Hornet,s Nest Stirred.

That call of Democracy to battle
sent out by several Democratic men,
berg of the legislature and other
Democrats, stirred up hornets nest
in the Democratic camp the moment
1t was bugled. No sooner had the
call reached the Fairmont Times, a
leading Democratic newspaper, than
the following significant echo was
sent back:
The proposition made by Mr.. Ken
ny and his fellow signers to disqual-
ify all Democrats who do not share
their particular views ON this ques-
ton from membership in Democratic
conventions Is so undemocratic, I'M
wise and disturbing to partyharmony
as necessarily to invite harsh critI-
clsm and stubborn opposition from
those who are not prepared to go
body and boots" into the Prohibi-
ton party. No one will dispute the
right OF these twenty-six gentlemen to
be delegate to Democratic conven-
ton because of his prohibition views,
and the same right must be accorded
to all others, otherwise qualified,
hUWcNcr HtuCli tHey may uitIer from
those views. II some people were
less busy in seeking to set the Dem
ocratic sail to catch every breeze of
popularity, no matter from what di-
rection 1t may blow. there would have
been no necessity for either the cir
cular or this article"
This is not the only party sting tho
memorialists will receive either from
their party. Watch what the Wheel
ing Register and other Democratic
papers viii have to say, and then
maybe the memorlallsts Will yell out
in pain: "stung!"

Mining Resumption.

The Fairmont Coal company and
allied concerns intend to store one
million tons of coal in the docks 1t
owns on the lakes. In addition to
this shortage of one hundred and
fifty thousand tons in the docks for
the year ending the first OF July is
to be filled also. This shortage, to-
gether with the million tons to be
stored for the lake trade, demands
an early resumption in full OF the
mines in the Fairmont and Ciarks-
burg regions, which resumption was
exclusively announced by the Tele-
gram several days ago, will take
place May Is.
In addition to the work as outlin-
ed above large regular orders will
have to be filled, SO that 1t is esti-
mated that at least two hundred thou
sand tons to the lakes and the regular
trade will be filled each month until
November. One can readily see from
this that the summer is to be very
busy one with the coal companies and
the several thousand miners in their
employ. Such activity will not only
restore normal trade conditions but
Will stimulate them greatly in these
regions.
And thus is 1t that the resumption
Is to be most heartily welcomed by
all affected.

No solace in II.


The Democrats profess happiness
over the outcome OF the county Re
publican executive committee meet
Ing Saturday afternoon and with
much acclaim rejoice over the state
ment that the anti-ring Republicans
are in control Of the Republican
party.
The Telegram is decidedly of the
opinion that the Democrats will later
find very little consolation or com
fort in the situation with the Repub-
lican party in Harrison county. The
Democrats have rejoiced for the last
several years, when some of the anti
Republicans voted the Democratic
ticket and worked with the Demo-
cratsS while the regular organization
was busy electing the Republican
ticketA Now, that the anti4Republi-
cans are in power they will doubtless
all be found voting the Republican
ticket instead of the Democratic
ticket as heretofore, while the regu-
lars who always voted the Republic
can ticket will be found lined up for
the Republican ticket, when the, ants
are in control,
II this situation pleases the DEM
ocrats. they are entitled to all the
pleasure they can get out of it, but
1t looks to others that they can de-
rive but little solace from 1t.

Scoft nnh NInreflith.

The question has been raised as to
how Scott Meredith. of Fairmont,
stands on the question OF Senator
Nathan B. SCOTS reelection. Some
of the Republican newspapers OF the
district ask this before the nominal
ton has been made. Mr.. Meredith
will doubtless tell them in due time,
and will not disappolnt them in 10y
atty to Senator Scott.
1t is well, perhaps, that the ques-
ton is sprung at this time, but,
should he be nominated, Il would not
be of vital interest to know how he
stands in reference to Senator Scott,
for the reason that no Democrat
nominated to run against him would
be for Senator Scott. No one enter
tains the idea for single moment
that Tom Hodges would be for Sena-
tor Scott

Prevent Spring Floods.

