back. This does not tally well with the
sherif's statement that they ere ad-
vancing in disobedience to his orders.
Yet the plea upon which the pluto
cratic press puts the greatest stress is
that these murdered miners were
foreigners, Ignorant Poles" ETC.. We
admit this, yet was not their lives as
dear to them, and to those for whom
they toiled and whom, in their rude
way, they loved, as life is to anyone
We're they less entitled to life because
they had never Gas their employers had
done) by h-eartlessness and greed driven
a band OF defenceless laborers to des-
peration9 The sherif's own statement
condemns him.
To sum up the whole affair, to us the
action of the sheriff seems entirely In:
excusable. If the militia had marched
to Latimer and there defended the
miners who wished to work, no one
could have blamed him.
But if Sheriff Martin goes unpun'
ished it will prove n of the surest
means of breeding anarchy and disre-
spect of Law yet found. The only way
to exterminete anarchy, disrespect and
distrust of law and the courts, is to
convince the people that they have a
law and courts to which they can trust
to defend their rights. If Sheriff Mar
tin is not punished, this feeling will in
no wise be strengthened.

THE KIND OF POLITICIANS
NEEDED.

In glancing over the columns of an
old agricultural exchange we find the
following sensible item:
Every farmer should be an active
politician. Not a tool for scheming
demagogues. but an intelligent, inde
pendent thinker and voter. You are
to day suffering from wrongs that will
never he righted till you see that you
are properly represented in u legis
lative halls, and boldly demand what
is righttully yours"
