The People Must Have Fua,

1t Is impossible to assent to the proposi
tion that the coal mines in the United
states are simply private property and that
the people or the state. have no interest
therein. The proposition that the people
cannot interfere in a struggle which cuts
on the supply of a natural product nearly
as essential air and light Is untenable.
The state has the right to interpose be-
tween two men fighting in the street 1t
may be strictly a personal matter between
the belligerents. but it is also a state af-
1air In that 1t disturbs the public peace
They may be compelled not only to desist,
but may be punished for ARRAY and dis
order. How, then. is 1t with two sets of
men whose struggle not only disturbs the
peace. but interrupts the business of a
nation and menaces a whole people with
discontinue and bodily ills, with suffering
and possible fatalities? Is there no con-
stitutonal way to stop the fight?
Apparently it is within the power of the
state of Pennsylvania under her constitu-
ticn to end the coal famine today. Her
constitution contains this clause:
The exercise of the police power of the
state shall never be abridged or so COLI
strued as to permit corporations to conduct
their business in such manner as to in

fringe the equal rights Of individuals or the
general well-being Of the state"
The state has power over the mining cor
porations to compel them to furnish coal
or give way to a receiver. and power over
the strikers to prevent them from inter-
fering with violence to check coal mining.
The state is no stranger to interference
in affairs between labor and capital In
the agricultural strikes In Italy the Italian
government sent it's soldiers into the har-
vest fields to reap the grain that was
needed by the people. but which the par
ties to the strike intended to let rot before
either would yield.
The government of the United States has
interfered between labor and capital in
order that the letters of the people might
not be delayed in transit.
If the coal owners and miners will not
protect the people from the danger of
freezing by supplying the nations accus-
toned winter fuel the people. acting
through the state must protect themselves.
and brushing aside in a legal and orderly
way all distractions obtain access to the

The President.

There are three things in the Presidents
case In the highest degree assuring:
% He is young man in fine physical

strong mans scorn of hard knocks The
bruises he received on his face in the Pitts
field accident were promptly attended to
because of their conspicuousness, and no
trouble has resulted from them The blow
upon his leg was neglected, and a penalty
Is exacted. Had that received attention-a
weeks rest would probably have sufficed-
1t Is reasonable to believe that nothing
further would have been heard from It,
CD The President surrenders promptly at
the suggestion of his physicians He con-
quers natural spirit and cancels a portion
of an alluring program out of Difference to
the Importance of his office and the inter-
ests of the people. This promises good be-
havior on the part of the patient while he
is stretched upon his back. He will take
his medicine and obey orders-that most
difficult thing for a strong man to do
G) He will be here at the seat of govern
ment. He would have received, of course
the best Of attention anywhere Medical
skill and personal solicitude would have
surrounded his couch at Indianapolis as
they Will in Washington. But elsewhere
than here there would have been an ele-
ment of worry on the patients part about
the public business. That will now be re-
duced to the minimum. Such matters as
may be pressing, and which he may care
to take up. will be at hand with all details
His advisers will be near him. If he choose

satisfaction from the fact, however that he

warmly to his interest. His comrades of
the Spanish war were anxious to greet
him. and he quite as anxious to greet them;

Mr.. Plat at Saratoga.

In the political parlance of New York Mr.
Platt is called the easy boss" Well, 1t
cannot be denied that he has been easy
this time. He seems to have been over
ruled at nearly every point. He started out
by declaring against an Endorsement of Mr..
Roosevelt for 1904. That position had to be
abandoned. He was quoted as in favor of
absolute silence on the trust question. The
platform deliverance Is not striking for ag-
gressiveness as to trusts, but the question
could not be ignored. He opposed Mr.
Woodruff for nomination as lieutenant gov
ernor, and brought forward a Mr. Sheldon
for the place. The Woodruff men made it
so warm for the Plat candidate that Gov
ernor Odell was finally called in and in
duced to order Mr.. Sheldon off the track.
Mr.. Platt couldn't save him. This leaves
the selection Of Mr.. Quigg for temporary
chairman of the convention as Mr.. Platt' 5
sole accomplishment. 1t may prove to be a
good thing for the republicans. Mr.. Platt's
candidacy for reelection to the Senate will
not be opposed in case of republican sue
cess in November, but his reign as dictator
Is drawing to close. Roosevelt and Odell
refuse to bow the knee, and they are too
strong to be cOerced

