What About Ohio?
tPittsburs Post ]

lPittsours Post
In every tabulation of the cleo
toral vote this fall, Ohio is put
down among the safe and certain
for Taft. Ohio is in fact, how
ever, politically among the most
doubtful Of States. Those who
sowed the wind with Mark Hanna
are now reaping the whirlwind.
Taft has the machine support, not
because it loves him, but because
it needs him in its business. But
oil and water mix better than his
strength and theirs A few years
ago Taft helped defeat Herrick in
that famous Akron speech de-
nouncing George B. Cox, to whom
he is now indebted for the support
OF Hamilton county.
Walter Brown, Republican boss
OF Lucas county and State chair
man, has so openly used thu or
ganization for selfish ends that the
party Is out of office and on the
defensive and in the minority all
through the Ninth district. In
Cleyeland Burton, backed by all
the prestige Of the Federal admin.
istration and his own unopposed
candidacy for Congress, was beau
tifully beaten for the mayoralty
by Tom Johnson last fall Colum-
bus and the whole State are nau-
seated by all unsavory statehouse
ring, which is heading toward
Pennsylvania treasury scandal and
which dictated the succession in
the offices controlling the State
funds In a way to invite the de-
nunciation of the independent par
ty men. Hardly Republican
paper Of standing in the State is
Loyalty supporting the Cox-Brown-
Guilbert State ticket.
Foraker know that if Taft wins,
a dozen aspirlnts for his own
place will spring up. Some of
them are already in the field on the
,nline eney, and while Foraker
has never concerned himself much

know that be is good Indian to
get even. If Taft is whipped there

Great improvements in
Railroad Service.

That the dispatching of traine
by telephone Is proved success
and destined to shortly supersede
the telegraph in that respect, is
the opinion of the Superintend-
ents NJ. S. Connors and H. E.
Speaks, of the Hooking Valley,
who have just returned from Chi
cago, where they attended meet
ing of the train rules committee of
the American Railway association.
The committee spent Friday in
inspecting the telephone system as
operated by the Burlington, and
with receivers on their heads list
ened for an hour to the actual
transmission of telegraphic train
orders over circuit llS miles in
length. The ease, rapidity and
accuracy with which the feat was
accomplished, the orders being for
the actual movement of trains, as.
tonished officials who had hitherto
banked on the time honorsd Morse
code. The test was made in the
Burlington offices at Aurora, Iii.
The committee also attended
demonstration of the Powell. Potter
safety stop device, which had been
installed for u test by the inter-
state commerce commission. This
device is an innovation in wreck
prevention, and the test was pro.
nounced as eminently successful.
Almost wholly mechanical in it's
operation, it is so simple in con-
struction as to eliminate practical
ly all uncertsinty in operation,
something which has proved
drawback in previous like devices.
A contact is located alongside
the rail, sufficiently removed to es-
cape the wheel tread, which, when
the accompanying signal is placed
at danger, projects slightly above
the top of the rall. On the loco
motive there lie employed a valve,
which in passing over the contact,
is actuated, and in it's turn ap-
plies the emergency air. thus
bringing the train to an immediate
stop. The power for working the
device is an ideal example of the
conservation of energy, it being
secured through the de fiection of
the rails from the passing train,
and energizing cog and spring
equipped cylinder.

Miners Strike.

Last Tuesday the Murray City
mines held meeting relative to
the question of average places in
the mine and decided to suspend
work until the state officials took
the matter in hand and thoroughly
investigate conditions. The of.
ficials ordered the men to work
Monday, but the miners held, that
the officials were not acquainted
with the real conditions and re-
fused to obey orders until the
officials came and were made con-
versant with the situation.
After the Tuesday meeting, Mr..
Kessler, general superintendent of
the New Pittsburg mines held a
brief consultation with local
superintendent Slater and then
informed the mine committee that
they would give the men what
they asked. The miners accepted
the terms and resumed work We'd
nesday. The present suspension
has knocked the miners out of
about twenty-seven thousand dol
lars worth of work, but they claim
the unfavorabie conditions would
have in the end knocked them ont
of more, and perhaps caused con-
tention which would have resulted
in mere serious trouble. The
diiticulty was due to the fact, that
some rooms in the mine are low,
faulty or other: wise unequal to
the best rooms, and men employed
in the inferior places, while they
worked just as hard, could not
make as much as their fellows.
The miners asked that all men
be given average places. that is
places that would allow the men
each get out certain tonsgs

Republican Policies Pro-
tect (?) Industries.

