TYPO union IS
PROGRESSIVE
THEY ESTABLISH TRADE EDUCA.
TIONAL SCHOOL WHERE LEARN
Frs CAN STUDY ART. AZ

An educational course for those who
wish to learn the printing trade is be.
ing pushed by the International Typo
graphical union of which Ottumwa
local No. 73 is a member. The typo
graphical union whose jurisdiction is
the United States and Canada is one
Of the most enterprising labor bodies
in the world. It was the first to es-
tablish a home for their aged mem
bers. One of the objects of the organ;-
cation is progressiveness and to in
crease the. growth of the orga nization
which has local in nearly every
American city where there are body
Of men following the trade. The typo
graphical union Is interested in the
trade educational project. A booklet
Just issued from the press shows that
nearly 1900 students are enrolled and
that the lessons-which are given by
correspondence-are sold below price.
The union furnishes what in higher
educational circles would be called an
endowment by paying all advertising
and promotional expenses and giving
each person who finishes the course
from IS up. It is estimated that from
$4,000 to $4,000 a year is expended in
this way by all the typographical
unions.
The booklet referred to contains
testimonials from students of the
course, and from the youth of seven
teen to the veteran of sixtyfour they
say the instruction given is of high
value and we'll worth the time and
money required. This is but one of the
many projects sustained by the
printers union. It has spent million
dollars maintaining home and tuber-
,ulosis sanatorium which Is conceded to
he in the front rank of world institu-
tons for fighting the white plague. 1t
has also pension system for aged
and infirm m embers which costs about
100000 year. The minimum pen
sion is 81 a week; in the larger cities
this is supplemented by the local union
50 that in New York pensioners draw
SIS week and in Chicago 81.

alleged participation in the whole
sale election frauds in this county
continued to arrive at the court
house today. They hurried before
Judge Blair to plead, guilty, re-
ceive suspended jail sentences and
be disfranchIsed for five years and
pay fine Of S. to $25 and costs.
The grand jury today returned 124
indictments, making total Of 752.
West Union, O., Dec 27.-More than
tWo-thirds Of the voters in Adams
county have sold their votes at every
election, according to Judge A. Z.
Blair, who caused the grand jury &C.
ton which resulted in the indictment
OF $50 persons and III convictions.
More than 500 arrests will be made
next week, and it is expected that the
total number of persons indicted will
reach 1000 or more
Judge Blair is authority for the
statement that fully half of the entire
voting strength of the county was
brlbed by leaders of both parties in
most of the elections. He says they
got their price from the leaders of both
parties, and then went to the booths
and voted the way they thought best.
The extent to which the graft spirit
has extended is shown by the fact
that among the ia voters who have
pleaded guilty and have been SEN
fenced is the Rev Isaac Hilton OF Red
Brush, who admitted he took $40. Be-
cause of the minister's financial con-
dition, Judge Blair made his fine
light one, but disfranchised him for
five years.
Judge Tells About Graft.
More than two-thirds of all the
voters in the county sold their votes,
If the information I have received is
correct" said Judge Blair. There
votes were bought and sold as the
farmers have bought and sold their
during the last thirty
five years. And it is noteworthy that
half of the voters of the county sold
out to both sides. They did this, OF
before the election days came
around. ~
Whole System Is Corrupt.
ut is strange, but the electoral cor
upton was a symptom Of general |
corruption. Whenever you find man
Who is willing to give his vote to the
nan who bids the highest figure, you
lave man who is either at heart a
or who has been taught that
'ur government stands for nothing.
md in nine cases out of ten, this lat
er Interpretation Is the one that fits.
I'm Adams county, for the last
hirty-five or forty years. the men have
old their ballots openly. They have
rown into the habit of getting money
or their votes. After a while, this
abit grew accustomed to them, and
hey thought it was all right to vote
or the man who paid hte best.
The situation in Adams county has
cen, as Judge Blair says, the same for
be last thirty-f1ve or forty years.

Next November.

The size OF the Democratic victory
that will he annouced on the morning
Nov. . next will be staggering. Ii
VIII L. clude an overwhelming msjor-
lily In the House of Representatives
and gain of many United States
Senators. Ohio, the Presidents own
State, will be lost to the Republicans.
New York, the State OF the ex. Pres.
ident, will be sweepingly Democratic
Majorities will be so large that the
people will tire at computing them.
Not through Democratic virtues and
abilities but IN sprite of Democratic
blunders and weaknesses are those
things TO come about: not because
there are more Democrats than Re-
pubiicans bnt because there are more
American progressives than stand
patters; not as rebuke 10 this man
or that man in particular but Ms a
condemnation OF many men; not as a
reflection of one policy but as re-
pudiation OF many policies; not as an
evidence ofmomentary indignation but
as voicing the demand Of great and
free people for ligh., for truth, for
justice, for economy, for peace!
What are these bitter Republican
quarrels but attempts in advance to
escape the Judgement which all. know
Is ut hand? There Is mad rush for
safety. Responsible men are posing
as irresponsibles. Old offenders mas
querade rs innocents Sacrifices are
offered up in hope that the popular
wrath may be appeased. There is a
talk even of third term IN the w bite
House for the vociferous and lawless
persons under whom Cannon and
Aldrich and Payne and Sherman and
Dalzell got their strange grip on patty
and country.
In spite Of all this there will be- no
mistake about that which is to take
place in November. 1t 10 no more u
Republican defeat than Democratic

Brltons Eat Our Apples.

Washington, Sept. lS-Anerica n
apples attempt the English buyer.
In proof of this statement Albert w.
Swain, American Consul at South
ampton, reports that shipment Of
apples from Wenatchee section Of the
State OF Washington commanded a
higher piice than any other American
apple ever offered in the open English
market, much of the shipment being
sold at from TO II cents a pound and
eagerly taken at that price The sec
ret OF success, he says, is for the
American shipper to send good fruit,
well packed and kept out of an auction
where combination may control
prices.
