ion, we repeat, is most renal k able. From many quarters here tofore esteemed the most conser- vative, from public men, from newspapers and from political conventions are heard demands that the federal authorities act upon present conditions without regard 10 precedents. Itis urg- ed that the government can seize the coal mines as 1t took ships during the Spanish-A American war, as 1t can take railways when the public peril may require, or that congress may take the coal sup ply in Pennsylvania as It has talk en control of tEe water supplies in the west.
 These are bewildering times and men who feel the wrong and the suffering produced by the coal situation are not disposed to par ley over the remedies they seek for relief. As Lincoln. took the authority to emancipate the slaves of the south in aid of theH eHreser- vation of the uolon, so many seem prepared to see President Roosevelt seize the coal mines and save millions from the want that is already pinehiug them. What the end may be no one seems wise enough to predict now, but certainly there is rev olut.on of public opinion in pro- gress that may mean some novel and radical forms of legislation in the future.

GOV. DAVIS DESIGNS
Everything Indicates That Davis Will Ask For Third Term
 as Governor.

Little Rock, Oct. 12.-Notwith- standing the denial of Gov. Davis that he would rot offer for n third term, the belief Is becom- ing prevalent in political circles that it IS his purpose to announce for another two years as gover- nor, in order that he may keep before the public until such time as he shall actively enter upon his campaign for the United States senate against Senator Berry. The latest circumstance to indi- cate this is the sudden announce ment of Hon. J. V Bourland of Ozark several days ago that he would be candidate for attorney general.
 Since the last State convention 1t has l'een matter of general comment that Mr. Bourland would be the administration can dldate for governor in fact, in several interviews given out upon the subject here aud at Fort Smith he had intlmated that it was his purpose to run for governor. As late as noon of the day on which he announced that he would run for attorney general he stated that 1t was too early to make an announcement that he would like to be governor, but did not know whether the people wanted him or not. Then came the an- nouncement that he had switched to the office from which Jeff Davis James F. Clark and Dan w. Jones were elevated to the gubernatorial chair. The change of front came about after he had held consul tation with Gov. Davis. This action Is believed to indicate d trade, and that Davis has promis- ed Bourland his support for at torney- general, while he runs for q third term as governor.

HOW WILL TT RESULT?
Doctrines That Were Once Con- sidered Anarchism Find
 High Indorsment.

This coal strike and the exigen- cies 1t has produced have led to some most curit us obsessions of opinions among public men and newspapers. Measures hereto fore regarded as revolutionary, socialistic and destructive of the republican form of government are now proposed and even urged by those who but recently stood in solid array against them.
 It is not so long ago that those who advocated government own ership of natural monopolies and great public utilities were looked upon with horror and denouLced as the leaders of semianarchv, if not anarchy pure and simple. Any proposal to give government tue right to control and manage any form of industry was declar- ed to be the very aggravation of : paternalism and the opponents of such schemes delivered most elo- quent' arguments over the social and industrial advantages of in- diyiduallsm,
 The Idea that the general gov erpment has any right under the constitution to coerce uses of pIvate properties, CT to con is cate them under the right of eminent domain except for pure ly national uses, was pronounced upon as a long and desperate step toward the st form of imper- illism. \ eentralizsd govern ment, with power to interfere with the right of the citizen to l fe, liberty anu the persuit Of happiness in the lawful posses sion aud uses of his individual property h1s always he abhorrent to the essential democracy of our people. The strong slogans Of the past have been for limitations upon federal authority and not for it's enlargement.
 But the coal strike has reveal
  ed to the people hoy the liber- ties of individuals, of unions aud .corpora'iors, may become so con flleting as to congest the mutual operations, produce vast vast ago of the powers of production, enforce a famine of public neces sarics, and establish a reign of actual clvil war in given districts, as Is the case today in Pennsyl- vania..
