HONOR WHERE HONOR is DUE.

Oklahoma has fithngly rendered
honor where honor Il due in the re-
election of Thomas p. Gore of Law
ton to the senate OF the United States.
says the Ardmoreite.
Oklahoma has reason TO be proud
OF the men whom she selected as her
first representatives, as sovereign
state Of the Union, to it's greatest leg
islatiye body. They have borne them
selves with honor and have shown
sans puer, sans reproche To the
name of Senator Gore not breath
Of suspicion Of scandal has attached
itself And, weighing this record in
the light Of the revelations on the
past few years, and the odium that
has attached itself to this body as
whole, who can say that it is not re-
markable?
When the announcement of Senator
Cores election to the senate was is
sued to he world there were those
who imagined that the people Of Okla
homa were hard to put to it for rep
resentaiives in that they had sent
man without sight TO the capital. anl
hey doubtless expected that they
would see in The senate chamber from
day to day man utterly unable to
take his own part and that Of his state
as if should be taken Many people
so expressed themselves We are fa-
miliar with the history Of their dis
appointment They found Instead. that
this blind senator was a man of bril-.
liant intellect, profound erudltion and
an orator Of the first rank. Senator
Gore has endeared himself to the
hearts of the citizens whom he has
so faithfully represented. He has kept
his promises and he was reelected
without one single dissenting Demo
cratic vote.
Those states that can point with
pride to the record Of their senators
are rare, and Oklahoma is fortunate
in that she may be numbered among
them.

What Is the effect Of such adyertls-

Locol Option is Defeated.

The Fair local option bill was de
feated after sharp fight in the
house March 9th. The vote was 66
for the bill and and 1877 against. The
bill needed 1O4 votes to pass.
The fight came on the bill on the
second reading calendar and a vote
was reached after several hours de-
bate.
The Fair bill proposed local op-
ton in Pennsylvania, with voting
unit of boroughs townships and
wards in cities and the right to vote
in district every three years.
The vote followed vigorous de-
bate in which Representatives, Fair
of WestmorIand; zimmerman, OF
Montour; Simpson of Hunting
don; Mcdowell of Chester; Reynolds
of Lawrence, and Dearden, of Phila-
delphia, made the chief argument
for the bill, while those to speak
against it included Representative
Shern of Philadelphia; Flynn, OF
Elk! Nichols of Luzern, and Schad
of Allegheny, chairman of the Law
and Order Committee.
Two years ago the Cravern local
option bill went down to defeat by
lacking just eight votes.

Back Broken in Mines.

Patrick Collins, a brother of M
A. Collins of this place, met with q
serious accident while at work in
the mines at Bernice last Friday
morning which will, if he survives,
leave him a helpless cripple for
life. A fall of rock came down
upon the unfortunate man and
not only broke his back but seri-
ously bruised his entire body. He
was taken to the Sayre hospital
where an operation was performed
and the physicians have some
hopes that he may survive, yet he
can never recover the use of his
lower limbs to any great extent.
Mr.. Collins is still q young man
being only 35 years of age, and
married. The unfortunate man
has the heartfelt sympathy of his

OF King Frost Who Rules With an Icy Ven9ence.

| It's an ill wind that blows no one
any good" is no more truthfully
applicable or in keeping with the dis
agreeable, chilling blasts from the
Northwest, in conjunction with the
freezing elements spending its fury
during the winter months at Laporte
where suffering mortals become con-
tent to remain cold and make but
little effort to overcome it. With
these existing conditions which ado
nothing to the comforts of winter
life here, are to be found the potent
factors of nature, in all its severity,
diligently rendering it possible
for added comforts to thousands
when the heat of Summer makes de-
mands upon humanity. Under these
trying ordeals of arctic life, Lake
Makoma seeks to protect itself By
securely wrapping her surface with
a solid sheet which in former years
only served to amuse merry parties
of skaters and replenish the annual
supply of local ice houses.
This solidifcd, sparkling spring
water surpasses anything of its kind
for clearness and purity, and its su
periority was little known outside
of Laporte until the past few weeks.
The Lake Mokoma Company, re-
cent owners of the lake, realizing
the splendid opportunity open to
them erected an icehouse, having a
capacity of $4,000 tons, near the
breast of the lake and equipped it
with a modern ice elevator at con-
siderable expense in order to handle
the weighty substance more Geo.

was made. Not many car loads had
reached the marketing centers
before orders of 80 and 100 Car loads
began to command the attention of
the superintendent, and he stated
to the editor last week that his re-
sources were over taxed and that it
had become necessary for him to
turn down orders of 100 carload lots

A Good Investment.

