Said direct nomination would do
away with delegated authority, and re-
store sovereignty to the people Rep
resentatives in these days arrogated to
themselves more power than was dele
gated.
Primaries were controlled by ward
heelers and henchmen, and the peo.
pie had party tools forced upon them
who were not their agents, but the
servants of bosses and manipulators.
Direct nominations alonewoud reme-
dy this.
The citizen should have the same
right to secretly and silently pass his
judgment on aspirants for nomination
that he had to do 50 on election day

The Illinois Soldiers Home.

At the meeting of the traktees of
the state soldiers home at Quincy the
superintendent report showed that
there were - buildings on the
grounds. ranging from the humbiest
cottage to the large headquarters
building. The community includes a
store, Postotfice and depot and every
building is lighted by electricity and
heated by steam. At the present time
the aggregate membership is 1894
and with the help of attaches of the
place there is a showing of about
1000 residents. At the present time
$50 of the veterans are out on fur
loughs and 276 are in the HOSPITAL,
where they are looked after by 45 at
PENDANTS and corps of seven trained
nurses. The cost of maintaining the
institution averages S122.37 annually
per capita, and of this amount the
United States gives 500 for each man.
The home was opened in March 1855.
and since then it has cared for 1857
soldiers. There are 140 acres of
ground at the home. y large part of
the ground is used for farming pur-
poses. but much of il near the build
ings is most artistically arranged
with parks, prettily adorned with
trees, shrubbery and flowers. 1t has
large artificial lake. and the walks
and driveways are always kept very
reat and attractive.

Coal Trust,s stubbornness.

Having disposed of their stock of
coal at eXtortionate prices the coal
barons who have reaped big benefit
from such sales may soon be ready TO
have more coal mined in the anthra-
cite district. and effect a settlement
of theAstrike. 1t is to be hoped they
will. They should arbitrate. With
insolence they have thus long ignor-
ed the appeal of labor, but they have
had protection from the national adj
ministration. No action has been
taken to curb the trusts and the coal
trust has done just about as il pleas
ed. 1t has ignored labor and has
disregarded the law. So it will al
ways be with trusts. They have no
regard for law or labor. In the al
mighty dollar they put their trust
and they use labor as a medium To
perfect that trust and ge: the dollar.
The coal trust denies the anthracite
coal miner voice in fixing the price
at which he shall sell his labor. The
coal trust says to the miner. Il will
buy your labor at a price fixed by
me. You must sell your labor to me
at price / shall fix. You take your
medicine and work for me at my
price
That's a cold-blooded proposition
What if the people should be allowed
TO fix their price on the commodities
offered for sale by the coal trust?
Suppose the people should say to the
coal trust, I'VE will pay 81 ton for
hard coal and no more" the coal
trust has no more right to fix the
price on coal than the worlkmen has
TO help fix, The price on labor. But is
the workmen in the anthracite mines
the game both ways. 1t fixes the
price ON the labor it employs; it fixes
the price on the coal it sells, and
thus L profits both by the purchase
of labor which it underpays and by
the sale of coal which It demands eX-
Orbitant prices for. 1t monopolizes
the sale of that kind of coal. 1t
stiles competition and corners the
market, thus making the trust SUI
preme and placing la Dor in a position
of servitude.
That's the kind of rule trust rule is.
That is why the strike is dragging.
The coal barons do not want their
criminal monopoly on the purchase
Of labor or the sale of coal hindered
in any way. Labor can appeal in
vain and the people must buy coal at
the trusts own price or go without
coal. If labor won't work for trust
fixed wages it can strike and starva-
ton will drive labor back to work at
The trusts prices.
That is the strike situation. 1t de-
mands government attention. That
strike should be ended Immediately
and the workmenS should be given
their rights.
