JCHY COMMISSIONER,
A. Dale Thome,
The United (states Senate.
The resolution submitted by Mr.
Findley to the committe, Monday, favor
ing the election of President andL nited
States Senators by the popular vote,
was tnrned down by them. He after
wards offered it to the convention, and
it was again tnrned down or "tabled
by the same influences, though it
should have been adopted, as that has,
we believe, been the general sentiment
of the Republicans of this connty for
years. The resolution also was timely,
as the legislatures of Ohio and some of
the western states are at present mak
ing a concerted effort to bring about a
Constitutional Convention on sub
ject. in spite of the action of the United
States Senate, which has time and
again pigeon-holed a resolution or bill,
* passed by the House, to that effect.
The contest now on in the United
States Senate over the Hepburn bill
ought to be and is an object lesson to
this Nation.
Here we see amassed wealth and cor
porate greed, as represented by their
attorneys and agents having seats in the
Senate, (including the two from this
State) endeavoring to nullify and defeat
the efforts of a patriotic and honest
President and those in public office who
stand with him to give all shippers and
the pnblic a "square deal" on freight
rates; and the proposed election of
United States Senators by the popular
vote, would, in all probability, so change
the personel of the Senate, as to make
. the pnblic interests there predominate,
as they now do in the House.
It is a mistake for our County Con
ventions to appoint a ' 'Committee on
Resolutions." "All resolutions should
come from the members of the conven
tion individually and be discussed and
acted upon separately. A lot of stereo
typed resolutions "rejoicing" over
everything, and "endorsing" everybody
do not mean anything.
The present corporate control of the
United States Senate is far reaching.
For instance, the interest of Senator
Piatt of New York in the express busi
ness has for years prevented the passing
of a law allowing the postoffice depart
ment to carry packages over four
pounds in weight.
In England this is called the "Parcels
Post" and is a success, while in Germa
r.y the government controls the express
business.
WASHINGTON NOTES.
Senator Knox made bis set speech on
the Hepbnrn bill on Wednesday of last
week, two days sooner than scheduled,
and he showed conclusively to those
who wish it so that the Inter-slate
Commerce Commission should be con
tinned as a joke.
It was a grand speech, one of the
greatest efforts ever made on the floor
of the Senate but—it was fiction and
sophistry clear through.
One wonders at the persistence of the
railroads in attempting to defeat this
proposed legislation, or rather make it
nugatory by amendments, when the
"government-ownership" idea—Nation
al, State and municipal control of all
the means of transportation, is gaining
such headway in the Nation.
That has been done in Germany and
Switzerland, and both nations are the
better for it? and it can and will be
done by this Nation unless evils that
originated in and with the railroads,
and which are persisted in, are entirely
eradicated.
POLITICAL.
Dr. Martin of Greenville was for the
other fellow when Sam Miller was a
candidate for re-election. Now Martin
wants to be continued as P. M. of that
town and Miller is after him red-hot.
The railroad rate bill has become the
issue in West Virginia poli
tics, this year, and will probably con
trol the make up of the Legislature, as
U. S. Senator Elkins is a candidate for
re-election.
The members of the Ohio legislature
have been busily considering the rela
tion of the United States senators to
the people and have strongly indorsed
popular election and now a new proposi
tion has been submitted tending toward
that end. A hense committee has re
ported favorably a resolution providing
for the creation of a committee to seen
to procure the co-operation of the neces
sary two thirds of the states to secure a
constitutional convention.
DISTRICT ATTORNEY JEROME refers
to Jndge Parker as "a man, I believe,
who ran for President once."
' 'BUY a farm, young man. No matter
how small; bny a farm and prepare
it so that your land will provide you a
living," says the Troy (Kas.) Chief,
"Twenty years from now the man who
owns his farm will be independent, will
have at his command the means of a
livelihood. The expansion of manu
factures cannot go on forever and there
will come a day in this country, as
there has in others, when the supply
will exceed the demand and the only
absolutely sore occupation will be farm
ing. Bny a farm while one may be
had."
The Knd of Dowie.
