Danger of a coal famine. He says:
There is an ample supply of bitumi-
nous coal in this part OF the country

\ the press Of the Atlantic seaboard and
the operators in and the miners of an
| thracite ignore the fact that anthracite
constitutes barely one-fifth of the coal
produced in the United States, and the
further fact that coal OF all kinds can
readily be imported from abroad to sup
ply the need of the Atlantic tseaboard.
From national point ofeview there is
no coal crisis but merely one of the
many strikes which the United Mine
Workers of America from time to time
fomented Just now the trouble hap
pens to lie in that small area of about
500 square miles in northeastern Penn

When we recall that Pennsylvania it
self produces vastly more tons of btu

minous than of anthracite, that twenty
eight other sovereign states also mine

fact, the bituminous is and anthracite
is not the fuel of the people. we can
possess our souls in patience and en-

without fear of any calamity other than
such as may befall the contending par

counties in PENNSYLVANIA to which this
strike is confined

notices that the only depressing note is
| the acuteness of the coal situation. This
disturbs trade to some extent, but only
in a minor way. The money stringen-
cy seems to have abated and is not con-
sidered disturbing factor
In the mercantile trade dealers in
many lines are urgent for prompt ship
ments, calling upon jobbers and manu-
facturers for goods already overdue.
This indication of reduced stocks as a
result of large retail buying is regarded
as good sign and tends to sustain quo
tations.
The continuous rains In Iowa and
other sections of the west have tended
to retard business, bad roads placing an
embargo on traffic to some extent.

ROOSEVELT AND the pArRlclaNs,

Behind the coal strike situation is
OF politics. President Roosevelt with
his characteristic impetuosity and fear
less faculty for facing every duty brave
~ has endeavored to induce the coal
operators and the men to get together
on settlement of the strike. The OPP
orators very graciously met at the white
house and then proceeded to slap the
president in the face. The result of the
meeting to him was hunliliating fails
ure.
This recalls the course of certain pa
trician senators and congressman last
winter when the president had set his
heart upon giving fair play to Cuba.
For time the chief executive was hui
inflated by defeat. but he went to the
people and state after state endorsed
him amid cheers and the waving OF
banners in their state conventions. This
somewhat cruel expression of public
sentiment did not serve to placate the
EalrlclanS 10 any great extent. so
when the president started upon a
speech making tour devoted to the trust
issue 1t was not surprising that we
should begin to hear, ;altho somewhat
vaguely. of ]. Pierpont Morgan's re-
monstrance. The rough rider presi-
dents readiness to tell man to go to
hell with much the same tone OF voice
that he would use to turn steer did
not serve to cultivate any strong friend
ship with Mr.. Morgan, hence the re-
Spouse to the presidents requests of the
cordial kindness on the part of Nor
Ean's minions, the coal road presi-
dents. President Roosevelt will yet have
occasion to appeal to the people a few
times before he has the nomination for

Talk and think in the billions are not

The reduction in the price of meat

month. There is not much satisfaction.
tho, for the consumer in knowing that
the producers have suffered somewhat
by the high prices. When any commod-
ity in general use is raised to an unfair
rate the demand is bound to fall off, but
the sellers are much less numerous than
the buyers. and are compensated some
what by the added tariff. The proper
business policy is large sales and mod
crate profits, not merely because it
pays, but because it is beneficial to the
people, who must be considered, soon
err or later, in any permanent and sue

An old Fashioned Woman.

No clever brilliant thinker she.
With college record and degree.
She has not known the paths OF fame:
The world has never heard her name.
She walks in old long trodden ways.
The valleys Of the yesterdays.
Home is her kingdom. love her dover:
She seeks no other wand Of power
To make home sweet. bring heaven near.
To win smile and wipe a tear
And do her duty day by day
In her own quiet place and way.
Around her childish hearts are twined.
AS round some reverend saint enshrined
And following hers the childish feet
Are led to ideals true and sweet
And find all purity and good
In her divinest motherhood.
This sad old earth's brighter place
All for the sunshine of her face.
Her very smile q blessing throws.
And hearts are happier where she goes,
A gentle. clear eyed messenger
To whisper love: thank God for her!
