CANDIDATE. MEARES' PLEA.

candidate for Congress in this
district, in his speech in Lum-
berton last Wednesday claimed
that the Payne-Aldrich law was
a revision downward. In last
Thursdays Robesonian, the is
sue in which a report was given
of Mr.. Meares' speech, was re-
produced an article from the
Baltimore Sun on an effort of
Hon. Serene E. Payne, father of
the present tariff law, to prove
the same thing-that it was a
revision downward; and in that
article it was pointed out that in
his contention that his law was a
revision downward Mr.. Payne
did not state that where there
was a reduction in tariff it was
mostly for the benefit of the cor
porations and not for the peo-
ple." Strangely enough, that
is a little detail that Mr.. Meares
neglected to notice, too. Mr..
Meares made much of the fact
that the tax on sugar was re-
duced and that hides were placed
on the free list; and yet, said he,
you do not get your sugar and
shoes cheaper. But Mr.. Meares
did not stop to tell that the tax
was reduced on raw sugar for
the benefit of the sugar trust;
the people do not eat raw sugar
but the sugar trust uses it. And
hides were put on the free list :?
Certainly. for the benefit of the
great New England shoe indus
try, but there was no reduction
on leather or shoes to make them
cheaper to the people. There
was a reduction in the tariff on
iron ore for the benefit of the
steel industry, but no proper.
tomato reduction on manufac.
tured iron. In the article re.
ferred to these things were
pointed out; and further: "Or
the other hand, there was an in
crease in the tax upon many OF
the things that all the people
use, such as cotton goods, stock
ings, gloves, flor mattings
thread. soap, wire and a Ions
list of things that everybod.
uses and that the trusts hav
monopolized."
So. Mr.. Meares is going abou
over this district loftily pleading
with the people to come to tn
high ground he claims to occup
and to think about these practics
questions Of government. H
rather boardly intimates that tn
dear pee-pul have not bee

MINERS WIN
In CONTEST

About 10000 miners IN the Pirtsburs
and in the Central Pennsylvania or Ir-
sin fields have returned 10 work, after
an idleness OF several weeks. OF this
number about 10000 are in the Pitts
burg district.
All the mines at which work VIII be
resumed have settled individually with
the striking smiuers and the result Is =
complete victory for National President
T. L. Lewis, OF the United Mine Work
ers, as the settlement has been on the ba-
sis proposed by him in his resolution ut
the Cincinnati convention OF miners and
operators, that of 5 cents per ton ad-
vance in pick mining and 5.55 per cent
advance along all other lines OF work
The question OF explosives has not been
settled in most eases, or il settled by In
dividual operators with their miners,
their terms have not been made public
1t is understood that in some cases the
operators have agreed to stand half the
additional cost OF explosives other than
black powder in their mines, and have
succeeded in making their miners be-
lieve that both sides will makeT more
money than in the past. The 10000 min
ers of the Central Pennsylvania coal
fields, who are returning TO work, repre-
sent the entire mining element of that
district.
Eight Pittsburg district mining com
panics, including the Wabash Terminal
or Gould mines, signed the miners
scales.

PUT 1T OUT OF SIGHT.

The proposition to remove the Red
Light district from the heart of the
city has been preached several times
in late years, and has always met
with favor from large number OF
people Some good opportunities
have been missed to bring about a
permanent change, one notably when
Mayor Wright had suddenly abolished
the district entirely Instead of per.
hitting it to re-establish itself in the
same place it could easily have been
ordered to more remote part of the
city, where it would be less CON
spicuous and less harmful to the
city.
But all seasons are good for maxi
ing changes that are plainly dictated
by the interests OF the community;
and there Is no good reason why the
present city authorities should not
take the matter in hand and do the
right thing

Of being least harmful, as it should
be. And when we take in connection
with this the apparent laxity in the
enforcement OF proper regulations by
the police, we have condition which
logically leads to such state OF

of Judge Harmon last week.
Probably public sentiment in the
city in favor of removal is stronger

CHURCH DROPS BIBLE.
Sunday School Work to be Devoted

Owing to the growing lack of IN.
terest in the Bible on the part of the
young men members of the Sunday
school class of the First Congrega-
lional Church of Jersey City the
church has decided to abandon the In
ternational Sunday school lessons
and go in for sociology. Prohibition,
protection, free trade, socialism. sin
gle tax, municipal government, social
betterment and kindred subjects will
be taken up instead. The church is
one Of the largest In Jersey City, the
Rev. John L, Scudder, who has be-
come well known to the Jersey City
public because of his war on illegal
liquor selling being the pastor
The Bible class, as a strictly Bible
class, has been abandoned, and Nelson
Forman elected president of the So
ciology class, and Lester Mehrhof
secretary of the new class. c. e.
Adams, a New York commission mer-
chant, will be the sociology teacher.
There has been considerable discus
sion but no open opposition to the new
church plan. most of DR.. Scudders
members having frankly acknowl~
edged that something had to be done

change.