The greatest development OF water
power that has ever taken place in
the United States has been accom-
piished during the last few years on
the rivers which drain the Southern
Appalachian Mountains. according 10
an official report on the water re-
sources OF this region. It Is esti-
mated that there Is at least 2.s0oQ,-
900 indicated horsepower developed
by the streams which have their
headwaters on this watershed, and
more than half this indicated power
Is available for economic deyeioop-
ment.
Only a comparatively small part Of
this has been made use OF yet, but
the portion that has been utilized has
been one of the most Important fac
tors in the recent Industrial develop
ment OF the South. In the future the
use of this power and It's value are
bound to Increase tremendously.
Manufacturing plants are constantly
increasing in number in the region,
and. 1t Is reasonable TO expect that In
industry OF the United States may be
moved from the. sterams of New
England whore It has remained for
so long, nearer to the source of sup
ply for the raw material
Nowhere are business men wider
awake to the danger than in the
South. If indiscriminate cutting of
forests ON the crests of the water
shed can be stopped, there is posi-
billy according to a recent report of
experts. Of increasing the develop
ment Of power up to anywhere from
to 30 times the 100000 horse
power at present available. Without
IT. almost nothing can be done. The
method proposed to develop the APP
palachian river resources to the total
of 100000 horsepower is by stor-
age reservoirs, which would catch the
surplus waters of the spring and re-
tain them until the> summer months
when the mills now have to fall back
on fuel or close down.

Even Judge Dayton, who has pro-
1ounced views against the liquor
trade, must be impressed with the
improved conditions in this part of
the state, which has reached the
point, where a federal grand jury
was not needed at the recent term of
his court here. tits noteworthy that
the work OF the federal grand jury
in this district of the state is not so
extensive now as it was in former
years. The officers are just as dill
gent in running violators down, but
there appear to be fewer than for
merly.

inquiry as to themanner in which
our boys were treated at Hanna
ford and we have been unable to
find a man, either player or spec
tator, but what say that the arti-
Gle published in the Pioneer was
not half strong enough for it was
certainly a rank deal and was
disgusting both for the specta-
tors and the players alike. AS
to Hope having a reputation on
that branch as "kickers, etc"
we might say that the fact Of the
matter is Hope has always had
too strong a bunch for any of the
towns over the river and conse-
quently they have had to play the
entire line from Sanborn to
McHenry, then Hope would trim
them up right-hence the sore
spot. 1t looked very much as if
Hannaford was playing too fast
ball for the little boys from over
the way" when Hope allowed but
two Hannaford men to pass End
base in the two shut-out games
on the Hope diamond a couple of
weeks ago. Hope is willing
Hannaford should have the for
feited game but any time they
want to play a game of Base Ball
there are dollars to doughnuts
that Hope can skin anything they
want to pickup.

TWO MORE SCALPS
FOR HOPE.

The CdSSelton aggregation o
base ball tossers we're pitted a.
gainSt the locals in two hOtly CON
tested Jameson the local diamond
last Thursday afternoon and
evening. The ball fans who had
a slight acquaintance with Cass-
elton boys were up against it to
determine just what nine Hope
was to play as there were but
two or three men in the entire
bunch that could be recognized
as Casselton players and it was
only from the fact that the games
we're scheduled With CasseltOn,
and the nine men appearing on
the diamond wore Casselton suits
that they decided that it was the
Casselton team. Nevertheless
it was the best lot of players
punched against the locals so far
this season but where they fell
down was in the team work.
The game called at2:0O was one
of the prettiest games ever played
on the Hope diamond. Both mines
were up on their tip-toes during
entire game and not a man was
allowed to cross the home plate
for five innings. The main feat
ure Of the games was the pitching
of Hoar and Cox-Hoar striking
out 9 men and Cox 6, also the two
double plays by Hope: Knoblauch
to Milligan to Rust and Holt to
Milligan to Hughes. The game
was played in just so minutes.
The following is the score by in

The visitors in the game after
supper failed to put up the article
of ball that they had handed out
in the afternoon and consequent
ly the game was not as interest
ing as was looked forward to by
the fans, while the locals were
still delivering the same class of
goods as during the afternoon.

