brothers. name. At That time the
subject of our sketch went to
Three Rivers, Michigan, where he
took charge of The Sears Canning
Company, remaining there until
1891, when he came to Ohio to be-
come q partner In the firm Of
Sears and Nichols at Chillicothe,
where he has since resided.
The families of Sears and Mich
OILS are pioneer Gamers and the
firm of that name have extensive
canning factories In Ohio and
Michigan, employing, in the busy
season, about 1900 men and
women, aud Mr.. Sears is consid-
cred a model em. loyer, noted for
fair treatment of employees and
the pay yment of good wages. He
is in no sense capitalist, but in
addition to his canning interests,
he has patriotically assumed hie
share of the enterprises of the
city of his present abode.
His business requiring travel
and personal solicitation, he, years
ago, became affiliated with the
United Commercial Travellers, and
today is one of its most enthusiasts
tic members.
The Benevolent Protective Order
of E'ks knew him to be an exem-
plnr of all their highest qualifica-
tions, and In and out of the lodge
he is a worthy brother. While in
Three Rivers, Michi gan, he joined
the knights of Pythias and is still
member in good standing
Early in life he became associ-
ated with the Masonic fraternities,
and, as Knight Templar, he is
one of its distinguished members.
Mr.. Sears is an easy and con-
vincing talker. Ripe in his ex-
perience as farmer, a miner,
manufacturer, and thorough
business man, he needs no school
ing in the art of administering
affairs. 1t can be justly said that
he is an ideal candidate, in all re-
spects candidate of the people.

Douglas Will Open School.
(pomeroy Democrat.l

1t is to be presumed that when
Congressman Douglas returns he
will open school in the Hooking
Valley to teach the miners OF his
district coal mining methods as he
found them in Whales.
1t would probably not have
sounded so big had the Ross
County statesman gone to the
Hooking Valley to study mining,
but he would doubtless have
learned more about mining.
Mr.. Douglas may not have in
tended it, but bis boasted trip to
royalty's dominions to study min
ing is an insult to every miner In
bis district.

Woman In Her Proper
Place.
[pY LUCY A. cRA wFoRD |

Much has been said, through
the press, of woman attaining
much through the ballot, and OF
making rapid strides, toward po
sitions of honor, for her sex, bit
there is no attainment so exalted,
no sphere 80 pure, true and noble,
as the place she filed when God,
first created her. Ladies, remember,
there is no beauty like goodness,
there is no ornament like virtue
Personal beauty may attract
admiration, but it is moral worth,
the lovliness of the soul, that
commands deepest respect and
secures admiration. "The Queen of
Home" should be her name. There
every charm attributable to
woman, is seen, in it's finest set
ting. Why should she descend to
the coarser affairs of the
sterner sex2 Such as politics, the
races, betting, etc., and why
should she strive for female suf-
frage. do not at all think
woman preacher is any addition
to humanlty's needs, from the
fact, that there is no place in
holy writ, showing where she was
to take the clergyman's place;
among the seventy Christ sent out,
there was no woman named.
Some will say, "Phoebe was
said to be servant of the church, -
but there is no account of her
having preached the gospel. She
might have been deaconess OF
she might have done deeds help

dren, there would be fewer young
girls walking the streets at un-
seemly hours, there would be more
obedient children, less number in
the state institutions, and fewer
in the death chair. Let woman
educate herself, to be in her
perfect sphere, not running
giddy race for fame and name,
which will in the end bring a
cheerless old age, when it should
be peaceful and bright as a
shower in the sunshine, or the
glistening morning dew.

Ratchford Turned Down.

M. d. Ratchford must walk the
plank in order that Taft booster
may have his place, and friends OF
Ratchford among the miners OF
Ohio have an additional reason fol
voting against Taft for President.
AS president of the United Mine
Workers before Mitchell, it was
Ratchford who secured the eight.

ford and Andrew l.. Harris, now

National Industrial Commission by
President Mckinley. Governor
Nash appointed Ratchford to his
present position, and now Cover

made then by the Vorys to dump
Ratchford and put w. T. Lewis
in his place to reward Lewis for
deserting Foraker and supporting
Taft. Lewis is brother of Tom

Nine Workers and of Llewelln
Lewis. president of the Ohio
Fedora zion of Labor. The Lewis
brothers originally were followers
of Foraker. Last winter, when
it looked like the eliminators were

Lon Sears, of Chillicothe, Ohio,
the candidate, as nearly fills all
the requisites from the standpoint
of both labor and honest capital,
as we could imagine.
He has climed 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, when sent to
Congress, will know just what the
laboring man wants and why. even
though he has graduated from
employee to employer. The sketch
below of his life, we take from
"The Peoples Advocate of
Shawnee, Ohio:
Lewis Alonzo Sears, the Demo
cratic nominee for Congress in
this district, was born on August
l5, 1860, in Douglas county, Kan
sas. His early youth was spent
on his fathers farm in his native
state on what was then the front.
ier. In common with other boys,
he roamed the plains with the
herd and became proficient in the
raising of cattle. At the age of
thirteen the work of superintend-
ing the family fell on his shoul,
ders, owing to the frequently en-
forced absence of his father.
Between seasons, when he could,
he attended the prairie school, and
with the assistance of his fathers
knowledge he early obtained a
fundamental training.
Later in his boy hood he worked
his way through the advanced
schools of Lawrence, and has since
been u close student of books and
n,r,ont
For several years during periods
of four months in each season, he
worked in the coal mine in Kan
sas, the vein often being not over
IL inches in thickness.
The shaft in those days, was
we'll like hole, and the windless
was the hoist. No modern system
of pipe drainage existed and when
the mine was troubled by water.
the miners used the hand pump
and frequently the coaltub to re-
lieve the situation.
His mine "buddies' were John
Collier, who had dug coal in Penn
sylvania and Tom and Robert Joy.
who had been reared in tho Hook
ing Valley in Ohio and who often
taunted the Kansas diggers with
stories of the high veins in their
natives states.
Mr.. Sears learned to do his own
in entries and rooms, to
sharpen and temper his own picks
and drills, things that miners in
low coal had tn do in those days,
and it was an accomplish ment
that many of lhem were proud of.
He learned the value of a days
work underground, when he dug
coal in Kansas, and it is not I'M
reasonable to suppose that were he
called upon to consider the needs
of men who daily imperil their
lives within the bowels of the
earth, he would be able to under
stand their demands aud warmly
sympathize with their hardships.
In 1882 Mr.. Sears father moved
to Circleyille. Ohio, where he be-
came interested in the G. E. Sears

doubtless this which made him re-.
