turning to oil as we'll as to gas. The
New York Tribune Of the 9Th states
that ''the increase in the cost of soft
coal is driving many thousands of peo-
pie to the use of Oil as fuel in the pres
ent emergency, and many thousands to
the use of gas. The demand for oil and
gas ranges and heaters is SO great that
the supply companies can not meet it.
AS fast as the appliances can be sup
piled people are making themselves in
dependent of the use of both hard and
soft coal"
1t may be expected that oil burners
will reach better state of perfection
as the result of the study now given
the heating problem.
1t is probable, too, that the anthra-
cite coal owners and operators of Penn
sylvania may think they are reaping
the whirlwind when they find a large
part of their market captured by other
devices for supplying heat.

A Novel Industry in the West.

termelons very successful In the upper

cred with the luscious green shapes.
destined never to tickle a palate. The
melons grow to large size and great
perfection. When they are fully ripe
they are harvested with as much pre-
cision as are the wheat and corn crops
of the plains. The threshing machine
with which the melons are handled is
simple. 1t consists chiefly of a cylinder
driven by horse power or by traction
engine. Great wagon loads of melons
are brought to the side Of the machine,
and one by one they are thrown with
great force into the hungry mouth to
break against the whirling teeth below.
The whole is ground to a fine pulp and
run out thru sieve, the rinds being
thus separated from the inner portion
Of the melon. The rinds are left to rot
on the prairie, and the juicy mixture
stands IN large watts until the process
of fermentation takes place, separating
the seeds from the pulp. The seeds are
then spread out on boards to dry and
are ready for the market.

MAKING AGREEMENTS BINDING

That the increasing power and In
companied by growing appreciation
Of the responsibility which the posses
sion Of such power entails seems log
zeal and natural development. The
enormous strides which have been
taken by union labor recently make 1T
appear probable that it's leaders will
recognize soon the expediency OF ac-
cepting full responsibility as necessary
consequence of labors honorable status
in the industrial world.
Carroll D. Wright, United States
commissioner Of labor. in accounting
for the peremptory refusal of the an
thracite mine operators to come to a
settlement with their striking miners
ascribes their action to an alleged be-
lief that such settlement would lack
binding force. The operators. he says,
argue that just as there were strikes in
1900 and 1902, when political pressure
could be expected to force settle
ment, there would be strike again in
1904, when presidential election might
lead to political Intervention. This
plea, Of course, does not In any way
Justify the operators in their present
refusal to listen to the grievances urged
by President Mitchell and the United
Mine Workers in good faith and on the
grounds of common humanity. How
ever. the lack OF a means of binding
the men to- their bargains gives the
operators an excuse for evading set
Element. The incorporation of union
must have the effect OF making its
agreements binding. But such incor-
poration would also give 1t a stronger
position and an additional argument
with which to confute the employer
who presumed to deny it's right to de-
mand the making of an equitable BAR
gain.
The action Of the Wholesale Grocers'
Employees Union of this city In decid-
Ing to become incorporated is Of timely
interest as pointing to advantages
which labor may expect to gain in this
way Evidently the members OF that
union feel that 1t is worth while to be-
come incorporated, since by SO doing
they can effect satisfactory agree
ment, which shall be binding on both
sides There are numerous strong and
honorable labor unions which now live
up to their agreements carefully and
faithfully Such unions have every
thing to gain and nothing to lose by
taking the one additional step of be-
coming incorporated and therefore re-
sponsible in law as we'll as ip fact.

IOWA REJECTS SUGAR BETS.
LII. S. Trigg.

III. S. Trigg.l
We thought a few years ago that the
cultivation of the sugar beet might be
made a valuable feature of agriculture
in the corn belt of the country. We have
since changed our opinion. The tinan-
cial returns to the grower are altogeth-
er unsatisfactory. The crop needs
prompt care and attention when the
farmer can least spare the time. The
needed help is hard to obtain. and the
labor connected With the crop is of the
get-down- on-a ll-fours back breaking
type, which the corn raiser despises.
The sugar beet will find friends in all
the sunny, irrigated portion of the west
and, to some extent, in the more thickly
settled portions of the east, where child
help is cheap and easily OBJ
tanned, but not where sixty
bushels of corn to the acre can be
grown or where clover grows knee high
and blue grass thrives, where creamer-
les prosper and the Poland-Ch hog
and Shorthorn steer grunt and snort
whenevec the beet subject is mentioned.

A Shot at the Coal Barons.