The house of cards which John Alex
ander Dowie spent 20 years in bnilding,
and which he filled with immense
wealth and absolute dominion, was torn
down about his ears. Monday.
All the leaders in Zion City united in
supporting the edict which Wilbur
Glenn VoliVa, Dowie's successor, ex
communicated Dowie from the church
which he himself fonnded. Dowie was
stripped of all his property and was no
tified that he must return to Zion City
at once to stand trial npon charges of
fraud, hypocrisy, tyranny and the
teaching of polygamous doc-trine?
More sensational disclosure* were
promised ujton this last named count,
for the first time sinco ho appeared
upon the horizon of pnblic interest as a
street preacher in Australia, years ago.
serious charges were made against his
private life.
Dowie's greatest weapon against re
bellious spirits in church was wrestled
trom him when Deacon Jndd, one of
the members of the Zionistic heirarchy,
drove into Wankegan from Zion City
and filed in the courts of Lak,e county
a warranty deed that transfers all the
millions of dollars that are invested in
Zion from Dowie to Deacon Alexander
Granger. The latter at once placed
control of the properties in the hands of
the fiery-eyed Voliva, who has super
seded Dowie.

THE COUNTY CONVENTION.
The Republican County Convention
for this year passed off very quietly and
rery pleasantly. The delegates ans*rere l
to to their nances and handed in their
return n.
Samuel L Rhodes of West Sonbm\
was elected Temporary Chairman, with
H. L. Kelly and T. C. Reams of Bntler,
and V. F. T. Kelly of Firuin as Clerks:
while G. C. Vorons, W. C. Findlev and
W. S. Dale were named as Tellers.
Ex-Prothonotarv Samuel M. Seaton
was elected County Chairman, with
the temporary clerks as permanent
clerks: and H. M. Wise. Jos. Gilkey, S.
L. Cheesman, L. I. Leech and W. R.
Thompson were appointed a Committee
on Resolutions.
It was known that Capt. Ira Mc-
Junkin of Butler and Rev. J. M. Dight
of Cranberry twp. were the nominees
for Assembly; also that Da.'e Thome
had won ont for Jnry Commissioner
and so all the candidates present,
whether nominated or not were called
npon for remarks.
Capt. McJnnkin led off with a few
sensible remarks on legislation, in
which he referred to the dnty of repeal
ing improper laws; and it wonld not be
a bad idea for the Legislature of 1907,
to begin its career by repealing the
whole book-fall of laws passed at the
session of 1905, for some of it is worse
than rubbish.
Mr. McJnnkin was followed by Dr
Pillow. Dale Thorne, W. B. McGeary.
O. G. Mechling, and Capt. Hays, all
of whom thanked the party for the vote
accorded them. Rev. Dight was not
present, bnt his son, John C., spoke
for him, and Jacob Albert made a few
remarks on allowing trolleys to carr}
freight.
The Resolutions.
The committee on resolntions made
the following report:
We, the representatives of the Re
publican party in Butler county, in
convention assembled do hereby re
affirm our loyalty to the principles of
I i n the unprecedented
prosperity of our nation which is with
out a parallel in the history of the
world, and in a great measure we be
lieve is due to the fostering of the
principles of the Republican party.
- We endorse the administration of
President Theodore Roosevelt. It has
been established in wisdom and pa
triotism, and at home and abroad it
has distinctly elevated and extended
the influence of the American nation.
President Roosevelt has been in every
situation the true American patriot
and upright statoman, clear in vision,
strong in judgment, firm in action, ami
has inspired the deserving confidence
of the whole people, and we have full
faith in his rectitude of purpose to
give every man a fair deal, whether
poor or rich. .
We endorse the administration of
Gov. Samuel W. Pennypacker as wise
and patriotic. , .
We recognize the necessity of the
honest co-operation of capital to meet
new business conditions, but we con
demn all conspiracies and combina
tions intended to restrict business, to
create monopolies, to limit production
or to control prices, and we favor such
legislation, federal and state, as will
restrain and prevent all such abuses
and secure the rights of producers, la
borers and all who are engaged in in
dustry and commerce. , .
