GROW OLD GRACEFULLY

Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton has
been writing on the subject Of how to
grow old easily. happily and gracefully.
She Is now in her eighty fifth year and
sne says life to her Is as sweet as ever.
She has no pains or aches, no REGRETS
or forcbOdings for herself; all her sor-
rows are for the troubles of others.
Il attribute my vigorous old age In
part 70 advantageous circumstances, y
she says, "in part to n happy. hopeful
temperament, a keen sense Of humor,
sympathi"s for all my fellow beings
and y deep interest in all the vital
questions of the hour.

characters do not possess the necessary
elements of a high development. II one

To XIII Trusts and Prevent Strikes

Speaking of the settlement of the
coal strike by the appointment of an
ar duration commission, The Commoner
says:
1.-THE arbitration of this strike does
not however affect the general ques-
tlons involved. The miners and the
public should insist npon Legislation
which will kill all the trusts and make
strikes unnecessary. The Kansas City
platform remedies should be urged
upon congress as soon as the next
session convenes. They are:
.First-A national board of arbitra-
tion for the settlement of differences
arising between corporations engaged
in interstate commerce and their en-
ployes.
Second-The abolition of govern
ment by injunction.
Third-The removal of the tariff on
coal land On all other articles con-
trolleo by trust).
Fourth-The exclusion of all cor
porations FROM interstate commerce
until they secure license from the
federal government, such license to be
given only when it is shown that
there is no water in the stock and that
the corporation applying for the
license is not trying to monopolize
any branch of business.
To these should be added law pro-
hibiting railroads from engaging in
coal mining or in any other business
conflicting with the business of their
patrons.
The settlement of this strike is only
temporary relief, and steps should be
taken to prevent the recurrence OF such
troubles.
The democrats stand on solid ground ,
they have effective remedies and they
should take advantage of the interest
aroused by the coal strike to secure the
adoption of these remedies.
