Il do not exaggerate. my friends

not stopped, and stopped soon, the

Representative BarthOldt demanded
what was to be done to combat the
prohibition movement. He partially
answered his query by asserting that
Germans throughout the United States
would be a unit in opposing any en-

ment of the Last Session, and
Similar Legislation.

JOHNSTOWN, Pa. June 16.-Member:
OF Congress were sharply arraigned here
today by Representative Bartholdt OF
Missouri, in a speech at the German day
celebration, for their alleged yielding at
titude toward prohibition and other
sumptuary legislation. He took for his
text Personal Liberty and called or
all liberal citizens to join in a fight to
offset the Puritan cause"
Are you aware that the last Congress,
composed of a democratic House and a
republican Senate he demanded,
passed a prohibition measure by more
than a two-thirds majority? And that
the lawyers. who constitute So per cent
of the membership knew 1t was uncon-
stitutional, and voted Cor it anyhow? 1t
is a fact.
President Taft. true to his oath to de-
fend the Constitution, had the courage to
veto the BILL but the same two-thirds
majority. although they had taken the
same oath as the President, passed it
over his veto. When things have come
to such a pass that responsible lawmak-
ers will overthrow the Constitution for a
popular fad, do YOU not agree with me
that our liberties, for which the Consti-
tuition is our only guarantee, are In the
greatest possible danger?

day, but they were unable to make any
estimate of the number of men who
struck There were comparatively few
union men in the field, they said. but
they believed both union and non-union
men decided to quit.
With the New River district, few
miles away from the creeks, awaiting
only the match to set off a confiagrat1on
of excitement, the state officials today
watched the situation with fear and
trembling. For days the New River min.

break on Paint and Cabin creeks would
precipitate the struggle.
The miners meeting at Eskdale and
Kayford yesterday. according to reports
reaching Charleston. voted to renew the
strike on the ground that the operators
had not lived up to their agreement to
take the strikers back to work without
discriminating This claim and the story
that mine guards had beaten up four
men in Cabin Creek on Saturday, caused
the decision.

slider the sanitary condition OF the

typhoid fever that have developed
among employees OF the Eastern State
Hospital According TO the report OF
City Health officer King. the source
OF the conta sion is apparently not in
the city itself as he says the sanitary
condition is good While. he did not
say that the source was loca ted at the
hospital. he said that only employees
OF that institution have developed the
disease thus far. on the other hand
the hospital physicians say that only
those employees who visit in the town
have developed the nalady and that
the Infection is not at the hospital
In view of this situation the City
Council directed Or. King to request
the State Board of Health to send an
expert here for the purpose of locat-
ing and determining the source of in
lection.
There are four or five cases of ty-
phoid OF mild form among attend
ants of the hospital. most Of whom arc
sick in their homes in town. Citizens
are fearful that the disease will be-
come epidemic and spread throughout
the city II steps are not taken to curb

is not a single case Of the disease in
