DOUGLAS
AND THE MINERS
Goes to Europe on Pleasure Trip and
Sees Several Foreign Mines. Is
Prepared to Tell Ohio Miners
How to Dig Coal

The Ohio State Journal tells of how
Albert Douglas of Chillicothe, enter
tanned at the Neil House the foreign
commission from Belgium, Wales and
Germany, who are here to study mine
conditions in America.
While over there he spent several
days in the coal mines of Belgium and
Wales and since has heralded the
astounding information that he is pre-
pared to tell the Hooking Valley miner
how to dig coal.
OF course it would not have been
pleasant way to have put in his vaca-
ton, visiting the many mines in his con
gressional district.
The Honorable Albert made an eight
minute speech in the last Congress ad-
vocating the establishment of bureau
of mines, which bill, if it becomes
law, is not wholly what his miner
constituents desire.
This foreign commission has been
allowed $15O,OOO by the U. S. govern
ment to travel about the country, and
Mr.. Douglas arranged with them to
make trip to his district
This they did by spending a Wednes-
day in Athens county visiting one mine
and then left for the west; first return
ing to Columbus where Douglas again
entertained them with swell dinner, at
the swell Columbus Club.
Our congressman has learned few
things about the deep mines abroad, and
is primed with statistics about govern
ment operation. All of this he or any
one else could get out of the mine
workers journals or he could have
waited to get the foreign commission to
tell us.
The campaign for his reelection is
on. and from now until November Hon.
Albert will be telling the miners of his
wonderful discoveries, in the hope that
they will forget that his opponent Lon
Sears was once a miner himself, and
since has been large employer of labor,
who can appreciate their condition and
can learn their wants without making a
pleasure trip abroad
Douglas is fooling no one but himself.

it. And then he proceeded to congratu.
late her upon the granting of the pen
sion and substantially claiming credit.
This is, as can be readily seen, syste-
matte fake performance. Under the
status there was absolutely nothing left
for Mr. Douglas to do. He could neither
influence the action of the pension office
one way or the other. The office was
bound by the law and their attention
having been called to the facts by the
Ohio state agent, there was nothing to
do but to place the widow on the pension
roll.
There is no objection to Mr. Douglas
securing all the credit possible for this
pension business, but he should not AFRO
gate to himself achievements with which
he has had nothing whatever to do.
In this connection it might be proper
to say that Mr. Douglas was more than
busy in introducing private pension
bills, r. fewer than twenty-eight per-
haps. 1t is easy to introduce pension
bill The records of the House of Rep
resentatives show that as to twenty of
these bills no action was taken.
In addition to this Mr.. Douglas intro
duced bill to create a bureau of mines,
but substitute bill introduced by one
of the largest coal operators in the
United States, chairman of the commit
tee of Mines and Mining, was reported
out and passed. Another was to erect
a public building at Jacksonville, on
which no action was taken. Another
was to confer United States citizenship
upon the inhabitants of Porto Rico; no
action upon this. Another was for pub
lie investigation of accidents on rail
reported from the committee of Mer-
chant and Fisheries a bill to regulate
passenger lists on steam vessels. In all
he introduced thirty-tw bills, public and
private. Seven private bills were re-
ported back and no action taken on
twenty private bills and no action taken
on any public bill.
This is the record and it is not strange
that new Congressman should not have
succeeded any better, but he ought not
to be taking to himself credit for having
secured Widows pension, when the
widow IS pension came by mere operation
of the law through the proper depart :
ment at Columbus.

GAINESVILLE LABOR JOURNAL
Says that Lon Sears Represents Honest
Capital Is Friend of Labor
In Field and Factory

In the Hooking Valley Congressional
District all branches of labor have this
year an opportunity by their votes to
show their appreciation of an ideal en-
ploycr of wage earners.
Lon Sears, of Chilicothe, Ohio, the
candidate, as nearly fills all the requi-
sites from the standpoint of both labor
and honest capital, as we could imagine.
He has climbed the ladder from the
very bottom, and the fellows on the
rounds below him never were kicked,
but always get hand from this big
hearted gentleman. The man who
works in field or factory, above or below
ground, can find in the career of Mr..
Sears a page of his own life. With this
bond between them, it is certain that
the candidate wnen sent to Congress,
will know just what the laboring man
wants and why, even though he has
graduated from employee to employer.

The Athens Journal Tells Congressman During
First Term
First Term
Told Soldiers Widow Fake Story.

The Athens Journal published the fol
lowing under the heading, ga Fake Con
gressman:
As is well known to the people of the
country the Congress of the United
States at its last session passed bill
entirely changing the law in regard to
the pension of widows The bill was in
troduced by the Honorable Cyrus Adam
Sulloway of New Hampshire, chairman
of the committee on Invalid Pensions,
and reported by him to the House and
passed by that body and afterwards COL
CURED in by the Senate. The bill is very
simple, but the change in the law is
vital. Instead of requiring the widow of
a dead soldier to prove that the soldier
died of disease contracted in the
service, or failing in that, that she has
not an income from all sources amount
ing to $3.50 per annum, by the new law
the widow of dead soldier is entitled
to $12 month pension regardless of
her income or regardless of the cause of
her husband IS DEATH The process by
which widow reaches the position of
pensioner is now very simple and was
well illustrated in the case that has
come to the knowledge of the people in
this district. Mrs. Stalder, the mother
of the young lawyer, Harry G. Stalder
of Athens, and widow of the late Cap
tain Frederick Staldcr of one of the Ohio
regiments, now deceased, having learned
of the change in the pension law wrote
to the Ohio state agent, Colonel Currey,
the pension was allowed. There was no
reason why it should not be. The pro-
cess was this. Affidavit of the widow
and another witness to the fact of her
marriage with the soldier and the fact
of his honorable discharge, which ap-
pears in the Adjutant General's Office
at Washington, and the proof of his
death. And that was all their was of
it; almost formal proceeding and the
pension was, as matter of course,
allowed. Tt took no action of anybody
except that we have stated, and Mrs.
Stalder in due time received notice of
the allowance of her pension.
But what next? She received letter
from the Honorable Al. informing her
that she had been allowed pension and
intimating very plainly that the Con
gressman had had something to do with

ests of his country first. and secondly to

'Tis seldom that so much san be said
