The following questions were
asked:

your choice for speaker of the next
congress?
2-Do you endorse the Aldrich-
Cannon tariff law or the Aldrich-
Cannon organization of the senate
and house?
The replies to the first question
which the editors returned would
have settled the fate of the speaker
had the balloting actually been
among the congressional constitu-
encies represented. The republican
editors declared against Cannon

that is looming up over the indus
trial horizon. Slowly and steadily
the United States Steel corporation
is throwing its tentacles into the
coal fields. Miners officials say
that the trust has absorbed $4,000
acres of coal land and is daily
reaching out for more.
The trust hopes to monopolize
coal as it has monoplized the
transportation system on the. great
lakes. The miners know what that
means. The merciless attempts of
the trust to destroy the organiza-
tons of iron, steel and tinplate
workers and the. marine unions are
teaching the coal diggers that they
will soon become principals in the
greatest labor struggle Of the age.

TAFT To MAKE
BIG SPEECH

(By United Press Leased Wire)
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE
speech to be delivered, by President
Taft tomorrow night before the
New York Republican club at the
Waldorf-Astoria hotel is awaited
with intense interest in financial
circles here today. 1t is expected
that the president will take occa-
sion to clear up some misunder-
standings concerning his policy,
and answer the following ques-
tions.
WHEN is A TRUST A GOOD
TRUST?
When is a trust good trust?
When is a trust a bad trust?
How far could the government
go in the prosecution of trusts?
What should be the government
attitude toward the trusts in the
event of adverse decisions by the
United States supreme court in the
Standard OIL and tobacco trust
cases?
What should be the governments
attitude in the event of favorable
decisions in these cases?
How may the republican party
pledges be carried out best by the
administration?
1t is believed here that the presi-
dent will reiterate his statements
that the government should not
run amuck' with prosecutions. 1t
is probable that he will make it
clear that the decision of the SUI
preme court in the tobacco and oil
trust cases will have much bear
ing upon the course of the admin
istration.

PERFEcTlNe MERGER.

The announcement in this paper
months ago that the United Mine
Workers and Western Federation
OF Miners would amalgamate is be-
ing verified. The indianapolis con-
vention has just taken another long
stride in the direction of perfecting
the merger that will mean the as
s embling of nearly 100000 men
under one union banner alone.
BY agreeing to exchange cards,
cooperate in organizing nonunion
districts and extend support to,
each other in times of trouble, the
two big unions have virtually COM
bined. The next move will be for
the western miners to join the A.
+. of L.; then the two bodies win
form a trades department under the
federation, and work out the details
for complete amalgamation.

New primaries At Issue.

Chairman Murray Vandiver, of the
Democratic State Central Committee, has
issued call for a meeting of the commit
tee on May 26 at the Eutaw House. The
primary object of the meeting is to ar
range for the Democratic Congressional
primaries and conventions, but it is likely
that other questions will be taken up.
Resolutions denouncing the Aldrich-
Payne Tariff law, which will be one of
the main issues in the campaign, will be
adopted. The work of the Democratic
majority in the last Legislature will be
indorsed, as will the administration of
Governor Crothers and all other State
officials.
Before the meeting General Vandiver
will ask for an opinion from Attorney
General Straus in regard to the effect the
new Primary law will have on Congress
siona1 nominations. A number ofleading
Republican lawyers hold that the law did
not effect Congressional nominations,
thus placing absolute control over those
nominations in the hands of the State
Central Committee. Some Democratic
lawyers also hold this opinion, but there
are others who believe Congressional
nominations should be made under its
provisions.

oxford Defeated.

Rising Sun opened the base ball season
on the home grounds Saturday afternoon,
with Oxford and won out after see-saw
game, which was marked by rather ragged
work in the field by both teams. Both
pitchers were hit rather freely, but Efing
had fifteen strike-outs to his credit, while
McIntire famed eight of the home team.
Yerkes, who plays first base for the home
team, was so badly hurt in the seventh
inning, by collision with a base-runner,
that he was forced to retire from the game,
and it was thought he had suffered frac-
tured rib. Fortunately this proved in
correct, but his injury was severe one.
