Barred BY FIGURES
Operators Closely Allied With
Railroads, Census Office
Experts Declare.

OF the entire coal output of the Uni
ted States in 1909, the last census year.
nearly one-half was mined by operators
known to be closely affiliated with rail-
roads or Industrial concerns Producers
connected with railroads mined moro
than one-fourth Of the total coal pro-
duction. and more than three-fourts Of
the total production Of anthracite. The
coal mining subsidiaries Of iron and
steel companies produced about one
tenth Of the total tonnage, and those
Of other industrial concerns nearly a.
much.
These are the official figures Of the
Census Office, compiled for the
thirteenth decennial census Of the Uni
ted States.
Eleven concerns. each of which re-
ported 100. 900 acres and more Of anthra-
cite holdings, together held nearly 3
100000 acres, or almost more than one
third OF the total acreage in the United
States; 100 operators each reporting
over 1000 acres, together hold 5,600000
arces, or two-thirds of the total.

Congress Sighted Him;
Hence Cyclone and Flood

The Nebraska tornado and the Ohio
floods were visited upon the people be-
cause Aaron Prioleau has been dis
criminated against by the House of
Representatives-acc to Prioleau's s
own version. Prioleau has been a per-
iodical contestant for a seat in the
House from the First Carolina district,
basing the majority of his contests on
the ground that his opponent was elect
ed because Of the disfranchisement Of
voters. mainly colored men.
A contestant is allowed 5000 for his
expenses. but after Prioleau had drawn
this amount for a couple of times, the
House frightened it's purse strings. All
Of Prioleau's contests have been thrown
out. He has now written letter to
members of the House declaring that
the treatment accorded him caused the
visitation of divine wrath upon Ne
braska and Ohio.

troll can these things be achieved. II
has been demonstrated repeatedly that
the exercise OF authority by the state
is necessary IN the interests OF econo-
my and excellence in construction,
and that the roads in the different
counties shall so connect as TO make
through highways between important
points.
State aid in read building. therefore.
requires that the state have a high
way department, provided with high
way engineers OF established reputa-
ton and admitted ability. that the
roads construction may be equal to
the strain OF constantly growing traf-
fic.
Cooperation by the Federal Govern
ment. especially in the construction
and maintenance OF the main roads
reaching between interstate centers OF
population and interest. must be the
logical result of careful reasoning on
the subject. Improvements which ben

conditions, benefit the nation as we'll.

spend s750,00O this year on new
generating plant to be erected at
East Chicago, Indiana. Work has been
going on since December. The new

capacity of 10000 horse power, but it
is planned that two units of $3.50
horsepower each will be working by
May l. Transmission lines will be
erected to distribute the power from

it is said that the business of the

Company increased 60 per cent in the
last year and that the establishment
of the new power house is necessary

How News is Handled
Out of Capital City

The story is saved and filed away in
the "morgue-" Three years later, the
culprit, who got off on a plea of ego
tistical instability, or writ of allicum
greekum, robs the safe of the Sweet
Evening Breeze Pleasure club When
the story comes into the newspaper
Office, the editor consul's the
"morgue," and yards of clippings
about the previous job are reprinted.
This has nothing to do with the Con-
gress or the tariff, except to illustrate
how the process works Congress and
the police had never heard of each
other until the investigation into the
design of Mayor Richard Sylvester's
badge following the votes for women
parade in Washington on March 3.
proved that there was a difference of
opinion as to whether Chief of Police
Sylvester and his men performed
their duty or failed in such perform
ance.
But when dull days come during
the recess of Congress the newspaper
men dig around in their morgues and
! haul out old interviews with various
members as to how the tariff situation
is looking. These are reprinted with
gusto and new date lines. Forecasts
as to what the majority in the new
House was to have been are pulled out
and compared with Hannibal Hamlins
forecast of how great Douglass ma
iority over Lincoln would be.
The open season in the morgue pro-
vides rare sport. Posses arc sent
through the files ranging about like
blood-hounds. When they get the
scent Of a story they set up a baying
which would make any Uncle Tom s
Cabin manager jealous. They seek
through the musty morgues. shifting
about for something available in the
way Of news. And when they bag
something that looks good they go out
and look us some member of Congress
and compare notes.
1t must not be thought that sharp
practices have a place in these
sprightly activities. On the contrary
it is all valuable work There are
many college professors, who after
long service in the class rooms are
graduated to just such work as this
Some of the higher class magazines
have stats of graveyard watchers
whose sole duty is to hover over new
made graves while they reel off
columns on MY Memories of Senator
Jagg," or something kindred, just as
soon as the subject is released, all
high class work, written in a grave,
dignified manner.
The active newspaper man has not
time for such screeds, except during
the recess of Congress. 1t is in that
season, such as now. when the old
Saxon goddess, Eastre, is regnant in
the seat Of the Congress, that memoir
les of former tariffs. battleship pro-
grams or public building bills and
stories of what will happen if Buckroe
county, Idaho, goes Republican are
written, based on the deep, dark, long
| forgotten secrets which slumber in
the files of the morgues.

Ty Cobb, the famous baseball player,

this city, settled a difference with their
fists in the room of a hotel at Green
Vile. Osborne, a little fellow, receiv-

three men held him or the floor while
Cobb gave him beating.
The trouble began last Saturday,
when Cobbs team of transformers
played Wofford here. AS Cobb was
pitching Osborne, who was coaching
on the third base line, said something
at which Cobb took offense. Angry
words were exchanged and fistcuffs

Cobb later came to me and offered an
apology, but l refused to accept it.
