when another law of that state provides
that the miners can prevent any miners
not holding certificates of competency
given by the miners board of examiners,
from going to work. It is evident that the
laws Of Pennsylvania need some revision.
At this stage of the strike, from the
a rather faint line of demarkation sepa-
rates the strikers combine from the

coming nuisances and 1nimical to peace

seem, however. to be a way out of the
oppressive situation by actualizing the
Pennsylvania constitution, which gives
the state power to compel corporations to
conduct their business in such manner as
shall not infringe the equal rights of in
dividuals or the general welfare of the
state" It authorizes the legislature to
take the property and franchises of Of
Tending incorporated companies and sub
ject them to public use, the same as the
property of individuals, and, if it sees fit,
annul the charter of such offending cor
poration. The legislature could also re-
peal the law above mentioned, which
practically gives the miners power to de-
eide who shall work in the mines of the
anthracite region, a regulation which is
inconsistent with the requirement as to
corpora tons. -

Manitoba's Disappointment,

The Manitoba experiment Of govern
ment control Of railway rates with a.
contingent liability for interest on the
railway company's bonds seems to be
working out in a manner most disap-
pointing to it's friends. Under the deal
whereby the government of Manitoba,
after paying the Northern Pacific $780,
900 to build railways that cost $1,000, 600,
bought them for 100000 and then leased
then to the Canadian Northern, the
company agreed to submit to such rates
as the lieutenant governor in council
should impose. The general construction
placed on this clause at the time was
that from time to time the Manitoba gov
eminent would require reduced rates of
the company.
But to the dismay Of. the friends Of this
remarkable experiment. and to the joy IL
athose who had favored government own
ership or the avoidance Of entangling al
nances with railway companies, the Ca
madam Northern, on Sept. 1, put into
effect new tariff schedules on goods dis
tributed from Winnipeg amounting to an
increase of about 20 per cent.
In defending the Canadian Northern
deal Premier Robin said that it afforded
all the advantages Of government owner
ship and avoided all the dangers. The
way 1t is working out it seems to supply
all the evils Of private ownership with

Depriving Children of Opportunities.

After the money-making man gets
along towards so he begins to think of
his money as it may bear on the lives of
his children, after he is gone or is
past the days Of toll. At first he thinks
of his wealth chiefly for the real or fan
cied good it may bring him or as a. means
Of extending his personal power and in
fluence. But when his children are grow
ing up he begins to say to himself that he
will be able to give or leave to each of his
children certain amount, and in sense
start them in life, not where he began,
but where he leaves off. They shall not
know the limitations of poverty, theirs
shall not be the painful struggles, the hui
initiating privations Of his early years.
All their life they shall have, without the
towards the close OF his. His children
shall be spared his sufferings and ben

should not, just the sort Of plans that
were not exemplihed by their own sue

.~"All of you," he said, fare proud of the
fact that you are self-made men. You
talk about the privations and sufferings
and humiliations of your early life, but
you know that in recollection they are
the best part Of your life. You are glad
to-day that you can look back and say
you were poor boys and that alone and

was the very obstacles you confronted
you are talking about depriving your chill
dren of the very opportunities for trouble
that made you. Here you are deliberately
planning to give them gilded, useless,

gift you can give them, which is to de-

too much truth in what had been said.

No Helm for Him.

The Journal is in receipt of an
interesting letter from man who took
the advice so freely proffered to the poor
of the city to get out on the farms, to
get back to the land He left Chicago one
year ago with a few dollars, wife0 and
three small children and settled on eighty
acres of cutover land. He was so poor
that he had only Is cents left to winter his
family on, after erecting a log house After
one years experience he is like the man
who said: when I came to this country
twenty years ago r hadn't a rag on my
back; now it's all rags
His trouble is. of course, lack of capital.
Not having horses or machinery he was
able to cultivate this year only anacre-
and-a-haf of lands and an unusually early
frost ruined most of the crop on that
small patch. In his desperation, after
months Of such 'close figuring that a
loaf Of bread was often riches, he wants
anything to help him. He has read in the
papers that Secretary of Agriculture Will
son has been bonbarded with letters since
his visit to northern Minnesota inquiring
for seeds. and plans Of the secretary for
improving conditions in the cutover pine
Laos Indians, upon their removal to White
Earth, are to receive forty acres Of land
apiece, each family to get a dwelling, a
cook stove, a yoke Of oxen or a pair of
horses, a wagon and an outfit of agricul-
tural implements. From these newspaper
the idea that the government is. directly
assisting needy settlers.
But our struggling settler is deluded.
Secretary Wilson, it is true, is studying
conditions in the cutover regions with a
view to learning what crops and what
methods are adapted to them, just as he
or his department are for all other parts
Of the country. BY applying to his co.,
gresham the settler might get some Of
the $270,000 worth Of seeds the depart
ment of agriculture annually distributes,
but that is the limit Of direct assistance
he can get. The horses and wagons and
household articles and agricultural irnple-
menus are given ny the government to
Indians only, the government considering
that in view Of the changed conditions of
Indian life since the occupation of the
country by whites it is under obligations
to help them become self supporting.
Our poor friend who started with rs
cents Of capital has a pretty hard row to
hoe unless he can get somebody to lend
him little money or can get employ
ment that will enable him to accumulate
some.
