CHINA OPIUM FIGHT SUCCESS
997,o66 Pounds Imported Last Year as
Compared to 100000 Pounds
In 1910.

Washington, Aug. 2.-That the fight
against opium in China is meeting
with success is indicated in a report
to the state department from Thomas
Summons, American consul general at
Shanghai, on the status Of the traffic
In the drug In that republic.
The report shows that 6ere has
been a sharp reduction in the impor-
tation of opium since 1910, The half
century annual receipts of that article
of from about 6,666,OOO to 10,666,OOO
pounds had dropped in that year to T..
714,4O0. In 1914 importations were
only 997,O66 pounds, compared with
2,41S, 400 pounds the previous year,
An interesting fact is that, while
the amount of opium imported has de-
creased, the value increased.

Senator Byron.

! Senator W. A. Byron, of Brack-
en- county, candidate for the
democratic nomination for Lieu
tenant-G Governor, spent Saturday
night and Sunday inS West
Liberty.
Senator Byron is the only can
didate for that office from the 9th
Congressional district. He has
opposing him Judge Jas. D.
Black, of Knox county, and Jas.
P. Edwards, Of Louisville. This
is the same Jim Edwards, who
made the race for Lieutenant
Governor and was defeated by
Hon. Edward j. McDermott, four
years ago. Mr.. Edwards got a
good vote in Morgan county but
did not carry it. After his de-
feat he came out with a lengthy
signed statement in which he
said that his defeat was due in
part to gross irregularities at the
polls in certain counties in the
10th and 18th Congressional dis
trict. Morgan was in the 10th
district at that time and Mr..
Edwards mentioned this county
specifically as one in which he
had been robbed. A more I'M
just accusation never rested up
on a mountain people. There
was not man in Morgan county
who had enough interest in
either Mr.. Edwards or Mr.. Nc
Dermott to do a single dirty act
in their behalf. 1t was a wilful,
wanton misrepresentation and
ought to be severely condemned
, at the polls Aug7.
But to return to our subject.

/. Congressional district. Heis one

Rodman Keenon.

Rodman w. Keenon, of Mercer
county, was in West Liberty this
week in the interest of his can
didacy for Clerk of the Court of
Appeals. Mr.. Keenon has had
considerable experience in clerical
work, having worked in both County
and Circuit Court Clerks offices in his
home county, and also served four
years as deputy in the office of the
Clerk of the Court of Appeals, the Of
flee to which he now aspires. He is
successful lawyer and the present
County Attorney of Mercer county.
These varied experiences, coupled
with natural ability and industry,
eminently qualify him for the duties
of the office he seeks to fill.
Mr.. Keenon's argument that he is
the only candidate for a State office
from the eighth congressional district,
and that that section of the State
should be represented on the ticket
this fall is sound and logical. 1t
would be bad policy for the demo-
Gratis to bunch their nominees. They
should be distributed as much as pos
sible throughout the State. We are
going to need the active support of
all democrats from all sections in No
vember. To get the best results as
many congressional districts as posi-
BILE should be represented on the
State ticket.
We submit these questions to the
voters and ask that they weigh them
carefully when they go to the polls
Saturday.

The question of the amount of wa.

1t was there that divers found the

MILITIA CALLED OUT
WORKERS KILLED BY STRIKERS
PAY WITH THEIR LIVES FOR
REMAINING AT POSTS.
Sheriff, Defeated, Calls for State
Troops-officers Beaten Severely
in Clash at Bridge.

western Newspaper Union News Service
Massena, N. Y.-Three companies
OF the state militia from Malone and
Ogdenburg arrived here and took
charge of the strike situation at the
plant of the Aluminium Company of
America, after a riot in which several
Workmen, who refused to walk out
were killed. Sheriff Day, of st. Law
renee county, who was called to Mas
sena at the first outbreak, was unable
to subdue the strikers. With deputies
and policemen he charged the strikers
at bridge entrance to the plant,
which they we're holding, but the Off
GERS were driven back. In this en-
counter four policemen were beaten
and injured severely. Finding it i'm.
possible to control the 2,400 employees
on strike, Sheriff Day called upon
Gov. Whitman for troops, and the
three companies reached here. The
strikers, barricaded behind the bridge
were charged by the troops with fixed
bayonets and dispersed at once. Later
the troops took possession of the plant
and established patrol, the Sherlffs
deputies meanwhile being sent out to
arrest about 40 strikers responsible
for the outbreak. While there was
promiscuous shooting near the factory
the militia took no part in it, these en-
counters being between strikers anC
employees who had refused to joir
them in a walkout. Representative
of the men declared that their griev
ance was due to a demand for highej
wages which they claimed was no
granted. The factory has been rushed
with vast war orders. officials of tn
company charge alien influence in &c
