predicted that the miners will be at

ton by the middle of next week.
There is a general understanding
that the differences between the op-
orators and workers will be taken up
and disposed of, but should there be
any difficulty in reaching an agree
ment of the matters at issue it il un-
derstood that this will have no effect
upon the work to follow the confer

likely be determined by arbitration /,
1t is said that both sides have now
practically agreed to this. There is
every reason to believe that the end

in sight and the tension and the feel
ing Of uncertainty of the outcome
with which the present situation has
been marked is at an end.

So handy with his pen,

And killed a thousand men.
And when he saw what he had done,
With all his might and mains
He grabbed another's pen and wrote

There was another yellow cuss
Who smacked his eager lips,
While with his old typewriter he
Sank thirty battleships.
And when he saw the boats go down

He got his old machine once more
And wrote them up" again.

The Country Editor.
From the Muncie Times.

From the Muncle lines
The old idea of the country editor was
that he was sort of public mendlcant,
eking out precarous existence through
the good-natured tolerance of the commu-
nifty. If there was ever Justification for
that kind of conception of the local news
paper business 1t has long since passed
away. 1t is doubtful if any single business
or profession in Indiana could have mus
tered a gathering of more representative
intelligent. prosperous-looking business
men than assembled at Indianapolis re-
Gently on the occasion of the annual con-
vention of the Indiana Republican Editorial
Association. The country newspaper not
only stands on It's own bottom as CONNER
cial enterprise in these days rendering to
the community in which it is published vast
ly greater service than it ever expects to
be paid for, but the editors and publishers
of these papers exercise a greater influence
upon the life and the tendencies OF the
state than any other body of men of similar
size engaged in a single line OF endeaVor
in Indiana. The man who belittles the in
huence of the conscientiously conducted
newspaper in these times is engaged in
employment about as intelligent as that of
irving to snub a cyclone.
