Anthracite Mines
In Full Operation

WILKESBARRE, Pa, May 21.-Three-
fourths of the colleries throughout the
anthracite fields were in full operation
today. There were scenes of jubilation
on the part of foreign miners when
they returned to work.
Nearly all the mines were in condition
for a complete resumption of work as
the repsirmen and pumpmen had been
allowed under the regulations OF the
union to remain al work during the sus-
pension period. All the men will be at
work tomorrow probably, but the first
shipments OF coal will not be made until
Wednesday to allow quantity of fuel
to accumulate before shipping.

A LONG distance from here in a
~ far Eastern country there once
n lived very rich King. All
Kings are not rich. you know,
but this one was and his jewels were
the most beautiful ever seen.
But this King dearly loved all the
good things of this world and gave
feasts and dances that lasted for days
without anyone sleeping. OF course, he
could not lead such a life as that and
have good health and at last there came
time when the King could not sleep.
All the physicians In that part of the
country tried in vain to help the King.
He took the medicine they prescribed
and did all sorts of things but still he
did not sleep.
At last he offered a reward to anyone
who could put him to sleep no matter
how II was accomplished. He said to

The poor King was the subject for
many experiments and when he had al
most given up hope of ever sleeping
again there came strange looking man
to the gate OF the castle. He wore a
turban and a long. flowing robe OF
white, and wore around his neck many
chains and strings Of queer looking
beads.

but ] must be allowed to have the

King must obey me in every way"

The probable delay in the adjourn

In making the social side OF the Chicago
and Baltimore conventions more than
usually prominent. The fact that the
wives of many Senators and Congress-
men will have to remain in Washing
ton until after the adjournment of Con-
gress before making definite arrange
ments for the summer has led them to
consider breaking the monotony by
taking in the two conventions. or one
of them at least.

TAFT AND THE SEVEN GOV
ERNOIeS.

Mr.. Roosevelt's letter of accept
ance was addressed to seven Govern
ors, whom he described as "the men
elected by popular vote to stand as
the heads of government in their
several states The governors are
Hadley of Missouri, Glascock of
West Virginia, Aldricn of Nebraska,
Bass of New Hampshire, Carey of
Wyoming, Osborn of Michigan and
Stubs of Kansas.
We find as a candidate for Govern
or, Hadley polled 355,932 votes to
Taft's 347,203. Glasscock polled
13O,SO7 to Taft's 137,S69. Aldrich
polled 1883 to Taft's 126,997.
Bass polled 44,90S to Taft's 55,149.
Carey polled 21,OS6 to Taft's 20,S45.
Osborn polled 202,S63 to Taft's $780,
$50. Stubs polled 1862, 1S1 to Taft's
1926. In these seven states as a
whole, Taft polled 1SO,199 more
votes than the seven governors. He
ran behind only in Wyoming, where
Carey's name was on the democratic
ticket, and in Missouri, which is
normally a democratic state. In all
the five republican states he received
more votes than the governors.
Why should anybody assume that
the seven little governors who polled
fewer votes than Taft are more rep
resentative of republican sentiment
than the president?
The Leon reporter. (Leon, Iowa) 1887-1930, 1912-03-14

are to be purely political and in hts
own interest, and that the govern
ment should not be called upon to
pay for travel for such purposes.
list, eliminating S53,0O0,000 if an
nual customs revenue, and another
to expand the present corporation
tax to include individuals and CO
partnerships having an income Of
$4,000 a year or more have been rat
flied by the democratic caucus. While
the so-called excise tax is in effect an
income tax, the bill is so drawn that
it it is expected to comply with the
Supreme Courts decision against the
constitutionality of such tax. The
effect of this measure would be to
tax every person earning more than
900 at the rate of l per cent on
the excess of $4,000, and it is es,
timated that this tax would bring in
revenue of between $50,00O,000
and $50, 100000 year. BY placing
sugar on the free list the democratic
leaders expect to reduce the price of
the commodity to the consumer about
Y cents a pound. 1t is not likely
that either bill will stand much of
show of getting through the senate.
Under the influence of an elo
quent appeal by Representative With
erspoom, of Pennsylvania, and the
display of four tattered naval flags,
among them the famous flag with
the motto Don't give up the ship"
flown by Perry at Lake Erie, patri-
otto cnthusiasms broke loose in the
house and bill appropriate 100000

trophy flags now stored at Annap-

osition to make this appropriations
was first submitted,' said Mr.. With
erspoon, lit did not have my assent.
But when these flags were exhibited
to the committee and l saw their
torn and tattered fragments strug-
Cling, as it were, to hold together
and apparently breaking away like
the sunlight shadows of cloud
whose glory is about to depart for
ever, I was unwilling to say by my
vote that these emblems of national
glory, these neglected tokens of a
splendid heroism, these sacred rags
of an uncomfortable navy, were not
worth the cost of their preservation.
These flags tell us of day when the
public good was held high above pri-
vate gain, of a day when American
heroes fastened to surrender and to
sacrifice position, place, property,
reputation, and life itself for the
public good, and when they were
never seen rushing with open hands
into the public treasury"
