THE COAL-MINERS.

The daily papers give reports OF
grave troubles among the miners at
Pittsburg and Weir City-reports of
incendiary speeches, intimidation of
miners by strikes, shots fired, etc.
We are just in receipt of the Pitte-
burg Kansan, which gives report
of miners parade and picnic, in
which it speaks of the addresses as
characterized by moderation and
frmness. The Kansan says, "a
more orderly crowd could not be
gotten together in any state in this
Union" We refuse to believe the
Associated Press reports until their
confirmation comes from a more re-
liable source.

the question as to whether or nc
said section l3 is constitutional
and having decided that said sec
ton is constitutional, the question
that remains to be determined is
Who are prohibited from maintain
ing nuisance as in said section
provided I? Said section Ii provide
that all places where persons arr
permitted to resort for the purpose
of drinking intoxicating liquors as
beverage are declared to be common
nuisances, and the owner or keep
er thereof shall, upon conviction, be
adjudged guilty of maintaining g
common nuisance, and shall be pun
ished by a fine Of not less than
500 nor more than $500, and be
imprisoned in the county Jail not
less than sixty days nor more than
ninety days.
"In this case decided by the SUI
preme court, the defendant was
charged with being the owner and
keeper of public nuisance, for the
reason that he permitted persons to
resort to such place for the purpose
of drinking intoxicating liquors.
cannot hold, under this section OF
the statute, that only the person who
keeps and maintains house Of this
kind can be the only person who
violates the law. 1t seems to me
from this decision of the supreme
court that if a number of persons
rent or own a room, and resort there
to for the purpose of drinking intox-
icating liquors, each person is, in
contemplation of the law, the keep
err of the place where Intoxicating
liquors are sold.
"Any other construction than this
would simply convict mere clerk
or employe, who, apparently, is the
Keeper, and whose only business
might be to take care of the room,
although he might not drink one
drop of Intoxicating liquor. This
decision of the supreme court, in
plain words, is simply this: That
the law prohibits persons from as
sembling in or at places and drink
ing intoxicating liquors, and it is
immaterial whether the liquors so
kept or drank are procured by each
individual who there assemblies.
The intention of the law seems to
be to prohibit the congregation OF
persons at any place as resort for
the purpose of drinking Intoxicating
liquors as beverage. | think this
is the clear intent and purpose of
this decision, and as this decision is
so recent, and upon the very propo-
sition involved in your statement
to me, my opinion is that no such
organization is authorized by law"
