d. M. Ransdell, sergeant-at-arms of the
United States Senate. was right when he
said few days ago that Indiana had a
strong and influential delegation in Con-
gress. The high rank Indiana is taking
now is due, he says. to the fact that the
same men are being returned and have now
been there long enough to command infiu-
ence. This Is the exact truth. Mr.. Rams
dell says that both our senators are max
ing fine records and command great infiu-
ence. This Is true beyond any question.
Indiana was never better represented in the
Senate than now. The thing to do is to
continue both Senator's Fairbanks and Bev-
eridge there for years to come. Senator
Fairbanks was recently reelected and now
the republicans of Indiana stand for re-
election of Senator Beveridge as they stood
for the reelection of Senator Fairbanks.
Any movement looking to the defeat of
Senator Fairbanks could have resulted in
nothing but disorganization of the party.
like result would follow an attempt to
defeat the junior senator. Any organized
opposition to either one of our senators
would mean state factions for the party in
Indiana, and Republican factions In state
politics would again put Indiana in the
doubtful column. There should be no
thought of opposition to Senator Beveridge
For that matter, there is no such thought
with the rank and file of the party.

OF combinations of capital to control pro-
duction and prices and the determination of
the courts that they shall not do so. 1t has
been a rare day recently when some court
of competent jurisdiction has not issued a
restraining order against combinations and
what the law regards as conspiracies
against the rights of individuals or society.
American law derives it's vitality from the
English common law, which, from the earli-
est times has condemned everything in the
nature Of trade conspiracies against indi-
viduals or the public at large Even with
out statutory enactment the courts can
find authority at common law to suppress
and punish such conspiracies. The best
of the recent laws on the subject do not do
much more than re-enact common law prin-
ciples. The Sherman antitrust and anti
monopoly law does not do any more. The
most that it does is to extend the appli-
cation Of the common law principle so as
to make 1t apply to all interstate trade. The
recent decisions Of the courts have all been
against monopolies and combinations, and
the order of Judge Kohlsaat in the Indiana
coal cases is no exception. 1t is a benefi-
cent example Of government by Injunction,
or. in other words, of the power of the
courts used to prevent the establishment
Of monopolies to maintain artificial prices

WORK FOR CHILDREN.

Kansas City has bureau of personal
service" which. as a feature of its work,
undertakes to find homes in the country
work. This is very commendable plan.
AS every one knows. many boys and girls
between ten and fifteen years of age. whose
parents are making sacrifices In order to
keep them in school, desire to find some
means of earning money in vacation time.
In cities it is rather difficult to do this, as
business is dull at that time in many lines
and employers are reducing rather than
adding to their force of workers. In the
country, however, it is different. There it
is the busy season, and the problem is to
get workers enough. Much farm labor. of
course, is entirely too heavy for young
boys. but, as every one who has ever lived
in the country knows, there are innumer-
able Chores quite within the ability Of
both boys and girls to do. Even if these
chores included only what can be done in
the way of assistance to the farmers wife,
many places should be open to such chill
dren. Hard as it is to secure farm hands,
farmers wives Nnu the pTODlem Oh SettluS
help in their work a harder one to solve
1t is almost impossible for them to find
women for such service. which is always
help" in the literal sense, for the farmers
wife invariably takes the lead in the per-
Torrance of her domestic tasks, and never
sits with idle hands. These duties may
include care of milk, the making of butter,
little gardening and the care Of poultry,
in addition to cooking. washing and IRON
ing and all the rest, but these tasks are
greatly to be preferred to those open to
children in town. No doubt many a farm
er's wife would welcome the chance Of
securing the assistance of strong and
willing boy or girl for the summer. and the
movement in Kansas City to further the
project might well be undertaken else
where. AS for the children themselves. and
with the money consideration out of the
question, they will be much better off for
a summer of hard work in healthful sur
roundings-infnitely better than If left to
the idleness of the streets.

United States Judge Kohlsaat, at Chicago,
has issued restraining order against ten
Indiana coal companies and ten individual
operators. enjoining them from continuing
their combination for the regulation of
coal prices and output. This is a new phase
of the suit recently brought against these
companies and operators in a state court
and under a state law of Illinois. In that
case Judge Chetlain a local judge of high
reputation, dismissed the case on the
ground that whatever offense had been
committed was against the federal laws
and not against those of Illinois. The suit
seems to have been promptly transferred
to the United States Court, with the re-
suit as above announced. The order of the
court is directed against the following Indi-
ana bituminous coal companies and operat-
ors, viz: The Crescent Coal and Mining
Company. of Chicago. and the Bruillette
Creek Coal Company, Wabash Valley Coal
Company, Oak Hill Coal Company. Coal
Bluff Mining Company, Parke County Coal

PRESIDENTS TRIP sTIRs STRIFE
Local SQuabbles Over His Coming
Visits Annoy Him.

