put him out of business but now the

FROM NEAR HOME.

1
who are arranging themselves against
his administration, is telling shot
at the rebellious faction Of tbe Re-
publican party and Senators Bever-
idge and Bristow in particular. Rep
resentatiye Longworth, being a son
in-law Of Theodore Roosevelt, ought
to be in q pretty good place to as
certain what are the Roosevelt poll
cies and whether President Taft Is
carrying out those policies. He gives
UNQUALIFIED support Of the president
and Of the Payne bill in the follow
ing:
Il am a Taft man-not on the
surface but through and through.
am not willing to use his name as a
cloak for my support Of other men
and of other interests. am not will
ing to praise him In public and work
against him in private. ] am with
him not a part Of the way, but the
whole way, and am sincere when
say that the success Of his administra-
ton is of far more Importance to me
than the success of my own indivld-
ual campaign. II in order to be
elected to Congress- or any other Of
flee l had to repudiate the things
he stands for, whether opposing him
openly or damming him with faint
praise. no office in this country
would be good enough for me.
III l cannot justify to my consti-
tuents nv vote in favor OF the Payne
law" he declared, ri shall be fully
resigned and sliallimake no complaint
Iif / am succeeded in Congress By a
Democrat, A Republican senator has
recently attacked the Payne law and
defended his Vote against It. He
files a long bill OF particulars In his
indictment, alleging certain duties
that he could not stand for, and
most prominent of them are the dut-
les on iron ore and lumber.
"The duty on iron ore under the
Wilson was rs cents a ton; under the
D,nrley law 40 cents, and in the
PAYNE law 1t Is Is cents. Is Is cents
a ton so high that 1t will discourage
importation from other countries, or
have a preceptible effect on the price
to the consumer? In 1907 the duty
was an average ad valorem rate Of
about 10 per cent. If the duty of 70
cents had been in force the average
rate would have been only per
cent. Can any one seriously argue
that a s per cent duty can be Of any
substantial benefit to the steel trust
or to the owners Of iron ore in this
country. or that it can have an even
perceptible effect upon the price to
the consumer. Because the senate
and the conference committee did
not 90 the whole way, was l justified
In voting against the conference re-
mort when 1t went to so per cent Of
the way? '.s.
Take the case Of lumber. The
duty ON lumber was reduced from
/ 50 to $1.25 in the Payne law. The
senator complains Of the duty on lum-
| her because 1t is the material Of
which the homes Of the people are
builded. and because by the making
If mighty fortunes out Of lumber
orr forests have been ruthlessly
slaughtered
"Tae Payne bill provides for a
tariff board, and largely through the
| efforts OF President Taft its powers
| have been SO greatly extended as to
cover the investigation of these Ques-
lions and when 1t may become neces-
sarv to revise the tariff again con-
gress will have, through this board,
the fullest ana most complete infor-
nation upon which to base a tariff

Mi-o-na Puts the Stomach In Fine
Shape In Five Minutes.

If your stomach is continually kick

need Mi-o-na Stomach Tablets, the
best prescription for indigestion ever
written.
Mi-o-na stomach tablets give instant
relief, of course, but they do more;
they drive out the poisonous gases
That cause fermentation of food and
thoroughly clean, renovate and
strengthen the stomach so that it can
readily digest food without artificial

Mona stomach tablets are guar
anteed to cure Indigestion, acute or

The last clause hit directly at the
leadership of Mrs. Leavitt, who lost
no time in striking back at those who
opposed her rule. She promptly
caused the expulsion of Mr.. Holcombe
and those who were most prominent
among his following. The opposition
retaliated by appealing to the courts
foresaid. The result was that they OBJ
tanned an injunction forbidding Mrs.
Leavitt from eXpelling any more
members. AS a consequence the op-
position were enabled to control the
meeting called to act on the bylaws,
which action means the dethrone-
ment of Mrs. Leavitt and the defeat
of. her plans, as alleged, to become
one of the controlling powers of the
cult.

MINERS IN CONVENTION.
Nearly Fifteen Hundred Delegates At
tending the Annual Meeting at
indianapolis This Week:
Herald Specially


Indianapolis, Ind, Jan. 1S.-The
twenty-first annual convention of the
United Mine Workers of America
which was called to order in Tomlin
son Hall this morning, is the largest
in point of attendance in the history
of the organization. The roll call
showed a total of nearly fifteen hun,
bred delegates. They represented
many parts of the United States and
Canada. Nova Scotia was represent.
ed for the first time.
Routine business occupied the in.
itial session. The mayor delivered an
address of welcome and President 7.
L. Lewis responded for the delegates.
The roll call and the appointment of
the necessary committees occupied
the remainder of the session.
The convention will remain in ses-
sion a week or ten days. Tomorrow,
it is expected, the tellers will an
nounce the result of the recent refer
endum election of national officers.
No doubt exists as to the reelection
of President Lewis.
Many matters of Importance are
to receive the attention of the con-
yention. The only strike to be con-
sidered is that now on among the
coal miners of Nova Scotia The mat
ter of mining legislation, both state
and national, will come up, and plans
will be outlined to govern all the min
ing districts in negotiating new wage
agreements.
The finances of the organization
are reported in satisfactory condition,
considering the Industrial depression
it has passed through and the amount
of money spent in aid of the strikes
in central Pennsylvania, Tennessee
and Nova Scotia.
The adjournment of the convention
at the end of the month will be fol-
lowed by the interstate joint confer
ence at Toledo. At the joint confer
ence representatives of the miners
and operators of Indiana, Ohio and
western Pennsylvania will confer on.
the matter of wage scale. The pres
ent wage contracts between the MEM
bers of the organization and the OPP
orators terminate March 81 in all the
bituminous mining districts, with
the exception of the extreme western
states where contracts expire in the
middle of the summer.

SCIENTIST CHURCH ROW.
Action Taken BY Buffalo Church
Foreshadows the Overthrow of
Mrs. Annie ". c. Leavitt.
(Herald Specially

Buffalo, N Y, Jan. 1S.-A factional
fight for supremacy in the control of
the affairs of the Christian Science
church in this city, similar in all its
by Mrs. Augusta Stetson in New York
City, came to a head today in the
annual business meeting of the First
Christian Science church. The action
taken by the meeting in regard to a
change in the bylaws foreshadows
the overthrow of Mrs. Annie Victoria
Cross Leavitt, who for twenty-one
years has been the leader of the Buff
falo Christian Scientists, and who, it
is alleged, has maintained her as
cendancy by reserving to herself the
appointments to the managing COM
mittees, in the same manner that Mrs.
Stetson managed to control the
church in New York for so many
years. The defeat of Mrs. Leavitt,
following the similar fate meted out
to Mrs. Stetson, means another VIC
tory for the directors of the mother
church in Boston in their campaign
for supremacy in the affairs of the
cult.
The causes of the dissensions in the
Buffalo church may be summarized
thus: The insurgents, so-called, led
by Charles Holcombe, member of an
old Buffalo family long prominent in
Christian Science, desired a radical
change in the bylaws of the First
church, which should enable the con-
to have the right to direct
