Never Heard Lords Prayer.

If Hetty Williams, of Fort Scott,
Kan, could have repeated the Lords
prayer she might have had one year
less TO serve in prisOn-but she
couldn't. She confessed she never
had even heard che prayer. She is a
dashing and rather pretty young
woman of the frontier who has been
convicted of horse stealing. The evil
dence showed she was a professional.
The court, moved by her youth, after
having sentenced her to five years in
the penitentiary, offered to reduee
the term of four years if she would
repeat the Lords prayer as an indi-
cation that there was good ground
in her heart in which to start a crop
of reform. Hetty owned up frankly
she didn't know a word OF It. She

Members Of the corps believe, because
they are the personal representatives
of their sOvereigns or governments,
they should rank next to the president
of the United States. EmbaTTassments
multiply at every state function. If
state dinner is to be given at the white
house half a dozen officials of the state
department must give hours of study
to the relative rank of the guests to
be invited and determine in what or
der they shall be seated. 1t is even
necessary to trace the lineage Of some
of these diplomats of apparently equa!
rank back for two generations to dis
cover which should rank the other.

tween the United States supreme court
and the diplomatic corps were so grave
that il became necessary To seat them
respectively in seats exactly the same
distance from the front and on OPP
posite sides of the central aisle Of the
church where the ceremonies were
held. This seemed to solve the prob
lem until they each contended that
they should be seated on the side of
the aisle where the president and his
cabinetwere seated. 4 compromise had
to be effected. The democratic tenden-
cy of the people in this country oppose
them to a master of ceremonies. The
republic of France has such a function
airy, and the republic of the United
States may have TO come to it some

The democrats are ~endeavoring to
make political capital out Of the anthra-
cite coal strike. This is the habit Of that
party whenever there is any disturbance
between labor and capital. 1t seeks to
profit by every such occurrence and
builds its hopes upon popular discon-
tent. The chairman OF the New York
democratic state committee is quoted as
saying that the 'coal strike is simply
one appalling incident in a general stu
alton for which every thoughtful and
patriotic citizen must surely hold the re-
publican party responsible"
In what way car the republican party
be reasonably or justly held responsible
for this unfortunate conflict No such
assertion has been made by either party
to it, and no one who has ~intelligently
considered the claims on either side can
honestly assert that politics or party in
terest has anything whatever to do with
the controversy between the coal opera
tors and the miners. So far as political
a~filiation is concerned the controlling
men among the operators are democrats.
Baer, who is the head and front" of the
coal combine. is admittedly a democrat.
J. Pierpont Morgan, who could settle the
trouble with a word If he were disposed
to do so, is said to be a democrat. The
politics of other members Of the coal
combine has not been stated, but It is
probable that some of them are demo-
Gratis. At any rate, all of these men
have refused to permit political consid-
erations to have any weight with them,
and while there is no certain indication
in this as to their politics, 1t must be re-
garded by rational men as at least evil
dence that the republican party is not
responsible for the strike. Moreover. it
is by no means certain that a majority
of the striking miners are not democrats,
since many of them are foreigners, who
are quite as likely to be affiliated with
the democrats as with the republican
party.
The obvious fact, which will be ad-
mitted by all candid men, is that neither
party is In the least degree responsible
for this conflict. Politics has nothing
whatever to do with it. The grievances
which the miners urge In defense of
their course are of long standing. They
are wholly apart from politics. The OPP
orators oppose the demands of the
miners on the plea that to yield would
be to surrender the control of their prop
critics to the labor organization. The
character of the contest is clearly de-
fined, and the charge that the republican
party is in any sense responsible for it
is absolutely preposterous. There has
never been a conflict between labor and
capital in this country more completely
devoid of politics than that which is
now being waged in the anthracite coal
region.

MUNICIPAL HOME RnLh.

81aL1 AN11La
In a speech delivered to an immense
audience at Kansas City Saturday,
which occupies a whole page in Sun
days st. Louis Globe-D Democrat, Major
William Warner, a republican war horse
of Missouri, arraigns the democracy for
denying home rule and local self
government to the cities of that state.
Major Warner is quoted In this issue as
follows:
In this state the dominant party, in it's
platform, declares in favor Of home rule
and local self-goverpment, while by It's act
It denies both to the three great cities Of
the state. In it's platform for the purpose
Of getting into ONCE It asserted that Local
self government is a cardinal principle Of
democracy" but when in ONCE a million
of Missourians in st. Louis, Kansas City
and st. Joseph, by ring legislation, are de-
MED the right Of self-~government. In
these cities, in the appointment and con-
troll of the police, the taxpayers are no
more consulted than is an Egyptian
mummy. The only right granted to them
regarding their police is to pay the bills.
In determining the amount to be paid the
decision Of the board Of police commits

