UNION OFFICIAL Shot
AS Result of Differences With
Members of His Local,
1t is Said.
FOUR MEN CAPTURED
But Two Of Them Make Their
Escape and Other Two,
are Rescued.
FOUR MEN CAPTURED

CHARLESTON. oct. 2s-while
asleep in his bed, Sherman Cook,
president of the local miners union
at Jarrold's Valley, was shot late
last night by ONE unknown person.
He is now in the sheltering Arms
hospital, but he is believed not to be
fatally injured.
Personal differences with some OF
his fellow workers is believed to
have been the cause of the shooting.
While investigating some shoot
ing near Messy, Fayette county, late
last night. four watchmen under
Captain Fred Nv. Lester, now EN-
ployed as chief of the watchmen at
the head Of Paint creek, we're cap
tured by about thirty miners.
While the captors were taking the
four watchmen who were unarmed,
to Messy, two of them escaped and
reported TO Captain Lester the action
OF the miners.
With seventeen men armed with
rifles. Captain Lester swooped down
upon the miners camp at Messy dur
ing the night and recaptured the
other two men.
What the miners proposed to do
to the captured men has not been
disclosed, as they were not mis-
treated, but the speed with which
Captain Lester reached the camp
with assistance, 1t is believed, by the
watchmen, saved them from bodily
harm or probably worse treatment
had they shown any disposition to
resent the remarks Of the miners.
Kingston and Messy are but few
miles apart. At Kingston the solvay
Galleries Company operates. Here
the operators some days ago changed
from yardage to tonnage as basis
of pay, and the men walked out and
are still out. The men have been
holding meetings and many OF them
are carrying arms, many displaying
an ugly disposition as shown by
their action in capturing the watch
men.

fair that after the campaign for the
nomination, all good Republicans
should abide by the result. What
is the use Of having primary if it
shall decide nothing? To the ever
lasting credit of Lee, Young, Spooner,

THE FALLAcY OF LOW PRICES
Low prices mean hard times, they
mean that the supply is beyond the
demand or that the people have not
the power to buy. Properly under
stood, the man who demands low
prices would be the most unpopular
of men. Outside of the professions
we are nation of producers, and are
keenly interested directly in getting
the highest legitimate price we can
for our products.
Twenty years ago the Democracy
won an election against Benjamin
Harrison by a campaign against high
prices. They lowered them, but the
American workingman had to feed
his family at the souphouse, while
the farmer had to sell his wheat for
thirty cents a bushel and burn his
corn in place of making it into meat
And it was in that campaign thar
arrison laid down one of the tuest
statements ever made, that cheap
coat meant cheap man.
There may be extravagancies III
distribution; there may be extortion
through middlemen; there may be ex-
cessive profits by the trusts; these
are questions separate and distinct
from that of high prices. They are
questions to be taken up on their
own merits and properly solved. But
a campaign against high prices is
campaign against the producer
Whether he is wage Garner, a far.
mer or manufacturer, the producer
wants the highest prices possible for
his product.
An era Of prosperity is ever an era
of high prices, and an era of hard
times of low prices, and an era dir7
times of low prices-in one money is
so fluid that there is a great demand ;
in the other it has gone into hiding
and no one has the money to buy
with
Correct abuses in the distribution
and marketing of products by all
means, but to attack prices simply
because they are high is an error

Before the special session of the
legislature which enacted the primary
election law was held, the cry was
heard repeatedly that the governor
did not dare to call a special session
to enact such a law as he feared to
submit his nomination to the people.
The party bosses and the interests
were against such law, and the gov
ernor being their alleged tool would
never call the legislature together for
such a purpose. But the governor
did, and primary law was enacted
and he signed it. He went before the
tribunal OF the people same as the

The weather is Of far more import
ance to the farmer than which Or
what political party is in power. No
political party can bring the rain or
the sunshine without which the crops
will not grow. Just now the farmers
of the Red River Valley are thinking
more Of their unthreshed shocks Of
grain and unplowed fields than about
politics. Yet, it is not immaterial to
them, nor to any other class of citi-
zens, how this country is governed.
Farmers as well as others need a
good, stable, just and equitable gov
eminent, without which there can be
no lasting progress and prosperity in
the nation.

Gov. Eberhard received his large
vote for nomination because lie
stands squarely as republican. He
has not wandered after strange gods
for the sake OF winning votes. The
people admire a man who is steadfast
and true and not political weather
vane. Let no one get the idea that
there are no true republicans left in
the state. Eberhart's nomination
proves that there are. And the woods
and prairias of Minnesota will swarm
with Republican hosts before the
ides of November, all fighting united
ly and enthusiastically for the party
of true progress and prosperity.

stuck to, will at last he believed.
There is no truth whatever in the as

established custom in the state Of as
sessing at from 25 to SO per cent of

believe that this basis can be strictly

SAME OLD MORSE IS
BACK IN WALL
Street
HIGH FlNANcIER WHO WAS CIV
EN- BUT SIX MONTHS TO LIVE
Is WELL AS EVER.

New York, Sept. 1O.-The six
months lease of life given by army
officers to Banker Charles w. Morse,
just before he was released from the
Atlantic penitentary, expired a few
days ago. At that time Morse, his
face tanned, his eyes clear and his
step elastic with health, strobe into
his new office on the nineteenth floor
of the Wall Exchange building ready
to begin anew his fight for million.
II am as we'll as ever" he said,
for | have been we'll taken of since
l was given half year to live by the
doctors. l am going to work every
day, rain or shine. I expect first to
settle up some old affairs, which are
now in the hands of the Morse Securi-
ties company, the firm in which am
re-entering the Street"
The Morse Securities company was
chartered in 1908 and supplied with
funds by the bankers relatives with
a view of buying in some of the
remains of the Morse enterprises.
There is a rumor that you will
obtain control of the outside line of
steamers between here and Boston
How about it?" Morse was asked.
Morse led his way into his bare
office and seated himself at his desk
behind a screen before answering.
There was the old look in his eyes
that flashed when he was fighting
President Mellen, of New York, New
Hampshire & Hartford railroad. At
that time he remarked. There will
soon be slice of MelIen in Morse
and Remorse in Mellen"
"You connot expect me to disclose
my plans" said Morse.
Wall street set up and took notice
when Morse was back. He looked
full of strength and vitality and many
of his old business associates did not !
know him. But they remembered |
distinctly that the man who floated
a big steamship merger on the eve of
a national panic probably still had a
fight in him. The principal curiosity
