Well Said

lFrom the Venango Daily Herald
1t is one of the anomalies of the pres
ent status of the temperance question:
the way great and little dailies that
few years ago were doing their best to
take all the whisky money in advertising
they could get, are now shouting most
vociferously for the passage of local op-
ton laws and shying bricks at the men

and women who have brought about the
present popularity of the temperance
movement. One cannot help feeling,
when considering such cases of eleventh
hour repentance, that if the liquor men
should win and drive. the Prohibitionists
back into the oblivion from whence they
have marched to their present command
ing position, these same. newspapers
would shout just as loudly to prove
themselves always loyal to the liquor
interests.

There is really a wonderful demand

Every boarding house, hotel, restau-

from IS to SIS worth of work to be

From Death v.i'ey.
San Bernardino, Cal. Nov. IL
Death va,'ay and the surrounding
country sre in the throes OF series
of earthquakes which began three
weeks ago, and the most violent Of
which occurred last wednesday morn
ing before daylight, carrying conster-
nation among the mining camps and
resulting in many miners and pros
pectors fleeing from the district
Samuel Lawrence, one Of the first
miners to reach here with details of
the earthquake, said that for three
weeks past there have been one or
two rumbles daily. They have all
been light with the exception of that
which upheaved the district Wednes-
day. The dismal crags of the Funeral
range seemed fairly to totter when
the severe shock came last week.
Miners were tossed from their hunks,
camp equipment was scattered about,
horses and mules stampeded and inn
mense boulders thrown down. At
daybreak the miners commenced to

REFUSES
TO SEAT GLASS men
President Rowe Calls It Gov
eminent by Injunction"

Denver, Colo, Nov. 1.-THE first
real fight in the twenty-eighth annual
convention of the American Fedora
ton of Labor occurred in the unseat-
ing Of the delegates of the flint glass
workers by a practically unanimous
vote.
The first day of the convention the
credentials committee reported, seat
ing all delegates except those of the
electrical workers, whose case was
referred to a special committee; the
operative plasterers' association and
the flint glass workers.
The other cases being disposed OF,
the fight over the seating of the flint
glass workers delegates was begun.
For many years the flint glass work
ers were members of the federation,
but withdrew on account Of a contro-
versy growing out of question of
Jurisdiction with the Glass Bottle
Blowers association.
7. H. Rowe, president Of the Flint
Glass Workers association, and elect
ed as a delegate from the Ohio State
federation, led the fight for the ad-
mission of himself, j. F. robin OF
Muncie, Ind; w. w. Davis of Bel
mont county, Ohio, and Frederick
Shane of Toledo, o.
Mr.. Rowe protested that the en-
forcement of the letter of the consti-
tuition against him and his comrades
was equivalent to government by in
junction." John Mitchell spoke in
support of the exclusion of the flint
glass workers He said he stood
firmly upon the constitution and the
law of the federation.
President Gompers closed the dis
cussion with a statement of his posi-
ton, in which he expressed the hope
that the differences between the war
ring unions would yet be adjusted.
The vote was then taken which I'M
seated the flint glass men.

SPEAKER CANNON.

One of the results of the recent
election which all good citizens must
regret is the reelection of Speaker
Joseph Q. Canaan to the National
House of Representatives. While the
best Democrats and Republicans alike
IN Congress have been supporting the
efforts of President Roosevelt to
place on the statute book remedial
measures, Speaker Cannon has stood
Ike a stone wall against all prog
ress.
He is a reactionary of the reac-
6onaries. He is an example of the
Bourbon in politics. He learns moth
ing and forgets nothing. He is a
supporter of the trusts. He is
stand patter on the tariff.
He has used his great power as
Speaker to favor all that is evil in
our national life.> The Democratic
party stands for a lower tariff. The
Republican party, particularly of the
West, wants the presetn iniquitous
schedules reformed and lowered.
President elect Taft pledged himself
before the election to call a special
session of the Congress to reform
the tariff. Since November 3, he has
announced that such session will be
convened Immediately upon his in
saugeral.
Will anything be accomplished at
that meeting. The most potent factor
TO be considered there will be Can.
non. He is already a candidate for
reelection as Speaker. If he is
chosen again, he will be against tin
kering, as he calls it., with the tariff
schedules. Many Republican candi-
dates for Congress in the Middle
West and on the Pacific Coast were
compelled to pledge themselves in
shaking their campaigns not to vote
Tor Cannon. 1t remains to be seen
how many there are.
Cannon could be beaten if the Re-
publican members voted honestly.
But many are afraid of him. If they
were sure of his defeat, they would
come ont openly against him. They
fear that he will win and if he does,
they know he will punish those who
were against him.
Already Fowler Of New Jersey, has
announced his candidacy and in
news dispatch of yesterday, it was
said that Burton, of Ohio, may be
m the field with the support of Judge
Taft. 1t is to be hoped that sufficient
asen of backbone can be found IN the
house to defeat the Speaker.