The Pittsburg Press calls timely
attention to an important argument
in favor of the proposed Stewart road
across the State.
In view the enormous sum
which would be added to the value
of farm property in the country ad-
iacent to the highway along its en-
tire course, the cost of construction
seems slight" says our contempor-
ary.
In the opinion of the Harrisburg
Telegraph the force of this argu-
ment is found in the results that
have followed street and highway
improvements all over the state,
whether In cities and towns or in
the country Proximity to a good
highway adds vastly more to the
value of the property affected than
the cost of the Improvement.
In no way could the state spend
its money to more practical advant'
age than in the building of system
of great main Highways, such as
this Stuart road is intended to in
] augurate.

of superior ability, notable strength

President Taft has settled to worz.
He is starting his new administis

everything makes for speed.
Mr.. Taft is especially interested
in the revision of the tariff. He is
anxious that congress take quick
action. To that end ne is consulting
with Senators and Represen tatlvn5
whenever he can spare time to do so,
setting forth his ideas and listening
to suggestions.
AT an early hour he is found 1T
his office, and as soon as his callers
are disposed of he gets down to hard
routine work. So far as strenuoU
ness is concerned, Mr.. Taft is not
far behind his predecessor.
The President sent to the Senate
the new members of the cabinet and
other men chosen for official lie
under the new administration. The
Senate quickly confirmed the CALI
net officers
A caucus of the Republican com
mittee of the house has been called
for March 13, at 8 p. m, for the
purpose of nominating candidates

fwill develope wonderful prosperity
1and continue its progress rs the

We look for an era of good will, a

WILL THERE BE A STRIKE
Miners ard Operators 10 Confer This
Week. Results Very Uncertain.

Will there be another great strike
in the anthracite coal district or will
the miners and operators agree to an
amicable adjustment? The answer
is beyond the pen Of any of the
interested parties, but'the great pub
lie of consumers, the party of chief
interest in any such strike, hopes
that a satisfactory settlement will be
reached and that the bitter warfare
of three years ago may not be repeat
ed.
Hundreds of anthracite niue
workers made application Monday
for membership in the union as the
result of the meetings held IN many
places by the organizers and district
officials sent out on Saturday by
President T. l.. l.. Lewis before his
departure for the West. These Of
fetal report that there is large at
tendance at the meetings they hold,
and that the workers are deeply in
terested in what they say. The APP
proach of the conference with the
operators, which starts on Thursday
at Philadelphia, has made the men
realize that they have but little time
in which to become members of the
union before the present agreement
expires.
The organizers are impressing the
men with the fact that they are not
holding the meeting to incite them
to strike, but that they are advocat-
ing peace. They are telling the
men that the more thoroughly they
are organized the better Will be
their chances of securing concessions.
They report that the great majority
are union men at heart but, have
through the past three years neglect
ed to attend union meetings and to
pay their dues. When not address
ing mass meetings, the organizers
are making house-to-house canvass
in the mining villages.
The anthracite mine workers con-
tinue to express confidence in
outcome of the negoti-
atoms with the operators. The
optimism of President Lewis,
is largely responsible for this, and it
it is now being spread throughout
the region by the district officials
and the organizers. The mine work
ers have been favorably impressed
with the manner in which Lewis
went to see the operators, arranged
with them for the conference and
was received by them, and this sec
ton alone has created Il confidence
in him that did not exist before.
They are now telling their district
officers that they believe he will be
able TO secure concessions Tor them,
and a new agreement without re-
course to either strike or a suspen-
sion of work.
This feeling is spreading through
out the entire region, and business
men are considerably cheered by the
prospect. They are however going
to hold back orners, and start no
new work until they are assured by
official announcement that there will
be neither a strike nor suspension of
work.
The result will soon be known
however, and if it he war, the pub
lie may expect to see the price OF
coal soar to prohibftlve figures and
and never get down again to it,
present burdensome price.
