when the anthracite coal operators
spurned the earnest appeal Of President
Roosevelt to submit the differences be
tween the mine operators and h min
workers TO arbitration on any terms, il
became manifest to the American peO-
pie that the coal magnates were prose
cutting a campaign of subjugation' and
determination.
The conflict between the mine mag
mates and the mine workers has as
sumed international proportions and Is
naturally viewed with serious apprehen-
sion by the American people. Thought
full men of all classes begin to realize
that the issue raised by the controversy
between the mine owners and the mine
workers involves the very foundation of
our industrial fabric and that the strike
In Pennsylvania Is simply the skirmish
Of the ~irrepressible struggle that will
have to be fought out by evolution or
revolution.
In refusing to arbitrate and to deal
with the coal miners union the coal

pro-slavery platform, and like the south
ern slave holders, who insisted that the
regular army should be called out
whenever necessary to enforce the fugi-
tive slave law and protect them in the
possession of human chattels, the coal
barons insist that the whole machinery
of government shall be exerted to per-
petuate the old system of master and
s~ervant-the master to order and the
servan to obey. While they do not
contend that the mine workers are mere
chattels to be bought and sold, they
deny their right to associate themselves
for mutual betterment and protection,
ignoring modern industrial conditions
that have made it necessary for the men
behind the machine to counteract the
pressure Of the taskmasters who oper-
ate the machine.
While political economists are trying
to educate the people to the idea that
capital and labor are married together
for better or for worse on terms of mu-
tual equality, the mine magnates want
to turn the twentieth century clock back
and force the resumption of the old rela-
tions that gave the master supreme
control of his servants, to labor upon
such terms as he chose to prescribe-the
servant to be entirely at the masters
mercy.
The evolution of colossal Industrial
concerns and the ~monopolization of
commerce by rail and waterway in the
hands of the Morgans, Rockefellers,
Nanderbilts and Goulds has forced
American wage workers to combine for
mutual protection and these organiza-
tions constitute the bulwark OF our
organized capital.
The subjugation Of the American
wOrkingmen, white or black, native or
foreign, would sound the deathknell of
American freedom, carrying In its train
the political serfdom of the masses. The
determination Of the workingmen's
unions would be followed by the deg
radiation of the workers and the en-.
thronement in power and place of an
untitled nobility, the so-called captains
Of industry, whose highest aim is the
absorption OF all wealth and power.
These conditions are recognized by the
president as calling for wise statesman.
ship and courageous action, always
bearing in view the welfare of the
masses. Changed conditions necessarily
must be met by a change of laws and
policies.

THE NATIONS PRAYER.
Chicago News.


God of our fathers, Lord of All,
Who sits OIL justice for a throne,
Both right and might are Thine alone,
Beseechingly on Thee we call.
Forbid that greed should vanquish right,
That naughty power and selfish lust
Should strange justice. Thou art JUST
Let justice triumph by Thy might.
Save us from foolish men and blind,
Who sell their souls to save a cause
And trample under foot the laws
Thou hast decreed for all
Have mercy on the few who hold
The millions welfare in their hand,
Who fail to see or understand
That justice pays a th~ousandfold.
And pity, Lord, as PHYS Thine,
The arrogance that mounts a throne
And robbing Thee Of what's Thine own
Proclaims II rules by right divine,
Let caste and class be checked again.
And ranks and orders, let them pass,
n let us, looking at the mass,
Find beings God has made for men.
And give us patience to command,
The faith to hope that right at last
Will triumph; till the storm is past
Let reason lead us by the hand.
The burden Of our brothers wrong
BY fellow feeling let us learn,
Help us to suffer and be strong.

ALWAYS THE GRAND OLD ARMY.
Memories Awakened by the Encamp.
ment At Washington.

We II ANdAtheu ny me mp
ment at Washington.
Detroit Free Press.
More than a third of a century ago the
grizzled and tattered survivors OF the great
est national tragedy in history paraded the
streets OF Washington. Ten years ago rep
resentatives of the strongest civic organi-
cation ever perfected by war veterans, those
who were left of the former magnificent
armies went over the old line of march.
For the third time the capitol of the nation
which they preserved is receiving them; the
men who fought the mightiest battles OF
modern time. They were not an army
trained to the mechanical arts of war, but
rallied as patriots from the paths of indus
try and peace. They were the worthy sons
Of revolutionary fathers joining with the
equally worthy sons Of an adopted coun-
try.
There is no new lesson to be gathered
from this assembIage of the thinned ranks
whose blood warns to the temperature OF
youth as they clasp hands and fight their
battles DER again. 1t Is no truer now than
at the close Of the civil war that its veter-
ans exemplihed the spirit which should in
spire American citizenship whenever the
constitutional or territorial integrity Of the
government is assalled. Time adds to the
appreciation of their sacrifices and conse-
quent achievements and the highest praise
Will come from the future generations that
reap in full the consequent harvest Of bless
ings. There is sadness that their number
grows less, that their step is not so quick
or steady, and that the gray of age contrasts
with the blue of the service, but they are
the remnant OF the grand old army to whose
glory no decoration. no more praise Of words
can add luster or durability.

Turning from the cities.
Boston Globe,

Among the tendencies Of the times none
is more gratifying than those that are grad
ually making rural life less Objectionable
TO the best elements Of our society. The
tide of rural exodus to the city shows some
signs Of turning. Those who have been
leaving the old farms have more and more
dispositions to turn back. The rush Of rural
communities cityward is being stayed and
the country districts show more and more
marked signs OF being rescued from deser-
ton. Certainly no more hopeful indication
were possible. City life stands, on the
whole. for mental. moral and physical de-
terioration,
