VII en- Did Enemies
Of Slavery Begin
to Organize Here?

The fight against slavery, which
forms one of the brightest chapters in
the history of Wayne county had its
beginning in the summer or fall of
1903. Immediately after the settlement
of the county, at convention called
the "log-rolling convention"
1t was given this name, from the
fact that the pioneers, who had 40
padded chairs. but must sit on logs in
the forest when they came together
were given notice of the coming meet
ing at log-rollings in the county.
After bitter denunciations of slav'
cry, George Hunt was conditionally
selected as the nominee of the meet
ing for a delegate to congress, and
Joseph Holman, q boy of 20 years old
was chosen to go down to Clark s
Grant, in the southern part of the
state, and find if the people had nom
mated a delegate, and if he were suit
able to represent both settlements.
Thomas Randolph had been ap
pointed as delegate from, "the South
ern aristocracy,' as the people of the
towns of Vincennes, Charlestown anG
Lawrenceburg were called, and as he
was instructed to advance the cause
of slavery, the pioneer Friends were
| anxious to oppose him.
Jonathan Jennings. then beardles:
boy of 81, was the nominee of the
Clark's Grant people, and he wa:
found satisfactory, after some debate
to represent both parties, and tool
their complaint to congress. ~.
This was the beginning of the abol
ition movement in Wayne county, ant
also of Jennings long and honorabl,
career in the state

from the council table. Those lofty generaliza-
tions on theoretic right which shows up brightly
in the darkness of war and were used so effect
lively to contrast the high virtues of our cause
with the ruthless materialism of Prussian power
are somewhat fading.
I'VE had dreamed of the peace conference as
sitting on some shining eminence far above the
rancors and greeds of men dealing out evenhand-
ed justice alike to foe and friends and building
new temple of eternal peace on the unchanging
foundations of ideal right But that was be-
fore the shattering of the Prussian menace. The
peace conference, as it emerges from the glamour
of statesmens phrases and shows us results,
bears very little resemblance to that wartime
vision of better world. Then we heard much of
the sins of the Congress of Vienna. Now we be-
hold our statesmen compelled to produce COM
promises which are in no sense or degree differ
ent from those of Vienna Berlin.
"The peace of Paris, in short, is being worked
out under virtually the same pressures as formed
the great peace adjustments of the epoch we had
been told was over. National egos are exigent
today as ever. War has not allayed their ambi-
tions, but rather inflamed them. The French,
who were pointing out the other day the folly
of Prussia's seizure of Alsace and Lorraine, since
It was dlteIlpt " SIdlt
German body, are now insisting on holding the
Saar valley for exactly the same military and
economic reasons as Germany urged in justifying
the taking of Alsace-Lorrane. If Italy keeps
Tiune it can hardly be pretended to be other
than a concession by the conference under the
compulsion. of conditions. Neither Great Britain
nor France seems to disagree with Mr.. Wilson's
views as to both the justice and the ultimate ex-
pedieney of recognizing Jugo-Slav interests in
Fiume. And finally we have the so-called settle
ment of the Japanese claims in Shantung which
are nothing but the substantial recognition of
Japans power.
'In other words, both Italy and Japan are
practicing the machtpolitik we condemned SC
sternly in Prussia. They are making use of the
unstable balance of power now existing to adj
vance interests of exactly the same character as
were the stakes in previous peace adjustments.
.The new psychology, which Mr. Wilson right.
ly declared was the essential of a new inter
national order, has not yet arrived Let America
realize this and shape her course with regard tc
the forces which acting upon world affairs
However we may hope for the evolution of what
we think is a better system of international rela
tions, and however willing we may be to work fol
it, we owe it to ourselves and posterity tt
! understand the system we must at present dea
with and protect own interests and security
within the conditions it imposes"

RAILROAD BOARD REFUSES
 T] ACCEPT STEEL PRICES
Declines to Accept Schedule Agreed Upon By the Steel h. dustry and the Industrial Board of the Department of Commerce. Administration Had Stormy Meeting With the Industrial Board Representatives of the Food and Fuel Administrations end the War Trade Board

Washington, April 2.-Director Gen. eral Hines of the railroad administra- ton, which is the largest purchaser of steel in the United States, refused to- day to accept the price readjustments arranged by the industrial board of the department of commerce in con- ference with representatives of the steel industry.
 An effort to effect an agreement be- tween the board anG the head of the railroad administration failed although members of the cabinet, the industrial board and representative of the food and fuel administrations, the War Trade Board and the War Finance Corporation conferred for four hours The conference at times grew stormy with the cabinet members finally with drawing to an adjoining room, from which they emerged with a recomncn- dation that the question be re commit ted to the board for further ;onsida-a
 tion. This finally was agreed upon. Members of the conference were re-
 ticent in discussing the proceedings Secretary Gl3ss, who called the con ference, refused to see newspaper lner afterward asd the official stateme"1 concerning the gathering was very brief. As originally issued, it read:
 ''The steel prices approved by the industrial board of the department o1 commerce not having been accepted by the railroad administration, tkt views of both were expressed at the | conference. The views of the indust-

rial board were expressed by Secretary Redfeld, Chairman Peek and other members of the board. The views of the railroad administrations were pre- sented by Director General Hines. The for further consideration
 The statement caused such & furry by it's intimation that the entire ques- dOn of steel prices would be reopened that an amendment was added by Chairman Peek, to make the last sen- tence read:
 "The matter was re- committed to the board for further consideration with the railroad administration"
 Additional conferences wifi te held, it was said, at which the board will at tempt to show the railroad adminiS- tration that the prices agreed upon are not excessively high according to cost figures obtained by the federal trade commission.
 Mir Hines, according to one of the officials present told the conference that the agreement on steel prices reached by the board with the steel in dustry two weeks ago, was made over his protest and was without warrant of law. The director general was re- ported as declaring that no matter what term was applied to the work of the board in it's attempt at price re- adjustments, it was price liking.
