With the coal trust and the meat trust
raising prices and refusing to raise wages,
the issue between those concerns and the peo-
pie is fast being made up. They are engaged
in monumental folly and every man of
property in the country ought to find some
way of communicating this universal opinion
to the needless barens of the mines and the
abbatoirs. -.

Already the shipment of Texas cattle to
South Africa has begun in order to restock
the Boer farms. One cargo of 800 has been
sent forward, and it is reported that 10000
will be sent during the year If cattle are
SO cheap elsewhere, and are of as fine quality
as those who are raging about the tariff
for keeping out foreign cattle declare them
to be, why does Great Britain come here to
purchase cattle to restock South Africa and
arrange to run regular line of steamers
between Galveston and South Africa to ship
them?

FLAG DAY

To-day is known in our calendar Of
festal days as alag Day" 1t was set
apart by the American Flag association as
celebration, because on June IA, 1777, con-
gress enacted that "the flag of the .thir-
teen United States be thirteen stripes,
alternate red and white; that the union
be thirteen 4stars,B!s white in a blue field,
representing a new constellation" In
1918 patriotiessAmericans, finding that the
country was expanding and that it was
very probable that new states would con-
tinue to apply for admission, and that the
blue field could hold a good many stars,
secured an act of congress providing that,
on the admission of new state into the
union;- one star be added to the union Of
the flag, to take effect on the fourth day
of July following such admission. At that
time there were twenty states in the
union. The stars have now been increased
until there are forty five cleaning in the
blue field. Flag Day is certainly a good
day to commemorate. We are not given
to making many holidays in this country.
we would be better off if We had few
more. It has been said that men and
women are only children in capital let
ters. They need about as much as the
children of the lower case letters to have
a play time, which means relaxation and
rest for tired minds and bodies. Flag
Day ought to be day of patriotic inspira-
tion. 1t is very near the national holiday
of July 4, but that ought not to abate
the fervor with which the day is cele-
brated. = .. - ...y' .-,. ~. -..s..,.- 81
Our flag is older than the flags Of
Great Britain 1sO1), Of Spain Q7s5), OF
France (17s4, of Portugal Os3O), of Ger

dual kingdom of Sweden and Norway, Of

and there is no doubt that every patriotic
American believes in his heart that cole
Glory is the most beautiful and inspiring

war for the union, no poet Of England ol
of any other country can address us a.

When the supply gets still lower and the
price still higher the coal operators will have
public support in almost any efforts which
they make to put nonunion labor into their
mines to get out coal which the public
MUST HAVE. Not because the public fa-
vors the Coal trust. but because it must have
coal In the meantime the strikers lose their
wages, the public is bled and the sellers of
coal gather tremendous profits!

capital added to give 1t facilities for

appliances on an extensive scale, nu-
merous big orders have been secured

ing in that the present facilities of the
plant are sorely taxed. However, as
improvements that are in process of
completion, the concern will be in such
shape as to employ such n number Of
hands as will surprise the residents
of this community who have no con-
ception of the possibilities of the new
company.
The latest thing to direct attention
to the new company and to give an
idea of the possibilities of the plant
is the acquisition of w. r. Johnson, eX-
master mechanic of the Delaware and
Hudson company's shops in this city.
Mr.. johnson will act as general man
ager of the new foundry and machine
shops. The circumstance of a man
so skilled in mechanics and who filled
such capacities as being secured as
general manager shows that the Metal
Working company is building on some
big achievements. Mr.. Johnson leaves
the position of travelling engineer for
the Allis- Chalmers company, of Scran-
ton to return to Carbondale.

South, has proved a welcome-and in
view of the increased travel-a neces
sary addition to the means of inter-
communication between these two Sec
tions. This train Is running heavily
loaded every day, every compartment
and staterOom being taken, and 1t has
frequently been necessary to put on
additional sleeping cars in order to
accommodate the demand. The popu-
larity of this train Is mainly due to
the prominence of the points which it
touches and the quick time which 1t
makes between New York and Florida.
Another train operated by the Southern
Railway system is the Washington and
Southwestern Limited. Its close con-
nection with the Sunset Limited of
the Southern Pacific company at New
Orleans to Mexico and the Pacific
coast makes it popular southern
route for winter travel. This system
offers quick service to the beautiful
Land of the Sky" the mountain reg
ion of North Carolina, within which
are located such famous resorts as
Pnehurst Asheyille and Hot Springs,
also to Columbia. SummerVille, Aiken
and Augusta. These places are easily
reached and is one of the main rea-
sons for the present great increase of
Southern travel. The travel to the
still milder and more southernly To-
Gated resorts in Florida, st. Augustine
Palm Beach, Ormond, Tampa and 9th
er places on both the Atlantic and
Gulf coasts of the state seems to be
equally heavy. The Southern Railway
route is also most popular among
travellers to Cuba, since the quick time
made between New York and Tampa
and Miami, materially shortens tl1e trip
to Havana. Travel westward through
the Gulf states to New Orleans and
the west is unusually heavy, and the
approaching Mardi Gras festivities In
New Orleans are also attracting con-
siderable number of northern visitors
to that city. Complete information In
regard to reaching all of the above
resorts can be procured of Chas. L.

FUNERAL OF PETER MCCARTHY.
obsequies in Mayfeld of a Man Well
Known in Carbondale.

The respect and esteem in which the
late Peter Mccarthy was held by his
fellow citizens of Mayfield were strik-
ingly shown by the large crowd which
followed the deceased to his last rest
ing place yesterday. The cortege moved
from the late home of deceased on
Popular street at 0:30 o'clock and was
one of the largest ever attended in
the borough. At the Sacred Heart
church a requiem mass was sung by
Rev. Jeremiah Dunn, the pastor. At
the conclusion of the mass he delivered
an eloquent sermon and during it he
eulogized the deceased in glowing
terms. He also extended his sncerest
sympathy to the family. The A. o. II.
and the tiremen marched in the funeral
procession. The floral pieces presented
by those two societies and the Bakers
union of this city We're beautiful and
spoke the love in which their late
brother was held by them. The de-
ceased was laid at rest in Calvary
cemetery. A number from this city
attended the last sad rites.
