When the United States govern
ment shall nuy the coal fields of
America, and operate them in the
name Of all the people, there will
be no more strikes. Miners will
be paid living wages for fair hours
of work. Coal consumers will es-
cape the regular annual gouge.
Boys who are now forced into the
mines before either body or mind
is fit for the task, to exc out with
their pitiful wages the meager
earnings of their fathers, will then
be kept in school to learn the les
sons of useful citizenship. Thanks
to John Marshall, the father of the
American Constitution, and by
the same token the father of Amer
lean Socialism, as George Wilson
of Lexington, Missouri, reminds
me: the federal government has in
disputable power to take over the
mines. It has several thousand
times the amount Of wealth needed
for the transaction. When will it
acquire the common sense?-From
"Note and Comment" by Frank
Putnam, in July National.

A visit to the country at this
time of the year convinces one of
the large possibilities of Mclean
county and Washburn. The
writer made a tour of inspection
of the grain fields, near the city last
Sunday and he was surprised at
the heavy crop Of grain and vege-
tation--the finest seen in years.
There has been plenty of mois-
ture this spring and summer and
the stand of all small grain is good.
There promises to be a bountiful
harvest this year if nothing pre-
vents. Hay can be cut anywhere
on the prairies, and north of Wash
burn one can see hay shocks dot
ting the prairie in all directions.
There are some excellent gardens
in Washburn and have never been
known to do better, than they have
done this year.

The Republicans of Minnesota
have renominated Gov. VanSant
for governor and his reelection
seems assured. The platform
adopted states: 1T has been the
settled policy. as declared in the
laws of this state for a quarter of
a century, that competing lines Of
railway shall not be merged. We
believe that the protection of the
citizen and his property, as well as
the safety of the state, rests in
obedience to law. and we therefore
heartily commend Gov. Van SAINT
in his efforts to enforce the laws of
this state against the consolidation
of competing lines of railway"

NEBRASKA EXHIBIT.
Capt. Culver Undertakes to Show
What His State Produces.

Capt. ]. H. Culver. past commander of
the Nebraska G. A. r., and c. H. Horth, a
member of Nebraska post, have display
of Nebraska farm products in one of the
large rooms at the National Hotel. Before
leaving Nebraska they made an effort to
have the state send an exhibit, and failing
to interest the state officials in the matter.
they brought the exhibit themselves. These
comrades take great interest in the exhibit,
and are glad to show and explain about the
products Of their state to visitors. Included
in the exhibit are number of varieties Of
apples Of all kinds and descriptions. The
fruit is Of exceptionally fine quality, some
of the apples being particularly large.
THE sugar beet industry Is carried on to
some extent" said Mr.. Horth to Star re-
porter. ''One acre of the beets yielded
twenty-eight tons, which in turn produced
$50 pounds Of the sugar. and some of it
may have reached this CITY,"
Samples of grain and grasses Of every de-
script Ion are included In the exhibit, and
Capt. Culver said the best thing about the
farm products Is that everybody in the
state has full CROP

A Word for the Miners.


To the Editor of The Evening Star:
The live question before the American
people today Is the supply Of coal The
merits of the controversy that has inter-
rupted for so long the operations that bring
to market that which in winter is the chief
necessary in every household, are fairly well
understood by an intelligent public. There
are few who do not sympathize with the
hundred and fifty thousand men who by
the most faithful endeayor cannot earn
sufficient to enjoy even steady supply or
the necessaries of life. There are few who
do not condemn as arbitrary tyrants the
bakers dozen of operators who arrogate
to themselves the right to form the closest
kind of corporation, and deny to the work
men the privilege to associate In lawful
manner.
The rights and the wrongs of the miners
troubles stand out in bold relief. The
operators brought to this country, score
Of years ago, horde Of half-clvilized FOR
eigners, who might labor for wage that
no American citizen should be expected to
subsst his family on. And when even this
unpromising material was organized for;
combat for living wage, the employment
was SO systematically regulated that no
man might have the opportunity to labor
more than the number Of days that should
keep him and his just above the line of
starvation. systematically, diabolically,I
have these men persisted In SO treating
their workmen that life to them should be
without a ray Of sunshine, that their spirit
should be broken that their ambition
should die. That, IN the face Of all this
such men az Mitchell succeeded In organ
izing this material Is one Of the miracles
of the industrial history Of the land.
The battle that has been waged now for
nigh O. half year Is most righteous one.
The miners deserve to gain their modest de-
mands. These demands are small indeed,
and no honest employer would deny them.s
To be brief, the principal one Is that ton
for which the miner Is paid be no more
than 2. 24O pounds. Surely, no just man
would say them nay In that. However, if
anything was needed to show in indelfbla
colors the disposition of the respective lead;
ers in this battle the willingness Of Mitchell
and the yociferous objection OF the opera
tors to leave the determination of the
points at issue to the President proved sufl
ficient. /
1 believe the nation is well nigh a unfit In
conceding the Justice of the miners cause.
But, as the President SO eloquently pointed
out, the winter Is at hand-a prolongation
Of the paralysis of mining operations means
untold suffering to an entire nation. 1t re-