Urged by Father of EngIand's Penny
POSTAGE Idea

London, Nov. 11.-John Henniker
Heaton, father of the imperial penny
postage idea, addressing a big audi
ence in the royal colonial institute ad-
vocated the transmission of cable
grams at a penny a word. He de-
clared that an immediate end ought
to be put to the present cable mo-
nopoly at any cost and that the cable
companies should be bought out at
the market price by the civilized gov
ernments of the world. The first step
to this end would be a conference of
the postmaster generals of Europe
and the establishment of the penny
word rate in this hemisphere; then
there should be a conference with the
postal authorities in America.

PLAUT SUGGESTS CHANGES
Man Who Drafted Schedule For Will

and Means Committee That Rates
Should Be Reduced TO Prevent
American Manufacturers Charging
Exorbitant Prices For Medicinal
Chemicals.

Chemicals.
Washington, Nov. IL. = With few
exceptions the interests affected by
Schedule A" of the DIngley tariff,
which includes over 100 articles un-
der the heading Of Chemicals, Oils
and Paints" do not desire any
changes in the rates of duties now
operative. This was Indicated at the
first hearing for the consideration of
the revision of the tariff held before
the house committee on ways and
means.
There were few requests for in
creases in the present rates of duty.
A number of those appearing before
the committee were not prepared to
present arguments for changes in the
rates and expressed desire that the
present schedule be continued. A
strong advocate for lower tariff rates
was Albert Plaut, who drafted the
schedule for medicinal chemicals for
the Wilson bill. 'The duties on me-
dicinal chemicals" he said, "are
mostly prohibitive, being in most
cases rs per cent, which is a prohib-
tive rate. The duties are practically
the same as the tariff of 1883. What
was good for the trade then is not
good now. There are less manufac-
turers of medicinal chemicals than
there were 25 years ago, and these
control the home market If the
rates of duty were reduced to Is per
cent it would prevent the domestic
manufacturer from arbitrarily fixing
the prices, which in many cases are
exorbitant. The entire schedule is
antiquated. 1t is not fair to the con-
sumers."
In addition to recommending th.c
medicinal chemicals now scheduled
at 25 per cent ad valorem should be
reduced to Is per cent, Mr.. Plaut said
that certain articles CT similar ma
ture should be taken off the free lis.
naming quinine as an example, aLT
recommending for it a Is per cent ad
valorem rate.
N. B. Arnold. representing the var
nish manufacturers national associa-
ton, declared that varnish manufac-
turers of the country are satisfied
with present conditions. He created
much amusement by his frank state
ments with regard to the oft-repeat-
ed assertion that surplus production IS
unloaded on foreign markets by
American manufacturers at a less
price than is demanded in the home
market, declaring that this was not
true. et}
DR.. Springer, representing a chem
zeal firm of Cincinnati, asked that
3 Is cents a pound be imposed on
prussiate Of soda instead of the ad
valorem rate of 25 per cent, which
now applies under paragraph for
chemical compounds. He said that
the low price of this article abroad
made it impossible to manufacture
at a profit in this country. He asked
for a 10 per cent ad valorem on
tetrachloride of tin, but admitted that
this would be a prohibitive rate of
duty, which would permit him to in
crease his DrofitS

MRS. HASKELL AGAIN
DELIGHTS BIG AUDIENCE

For the fourth time in the past two
years, Mrs. Fenetta Sargent Haskell
delighted large audience in Roswell
last night. She gave an evening at
the Presbyterian church under the
auspices of the Woman's Club, and
considering the fact that it was a
postponed affair and the further fact
that there were two other public en-
tertainments in the city on the same
evening, it is considered a high com
pliment to the reader that there was
"a large attendance and that the club
will come out even ON the investment.
Under more favorable conditions, the
club made quite a sum on Mrs. Has
kell's entertainment last year.
Mrs. Haskell had entire charge of
the program last night, her only as
sistant being Miss Sadie Martin, who
played ]. Leybach's ''Bolero Brilliant
with pleasing effect. Mrs. Haskell
read "Dr Luke of the Lebrador," an
interesting story in four parts, filled
with scenes of interest, sparkling wit
and not a little pathos, all of which
she interpreted perfectly. Her con
Guiding number was a humorous short
story, 'sThe Elopement of Obediah
and Sophia"
Mrs. Haskell left last night for Van
