View school house last Sunday
afternoon at which Hon. A. j.
Brewer and Stanley Scarce both
made speeches. Mr.. Brewer
says the latter made a fine talk,
and while no one has spoken for
Mr.. Brewer, the Pioneer will
hazard the guess he did also.
There was an attendance Of over
so present.
The first issue Of the Poison
News, which reached this office
last week, is a very creditable
publication and some wonder is
felt than anybody could get up
so good a sheet in that town.
But a still greater mystery is
how two papers are going to
survive there with advertising
rates as low as they quote.
There must be a graft in the
newspaper business the Pioneer
was never taught.
1t has been stated that the
board of, county commissioners
will cut out the deputy sheriff in
Roman after the first of the
A petition has been in
circulation this week asking the
board to retain this officer here
and asking that VIM. Engle the
present deputy be again ap-
pointed. The presence of a de-
DUTY sheriff at Roman at only $50
Der month is a saving to all
itigants who have business in
his section and it is hoped the
,oard will not see fit to stop the
alary and that Mr.. Engle is
etained IN Office.

Although wimler fans from Pitts
burgh had placed $3.50 that their
.favorite would score a knockout
against Ray Parks. OF Youngstown.
in their six-round bout at Steuben-
Vile last night. the Youngstown lad
had the best OF the argument during
the first five rounds. and only
weakened in the final round. when
Wimler seemed TO have a shade the
best OF il. The preliminaries were
all fought to a draw. but the entire
program OF the evening was pro-
nounced the best ever staged in
Stanton Park.
Goo Stewart. of this city. who
previous to the fight had challenged
the winner. was present at the ring
side last night. and will now likely
arrange a bout with Parks. who,
although no decision was made,
showed up better than Wimler.

LEARNS CONDITIONS
OF WOMEN WORKERS
Roosevelt Sees Danger to fu-
ture Motherhood.

New York, Jan. 23.-Priyations re-
sulting from long hours and small
wages for women workers in the gar
ment industry ARE crushing the flu
ture motherhood of the country" de-
clared Colonel Roosevelt after his
visit among the kimono and wrapper
making strikers.
Colonel Roosevelt visited the strik-
ers at the request of a settlement
worker, who ushered him into a hall
crowded with girls of all tongues. The
colonel had a Enthusiastically en-
phatic expression of anger and sym
PATTY as each case was revealed to
him. This is crushing the future
motherhood of the country" he said
finally. 1T must be stopped"
A little ffteen-year-old Italian girl
piped out: IF they would only let
us sing while we work it wouldn't be
SC bad"
Colonel Roosevelt was 80 impressed
with conditions that he said he would
make further Investigations.

APPOINTMENTS BY HUNDREDS
Taft Will Send Numerous Nomins-

Taft viii Send Numerous Nomins-
tons to Senate.
Washington, Jan. "a. - President
Taft, with just six weeks of his Off
cial term remaining, is preparing to
make appointments or a wholesale
scale. The practical effect will not
be exactly what it would be If the
senate Democrats were not deter
mined to prevent any combinations
outside the army and navy, but there
is political strategy in the plan.
A long list of postmaster nomina-
lions was sent to the senate and If
the president sticks to his promises
there will be still longer daily lists
within a short time.
Political advisers of the president
have been urging him to take advan-
tage of every expiring term among
the minor federal officials.

MAYGOTHROUGH BANKRUPTCY
Charles W.. Morse Says He Is Not

New York, Jan. 23.-Charles w.
Morse, who has been reported recently
as seriously i'll again in Europe, has
just admitted in testimony that he is
not financially responsible and that he
has suggested to his attorneys that
his creditors put him through bank
ruptcy.
The former banker, who was par
doned by President Taft after serving
only two Of his fifteen years sentence
for violation of the national banking
laws, made these admissions through
A. Levinge Whately, a London law
yer.
The testimony. taken at Rapallo,
Italy, where Morse was stopping on

ty clerks Office here.

to celebrities or one sort or another
who proved themselves amenable TO
receptions, banquets, addresses OF
welcome, and w~hat-not, anything to
bring lesser names into print on any
page, tails TO any kite. In short, John
Rawn comported himself as a promi-
nent citizen should. Ever he was the
kite, never the tail. He doomed a large
and growing figure in his little world.
Above all, there seemed something
uncanny In the un%varying facility with
which Rawn made money. There is
no real explanation Of the difference
in money-making power, except that
some men make money and some do
not. Rawn did, without any doubt or
question. Not lacking ability and calm
ness in judgment, and not lacking full
information such as Is accorded those
said to be upon the sacred inside OF
the market, he was In and out of Rub
Der. Coppers. Steel, at precisely the
right time. His oil investments In
California, played up and down In
proper symphony, had made him more
than a million dollars, smoothly,
easily, simply. The railways market
was an open book to him, and public
utilities seemed something he could
gage while others stood and wondered.
There are times when some men win.
Rawn could not lose, whether he dealt
In Ontario Silvers, Arizona Coppers,
anything he liked. He was In with
the pack when, In these last fierce
days Of individual and corporate greed,
1t finished pulling down a republic,
and battened, guzzled at the bowels
of the quarry. He partook with these
OF a broad knowledge of the narrow
ing raw resources of the country, and
was in with them at the death. He
was one OF those to get hold of large
acreages of the passing timber lands.
he was counted with those who sought
the great coal fields for their own; ran
true to scent, with these, the trail Of
monopoly In any commodity which
the people more and more must need.
In the one matter of his relations with
a certain transcontinental railway,
Rawn made a quarter million as his
share of the three-quarters of a billion
taken In sales of mineral lands from
the railways Immigrant holdings. That
the grants had covered only agricul
turai lands mattered little. for when
the sleepy government at Washington
reluctantly took the trail, 1t was
shown a law, cunningly passed a few
years earlier. which barred the repub.
lie. by virtue of a six-year statute OF
Limitations, from recovering any of its
Own propertxL John Rawn often
