The Indians have come into line in
advancing financial civilization and
formed little trust of their own which
is causing the cattlemen OF northeast
ern Kansas to wonder. The Indians
own many miles Of fine cattle range In
that section and for years they sum-
mered cattle on their reservations for
81 q head. Then the cattle owners be-
gan bidding against each other for the
choicest corners Of the range and the
aborigine calmly lit fresh pipe and
said he thought that he must really
charge SO for each steer. This was
willingly paid and the red man opened
his eyes and began to give the matter
little serious thought, which resulted
in the quiet announcement few days
ago that the range interests had been
pooled and that the price hereafter
would be IS steer for pasturage. The
cattle raisers were fairly caught and
many will pay the advanced price, as
they have no time to make other graz
ing arrangements. = Springfield Re-

Over in Pennsylvania the freedom of
the press is in jeopardy. Overzealous
or unwise legislators have drafted a
libel bill, which, If passed, will make
the publication of daily newspaper
hazardous affair. The provisions of
this bill are SO stringent that it would
be impossible to publish an article,
which may possess some uncomplimen-
tary facts, without becoming amena-
BILE to the law. Consequently the
Pennsylvania press is cursing both
loud and deep and the legislators, who
are pushing the measure, are being
pilloried in the public prints. But the
curses are not without cause. The bill
is rankly unjust and smacks strongly
of malice. The great dailies through
out the length and breadth of the land
should use their influence to kill 1t
when 1t is next considered.

FOLEY IS NOT
LOSING HIS GRIP
w. J. Foley Seams TO Have Pol
ItIeai Sltustion at East
Palestine Pretty Well
- Aaod

The following dispatch sent out
from East Palestine indicates that
Mayor w. ]. Foley, who was can
didate for congress on the Democratic
ticket in the Eighteenth district last
fall, is not losing his grip on his own
hailiwick:
"The elections are over and this red
hot bed Of Republicanism is in sack
cloth and ashes, as the present mayor,
who is and always has been Demo-
crat, was reelected as such and noti-
fed the voters that II they voted for
MIN 1t was with the full understand
Ing that he was running as Demo-
crat and II he was elected he would do
everything in his power as the candi-
date Of that party to advance It's inter-
ests as mayor Of the town. Some OF
the party managers were much wor-
ried by the stand taken by the mayor,
but he stood his ground and won out
with an increased majority Of IL votes
over his vote year ago. and this in
face OF the fact that the opposition
was not in the splitting business at
their primaries as they were q year
ago, and had only one candidate be-
fore their primaries to be voted for.
Not only that, but the mayor was
placed on the township ticket as JUS
tics Of the peace in order to fill up the
ticket for the Democrats and came
within "a votes Of election, and he
never asked a man to vote for him
for the position. II this thing keeps
up for an election or two more the
proud boast Of the opposition Of hav-
ing four votes to the Democrats one in
Unity township will have to be revised
to a considerable extent"

Union labor is great trust" says
David M. Parry, president of the Ma
tional Association of Manufacturers.
1T is breeder Of boycotts and knows
only the laws of Huns and Vandals," /"
he exclaims with all the emphasis of
wrath. Mr.. Parry is wrong. He is
bigoted just as some leaders of labor
are bigoted. He is intolerant as some
unionists are intolerant. There is a
middle course for both sides. Unions
go to extremes just as Mr.. Parry and
his association go to extremes. Many
things are done by organized labor
that the better labor element does not
endorse. These things, however, do
not prove that the whole union fabric
is rotten. Mr.. Parry represents the
ultra-radical opponents of trade un-
ionism. Some of his statements are
grossly exaggerated and all his utter
ances are tainted by prejudice and
hatred.

Oprators Get the Lions Share.

When the contract miners struck a
year ego they demanded 60 cents a
ton for mining coal, or an increase Of
20 per cent. over the wages they were
then paid. Under the commissions g
award they will be paid IS cents a ton
for their work when coal is sold to
dealers for $3.50 a ton. When the
price of coal to dealers is $5.25 as at
present, the miners will be paid at the
rate of 63 IA cents ton. That is to
say, when the price of coal advances
rs cents ton beyond the minimum
fixed by the commission in its sliding
scale arrangement the miners get only
8 lac ton in addition to the 10 per
cent. increase awarded by the COM
mission. The other mineworkers
share, Of couse, in the same proportion.
But even with this increase the coal
companies Will get the lions share Of
the profits derived from the advance
in the price of coal. Assuming that
the cost of mining is now 20 cents a
ton more than under the old condi-
tions. the operators are plainly not
justified in adding 80 cents q ton TO
the cost Of coal and appropriating at
least go per cent Of the advance.-Bal-
timore Sun.

1t begins to look as though the press
of Pennsylvania would succeed in put
ting the new libel bill out of commits
sion. The publishers are fired with
righteous indignation and are putting
up fight unprecedented in newspaper
annals. The bill in its last analysis
proves to be nothing more than cloak
for the grafters of the state. Under
its protecting folds they may ply their
nefarious tasks free from the exposure
and arraignment of the press. Ma
turally the unscrupulous politicians
are all urging the passage of the bill,
while the decent public men and the
honest citizenship are up in arms. The
outcome of the fight will be watched
everywhere with the greatest interest.

A LATE REPORT OF :.
AN EARLY AFFAIR.

A rather premature all fools joke
was sprung Tuesday when an alarm of
fire was sent In. People flocl1ed out OF
doors at great rate, thinking perhaps
that another of those dire prophecies
was being fulfilled. but It was only
pile of rubbish in the Third ward.
There is good deal of old wood and
rubbish being burned all over the city
these days, and people should be more
careful about turning in fire alarm
Unfortunately, every time they see
a bonfire. as 1t costs the city at least
$25 every time the department is called
out. = Monroe Commercial.

It is a municipal code fact not COM
monty known even to the politicians
that the Canton board of water works
trustees may hold over until all i'm
provements now under way are COM
pleted. The work at the Union dam
and the connection of the new wells
which is now under way, will not be
finished in less than six months from
date. Until this time the local trus-
tees II they so desire may retain their
Offices to the exclusion OF other per-
sons whom the new mayor may desire
to appoint. Section 215 of the new
code makes provision for this hold
over and the attorney general in an
opinion has already expressed his faith
In the validity of the clause. The Can
ton board of trustees does notIntend
to remain In Office under protest, but
If 1t appears to be the sentiment Of
the city it is willing to postpone its re-
tirement until the improvements are
completed. 1t appears to the News
Democrat that this is the sensible thing
to do. There are no other citizens
who can step into the department and
conduct this special work half SO sat-
isfactorily. The present board has its
plans in operation and to change ad-
ministrations at this time would cer-
tainly be to the detriment and delay
of the improvements. The graceful
thing for the new administration to
do under the circumstances is to for
mally request the present board Of
water works trustees to remain in Of
fee pending the completion of its work.

4, Politics for Keeps.
There is much undeserved abuse OF
the liquor dealers in New
York because OF the activity
in politics. We suspect they
would be very glad to keep out of pol
itics all the time II they could. But
how can they? Every department of
the liquor business, including the dis
tilleries, brewertes, wholesalers, job
bers and retailers, is in national, Dtate
and municipal politics as naturally as
a duck takes to water. The national
government gets immense revenues out
Of this interest State and municipal
governments follow the national exam
pie. AS the nation, the state and the
cities are ruled by parties, 1t follows
that the liquor business in all its
branches is always in politics. WASH