Washington Letter in Philadelphia Press.
President Roosevelt is a good deal out
OF patience with the petty jealousies and
souabbles of local committees and organ
jzations in some of the cities he expects to
visit on his Western tour. The President
deprecates any attempt to use his visits 10
exploit any tactionalism or to give his
presence any political significance. He was
greatly annoyed by the harsh criticism OF
Mayor Carter Harrison. Of Chicago. who
saw in his visit to that city a political plot
on the part of the Republicans. A mu-
nicipal campaign is in progress there in
which Mr.. Harrison Is a candidate for re-
election for the mayoralty and Mr.. Graeme
Stewart, national committeeman from llll-
nois, is the Republican candidate. Mayor
Harrison was small enough to suspect that
the Republican leaders Intended to have
President Roosevelt lend his presence as
part of the political campaign.
When the President heard or this cr1t-
icism he was very indignant, and the two
senator's from Illinois at once FASTENED 10
notify Mayor Harrison that there was no
politics in the Presidents visit whatever,
and that he, as mayor, was invited to as
sist in entertaining Mr.. Roosevelt, who
would go to Chicago as the chief executive
of the whole people and without any
thought of influencing local election The
mayor responded to this. bat made bad
impression In MS acceptance OF the inSila-
ton to help entertain the President by say
ing he would do so if the latter's visit was
not to be for partisan purposes. This reply
is regarded as a reflection upon the can
didness of Senators Cullom and Hopkins.
St Paul and Minneapolis are squabbling
over the honor of entertaining the Presi-
dent each city being afraid he may stay
five minutes longer in one than In the other.
At other points on his itinerary there are
local squabbles over the Presidents visit.
and the question as to how he shall be en-
tertained and by whom. All Of this is very
distasteful to Mr.. Roosevelt, and he has
threatened to make his own itinerary and
reach the objective point of his trip, the
Yellowstone Park, in his own time. He is
anxious to meet the people OF the North
west whom he has known for many years,
but does not care to have the tour a source
of embarrassment to any one. He Is pre-
pared to address the people at various
points along the route, and there Is no
doubt he will have much to say that will be
interesting and significant.

THE COAL COMMISSIONS AWARD.


Philadelphia Record.
Asked whether the award OF the COM
mission met the anticipations of himself
and the other anthracite presidents. Mr.
Baer replied:
Il have nothing to say. and l may state
my reasons to you later
From what little was said by other Phila-
delphia operators, however, it was clearly
established that. save upon few points,
the award was practically what was gen.
orally expected by the operators.
One Reading official said: with few
exceptions, Mr. Baer's suggestions were
largely carried out in the award Of the
commission, and there is very little con-
tanned therein that would not in all prob
ability have been carried out by the OPP
orators, except the eight-hour day for
certain class of engineers Even IN tha'
instance, where Ii was found that the en-
gineers were under great pressure, the
Reading has voluntarily introduced the
eight-hour shift; but in a great many IN
stances, while on duty twelve hours, the
engineers are by no means actively ahu
continuously engaged. In such instances ~
would be a useless adding or expenditure "

IF the market for anthracite can De maln-
tanned, no one will suffer by the award
save the consuming public. In the event.
however. that present prices cannon pe
maintained, 1t means curtaliment Oh Proo,,
uct and less wages for the miners, anu
everybody will suffer-"
General Manager Henderson,. or the
Philadelphia & Reading Coal and Iron Com
pany thus briefly sssr upon to aid
the public in keeping up prices it could not
have succeeded better"
One great source of qualification 70 the
operators was the refusal of the commis-
sion to award recognition for the United
Mine Workers and the scoring given that
organization for the lawlessness during the
late strike and for the operations OF the
Representatives of the Council of Allied
Building Trades and other labor organiza-
tions and trades unions in this city clearly
evinced their dissatisfaction yesterday over
the failure of the commission to include
among it's awards a recognition or the
United Mine Workers of America Inc
failure to do this, they contended, was SIM

Indianapolis citizens who are familiar
with the slow progress commonly made in
the erection of public buildings were
amazed two or three weeks ago to see the
foundation stones rising into sight above
the high board fence surrounding the post
office square. They had hardly expected
as much for at least year. They had
scarcely recovered from their establishment
when the date was fixed for the formal
laying of the cornerstone. With the cere-
monies of to-day over, the people of the
city viii begin to look forward hopefully to
the time when they will really have new
and much needed postoffice.
