Farmers Own the Autos.

Columbus, o., Sept. 1-State
records examined today show that
practically half of the automobiles
licensed In this state are owned by
rural people and it is declared
that great majority of these are
owned by men who are actually
engaged in tllling the soil.
The total number of autos Ii
censed by the state at this date is
81, ,45S of which 9,610 are owned
in the six large counties of Cuya-
hoga, Hamilton, Franklin, Lucas,
Montgomery and Summit. A good
percentage of these owned in these
large counties are licensed by per.
sons residing outside the cities.
There are licensed 3,805 chauf-
feurs or less than one to five ma
chimes, indicating that the great
majority of persons operate their
own cars. Cuyahoga county leads
the list with 5, 1913 machines regis
tered, Franklin is next with 1871,
Hamilton third with LIS.

The Coal Situation.

Nothing definite has been done
as yet by the operators of the
Hooking Valley in regard to an
advance in the price of coal, but
several companies have practical.
ly decided upon issuing a circular
advancing the price of domestic
lump to 81 so ton f. o. b. at the
mines with other grades in pro-
portion.
The circular price for some time
with the majority of the companies
has been $l.35 ton at the mines,
but this price has not been main
tanned. However the demand has
increased to such an extent that
almost all of mines are operated
almost to capacity and it is be-
lieved that the advance can be
held.
1t is probable that an advance
would result in a stoppage of
orders for time, but the major
ity of operators believe that the
advance is justified and it will be
made by some of the companies at
least. For almost two years the
operators have been selling coal
below the cost of production and
they now say that with the in
crease in other lines of business
they should get back some of the
money they have lost in the at
tempts to hold their trade against
the cheap coal from West Vir-
ginia.
A report is current in Pittsburg
that the Pennsylvania railroad
company has entered in negotia.
tions looking to the acquisition of
the Pittsburg Coal company. The
report cannot be confirmed al.
though it is stated that confer
ence was held in the east this
week. 1t will be recalled that
several years ago negotiations for
control of the coal company by the
same interest were under way, but
the agitation against railroad hold
ing companies which later de-
yeloped caused the abandonment
of the plan. Officials of the coal
company would not discuss the re-
port.
The Plttsburg Coal company has
$32, 900, 900 preferred stock and
S32. 600, 900 common stock and
$50, 900, 900 5 per cent bonds. The
total debt of the main and sub
sidiary companies ON December
alst. last was $3l,817, 147' The
company owns l94, 300 acres of
coal land and has under lease 24,-
346 acres of unmined land. The
preferred dividend was passed in
1905. 1t is cumulative at the rate
OF per cent per annum.

Good for Governor Harmon.

Prize.fighting will not flourish
in Ohio during the administration
of Governor Harmon. Arrange
ments were made to pull off fight
in the little village of Lockbourne,
almost in sight of the state capi-
tol building. Two pugs were to
hammer one another until one was
knocked out. Governor Harmon
was appealed to, and promptly
said the fight would not take
place, and notified the sheriff to
stop the mill If it required the en-
tire power Of the state to do it.
The promoters of the fight waited
on the governor and pleaded for
permission to let 1t 60 en-, saying
81, 900 had been expended in pre-
iiminaries. Governor Harmon re-
piled that he did not care If 800,
600 had been expended, there
would be no fight, and 30 the mill
was called off.
Here's hoping the governor will
stand equally as firm against all
other vices.

Woman Suffrage.

Times works wonderous changes
Twenty years ago the cause O.
woman's suffrage was upheld
chiefly by Mrs. Susan b. Anthony
whose sisters in nearly every
station of life, and particularly
those who laid some to distinction
on the score of wealth, condemned
her as visionary and unwomanly,
Today, such is the changing atti
tude on certain subjects, woman's
suffrage is taken up and nourished
in the bosoms of the ultra wealthy
In England, the nobility have
espoused the cause; not all OF
them, of course, but enough of
them to lend the sanction of wealth
and position to the mad strife for
"votes for women.' In this
country two of the best known
woman of wealth and fashion are
striving nightly for the honor and
distinction of leading the fray.
Imagine one of these palace. like
cottages In Newport having been
opened to the rabble twenty years
ago for the purpose of furthering
the cause of the franchise for
women; and at so much per COM
moner, too. Such a thing was un
thinkable. Had one of the rabble
approached a Newport cottage, on
whatever pretense, unless 1T were
to deliver groceries, the sheriff
would have been called to put him
off the grounds. Now the rabble
scuffs its dirty feet over the marble
staircases and $4,000 Perian rugs,
stares contentedly at $25, 900 Rom
neys and Gainsboroughs, jabs
naughty buffers in the ribs, and
generally muses. up the place /;
and all for the sake of the sacred
cause.
Very probably this sacrifice of
the lares and penates of wealth to
the vulgar eye, this obeisance of
wealth to a common propaganda,
is mere obcession. 1t can hard
ly continue for long. Society
(and don't forget the large S)will
soon tire of its. newest fad, just
as the average little girl tires of
her Teddy bear and inevitably re-
turns to the more rational enter
prise of doll'cuddling, Society
will return to its dolls after time.
The suffrage Teddy bear amuses
the danes and damsels of Newport
temporarily; but how long will it
be before they return to less vigor.
Gus pursuits, to the lassitndinous,
aimless. purposeless pastimes that
hitherto have engaged their at
tion? And the woman suffrage
cause will have gained nothing
through their superficial patron.
