The situation in the strike at the
Sherrard mines remains unchanged
and no action has been taken by either
side as yet in the matter toward set
Element.
Tomorrow there Will be meeting of
the Illinois Coal Operators association
at Springfield. and if the association
does not receive notice from the hoist
ing engineers before Tuesday. all of
the 24O mines controlled by the assO-
citation will be closed. The mines are
to be closed. and the places of the en-
gineers Will be taken by imported men,
the operators claiming that they Will
be able TO have the mines in opera
ton within two weeks. II is stated the
engineers have refused to arbitrate.
and every proposition made by the
operators has been rejected.
The situation at Sherrard will prob
ably not be altered until after the
meeting AT Springfield and the action
of the association is made known. If
the operators decide to close the
mines. the Sherrard mines. along with
the others. Will be opened with i'm
ported men. The engineers have ask
ed the operators 10 renew their old
contract. but The operators insist on a
reduction of $50 per cent. in proper

wages of the other employees Of the
mines.
If the Operators association de
cides to close the mines. il will mean

Of religion it might be suggested that

sition as n Sunday school teacher. For

The following is the statement made
by a fulI-blOod who is well posted on
Indian affairs. Government safeguards
have been the bane of the Indian. In
stead of being taught to rely upon him
self he has been encouraged TO be de
pendent. The government should have
pushed him off to his own resources
long ago. as the COW does calf when
IL is old enough to rustic for itself.
The government should have given the
Indian 100 acres. together with mule
and pillow. in the beginning and en-
joined him to root, hog. or die Turn
him loose; let him go and work out his
own salvation. Sentiment and mis-
guided philanthropy will never save
him. He must save himself

The Trust Menace.

In the seventh count of the late Sen
atOr Hoar's indictment against the
trusts they were charged with the
power TO corrupt elections.
If Senator Hoar were alive he could
amend and enlarge this charge. He
would find ground for the charge that
with the money which they supply for
corruption of elections they purchase
the control of an administration. If
this is not the meaning of the contri
buttons squeezed out of the trusts by
Mr.. Cortelyou, who is armed with
their business secrets, forced out OF
them under authority of the law when
he was at the head of the department
of commerce. there is no significance
in any political action of a campaign
manager.
The CortelyOu scandal is appalling
it is a warning of what must come out
of the partnership of the government
with powerful interests enjoying gov
ernmental privileges.-St. Louis Post
