Then he blinds us:
Later when, in summer, thirsting

Cupid butts in, sets US bursting

At the altar.

Mr.. HEDGES.

With the announcement Of the desire
of Mr.. job f.. Hedges To be nominated
for Governor by the Republicans Of New
York this fall at least one issue Of the
campaign is formulated and Joined
That issue was declared recently by state
Engineer Bensel, who said that he would
offer himself on the altar if his fellow
Democrats really believed he should be
their candidate for Governor. But as
for being an avOwed candidate-ncvcr,
Anybody who announced desire for po-
litical Office and solicited n nomination
was an ass. But Mr.. Hedges has his
own side of the issue 10 state Nobody
"is fooled by this coy air Of diffidence
(which some candidates assume" says
he. And he puts in as the first plank Of
his platform the declaration, Il am an
"nouncing my candidacy because ! be-
"lieve could fill the job. and would
like to do it
1t is gratifying TO find that the Repub-
llcan party. through Mr. IIedgcs's
prompt and decisive action, has been
aligned on the progressive side OF the ass
issue. Heretofore Mr.. Hedges has been
too much regarded as an agent, too little
rs a principal His motto has appeared
to be- 81 care not who makes my states
laws so long as | make its speeches
But now he says. II want the job" II
is simple. natural, direct declaration,
and, wanting 1.-The job. he starts to get
IT. THE political crime Of the pres
tent decade is not larceny. but hypoc-
'risy." wrote Mr.. Hedges recently. II Is
the direct rejoinder TO the ass theory Of
Mr. Bensel As n political issue II Is
pertinent and powerful. If IT can be
kept well In the foreground there will
be n pleasant and profitable campaign.

UNTERMEYER WANTS
MONEY TRUST PR0BED
Believes Financial Conditions Are Due
to Concentration of Funds In
New York.

Washington, Jan. 27.-The House com
mittee on rules yesterday resumed its
hearings on the Lindhergh resolution for
special inquiry into the money trust,
with Samuel Untermyer OF New York
a. a witness. Mr.. Untermyer said he
did not appear as sponsor or champion
of the Lindbergh resolution, but he was
satisfied Congress could not legislate in
diligently with respect to trusts or to
a monetary system until the question
OF concentration of the money power
was thoroughly understood.
For that reason, he said, he favored
the proposed investigation provided it
was conducted in a conservative, sys-
tematic, painstaking, non-partisan spirit
with the sole object Of exposing the
weaknesses and abuses Of the system
and as the basis for constructive legis-
lation."
MIR. Untermyer stated that there was
no such thing as a money trust" in
the sense that the word trust" is APP
piled to illegal combinations. He be-
iieved, however, the proposed inyesti-
CATION would establish that the present
financial condition is due to the con-
centration OF funds of great corporations
Ia New York City.

CONFLICT ON MINE WAGES.
Men Want Raise-0perators May De-
mand Reduction at Conference.

indianapolis, Ind, Jan. 27.-Bitumin-
GUS coal miners and operators of Indi-
ana, Illinois, Ohio and western Pennsyl-
vania met in joint conference yesterday
behind closed doors TO discuss wage
scale to go into effect April, 1912, when
the present contract expires, The con-
vention of the United Mine Workers of
America adjourned yesterday morning
until to-day to permit the officials OF the
organization to attend the wage confer
ence. The demands which the miners
took to the operators call for two-year
contract, with increases in wages of ten
cents ton on a mine run basis and
twenty per cent. for day labor about
the mines. The miners also demand a
seven-hour day.
That conditions in the coal industry
demand reduction in wages of miners
was the opinion expressed by several OPP
orators. While the exact stand of the
mine owners is not known, it is said
the operators will demand reduction
of ten cents a ton on a mine run basis,
and a twenty per cent. reduction in the
wages paid day laborers about the mine.

Washington, Jan. 27.--The "hell holes"
of the United States Steel corporation
came UP for discussion at a hearing
Yesterday before the Senate committee
on education and labor on the House
bill which would impose an eight
labor restriction on all government con-
tract work. Chairman Borah of the COM
nittee said some industries had gone
so far as to need federal attention.
From the reports of the department
of commerce and labor on the steel in
dustry," said the senator, sit is shown
that the steel corporation is paying
millions of dollars in dividends and yet
have in their hell holes men who work
twelve hours day, seven days in the
week, and others who work eighteen to
twenty-four hours in one shift. No man
who has taken an oath of Office can
ignore this"
