STILL IMPROVING.
Conditions i'm Kansas City Assuming
Normal Stntc

Normal State.
Kansas City. Mo, June with the
rapid fall CT the rivers business is re-
Stunning its normal condition. The
waterworks are pumping black water
from the Kansas river, not fit to drink,
and the danger from fire is over. The
fire underwriters met and issued
statement expressing satisfaction
with the conditions, Electric street
car lines are i'll operat ton. The tele-
phone and telegraph connection will
be established between the two Kan
sas Cities to-day, lines being stretched
across the ruins of the James street
bridge. Gangs of railroad repairers
follow close upon the heels of the re-
treating food, and the tracks are be-
ing cleared Of mud where covered and
brought to grade where washed out.
Only Eight Dead.
In still water in the masses of
driftwood on the Clay county side of
the Burlington bridge not one body
has been found by the men who are
hauling timber ashore, nor have they
seen any bodies. At this place many
bodies were said to be collected, and
their noneNistence makes it likely
that the total list of dead will not go
much above eight, the number now
authenticated, Most of the missing
persons have been heard from.
Losses Less Than $1O,OOO,OOO.
Estimates of the damage done by
the flood are being reduced. At first
they ranged from $1O,000.00O up, but
now they are all much below that
sum. The greatest loss was of the
16 bridges across the Kansas river,
all substantial structures. The pack
ing house plants did not suffer
severely. Small storekeepers IN
the flooded district are ruined and
the losses on buildings are distri-
buted among thousands of owners.
No first-class modern building has
been ruined

THE OWNER IS THE MASTER.
Plan of Settling All Troubles Between Miners
and Operators.
What Miners Can Do, Other Working Men Can
Accomplish As Well.

Antony Gallagher, of Chicopee, Cherokee
county, gives the Pittsburg Kansan plan by
whican the coal-miners can greatly benefit
themselves in more ways than one. If his
plan will benefit the miner (and of that there is
no doubt it would benefit the working men o.
all lines, and farmers, as we'll. We give Mr.
Gallagher's plan, as follows:
eff the miners OF this district can raise
800, 900, and the miners of the entire country
can raise $4,000, 900, in three months in time
of war; as they did to help out the big anthra.
cite strike, what is there to hinder them from
doing that and better, in time of peace?
81 teel rather proud of what we miners did,
and I'm sure none of us regret it. We would
do it again if need be-yes; we would double
the amount if there was occasion.
''But, after all, what have we to show
what has any one to show-for the $oo 900
sent from this district to Pennsylvania?
"Not thug except the satisfaction of hav-
ing helped other miners in distress-which is
good as far as it goes.
"The strike, in certain sense, was won,
to go over the whole thing again, in even
more aggravated form, within year.
s'I think, however, we learned lesson, and
that is that, by each miner assessing himself,
or being assessed, small sum each week, the
miners of this district can speedily raise fund
by which they might begin freeing themselves
from selfish operators.

1T would not be long until we had 500, 900
TO our credit and, with capital half that big,
we could prepare the way.
"Of course, we would have to organize on
business basis, but that is not 50 hard now.
"We have quite number OF men in our
ranks who have had considerable experience
IN handling large amounts OF money.
"The public has but a small idea of the big
sums that are collected and disbursed by our
district officers, and to their credit be it said,
we have had very little difficulty in having all
the funds properly accounted for. In other
words, we have good supply of fairly-wel-
trained business men in our craft-men who
could take full charge of large receipts and ex-
penditures.
"We have also quite spr;nkling of men
among us who are thoroughly competent to
organize, to manage, superintend, direct and
control every kind Of work that is done in the
mine below OF on top.
"Now, being equipped with men, money and
managers, what is there to hinder us, after
properly organizing under the laws of the
state, to purchase quarter or half or whole
section Of coal land put down shaft, and in
due time, begin raising and marketing coal in
the interest of the organization?
"If the miners throughout the district would
continue digging for other operators as they do
now, and also, for few years, keep up their
contributions, or assessments it would not be
long-sooner than any one will believe that
has not Investigated the subject say it would
not be long till we miners through this organ
ization, could and would own every coal mine
in Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas and the Ter
rtory.
"Of course, we would own great department
stores, at which not only miners, but farmt rs
and everybody else, could purchase everything

CRADDOCK LOSES OUT.
Supreme Court Says He Is Not Mayor.

In the quo warrranto proceedings to oust w.
H. Craddock from the office of mayor of Kan
sas City, Kas., the supreme court has decided
against Mr.. Craddock.
Of course! Republican supreme court
may always be depended upon 10 constfue the
law to suit its partisan ends; or, it looks that
way to man up tree.
The Republican candidate just had to have
that office, and the supreme court helped him
to get it, regardless of the fact that the law
failed to provide tor an election.
The supreme court says, in effect, that, al
though the law does not provide for an election,
it "may be provided for by implication as we'll
as by specific direction"
Thus is the Republican party again aided by
partisan court.

Some Thought -InStigatOrS
From the Coming Nation.

From the Coming Nation.
No one knows better than the capitalists that,
sooner or later, they must get off the workers
backs; but they are going 10 ride as long as
they can. And that will be just as long as the
workers let them, and no longer.
l am quite sure that, under Socialism, you
will not find such headings as the following in
the daily newspapers: "Must Sacrifice Learn.
ing for Bread. Family Too Poor to Keep the
Boy in School, and He Must Work"
If all the wealth and all the armies of all
Europe should combine to fight the United
States, the capitalists of this country would
not fear it as they do the rapid growth of So
ciallsm. If you want better conditions my
friends, help it grow.
Just keep this thought in mind: Nnder So.
cialism, whatever MAJORITY of the people
decide shall be the standard of moral, social or
industrial conditions, that is the standard that
will obtain. The majority is not always right2
No. but would much prefer to live under such
a regime-in which had voice-than to be
governed by the laws and standards of tha mi
nority-especially when that minority is COM
posed of such men as we find in the Missuri,
Illinois and Pennsylvania legislatures.
In town where once lived, there was an
old fellow who used to get drunk every day.
He said he was trying to consume all the visi-
BILE supply of liquor so theae would be none
left to corrupt the morals of the other fellows
The old man had a steady job. I was just
thinking perhaps that's the reason John D.
Rockefeller is absorbing all the wealth of the
country. He's afraid it will corrupt the morals
Of the rest of us if he don't take care of it. In
this case, it's the working mules that have the
steady job.
Suppose all the gold, all the silver in the
world was like McGinty-sunk to the bottom
of the sea; all the currency, stocks, bends,
mortgages, notes, notes or other evidences of
Indebtedness was burned up? Would there be
any less wealth in the world than there was
before? l mean wealth that contributes to the
well-being, comfort and happiness of mankind
there is no other real wealth. You can't
eat money-you can't wear it. In the middle
of desert, with million dollars worth of
Standard Oil stock, you'd starve to death.
