MINERS FOR LEWIS
Convention Ballot Shows
Strength of President.
WALKER LOSES IN CONTEST
Delegates at indianapolis Vote to Sup.
port Leader in His Suspension of
Van Horn and Other Indiana OF.
f1ciaIs from Office.

Indianapolis, Ind, Feb. 2-The con-
vention of the United Mine Workers
Of America underwent change over
the week end and to-day found the
Lewis administration victorious over
its opponents, led by John Walker of
Illinois, who was Lewis rival in the
election for the national presidency.
Mr.. Walker gave out statement
that he would not contest the cleo
ton because he believed such action
hopeless. The convention had been
packed against him, he said. The tell
ers' report will show President Lewis
majority to be about 10000.
Test Shows Lewis Strength.
/ The first test poll Of the delegates
came on a motion to adopt the para
graph Of the report of the committee
on officers reports approving the
course of President Lewis and the ma
tional executive board in suspending
President Van Horn and other officials
of District No. II, Indiana, for having
dfsobeyed the mandate of the national
officers to discontinue the strike at the
Hudson mine.
President Walker Of Illinois was not
granted an extension Of time to speak
against the motion and when he took
his seat amid cheering it was plain
that the cause of the anti-Lewis fac
ton was lost.
The roll was called, process occu-
plying most of the day with the result
that in a total vote Of 1851 there were
1.627 approving and 1,O54 dissenting.
The majority for the Lewis admins
tration was 573.
Appeal Against President.
/ President Feehan and other officers
of the Pittsburg district protested
against the action of Lewis in refusing
financial assistance to the striking
miners of the Mercer-Butler field,
Pennsylvania. Feehan appealed to the
delegates to support him in the appli-
cation to the national officers for aid.
The discussion of this matter was
taken up to-day.
President Lewis said 1t was plain
that there should be no further quar-
reling over personal differences and
that the business of the convention
should now be disposed Of as quickly
as possible. He would give All infor-
nation asked for in regard to his atti'
tude toward the .Mercer-Butler strike,
he said, but he would not engage in
pickering with his critics.
The convention now is in its third
week. It will be necessary to elect a
national vice-president and a national
secretary-treasurer on the floor of the
convention, for in the December cleo
ton no candidate received a majority
of the votes cast.

TAKING GOOD

The man who makes good may
not dress in the latest style, but he
gets there with large-size package
of satisfaction when it comes to q
counting up of results.
The man who makes good is the
one who does things as they should
be done.
Ii he digs bitches, he digs them
the right width, the right depth
and in the right space of time.
If he plows or hoes, he does it
better than the other fellow.
# he goes after business he puts
his heart into the going and he puts
the proper energy and enthusiasm
in the work. The result is he gets
business.
If he is a lawyer, he is the kind
that makes the right kind OF work
bring the right kind of results.
If he is a doctor, he devotes his
thoughts to an earnest study of
his patients, and they know it and
tell their friends that he is the best.
If he is banker, he is the kind
who knows how to make money
without hurting his fellow man or
his town.
Making good is the knack of do
ing things right and doing them
now.
The graveyard of failure is fill.
ed with men who could have made
good if they had only tried in the
right way and tried hard enough.
The men we all envy are the
men who have made good.

STICK TO THE OLD FART

Stick to the farm, boys, even if
the old man does make you work
hard and sleep on the floor in the
garrett. So many people are flock
ing to the towns and cities now
who become non producers that in
few years the man who farms will
be the 6nancier of the land and
will have money to lend instead of
having to borrow. There is moth
ing that lends so much dignity to
a man as to study nature at first
hand and old Beck's anatomy at
second hand as she wends her way
to and fro and up and down the
corn and cotton rows. Stick to the
farm, boys, and be independent
instead of with the thousands in
the cities who are living from
hand to mouth with no hope of
the future like you have on the
farm.

