MINERS TROUBLE
REACHES A CLIMAX AFTER YEARS
OF SLOW DEVELOPMENT
a Settlement Happily Effected in the
Case of Henry Story in Time to
Avert Serious Misfortune.

II all the troubles of the coal miners
could be adjusted as satisfactorily as
that which for many months disturbed
the happiness of Mr.. Henry Story, OF
532 Muskingum avenue. GAINESVILLE,
Ohio, it would be a most welcome re
lief for both the men and their fttni-
lies.
The miners form large and impor-
tant part OF our population, and they
will be greatly Interested in the solu>
ton which Mr.. Story found for dif-
1iculty in which any one of them may
find himself at any moment. as 1t is u
frequent incident in the miners oceu-
patton and serious hinurance to his
success.
The facts in the case were related by
Mrs. Story, who Was deeply concerned,
and who is a very happy woman TO-DAY
because her husband has had such q
fortunate escape from the calamity
that threatened him.
MY husband, says Mrs. Story, IS
very hard working man ana mas al

he could hardly stand: his back hurt,

as grew on the soil of Iowa and that's

partisanship. that as g local writer in
the Grinnell Herald he everlastingly
pounded the few faithful democrats

And again, as editor of a Minneapolis

writings, the most severe criticism of
the democratic readers of the paper.
He was a republican first last ami

today there is an editor of world wide

a TYPE THE WEST DOES NOT NEED.

With Booker r. Washington advls-
ing the negroes in the cities to go to
the country and work on farms ana
with eastern cities begging for bureaus
at ports of entry to induce Immigrants
to go west it would seem that the farm
labor problem should soon settle itself
in the south and west. There is room
on the western farms for thousands of
farm laborers of the right sort. There
is no room left in the east for the
steady influx Of foreigners which Is
filling the cities with laborers from the
south Of Europe. In fact a serious
problem confronts the New England
states thru the new conditions of i'm
migration. The character OF the immi-
grants has changed within the past
few years and instead of the sturdy
and self-helpful north European types
the country is being flooded with 1tal-
ians, Sicilians. Greeks, Turks, Portu>
guese, Autro- Hungarians and Polacks
During ten months of 1903 60 per cent
of the immigration to this country
came from Italy, Austria Hungary and
immigration of 1898. OF those over
IL years of age in last years imnigra-
ton, 2S.7 per cent were illiterate. The
southern italians We're more than half
illiterate The others are of similar
stripe, uneducated, superstitious and
utterly unfit for American citizenship.
They must be made over and this takes
at least a generation.
The west does not need or want
these immigrants. The western farm
er will not employ them except possi-
bly, under pressure and for a short
time. The western farm hand is, and
must always be on the smaller farms
in some degree member of the fam
lily. His intelligent respectability
makes the demand for him strong. To
bring the average Polack or Italian
Immigrant into his home to eat with
his family is something scarcely to be
considered by the western farmer. He
needs help, but not the character or
help that the present immigration fur
nishes
The eastern states are now paying
the penalty for the law defying con.
tracts which brought Polish miners
and Hungarian factory hands to take
low wages. The Pennsylvania mines
imported thousands of these men. some
under actual contract. some under con-
tracts implied Every one of these has
been an immigration agent. He has
spread the news of the new country
when wages were good and beer cheap.
This immigration influence is like a
rolling SNOWFALL and gathers weigh,
and momentum as ii runs.
The east must assimilate it's own OBJ
jectionable immigrants. The west does
not want them. What the west does
want is more of the sturdy, self help
full north Europeans - Norwegians.
Swedes, Danes and Germans-wht,
have helped make her prairies into
farms.

GOLD PRODUCTION.

1t is officially stated that at the beginning of the
at large, in the form Of money, amounted to five
and half billion dollars, gain of one billion and
a half dollars since January l, 1896. In the same
period the monetary stock of gold in the United
States is estimated to have increased from six hun
dred million dollars to over thirteen hundred mil
lion dollars Nearly onehaf of the worlds increase
in monetary gold in the eight years in question
stands to the credit of the United States.
One of the perplexing things about the produc-
ton Of gold is the question Of what becomes of the
entire output from the mines. For example, it is
calculated that during the last two decades the
worlds production of gold amounted to So $780,
100000 Statisticians assume that during this
period $70,0000O0 Of gold on the average has been
annually used in the arts-a sum that would amount
to 81 ,40O00O,00O for the two decades in question.
This, seemingly, would show that $2,350,000000 had
gone into the form Of money. According to recent
statements however, the increase in gold coinage
for the period mentioned was only about $780,
0OO,00O-or approximately $850,000,0O0 less than
the amount that it is estimated was coined into
money. Where has the rest Of this gold goneY Or
statisticians made bad guess as to the quantity
of gold that is annually used in the artist
Certain it is at any rate, that statements as to
the amount Of monetary gold in existence consist
largely Of conjecture. That a considerable amount

THE PROFANITY HABIT.