Extremists Views,

Don't touch the trusts" say some peo-
pie They represent the natural and le-
climate development of business. They
testify to the fact that we are on the crest
OF a great commercial wave. The clamor
against them is grounded either in vicious
ness or ignorance. They will justify them
selves in the long run, and prove of benefit
to the whole country. Don't join In cry
which just now swells In volume purely for
political purposes. Wait a bit and you
see everything come out all right, with the
trusts undisturbed and the peoples interests
we'll served"
Don't touch the tariff" say other people.
''H you do you'll check the existing pros
perity. and you may pull down everything
about our heads. The tariff is all right.
The schedules were prepared by men thor
oughly competent for the work. and they
have accomplished all that promised
and vowed in the name of protection. What
II some industries do enjoy under them
great advantages? 1t is an era of pros
perlty. and the point Is to keep everything
on the boom. If you begin to tinker with
the tariff you won't know where to make
an end. and from the day you begin uneasi-
Hess will seize and hold the business
world"
Against these two expressions are to be
put the expressions of those on the other
extreme.
"All trusts are bad and all trusts must
CO." say the trust busters" The Sher-
man law has failed because it is drafted on
the wrong lines. Recognize the true origin
of trusts. and the remedy is simple. The
tariff is the mother of trusts, and hence by
putting all trust-made articles on the free
list trusts will be brought to an end. That
Is the true and only effective policy. Any
other policy is mere makeShift designed
to deceive 1.-The people"
Regardless of trusts and every other side
issue. protection Is wrong in principle, and
the tariff should CO. say the free traders
of It, but give us the freest trade possible
with all countries. Reciprocity is but a
trick-a concession wrung from those who
see their finish. Don't delay the inevitable
Put us In full touch as soon as possible with
everybody having something to sell and
looking for something to buy
Between these two extremes is found the
sentiment that should control the situation.
There are trusts that need to be curbed,
but free trade in trust-made articles is no
At remedy. The injury that would infict
would not stop at the trusts, but would
tend to innocent branches of trade The
inequalities in the tariff afford no argument
against protection, but rather testify to the
splendid work of the Dingley law. And the
proposition that the schedules cannot be
touched al all without topping over the
whole existing stability of values is absurd

A Star Route. Indeed.

The Louisville Evening Post contains the
following news paragraph of unusual in
terest:
General John B. Castleman has filed with
Postmaster Baker bid for the star route
contract from Pleasant Hill to Burgin. in
Mercer county. The length Of the route Is
six miles.
General Castleman told Postmaster Ba-
ker that if his bid was accepted he intended
to start an innovation in mail carrying.
Instead of the customary conveyance,
said General Castleman. I intend to carry
the mail with a coach and four. Occa-
sionally I will vary this with a tallyho,
and will have outsiders postillions. etc.
The horses will be Kentucky thorough
breds.'
Pleasant Hill is the summer home Of
General Castleman. and is picturesque
spot. His bid for the star route contract
will be filed at Washington tomorrow"
Let US hope that this contract may be
awarded to this distinguished bidder. He
is a man of his word, and when he says he
will perform the service in the style de-
scrbed he means just that. And 1t may
be added that the horses in the traces will
be no more thoroughbred than the driver on
the box. General Castleman served with
distinction in the confederate army and
when the war with Spain was declared he
Kinley. The offer was accepted, and he
commanded a Kentucky regiment in the
Porto Rico campaign under General Miles.
He put his men into the field in such ex-
cellent condition, and otherwise acquitted
himself so well. he was promoted to a
brigadier generally. He Is a man of means,
and lives in comfort. His friends are
legion. He is fond of outdoor sports.
and he knows both the ropes and
the road. He is one of the best whips in
a state where whips are numerous. Uncle
Sam is getting pretty rich, and it may be
that in time he will deliver the mails over
all the star routes by coach and four. And
as preliminary to so picturesque a de-
parture why not experiment with this route
of six miles between Pleasant Hill and Bur
gin, and cover it in the way proposed by
this Kentucky soldier and citizen?

While the people of the country are not

Quoted for the general welfare and not for
