Cleveland. Nov. 5.-The strike OF
West high school boys and girls
against double sessions and poor
food in the lunch rooms is
gaining in intensity every minute.
Two hundred strikers marched up
in Lincoln high Thursday TO seek ac-
quisitions TO their ranks. They found
sympathy there. even from Principal
Smiley, but Smiley had the situation
so well in hand that he felt there
would be no strike in his school, any
way.
The West high strikers drew up
resolutions at a mass meeting Thurs
day and presented them 10 Principal
Lynch. The committee was told TO
return at p. m. for an answer,
This is what Lynch planned to tell
them
Come back to school. I'll pay no
attention to you until you return to
classes. II you come back I'll take
up your grievances with Superin-
tendent Elson and see what can be
don't. BY coming back you will show
your good faith
After demonstration at Lincoln,
the strikers sent deputations to South

TROUBLE AT HOME

Not an election day passes over
the notorious Breathitt county in
Kentucky that that gang of outlaws,
or perhaps more properly speaking
those gangs of outlaws, do not get
busy and indulge in a little gun play.
"A number of men were killed
Monday and Tuesday and when the
count was completed, the gang left
for home, firing revolvers and terror
izing the citizens.
1T seems rather strange that sucn
q bunch of outlaws as is congregat-
ed in Breathitt county should not
he wiped out IN some manner. The
character of the country makes it a
very difficult thing to eliminate a
Dand of outlaws. but Kentucky sure
ly has enough force at her command
To clean up that nest of men who
hold life and property so cheaply II
Kentucky has not enough fighting
force of her own, to accomplish this,
then Federal assistance should be
called in and war OF determination
conducted 1t is disgrace TO the
whole country to have such a To-
cality infested with such outlaws.
Scarcely a month passes, certainly
not a yea" goes by that feud does
not develope and a number of per-
sons. some of them most prominent
and influential citizens, are killed.
Were these constant uprisings oc
curing in the PHILIPPINES, the gov
ernment would loose little time in
sending detachment of troops to
rout, kill or capture. Such outbreaks
in Cuba would be considered grounds
for another invasion by the army
but in Kentucky they cause little
more than passing comment The peo-
pie have come to the point of ex-
pecting rt,le else in Breathitt county
and they are seldom disappointed.
II would seem 10 be time that definite
action was taken TO put an end TO
out.awery in one of the principal
states in the union. =

POSTAL BANK MAIN 4
-ao ISSUE FOR iart
CONGRESS TO SETTLE

Chicago, Nov. 3.-Raymonu, tne
washington correspondent" 81 the
Tribune. SAYS: One of the most per-
plexIng political questions President
Taft viii be called upon, to meet dur
ing the whole of his first administra-
ton will be the proposition for the
establishment of postal savings banks
The Republican platform of 19OS,
on which the president made his sue
cessful campaign Contained two
clean cut promises. One was tarin
revision on a JUST basis, presumably
downward, and the other was the est
tablishment of a postal savings bank.
No date was set for the redemption
of either pledge. but The Republican
candidate repeatedly declared Tor I'M
mediate action, and both before and
after his election announced himself
in favor OF these two great economic
reforms and pledged himself TO urge
their speedy passage by congress.
True TO his personal pledge, the
president called congress into extra
session to pass tariff bill. The re-
suit of that extra session was woe
fully disappointing to a great many
people, particularly in the west, and
some of them have been disposed ia
blame the president for letting con-
gress alone until the tariff bill was
in conference, and then exercising
his influence on the things left In
dispute between the two standpat
branches of congress. Whatever may
be thought as to the responsibility
for the fiasca, the grave p litical fact
remains that the tariff legislation has
left many thousands of normal Re-
publicans chagrinned, unsettled, and
all but rebellious.
Now comes the question Of the pos
tai savings bank. Once II stood on
It's merits. Now II is tangled up with
with the failure to satisfy the people
on the tariff. Politicians are begin
ming TO ask what will happen in the
elections of 1910 II
they go before the people, and after
admitting failure on the tariff try TO
explain why a Republican president.

can senate have failed after long
session OF congress TO redeem the
further pledge of the establishment
OF postal savings banks. Moreover.

QUAY. A DEFENSE

Recently there was unveiled in the
capital building of Pennsylvania a
statue of Matthew Stanley Quay.
The newspapers of the country, from
one end to the other, took up the
matter and condemmen the whole
thing, and ridiculed the idea of erect
ing a statue TO such a man.
While ne was living, we frequently
condemned him. When he died, we
told wha. kind of character he
was, and held up the usual finger OF
scorne toward those who would cast
laurel wreaths IN his direction. But
now that the other papers have fallen
into the habit of condemning his
friends for erecting in the state home
q monument to him we want 10 de-
fend him.
In the first place. he was exactly

1t is entirely hitting that a statue
