TRUST ouIBgLERs AMUSING.

Republicans are becoming amusing
in their bubbles over the trusts and
the tariff. One of the chief of these
mirth provokers is Judge Birdsall, of
Iowa, who is planning to secure a GER
tificate to rattle around in the shoes
of one David Bremner Henderson.
Birdsall is sorry that he cannot indorse
both Gov. Cummins and Speaker Hen
derson. He assures the governor that
he stands on the shelter" plank of the
Des Moines platform. At the same
time he takes occasion to say that
While the tariff should be cut If neces-
sary to curb trusts there must always
be protection for the American work.
ingman.
What solicitude for the man who
earns his living by the sweat of his
brow! What love for the poor fellow
who has nothing to do but work.
What rubbish! Judge Birdsan is, we
take it, something over seven years
old If he is ne knows that such pro-
lection as the worker gets comes to him
through his own organizations for the
purpose.

and dangerous attitude which they
have chosen.
1t is ineomprehensible. that an off,
cial claiming to occupy neutral po-
sition, and whose sympathies are de-
clared by his friends to be on the side
of the weaker party to the struggle,
could deliberately have made such a
request In view Of the attitude taken
by the operators the country will fully
justify the refusal Of the miners or
ganization to grant it, and will concur
in his statement that in the present
status of the efforts to settle the con-
troversy, it is a proposal from the OPP
orators rather than a reply to such re-
quest, that is in order at this time.
1t is amongst the possibilities Of the
case that the presidents request may
be granted by the miners, just as 1t is
that the operators may come down
from their lofty position and offer
some suggestion Of settlement besides
the one of sending the United States
troops into the coal fields. But
whether or not either possibility is re-
allied the request Of the president Is
palpably unjust to one side and it's
declination will be fully warranted
under all the circumstances.

INCONSIDERATE AND UNREA.
SONARI

President Roosevelt appears to have
caused a request to be made in his
name Of the representative of
the miners now on strike that
they return to work with the under
standing that commission would be
appointed by him to inquire into the
existing controversy, and that he will
urge a. settlement on the lines of the
report to be made by his commission.
1t is worthy of note in connection
with this suggestion that the papers
which are friendly to the operators
have seized on this request, and the
Mitchell to act on it, as weapon of
attack on the miners.
The president is called on by his
duty to the country to do what in his
power lies to secure a settlement of
the existing strike. His efforts in that
direction have thus far resulted only
in fat refusal on the part of one of
the parties to the controversial
owners-to consider any plan of set
tlement which did not involve the I'M
conditional surrender of the other.
This refusal it accompanied by abuse
which the country recognizes as essen
TALLY unjust and Slanderous. The mi
ners, on the other hand, have offered
through their representatives to re-
turn to work if the operators would
submit the difficulties to arbitration
by the president or the appointees of
the president This proposal has, of
course, been scornfully rejected and
the country is now confronted by the
horrors Of a fuel famine which will
throw thousands out of employment,
cut off their means of subsistence and
bring untold suffering on the masses,
with the only alternative of being pro-
vided with a necessarily insufficient
supply of foreign coal at high prices.
In such situation as this, can it
be said that the request of the presi-
dent is q fair one to make? Til e
Globe unhesitatingly declares it's
opinion that the request is inconsider-
ate and essentially unjust to the men.
Whether such was the intention of
the president, his request must op-
crate to place the men at a disadvan-
tage, and to furnish to the operators d
possible means of escape from the con-
sequences of the arbitrary, unpatriotic

Board is Criticised.
Regarding the purchase of goods by
the board, the report says: 'The
manner in which supplies are purchas-
ed has come in for it's full share Of
criticism, principally from institution
towns and those who, not being able
to meet the sharp competition that now
prevails for the states business, have
fallen by the wayside. Exceptions
have also been taken by very few
people and one or two newspapers to
the action of the board in not OPEN
ing bids publicly and allowing bidders
to be present. The proposals are
open for inspection at any and all times
by the governor, the public examiner,
committees from either branch of the
Legislature, OF by any court of rec
ord"
In answer to the complaint about
nearly all the goods being purchased
from firms outside the state, the board
quotes figures showing that, under the
old system, for the year ending July
81, 1901, goods to the amount of $685.
337 were purchased outside of institu-
ton towns; S301,365 in institution
towns, and $67,350 worth in other
states. Purchases by the state board
for the year ending July 81, 1902, show
goods to the amount of S146,706 pur-

State May Recover Money.
"The common practice seems to have
been not only to allow officers and
members Of the different boards to fix
their own salaries, but to pay them
from the treasury of the state without
any semblance of a law authorizing
the same. In some cases these prac-
tees have continued for years and the
aggregate amount involved must be
very large, and we believe a system
attic investigation along these lines, if
persistent, will lead to the recovery OF
large amount of money by the state"
The board, according to it's report,
has made saving of $105,S61 at the
various institutions against the ex-
penditures of the previous year
AS to the financial affairs of the
state university, the report says: 1.-The
regents were willing to have the board
of control assume the responsibility of
approving the expenditures of the uni
versity, if the full power of making
them remained with the regents. Man.
agement of the university by two
boards appears impracticable We be-
lieye we made every effort consistent
with due regard for the best interests
of the university to administer the law
and the responsibility of our failure to
do so rests with the board of regents"

Judge Birdsall and look at things from
the same ground as the common herd.
The trusts are not only supplying the
home market, but going into pracu-
cally every market in the world. They
could do this quite as well if the great
tariff wall were removed. Nothing
could aid the Workingman more,
Judge Birdsall, than this, because while
it would not necessarily reduce the
number of dollars he earns, it would
beyond question give him more of those
commodities he Is obliged to buy
with these dollars.
Judge Birdsall and James A. Tawney
to the contrary Notwithstanding, the
tariff wall puts the cash into the
pockets of the trust baron and the
workingman is as always the forgot
ten man.
