Thomas Bowen, brother of bailift
Samuel Bowen, accompanied by his
son, Benjamin, arrived Monday from
Peterton, Kansas, where he has lived
- years, proftably to himself and the
town. He is one OF the leading citi-
zens Of the place, and as quite all
Kansas towns are active municipal
tiles, to be leader is to be hustler.
Two days after his arrival Mr., Rowe,
one of the State biologists now on the
Creek, engaged him to take charge of
the re-opening of an old shaft located
near the farm of Jacob Winters. He
has not had much opportunity there

1t is most surprising to learn that
the trustees of Bowery school have APP
pointed as principal for the coming
year one who is an inexperienced
youth. II years Of age, and an entire
stranger to the county at that.
And what is more surprising is that
MIR. Prltchard, county commissioner.
could, as one of the trustees, be cret:it-
ed with using sound judgement in
paying out the peoples money for
such iueXperlence.
Patrons of Bowery school. are we
going to permit this appointment to
stand and leave the training and teach
ing of our children to Il youth who
has had no experience in school work
And, voters of No. -, are we going
to permit Mr.. Pritchard to carry this
district in the primaries to succeed
himself, as he wishes to, in the face of
an act like this PATRON.

The Supply of Goal.

Talking to the New York Tribune
one day last week Gen. J. w. St. Clair,
of Fayetteville, w. Va, said
The coal industry has become an industry
which stands alone in a class by itself.
Iron used to be considered as the basic bust
ness proposition, but this is no longer the case.
The coaI INDUSTRY has not get JET the general
business rc"i"di.
Coat is cheaper than il tcaS tre'ge months ago..
The supply is too great tor tie de"and.
In 50 days, at the very outside limit the
mines of this country could produce enough
bitumnous coal to last the entire year.
All the coal used in 1896 was practically
produced in 81 days, although there were
1900, 600 tons more used tina, year than ever
before
The only solution of the -oblem is the de-
velopment of international trade.
We can compete with the mines of the
world.
We produce coal cheaper than any country
in the world.
All we lack is the proper transportation
facilities.
At present they are not efficient enough to
enable us to dispose of our surplus III foreign
markets.
The italics are the JOURNAL ). They
are used specially for the enlighten-
ment of the half-baked professional
labor papers around here who reason
wholly from surface manifestations.
On the other hand, Gen. St. Clair
knows what he is talking about. At
least the 1rjbpHe. which ought to be
good authority with that portion of the
professional labor paper that is pro-
fesslonally republican, says of him:
General st. Clair is connected with some Of
the largest coal mining interests in the world
and is probably as well able to speak author
ltatively on the subject as any other man in
the country.
Moreover, nobody in West Virginia
who knows him would put down Gen.
st. Clair as ian enemy of labor
Yet he can tell tile truth and still be
regarded as labor's friend.
Is it not strange, then, that in large
measure on Georges Creek only the
proQf of the true situation is regard
ed as Il manifestation of unfriendli-
ness

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.

The JOURNAL is indebted to Duncan
h. Sloan, treasurer. for a copy of Iona
coning's financial statement for the
year ending June %, last. ltshows that
% per cent of the taxes is spent on the
streets. Here it is about 81 per- cent.
There, as here, too much is paid for
light, an item which nearly swamps
the revenue from licenses. Financial
management down there is obviously
better than ours, especially since j.
Bowery Williams has become ''the
power behind the throne" Thanks,
Mr.. Sloan.

How il Work :.

The Concordia Hansen observes
that
They say good advice costs nothing. We
know better Wegave good advice to friend
the other day which he didn't seem to want
it cost us friend
The JOURNAL has been giving some
people correct information concerning
the coal situation, with no other pur-
pose than to afford them chance to act
knowingly if they acted at all.
1t protfered no advice whatever.
But the professional labor organs
published it as enmity to the miners,
and, unfortunately. yet naturally,
those who. in the first place, don't
want the truth, in the hast easily pre-
fer to put faith in lie.

The professional labor paper up
street says:
1t would be a conservative estimate to say
that it costs % per- rent more to live now than
1t did one year ago.
Well, some of its. professional labor
friends say the trusts are the cause of
this, and its republican, not labor
friend, Havemeyer, says "the high
tariff Is the mother of the trusts"
Now, suppose it can't get 80 or 80
cents for mining coal, is it in favor of
reaching a similar end 10y lowering the
cost OF living by downing the trusts p"
II so, is it also in favor of lowering
the tariff in order to down the trusts ~
In asking these questions the jour
NAL hopes the answers will show the
miners whether the labor
snake that makes the track
Is going north or coming back?
In palmer terms, is it, as a republ
can paper, trust-promoter, or as a
labor paper, a trust DESTROYER
