Both factions of the Republican party
are claiming control OF the coming
state convention, which will name can
didates for several high Offices. As the
so-caled insurgents have been swal-
lowed by one or the other faction, and
the fight is nothing more than scram-
BILE for spoils between two Republican
machines, it should make no difference
to the honest citizen which side wins.
Botn are corrupt and inscriptions and
"a disgrace to the state aud to the Re

Peril of the Miners Union.

VI kttS Ntt'Sa et'tSph
From Yesterdays Phila. North American.
The building of stockade Notifications
around mine properties, the enlistment
of fighting men and the hiring of mer-
cenaries are not necessarily evidences
that the anthracite mine operators have
reason to fear attacks upon the collier
les by strikers. That they desire to
create such an impression there is no
doubt, and when they are fully prepared
for trouble it will not be their fault if
trouble does not come. 1t is easy to
hire men to instigate disorder, and
there is always the possibility of foolish
outbreaks by the more ignorant and eX-
citable strikers, especially ii the leaders
cannot keep them away from saloons.
The operators have declared their
purpose to destroy the miners union.
They have unlimited funds with
which to buy brains and brute force,
and they are not hampered by scruples
about using their resources.
At Wilkesbarre two carloads of re-
peating shotguns and buckshot cart
ridges have been distributed to the mer-
cenares of the coal barons. 1t is ex-
planned that buckshot cartridges have
cause the intention is to "maim rather
than kill" Most humane and consider
ate indeed are these gentle opponents of
organized labor. A riot gun loaded
with buckshot is one of the deadliest
weapons known. 1t is preferred to a
Mauser by peace officers and express
messengers in the Southwest who have
to deal with desperate outlaws.
But the Notifications and the shotguns
will be of no avail to break up the union
If the miners keep their wits about them
and refuse to be inveigled into violence.
Public opinion is more potent than
buckshot in such a contest as they are
engaged in. Public sympathy is their
sword and buckler; if they throw it
away they will stand naked and unarm-
ed before the riot guns of the Coal
Trust
Let the miners take warning from the
military preparations made by the de-
clared enemies of organized labor, and
under no provocation permit themselves
to be lured into physical combat. Any
outbreak of violence, no matter how it
begins or who starts it, will be cunning
ly made to count against them. If any
among them counsels violence or seeks
to nhame their passions, let them
regard and treat him as a hired ennis
sary of the enemy. If he be merely a
fool or a man crazed with alcohol, they
must restrain him and see that he does
no harm.
John Mitchell and his colleagues are
keenly aware of the danger here pointed
out, and they will give to the men the
same advice that the North American
gives. Let the miners be loyal in
thought and deed to their leaders and
constitute themselves the vigilant
guardians Of the public peace, and the
railroads cannot whip them.

Why Ice Floats.

Did you ever wonder why it is
that ice, being formed of CONCEAL
ed water, floats, and why on some
stall lakes it begins to form at the
bottom before it does on the sur
face? Scientists explain these enig-
mas this wise: Ice is specifically
lighter than water just about to
freeze and therefore floats in it.
This is one reason why the forma-
ton of ice usually begins at the sur
face.
Another is its peculiar law of ex-
pansion. The general law is that
cold induces expansion. This law
holds good with water only to a GER
tain point. When water has cooled
down to within IA degrees of freez-
ing, it ceases to contract as before
with increase of cold and begins to
expand till it freezes.
This expansion causes the colder
portions of the water to rise to the
surface. The formation of ground
ice" or anchor ice," as it is some
times called, is the only exception to
the rule given above.

A WALKING STICK.
The Way to Utilize 1t In Measuring
Different Heights.

A walking stick is an invaluable
article to accompany you on walk,
for it can assist you in other ways
than in aiding your progress. Sup
pose you want to measure the height
of cliff, a church steeple or some
other tall object, and the sun shines
not, and therefore no shadow is
cast. The walking stick will none
the less assist yol to tell its height.
This time take distance some 120
feet from the object which you wish
to measure, and in the ground at
that point firmly plant your stick.
Then move along from it in
straight line until by lying down on
mother earth the top of your stick
and the top of the object to be
measured will to your eye be on
line. This spot you will mark. This
gives you three points-one where
You laid down, two your planted
stick and three the object to be
measured. Now, the distance from
the point where you laid down to
the stick is to the distance from the
stick to the object to be measured
as the height Of the stick is to the
height of that object. Thus, sup
pose the point where you laid down
is six yards from the stick and thir-
ty-six yards from the object, then
the object is six times the height of
the stick. Now, the stick you know
to be three feet high; the object
measured is therefore approximate
ly eighteen feet.
People who live much in the open,
as do ranchers and farmers, can
generally tell time fairly accurately
by the sun, and some, although the
feat is seemingly more difficult, can
tell time from the length of the
shadow thrown by the sun. The
shadow is, however, an easy way of
determining heights. For example,
suppose you wished to ascertain the
height of tree when walking. Pace
the shadow of the tree made by the
sun and then plant your walking
stick and pace it's shadow. AS many
more or less times its length as the
shadow is will give you the distance
of shadow thrown by the sun. For
instance, suppose the shadow to be
three times the length of the stick,
then it is nine feet, for the stick is
three, and if you then divide your
paced distance of the trees shadow
by three you will get fairly near the
actual height of the tree.

