at the arbitrary prices fixed by the
corporations, or else abandon the
benefit of all the special skill they b,vs
acquired in mining hard coal, and 70
away with their families to other patts
of the state or country. But some
men at the risk of law and bayonet,
and sharpshooters will sooner steal
food than starve to death. And as
men of brightest intellect, when thev
become hard drinkers, are led on sten
by step from the commission of one
crime to that of another, so we find
that a disagreement as to wages for
mining coal leads to strikes, and strikes
of any considerable duration are alwa,;
followed by want and destl,utlon, BY
mobs and murder.
In the language of the supreme
court OF Colorado Gag Col, so7l:
"While it is difficult to define the
boundaries of the police power, it ad.
mittedly extends to the protection of
the lives, health and property of the
citizens and the preservation of good
order and the public morals. We may
properly take cognizance of the fact
that the most serious disturbances
which have occurred IN this country
for the last twenty-five years have
grown out of controversies between
employer and employe No one
doubts the authority or questions the
duty of the state TO interfere with
such force as may be necessary to re.
press such disturbances and maintain
the public peace and tranquility; and
as nell may the state provide IN ad.
vance against certain kinds of fraud
and oppression which leads to these
outbreaks"
The mine operator has no moral
tight to extort from the mine worket
his labor at less than a reasonable
price. The mine operator in the
''coal combine" of the anthracite
region is strong, very strong, but "the
strongest is never strong enough to
be always master, unless h.. traus-
forms his strength into right and
obedience to duty"

A Mild Winter Predicted

Here's the prediction that will fall
on the ears of the man whose coal
bin is still empty like the choicest
music. Prof c. E. Meyers, of the
government weather department, says
the summer season will be prolonged
until late in the fall. He also pre-.
diets a mild winter. His theory is
that the volume OF water which has
fallen during May, June and July
cannot be evaporated from the earth
during the summer and that the water
IN the earth will hold The summer
heat far into the winter.

BASE BALL.

The Forrest City team went to Cot
ton Plant last Tuesday for two games,
but only managed to play one, the rain
preventing the second game
The local team has been strengthened
since their last appearance on the home
ground. Harye Lytton has at asst con.
sented to don uniform, and will be
found hereafter cavorting around the
initial sack; and Jimmy Murty has
been shifted to center field. This will
strengthen the team in al the depart
ments of tie game, and it will not be
necessary to work the pitchers in the
out field.
The boys played their hest game of
the season Tuesday, all fielding and
hitting in nice shape. The great SUIT,
ton proved an easy mark for the local
htterS, and after the first inning the
game was never in doubt
Sawrie, who pitched for the locals,
showed up in nice style, keeping the
few hits made off him well scattered,
and never losing his head in close
places.
The locals started the run, getting in
the first, Gillian walked-Paslay
hunted safe, IL. Sanders secured
hrst Oh an error. Gillian
and PaslaY scored on Ashford's
hit, and Sanders scored few moments
later on a fly to the out field. The To-
Gals scored two more in the fifth. Pas
lay hit for two bases and scored on
Ashfold's bit, and Ashford scored on
Loraine's long fly to center field.
One run was added in the seventh
on Ashford's three base hit and pass
bali by the pitcher. The last run was
made in the eighth inning by Simmons,
who made daring steal to the plate
when the first baseman was slow in
handling a thrown hall,
Cotton Plants first run was made in
the third on Jordan's hit, Sutton's out
and a hit by McNally. The last two

REFORMING THE LIQUOR LAWS.
New Law Would Do Away Entirely With
Saloon Screens.

New Law Would Do Away Entirely With
Saloon Screens.
To better regulate and restrict the
sale of liquors, Mr.. Brooke INTRODUCED
a sweeping bill in the House at An
napolis, Thursday night. 1t requires
that every applicant for liquor Ii
cense shall, in his application, spec
tally describe the room in which it is
proposed to sell such liquors and it's
exact location, no partition of any
kind being permitted. Any room
where liquors are sold shall be situa-
ted upon the ground floor or base
ment, and shall be a room fronting
the public thoroughfare on which the
building is situated, and the room
shall be SO arranged with windows or
glass doors that the whole of the room
may be in view from the thorough
fare. No blinds, screens or obstruc-
tions to the view shall be erected that
would prevent the entire view of the
room from the street, and light shall
be kept burning 80 as to give full view
within the room after dark on days
and hours when the sale of liquor is
prohibited by law. All persons ex-
cept the proprietor and family shall
be excluded from the saloon during
such times when the sale of LIQUORS is
prohibited by law. The fact that
any person is permitted to be in such
room shall be prima facie evidence of
guilt upon trial of cause charging
the proprietor with violating the law.
The provision of the law shall not
apply to the keepers Of proprietors of
hotels. The penalties shall be from
$40 to 500; second offense, $25 to 5000,
to which may be added imprisonment
not exceeding 80 days, and upon a
third conviction, as part of the
judgment, the court shall annual the
license. No license for a saloon shall
be issued for any room within 300
feet of any church or school build
ing, nor shall a license be issued when
majority of the voters of any cleo
ton district or of any election pre-
cinct in Baltimore shall petition
against it.

yironment. 1t is this spirit of initia-
tive which makes American soldiers
and sailors the effective fighters that
they are. They are not mere military
machines. They think for themselves.
This characteristic brought from an
astute British army officer who ac-
companied the American forces to
Cuba the significant comment, Every
man is a general
1t is the same in industrial fields.
American workman use their brains.
They are not afraid to be original.
Their object is not merely to put in
as many hours day as they are re-
quired to work and to do as little as
possible in that time; but they are
continually looking for new and more
effective methods and striving to in
crease the output and reduce the ex-
pense of production.
This characteristic initiative comes
from education chiefly, and is foster
ed by democratic institutions. Cob
den pointed out the universally of
education in the United States seven
decades ago as the great force that
would put America in the front rank
The devotion to education that mark
ed the earliest colonists has been con-
tinued by their decendents to the
present time.
A portion of that education-and
no small portion, either-is derived
from the newspapers. Newspaper
reading was a marked characteristic
of Americans at the time of Cobden's
visit, and he mentioned it approving
ly, People who read newspapers are
people who think, and people of in
dependent thought are people who do
things and who win victories in the
battle of life.
