MINERS CONVENTION
Called for March 23-Recognition of
Union Insisted on.

Philadelphia, March 14-After issu-
ing q call for tri-district conven-
ton at Scranton, Pa, Tuesday, March
23, to take UP the question of a new
agreement between the anthracite
mine workers and operators, the mem
bers of the three executive boards of
the United Mine Workers of America,
lett Saturday for their homes and no
important developments are looked for
by them until the convention meets.
Thomas l.. Lewis, international preSl-
dent of the union, left Saturday night
for Indiana polls, where he will remain
until the eve of the Scranton meeting
Mr.. Lewis before departing said he
was still hopeful of reaching an agree
ment with the operators that will be
satisfactory to both sides.
There was little that was new in the
situation. The committee has left the
city and there was nothing to be
learned here from them. The miners
representatives devoted much of the
day to q meeting which resulted in the
issuance for the call for the conven-
ton. The Sub-conventiOn of the miners
winch has been negotiating with the
operators in the offices of the Reading
60. in this city, made its report and
there was some discussion.
The mine workers declare that they
do not know what action the Scranton
convention will take. The delegates
Will be elected next week and 1t Is
impossible to forecast as to whether
the radical element in the organization
will be i'm the majority or whether the
representatives Of the conservative
faction will dominate the convention.
The call for the convention states
that is is called for the purpose of
hearing the report of the conference
committee" also "for the purpose OF
taking such action as will regulate
wages and conditions of employment
after April !.
President Lewis reiterated his form
or statements to the effect that if any
agreement is reached it must be with
the United Mine Workers of America
and not with the representatives of the
anthracite mine workers.

4 SPECIAL TERM.

Should Governor Ansel order
q special term Of court for Clar-
endon, we hope he will permit
the Judge to try all cases ready
fos trial, and then dispense with
the regular summer term. The
summer term does very little
more than try the jail cases any
way, and in order to save the
taxpayers of the county as much
as possible, he might, should he
decide to order a special term,
put in his order the trial of any
cases then ready for trial.
The cost of a special term
would be about 81, 900. and if the
special term can be so arranged
as it will take the place of the
regular term, it will be in the
interests of the county. Then
there is another view to take Of
this matter, which is, if the &C
cused pleads for a chanSe OF
venue on the ground of feeling
against him, and it is granted,
then the purpose for the
special term will have failed.
Hence, We say that unless the
court is permitted to try all
case, the county will have oeen
put to a tremendous expense
with the purpose not accomplish
ed. But if all cases can be tried
and if for any reason the Be
tilGne case is postponed, the
court will go on to try such cases
as would have come up IN the

DANGER IN DELAY.
Kidney Diseases Are Too Dangerous for Man.
ing People to Neglect.

The great danger of kidney troubles
is that they get firm hold before the
sufferer recognizes them. Health IS
gradually undermined. Backache, head
ache, nervousness, lameness. soreness,
lumago, urinary troubles. dropsy, dia-
betes and Bright's disease follow in
merciless succession. Don't neglect your
kidneys. Cure the kidneys with the
certain and safe remedy, Doans Kidney
Pills. which has cured people right here
in this locality.

gave me great relief and do not hesi-
tate TO give them my endorsement. The
kidney secretions were highly colored,
often deposited dark sediment and
were too frequent and painful in pass
age. Ny back ached nearly all the time
and | had sharp, shooting twinges
through my hips. I finally read about
Doan's Kidney Pills and began taking
them according to dlrecsions. They

It is no Mystery.

According to the Boston Herald:
one of Mr.. Taft's most aggres-
sive supporters, the "Mystery
of 1908" is no mystery, but a
very obvious fact. ':for any one
can see that Mr.. Taft's handling
of the church question IN the
Philippines has won for him a
great body Of Roman Chatholic
support. The Herald adds:
;We take the usual vote of
Boston to mean that the Catholics
here were warm in his support.
Three hundred more votes
wodld have given him the city,
Notwithstanding the fact that Mr..
Vahey obtained here a plurality
of between eleven and twelve
thousand! The usual vote Of the
City of New York must have a
similar meaning and other great
centers of population indicate
similar cause and effect. If the
facts are as we suspect them to
be, they must find general
recognition.
This was substantially our in
depreciation of the result at the
beginning. Mr.. Taft is to sue
ceed Mr.. Roosevelt, not because
he promised to 'clinch the Roose.
velt policies. not because he has
promised = reasonable profit
to manufacturers, not because
he was the inventor Of govern
ment by injunction, not because
he approved the presidents ac-
ton in the Brownsville affair.
not even because Of his personal
suavity and charm, but because
certain religious elements on
purely sectarian grounds were
drawn to his support. Is this
not something that should give
US pause?-)o )ohnstown (Pa) Dem.
