SHALL THE PEOPLE GOVERN
OR THEIR REPRESENTATIVES.

correspondent who has had az
uuusual opportunity to familiariz,
h,meelf with governmental questions
4 various parts of the world takes
,.sue with the following paragraph
trom a recent editorial article which
sppeared in the Outlook:
The American government should

Dy representatives of the people; rep.
resentatives are selected, not to
rule the people. but to carry out the

Il am at loss" says our CORE
sondent, Ito know how the people
can rule the government and still
have representatives. can under
stand that representatives may mis-
represent the people at times, but
the remedy for this lies with the
voters. You surely cannot expect
100000 voters to give sufficient
lime from their busy, workaday lives
to identify themselves individually
With matters of legislation, and to
enforce their will upon their repre-
eentatives as each new issue comes
no for discussion. You might as well
* the people to edit and manage
the Outlook or the Encyclopaedia

corporation. Government by repre-
sentatives is the only practical exped-

can rule themselves. If this method
shall fail. then democracy fails with

should be glad If the Outlook would
tell us definitely how the people can
deal successfully with the thousand
and one questions of political reform
and social justice, unless they dele
gate the power to legislate on these
questions to their chosen representa-.
tives."
This letter represents admirably a
very common confusion of thought re-
garding representative government.
Tho Outlook certainly does not ex-
pect the people to run the govern
ment;" 1t does not expect that the
people themselves will be able to
manage successfully ''the thousand
and one questions of political reform
and social Justice" 1t does expect
that they will delegate to their rep
resentatives the power to deal with
details.
But here we part company with our
correspondent. He apparently be-
ieves that ours is a government by
representatives.; we consider it to be
government by the people through
representatives.. Government should
spring from the people as its source,
and should be administered by the

Whether it is best to make new re9c-

may well come before our minds,

habits, quit smoking and chewing

the same as before after pledging
ourselves and others that We will

have little regard for keeping their
word or making good Il promise,
most people take pride in doing a

Big Coal Mining

mine and no one will dispute Liz
judgement in the matter, his full
report will be found in another
column Of this paper. II further

commercial coal production, n linn
tied amount of stock is offered for
sale, at ten cents per share, ofS 90
each, for n short time, or until the
u,n)uut required is raisel, The
management is confident that with
il Il year after the company get
the mine into coal production that
they will be making 4 profit OF fifty
per cent annually upon the amount
of first investment, and that the
sto-k that now costs ten cents per
share will then be worth fifty cents
per share. 1t is fact tl.nt can
not be denied, that every coal mine
that has been opened and operated
for any length of time in this dis
trict, has doubled in value many
times over after going in coal produ
ction and the coal mines here have
earned bigger profit to owners and
, operators, than have any other
mining or other investments in the
country, have ever made without
exception. What has been done
in the coal mines here for years, is
doing today in every mine in the
district so far as profits are concern
ed and those who make the most
money are the ones getting in ON
the ground floor and buy when the
companies are first organized and

THE PARTISAN NEWS

The day Of tie really partisan
newspaper is at an end; that is to
say, the newspaper which cannet see
any virtue in men who do not hap
pen to belong to the political party
which it is supposed to represent.
says the East Liverpool (Ohio) Re
'veiw. This change has come with
the evolution Of the times and that
is why we often hear the remark,
that there are no Republican or Dem
ocratic newspapers any more. Anc

any fled and no demand, for suci
newspapers, and that is why the,

There was Il time when the news

average newspaper is run ON busi-

enterprise, and the nearer the publ

Want to Buy Roads.

Cincinnati. - Negotiations are re.
ported under way for the purchase
by an English syndicate of the re-
Gently created Ohio Southeastern
System, which is composed of the old
Cincinnati, Georgetown and Ports
mouth Railway and the Ohio River
and Columbus railroad. These two
lines have about 100 miles of main
trackage.
The Ohio River and Columbus,
which was owned by E. E. Galbreath
and his brothers, runs between Rip
ley and Sardinia, Ohio, distance of
about 80 miles. Associated with
them in the ownership are several
st. Louis bankers. The Cincinnati,
Georgetown and Portsmouth operates
steam road from Carrel street, in
the East End to Russelville, Ohio,
short distance this side of West
Union, about 60 miles. This road be-
longed to the Comstock estate, of
Detroit, and last September it was
taken over by the Gaibreath interests.
The basis Of the deal was the lease
for three years, including tho assump-
tion of bonded Indebtedness of $3.50,
| 900, cash bonus of $40,00) and the
expenditure of $4,000 annually on
the property for improvements. The
two roads were placed together in
one system.

DECOYED TO.OUTSKlRTS
Florida Deputy and Sheriff Slain BY
Negroes, Who Are Captured by
Wounded Officer.

Gainesville, Fla.-Marshal C. II.
Slaughter and Deputy Sheriff Charles
White, Of Archer, Fla, were decoyed
to lonely spot near there and assas-
sinated.
J. A. Manning, another deputy,
teigned death and escaped after being
wounded. He shot one of the murder
ers, capturing him and his three sons,
who are now in jail
Marshal Slaughter received a mes
sage that there was gambling game
in progress among negroes on the out
skirts of the town. He deputized
White and Manning, and started for
the scene. Everything seemed to be
quiet, but when the officers started to
reconnoitre they were greeted with a
volley of shots.
Marshal Slaughter and Deputy
White fell at the first fire. Both were
dead when aid arrived. Manning also
fell with wound in his abdomen. He
feigned death, and as the negro assail-
ant started away shot Cain Perry, one
of the number, and at the point of a
pistol captured Perry's three sons,
who were alleged to have been impli-
Gated in the shooting.
The four negroes were placed in
jail. Possible violence to them is
feared.
Ben Stokes, notorious blind
tiger" operator, was shot and killed
by Marshal Slaughter several months
ago. Slaughter, it was declared, was
forced to shoot in self-defense.

