Critical and Expository.

Mr.. Elitor In your issue OF
SEPT. 9Th letter appears over the
name of j. w. S. Cochrane.
He, being tho supreme education
al (?) arbitrator of teachers and pu-
pills in this county, should be able to
write correct English. If the letter
referred to be specimen of his lit
erary ability let the Office he vacated
and school boy installed. The first
sentence is
In your eagerness to criticise the School
Board you are coming rather fast and
feel it my duty to set you straight.
What crude absurdity and gross
vulgarism from the pen Of the Exam
iner Of Public Schools The. First
Law of Motion, as stated by Rolfe
and Gillet, is
a moving body when left to itself will!
always move in straight line.
Is there any necessity 10 set that
straight which in it's nature is straight
and ual continue straight if left to
itself? Yes, this sentence is from
him who, drawing a salary of $500,
IS to judge if boys are properly ip-
structed in rhetoric. Yet he is guilty
of making two different metaphor
meet on the same object-"going "a
ther fast" and straight"
He says further
If you will call at the office of the Boa
| will give you an opportunity 10 more
thoroughly inform yourself in school
matters.
This is worse than the first. Why
not eff you call at the Office, ETC., or,
better still, "call at the ofiice,' etc.
What law of taste or grammar
justifes "to more thoroughly inform
Yourself?" Fewsmith, whose gran
mar Mr.. Cochrane claims to have
studied, says, page IT'S, rule XIII,
note 5:
The auxiliary STOP should not be sepa-
rated from the remainder of the intinitiye
by inserting another word.
Corrected, it is "to inform yourself
more thoroughly"
What en- be expected from teach
ers and pupils when the chief officer
sets such an example? There is need
of reviving the old rule which re-
CURED examiners to be examined be-
fore the State Board of Education.
I am yours, etc.

How Will Arbitration Do?

MIR. AG2tOr The abnormal condl-
ton of things in this valley at this
moment is of supreme Importance
not only to the coal companies and
the miners, but to every man, woman
and child, and the parties therefore
directly concerned owe the public the
duty of coming to fair, just and
reasonable understanding without loss
of time, for the season is RAPIDLY draw
ing to a close. 1t is unnecessary to
look forward into the winter to real
ize the restitution that will stalk
abroad if work is not resumed this
fall.
Could not the JOURNAL be instru-
mental in bringing about settle
ment? Why not arbitration? Apply
business principles; let the miners re-
duce their grievances into form, no mat
ter what tley are--short weights, COM
pany stores, or what not. This is an
imperative duty that the miners will
have to discharge. Then the COM
panies will have to state their side.
The public looks for fair state
ment of what has produced the still
ness of death in this valley. If it is
only the demand for an advance Of
10 cents per ton for digging, that
ought to be easily disposed OF. TIL.
companies can't work without profit,
the nen will readily admit. Then a
few simple figures ought to convince.
If short weight is a factor, the minors
have beyond any question the right
to demand such a showing as will set
at naught even tbs suspicion of wrong.
AS to company stores, no one can
deny the right of an agent or com
pany trading in conformity with law.
But where there seems to be such an
aversion upon the part of emp loyees
(ard this is the universal orinion) to
company stores, the public would
have good reason to condemn the
whole system should any persistence
be evinced to hold On to them.
These hints are thrown out to set
people thinking, AID we will close By
repeating one question and asking
another:
How will arbitration do?
And how will the Mines Commission

Letter from Mr.. SaWard.

