TO LOCATE A COLONY.
Old Soldiers of The Northwest Seek
 ing A MiIder Climate.

Several months ago preliminary steps were taken to locate colony of ex- Union soldiers from Minnesota and the Dakotas at Rusks station a few miles south of here on the line of the railroad and some work was done looking to that end.
 Last Thursday committee consist ing of Henry Knight, E. c. Allen and J. H. Egge, all of Minneapolis, Minn., in charge of General Townsite Agent Craig, came to Mena and viewed the tract of land at Rusk's station return ing north by the evening train. To representative of the Star, MT Knight stated that they had viewed several other tracts, and this one at Rusk was the last on their list and in his judgement was the best they had examined The other memb bers of the committee expected to return at once to Minneapolis and report to the board of directors of the organization, when the site would be selected and ar engagements made to take possession lay out and improve the grounds read ; for the colony to go upon them this fall
 Mir. Knight stated that north ern country was alive with people who were determined to seek a milder climate and that at least 5000 people would locate at or near the place cho, sen for the colony. MT. Knight will not return home but will have his goods shipped and family come to him here

HONEST LABOR HONORABLE.

In spite of the efforts on the part of some shallow minded peo- pie to ape the ways of shoddy ar ristocracy and make itappear that to have to labor for q living is de- grading. whenever the great body of the American people have a chance to express their sentiments then they show that they honor and respect those who earn livcli- hood by honest toil.
 This fact was quite clearly dem- onstrated recently in the case of working girl by the name of Edna Whitney at Chillieothe, Mo. She had been chosen by popular

 The streets in the timber around the hotel have all been cleared ready for the graders, and 1t is expected that much of this work will be done during the coming winter.
 Work on the Hotel Wilhelmena is progressing steadily, the kitchen hav- ing walls up and rafters on ready for the roof. The heavy stone walls for the main portion of the building are up to the top of the lower windows and doors, ready for the frame work above, and a few weeks more will see the entire building enclosed and ready for the finishing.

 In addition the management of the fall festivities at Topeka, Kan, has honored Miss Whitney by in viting her to fill the position as Maid of Honor to their Queen, thereby giving additional testimo- ny to show that with the people honest toll IS no bar to positions of honor in their minds.

The Great Coal Miners Strike.

On the whole, the miners seem to have come out ahead in the great strike which is now happily ended. Their gain is not fully represented in the increase of wages they have ob- tained. It will be a long time before that balances the losses they have suf- fered by reason of idleness. But they will be vastly benefited by the correct ion of certain abuses which were prac- ticed by the mine owners, such as short weights, fraudulent screens, "pluck me- stores and the wretched quarters for which exhorbltant rents were demanded, The strength of the min CTS was in the fact that they had jus tice on their side. They succeeded in convincing the public that they were the victims of oppression and greed and that of itself gave them an i'm pregnable position. They also forti- fled their cause by their general obe- uience to law and their respect for peace and order. It is believed that they have brought about substantial amelioration of their condition and the public rejoices in their we'll earned victory y.-kansas City Star.

Among the many reasons why congress should adopt a postal savings bank system for this coun- try is the fact, as recently out lined by the Kansas City Journal, that such depository for the peo- pie would make them more patri- otic and less inclined to take any course looking to the dissolution or destruction of the government. To know that their government was caring for their money and that as long as it held intact the money would be absolutely safe, would cause every American citi- zen who is a deposltor to have a greater interest in this govern ment than he might otherwise have.

"When fortune smiles on thee, take the aduantage. "
sonE PUBLIC INSTITUTIONS.

Many people appear to be quite surprised when their attention is called to the fact that our system of free schools, the United States postal system and our public wag- on roads are all purely socIalistic. These are for tho use of the public Upon an equal basis regardless of station i'll life socially, or financial standing or even pre- vious condition of seryitude and y yet there is is naee naee tendency toward making all people equal in intel ligence or to cause them to lose their individuality.
 The poor as we'll as the rich have equal rights under the law to transmit and receive mail mat ter; the children of the humblest as we'll as those of the most aris- tocratic have equal rights to se- cure an education Ill our public schools, and yet no one thinks for a moment that the system tends in any way to regulate the quality of the brains of the children or to equalize their capacity as students.
 Upon the public roads the team of the freighter as W ell as that of the millionare have equal rights, but this fact has no tendency to cause the horses of one to be worth as much, or no more, than those owned by the other.
 These institutions are socialistic in principle because they are es- tablished by the common law, sus- tained largely by monies from the peoples treasury and are open to use by the common people upon exactly the same terms.
 In addition to the systems nam ed abovcd there are many others belng adopted by the people that are purely socialistic. Among these we will name municipal own ership and operation of street car lines, gas and electric lighting and water plants, these being establish ed and paid for by the public upon equal terms, all paying the same amount for the same service and the municipality sharing in the profits, or losses, as the case may be.
 In every city of any importance in this country there is a fire de- partmcnt sustained at public ex- pense. When an alarm Of fire is sounded it matters not whether it is the hoyel of a day laborer or the palace of a merchant prince the fire men jump from their beds, the horses spring to their places and all dash at full speed to pro- tect any life and property that may be endangered.
 These illustrations present the proper idea and correct definition in q practical sense of socialism and all others are false, decep- tive and misleading.

It is beginning to be quite the thing for cities when granting franchises for the use of their streets for any public purpose to exact a share of the profits and in this way secure a revenue and reduce taxation. Other cities arc adopting the better plan of owning and operating such enter prises along the socialistic Idea for the benefit of all the people.
