Friction Between Secretary Root and
Commanding General Makes
Change Neceesary-Obstruets plans
for the Army's Welfare.


Washington. April 14-The Issues
are fairly Joined between the lieulen-
ant general OF the army and the secre-
tary of war. The trouble, which be-
gan long ago. under the Cleveland
administration. has finally reached SO
critical stage that the compulsory
retirement of General Miles at an
early date is an open secret and is not
denied at the white house. In explann-
tion of President Roosevelt's position.
one of his close friends, who unques-
tionably speaks by authority. says
THE question is not a personal one
between General Miles and Secretary
Root. At present Secretary Root has
on his shoulders heavier burden
istration. No man less strong could
carry 1t at all. and Cow. at the very
time when he requires the most loyal
support of. every subordinate who
wishes well to the army. he has to
spend much of his strength in meet
ing the opposition of the commanding
general. If General Miles is retired
1t will be simply because after patient
trial President Roosevelt feels that on
the highest ethical grounds his reten-
ton would work grave and lasting In
jury to the army as whole. II he
should go out before General Brooke
is retired. the latter, who is General
Miles senior both In service and in
age and who did gallant and distin-
guished work as a volunteer in the
civil war, would undoubtedly be put in
his place as lieutenant general. as it
Is known he is desirous of recognizing
General Brookes long and faithful
service"

spend every penny that you get, and
II must cease. Remember that the
pennies make shillings and the shil-
llngs make pounds. If you do not
change your habits of always spend
ing TO habits Of Judlclous saving, l will

The admonition had no good effect on
the youth, and he continued to spend
the pennies before they could accu-
mulate into shillings.
His father spoke no more about the
matter, but he applied the rod most
vigorously 10 him until he howled with

little groups of color and artistic blend

and shining stones. Then when you
peer into the tanks you see what at
first seem TO you just like particularly
handsome and gorgeous flowers grow
Ing all over the little rockerles. Some
Of the flowers look like dainty pink
and white and yellow and purple and
crimson dahlias. Others look almost
like daisies, with lacelike petals
Others look like little star flowers, all
pure white and perfect. These flowers
are of all sizes. from tiny ones barely
large enough to see to great ones al.
most large enough TO fll a saucer.
But II you viii watch these flow.
ers" for few minutes you will jump
suddenly, for all at once you will see
one move its petals. Then you will
see another and another do 1t. Slowly
the petals unfold or contract. with
little jerking movements, sometimes
twining in the water Ike snakes.
Tap smartly on the table on which
the tanks stand, and like lightning all
the petals will have disappeared.
These sea flowers are really not flow.

known as sea auemones.

THE COAL SITUATION.

While President Roosevelt must be
credited with the best intentions In his
efforts TO end the coal strike, and
while the failure to end the critical
and alarming situation is gener-
ally regretted, he and others Tho con
sidered the evidence presented must
recognize the fact that the trouble is
traceabIe at last to the weakness and
failure of the political powers that be.
II President Mitchell and his lieuten-
ants are right in their contention that
the strikers are the victims OF an in
satiate coal trust, then why has not
the law against such monopoly been
enforced7 II on the other hand the
United Mine Workers Association is
combination to control The labor
market. and as such falls clearly with
in the definition Of a trust, why has
the law not been applied by those
charged with the execution OF the
same? President Roosevelt has open
ed up a question that comes directly
home to him. The law has not been
enforced. II II had been applied with
a firm hand at the proper time the pub
lie would not have been called upon
TO shiyer and pay the penalty.
The demand for higher wages and
for better environments" presented
by President Mitchell is a demand that
appeals to popular sympathy and
probably a demand that the coal ba.
rons should be willing TO grant, even
II some Of the increase should come
out OF their own pockets and not all
Of It out Of the pocket OF the consum.
er, as usual; but the demand present
ed by the strikers for an increase of
wages is not so serious as a demand
presented by representatives of the
other side.
If It is true as charged, that a reign
Of terror exists I'm the anthracite re
gion led by the men whom President
Mitchell represents; If free men who
are ready 10 work in the mines are in
undated, beaten and murdered, or
their families terrorized in their alb
sence; If the authorities are resisted
and the laws dehed. then the very
first thing 10 be done is TO put down
the outlawry and anarchy at whatever
cost. While IN increase Of wages for
the strikers IS something for which we
might all feel disposed to stand. a de-
mand for more wages is not 10 be
classified with n demand for civil or.
der. Truly. "the government is a con-
temptible failure If 1t cannot protect
the lives Of the people by only compro-
missing with the violators of law and
the instigators Of violence and crime"
President Roosevelt is almost
within sight OF the alleged battle
ground. If outlawry Is rampant there
he must know about II. Regardless of
the special interest Of this side of that
side. peace and order should be re.
stored and maintained. After that is
done, II this is really land of law and
order and not merely a land Of politics
and anarchy The Federal authorities
as well as the state authorities should
proceed to apply unsparingly the acts
of congress and the state laws against
all the combinations in restraint of
trade. II this course were courage
ously pursued neither President Mitch
ell nor President Baer would have
within their power the shiverlng mil
Ions who must pay the penalties and
do the suffering besides.
