night released the doors holding the
other prisoners in the iron tanks, and
when they came to the door, by their
united efforts. succeeded in lifting it
off at the bottom hinge sufficient to en-
able them to crawl out into the cor
ridor. Here they made their way to
the door leading out of the Jail and
performed the same job, which was
also done on the third door leading
out into the back var of the court
yard. where they scaled the wall and
made their escape.
The men who escaped are Conchin,
who is wanted for robbing Warnekros'
store Of 500 and was brought back

since the election Of 1909, when the Re-

publican party has been rebuked and the
reason is not hard to find. The people
love prosperity. but prosperity Is not

upon the people a high protective meas

increased capacity OF the Individual
miner to extract coal from the immense
veins underground. This Is due to the
use of improved machinery, and the
methods employed as well as the ma.
chir1cry used In France and Belgium are
pretty much the same as In Pennsyl-
vania and in Virginia and are familiar
to us. The most interesting point dis
cussed By the French writer Is tho mat.
ter of wages While he shows that
wages have increased somewhat with
the advances made in labor saving ma.
chinery and that the French miner is
now being little better compensated
than in former years he is still much
worse off than the American worker in
tho mines.
NJ Boneist informs us that shortly be-
fore the Napoleonic wars the wages of
coal miners in France was twenty-five
cents day. During the time that the
Little Corporal. was calling for men
to join his armies there was a scarcity
OF labor for Industrial purposes. and by
1903 the wages OF miners had advanced
to seventy cents a day. Then came a
decline, and by 1890 the rate had gone
down to fifty ccnts-while sixty cents
was considered a princely compensation.
Since then there has been a steady In
crease, and In 1897 wages had reached
the daily rate of s1.21 From this rate
there is a series of deductions, such
as two per cent. for the old-age pension
fund and like rate on account of the
relief fund The average daily wage
nets the miner about eighty-six cents
From the figures it would seem that
the Increase in wages has been far be-
low the Increase in tho producing ca
the operator in France and Belgium
has been getting more than his proper
share OF the blessings of labor saving
machinery. and finally that the miners
in these countries have more OF a
grievance than have their brethren In
the United States. Possibly we find in
this condition the true reason Why
