Harry woodward passed thru
the county last week and spoke
at several places. At each time,
he repeated that part of his Cairo
speech when he said, that the
Payne-Aldrich tariff bill is the
best tariff measure that could be
passed, " and he defended his po-
sition as a Cannonite most
weakly. His chief argument
was Little KanaWha Navigation,
claiming that by his position on
the Rivers and Harbors Commit
tee he could do a great deal more
than Mr.. Hamilton could should
he be elected Now it is well
known fact that the next con-
gress will either be Democratic
or progressive Republican and in
either case Cannon will not be
Speaker and Harry's position on
the Rivers and Harbors Commit
tee will last just long enough for
the Speaker to make another APP
pointment, and as the next
House will in all probability be
Democratic Mr.. Hamilton will
stand a splendid chance to sue
coed Mr.. woodward on that COM
mittee. Another thing that
Harry argued was that his long
experience in Congress would
give him a big advantage over
Hamilton in securing appropri-
atoms for the Little Kanawha
but he stated in almost the same
breath that the only appropria-
ton Of any mention that he had
ever got was during his first year
| in Congress. If the people of
the Little KanaWha Valley want
to keep q representative on the
Rivers and Harbors Committee
they will send Democrat Johr
Hamilton to a Democratic Con
| gress, which will convene il
| Washington March 4th 1911.

tons are reasonable and the voters
of the district should require Mr..
woodward to answer yes, or no. He
will go rs their representative if he
is reelected and surely the people
have right to know what their
congressman if going to do. Voters
should cut these questions out and
and when Mr.. Woodyar comes to
your vicinity to speak put them up
70 him and require him to answer
them. Keep on heckling him until
he answers and mark we'll his ans
wers. We venture the assertion
that John Hamilton won't be afraid
to answer them.

Hon. John M. HamiltC n, of

for Congress, was a distinguish

Without disparagement to the

say that Mr.. Hamilton is about

the district. He is a lawyer of
unquestioned ability, able in
every department of this profess
sion.

Cav Stalnaker, Democratic
nominee for County Superintent,
is making things hum in the po-
litical line. He is a campaigner
from start to finish, and we feel
sure that voters can make no
mistake in supporting him this
fall. The Democratic ticket for
this county is the strongest now
that it has been for many years
past. With Mr.. Hamilton, c..
Warren Hays, Gay Stalnaker and
Gran Johnson before the people,
Old Calhoun will give one of the
grandest Democratic majorities
ever given before.

The state of North Dakota has won
the "coal rate case'' A telegram
was received yesterday afternoon by
Attorney General Miller from the
clerk of the U. S. supreme court to
the effect that the upper court had
sustained the decision of the su-
preme court of the state of North
Dakota, in all three cases, which
was handed down some time ago in
an opinion written by Judge C. j.
Fisk.
The coal rate case was an action
begun by Attorney General McCue
during his term of Office for the en-
forcement of the rates fixed by the
legislature in 1907 The supreme
court sustained the law, and the case
was appealed to the supreme court
by the railroads interested, the
Great Northern, Northern Pacific and
500 roads.
The case was presented to the su-
preme court by Attorney General
Miller and Judge Corliss of Grand
Forks. The case was argued in
February and the decision was rem
dered yesterday.
The case is an important one to
the state, as it materially reduces
the carrying charges for Ignite coal,
and the lower rates ought to devel-
op the industry of Ignite mining to
a material degree. The railroads
contended that the rates we're con-

The Brotherhood has taken the DO.
sition that unless all the questions
in dispute are submittet to arbitra-
tion under the Erdman act a strike
on all the systems between Chicago
and the Pacific coast would have to
be resorted to. The railroads today
reiterated their assertion that they
would stand ''Pat" on refusing to
submit to arbitration anything but
the wage demand.

called" said o. L. Dickerson,l assist
ant to the president Of the Chicago
Burlington and Quincy. .'That stage
Of the game is over. It is, now only
a question of our getting together.
The men will readily see that a
strike would be preposterous."
"That railroads are trying to make
light of the situation" said President
Carter. 1T is indeed critical. We
have been authorized by vote to call
a strike unless they make conces
sions.'

timony stricken out but Simpson
triumphed. Andrew Laone Of New
York state, testified that a detective,
Herbert Walker, told him that he
himself wrote tie famous penny
postcard" from Montreal and mailed
it. This postcard was message to
the Russeaus, and was offered in
evidence that Dan Russell on his re-
turn from his visit to Boston had
mailed it.
William Stantial, a Melrose carpen-
ter, contradicted evidence of the re-
spondents regarding work he did on
the Russell house. Said his plans in
cluded a pool room. This corr0bOr-
ates the testimony Of the claimant
and contradicts that Of VIM. Russell,
who denied there was such room-
Following up this advantage, Simp-
son introduced Chas. E. Palmer, a
Melrose painter, who declared he had
worked in every room. Previous to
the time Dan Russell left home he
testified, he saw pool table in the
pool room Of the Russell home. The
attorneys for William Russell made
a hot contest before the evidence wa
admitted. Judge Lawton himself
cross-questioned Palmer, who explain
ed he had seen the evidence CONTRA
dieting the pool table testimony of
Dan Russell and instantly recalled
the claimant was right.
Fred Sackett, police inspector
knocked holes in the testimony Of
the respondent experts. He declared
that one Of the experts had declared
various postmarks on the Ruseau let
ters were bought.
Simpson was blocked today by
Judge Lawton in attempting to get
in new evidence. He is trying to
bring the hearing to a rapid close.
It is believed that this week will end
the testimony.

/ Khartum, Mar. 14-Looking the
picture of health and physical fitness
showing in every line, Theodore
Roosevelt came back today from the
long trail over which he had spent
nearly year in the pursuit Of game.
Thousands of persons had gathered
here to see him, but deserted from
afar that the familiar form and more
familiar smile-made so even to
those who had never before set eyes
on the ex.president of the United
States, by the countless pictures OF
him which have recently been pub

Gus reunion of Col. and Mrs. Roose-

of his party had voyaged for more
than 1900 miles from Gondokoro, in
Uganda, where they embarked on
Feb. 28th. 1t was a wearisome trip,
for there was little to be seen and
the latter part of the voyage was ex-
ceedingly uninteresting, the river
sometimes being mile and half
wide, with mud flats on either side,
where only crocodiles abound, and to-
ward the end Col. Roosevelt display

The white Nile was more placid to.

northwest gale stirred up the water
and threatened to delay the anxious

court has sustained this position.
