That the coal barons have again

their previous failure is now plain

strikers. tryin gthem before petty

Scrap at Golfers.
This was made plain last Saturday
A scrap of some sort occurred, which
no one seems to learn much about,
except that no one appears to have
been hurt. Ordinarily there would
not even have. been report of the
trivial matter, but since the = strike
began the strikers have been conduct
ing themselves SO quietly that the
company officials grabbed this as
preteXt.
Sheriff Acts as Tool. <.
The 'seriff of the county promptly
acted as tool for the company. He
accompanied the superintendent, Nc
Mahons> on a trip through Golfers
wherein they searched the houses of
the workers and took three men,

and Stateo Vingenzo. charging them
with assault.
They were taken before Justice
Glass Of -Wellsburg, and held under
$500 cash bail for hearing Monday
evening They were there, with
about sixteen witnesses, and the COM
pany was represented, apparently, by
thep rosecuting attorney and an as
sistant. The company had several wit
nesses, but after hearing two of them,
and finding that their testimony was
In favor of the accused men, the COM
pany asked for continuance. AND
THE JUSTICE l?l GRANTED TT He
actually held those three men under
$500 bail each, or a total Of 81, 500
after the company had utterly failed
to make case against them. Their
own witnesses hopeIessly eontradieted
each other. and half we were unable
to even identity any Of the three
strikers as the guilty men. tbel
most it wosild have been but mis-

company makes 1t plain that the OBJ
iect is merely to frighten the men and
to tie up the funds of the union in
cash bonds. The willing conpliancei
of the sheriff and the Justice 90 isl
notable. The cases were continued
until February.
Will Go to Jail. ii
The miners have decided to block
the game by going to jail. They are
not going to spend. any more money
in lawyers fees, court costs and cash
boBds. They are simply going to jail
If they are sentenced, depending upon
the rank injustice OF the whole pro
ceeding to call public attention to the
case.
This was decided at a meeting Of
theu Mon last Tuesday.
If the county permits its officials
to prostitute the law and the courts
to prosecute us at the orders of a
coal company, then we will let the
county feed us. There are enough of
US to fill all the Jail space the county
can provide"
That the men are winning. and that
the company is becoming desperate
is assured from the change in tactics.

pARENTAL REspONsIRILIrY.

THE trustees OF the Delaware College for Wo-
men in Newark, fortunate in having OBJ
tanned for dean Of that institution woman so highly
recommended for the position is Miss Winifred j.
Robinson OF Vassar College. She should have splen-
did opportunity here to add the enyiabe reputation
she already has established educator of young
women. She will start with institution that
has past It's future will be what she ard other
members Of the faculty make It, aided by the hearty
cooperation of the right-thinkng people of our
State In this connection it should be borne in mind
that Delaware parents have highly mportan- re-
sponsbility in this matter They in a position
make or mar the administration of Miss Robinson
to the extent which they send o. fell to send their
daughters to the college to be educated.
Old Delaware College has suffered untold injury
through that only too practice of Dolawar-
higher education. Only for that practice. long per-
sisted I'm, Delaware College perhaps would have be-
come of the most popular and prosperous insti-
tutions in the East It's chief drawback has been a
lack Of home support that has hampered and dwarfed
the work of splendid faculties which would have pro-
duced much greater results had they been backed
by Delaware parents as they deserved to be.
Let hope that the new Delaware College for
Women and Miss Robinson. its first DEAN will not be
compelled to labor under the disadvantages of that
same handicap. The fact should be driven home into
the minds of all Deawarenns who have daughters in
need Of higher education that II the new college be

.50-POUND PARCEL
LIMIT TO GO
INTOEFFECTJAN.l |
Books Nay Be NAILED as i. ell
as Merchandise Under
New Order

Two official orders, widening the
scope of the parcel post system,
have been received by Postmaster
James j. English. The one, in effect
January 1, changes the weight limit
from twenty to fifty pounds, and the
other, to be inaugurated March i6,
permits mailing of books, which have
been considered third class mail in
the PAST, but which can be sent after
March 16 by parcel post as fourth
class matter, and at a much cheaper
rate than at present.
Due to the busy holiday season,
Postmaster English will announce
more complete particulars later.
With these new orders will come a
change of zones, including additional
territory to be covered under certain
rates. A table is now being prepared
which will be given to the public
within the next ten days. The weight
changes are effective on and after
January l, as follows;
From twenty to fifty pounds in the
first and second zones, and from
eleven to twenty pounds in the third,
fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth
zones. The changes in the weight
limit have been anticipated for a long
time, but the order placing books on
tile parcel post schedule came as a
big and agreeable surprise. Publish
.eis are now making large shipments
by express because to mail books re-
quires great expenditures.
VIII Reduce Book Mailing.
The present rate for books is ]
cent for every ounces. The new or
der will permit shipment OF books
in fifty-pound lots at parcel post
rates. The new schedule will also in
clude lower rates for packages
weighing more than four ounces in
the third, fourth, fifth and sixth
zones.

THE OLD LINE FENCE.
zigza0sipv o it went

Zigzaogipg it went
On the line Of the farm,
And the trouble IL caused
Was often quite warm,
The Old Line Fence
1t was changed every year
BY decree of the court,
To which, when worn out
Our sires would resort,
With the Old Line Fence.
In hoeing their corn,
When the sun, too. was hot,
They surely would jaw,
Punch or claw, when they got
To the Old Line Fence.
In dividing the lands,
IL fulfilled no desires.
But answered quite well
In dividing cur sires,
This Old Line Fence.
Though sometimes In this
Il would happen to fail,
When, with ton rail in hand,
One would flare up and scale
The Old Line Fence.
Then the conflict was sharp
On debatable ground
And the fertile soil there
Would be mussed far around
The Old Line Fence.
1t was shifted so oft
That no flowers there grew
What frownings and clods,
And what words were shot
through
The Old Line Fence,
Our sires through the day
There would quarrel or fight,
With a vigOr or vim,
But twas different at night
BY the Old Line Fence.
The fairest maid there
You would have described
That ever leaned soft
On the opposite side
OF An Old Line Fence.
Where our fathers built hate
There we huilaed our love,
Breathed our VOWS to be true
With our hsn1s raised above
The old Line Fence.
It's place migh' he changed,
But there we would meet
With cur heads through the
ralis,
And with dsses most sw ef.
At the O'd Limo Fence
II was love m'de the change,
And the clas-irg of hands
Ending ages of hate.
And between us now stands
Not a sign of Line Fence
No debatable ground
Now enkindles alarms.
I've the girl | met there
And, well, both of the farms,
And no Line Fence.

Webb Bill
Becomes a Law Despite the
Veto of President Taft.

Washington, Marca Fol
lowing the example of the Sen
ate, the House this morning by
vote OF pa to o5 overrode the
veto OF President Taft on the
Webb bill to prohibit the ship
ment of liquor into dry States.
The Senate yesterday afternoon
passed the bill over the veto by
a vote of G3 to 81, and the meas
ure now becomes a law despite
the objections of the President.
President Taft based his veto
almost entirely upon the ground
that the bill was unconstitu-
tional in that it virtually dele
gated to the States control of
interstate traffic in liquor when
he held, that control was vest
ed solely in Congress. Attor.
ney General Wickersham had
given an opinion also holding
the bill unconstitutional, and
that the President forwarded to
tho Senate yesterday with his
veto message.
Supporters of the bill say it
will make effective the prohibit.
ton laws of dry" States,
which, they say, now are violat-
ed because intoxicants are ship
ped in to private individuals and
have the effect of multiplying
the local laws.
