There Is not a defensible point IN
Japan's attitude. Her demands are
as impossible OF acceptance as those

provocation. II Is like stealing into a
mans house when his neighbors are

raised her mailed fist in the manner
she has done had IL not been for the
pre-occupation OF the European pow

lustre to the Nipponese escutcheon:

for granted about Japan: have been

and her representations OF friendly
feelings toward US. II appears that

height Of folly that Japan should ex-

the Eastern Ohio coal strike has FINAL

between the operators and miners OF.

This will be joyful news not only to
the affected communities across the
river from this city. but to the bust
ness interests OF Wheeling. which
have suffered through the idleness Of
the mines In Belmont and contiguous
counties.

Election, May 18th

The above Is reproduction OF

Now the Question:" IL there was
ever a thoroughly contemplate. false
ana malicious proposition II is con-
tanned In the question and last para
graph OF the circular above. The en-
tire campaign for the Smith filtration
system In this city has from the be-
ginning been based upon the expendl-
ture OF money. upon the hiring OF pur-
chaseable lawyers. and purchaseable
political workers. and upon the lavish
payment OF money to workers at the
polls. in the election in which the
endorsement OF one-fourth of the vo-

paign by any single agency in the City
of Wheeling.

profit which Mr.. Smith and his asso-
ciates expect TO get out OF the bond

no unworthy ambition that Japanese
craftsmanship entertains. 1t is just
as proper for the Japanese, conf
dent in the knowledge of what they
themselves have done, to consider
themselves the appointed leaders Of
China, as it is for the United States
to assume guardianship over the
Philippines. There is no need to re-
gard Japanese ambitions in China
as hostile to anybody else's inter-
