MUST HAVE RELIEF.
TDOlltyer Herald.

The tendency toward Capitalization
in business continues to advance at an
alarming rate. The rural consumer is
rapidly commencing to feel the infiu-
ence of factor which Is an arbiter Of
price-comblnation and monopoly. In
no field Is it more manifest than in the
price Of coal. Almost anyone of middle
age can remember back fifteen to
twenty years ago when the ordinary
soft coal sold to the consumer at So
and 81 a ton. 1t now commands IS to
So, and this in the face of the econo-
mics introduced that should have low
cred rather than have increased the
price. This is certainly unjust exaction
somewhere between the producer and
the consumer. All parties
deny that they extort unjust profit,
nevertheless ordinary reasoning convin
ces the consumer that he is being held
up" Soft coal at IS ton Is an out
rage pure and simple. While on this
subject it has been suggested that a
state statute be framed giving munic =
|ipal authorities the right to purchase
and store coal and other public me-
cessities, when deemed advisable for
the protection of society at large, and
sell the same to the consumer at an
advanced price sufficient to pay the
expense OF handling such necessaries.

One of the sleuths at once identified the
man as a noted bank robber; the other
inclined to the belief that it was an
equally notorious forger. They finally
agreed that 1t was the bank robber,
whereupon the business man showed
the back OF the photograph, on which
they read the originals name-William

that he had been mistaken for a noted

Roosevelt and the Reporter.


President Roosevelt is regarded as
q ready assistant to newspaper men,
and 1t is no uncommon thing for him
to discuss freely state and political
matters with correspondents. But
there are occasions when his friendli-
ness is put to severe tests. One of these,
says the Philadelphia Saturday Even
ing Post, came soon after the Roose-
welt family settled at Sycamore Hill
last summer, when many greatly ex-
aggerated stories of the exploits of the
Roosevelt children found their way in
to the columns Of the daily press. The
president decided to put an end TO these
stories. and one day summoned cor
respondent who had been active in sup
plying his paper with this class of news.
The president lost no time In stating
the object, of the summons.
II have noticed, Mr.--, that a
great many stories have appeared in
the-- regarding the exploits of
nv children. They have been very
good stories. indeed and assume you

is that they are not strictly accurate.

as the president continued:

THE CHICAGO ELECTION.

terday mayor of Chicago by nearly
1000 plurality over Graeme Stewart,
the republican nominee, If the returns

general interest in the election outside

pointing to the majority of those inter-
ested. 1t was hoped that Stewart might
defeat Mr.. Harrison.

Crime is always organized. It has al
ways the common rallying point of OPP

toward reform made by Il candidate not

nal and semi criminal classes, but sets
their faces hard as flint against his
hopes. While the sillkstocking often
fails to vote for one reason or another,
the sans culotte never forgets. His
vote is always counted and when it is
remembered that in at least one district

in the Illinois legislature the PROPOSE

Governmental supervision and con-
erol Of railroads has not saved Holland
from wide spread strike which is
certain to produce serious Industrial
delay and may lead to annoying polit-
ical complications. The railroads OF
Holland are run on socialistic plan.
More than one-half the railroad mile
age OF the Netherlands is owned by
the government and companies operat-
ing the remainder have contracts with
the government which practically place
them in the same category. The strike
is more political than industrial. It is
not a struggle between labor and cap
itai for the railroads belong to the
public. It is entirely UNIQUE in tina.
1t Is an uprising Of public servants
against the public Of which the strikers
are themselves a part. This strike
seems to have touched the ultimate
point to which labor difficulties may
attain.
This strike has been brewing for
some time. Acting on the indications
OF the previous two months the gov
eminent took legislative steps against
it and bills were introduced in the
legislature of the Netherlands which
provide for the organization OF q body
OF employees ready to take the places of
the strikers at moments warning;
n 1ot, ln1y,
OF a royal commission; and making II
a penal offense for any public SER
want to go on strike. AS these bills
approached enactment the men took
time by the forelock and tied up the
transportation facilities of Holland by
general walk-out. The proposed
legislation practically forced the strike.
Now the government is treating the
movement as an act Of rebellion and
proposes to suppress the strike with the
military. Germany, O. large part of
whose international traffic passes over
Holland railways may consider herself
Justified in intervening to open the
lines IL the Netherlands government is
Slilatory or finds itself unequal to the
task This might mean the absorption
of the Netherlands by Germany.
The conditions are equal to a crisis
political and economic to the Dutch
government and developments will be
watched with intense interest. Phleg-
matte and cautious as the Dutch prov
erbially are, they are descendants of
the men who cut the dikes and flooded
the low country in Its own defense
and this struggle will be carried on to
a finish. AS a test Of socialistic con-
troll Of railroads it has already gone
far enough to seriously discredit the
theories OF governmental ownership of
transportation lines which are held by
o number OF respectable but visionary

NO PHILIPPINE ISSUE.

The presidents Fargo speech wherein
he paid attention to the policy which
the administration has pursued with
eminent success in the Philippines has
brought no storm OF democratic criti-
cism or denial. The thorough redemp-
tion by the Roosevelt administration OF
the pledges made by President McKin-
ley seems to have silenced the guns OF
the democratic press and its independ-
ent annex. The Philippine question will
not be an issue In the next presiden-
tial campaign. In fact there no longer
remains Philippine question. It has
been answered.
The past few months have seen a
great work quietly accomplished in
those Islands. Insurrection has been
suppressed and civil government sue
cessfully inaugurated. Not only this,
but the enlightened classes Of the Fill
p.nos have accepted the new regime not
only with every evidence of pacifica-
tion, but largely with gratitude. The
government provided for the people of
the islands has, as Mckinley predicted,
brought blessings, which will promote