In the further interests of American
workmen we demand more effective
restriction on the immigration of
cheap labor from foreign lands, the
extension of opportunity of education
for working children, and the strict
and impartial enforcement of all laws
relating to the age limit for child
labor. .
We favor such state legislation as
will give a 2-cenfc a mile rate on rail
roads; give trolley and electric pass
enger railways the right to carry
freight; the abolition of the fee system
in all state and county offices, and fix
ing salaries for such offices.
We endorse the work of our L nited
States senators, our congressman, our
state swiUJtor and our members of As
sembly. . ,
Resolved, That we pledge our sup
port to the ticket tbi# day nominated.
These were adopted without comment
though indorsing "the work of our
United States senators" and at the same
time favoring legislation to prevent
abuses—abuses that have made some
men millionaires and bankrupted
others —was somewhat incongruous.
The Convention then adjourned after
being in session about 1} hours.

Notes.
There was some talk in the conven
tion of endorsing Chas. W. Stone of
Warren for Governor, but it was not
done, and our delegates will go to the
State Convention uninstructed.
The Roberts or "Corrai* Practices
Act" as it is called, seems to have gono
into effect upon being signed by the
Governor, as the Dec. 81 clause was
cut out.
Section 5 of this act provides that all
candidates for nomination at all prir
maries shall, whether nominated or
not, and within fifteen days after the
primary, Sle with the County Clerk,
"a full, true and detailed account, sub
scribed and sworn to" of their expenses.
Every bill paid exceeding ten dollars in
amount wji?6t be accompanied bv a
voucher or receipt-, and the account
must, also, set forth th& unpaid debts
and obligations of such candidates —
unless the whole thing does not exceed
fifty dollars.
These accounts are to be open to the
public for two years, but action op al
leged illegal accounts must be takejj
within twenty days.
The maximum penalties provided for
by the act are SIOOO fine and two yearn
fmprisonment.
Meiiber thi County Commissioners
nor the County CJerk have, as yet, re
ceived blanks for making put the ac
counts tinder the new law.
We place the Republican County
ticket at the bead of first column, this
week; and extend cur sincere condol
ences to the defeated candidate#.
The total vote polled on Jury Com
miftoioofir was 2968 or within 32 votes of
oar guess of 8000.
A committee was appointed to revise
the rules, so as to conform with the
new election laws.
Neighborhood Notes.
That Jefferson Co. woman who, at
tb« age of but 35, is already the mother
of twenty-two (22) children, is doing
pretty well, and she is said £o look ten
years younger. She was marriew at 14,
and as she has had but one pair of
twins, she has been kept pretty busy
since.
3esides shutting off all passes the P.
R. g intends to investigate itself, and
has inaugurated a campaign for the
abolition of what the management
claims is "graft" t&e officials,
and it is learned that the first work pf
the new assistant to the general man
ager, H. M. Carson, will be to ferret
out personal expenses of officers and
employesi which are being borne by the
company through instruction or by sub
terfuge, and to eliminate all this. The
Pennsylvania, in other words, is about
to investigate itself. The board of di
rectors has been informed that through
privileges in the shape of free house*,
service and supplies, some of whicb
have been given by the company and
the rest appropriated by the officers, the
Pennsylvania is being mulcted for ex
penditures that work an injustice to the
&t6cjfl/£ders, and that officers to whom
such privileges have not been accorded
and who have fmide no attempt to ob
tain perquisites contrary to the rules,
are not being compensated for their
qsrvices on an equal basis with the al
leged "^rrafteTs."
After living i-0 days, absolutely cut
off from the world above them, IS
miners, who were buried at the time of
the explosion in Oourrieres' mine, near
Caiais, Frapoe, March 10, were found
alive by the rescue party, last Friday,
which was searching the mine. Thirteen
men were found early that morning
and the other fine later With proper
care probably all of them will recover,
i The miners had lived on the luncheons
brought down by their less fortunate
comrades, and the grain and water
kept for the mules, as long as they last
ed. Other food supplies becoming ex
hausted they were reduced to the ex
tremity of eating a dead horse. When
this was gone they devoured straw and
bark. The men were so far gone that
they had barely strength enough to call
