Washington, Oct. There was an
other cabinet meeting with President
Roosevelt this morning with all mem
bers present but Secretary Shaw. At
torney General Knox said there was
no method by which the government
could legally interfere in the coal
strike.
The president, however, will try
moral suasion on the operators. This
is the only remedy that can be app
piled by the federal government. There
is no form of legal procedure that can
be made operative.
A determination to this effect was
reached yesterday at a conference be-
tween the president, the lawyers Of
the cabinet and Governor Crane, of
Massachusetts.
The conference was the result of
talk between the president and Gov
ernor Crane about the suit that has
been instituted in Boston whereby it is
sought to have receivers appointed for
the incorporating coal companies. At
torney General Knox, Secretary Moody
and Postmaster General Payne were
the ones who participated in the con-
ference with the president and the
governor The attorney general said
that charge of conspiracy in restraint
of trade was impossible. The men who
control the railroads own the mines
and it is impossible for a man to con-
spire with himself.

the probable cost of the plant, he
goes on to show that Mr.. Gates, hav-
ing had so much experience in put
ting in plants on the proposed plan,
can put it in so much cheaper than
the city could. Then he turns right
about face and tells us what an enor-
nous expense it would be for the
city to run the business; that the
income would probably not be near
sufficient to pay expenses, and that
the taxpayers would have TO dig up
the difference. Now Judge, it's too bad
that you are trying to get your client
into such fix. We supposed that
it was an attorneys business to point
out the proper thing for his client to
do and to show him how 10 avoid the
rough and rocky places, but instead
of that you seem to be determined
to unload the citys burden upon his
shoulders, which is liable to break
him up. Should that happen where
would you get your pay? But we
forgot. Lawyers generally collect
on delivery or in advance, 80 you
will be safe, for your client is sure to
have $15, 900 to start in with, no
matter how he comes out at the finish.
The Judge acknowledges that he
is favor of municipal ownership, and
even were it not that he is getting q
big fat fee for looking after the
! proposition, he would be dong all
that he could to down 1T. We are
sorry that the Judge has such pool
opinion Of the ability of oul
city council. He seems to think
that it is composed of very incom
petent set of men, not to be trusted
to do the business for the people

1T is part of the public history
of this state that the industry of

On Monday the supreme court
filed it's opinion in the case of Sweet
vs.. Ballentyne, and in it affirmed the
validity of the law forbidding the
grazing of sheep within two miles OF
any dwelling, and emitting the owner
to recover damages for grass eaten
or other injury. This decision will
not be taken as final by the sheep
men. as they will take the question
of the use of the public range, to the
United States supreme court.
The argument of the court is to
the effect that the settlers need the
grass for their animals, that milch

family, If sheep were given full

the peace and prevents conflicts

good properties will be opened up
there. A man named Garden
