Intslltgoncer Bureau.
Columbus. July 20.


The only definite result OF a con.
ference in which 20 coal operators
and railroad men Of Ohio participated
today was the naming OF a committee
OF seven railroad men and seven op-
orators to whom was committed the
entire project OF readiusting and max.
Ing harmonious the relations OF the
two interests. At least a partial re-
port Of this committee is expected al
a meeting called for Cleveland next
Tuesday
According to the railroad men. the
entire meeting was harmonious. and
they say they are hopeful Of solu-
ton.
OF the railroads it Is said that they
would prefer to have the entire mat.
ter adjusted by the Interstate Com
merce Commission.
Increase DiHerential.
The coal men say that the dineren-
tal against the West virginia fields
must be increased. The railroads
point out that when this is done the
West Virginia and Pennsylvania sit
ua'ions are disturbed. and the sub
ject then becomes interstate.
one prominent railroad man said
The coal men must realize that they
cannot shut down their mines for
months together without disorganiz-
ing business. While their mines
were closed other operators stepped
IN and got the business"
Both sides. however. expressed a
hope that some adjustment might be
reached before the present fall trade
is over. u was reported that the on
orators would get behind the coal mi.
ners who were not represented IN
their complaint 10 the utilities com
mission, but they would not admit
that this is true.

Hurrah for Edwin

In the coming election there
will be no little amount of cam
paigning. The Republicans have
for their standard bearer the
brainiest man in Kentucky. Not
only is he all this, but he will
measure up with any man on the
stump. Will he win? Well, we
say yes; this is our yer. We
have to have some one that viii

Did you ever stop to think OF
the meaning of the word brother?
Did it ever occur to you what the
brotherhood of men stands for?
1t is this they are bound to each
other by somekind of an obliga-
ton, that is as solemn as that
which is administered to the ru-
lers of Nations, and yet withal
some men are so small that they
soon forget all this, and go right
the other way when he is, if he
would stop and think, when ask
ed so to do, bound by the ties of

Will it Ever Happen

There is talk of passing a law
in the State of Ohio, to require
school children to memorize
America" and The Star Span
gled Banner.
The idea is to foster a National
Spirit among the school children
by committing to their memory
the principal patriotic songs, but
10 and behold, the Rev. Micheal
J. Ryan, assistant principal of
ST. Xaviers' parochial scoOl, is
up in arms against it.
Is it not rather strange that
this class of pretended christians
should make America their home
and then object to everything
that will tend to Americanize the
school children and teach them
TO be patriotic?
If we had our way about it.
and we believe that il would be
the correct way too, every one
that objected to teaching patriot
ism in our schools, and in Ameri-
ca, would have 10 pack up their
grips and get out Of America,
we certainly would never see OF
allow America to be Romanized.

it is necessary for us to collect
what is due the Advocate and you
know how much you owe, we
have been going since September
the first 1913. and now as things
have gone the way they have we
will have to have the money for
the Advocate, if you owe your
subscription send it in and renew

you need the Advocate.

make it worth your while and
your money; please let us have
your support, and we will be
greatful for the favor
If you have anything that you
wish the public to know send il
right in to US and we will be glad
to have it set up and run in the
columns of this paper.
We will have three more issues

the entire State ticket will win

As there is only one County
race, it is easy to say that we
will have no running by anyone
against the nominee for that
place and every one can pull for
the straight ticket this fall. And
all should do so. Eet US all lay

Hon. James ID. Black.

The returns show that Hon.
James ID. Black. of this city, is
the nominee of the Democratic
party for the office of Lieutenant
Governor, We congratulate Mr..
Black on this victory. The Dem
ocrats of this state did all they
could. or at least some of them,
to count him out, but this was
impossible for he had gone too
far ahead of his opponent for
that.
James D. Black, it is true, is a
mountain man, reared among the
hills, but there is no more manli-
er man than he. He should have
been the nominee of his party
for Governor. He is a Demo
crat because he believes in its
principals, not for the hope OF
fee or reward. Had he been 9
Republican, he long since would
have been honored To a seat in
Congress. The mountain people
have learned to love Judge Black.