FROM COLUMBIA COUNTY
Rev. j. l.. Brown Writes About
Progressive fIagnolia

Dear Journal:-Thinking it not
amiss, | will write you a few lines
about Magnolia, the county seat
of Columbia county.
This is town of $500 people.
1t is on the Louisiana & North
western railroad, six miles south
of Mcneil on the Cotton Belt.
We find n splendid people here,
full of the spirit of get-up-and-go.
They have a $40, 200 oil mill, to
which is connected fertilizer fac
tory. They also have stave fac.
tory. ice plant, electric light plant,
$4,000 canning factory, cotton
compress, $4,000 hotel, four
banks, two newspapers and five
white churches.
saw 90 women and girls peel
ing tomatoes in the canning fac
tory.
The farmers around here are
trying diversified farming. This
land is very poor, but they are
using large quantities of fertilizer
which they buy from the oil mill
at $21 ton.
/ am making my home while
here with Bro. w. w. Boyd, a
large stakeholder and the general
manager of the oil mill and ferti-
lizer plant. He informs me that
their entire output of fertilizer is
taken by the local trade.
| find hundreds of acres of land
planted in beans, tomatoes and
sweet potatoes, but the crops have
been injured by the continued dry
weather this summer. The canning
factory company contracts for all
these crops before they are plant
ed. The bean crop has been can
ned. They pay $50 to $40 ton
for beans, and SO ton or thirty
cents a bushel for tomatoes. To-
matoes are being canned now.
They have a kind of sweet potato,
which they say is unfit for use
here, on account of being too hard
and tough, but which they can
and send up North where they can
get nothing better.
We have very good interest in
our meeting. Four have been con-
verified and two have joined the
church. | will go from here to
Grant county.
Good wishes to all.

THE OLD SCHOOL BIRCH
Protest Against Abandonment of
its Use in the Schools

/
A Chicago school principal de-
clares that the public schools of
that city are training boys to be
thugs and bandits and the police
records certainly seem to prove it.
An Ohio institute of teachers
the other day vigorously applaud
ed state examiners assertion
that disrespect for authority is the
inevita BILE result of a knowledge
that discipline must not be enforc-
ed by punishment.
We talk glibly about times hav-
ing changed since the fathers of
today were very properly brought
up on the birch. But boys haven't
changed a bit.
Who can ever, while life fingers,
forget the old school birch.
But the old school birch is one
of the boyhood Things never for
gotten. Its slender and supple
stem securely bridges youth and
age; it straightens your morals and
conduct all through life; and its
memory is one of the few things
immortal that will go with you to
the grave, as preparation, per-
haps, for what awaits beyond.
Yes, the old school birch made
an impression on tender minds
and other spots which passes not
soon away.
1t furnished your first object
lesson that the way of the trans
gressor is hard. 1t was beneath
the uplifted birch that you first
learned the benefcent charms of
diplomacy which makes statesmen
and controls the destines of nations.
The birch it was which caused
you to walk in the straight and
narrow way, very, very carefully,
or at least strenuously pretend to
sit down more carefully still, with
out any false pretense whatever.
How often and with what ire
mendous seriousness you swore-
under your breath, of course
that when you had got big enough
you would thrash your teacherl
Well, you have long been as big
as you ever will get, but the old
teacher is still safe, Maybe he is
weighted with years and feeble
now and easily thrashed. You
meet him on the street, salute him,
grasp his hand, help him over a
rough place, involuntarily lift
your hat to him, and make the
nearest approach of which you are
capable to saying God bless you.
You long have known in your
heart that not lick in the old days
was amiss. You know you deserv-
ed every one you got-or if you
got any you didn'tdeserve anyway
you deserved lot you didn't get,
so the average was fair.
1t trimmed down and trained
the exuberant zest of youth. 1t
gave you foretaste and prepare
ton for the hard knocks of life.
Squeamish- hearted theorists
have about succeeded in having
the birch abolished from the
schools. New tangled fads and
fancies leave no room for teaching
discipline except in so called NOR
al suasion, that operates on the
average boy as water does on a
ducks back. - Memphis News
