Tag Day was great success
Strangers in the city yesterday

like the old days when vaccinated peo-
pie wore red armlets. Any one with

by the high cost of living. All the
way from Church Hill TO the Boule-

Somehow, it made some think of the
future days when suffragettes will
WELD the ballot. There were the
dainty boxes, marked with the red
cross, looking for all the world like
ballot boxes. Presiding over them
we're smiling danes of all ages, and
the way in which they braced the
passing population reminded one very
much of the way that smooth poll
tician persuades the wavering voter
to vote the right way" But, happy
omen, there was no semblance of brib-
cry.
The candidates for the City Council
who happened to pass and buy tags
about SIX dozen times inwardly prayed
that they might get votes as easily as
the young women got money.
Boxes were scattered all over the
city, just in the places where folks
were likely to be around. 1t would
have taken a Mosby scout to have
broken through the lines and escaped
from the city without being challenged
by the fair sentinels who We're postea

And the men who have to have spe-

that the present strike of the miners

Increased orders. but will also give

put. 1t was stated to-day, on the
authority of a prominent coal man,
that practically all the operations in
this section of the country lack at
least 30 per cent of working up to
their full capacity, on account of the
Norfolk and Western Railroads in
ability to furnish the required num-
Der OF cars, which the movement de-
mands.
The miners strike, it is urged by the
coal people, will put the railroad COM
pany in position to secure rolling
stock from other coal roads, at least
during the continuance of the labor
