INDIANAPOLls, Ind, Jan. 25. -
Whether there will be general sus-
pension Of coal mining on April 1,
when the present wage agreements ex-
pire, depends upon the success Of tho
joint conference Of operators and
mines which went into session behind
closed doors at the Hotel Claypool
this afternoon. The miners are repre-
sented In the conference by the spec
ial committee appointed by the United
Mine Workers. Nearly all of the
mine owners Of Indiana, Illinois and
Ohio arc represented, together with
some Of the independents OF the west
ern Pennsylvania and Wat Virginia
fields. The demands TO be presented
by the miners concerning wsgcs and
working conditions for the future
were agreed upon by the convention
OF the miners' organization which has
been In session here the past two
weeks.

(from Thursday's Daily.)
The fifteenth birthday anniversary

f., the Oldest lodge in the state, will

one Of the grandest events that has
characterized the life Of the lodge.
Over 1925 Elks, together with a few
special guests gathered at Elks Hall
last night to fittingly observe the
natal day Of Prescott lodge.
After the meeting and dispatch Of
business the members adjourned TO the

caused the big audience 10 stop and
ponder over the serious side Of life.
Professor Graham delivered two
redings Of high order and the crowd
called for more.
The speech Of the evening, and one
which was punctuated with a deep
feeling, was that Of Reese NJ. Ling.
Mr.. Ling was one Of the first mem.

able manner, paying n splendid tri.
butte TO those Elks who nursed the

cnt high standing. He paid n glowing
tribute 20 tho honored dead, and 10

his seat amid esrsplitting applause.
T. q. Norris responded 20 Mr.. Ling,
and his address was a dignified esti-

town in this regard it would seem
SO. But it is the right Of every
taxpayer to know how the tax
money is expended, and more
than that he has the right to de-
mand that it shall be wisely spent.
And if there were some of our
citizens who would let our Off
Gals know they were interested,
and would demand the very best
for the money, we would soon
develop a spirit that would get
us what we pay for. In theory
taxation is wrong, and in practice
it can only be made right when
the money forced from the people
lis expended sanely and in a man.
ner that will rebound to the gen.
Eeral welfare.
Have any of our citizens ever
sat down and figured up the a.
mount Of money we pay in town
taxes, yearly, and then figured
it out how many improvements
that sum ought to have secured
for them and then looked about
and saw how little real benefit ii
had been? Suppose you try this,
and begin to think a little along
these lines. fit don't do any
good, it will at least make you
mad and that might arouse you
to a state where you would no.
tice these things some.

There is a general movement
all over the State for good roads,
and some Kentucky counties
are profting byit. The mountain
counties are the ones that need
good roads most, and the ones
that would be benefited most by
them. In Morgan county we
need the illustration of one good
section Of road. If the Fiscal
Court would make an appropria-
ton to grade and macadamize
the road from West Liberty to
Index, a distance Of two miles, it
would be such an object lesson
that the people would demand
macadamized roads all over the
county, and would be willing to
vote the bonds to build them.
Gentlemen Of the Fiscal Court,
why not do this and place yom
names imperishably in the history
of Morgan county as the men who
first gave the county the means
of becoming prosperous and
wealthy county. Try that two
miles and watch results.

trusts under republicanism.

There is considerable talk 60
ing the rounds as to why the two
churches in West Liberty don't
get together and all worship in
the same building. 1t seems that
the Complexities have offered to
let the Methodist worship in their
edifce but they wont accept. Be
that as it may, it's none Of my
business whether the churches
essay to worship under the same
roof-tree or not. In fact don't
care a baubee whether they a.
gree or disagree Whether they
fight each other and let petty
iealousies and narrow prejudices
prescribe their rules of action as
has heretofore been their wont.
What amuses me and the only
thing that causes me to take any
notice of their affairs at all is the
recollection of how once brought
the contending factions Of those
two August bodies together post
haste, like two dear friends, who
long estranged, but who had
at last become reconciled, rushing
into each others arms. But my
erstwhile brethren and sistern,
there Is no need for a repetition
of that action at this time. You
have now nothing to fight but
plain, every day sin, and that's
little thing compared with that
awful menance to your influ,
ence, and perhaps your very
existence as corporate church
bodies, which confronted you a
few years ago when you, like
good soldiers and true, forgot,
for the time being, your own DIFF.
ferences and marshalled your
combined forces and sailed fortl
to combat and to conquer me.

In the spring a number of Nor
gan county boys entereda corn
growing contest. Supt. Barker
arranged for some prizes, but
lately we have heard nothing of
it. Did it relapse into a state of
innocuous desuetude, or is it still
a fact? We read from the news
papers that the boys of other
counties are making good and
showing their dads what can be
done.
What report shall we make of
the Boys Corn Club? There
seems to be a lack of sustained
enthusiasm about these things
here, and that is the reason of
our not having many things that
we could have if our enthusiasm
was longer lived.
