Surprise at Pleasant Grove School

Surprise at Pleasant Grove School.
The teacher and pupils Of Pleas
ant Grove were treated to a grand
surprise Friday about IL o'clock
when a number of the patrons of the
district came in with we'll filled bas-
kets and demanded an unconditional
and immediate surrender. 1t was not
long until a bounteous table was
spread to which all who were pres
ent did ample justice. In the after
noon program, consisting of reci-
tations and songs, was rendered by
the school. A splendid address was
given by Rev. Reuben Shroyer in
which he gave the boys and girls
much wholesome advice. Remarks
were also made by several others
present and the day was greatly en-
joyed by all present. The school
contemplates holding a literary in
the near future. Those present were.

FOOLED AGAIN.

Our new president was very en-
phatic in his inaugural address on the
subject of injunctions in labor dis
putes. He said: "As to that my
convictions are fixed. Take away from
courts, II it could be taken away, the
power to issue injunctions in labor
disputes, and it would create a privi-
legged class among the laborers and
save the lawless among their number
from most needful remedy available
TO all men for the protection or their
business against lawless invasion"
Mr.. Taft did not talk that way
during the campaign. In his speeches
last fall he assumed to be the only
real and true friend of labor, and his
own injuDctions were defended as
blessings conferred upon laboring men
without their knowing it.
Gompers and other labor leaders
tried last fall to make their fellow
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1909-03-11

workingmen believe that Mr.. Taft's
convictions on injunctions are fixed,
which he now admits. Mr.. Taft would
probably be willing to admit, If
pressed for an answer, that Gompers
and Mitchell belong to the "lawless"
element of laboring men.
Evidently the laboring men were
fooled agaiy. in the presidential cam
paign last fall, as they were in 1904
by Roosevelt and in 1900 and 1896 by
Mark Hanna. MIR. Taft no sooner
takes the oath of office as president
than he announces that his convic-
tions as to injunctions in labor dis
putes are fixed.
Will the laboring men of the United
States be able to remember this sig
nificant remark until the next presi-
Dental campaign.

President Taft begins his admins
tration with a deficit in the treasury
amounting to nearly SS7 100000. The
government receipts for the month Of
February amounted to $46,671.709, a
decrease of over $1,6O0,00O as conf
pared with February of last year. The
expenditures amounted to $53 3,229,0O0,
a decrease of over $3,500,000 as COM
pared with the corresponding month
OF last year. The excess of expendi-
lures over receipts for the month
amounted to over S6,500.00O. or about
81 ,900, 900 less than the excess on the,
same side for February of 1908. The
receipts for the eight months of the
fiscal year ending with February
amounted to 1887 1875, ,0C2, a decrease
of nearly $27,6O0,00O as compared with
the corresponding period Of the pre-
ceding fiscal year. The expenditures,
on the other hand, amounted to
SAB, ,946, ,735, an increase of over $31,-
bOO. 900 as compared with the like per-
iod of the fiscal year 1907-0S. The ex-
cess of expenditures for the eight
months amounted to over $50, ,300,0 900.
This is over three times the amount
of the deficit at the end of the eight
months period year ago, which was
something over $27 100000.

INAUGURATION DAY,

Mr.. Taft will be inaugurated presi-
dent of the United States today. For
week now, the prophets have been
busy. Everybory is telling everybody
else what everybody expects the new
chief executive will do. Pessimists
and optimists alike are having their
hour. 1t is ever thus on the eve of a
presidential Inauguration. We are
seized with the contagion and our
only regret Is that the hour does not
call for real prophet, for, truly there
can be no very great genius required
to predict the policy that a man elect
ed to the presidency of this nation
will follow Few men who have not
been long in the limelight attain to
the presidential chair. We know what
these men have done in the past and
we have their promises for the future.
Prophets are valueless save as they
point out unseen problems with which
an incoming administration will be
confronted Mr.. Taft, we think, will
make very virile president. He will
take the initiative more frequently
than some people imagine. He will
be more conservative, perhaps, than
his predecessor, but probably not less
emphatic in his declaration of prin-
ciples. He will not be called upon
to inaugurate a great deal of new
reform work, for that already In hand
is sufficient to keep the machinery of
government busy for several years.
MIR. Roosevelt has plastered the I'm
ion with his policies; Mr.. Taft's work,
in the main, will consist in seeing
that the plaster holds. The new pres
ident's messages to congress are not
likely to make as interesting reading
as those of his predecessor, because
he has not Mr.. Roosevelt's vigorous
style of writing, but that does not
imply less clear vision or lack Of in
sight into the problems of the times.