The boast of the Republicans
that their policies have carried
the country safely through the
panic, and that business is rapid
ly reviving, does not seem to agree
with the facts. For instance, the
United States Cast Iron Pipe
Foundry Company, known as the
Pipe trust, has just made its
report to its stockholders which
shows very disappointing results
The President of the Company
says in his report:
During November, 1907, bust
ness absolutely stopped; the com
pany did not lose its business
There was no business.
"When there was added to this
natural condition the depression
which was caused by the panic,
the result was a stagnation such
as has never been known in the
history of the cast iron business in
this country. Not only was there
a cessation of business and q
sharp fall In prices in November,
but there was declining market
all through the winter and early
spring months"
But the report tries to encourage
the stock holders, although no
dividend is declared even on the
preferred stock by saying "that
with opening of spring business
has improved" 1t need hardly
be said that but very small orders
would be an improvement over the
entire cessation business reported.
The other branches of the steel
and iron business, although not
making quite as disasterous a
showing, are nearly in the same
J. fix. Yet the Republican platform
boasts that Republican policies
have protected the business Of the
country.

Ten years of independent cam

Don't Want Municipal
Lightning

On Monday of this week the
voters of Logan, the second time
in two years, said by their ballote
that they do not want a Municipal
Electric Light plant Out of S08
votes cast 472 were for municipal
lighting and 38l against, the pro-
position falling short so votes of
carrying by the two-thirds legal
requii ement on issue of bonds.
First ward, was l61 yes, 80 no.
Second ward, 100 yes, 109 no.
Third ward, SO yes, 50 no. Fourth
ward, 1923 yes n no The contest
was a spirited one, the friends for
the proposition and against, hav-
ing out their votes pretty well.
The next step now will probably
be to re-advertise for b:ds for
lighting the village, as the present
companies contract expires the
last of this month.
The election stirred up no little
enthusiasm, as some great street
arguments were pulled off good
naturedly. The argument that
seemed to turn the tide against the
proposition was that the Citizens
Electric Light Company have
perpetual franchise by vote of
the people, and for the Village Of
Logan to go into the lighting busi-
ness, we must first buy out the old
plant, commission to be appoint
ed by the Probate Court to fig the
valuation. What if a commission
would fix the valuation at $40,-
100000, our $26, 900 90 bonds
would not reach and another vote
would be required to raise more
money to buy plant, that hae
been IN operation for 16 years.
The following is the law on the
subject:
"1536-576) r. S. Sec 24S6.
The council of any city or vii
lage shall have power, whenever it
may be deemed expedient and for
lhe public good, to erect gas
works or electric works at the ex-
pense of the corporation, or to
purchase any gas or electric works
already erected therein; provided,
that in villages where gas works
or electrical works have already
been erected by any person, com.
pany of persons, or corporation, to
whom franchise to erect and
operate gas works or electric works
has been granted, and such fran
chise has not yet expired, the
council SHALL, with the consent
of the owner or owners, purchase
such gas works or electric works
already erected therein, and in
event the council and owner or
owners of any such gas or electric
works shall be unable to agree up
on the compensation to be paid
for such gas works or electric
|, works, the council may file in the
probate court of the county where
such gas or electric works are
; located, a petition to appropriate
such gas works or electric works,
and thereupon the same proceed
ings of appropriation shall be had
as is provided for the appropria-
tion of private property by muni-
cipal corporation"

Comes From England TO Thank
Musician Who Rescued Her

Chicago, ILL.,, Nov. 14.--A little girl
has come all the way from England to
Chicago to hear again the sweet
strains of harp played by young
woman whose wonderful music
brought the small maid back to health
year ago, after she had been given
up as incurable by the greatest ply
;,icians of London.
The little girl is six-year-old Natalie
Fernwood, of Heathcote, fashionable
suburb of London. The young woman
is Miss Clara Louise Thurston, of 1868
Emerald avenue, whom King Edward
called the girl with the musical fin
gers"
Two years ago Miss Thurston went
to Germany to study under Herr
Franz Peonitz, the great harpist. Aft
er a year she returned to America by
the way of Ireland and England. She
stopped for time in Heathcote, and
while there heard of treasured harp
possessed by the Fernwood family.
The instrument was an heirloom, and
was played long ago by the grand
mother of little Natalie. Miss Thurs
ton expressed a desire to play on the
narp, which had been untouched for
years. Her wish was granted and
the instrument was brought forth
from its massive case.
The girls dainty fingers picked out
from the musical strings gentle,
soothing lullaby. and as she played
ever so softly the strains reached
the ears of the little invalid, who in a
nearby room was wasting away from
r disease that mystified the doctors.
A new light came into the child's
eyes, and she asked her nurse to
bring the lady to play for me-" The
harp was brought into the sick room
and Miss Thurston repeated the lula
by. Then she played another air-a
happy, rollicking song from which
laughter seemed to ripple at every
note. The child listened as if en-
chanted.
Play again, please" she said when
the young woman had finished.
The American girl prolonged her
visit two weeks for the little sick girl
When she finally sailed for Ameri-
ca the color of health had returned to
little Natalie's cheeks, and her recov.
,ery was looked upon as certatA
