SAYS EAST RECOGNIZES
THIS BUT XVEST DOESN'T
In Tills, President Declares, Small
ExHicrn Slates Are Able to Doml-
. Date in Congress West Has Too
Many One Termers States Gain In
Many Ways, He Says, By Policy of
Re-electing Congressman Dick
Endorses Taft's Sentiment.
Washington, April 1. President
Taft In an address before the Ohio so
ciety of Washington last night point
ed out that the dominating power of
the eastern states In congress lies in
the fact that they keep men in office
when they place them there. He con
trasted the Influence of the east in
legislative work with that of the west.
' "Why is, it." asked the president,
"the urn all states of the east exercise
so much power in congress? It is
not because an eastern man has any
more capacity in the matter of legls
'latlon than western man. It Is be
cuse when the eastern states get a
good representative they keep him as
long as he lives and then he has an
Influence that vastly exceeds the mere
numerical representation pf popula
tion. "I don't know whether this Is quite
germane to the subject of this occa
sion, but it occurs to me to say this
because I fool as though we are all
Interested In having Ohio make her
self felt In the legislation of this coun
ty by adopting a system that will cer
tainly bring about the weight she Is
entitled to."
Dick Endorses Words.
When the president 'had concluded.
Senator Dtck. who was on the plat
' form, grasped his hand and shook It
enthusiastically. The senator whose
term expires with this congress and
who has a hard fight ahead for re
election, said something to Mr. Taft
who laughed aloud and said to the as
semblage of men and women from his
" native state: , '
"Senator Dick has Just told me that
he heartily Indorses everything I have
said on this subject."
fhe president wag the guest of
honor at a meeting called to organ
ize an Ohio society In Washington.
Justice William R. Day presided and
subsequently was elected president of
the society.
"There is only one think I want to
say about Ohio that has a political
tinge," he said, "and that Is I think
& mistake has been made of recent
years In Ohio In falling to continue
as our representatives -the same peo
ple term after term. I am for contin
uing the representation as we have It,
so that (he representatives shall be
the foremost In both the halls of legis
lation." WOMAN ENTERED DOCTOR'S
ROOMS DAY AND NIGHT
Watseka, HI., April 1. Evidence In

WISE MEN MADE
One of the best Jokes of "All Fools
Day" was perpetrated upon the mem
bers of the local bar. One of the em
ployes of the court house at 9 o'clock
called up every attorney In the city
and told them that they were wanted
at the court house at once. Accord
ingly the lawyers made haste to gath
er at the court house. Upon their ar
rival Col. Raley wasjust launching
forth into his argument on the water
suit which contains about as much
Interest for those not directly con
nected with It as a Sunday school
would have for a bowery sport.
Raley took their appearance as an
Indication that they were desirous of
hearing his argument and he is said
to have fairly poured forth eloquence

mine operators and miners has been
issued here as fnr ns enuM ho oupr.
' talned. The miners officials hope for
an amicable settlement within thirty

Officers of the United Mine Work
era of North America declared the
walk out was not a strike, but merely
a suspension of work because no wage
scales nad been made to replace the
' old scale, which expired with March.
jThe miners demand an Increase of
i pay, In some instances of five cents
j a ton and in some instances more,
j with certain changes in working con
I ditions.
1 Confidence was expressed by the
(operators tiat there would be.no gen
eral coal famine, large supplies of
fuel having been stored in antleipa
tlon of the walk out.
While the miners predict the sus
pension will be cut short by a prompt
signing of wage scales, some of the
operators maintain, the mines may be
ki i t closed for a month, or longer.
The first settlement came in an an
nouncement from Brazil, Lid., the
center of the Indiana block coal field.
where the demand for a five cent In
