. If no settlement of local
conditions is made before Joint
conference is held, if one is agreed
upon, then there is every prospect
of long and troublesome session
of that body and probable result
similar to that of two years ago, a
disagreement and long struggle
between operators and miners,
with the difference that this time
the operators will be united in
stead of being divided as in 1906.

DEMOCRATIC MEMBERS of Congress
appear to be awakening to their
duty of compelling the majority to
go upon record concerning it's at
titude toward tariff revision.
Specific overtures have been made
to alter the Dingley schedules on
certain articles. Now the Payne
Cannon crowd can strangle them
in committee, or may hazard a
vote in the House. But the record
will be made and some remarks
will be offered, which the country
will hear.
Tariff revision is the paramount
issue of the coming campaign, so
far as the horizon now discloses
one, The exploitation of the
decalogue could not stir up much
opposition, and doubtless were
voters confined to balloting on
that as an enforced issue, the re-
suit would be unanimous. 1t will
not be difficult to establish the
fact that tariff REVISION combines
in remark BILE degree both ethic-
al and economic elements. Per-
haps the Golden Rule could not be
broken into more fragments than
by the operation of the Dingley
law.
1t will not suffice to respond
that the Republican party will re-
wise the tariff, because the people
have had the notion properly fast
ened to their consciousness that it
will not. The standpatters of the
House fear the delay the Senate
would interpOse, and they also
scott at any commission scheme
proposed by the other wing. This
collision between factions of the
opposition augurs lnaction and
the people are forced to trust to
the Democratic party, which most
assuredly will revise the tariff.
Hence is is time to begin discus
sion.
No business interests with hon
est principles can be disturbed by
an effort to install an honest sys-
TEN. No panic would follow, and
though we would not affirm it on
our own motion, there is high.
ethical authority for asserting
that panic incurred during fer
vent crusade for the ultimate bet
terment of country, is not worthy
of consideration

ONE OF THE popular develop
ments of the political world is the
practice of certain members of the
Democratic party to hail President
Roosevelt as a model Democrat.
This practice was markedly shown
by Democratic members of Com
gress when his campaign document
in the form of message on the
state Of the Nation was read.
Applause, praise and cheers came
from the Democrats. And yet
there is no man in the United
States further removed from De-
mocracy than Theodore Roosevelt.
A Democrat is for the right of
States, the submission to law,
equal justice to all, simplicity of
government, the will of the ma
iority, tariff for revenue only,
special privileges to none, loyalty
to the declaration of independence,
strict adhesion to the magnificent
Democratic Constitution as framed
by the fathers of Democracy them
selver. What does Mr.. Roosevelt
offer? His doctrines are essential
ly undemocratic. He is first last
and all the time an autocrat. If
he could abolish the existing
structure of government utterly
he would set up an autocracy.
He would have the presidency gu
preme over all the other branches
of the Government. He would
have it sandbag the courts and
coerce the National Congress. He
would wipe out the integrity of
the States as complete, indepen-
dent units of government. He
would amend the Constitution by
"Judicial construction" that con-
struction to be dictated by the
President, instead Of submitting
the amendment to the Feople of
the country through their State
Legislatures, as provided by the
Constitution. He would follow
the ideas of Alexander Hamilton,
which were expressly and yigor-
ously repudiated by Thomas JEFF
ferson and the other Democrats,
who founded the Nation and the
Democratic party. He would even
elaborate and magnify those ideas
and set up on this side of the
Atlantic an empire in fact bearing
the label, "rhls is republic. "
He does not speak a word in be-
half Of a tariff for revenue only,
which is cardinal tenet Of De

tenant General Stoessel was con-
demned to death by military
court for the surrender of Port
Arthur to the Japanese.
General Fock, who command
the Fourth East Siberian division
of Port Arthur, was ordered re-
primanded for disciplinary Of
fence, which was not connected
with the surrender, and General
Smirnoif, acting commander of the
fortress, and General Reiss, chief
of staff to General Stoessel, were
acquitted of the charges against
them, for lack of proof.
The court recommended that
the death sentence upon Lieuten-
ant General Stoessel be commuted
to 10 years imprisonment in for
tress and that he be excluded
from the service.
General Vodar, president of the
court, read the senteces amid a
tense silence. BY great effort
of self-control, General Stoesse
maintained rigid, soldier-like
impassiyeness. General Smirnoff
also was seemingly unmoved, but
there were tears in the eyes of
General Reiss. The sentence of
death was prounced upon General
Stoessel "for surrending the for
tress before all means of defense
had been exhausted; for failing to
enforce his authority, and for mil
itary misdemeanors.
