is to all intents and purposes, trust. Thou
sands OF stockholders have their surplus money
invested in them; but they are really under
the control of very few men.
And the order of United Mine Workers IS, to
all intents and purposes, trust-composed of
thousands of woIkmen-some intelligent and
some densely enorant-many of them unable
to speak the English language. A few men
virtually control this organization: and if it is
not "trust," what is?
Between these two were the public-who
really owned the coal mines and every bit of
raw material in them.--all ready to freeze until
the two trusts could come to an agreement.
There is said TO be law that the state can
take these coal mines, and work them, If the
con panies fail to bring out their capabilities.
But it has not been enforced.
There is law that no one man has right
to interfere with another ones working-at
whatever wage; but it has not been enforced
There is coal enough to fill the lack, if it
could be rushed in from foreign countries; but
there is duty to pay upon it, SO as to destroy
healthy competition.
There is a law that coal producers cannot be
coal-carriers; but il has not been enforced, aud

Who the Humbugs Are.

Will Carleton in E,e,y Where
A Boston paTer refers to Carrie Nation as "a
humbug." There never was greater mistake in
newspaperdom. Whatever Mrs. Nation is or is
not, she is no numbug. She says what she
means and means what she says: and those are
not the distinguishing marks of humbug.
She may be ga terror, "Ibut it is to evil-doers.
She may have been "a destroyer" but only of
property that was being used to destroy the
human race, and used in spite of the law.
She may be ''mad" i" but not in the insane sense
OF the term.
Thousands of the most respectable aud enlight.
ened women OF this country would, if they dared,
do The very same things that she has done.
Many of them have said so, and still say so.
What is the use of sensible people making
even open secret of the fact that liquor is
dragging our race down to ultimate failure, de-
struction and everlasting perdition? Why
not admit It, provide against it, and turn the
procession another way?
No: the real humbugs are: officers of the law,
sworn to enforce it, and failing to do So for lack
of nerve or fear of failure in the next election.
People who admit that intemperance is great
"evil," and then 60 on drinking and assisting
or permitting others to drink.

State Buys Away From Home.
Ottawa Republic.

Ottawa Republic
1t is not generally known that Franklin county
contributes largely to the worlds supply of po.
tatoes. The fact is, however, that potatoes
are now being loaded tor shipment in carload
lots, and that there will be many such ship
ments within the next few weeks. The
local potatoes will probably find their way into
southern markets.-Ottawa Herald.
This item will be read with interest along
side an advertisement that appeared in the To-
peka Capital Monday, over the signature Of H.
]. Allen, president of the state board of charities.
This advertisement calls for several thousand
bushels of potatoes for use in the state institu-
tons, but specifies that they must be Colorado
or Northern grown" 1t looks like a tough
proposition for Franklin county farmers to have
TO ship their potatoes south, while the president
OF our state board of charities buys in outside
states. What about the beloved doctrine of pro-
tectng home industries.

TWO PRESIDENTS.

From the Kansas City World.
Speaker D. B. Henderson was right the other
day when, coming out of the White House, he
remarked to the reporters: "I have just shaken
hands with the two greatest presidents-Presi
dent Roosevelt and President Mitchell"
And of the two, perhaps The miner president
is the greater.
Roosevelt is great in courage. He is great
IN honesty But lie is not tactful general.
He is not zip 'onna'.
John Mitchell has as much courage Roo>e-
veil. Like Roosevelt, he is thoroughly hoiiest
slnd above price. Bn. over and above these
qualities, Mitchell i; both tactician and
diplomat.
Blend fearless Sherl ~, conscientious Jon
a,ham Edwards, an executive wellington and ia
.onsuinnate Talleyra"d, and in the composite
sou have John Mitchell the self-made labor
leader
This is the man who held an undsciplined
army of I5o, 900 men and boys of every nation
,li,y--held them Absolutely
This is the man who found himself opposed
by the best brains that money could buy, and
overma,ched hem.
This is the man whom capital could not pur-
chase. Labor, often betrayed by its ! aders,
knew then that an ill-golten dollar would never
stain he palm of John Mi:chel's hand.
This is the man who, with the opportunity t.
make millions, remained interrupted and incor-
uptble
This is the man who could keep his own
counsel. When he chose, he was as taciturn
az Grant.
The man who inspired no jealousy in his
lieut.. nants.
This is the man who kept his finger on the
pulse of public sentiment and made it supple
n,ent his plans.
This is the man who forced every self respect
ing newspaper in the land to voice mis- plea.
Small wonder he won!
And winning, there was no pose of boast.
Modest manly, sef.contained almost ascetc,
but Say onarola when aroused, this masterful
man has won his way and made no sign.
A truly great soul dwells in the body of John
Mitchell, miner.

