ers as bold attempt to destroy their
organizations and they are prepared
to fight to the bitter end. The
miners are prepared for the test, hav-
ing had this grand strike in view for
over a year, and they have been saw
ing and careful for the purpose of
presenting a stronger front to the
enemy. The last strike in those
regions resulted in victory for the
mine workers, and an increase of 10
per cent in pay, but this is to be the
crucial test. The operators are on
record as being unalterably opposed
to granting the men any further con-
cession and they have personally in
formed the mine workers leaders of
that fact Although, so far the coal
washers engine men and pump run
ners have not been called out they
may be shortly. The great strike of
1900 lasted about six weeks but this
one promises longer existence.
President Mitchell of the convention
and prominent officers of the United
Mine Workers were opposed to the
strike but were voted down. The
American Federation of Labor depre-
cate the strike, also, but the gauntlet
has been thrown and means the life
or death of organized labor in the
coal regions of Pennsylvania.
This is the busy season usually in
in the anthracite regions, the winters
supply being mined far ahead of the
demand and a tie-up of two months
would be especially disastrous to the
big contractors. The operators have
invited the struggle and the public
generally is not in sympathy with
their avowed intention to wreck
the unions.

Doesn't Get a Square Deal.

There are indications that the press
of the country is not giving Senator
Tillman a square deal. He is always
sure of considerable space when he
makes remarks that some people con.
slider, perhaps, as bordering on the
violent. Usually upon those 0cca-
sions only such portions of his speech
as appeal to the prejudices of the
people and tend to place Mr.. Tillman
in questionable light are published
in full. The truth is that the South
Carolina senator gives expression to
some very happy thoughts and sim
lies that never find their way into
general circulation except through
the medium of the Congressional
Record.
One day last week the southern
gentleman made an address in the
senate upon the Philippine situation.
The radical features of that address,
particularly the portions that refer
red to the race question in the south,
were scattered broadcast over the
land, but the really good parts of his
Grafton that dealt directly with the
subject under discussion, and not the
side issues which he injected, were
not given wide publicity. One Of the
senator's happiest expressions in re-
ferring to the Philippines was: 1--WE
want no star pinned to our flag with
a bayonet."
That hitc cit11otinn W
upon the head. This country desires
no possessions that it has a right to
rule by fear of physical force. Such
condition is foreign to the princi-
pies upon which the government was
formed. Of course, it may be that
the people of the United States de-
sire to change their system of gov
eminent and will openly in the near
fuure enthrone a dictator instead of
a servant in the White house. If the
Philippines are to be ruled by the
bayonet, the precedent will be estab-
lished, showing that such a form of
government is possible under the
stars and Stripes, and if it is posi-
BILE in one place 1t certainly must be
in another. Senator Tillman is right
in protesting against the rule of fear
over any country under the dominion
of the United States. If it can be ap-
piled to the Philippines it is also ap-
plicable to this continent. No star
rightfully has any place upon our flag
that is kept there by a bayonet-

HIGH TEMPERED BUT YIELDING

Speaking of chocolate eclaire and
other supple subjects, how about that
hand forged, triple armored, ham
mered steel backbone of Roosevelt's.
Inc strenuous one has shifted some
of the clamps evidently since he
climbed into a dead mans shoes. His
word was supposed to be one of abso-
lutte temerity, a sort of fool rush in
where angels fear to tread, but his
recent crawfishing does not seem to
bear out the popular reputation. Was
II first that he gave out publicly that
Miss Alice was to attend the corona
ton of Edward in spite of all adverse
criticism, or was it his declarations
concerning General Miles, who he
proposed to fire bodily from the COM
mand Of the United States army. But
neither will Miss Alice attend the
coronation nor was General Miles
given the grand bounce. Thirdly,
the president declared his intention
to stump the country during the con-
gressional campaign. But even that
he will not do. There seems to be a
string on Teddy just the same as any
other public man, and he is not per-
mitted to ignore the prophecies with
out being called down. The presi-
dent has a most uncomfortable jaw
tackle which causes him to speak
first and think afterward, but that
backbone of his can and does weaken
occasionally.

The Other Side of the Question.


