THE COAL CONFERENC E.

President Roosevelt may have short
comings, and most assuredly he has
he may fail to please all the people, and
certainly he does he may have es-
tranged Southern feelings sometime
and no one questions that but his lat.
efforts to effect settlement of the Diff
ferencss between the coal strikers and
the mine owners, have set him M
severel degrees in the estimation of the
paopls OF the United States.
Moved by patriotic pity Tor the poo,
AMI others who are destined to severe
suffering by reason of the coal famine,
he called conference of the represent.
atives OF all sides OF the strike question,
and made effort to have differences ad-
justed.
The conference was held in Wash
ington last week, bat adjourned Friday
aud the representatives of those in
teres.ed returned to their places with
the strike condition just as it was when
the conference opened.
The President m ado strong appeal
and begged all to sink their claims fos
the sake OF those who must suffer in
the approaching winter unless coal can
be supplied.
Mitchell, the president of the United
Mine Workers, responded that he, a,
representative OF the strikers, was will.
ing to leave the adjustment of the
matter to tribunal to be selected b,
President Roosevelt. The mine own.
ers and operators would not agree to
any proposition. They said that
Mitchell had no right to come from
Illinois to Pennsylvania and dictate to
them on what terms they should en-
ploy Dor. They insisted tina;
President Roosevelt should call out
the United States troops to QuelI
what they call reign OF terror in the
anthracite coal regions.
Nothing was accomplished, and the
coal situation is as bad as before, bu,
the President has said that he hopes
some good may grow out OF the confer.

you. Indeed, with due respect, sub
NIT that it is audacity in yon TO ask
the great Democratic party to repudi-
ate its own lawful primaries and con-
vention, ana overthrow the fundament-
al law Of its organization, to crafty .
mere handful OF men, especially when
they have gone go far in their opposi
ton to the party as to join hands with
the Republicans, as was proven by your
asking aud receiving the assistance OF
the Republican chairman IN the APP
point<nent OF poll holders.
And now word abont your alleged
authority. l find it hard to reconcile
some Of your "ring performed ss" With
your "anti-rlng" protest. ms. I have
noticed tina. Capt. Day visited Haiif.x
on Sunday, September 7th. and that Oh
Monday, the next day, your COMMITTEES
met and changed your legislative tick
ct. That be was here again last Sun
day, and on Monday your committee
again met and made this proposition to
take down the whole ticket. It seems
that moves In the Independent camI
follow his Sunday visits with peculiar
promptness and regularity.
Now, respectfully ask what author
ity has your committee to alter and
take down at will a ticket which yOL
claim was made by the peoples mass
meeting? w hat right have you to
undo the peoples work on Monday,
even il SO great Republican light as
Capt. Day was here on Sunday? II
your former mass meeting was SO large
and fully representative as you haye
been claiming, why not respect its
work, and stand by its ticket? If that
one does not bind you, how could an
other?
It appears to me that your PROPOSE
ton to repudiate your SO called mass
meeting amounts to confession that
it was a failure. I always believed
that candor would finally compel you
to acknowledge that, but I never
thought YOU would confess your weak
ness to the extent Of asking me to help
you get up one.
Very respectfully,

However much we may deplore the
situation among the strikers in the coal
region, all who read carefully the pro-
ceedingA OF the conference il Washing
ton last week batween the representa-
trves OF both sides Of the question, must
admit that Mitchell, president of the
United Nine Workers, and therefors
leader OF the strike, showed fsr more
commendab!e spirit than did the mil e
owners and mine operators.

THE BALkY HORSE.
A Little Trick That. 1t Is Said, VIII
Start Him Every Time,

A Little Trick That. 1t Is Said, VIII
Start Him Every Time.
for the benefit of those who have
been caused a great deal of anxiety by
a balky horse, lost trains as well as
tempers and sometimes even ruined
the horse, the next time they have the
experience to run across a balky horse,
no matter how bad he is, let me tell
you how to start him ninety-nine times
out of a hundred.
OF cours. it may fail one time in q
hundred. When a horse balks. no mat
ter how badly he suIks or how ugly he
is, do not beat him. Don't throw sand
IN his ears, don't use a rope on his
fore legs Or even burn straw under
him. Quietly so and pat him on the
head a moment. Take a hammer or
even pick up a stone in the street,
tell the driver to sit still, take his lines,
hold them quietly while you lift Il
either front foot, give each nail a light
tap and q good smart tap on the frog,
drop the foot quickly and then chirp
to him to so. In ninety-nine cases out
OF a hundred the horse will go right on
about his business, but the driver
must keep his lines taut and not pull
or Jerk him back.
II I've tried this once, l have tried
it 500 times. and every time / have
suggested it people have laughed and
even bet So and bottles of wine thatBI4
could not do it. So far I have won ey.
cry bet. This may make you smile, but
a horse has more common sense than
most people are willing to give him
credit for. The secret of this little trick
is simply diversion. I am a firm believ-
er that with kindness and proper treat
ment a horse can be driven with a
string.-Horse Shoers' Journal.
