REPORT OF COAL STRIKE CON.
MISSION.

The public has commended the
spirit OF the report and has concluded
that the mismanagement OF the situa.
tion shown by the operators was a
somewhat worse practical offense than
the conduct Of the miners. which was
also reprehensible.
The public will have 70 pay more
for anthracite coal than II paid for
several years before the strike. for
both miners and operators will get
more money because OF the increase
OF wages. But the public is willing to
accept settled conditions. even at this
price.
or course. no permanent settle
ment-no certain plan to prevent the
recurrence at some time OF another
such strike-could be devised. But

The ARGUMENT OF SOCIALISM.


Salem has heard the arguments OF
Socialism expounded with great en-.
ergy and plausibility by several prop
a gandists OF that faith the past week.
Most OF these Socialist orators are
little better than the ordinary parti.
sans OF caloric and oracular proclivi-
ties OF other parties. They seek. by
prejudice and misrepresentation 10
build up a new party for political
purposes
To this end. as every new party.
they appeal To the laboring man. 10
organized labor. and seek TO array
him against those who do not labor.
representing that the non-laborer is
the enemy OF the laborer
For the educational Sociaustic
propaganda all men who think and
reason must have profound respect
For the mere builder Of a new party
along the lines referred 10. all who
think can have little respect
The greater and more reasonable
mass OF organized labor unions have
no use for the Socialist political par
~, though at times they are forced TO
express themselves through that me
dium.
Rightly understood the argument
of Socialism appeals 10 an classes
both the organized and unorganized
laborer, both the resident of cities and
the resident OF the farm.
Rightly understood. the nonlabor.
ing class are blessing 10 the laborer
and producer. for the man who does
not labor with his hands must newt
ably be the best patron OF labor. and
the best customer OF the consumer.
The socialisuc ideal OF no leisure
class whatever. community OF all
lahoring men, community OF all
farmers, as producers. or community
without a man in Il who ever gave
employment 10 another. or who ever
bought a dollars worth OF anything.
would be unprogressive and unprOduc-
tive Of wealth in the true sense.
A community composed Of leisure
citizens none having the stimulus 10
labor OF the incentive to acquire prop
srty or wealth. would be equally ride.

HAIL
STORM

About five hundred acres of grain
in the northern part of this county
were destroyed by hail last Monday
evening. The storm started at a
point about four miles east of Stark
weather, and travelled in q northeast
erly direction, %traversing Royal and
Mortified townships, where the most
damage was done. The path of the
storm was about two miles in extent.
At the village of Mortified the storm
abated somewhat. A hail storm
struck the Neche@ country the same
evening, and it is supposed to have
been the same storm. The crops in
the northern tier of townships was
unusually good for this dry year, and
there will be considerable loss, with
out much insurance. Among the
losers are A. M. Dickinson, w. M.
Anderson, VIM. Pitt and Nj. D.
Kavanaugh. The storm seemed tc
infict damage merely in spots, al
many of the farms in the track Of the
storm remained untouched.

STYLE

Considerable misunderstanding ex-
lists as to the method employed
in numbering the houses fronting on
the streets and avenues Of the city.
Tho numbers on the streets commence
with Minnewaukan avenue on the ex-
IRENE west end of town, and proceed
The first house is No. 100.
Each block, with the block opposite,
contains 100 numbers, hence the num-
bering was started on the scale of 100
to identify easily the blocks. All
houses on the north side of the street
have even numbers, those on the
south, odd. The last house number
ed borders on Moore avenue, and it is
No. 700 The numbering of the
avenues will commence with Seventh
street, and continue southwark.
Those having the work in charge have
been very active during the past two
weeks, and soon every house in tn g
city will have its number. The con-
venience of this system cannot be
seasily=estimated. twill. be used as
a basis for the city directory, soon to
be published. The annual receipts
of the p%ostofice in this city has been
enough to justify the establishment Of
a free delivery system for all mails,
and it is likely that such system will
be installed at a very early date.

so BAD

SO much has been said with refer
once to the condition of the crops in
Ram ,ey county that the editor If the
Inter Ocean made a drive to Edmore
and return for the purpose of ascer-
tanning the true conditions of affairs.
The rainfall this summer, it seems,
has been most remarkable in that it
has been local. Since May there has
not been a general rain which covered
the whole county. In some sections
there is no complaint on account of
scarcity of moisture. In other Sec
lions there has been very little rain
and in these localities the crops are
short-particularly wheat. At pres
ent the outlook for a fair crop is very
much moro encouraging than we had
been led to think it was from reports
received. The wheat ron suffers
most and there will be no record
breaking yields this year. There are
a few instances where the crop has
been plowed up, many that it will
not pay to cut. but in the great ma
jority of cases the yield will run from
8 to IS bushels. Barley and oats fare
much better and the yield will be
fair. Flax promises quite we'll, in
most localities, though the yield will
not be heavy. Hay is short in some
localities, and heavy in others
Taken as a whole the section Of the
county we visited is all right, and thu
outlotk is not at all ~discouraging.
F. H. Prosser returned Thursday

After a careful examination of cro]
conditions in this county, and thu

rains have accomplished wonders il

gloomy prophecies about crop failure
from droutb should no longer b
given credence. The country arount
Devils Lake is specially fortunate thi
year, and MI. Prosser AYERS that con
ditions in the northern half are jus
as good. despite what ny be said t
the contrary.