Fight Between Two Trusts.
Will Cartoons Magazine, Every Where.

Will Carlcton's Magazine Every Where.
The country of the United States has, fo1
several weeks, been the laughing-stock of the
world. 1t even laughed at itself, and would
have done so much more heartily had there not
been vein of possible tragedy underlying the
comedy.
1t saw itself standing at the zenith of pros
perity, and at the same time liable to be frozen
to death for lack of fuel; with unemployed
millions of dollars IN the banks, and no coal in
the Eips; with determined poor people ready to
burn up anything they could find rather than
suffer when cold weather came, and rich ones
nervous for fear they would.
Meanwhile, within few hours of the prn-
cipal cities were mountains of coal-the best in
the world, and capable of supplying the coun-
try for centuries to come. There were plenty
of men on the ground, capable of producing it
in large quantities. There were engines and
cars ready to take hem in all directions.
What was the NJ ltter?-A fight Ietween two
trusts, on the matter of wages and one or two
other conditions.
For the coal con. bnation Of owners and ope-

A Trust is Like a River.

The Chicago Tribune tells why trust is like
a river:
1t looks on the level, but it isn't.
There are sometimes great many bluffs
along the way.
Some are 'tdam site' worse than others.
There is lot of water in some of them.
It's course is strewn with wrecks.
1t flows through many communities of inter-
est
1t is usually rather crooked.
1t floats bubbles nicely.
The big fish gobble up the small fry.
1t runs smoothest where the waters are deep
est
1t abounds with "rocks."
Suckers are numerous.
1t takes an awful frost to stop it.
Beware of running the rapids,
TRUSTS are like rivers.

from the big companies are frozen into agree
ment with them, or out Of business.
What is the country thinking about, any
way? Is it willing to sacrifice itself on the
altar of combination, and give itself up to
few men who happen to have the luck or dex-
terity to lead and direct owners OF stock?

THE United Brethren church has abandoned
Lane University, at Lecompton, which has
been emerged" with Campbell University, at
Holton. Lane University has kept alive the
old town of Lecompton, and its removal will
make numerous harbois for owls and bats. We
regret the removal of the university.

AMERICAN POLITICAL PARTIES.

Unless the socialists continue their
rapid growth there Will be only two po-
Htical parties of any consequence in
this country in the next campaign.
Since the formation of the federal and
republican parties at the very begin
ming of our government there have been
only two parties in existence at a time
Of any great strength. Time and again
there have been formed parties as Off
shoots from one or the other of the
two great political factions, but they
have been short-lived and had little
weight during their existence. The two
great parties of today are the continual
tions OF the two formed during Wash
ington's first administration, with their
principles changed only to suit altered
conditions of the country. The repub-
Hcan party of the present day is the
hneal descendant of the old federalist
party, with the same fundamental prin-
ciples Of that party as its foundation.
So is the democratic party based upon
the ideas. of government as held by
the founders of the republican faction
Of Washington's time. The cOnstitu-
tion is the real fountain head of these
two parties and the different construo-
tion placed upon certain of its clauses
is at bottom the cause of formation
Of these two opposing political elements.
All other parties that have arisen,
fiourished for awhile and then passed
cut of existence have been formed up
On desire to carry to extreme some of
the tenets of one or the other of the
two great parties or upon new issues
which did not have weight enough to
give them permanent hold upon the
minds of the people. The most promi-
nent and powerful of these side-issue
parties was the populist. For awhile it
fourished and seemed to be rapidly
forging to the front. 1t looked for a
time as if it would wreck one or both
of the two old parties. But as all the
others like it, it was short-lived. It's
ranks soon began to thin and it's ad-
herents returned to their old allegiance.
A few years ago this party welded
great power in this state. In the late
election lIS COHuludleS were elGCleu III
only one county. The fight was be-
tween democrats and republicans. AS
in our state election, so it was in the
national. The next house of represen-
tatives will not contain a single pop
uIist, and after March f. 1908, there
will not be a populist senator. whereas,
only a few years ago this party had
several representatives in the latter
body and a goodly number in the house.
Populism has entirely passed out of
American politics 1t is to be hope.l
that socialism will meet the same fate;
that it will die out before it gains
enough strength to be of ary great
harm to the country. That it can be-
come a permanent party organization
of any power we do not believe but its
rapid strides in the east two years are
cause for alarm to the members of the
tive old parties as we'll as to the coun-
try without regard to party politics.
