Views.

Washington, Oct 7.-Secretary Shaw
has decided as further measure of re-
lief for the money market to purchase
bonds. In reply to queries whether the
department would consider propositions
for the sale of bonds the secretary has
officially announced that offers coming
from any source would be considered.
At present the secretary Limits the Of
fer to $5,O00,000, and says that the rate
must be low before any purchases are
made In explanation of the official
statement it was said that In Offering
to purchase bonds the secretary would
be guided largely by the exigencies and
the rate. Should any considerable
amount in excess of $5,000,000 be offered
at q low rate they may be purchased.
Secretary Shaw is opposed to the
purchase of bonds, for the reason that
he desires to extend national bank cir
culntion and increase government de-
posts, and he believes that whatever
bonds may be taken out of the market
by purchases by the department will
further advance the price of bonds. al

their use as security for circula ton and
government deposits. Nevertheless the
secretary Is determined to purchase
bonds IL necessary to relieve the money
market, which he has promised to pro-

The sense Of Eeeli nx.

Some of our most important organs
for instance, the heart the brain and
the lungs-are. strange to say, quite
insensible to touch, thus showing that
not only are nerves necessary for the
sensation, but also the special end or
gans. The curious fact was noticed
with the greatest establishment by
Harvey, who. while treating patient
for an abscess that caused n large
cavity in his side, found that when he
put his fingers into the cavity he could
actually take hold of the heart without
the patient being In the least aware OF
what he was doing. This so interested
Harvey that he brought King Charles
I. to the mans bedside that 'he might
himself behold and touch 50 extraoi

Roosevelt's Mediation.
kansas City star.l


The failure of the mine operators ana
the representatives of the miners I'M
ion to come together on terms OF agree
ment at the white house conference
does not lessen in the least the great
honor and credit due to the president
for his patriotic interposition in the
case. His offer of mediation is without
Ia parallel in the history of the republic.
The impulse of a mere politician, under
the circumstances. would have been
to keep aloof as far as possible from
the controversy. Mr.. Roosevelt is much
more than politician, tho his courage
and sincerity and his disposition at all
times to do what he regards as best for
the country are endearing him more
and more to the people, thus showing
that, after all, the highest order OF
craftsmanship is the very wisest pol
itics.

"A person absolutely without sleep

gone for weeks without sleeping. but It
has been proved that they do sleep

slept on the rack Of the incubation.
And the Chinese found that only the
greatest ingenuity and vigilance could

ment was long In favor in China and is
said to be so today. while as form OF
torture deprivation OF sleep is constd-
cred one Of the most emcacious weap-
ons in the Chinese judicial arsenal.

Tho Stubborn Coal Strike.
rReyiew of Reviews.l

The unfortunate anthracite coal
strike had lasted for some five months
as these pages were closed for the press
late in September,with the almost COM
plete deadlock still unbrOken. The
group OF associated railroads which
had formed monopoly in anthracite
coal mining, and had established an ar
|tiHcial control over output, price. and
market, were squarely met, on the other
hand, by the combination OF men who
had taken advantage Of the Pennsyl-
vania laws relating to the qualifications
| of miners to establish an almost equal
" firm monopoly control over the sup
ply Of labor necessary to operate the
mines The really aggrieved and de-
frauded party in all this situation has
been the public, which has been shame-
fully Inconvenience. The operators,
who had made tight monopoly out OF
mining and selling coal, are immedi-
ataly responsible. It Is not satisfac-
tory, therefore that these operators
should come before the public with ar
guments and complaints about the un-
Ireasonableness of their laborers. Men
who have assumed to acquire control OF
an article essential to common use and
welfare ought to be wise and skillful
enough to keep on good terms with
their workmeH. They are rather alb
surd when they affect an injured air
because coal miners associate them
selves in trade unions for the purpose
of making the best contract they posi-
bly, can in the sale of their labor. Pri-
waite ownership of coal mines is subject
to the public policy and well-being;
1t is not at all an indefeasible right
The right OF workingmen on the other
hand. to stand out for the best terms
possible, and to associate themselves
for the better accomplishment Of their
purposes, is too fundamental to be
questioned The miners have been
perfectly willing from the outset to
submit their claims to any sort Of I'M
partial arbitration. The operators. on
the other hand, have never for mo-
ment dared to arbitrate anything. The
only reasonable answer from the stand
point Of the aggrieved public to the
stubborn operators is simply this: Mer
| who refuse to arbitrate ought to be men
siiilful enough in the conduct of their
business to be able to carry vt on with
out break or interruption, and without
annoying the public with the friction OF
/ their internal problems.