HOW HEALTH MAKES HISTORY
What the Past ShOws-BeginninE of
the Downfall of Greece
and Rome

The downfall of Greece began when
she abandoned her policy of making
the health and strength of her people
the principal object of her government
al solicitude.
Rome affords precise parallel; the
relations of cause and effect having
been the same. We find again the pc
riod of prosperity, of riches and of al
most universal domination coinciding
with that of rigorous observance of
the rules of health, and of active cul-
tivation of the physical virtues, fol-
lowed by period when the strength
and skill and courage which Rome had
formerly developed in her own citizens
were bought by her from hirelings,
and when she began her uninterrupted
descent in the scale of nations.
During the middle ages gymnastic
and athletic proficiency became the
almost exclusive property of the no.
bility and the professional soldiery,
and was displayed only at tourna-
ments and in warfare, and this period
includes the dark ages" when letters
and science were at their lowest ebb.
Among modern nations, Germany
has been in the advance. In 1911
jain organized the first Turnverein
The subject soon after received gov
ernmental attention, and a system of
exercise is now employed for all
armies of the German empire, all
able-bodied adult male citizens being
required to give three years of per-
sonal military service. 1t is thus evil
dent that nearly all the male popula-
tion of Germany enjoys the advan-
tages of a systematic physical educa-
tion at period of life when training
is most valuable and important There
is good reason to believe that this fact
was second only to the genius of Moltke
and of Bismarck in determining the re-
suit of the Franco-Prussian war.
In England, says the Saturday Even
ing Post, directly after the Crimean
war, MacLaren, of Oxford, by the in
struction of parliamentary commits
sion, prepared code of physical ex-
ercises which is now used in modified
form in all the barracks of the British
army.
In this country an imperfect but
steadily improving system is being car
ried into effect in the army. The ad-
mirable results, as regards at least the
officers of the military and naval
service, are evident to anyone who has
compared the health and strength of
class of "plebes" at West Point or An
napolis, and those of the same class
at graduation.
The Latin races, who, of all civilized
peoples are the most open to the sus-
picion of decadence and degeneracy,
are those who have most persistently
ignored the cultivation of the body.

How the KANGAROO Fiqhts.

The kangaroo fights with great
address and intelligence, and if he
can find a stream or water hole in
which to await his foes he will sta
ton himself waist deep in it and,
pushing the dogs under one by one
as they swim out to attack him,
either drown them outright or COM
pei them to retire for want Of
breath. Against human enemies,
armed only with clubs or stirrup
irons, the kangaroo often shows
himself a clever boxer, warding off
blows very dexterously with his fore
paws and now and then making for
ward bounds, with rapid play of his
dangerous hind feet, which are Diff
cult to avoid. -..----

An Extraordinary Prayer.

loyal but certainly injudicious Eng

Adelaide, the wife of William ":
90 Lord, save thy servant, our
sovereign lady, the queen; grant
that as she grows an old woman she
may become new man; strengthen
her with thy blessing that she may
live pure virgin, bringing forth
sons and daughters to the glory Of
God, and give her grace that she
may go forth before her people like
a he goat on the mountains"

No Word for Love

In comparison with the English
tongue, foreign tongues seem parsi-
monious in some ways of expression
and wasteful in others. For instance.
it is impossible to "kick" a man in
French. You must give him 'blow
with the foot" The Portuguese do
not twink" at one; they "close and
open the eyes" In the languages of
the American Indians there is no
word with which to convey the idea
of stealing" perhaps because the
idea of property is so vague. 1t is
related of one of the early mission
aries that, in attempting to translate
the Bible into Algonkin, he could find
no word to express ''love," and was
compelled to invent it.-Youth's
Companion.

WHAT OUR POETS SAY.
How Often We Forret,

How often We Forget!
We are too needless of the little things
Done for our comfort by our own each
day;
Too thoughtless of the cheek our lips
might kiss;
The grateful word-so skort a word to
say!
We notice not the tired feet hurrying
On our small errands; fail to heed the
meek
Word of reproof, nor sicken with the
thought
That at our blunders less kind lips might
speak.
God trains His angels in our simple homes,
Whiie we search skyward for the radiant
wings;
And heavens light plays about the patient
souls
Who at our hearthstones daily toll and
sing
How often we forget, till dear tired hands
Ano tender watchful eyes
Weary of waiting for our tardy thanks