Think Bystander Knew.

Martins Ferry. An interesting
chapter was added to the revolver
duel in which two men were killed out,
right, when Robert Scott, supposed to
have been only an onlooker, was held
without bond to await grand jury in,
vestigation on charge of first degree
murder. Two witnesses gave testi.
mony to the effect that they saw
Scott standing in one Of the buggies
with a revolver, and when he started
toward where Philip Smith and Early
Shaffer were firing point blank at
each other, they (the witnesses), ran
away. Suspicion was directed toward
Scott by reason of the alleged fact
that Shaffer, the last on his feet in
the duel, fell to the ground after
Smith had fallen pierced through the
heart.

SAYS HE WAS TRAPPED
WITNESS REPUDIATEs STATE
MENTs IN ARCHIBALD CASE.
Scranton, Pa, Man Admits Judge Pays
His Carfare to and Expenses
In Washington.

Washington, May 11.-At the in
quiry into charges of misconduct
against Judge Robert w. Archibald OF
the commerce court before the house
judiciary committee which is to de-
termine whether impeachment pro-
ceedings shall be brought against the
jurist, Edward ]. Williams of Scran-
ton, Pa, a government witness, admit
ted the reason he obtained a letter
from Judge Archibald in the Erie culm
bank transaction was that he realized
many railroad cases were in Judge
Archbald's court and that Captain
May, who controlled the coal property,
was a railroad man.
In connection with the testimony,
Williams denied all knowledge OF the
contents OF signed statements secured
from him by the department OF justice.
In these statements he implicated
Judge Archibald in various coal land
deals with the Erie & Lehigh rail-
road.
Speaking of his visit to Washington
at the time the statements are alleged
to have been made, Williams said:
81 came hurriedly in response to
telegram from William P. G. Borland.
l was met, l think, by Mr.. Borland,
and we had a good lunch. Then they
took me to the department OF justice,
and the attorney general questioned
me. Later | was given some papers
to sign | don't know what was in all
those papers. After that / went back
to Scranton, but before l left Borland
l told him he had betrayed me. Bor-
land paid my expenses to Washington
on that trip"
Under cross-eXamination by Attor-
ney Worthington, representing Jucge
Archibald Williams said that for years
he had been daily visitor to Bor-
| lands Office and that Borland had in
duced him to make his first statement
duplicating Judge Archibald in the
coal land transactions.
William P. c. Borland and G. &.
Borland, witnesses against Judge
Archibald, will testify on Monday. They
will be interrogated closely as to de-
tails of the trap that Williams alleges
they set for him.

KNOWS ROW
Doctor Was Fooled by His Own Case
For a Time.

It's easy to understand how ordf
nary people get fooled by coffee when
doctors themselves sometimes FORGET
the facts.
A physician speaks of his own exp
rience:
Il had used coffee for years and really
did not exactly believe it was injuring
me although l had palpitation of the
heart every day. (Tea contains caf-
feine-the same drug found in coffee
and is just as harmful as coffee)
Finally one day severe and al
most fatal attack Of heart trouble
frightened me and 1 gave up both tea
and coffee, using Postum instead, and
since that time have had absolutely
no heart palpitation except on one or
two occasions when l tried a small
quantity Of coffee, which caused severe
irritation and proved to zos ] must let
1t alone.
when we began using Postum it
seemed weak-that was because we
did not make it according to directions
but now we put a little bit of but
ter in the pot when boiling and allow
the Postum to boil full Is minutes
which gives it the proper rich flavor
and the deep brown color.
II have advised great many of
my friends and patients to leave OF
coffee and drink Postum, in fact daily
give this advice" Name given by
Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
Many thousands of physicians use
Postum in place of tea and coffee in
their own homes and prescribe 1t to
patients.

FLOOD TOLL GROWS
SIXTY PERSONS IN ToRRAS RE-
GIoN DEAD AND OTHER SEC
TloNs TO HEAR FROM.
ST. SOPHIA LEVEE GIVES WAY
Thousands of Acres Are Added to the
Devastation Caused by Rushing
Waters From the MississIppI-oVe
10000 Homeless.

New Orleans, May 9.-Thousands of
acres were added to the flooded re-
gions OF Louisiana when the levee at
st. Sophia, forty miles above New Or
leans, broke Tuesday.
The country over which the water
is spreading has always been regarded
as absolutely safe from floods. The
desperate fight for control of the stu
alton goes on, with reports coming in
of heavy loss of life and great prop
erty damage.
Sixty persons have lost their lives
in the Torras region alone, and 1t is
feared that when reports come in from
the remote sections that the number
will be much larger. The total area
of devastation to date is 4,590 square
miles. One hundred and five thousand
people are homeless in the section
from Rosedale. Miss, to NatcheZ, and
from Arkansas City to the Red river,
and absolutely dependent upon the
government for rations. These figures
exclude the greatest food center
that from Torras. La. south.
