more than the title will find a. well-tod
tale of life within the Welsh border In the
first half of the nineteenth century.
1t is a story of a midnight riot and its
consequences, and, though one feels when
he is through that he has been too long in
the darkness under cover Of which sheep
thieves operate and too long in the COM
pany of villainous men, he Is convinced
that he has been given g., true picture OF
an unexpected level Of life, and is
ready to. admit that he holds new
idea of the are of p-stealing and a
very fine picture of a villain as a past
master at the art. II the various

Biz Job for a Big Man.

The reluctance of the anthracite coal
operators to recognize the miners union
places a great responsibility upon Presi-
dent Roosevelt. That reluctance will be
understood and sympathized with by many
people, but the fact remains that whether
right or wrong, it puts a heavy burden
on the president.
The mine operators have already made
the president the guardian Of their in
'terests They have promised him to sub
init to thesarbitra ton of commission ap-
pointed by him. BY addressing the
miners union through him they place upon
him the task Of getting the union to agree
to arbitration on the proposed terms and,
also the responsibility Of the unions
living up to the terms Of the arbitration.
Since the operators refuse to recognize
any organization as representing their
employees, it will be impossible to make a
Joint agreement contract between them
and their men. The contract Will have to
{ be an indirect one, through the promise
each of the parties will have to make to
the president. This will, result In making
the president sort OF perpetual peace
maker between the!-two organtza tons
Every time the miners have supposed
case of bad faith on the part of the oper-
-ators they will be tempted to say to the
president that he, as sponsor Tor the
operators, ought to make them play fair.
on the other hand the operators look t.

miners live UP to the rules Of the arbi

Amount of Advertising
carried by the Twin City
Papers for September:
An Efectual Reply.

Attorney General Douglas has neatly
parried the thrust the democrats have
sought to make at Governor Van SAINT
because suit has not been begun against
the consolidation of the iron range rail-
ways The point the democrats tried
TO make was that the administration had
picked out the Northern Securities con-
solidation for a theatrical crusade, where
as the iron range consolidation ante
dating the other, had been left alone.
In his speech at Hawley, Mr.. Douglas
presented an absolutely impregnable line
of facts for the democratic attack to be
shattered upon. Early in 1901 Mr.. Doug
las began an Investigation Of the consol1-,
dation of the iron range roads, and has
ever since been searching for loopnole
by which they can be attacked. Moreover,
Governor Van SAINT urged Mr.. Douglas to
proceed against the iron range comblna-
ton. so that the governor is not open to
a charge Of discrimination. Mr.. Douglas
bravely takes the responsibility for de-
lay upon himself, but he proves that the
responsibility Is a light one, since the
delay has been of the kind that Davy
Crockett advised: First be sure you're
right, then go ahead.
1t is worthy of notice that Mr.. Douglas
researches have seemed to prove that the
iron range merger is one that, Tor legal
invulnerablity is as superior to the
Northern Securities as the latter Is to
business partnership. 1t has wheels anc
wheels within wheels. One of the roads
the Duluth Missabe & Northern, is owned
by the Consolidated Mining company, {
New Jersey corporation, the stock O
which. in turn, is controlled by the Fed
eral Steel company, and that, In turn, b!
the United States Steel corporation, 9th
erwise the steel trust. The Duluth &
+ Iron Range road is a Minnesota corpora
. ton. whose stock IS controlled by tn
l. Federal Steel company, and of course, II
: turn by the steel trust. If Mr.. Dougla
: tries to take a shot at the octopus
Minnesota it gets behind it's New Jer
sew charters The New Jersey authorize
won't let him hunt there, The Unite
States circuit court has no trace OF Jurls
diction in such a case and the suprem
court won't take it.
Here we have again a splendid illus
tration Of the obsolescence Of. our pres
ent legal system in dealing with cond
lions that have grown up since the forme
Z. was established. Here are corporation
that have hundreds of millions worth
property in Minnesota, that can sit bac
and laugh while the state of M1nnesot
hunts in vain for some way of compellir
them to obey it's laws.

A Beautiful Function.

O, that was a glorious function at Oma-
ha yesterday when the University OF
South Dakota met the Omaha medical
college team at pigskin pingpong!. From
start to f1nish," says the delighted: chron-
icler, 1.-The game was a smuggling match,
and the visitors, who have a record of
having Killed two players and wounding
several others this season, got the worst
of the slugging.r For the South Dakota
team, Novotny was knocked senseless and
left the game; Olson was knocked down
and badly trampled for .stransling; Cap
tain Newcornb received broken shoulder
blade; Thompson has a broken rib and
other injuries and the tlbla OF Hanson
right leg was cracked. For the Omaha
medics, -,Eby was hit in the stomach and
left the game, while Jpngbluth,, who
knocked Novotny senseless, was chased
| from the field and did not return. Umpire
Whittemore was knocked down by blow
on the jaw for calling Mustine a liar. The
spectators went Wild with delight.
| And no wonder! Every man who TOOK
part was beautifully battered: blood, -"

beautiful sight. than these gallant young
| representatives of the Higher. Culture
and of the Healing Art striving manfully
to take one anothers young lives: On
! the part Of the medical college this was,
of course more in line with, the life work

must not think that because of lack OF

The spectacle Of 500 people scrambling
and jostling to get into a coal office to
buy $50 tons Of coal is pathetic. 1t has an
ominous suggestion for the winter coming
if the strike is not settled. In some cities
a coal famine will undoubtedly cause very
serious disturbance of the public peace.
When people begin to shiver for want of
coal, they will not care much about their
previous theories about government own
ership. They will get the coal some way.

For the sake Of the great game of foot
ball, it is to be hoped. that such exhibit
lions as that at Omaha yesterday and that
at Grand Forks Monday, will not be re-
peated. The Omaha game between the
University of South Dakota and the
Omaha Medical college was a disgrac eful
and CORY fist fight from start to finish:
The Grand Forks game between North
Dakota university and Hamline, while not
so. bloody was equally ungentlemanly' on

is rough game, but it is not necessarily
game for smuggling and unfairness.

Qualifications of a Principal.

Tt is well that some local school board
IS not charged with the appointment of
the state inspector of graded schools. If
it we're, the chances are that Mr.. Albert
w. Rankin, who now holds that office,
would soon be ready to accept another
position. His frankness in his annual re-
port would not tend to improve him as
teacher in the eyes Of the local school
authorities he 50 justly reproves
From his report we learn that some Of
the points that go to make up per-
feet whole in a school teacher, especially

unmade, appointed and discharged, on
such data as these. Mr. Rankin discreetly
refrains from particular applications, but