NEW BUREAUS PLANNED.
Police VIII Establish Departments
of Traffic and Information

According TO present plans, Mai, Rich
ard Sylvester VIII shortly organize three
bureaus in the police department. These
VIII be the bureau OF information, the
traffic bureau and 4 bureau Of pharmacy
and dental inspection.
OF course, that which IS most badly
needed. both by the police department
and by the general public. is the bureau
OF information. 1t Is the intention 10
establish this bsreau in order to relieve
the detective force OF much work which
now falls on Il. especially In the line OF
investigation. Tie detective bureau has
far too small a force for the Work II Is
called upon 10 do.
The sphere Of the traffic bureau VIII
be the regulation Of cabs. hacks. and
taxicabs. II Is impossible for hack IN
spector 70 attend 20 all the miEutia OF
traffic disputes involving the public.
A pharmacy and dental bureau viii be
established 20 wage warfare on the illegal
trade n,cocaine and other drugs. and TO
regulate drug stores, dental ofice,'. and
private sanatcr.ums.
u Is believed that these bureaus can
be efficiently conducted despite the failure
Of Congress 10 make an appropriation
for an increase in the police force. They
viii be organized within the next two

LORIMER NAY BRING PEACE
Designated as Member of Republican
National Committee.
VIII Act Rs Proxy for Representa-
tive LOwden, Who Desires to
Tnke a Rest.

Senator William Lorimer OF Illinois.
has been designated TO act as the Illinois
member OF the Republican National Com
mittee. thereby increasing the radius of
his political activity.
Representative Fraak o. Lowden, Of
Illinois, member OF the committee, has
decided to take a rest after the adjourn
ment Of Congress.
Therefore, he asked Mr.. Lorimer TO ac-
cept his proxy. 1t is the understanding
OF the Illinois Republicans that the step
is in the interest Of party harmony.
Senator Lorimer said:
For some weeks past Col. Lowden and
I have had many conferences concerning
the general political situation in Illinois
I'VE discussed at great length the pres
ent chaotic conditions in the party in
| the State. and endeavOred TO arrive at
/ definite conclusions on means 10 recon
/ Gle and cement the warning elements
'In the progress OF the discussion tho
/ colonel announced he desired 10 take a
| long rest following the adjournment or
this session Of Congress- and asked that
accept his proxy and take up the work
on the national committee.
I'VE considered the results OF the
efforts made during the last session OF
the Illinois general assembly in which
great deal was accomplished 10 har-
monize the conflicting elements. II was
our belief that the progress made should
not be abandoned, but that there should
! be a continuation OF that same policy
/ with a view to uniting the party so as
/ TO present a solid front in the next
| general election.
I'm view OF the fact that I was quite
| closely connected with the movement 10
| establish friendly relations between the
| contending factions, he urged that
should continue my efforts along the lines
/ OF party harmony, and il was his sug-
/ gestion that would more likely meet
with success II 7 represented the State on
! the national committee He therefore
| insisted that / should accept his proxy,
which l have done
I'm accepting this / do so with the
hope that may. in cooperation with the
party leaders, aid in harmonizing the
/ differences which have heretofore existed
within the party in Illinois.
$50 far as ! am concerned, the slate
/ is clean: and hope no Republican In the
/ State harbors any feeling which VIII
prevent him from entering into the spirit
! OF a movement TO rehabilitate the party"
