End of the Coal Strike.

The end of the coal strike is now in
sight The operators have come down
from their high horse and agreed to ar
bitration, but at first wanted to specify
the classes of men to be placed on the
commission which would be appointed
by President Roosevelt Mitchell would
not agree to their restrictions and after a
number of conferences with representa-
tives of both sides President Roosevelt
got their consent to waive minor points.
Late Wednesday night it was announced
that he had named an arbitration conf
mission OF six persons, and it is expected
that the strikers will at once resume work
pending their decision. Now the ques-
ton which is foremost in the public mind
is, what is our coal going to cost US this
winter.
The commission named by President
Roosevelt on Thursday is composed OF
Brig. Gen. John M. Wilson, Washington,
as an officer of the Engineer Corps; E.
w. Parker, Washington, an expert min
ing engineer; Hon. George Gray, Viii.
mington, as Judge of the United States
Court; E. E. Clark, Cedar Rapids, Grand
Chief of the Order of Railroad Conduc-
tors, as sociologist; Thomas H. Watkins
Scranton, as man practically acauaint
ed with the mining.a and selling of coal

The Financial Side of 1t.

By conservative estimate, it is certain
that the saloons of Cecil county have an
income OF at least $780, 900 annually over
and above the revenue that comes into
the public treasures. 1t is practical
question for the voters to consider wheth
er or not this is profitable investment.
Does it add to the material wealth of the
county? Is it an expenditure TO be point
ed to with pride? Does it add to the hap
piness and comfort of the home life
Does it add to the efficiency of the
churches and other benevolent move
meuts for the betterment of The people
Does it render the citizenship less cor
ruptible? Does it relieve the burdens OF
the tax payer? Does it make fewer OBJ
jects of charity in the county? Does it
add to the prosperity of the various bus
mess interests? Does it bring better
order to the various communities
Does it lessen crime and open the Jail
doors to free the inmates?
On the contrary, is it not certainty
that by so much as the saloon Golfers are
enriched, the people at large are impov-
GIlSUcu, anu lSRllWate tT9Qe is tDat lar
depressed? 1t is the universal experience
that many man spends the major part
of his earnings for beer and rum, while
the grocer gets minimum amount In
fact there are many who spend all for
liquor aud then want their goods on time.
1t is also the universal experience that
when the saloon is closed, the merchant
of every kind has larger trade, and it is
done more on a cash basis.
Were this $50, 900 diverted into the
stores of Cecil county and added to the
bank deposits of her people, would it not
enlarge the scope of prosperity through
out the county, would not the material
wealth of the people be more largely in
creased. aud would not hundreds of
homes be more happy and prosperous?
But the saloons go on, and with what
profit to the people? None, except the
pittance of a revenue which is like man
paying twenty dollars for the privilege of
collecting one, without regard to the
amount of wide spread trouble that may
be entailed by his system of collection.
The people of Cecil county can stop
this drain on the material resources of the
county. Will they do it? The November
election will determine 1.-THE Search

AS to Liquor License.

1t is curious fact that politically every
liquor dealer believes in license. They
believe in it even to the extent that they
welcome the opportunity of paying hun
dreds of dollars in fees each year, and are
willing that restrictions shall be added to
the license fee. Why? Simply because
they know that the courts have ruled that
no citizen has constitutional or inner.
ent right to engage in the liquor business,
and that the only opportunity the bus
mess has to exist, except as an outlaw, is
by the legislative permit, expressed in a
license law. Most dealers, perhaps, would
prefer that the license be low, but they
will gladly accept the imposition of a
high fee, if only the license be granted.
Some people have been led into the de.
fusion that license is the panacea for
the evils of the drink traffic. Experience
proves the opposite. The higher the fee
the more protection the dealer seems to
expect from the state or municipality,
and the conscience of citizens is lulled by
these fees paid into the treasury, until the
saloon gains firmer foothold among the
people. But people will get drunk under
license, high or low. License does not
make people more sober; it does not add
more happiness to the home /; it does not
Tighten the hearts of drunkard wives or
give bread to the starving children while
it adds few dollars to the treasury, it
does not lessen the drain from the treas
ury to pay the costs of courts and asy-
1ums. In fact the only effect of license is
to give the saloon a permit to live, and
grant it better opportunity to perpet-
uate ITSELF 1t is failure in promoting
sobriety, morality or prosperity. 1t is the
only protection the saloon has, and that
is the reason the dealers favor it. There
is not single reason why anyone else
should vote for it. Then see TO it that
your vote is deposited against license on
the 4th of November next and help drive
the saloons from the county, in the in
terest of home and sobriety.

BONE FOOD

Soft and crooked bones mean
bad feeding. Call the disease
ricketts, if you want to. The
growing child must eat the
right food for growth. Bones
must have bone food, blood
must have blood food and so
on through the list.
SCOTS Emulsion is the right
treatment for soft bones in
children. Littledoses everyday
give the stiffness and shape
that healthy bones should have.
Bow legs become straighter,
loose joints grow stronger and
frmness comes to the soft
heads.
Wrong food caused the
trouble. Rightfood will cure it.
In thousands of cases SCOTS
Emulsion has proven to be the
right food for soft bones in
childhood.
