1t is quite simple proposition which is

deeply concerned, because they can ad-

are forced upon them.

THE JAIL-A WARNING.


1t has new been made as plain as tbs
circumstances at All admit of that if
the board of comfy commissioners should
proceed with lis evident purpose to pro-
vile a new county jail building at a
point distant from the city hall and court
Eouse it can clio SO only III plain oppo-
siticn to LEGAL public sentiment.
The letter of the judges of the district
court should be needed 1t is in the
nature of expert opinion, and gives to
the public the recognized view of men
and officials W no are absolutely disfn-
terested in the premises. No action
which the board may take along the line
already indicated, will receive the public
approval It will. on the contrary, be
accepted as the expression of u settled
purpose TO set the opinion of certain
members of the board of county com
mdssieners above both the needs and
wishes Of the taxpayers
The subject is most impor tant one
The city ard county alike need additional
facilities for housing the several depart
ments OF both. The proposed Plan is NOT
designed on any basis of the complete
accommodation of our local. public Depart
naents. 1t viii result in great expense
and Questionable advantages It will be
put into operation at a time when in
teiligent sentiment is fast crystallizing in
the form of a conviction that the present
Jail building should be utilized for some
further time, after the repairs necessary
are made. The expense CT this course
will be small. It will leave the amplest
time for deliberation as to the true So
luton Of the problem which confrcnts the
taxpayers. While the consideration of
sanitation is i most Important one. and
while the sanitary arrangements of The
present Jail building are far from salts
factory, there ought to be little doubt
but that decided Improvement can be
made in existing conditions. and that
: GEch improvement win be found adequate
to al! needs during the occupancy of the
building.
The erirninaf business of this county is
disposed of with much promptness.

THE HOBO. coNyENr1oS rAKE.

Readers of the Pioneer Iress will re-
call the space it recently gave
to so-called hobo convention
in an Iowa town. printing it
as telegram. and not only Illus
trating the article, but sought to create
the impression that it was an indorse-
ment of the candidates and platform of
the Kansas City convention. To such
ends some newspapers stoop. The mat
ter was given SO much consideration in
the Republican partisan press that the
Waterloo Qowa) Reporter was constrain-
ed to say:
The newspapers that have been devot-
ing columns of space to the alleged hobo
convention at Britt, To-, ought to apol-
oglze to their readers for having worked
OH such nonSensical and fuisome Slush on
them. The whole thing was fake
There was no convention of hoboes, and
none was intended. All there was to the
affair was started as d little fun locally
by an organization known as the Tourist
cup, and composed of well known Han
cock county men. How the affair came
tc be so extensively advertised can prob
ably be best explained by the willingness
certain papers always exhibit to fill their
columns with something without regard
as to whether there Is any truth to the
matter OF not. A good deal of odious
criticism which is sometimes showered
on the press jim general has its source in
this total disregard fer the truth that Is
sometimes exhibited. The fake business
ought to be stopped.

A HAPPY ENDING.


IT, as the press reports now indicate
will be the case, the prevailing strike of
coal miners is about to end, the country
Will have reason to rejoice. Those who
will have been instrumental in bringing
1t to an end, no matter which side of
the controversy they represent, or wheth-
er they represent either, will have en-
titled themselves to the public gratitude.
From the outset there has been a.
good deal of self-restraint shown bv
the leaders on both sides The men have
stood by their original proposition, that
they Gid not propose to put the publ,
to any such inconvenience as the con-
tinuance of the strike would involve for
the mere assertion of their views con-
corning the recognition of their union
by the companies. The action of the
convention has been most moderate 1t
has sustained the action taken when
the declaration was made that the men
did not propose TO stand on any issue of
the recognition or non-recognition of
their organization. The specific demands
formulated through that convention
threw aside those of the original de-
mands upon which disagreement was
most likely to result
On the other hand, the position taken
by the operators indicated plainly their
desire to settle the difficulty without
strife. The concession of 10 per cent
advance was the sure basis upon which
an agreement could have been reached.
While the manner of offering it was
hardly worthy of the occasion, the event
has shown that it was intended as an
indication that its authors were ready
to meet the men more than half way on
every proposition save alone the question
of their union.
The country now awaits the announce
ment that the agreement is complete
and that the mines are once more in
full operation. Hard coal has already
reached such a price on the market as
to render the fuel supply to the people
of the cities a very grave one The set
Element ought to be followed at once
by serious reduction in present quoted
prices This is what the coal-consuming
public is looking for. If the present
prices are maintained it will be hard to
convince any intelligent consumer that
there was not more or less johbery be-
hind the non-production of coal during
the past few weeks
To the general public, the strife which
is now evidently on the eve of complete
peaceful adjustment was mere private
quarrel. Few outside of the miners and
operators cared much about its merits
or demerits. The anxiety OF the country
was directed to the possibility that a pri-
waite disagreement concerning the pro-
duction of one of the greatest necessaries
of life should be made the medium Of
suffering to the mass Of persons who use
hard coal as their customary fuel This
possibility is now evidently passed; but
It is none the less the duty of public
and private agencies alike to prevent the
renewal of any such danger in the i'm
| mediate future as that which ensued
when the Pennsylvania miners went on
| strike.
