While there is no need of panic
over the existence of numerous cases
of smallpox in the city of Hallowell.
there are. urgent reasons why every
preoaGtdsa- skesild be taken to prevent
further spsead of the disease. Both in
lallowell and in the neighboring cities
and towns the prompt measures taken
by the health authorities are to be
commended and the public should
promptly and cheerfully cooperate
with them. Fortunately the disease
seems to be of mild type. but small
pox in any form is very serious mat
ter and no efforts should be spared TO
check the epidemic. Vaccination is
earnestly urged upon all not already
protected in this way.

The Coal Strike.

1t is not wise to underestimate tne

strike now under way. 1t may be very
disastrous in its effect upon industry
before II is adjusted and the scores OF
thousands of laboring men now idle re-
turn to work Though the general pub
lie knows very little about the cause of
the strike the matter is really sim
ME one. Those commonly known as
miners. the strikers in this instance,
are also employers. They employ other
men to do the rough work for them, to
whom they pay a portion of the wages
they receive from the railroads. having
left for themselves something between
81 and S. a day. after they have paid for
th,ir tools and powder. In the eyes OF
the undetermined, the sub-employec, his
employers wage is 50 great that he
thinks he should have a greater share.

profits ipereasipg. j. OF this suDter-
rancan dispute the public has heard
little. There mas been no appeal to the
civic federation, no request for arbitra-
ton. The miners have refused to share
their stipend. but have attempted to
satisfy the demand made upon them
through a demand upon their own en-
rloycrs; and upon this the fight is
Joined. The railroad presidents. con
eidering first the interests Of the prop

terms, and their right to do so is right

serious effect upon all industry. The
miners union which forces the strike
is sure to have much public sympathy,
sympathy to the striker on general
principles without knowing or caring
much about the real merits Of the case.
But while the public condemns the
beef trust" whose existence is denied
and which on it's face is theoretical, it
is rather inconsistent for it to sym
pathize with the miners union which is
an avowed monopoly attempting tn
profit from forced increase in prices,
rather than band of oppressed and
poorly paid worl,iugmen seeking justice
and fair play. There would be no law
or justice if ell disagreements were set