Mr.. J. B. ODER-Dear Sir Il see
by your Journal of Saturday that the
men Of the Georges Creek are to hold
a nesting on Wednesday, and it has
occurred to me that you might be
present, and if so, be instrumental in
stopping the very foolish strike that
now exists in the region. l use this
word, foolish" advisedly, for there is
nothing to be gained from its contin-
uance.
. There appears to be a misapprehen-
sion on the part of tie men as to the
prices at which this coal has been
sold in the various markets. The
prices at which most of the coal has
been sold this year has not averaged
$2.4O at Georgetown, 1915 at Balti-
more, and you can buy all you want
at these rates, or at So 80 to $500 at
New York, according to the point Of
shipment hereto.
So you readily see the market has
not improved, as many people are so
fond of reporting. The "boom" is
not felt in coal in any part of the
States at all as yet. Why not, you
say, if iron is active? Simply be-
cause there are too many holes in the
ground from which to dig it.
There is also some glib talk about
contracts, and that the companies
must give way on this account. Why,
all contracts are made subject to
strikes. There could be no worse
time for the men to expect 20 gain
their point than the present, for the
contracts are at least two-thirds file d ,
and all that the companies need do
is to 60 to their friends and tell them
that unless they pay an advance
equal to the demands of the men, the
contract is closed.
With the quantity of steam coal to
be had, at even lower rates than
above quoted, tho consignees are not
likely to be scared as to the possibil-
ity CT securing the supplies necessary.
Clearfeld can be had here at lower
rates than above quoted. Perhaps
your valley would like to see the
trade transferred to that region 2
Again, there is hardly a foreign
steamer that arrives but has some
thing at least to help carry her back.
meant to have advised you in
time for last weeks paper, but
thought there would be wisdom sufi-
ciont among you to stop this striking
before an cther week came on. The
companies here are Indifferent, and
with winter ahead we think the men
would be exercising the better part
of valor if, upon due consideration of
the facts as here presented, they wait
ed for more suspicious season. You
were good enough to publish my
views last week, and that is the state
of affairs to-day. Yours truly.
F. e. SAWARD.

The issue is made up. The liEes
are drawn, farther apart than ever.
The miners stand determinedly for
SO cents the companies against it.
And every movement widens the
breach. Meanwhile, dark prospect
lowers over the region. Destitution
and distress will atflict many families
and grow in intensity with the deepen
ing rigors of winter. 1t is time for
serious thought; indeed, for earnest
preparation against coming ills.
They must be met and endured.
But, as business men, ia this tbs
true way of considering this matter ?
Can the trouble be mended by whin-
ing? Can a child's mode of logic eff
feet anything? Isn't there, on the
other hand, enough of common sense,
Of fair dealing, of private and public
honesty, Of "give and take" among us
to prevent the fulGlment of horo-
scope so portentous of evil? If not
shame on us all
Is there anything in fact or figure
Or have they lost virtue and force
Is there anything in reason? Or has
it lost sway?
We do not suggest plan, for the
reason the one advanced in the out
set was ignored and spurned by those
whose only duty in that crisis was to
adopt and pursue it. But a plan is
lndlspensable-one that provides
some meeting-time at some meeting
place on common equal ground
There is neutral territory sufficient
between the parallels for standing
room and taiking-rooln for miners
and oompanies-some margin on
which each can enter without a sur
render of one jot CT title of dignity.
In this connection Common Inter
est presents elsewhere suggestion
which We print without comment.
If not adopted, it may lead to some
thing better. The object is worth the
serious consideration of every opera
tor and miner in the region. "In
multitude of counsellors there il

Imeant to have advised you in time for

Mr.. Saward and all Of us have been
mistaken. If the companies and their

they did not exercise it.

SAID gentleman to US the other

"You are blamed with this whole
business
Without disrespect to our estima-
bic informant we reply that this is in
keeping with the policy of the COM
panies. They have always succeeded
in putting the blame for trouble OF
other people. 1t is a necessity in
their case which admits no forbear-
ance.
The real causes of trouble lie in
the arrogance and opp essions tc
which the men have been systemati-
cally subjected. Were we to detail
all that we know in this line, instead
of blaming, they would thank us for
the moderation with which we have
expressed ourselves.
Andwhen it is made treason for men
to demur to these things under penal
ty of decapitation as employees, is i.
any wonder that big tronbles ul;i-
mately come? Or, is human nature

else in ether people2