The game by innings:

Hannaford Enterprise: The
Hope Pioneer of last week came
out with a big hollar about the
game of ball forfeited here last
week and complain about the de-
cisions they got at the hands Of
the umpire. Mr. Knauss umpired
the afternoon game with Hope
and has umpired every game that
has been played on the home
diamond this year, and there
was no complaint until Hope
found so many steals in three in
nings that they had to go home.
Hope has a reputation on this
branch of being a bunch of kick
ers and dirty ball players but we
did not think they we're cutters
and babies. Our home team was
playing too fast ball to look good
to the little boys from over the
way and they thought there
would be more honor in finding
some pretext for quitting than
taking a defeat like men. The
Ponce says: "Such work will
never bring a town or team any
thing" We do not care to have
it bring US a bunch of socalled
players who think, according to
their principles of playing ball,
that they can quit anywhere in
the game from the first to the
ninth inning when it looks as if
they are up against a team that
would beat them.

THE PETITIONS ARE NOW FILED
WITH THE COUNTY CON-
MISSIONERS.

So the case is now in the hands of
the jury. Hope will have representa-
tives to present their case. We only
ask that you give our claims careful,
consideration, weigh every argument,
size up every advantage, and vote
your honest convictions as to the
right and best place to locate your
county seat.
We believe 80 per cent. of the re-
sidents Of the county, feel that u
county buildings are not fully ade-
quate for the business of the county.
Everybody realizes the trouble and
expense Of going to Sherbrooke for
county business, and it appears to us
that our county has reached a place
where they ought to have and a af-
ford to have suitable accommodations,
and buildings that they can be proud
of. 1t is necessary before long to put
some expense on the present buildings
and it seems that this money should
be put into permanent buildings.
There is a danger under the present
conditions that few, probably serious
ly consider, and that is the danger OF
fire. In one of the Wisconsin counties
their building burned destroying the
records, and it cost the county more
to get their records back into shape
than a building would cost. An old
frame building with no fire protection
in the town, is a danger that cannot
be overlooked, and several persons
familiar with the county buildings
have stated that they doubted whether
the vaults would stand a fire in a
strong wind.
Some objections have been raised to
building a new building on the ground
that the county is not yet in shape tc
do so. We cannot see where anything
can be gained by waiting, as the
county is out of debt and as we under.
stand it cannot establish a building
fund in advance under the present law
Our county now has reached about
S4OO, 100000 of assessed valuation, so il
would not be necessary to issue bonds
as a tax of 10 mills would furnish q
fund sufficient to build proper build,
ings. An assessment of this size
would mean $500 or 5000 on a quarter
section of land. Or it could be levied
in say three years at about $500 pei
wear on a quarter section.
Under the present law we canno
vote on this again for ten years ant
during that time unless we move Thu
fall 1t will be necessary to spend con
siderable money in Sherbrooke in thu
way of repairs, and as stated it would
seem that this money would practi
cally be thrown away, as we do no
think it would be possible to get tn
county to vote to put permanent build
ings off the railroad, SO why take tn
chances of hanging this up for tel
years. Don't'do it. Study this ques
ton from all sides and see if 20,
think it wise. Then look carefully intt
the claims and advantages offered b.
the different places, and vote to locatt
the county seat in the place that offer!
the best advantages.
We feel that we are asking nothing
that any contestant can object to i,
the least, because all we ask is a fair
unprejudiced hearing OF our case, ant
the voters of Steele County are a fair

They are called on to decide the
case of "WHERE TO MOVE THE
COUNTY SEAT". In behalf. of the
City of Hope, we wish to ask every
voter in the county, whether he lives
in Hope, Finley, Sharon, or any other
town; or on a farm in any part of the
county; to decide this case upon it's
merits, and upon the evidence brought
before you. Don't jump at a conclu-
sion and say that this place or that
place is proper, but give us all a hear
ing, size us up; our facilities, u
different advantages from all stand
points, and make your decision upon
careful study and without bias or pre-
judice for or against any place.
This is a matter of business, not of
politics, or even of local pride in our
respective towns, but is simply a ques-
ton Of which is the best place from all
standpoints, and also which place Off
ers the greatest likelihood of getting
the required two-thirds vote.
