DISARMAMENT AT THE COAL
CAMPS.

Governor Ferry has wisely declined to
act upon the suggestion of Gen. Curry
to declare martial law at the disturbed
mining camps in this county, trusting to
. reasonable hope that the order for dis
armament will be readily complied with.
Establishment of martial Law is an ex-
treme measure, proper only as last re-
sort, and it would be without warrant st
the present time, when there is every
reason to believe that there viii be no OPP
position TO the plans which the governor
has made to establish peace and to protect
all parties in their legal rights If these
plans fail. if the several armed bodies de-
cline 70 surrender their guns, then the
governor would be justified in declaring
martial law, but not till then.
The disarmament must be thorough and
fair all round. To take their arms
from the miners and disperse their organi-
cation while permitting the Sullivan men
TO maintain their arms and organization,
or their organization without arms under
any pretense, would be grossly unfair.
The Sullivan men should not be permitted
10 remain on duty 1t the camps, either
with or without arms. Their presence
from this time would be not only an irrita-
ton 70 the miners but an insult 10 the au-
thorities who have assumed guardianship
of both the property and the peace of the
disturbed camps.
The prospect of an immediate settlement
is now almost an assurance. The only
thing that could prevent it would be the
retention ofthe Sullivan men, and we can
not believe that the mine owners win be
so stubborn, unfair and unwise as to at
tempt il.

SETTLE. MONDAY. JULY 8.


Secretary Rusk does not believe it 70 be
the duty of the general government 70 go
into the business of land improvement or
is to grant to each of the several states the
arid lands within its territory, leaving the
matter of development to local Judgment
and enterprise. Mr.. Rusk is on the right
track, but he doesn't go far enough The
arid lands should certainly belong TO the
several states in which they lie. and the
cost of their improvement should be borne
by the states; bat why stop here? Why
not make clean job of it and give TO the
states not only their arid lands but all
other lands7 All the conditions that
apply 70 one class Of land, and they are
many, apply with equal force to all other
classes of land.
By the newer states il has long been felt
ss an injustice that the proceeds for the
sale of their lands should 90 to the enrich
ment of the already too-rich general gov
eminent. leaving them TO struggle. IN
aided, excepting in slow and indirect
way, with the large charges incidental TO
the creation and equipment of state insti-
rutions. 1t has been felt that the unap-
propriated lands ought 70 be the property,
not of the government, but OF the states
themselves, and that each state should en-
Joy the benefits resulting directly from the
sale of lands within its limits. Mr.. Rusk's
proposition is In part 8 recognition of q
right which somehow has failed of proper
and forcible advocacy where such ad-
vocacy would be effective; and il is very
certain that If IL were enlarged 10 include
not only the bad. but the good land, it
would Instantly find strong partisans and
an earnest support.
The state of Washington, which has an
enormous AGRA of arid lands-lands poten-
tally rich. but requiring irrigation and
practically yaluless without It-would
gladly accept Mr.. Rusk's proposition
but IL wants the good lands with the bad
The two classes OF lands taken together
and wisely administered would make the
Washington state government one of the
richest In the nation. The proceeds from
the sales Of arabic and timber lands If ap-
plled 70 easily practcaole schemes OF Irrl-
CATION woald soon make the dry and ele-
vsted wastes Of our middle section region
Of surprising richness. and the sale in turn
Of these redeemed lands would create and
endow complement Of state institutions
unsurpassed by any state in the Union.
Mr.. Rusk has raised the question: and
now viii not our representatives at Wash.
ington City take the matter up, enlarge
Mr.. Rusk's suggestion to its logical limits
and set on foot movement 10 secure fol
Washington what is justly her own-ths
ownership and administration of that par
OF the public domain which lies within
her territory? The Senator or Representa-
tive who will take up this matter and
work it to successful issue will do hi

IS the stomach il an important part OF the SOL
der, and in order TO induce proper amount of
