Notes of the Strike.

The estimated losses to miners. oper-
ators, railroads and business men so
far by the strike is estimated at $14l,-
5O0.0
Boston people wonder why the price
of soft coal remains so high, when over
$4,000 tons is allowed to lie in vessels
i'm the stream.
Unless many signs fail. this week
will see a crash in coal prices at New
York. Some dealers predict that it will
come. Monday, and that instead of
having to pay SIS a ton for domestic
sizes consumers will be able to get II
for S12 or less. Other dealers. who are
regarded as more conservative, believe
the tumble will not come till late in
the week. The fact that coal for de-
livery in a week was offered at $12 a
ton. Saturday. gave many persons their
first inkling of the prospective crum-
bling of the market. This price Is vast
ly less than the quotations made. Fri.
day, for future delivery. The offerings
at that figure were few, and were COB

FARMERS MEETINGS NEXT WEEK.

Don't overlook the farmers conventions to be
held in Raleigh next week. On Wednesday night
in the auditorium of the Agricultural Building
the State Farmers Association and the State Hor-
t%icultural Society will meet. The first named or
ganization will assemble at Z p. m. and at $50 p.
m. give way to the Horticultural Society. Ad-
dresses will then be made by DR.. Liberty ID. Bal
lev, one of the leading agricultural educators OF
the world, and editor of Country Life IN Amer
lea" bv two representatives of the United States
Department of Agriculture, Col. G. b. Bracket,
Pemologist. and Prof. w. A. Taylor, Field PomOl-
opist. and by DR.. Frederick w. Taylor who IS to
manage the agricultural exhibit at the Worlds
Fair at St. Louis. To hear these men will IN 1T
self be worth a trip to Raleigh.
On Thursday night, as will be seen from the
calls published on page /, the annual meetings of
the State Agricultural Society and the State To
bacco Growers Association will be held. The re-
cent combine of British and American trusts will
make the last named meeting one of more than
ordinary Importance, while the Agricultural So
cietv is to have a splendid exhibition of the work
that is being done by the Agricultural Depart
ment of the A. and NJ. College. An interesting
program has been prepared, and we are sure that
our Young friends (most of them have contributed
articles to The Progressive Farmer) will make a
showing creditable to the College and to the cause
of agricultural education.

A Thought for the Week.

In political life, whether a man acts without or
within party lines is not of very great moment, if
only he always acts honestly, fearlessly and eff
fertivclv; but remember that it is necessary to be
both efficient and upright, too. Parties are neces-
sary. Without association and organization, and
the necessary partial subordination of individual
preferences, no great work can be done; but on
the other hand, no man has a right to condone
crime, to excuse moral shortcomings of any kind,
because Of alleged party necessity-Theodore
Roosevelt.
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1902-10-21
A Revolutionary Doubt.

There is beginning to appear in the public press
of the more conservative class the question, more
or less openly asked, Why should the total sup
ply of anthracite coal for the use of a great ma
tton be controlled by private owners, who have
shown themselves conspicuously unfit for the re
sponsibility? This is not a mere Socialists cry
against private property. It is merely the popu-
larizing of the distinction made by all economists
between property acquired by labor and property
that consists in the control of a natural monop-
oily. There is labor concerned in the utilization
of any natural monopoly, such as a mine orr nat
uraI gas well, but the labor cost is but a small
element in the market price of the product. That
price is governed not by free competition, but by
the monopoly value fixed by agreement, and at
times like the present becomes a scarcity price
that bears no reasonable relation whatever to the
labor cost or to legitimate interest and profit on
the capital invested. Minerals found in the earth,
like water and air, are in the last analysis proper
subjects of private control only by the consent
of society. They bear no resemblance to the
grain which the farmer raises at a cost which is
chiefly a labor cost, nor to the factory-made tool
or cloth or vehicle. The supply of these mineral
and other natural products is limited, and as it
decreases the right of the public to a share in its
control increases. An instructive illustration of
this self-evident principle is found in the increas-
ing public control of water rights in the arid
West as the available supply becomes more and
more important for irrigation. Now the people
are asking whether private ownership in the case
of the anthracite mines is not based on a falsely
liberal idea of property-whether the vital inter
ests of the whole people do not require public
ownership by purchase, or at least a far more de-
tailed and efectual regulation of the wages and
prices than is now attempted by the mining laws.
Of course the mere suggestion of transferring the
ownership of the coal mines to the corrupt polit-
ical machine of the State of Pennsylvania under
present conditions seems absurd as a practical
proposition. But the significant thing is that
thoughtful and conservative men are becoming
aroused to the anomalous powers granted by So
ciety to those who control some of our great
staples, and the tremendous losses sustained by
their dealing with public problems as a private
quarrel. The time may come when the "coal
barons" will look back upon this strike as the
worst piece of folly of which they were ever gull
ty.-Chicago Standard.

Knights.

To reverence their conscience as their king,
To break the heather and uphold the Christ,
To ride abroad redressing human wrongs,
To speak no SANDER, no, nor listen to it,
To honor his own words as if his Gods,
To lead sweet lives in purest chastity,
To love one maiden only, cleave to her,
TO worship her by years of noble deeds,
Not only to keep down the base in man,
But teach high thought and amiable words,
And courtliness and the desire of fame
And love of truth and all that makes a man.

owe shut our eyes, and see a picture which is
richer than the richest page torn from romance.
We see a lean, saIlow, awkward, stunted lad step
forth from the door of the old house .Ure disforth
into the world, with no money III his pJeanf and
no powerful friends to lift him over the rough
places. He Is only nine years old when he leaves
home, and we see him weep bitterly as he bids his
mother good-by. We see him at school in France,
isolated. wretched, unable at first to speak the
language. fercely resenting the Sights put upon
his poverty. his ignorance, his family, his coun-
try--sufering but never subdued. We see him
rise against troubles as the eagle breasts the
storm. We see him lay the better half of the civ
ilized world at his feet. We see him bring sisters
and brothers from the island home and put crowns
on their heads"
Such in brief is the story of the rise of Napo-
leon, "the moneyless lad from despised Corsica,
who stormed the high places of the world, and by
his own colossal strength of character, genius and
industry took them" That it is a highly interest
ing subject no one will deny; that Mr.. Watson
handles it in a highly entertaining manner every
one who reads his book will acknowledge. Its au-
thor has at last found his element; he is a born
historian and biographer. We have never read a
more interesting historical work than his "Story
of France" A prominent judge said to us recent
ly that it is the greatest book that has been writ
ten in the South since the war. The Life of Ma
poleon is in every respect its equal, and is in fact
a continuation of it, for the "Story of France"
ends with the consulate of Napoleon and from
that time till Waterloo the story of Napoleon is
the story of France.
Napoleon" is as interesting as a novel. The
reader is not burdened with wearisOme statistics
and plans of Napoleonic campaigns; he does get
"the great Corsican's proper historical position,
his true rating as a man and as a ruler"
The many ISLANDERS of Napoleon make Mr.. Wat
son assume the attitude of defender. eff we
would correctly judge Napoleon, let us keep our