final, and from this decision the taxpayers
have no appeal. TIL police force. under
these conditions, when appointed are inde-
pendent of the taxpayers OF the cities.
They are controlled and governed solely
by the wishes and directions Of the execu-
tive.
Major Warmers arraignment of gov
ernor-appointed police commissions In
Missouri and the imperative necessity
for home rule applies with equal force to
Nebraska and Omaha, the only differ
ence being that in Missouri a democratic
governor arbitrarily dominates the local
government of st. Louis, Kansas City
and st. Joseph, while in Nebraska a
republican governor appoints police COM
missions named for him by the railroad
managers and railroad politicians. The
republicans of Missouri very properly
denounce this subversion of local self
government by democrats, and the
republicans of Nebraska should emulate
their example, even If the wrongs are
perpetrated by men sailing under the
republican flag.

The Strike Solicited
Phnadeiphla North Amerlcan.

IN american
locals, while resenting charges Of law
iessness and denying that the presence OF
troops is necessary. declared their inten-
ton to assist in maintaining order and
offered the service OF member to the civil
authorities.
Instead Of reopening the mines. martial
law has closed them tighter than ever. No
collleries have resumed operations, no min
ers have applied for work, no more coal is
being cut. Peace reigns and the coal
barons are unable to make good their
promise.
The result OF this attempt to break a
strike by military force Is not surprising
to those who know the anthracite miners
and the difference between a miner and a
mine laborer. The miner Is an intelligent,
skillful, often an educated man, and he is
not to be overawed by martial display.
He regards the presence Of troops as a
reflection upon his citizenship, and his de-
termination to maintain his rights is in
vsrlably strengthened by attempts to coerce
him. Miners Of this class never have been
rioters. Laborers who neither speak nor
understand English may be impressed by
uniforms and bayonets and led to believe
that the troops have authority here. as in
some other countries, to force them back
into the mlheS' Out IL al INC iapOIeis IN
the anthracite district should go back to
work the mining Of coal could not be re-
sumed on a scale large enough to supply
the ordinary fuel demand in the absence
of the licensed miner.
This the operators know thoroughly, but
they do not admit the facts. Most Of their
newspaper organs either do not understand
that the licensed miner is the controlling
factor In the problem or purposely mislead
their readers into the belief that the ig>
norant. riotous foreign laborer is the only
obstacle to the reopening Of the collierles.

China seems to have become the basis
Of operations for counterfeiters putting
out spurious silver dollars for circula-
ton in Manila, where chances of detec-
ton are supposed to be smaller than in
this country. The generalization Of the
silver in our dollar constitutes a con-
slant temptation to counterfeiters, and
the opportunity for safe prosecution of
their work afforded by conditions in the
far east are not likely to be overlooked.
The only e~ffectual way to put an end
to this sort Of crime is to readtust our
coins so that the silver in them is APP
proximately worth the face value in
stead of having its value doubled As now
by impressing the mint stamp upon it.

The coal barons told President Roosevelt
that the miners wanted to return to work
and that the strike would collapse II troops
we're sent to protect the majority from the
violence OF the lawless minority. The
miners have answered that statement.
More than 100, 900 men, members OF 349
out OF the $50 local unions, met on Wednes-
day and without a dissenting voice de-
clared their purpose to continue the strike
indefinitely II their demands are not
granted. The total membership of the
unions is LAG 900. Since the strike began
many miners have left the district and
found work elsewhere, the number being
estimated variously from 5000 up to 49,
900, the latter figure being that of some
Of the coal trusts organs. Consequently
the vote OF the locals is practically the
unanimous voice Of the mine workers rep
resented by the coal barons as being eager
to surrender Internationally.
Nonunion men attended the meetings Of
the locals and voted with the members to
sustain Mitchell. In the Panther Creek
valley men imported to work In the col

The Standard Oil company has advanced
the price Of refined oil about 6 per cent,
doubtless because OF the increased use Of oil
for fuel on account of the high rate OF coal.
There is nothing In the production. of crude
petroleum to warrant this increase, but the
Standard monopoly could not resist the
temptation to wiring a little more money out
Of the hands Of consumers. There is no
duty on refined oil or petroleum except
when exported from countries which impose
a duty on American petroleum, so that the
absence of tariff makes it possible for the
Standard to advance the price.