Editor I1meS-RepuDllcan: one OF
the declared objects of the government
| of the United States as set forth in the
preamble to the constitution is ito pro-
mote the general welfare" then the
| federal government has the same duty
to perform in promoting the general
welfare as it has Ito insure domestic
| tranquility or to provide for the COM
mon defense as set forth in the same
preamble.
And whenever domestic tranquility
has been greatly menaced or invasion
has been threatened the government
has never been negligent in using the
military power to enforce authority
But now the general welfare OF the
country is suffering financially and in
every way by the stubborn action of a
few coal barons who persist in keeping
their mines closed tho it involves the
whole country in ruin and suffering.
This is said to be the land OF the
Free" hut what is it to be free? Does
| it imply and carry with it the full right
and power to do what one pleases with
his own?
Does it mean that the owners OF
Hand have a right to cease growing
crops until the country is involved in
famine and ruin?
Does it imply that syndicates have a
right to acquire and hold all of the
great coal fields of a country and then
refuse to operate the mines only as they
see fit?
ITO promote the general welfare
the government is as much empowered
to see that the mines are operated as 1t
would be to quell an insurrection or re-
pei an invasion.

SHALLOW Party TACTICS.

Sincerity Is essential in political ac-
tion. It Is the vitalizing force in this
sphere Of activity az 1t is in the reli-
gious world. This is primary and fun
i damental and is so well understood
! that mere statement OF it fs all that is
necessary. Reason for this is found in
\ the fact that political action affects
practical life in a republic as religious
action does in the spiritual. A political
4 party that is not sincere in its move
ments is as dangerous to the common
welfare as devil is in religious garb.
II the prohibition party plans a farce
and palms 1t of as reality it is repre-
i hensible as deceiving or attempting to
deceive the people, just as a demagogue
% In uttering false doctrines by design.
& It can not succeed by such tactics.
When they are uncovered the people
will revolt against them. Sometimes
I they are so farcical, as in the alleged
Marshall county debate. as to be trans
parent to the shrewd observer. Such
tactics betray weakness In leadership
and unsoundness in methods. and injure
the cause they were designed to pro-
mote.
Proof Of this might be found in some
& OF the modern methods of the demo-
cratic party, one half of which espouses
I doctrines which the other half rejects.
Such a weight carries and will carry
any organization to the foot of the coll
umn when the returns OF election are
{ counted. II the prohibition party en-
dorses and practices means to deceive
voters Its shallowness is thus disclosed.
It has many honest and earnest advo-
B Gates, and they can not sincerely APP
prove of such methods.

Id!eness Net Badge of GentiIity.
rNfinneap Tribune

one of the things that surprised the
Russian grand duke who recently Wis
ited the United States was that million
aires and sons of millinoaires worked
like all the rest. This is probably true
in any country, of the millionaires who
have made their own millions. The
habit Of work acquired in youth is not
abandoned. But America undoubtedly
differs much from Europe in the fact
that idleness is not here regarded as
the sign and badge of gentility. We
have a few idle sons of rich men, but
they are not respected as are thei,
hard working sires.

END OF COAL STRIKE PROBABLE,

Gov. Stone, of Pennsylvania, has
finally been moved to vigorous action
In calling out the entire state militia
to preserve order in the coal strike
region. Not only this but he will see
that murders, rioting and interference
with workmen cease. Hitherto the
force has been inadequate and their
orders not sufficiently definite to in
sure order. Gov. Stones spirited ac-
ton will have its effect. If he can not
preserve order. the next step will be
assistance from the national govern
ment. 1t foreshadows the end OF
forcible interference and full resump-
ton of mining, thus rendering nugatory
the further movements OF the strikers.
It is painful fact that while the
strikers have enlisted the sympathy Of
the people, they have permitted a state
OF lawlessness and anarchy to reign,
the results OF which are summed up
In a brief article elsewhere in this issue
quoted from the New York Sun. It
cnstitutes blot on our civilization
can not be efraced. It Injuries the
\use it aims to promote.
IN now probable that President
iii will hasten to accept Presi-
Ent Roosevelt's latest offer of medi-
alton or that the miners will vote not
/ 60 continue the strike or that the
strike will die of inanition. It has been
thriving in forcible interference; it
will die when mine operators are per-
United to operate their mines without
molestation.
This does not touch the merits of
the strike or the dement's Of the oper-
ators in declining to make concessions.
It merely covers the probable results Of
the contention.
