The strike in the anthracite coal
mines of Pennsylvania is becoming
more serious as time progresses. The
strike is affecting tho public at
large. Much hard coal is used by en-
gines in the east and all over the coun-
try are private families who have used
it for heating purposes for many years.
August is the month the winter supply
is usually put in. Now it is almost
impossible to obtain it and what little
10 secured is from one to two dollars
per ton higher than common. Thus
the public is inconvenienced and made
to suffer because there has arisen Q
difference between the capitalists who
own the mines and the workmen who
dig the coal. If only those immedi.
ately concerned in the quarrel were
made to suffer that would be bad
enough, but when the innocent public,
the patron Of the coal business, is also
disconnected and bled, then the pub
lie should awaken and demand COM
pulsory arbitration, or some plan to
prevent such affairs. As to which side
il to blame the public at this distau &c
doesn't know, but we feel no sympathy
with the trust that operates the mines,
- they say there is nothing to arbi.
trate. The customers are inblined to
think there is something to arbitrate OF
else the mines would run. The Gus.
toner has some rights in the matter.

Ninth District Harmony

From Council Bluffs Nonpariel.
Ninth district republicans returned
from the state convention at Des
Moines more closely united than they
have been in some years.
OF course there were some differ
ences among the Ninth district repub-
licans over the selection Of represen-
tative on the state central committee
when they first came together in Des
Moines. There were numerous candi.
dates in opposition to Senator James
Bruce who sought reelection and there
seemed some prospect for time of q
bitter fight in the caucus, but the wis
dom Of the advocates Of harmony pre-
vailed and before the caucus met all
troubles were adjusted. Asmus Boysen
Of Audubon county was agreed upon as
the man most satisfactory to all ele-
ments of the party and he was elected
unanimously upon the motion Of h. W.
Byers of Shelby county, one OF Mr..
Bruce's most active partisans.
The election of Mr.. Boysen vas q
very satisfactory solution of the prob
lem that confronted the district. He
!. man of much personal popularity
and wide experience in politics. BE
has the confidence Of those who know
him and he will foster and encourage
the good feeling that prevades republi-

cauism everywhere in Iowa. He wa
elected by the unanimous vote OF tht
entire district and he will endeavor tc
fill his Office upon Just as broad basis,
dealing fairly and Justly with all.
Pottawattamie county had . large
share in bringing about the satisfac-
tory results Of the caucus. Its own
county caucuses were thoroughly har-
monious and its influence for an ami.
cable adjustment of the committee
fight was prs-eminent. It cheerfully
did what it asked other counties to do
and gave up its ambition to name one
of its own sons for the sake of securing
a committeeman who might be chosen
by the unanimous vote OF the district
caucus. Pottawsttamie county held q
pivotal position and its course in dis
trict affairs was wisely determined.
Harrison county made like sacrifice.
1t felt that it had right to insist upon
the selection Of J. 8. Dewell who was
defeated two years ago after having
served only one term, but for the sake
of harmony he put aside his personal
ambitions.
There is nothing in the Ninth dis
trict situation now to prevent the great
est republican victory this fall in its
entire history. The republicans Of the
southwestern corner Of the state are
trying to pull together and they will
give Congressman Smith and the state
ticket unprecedented majorities.

Gov. Cummlns on Railroads.

Gov. Cummin's attitude toward the
railroads is exciting much interest oveI
the state. He and the executive coun-
Gil which is in sympathy with him, over
hauled the assessment question, giving
it pretty thorough airing and adding
to the popular education on the subject
il they did not accomplish much else.
While they raised the assessed valua.
ton of the railroads four million dol.
lars in round numbers, the increase
was no more than the increase repre-
sented in improvements and in the
general rise in values, il a. much. The
increase was not in proportion to the
increase in the net earnings Of the
roads.
Railroad assessment IL 0 difficult
problem Of the state. The equalization
Of assessments in townships, towns,
cities and counties 10 always surrounded
by difficulties. They are purely bust
ness and economic measures. The
profile m is TO equitsbly distribute the
burden Of taxes. After all the discus
sion it looks good deal like the rail-
roads were paying about their share Of
the public burden. Iowa can't afford
to be unfriendly to corporate interests.
However, they should DO required to
pay their share of taxes.
The yexing problem has been how to
arrive at the value Of railroads wheth-
er by their cost, the prices Of their
stocks on the market, or what their
earnings indicate - to the capital. Il
is evidently hard to use any OF these
three plans alone. The executive
council does OF make pu bile it's meth
cd OF assessing. Gov. Cummins argued
at different times that Q railroad was
worth what it would sell for, or what
its stocks were worth.
The governor is now announcing
that he will investigate the reorgan =
ization of the Rock Island. The pub :
lie will await his procedure with
interest.

Judge Macy declines to follow the
suggestion of the recent republican
judicial convention to resign and allow
himself to be reelected in order to get
the increase Of salary which the other
judges whose terms expire with this
year, will get. Nearly all the terms
Of the district judges expire this year
but his term is one Of the few in the
state that run over another year. The
new law increasing the pay of judges
does not apply to present terms but
only to those terms that will commence
hereafter. Judge Macy evidently re-
garded the plan to have him resign and
be reelected, however we'll conceived
in friendship toward him, to be wrong
from the standpoint of the lawyer, as il
was q plan to evade the wording and
apparent intent Of the law. Judge
Macy is q man Of high honor and will
be guided by what he thinks is right.
And his Judgment as to what In right
is as good as the best.

Congressman Smith who recently
visited in Alsbama, was profoundly
impressed with the genius, the great
ness and the achievements of Booker
T. Washington. He says that this
negro, measured by the advancement
he has made from dense ignorance and
slavery to his present condition, and
measured by his achievements, is one Of
the greatest personages in America to-
day. Judge Smith ought to prepare .
lecture on Booker Washington. He
would put lot Of philosophy, anecdote,
wit, pathos and wisdom and some elo-
quence into it.

desires to be honest in its stat ements

week it said Of Sheriff Anderson "he
now has q guaranteed salary of $500

for his and his deputy's salary and the
