pecially in the populous centers. OF
late. though, spurred by the Anti
Saloon League and other prohibition
lists anxious to see the law enforced to
the letter, the screws have been put on
to degree that has caused reaction,
as it has in Vermont. New Hampshire
is a Republican state, but not over
whelmingly so. The Republican party
is responsible for the liquor laws.
whatever they are. In the recent Re-
publican gubernatorial canvass, these
laws came in for earnest discussion.
At the convention, a platform was
adopted, after lengthy debate, that
referred the question TO the legisla-
ture soon to be chosen, with a recon-
mendation that such changes be made
as would better conform TO the needs
of the state, in its various localities. 1t
was platform, as one of its advocates
said, that both prohibitionists and To-
cal optionists could stand on and thus
keep the party united. In other words
it was a straddle, adopted to serve the
party's purpose. A proposition for
referendum, which had the support of
the prohibitionists,w was defeated. Hon.
Nahum J. Batchelder was nominated
for governor. Now comes the Hon.
Alonzo Elliott of Manchester, who an
nounces that he will run independent
ly on local option-anti-ring platform.
He is a Republican, but will welcome
the support Of local optionists of all
parties. He is the Clement OF New
Hampshire. Whether he possesses the
energy and ability of his Vermont
remains to be seen. If he
puts these qualities into full play and
effectively, he may cause the
straight party men no end OF worri-
ment. Whether he succeeds or not.
the chances are that the movement
will result in bringing the issue to the
front and compelling Its early settle
ment. 1t is perfectly plain that in
both Vermont and New Hampshire
state prohibition is on the defensive
and is engaged in a struggle for its ex-
stence. In Maine, the anti-prohibi-
DRY sentiment is as yet less pronounc-
ID, and as the system is firmly fixed in
hat state by constitutional provision
I would be more of task TO over
brow it.

THE QUESTION OF FUEL.

With the near approach of cold
weather, the conditions consequent
upon the strike in the anthracite coal
regions command widespread atten-
ton. The question of fuel is one that
comes home to each one of us-yes.
"comes home" is the proper term. 1t
''affects the fireside" of every house
hold in the land, as we frequently say
of other questions of moral character.
1t even threatens the fireSide with alb
solute cold and dismal darkness. 1t
brings within the range of possibility
the suferings that our severe northern
winters impose when fuel products of
mine and forest are denied to our
people.
The coal miners strike began the
first of last May. Itgrew out of a de-
mand by the United Mine Workers,
the labor organization of the miners,
for considerable increase in wages,
which was denied by the mine oper-
ators. The men went Oua.
In spite OF all attempts by either of
the parties, or by influential third par
ties to end the differences, the strike
is still on, with no settlement in sight.
The mine owners and operators turn a
deaf ear to all demands for concessions
or requests that they submit: the ques-
tions at issue to arbitration. 1--WE
will yield nothing; there is nothing to
arbitrate," is their ultimatum. And
the miners declare they will never go
back to work on the old terms.
The anthracite mines are practically
all owned or controlled by the railway
companies whose lines reach into this
field. They are great aggregations of
capital, who announce that they con-
duct their affairs on strict business
principles, without reference to senti-
ment. They seek to get coal mined as
cheaply as they can and to sell it as
dearly as they can, in order that the
dividends OF their companies may
prove attractive to investors and salts
factory 10 those who mold the stock.
They are bloodless, soulless corpora
tons, of the kind that makes plutoc-
racy hateful. They control by far the
greater part of the anthracite output OF
America, and by means of association
with each other, are able to fix the
price of coal where it is about impos-
sible for other producers to affect
them. Being at once producers and
transporters, they have a manifest adj
vantage in the market. They have
monopolized most of the rich anthra-
cite regions, and scrupulously guard
against threatening competition.
The coal miners are largely foreign
ers, Poles, Lithuanians and the like,
whose feeble individuality would offer
no bulwark to the exactions OF the
areat monopoly whose hirelings they
re. But they have the instinct of
self-preservation, and. directed by
able leaders, have formed an organiza-
ton for the purpose of protecting their
interests and securing a fair share OF
the profits of their labor in the mines.
This union has membership of l60,-
coo in the anthracite section, and the
bituminous or soft coal miners have a

Rev. j. O. Sherburne, the Prohibi-
ZIONIST candidate for governor, advises
the Republican members of the gener-
al assembly who are believers in pro-
hibition to ignore the promise of ref
erendum and to vote solidly against
the local option bill. He attempts TO
justify his advice by the argument
that the referendum was adopted TO
placate Clement and that Clement by
boiling, relieved the party of all obli-
cation toward him, and now that he
seems to have been defeated his cause
should fall with him. Anyhow, Mr..
Sherburne says, "the promise would
be more honored in the breach than in
the observance This is queer logic
from a clergyman But then, Mr..
Sherburne doesn't view the matter in
the light that most Republicans do.
He has no interest in maintaining that
party. He overlooks the fact that
thousands of votes that would have
otherwise gone to Clement were cast
for Mccullough on account of the ref
erendum plank. How would these
voters take square reputation OF
that plank? Nothing would suit
Clement better than to have the Re.
publican party play recreant to its
promise. He could then say, "What
did tell you? You will have to look
to me and my following for local OPP
ton, " and two years hence his major
ity would be about 10000. The fact
that he bolted does not release the Re
publican party from its pledge, which
was made not only to Clement, but tC
every voter.
