twill be regrettable if the popula,
agitation incident to the coal famine
of the past winter does not result in
something of permanent good to
consumers, either from more
humane consideration at the hands
of those who control the source of
hard coal supply or from the creation
of opportunities to purchase salts
factory substitutes. There ought to
be some result from tho thorough
exploitation of peat and Ignite
possibilities, as the opportunities here
are broader and more promising
than those abroad, where artificial
fuel enterprises are flourishing.
In Germany two kinds of briquettes
are manufactured, -household BIZ
quettes made from Ignite, which
constitute the chief household fuel
of Berlin and other German cities,
and industrial briquettes, made of
soft coal slack and a binder of
mineral pitch, which are used in
locomotives and under stream boiler
generally for smelling, and other
industrial heating. Consult General
Mason states that briquettes are
cheaper, ton for ton, in Berlin, than
anthracite or good biJuminous coal.
There are in the Empire 439 Ignite
mines, 1S1 of which have from one
to six briquette factories with from
one to ten presses.
Although there ought to be room in
the United States for the utilization
of soft coal slack by mixing with
pitch, the artificial fuel Of most
interest to people of the American
Northwest is the Ignite briquette,
which is manufactured successfully
in Germany. Somebody ought to
be able to esta blish a profitable
business in Dakota and Montana,
where there are vast deposit of
Ignite. -Milwaukee Evening Wis.

A NIGHT ALARM,

Worse than an alarm of fire at
night is the brassy cough of Group,
which sounds like the children g
death knel and it means death unless
something is done quickly. Foley's
Honey and Tar never fails to give
insant relief and quickly cures the
worst forms of Group. Mrs. P. L.
Cordier, of Warrington, Ky. writes:
my three year old girl had a severe
case, of Group; the doctor said she
could not live. got a bottle of
Foley's Honey and Tar, the first dose
gave quick relief and saved her ife."

It is commonly remarked among
coal consumers that there will be
compensation for the trouble Of the
present winter in a con inued use of
bituminous coal by city consumers
that will ease the demand for hard
coal and thus relax to some extent
the grip Of the coal trust. It might
also be remarked that there will
be an. increase Development of

that March is really a sort of half

As such it has been grossly abused.
just because the sun shows has
genial face only about one-half Of

reason for the indiscrimate abuse
heaped upon deserving and worthy
head. The sun has no business shin

year, and if he did there would be
an end of our cherry blossoms
which would be caught by the frost.
The real business of the month ia
to see that the SHOWS are melted

the rivers where the water is out

is also hope for relief from the ''sure

barons in the stimulation of peat
and briqpette enterprises in the
West and Northwest. There are
countless thousands of acres of peat
lands from which material can be
secured for the manufacture of a
fuel which if properly dried and
pressed compares favorably with the
best of coal, and for domestic pur-
poses, on account of it's cleanliness is
considered far superior to coal. The
briquette industry also seems
destined to secure foothold. Bri-

A committee representing the
association Of ministers and citizens
which recently protested against the
seating of Senator-Elect Smoot has
sent communication to Mr. Burrows
chairman of the Senate committee
on privileges and elections, deprecat-
ing the charges of polygamy filed by
another body opposed to Smoot.
The point made is that such charges
tend to obscure the real issue of the
contest.
This is not quite clear to the in
terested but impartial bystander.
If Mr.. Smoot has contracted a
polygamous marriage the fact is not
material but overshadowing. It
will necessarily supercede evry other
tissue" The letter, then, is AN
admission that there is no founda-
tin for the charge of polygamy.
What are the other grounds urged
upon the Senate as justifying or
demanding the rejection of Utah's
Senator elect? A member of the
protesting association is quoted as
saying: 1.-The principle for which
we are fighting is that as an apostle
in the Mormon church Mr.. Smoot
has no right in the United States
Senate.
If this is the tissue" the association
desires to press it as wasting it's
energy. The Constitution of the
United States disposes of the matter.
AS the Idaho assembly says in the
telegram it has unanimously ordered
to be sent to Mr.. Smoot, the opposi.
ton to his religious belief there
fore, to his apostleship is contrary
to the American spirit demanding
separation of church and state and
contemplates violation of section 8,
article 6, of the Constitution of the
United States. l.

lis being alleged and supported
quite strongly that Representative
Wilson's bill, making saloon keepers
liable for damage is a bill wholly
in favor Of the saloon keeper. The
Advance stands Just where it has
for several years, in favor Of tenn
perance and prohibition, and believes
we are consistent in saying that the
bill is a step in good temperance
legislation. In making the lio uor
dealer liable for damage it will re-
quire them to be more cautious to
what extent they sell liquor, this
part of the bill all are agreed OH,
but the provision that the saloon
man must be notified in writing
appears to some to be- a barrier
against liability. It is to some
degree. To verbally give notice, has
very little weight in any court and
the exceptions are rare. therefore,
there must be some recognized
notice in order to use as evidence
in case of suit, and If an action is.to
be brought for damages there is only
one recognized form, proper legal
action. Some want a law holding
liquor dealers liable for damage
committed by person while under
the influence of liquor, but suppose
a man wanted to vent his spite on
a certain person. or saloon man he
could take one drink of whiskey,
perform his unlawful act and throw
the responsibility on the saloon man,
claiming the act was committed
while intoxicated, would this be
consistent. Another case; suppose
a habitual drunkard went to an
adjacent town, procured liquor, re-
turned to his place of abode and
committed an unlawful act. Taking
away the provision would make the
saloon keeper liable for damage.
Many illustrations might be given.
When the authorities accept. the
license fee, the saloon men are
to some protection. If the
of license IS prohibited
hen the situation is changed. All
criminals are given certain protec-
ions by the laws. Mr.. Wilson's bill

New York Sun: It is pleasure to
learn from our esteemed Nebraska
contemporary, the Lincoln Star
that Col. William Jennings Bryan
has joined the Southern Lancaster
County Farmer association. At a
meeting Of the association in Normal
the other day Col. Bryan took part
in the discussion of the topic. How
Shall We Care for Our Hens in
Winter to Obtain the Best results 2"
We have not yet had the happiness
of seeing full report of Col. Bryans
views on this fascinating subject,
but we have no doubt that they
were sound and kind, and in every
way worthy of the reputation Of
their distinguished author as a
gentleman, a warrior, a farmer. a
friend of man and hens. For some
seven years Col. Bryan has given
much speech to the care of the
producing classes. " In their modest
and unobtrusive way, hens have an
honorable place among the pro-
ducing classes. The care of these
Industrious producers in the winter
months, which are so trying to the
delicate gallinaceus constitution,
may we'll engage the best labors Of
a student Of the producing classes.
Col. Bryan's long brooding and
cackling over the state of thu country
and the democratic party are now
to cease, we hope. After all, the
country and the democratic party
can take care of themselves. Those
sensitive nervous and finely organ
lied creatures, our hens, need the
most constant attention IN the
winter in order to enable them to
produce the best results. Col. Bryan
has found field where he can be-
truly useful. There are at least six
teen persons to care for our country
where there is one person to care for
our hens.

 The move by Seattle men to form tho Northwestern Trap Company, having for It's objett the catching of all fish for the cannerles of Southeastern Alaska, has caused the Wrangsll chamber of commerce so appoint committee and start move ment for the protection of local fishermen.
 The circular letter sent out by this com. mIttse savs that this scheme Is "direct thrust at, not only the many fishermen of Alaska but at every business man, as hte operators will be hired in Seattle. paid off In Seattle, and their money will be spent in Seattle, thus deprivIng all lines of business in Alaska of that wlleh right fully belongs to our people.
