The probability Is that II would. even
If, as the question supposes, all the
type kept up by the various printers
Of Bibles and Testaments and prayer
books were also destroyed. In the first
place, such a vast number Of commen-
taries have been published in different
languages ON various portions of the
Bible that it would almost be possible
TO reconstruct the Scriptures from
them, and such deficiencies as existed
would be supplied by ancient writings,
mainly controversial works, which re-
produce the text very fully. Sermons.
homilies and kindred works would also
be of great assistance, and such de-

MAKING VITAL LAW.


More is involved in the coal strike
arbitration than the mere difference
between the operators and the miners
in this particular controversy.
Conflicting statements have been
made respecting the mining industry
and the public are naturally curious
to have precise information
Organized labor has been given for
NAL recognition of organized c"pital,
and the interest Of the public rs a
party in the dispute has been conced-
ed by both.
Recognition has been given to the
great fundamental truth that a strike
that creates disorder and deranges
general business is a public question.
not a private one.
For the FIRST time I'm the history OF
labor troubles in this country II has
become a conceded and accepted prin
ciple that the power OF self protection
and administration of justice rests
within the whole people.
The commission Is judge and jury.
It's findings as to questions Of fact
and its award will be received by the
public with respect and confidence
which attaches 10 the cetisicu of a
judicial tribunal. IL rrt,t If ueces eity

In this arrangement labor gains

over right for imperial Justice will
hold the scales and its DEGREES will be
enforced by the supreme power of the

Capital too, will be secure against

Each side will learn TO look upon a
dispute not with an eye single to its
own advantage. but with broad sur.
yey of the rights OF both, by which the
dispute must at last be measured.
So the American public has been
looking to this arbitration commission
TO go beyond the mere settlement of
this strike, not in indifference alone.

principle for the adjustment of differ.

Glory for the Wrong Place.

.. Hot Springs. Arkansas, has for so
many years been famous that it is tax
ing some people long time to find
out that there are others. Mr.. j.. b.
Hedge, who published the STAR here
: for year, encloses us the following
clipping and says: II clipped the in
closed from recent issue of the Daily
Iowa Capital. It ought to be correct
ed. Hot Springs, Ark, gets too much
credit for the excellencies of Hot
Springs, s. OAK" The item reads:
"Clara Lacey Greene, who is visiting
in Hot Springs, Ark, celebrated cleo
tion day by pluoking a box of floral
mementoes to send to her Des Moines
friends. The November day found
sweet peas and other flowers growing
in profnsion, and the strawberry plants
bearing fruit, which was plucked fresh
while Iowa voters we're shivering
toward the polls"
Mr.. Hedge is right in declaring that
slot Springs, Arkansas gets too much
credit for the excellencies of Hot
Springs, s. Oak" The fact is Mrs.
Greene sent those "mementos" from
Hot Springs, SOUTH DAKOTA.
But we suppose the newspaper men
who never manage to get out this way
may be excused for their ignorance,
fer it really does seem strange that
such fact as is contained in the item
above quoted rgcould be true of our
South Dakota Hot Springs. Yet we
who have lived here for the past fifteen
years can vouch for such things being
of no uncommon occurrence. They
happen every year "while Iowa voters
are shivering toward the polls" and in
fact all winter the contrast is lust as
great, and we want the Iowa Capital,
and all other capital newspapers to
impress their whole force of employees
with the fact, and remember that their
near neighboring state has Hot Springs

Yellowstone Park Travel.

Yellowstone National Park travel
during the season recently closed was
exceeded in numbers only by the sea-
son of 1897. The park transportation
company carried $50 persons through
the park during 9o2-fitty-three less
than we're carried in the banner year
of 1897. The park hotel company fur
nished accommodations for 6,34O per-
sons, of whom 1929 entered the park
via the Northern Pacific Burlington
gateway, while 1,l41 entered by way of
Monida. August saw the largest num-
Der of tourists. During that month
1915 we're cared for at the hotels.
A further idea of the success of the
season in Yellowstone Park can be
gained from the fact that it required
593 horses, 175 men and ITO vehicles to
handle the traffic in the park. Feed
for the horses consisted of 1000 tons
of hay and 1,OOO,O0O pounds of oats.
These figures are taken from reports
just filed with the United States gov
ernment.
And still the Black Hills, with the
attractions of Wind Cave, and few
baths and rest here at Hot Springs,
is just as delightful trip as the Yell
lowstone Park trip. 1t will not be long
before this region will surpass the
Yellowstone Park in the number of
its visitors.