The profanity habit common enough, and more
than enough almost everywhere, is quite too preva-
lent in Astoria. Swearing is peculiar thing. If
you don't swear, you are likely to be considered a
cad; if you do swear, you become, in the eyes of
church people and ministers, at least reprobate of
darkest stain, So much for profanity proper But
as to the use of obscene language-that is quite a
different thing No man who uses such filthy terms
as are commonly heard on the streets of Astoria is
deserving of respect. Such language has little ex-
cuse for existence In most eases is used to no pur-
pose, with no meaning.
The cigar store is the natural loating place of
men and boys, and Astoria cigar stores are not
ceptiona 1t is in the fact that the stores are open
to the street that there lies, however, the principal
affinity of cigar stores and the use of profane and
obscene language The conversation of those in the
cigar stors is plainly audible to people on the street
Women, on shopping tours, are compelled to pass
these loafng places every day. They overhear what
is being said, whether or not they wish to. And
it is safe to say that if woman walked by 10 cigar
stores in the course of STROLL she would be com.
PEELED to hear, issuing from 10 Of them, language
that none should use.
This is an insult to womanhood, Standing at the
counters, with their backs to the street. do not

the nature of threat but the circumstances Justify
it. Portland does not own all of Oregon, and the
people never intended that incompetent men should
be given custody of their funds To waste this
money is dsgraceful and it is indeed time the com

of such gold is annually lost, in one way and an
other is beyond doubt Probably not much Of it is
buried as was the case in former generations but
nquestionably no little proportion of it takes the
form of tokens, ornaments and the like, and thus
disappears from circulation Such dispositions Of
gold coin make it extremely difficult to estimate with
any measure of accuracy the amount of gold coin
that may be in actual circulation or available for
circulation.
The amount of gold coinage has increased SO
rapidly in recent years, however, that diversion
of comparatively small part of it, either by loss
through fire. flood or shpwreck, can have little eff.
feet on the value of the remaining mass. This is
shown by the fact that the closing Of the prolific
South African mines during the Boer war appears
not to have enhanced the value of the yellow metal
and now that those mines are again in
operation there is still less danger of an effect of this
kind,

MAYOR WILLIAMS AWAKENS.

Mayor Williams, of Portland, has evidently at
by his friends in the past, The venerable mayor
has put his foot down upon this sort of business and
in vetong the poolroom ordinance has thrown a
bomb into the camp of those who supposedly be-
heved they had the mayor under their political
thumbs
In June of this year poolrooms were closed at
Portland by ordinance. In October the council pass
ed an ordinance reopening them This ordinance
was submitted to Mayor Williams, who very properly
and promptly returned it without his approval. 1t
is not so much question of the moral ACCESSIBILITY
of permitting poolrooms to be operated one of the
council pervertng itself to suit the convenience of
political manipulators. The idea that poolrooms
should have been closed by the council in June and
that the selfsame council should have determined to
reopen them in October is painfully significant that
all is not as it should be- and Mayor Williams will
strengthen public confidence in thus turning down
his erratic advisers.
Slowly, but surely, to 60 into the matter, gam

older communities of the country it has proved it.
self to be great curse that it is longer coun.
tenanced. In the west the sentiment against it is
latent Westerners are slow to reform but even they
are banishing the evil. Portland took very long
step in the right direction when it closed the vicious
slot machine, which is perhaps the most perncious
of all gambling evils. Portlands example has had
its influence, and many other Oregon towns have
likewise banished the device 1t has been said that
slot machines would soon again be permitted in
Portland but Mayor Williams stand on the pool
room proposition indicates determination on his
part to do what is right.
Perhaps the most significant statement contained
in the mayor veto is his declaration that the plea
for licensing poorooms on the ground that the city
needs the money is absurd. The mayor very prop
ery concludes that the city must look for its money
to legitimate sources, which is sample of munich
pal logic that will appeal to all right-thinking per-
sons. For many months schemers have made the
mayor of Portland somewhat ridiculous but Mr..
Williams has now declared himself.
The experience through which Portland is now
passing may we'll be observed by other Oregon cities
for it is one through which all must pass very
shortly.

A HEAD END COLLISION.
Many People Injured in a Wreck on
the Missouri Pacific in Kansas.

KANSAS CITY, June 4.-August
Blooma, of Clear Lake, S. D., was kill
ed and 10 people injured in a head-on
collision of two Missouri Pacific pas
senger trains near Mastin, Kas., last
night. The colliding trains were the
west bound Colorado flyer and a east
bound accommodation, both behind
time and running fast The engines
and three cars We're demolished and
both trains We're derailed. The pas
sengers were hurled about by the in
pact, but strangely none was fatally
hurt. BlOoma was riding the blind
baggage. The injured We're brought
here this morning The flyer was to
meet the accommodation train at Mas
tin, but apparently the conductor over
looked his orders.
Among the injured are Irene and
Louis Palmer, of Los Angeles, whose
heads are bruised; Mrs. Mary Burn
side of Portland, Or, knee bruised; !;
and William Nichols of Fort Douglas,
Utah, slightly injured.