[Quite a spirited reply was called
forth by the expostulation of the lady
cyclist, which was noted in our last
issue. The following answer is dedi-
Gated 'to the most loveliest lady that
has such a kick coming. Ed
Madame:
Please hold yourself to the truth.
That gate is not locked nor ever was.
That road is private road that
reaches to this place and this place
only.
Please remember this is no park or
public property. 1t is my home and
just as private as your own dooryard.
Will you please tell me who has
cleared and worked up those shady
delightful spots" and for whose bene-
fit was all this done?
Madame, would you like to have
me come into your dooryard with
some friends to have a picnic Would
you like a dozen or more come each
day asking you for drink, some but
termilk or can you give us some
bread and butter, we are nearly
starved. At what time have you din
ner we will come in and have some
with you instead of walking back to
town. Have you a fish pole? Have
you some hooks? Have you a line,
to let me have? We are out for a
stroll and would like to fish. These
are every day occurrences. You
would be very pleased to live here
and find a lot of people coming to
fish and hunt. Shooting, yes, not only
men, but some so-called ladies will
carry their pistols around with them
and shoot at most anything. Many
a time the bullets have whistled past
close to our heads.
Yes, Mr.. Anderson is a mean man:
but nothing compared to his old frau.
She had the sign put up this year,
and glad of it if it will keep only one
woman like yourself away. The
sign reads mo fishing or trespassing
on these premises" There is no
stream mentioned. AS to fishing, we
own the land from the dam 10 below
the railroad track, both sides the
stream, a stretch of three-fourths OIL
a mile. People are welcome, both
sides, up or down; but not in the
dooryard. I suppose what you mean
by the lower road is down through
our pasture. Supposing you had gone
on and the bull had chased you. That
would have been worse than "hike
up the hill"
Yes, Mr.. Anderson is a selfish crea
ture, indeed, that will not let such an
enthusiastic woman cyclist ride over
him.
MRS. c. H. ANDERSON.

CITY OFFICIAL PAPER
DOGGONE THE DOGS

Just at this time when Chief John
son is commencing his annual cru
SADIE against unlicensed dogs, a most
troublesome experience, too, it may
be interesting to know the plans for
eradicating the dog nuisance in Great
Falls. The authorities there are pre-
pairing to make dog life anything but
a dream of pleasure. Recently city
alderman who has been run over by
been taking steps toward getting an
ordinance passed prohibiting the run
ming at large of the pet canine. A
petition with this end in view secured
many signatures and it seems prob
able that such regulation Will soon
obtain in that city. The running OF
dogs at large is proving to be very
serious nuisance here and elsewhere,
and the Great Falls experience is
probably duplicated in kalispell as
everywhere. One man in speaking
for the measure stated that he had
boulevarded and curbed 600 feet of
street at a considerable expense and
now his boulevard looks as if a flock
of sheep had passed over the grass
plats, but in fact the damage was
h1,I IL Wi
There are many people in the city
who have dogs and no use for them.
Chickens are kept from running at
large-they are necessities-dogs are
not. When talked to in regard to the
matter the residents of the city
seemed to be generally in favor Of
it and when the petition was circu-
lated it met with more success than
any petition which has ever been cir
culated here before. A great many
of the people came to us to be al
lowed to sign it"
People who own dogs will simply
be required to keep them on their
premises under such a proposed reg
ulation, and the dog catcher will mott
fly the owner whenever a licensed
dog is picked up proving around the
streets, the license tag will protect
them, but woe unto the cur which is
untagged and unknown, but persists
in making daily jaunts about the
neighborhood, jumping fences anc
scratching up the ground. 1t were
better for him had he never beer
born.
This really seems to be the best
solution of the dog nuisance ant
would undoubtedly be hailed with
great favor by people who have orna
mental grounds or gardens. To fence
against the vagrant dog is unsightly
if not an impossibility, and if Rove,
is securely chained in his own yard
except when taken out for a wall
by his owner, there will be no kicks
coming. Runaway accidents, children
being bitten by cross mongrels ant
destruction of gardens will all be o
the past with such an ordinance il
vogue. And, besides, it will be O
vast assistance to the pound officers
who will know which dog is entitle,
to protection.
There are some newly graded an
seeded grounds in Kalispell whicl
have been noticed recently, that hav
already been turned into a dog pas
ture, though the householders ais
have dogs which are parity too blame
