Mine owners on Sunday afternoon opened nego-
tiations with strike leaders. and to-day all over

pIoyers and miners are going on. but seemingly
without favorable result. as late kilograms from

the grounds of the strike and supply the Min

Emperor and the government were anxious to
settle the strike They aver that the strike
only be settled by Justice The Socialists con-
troll the miners action

have never read Charles Wagner's book. but
should like 10 protest agaiHst the idea OF simplicity
which your correspondent inquirer seems TO en-
tertain. namely, that it is synonymous with bare
ness. This idea Is very common one and a very
old one. L is also most perncious and has worked
incalculable harm.
The Puritans thought doubtless that they were
pursuing simplicity when they forsoOk their beau
tifuI churches TO worship in barns. and many ex-
csllent people think the same thing to-day when
they strip their lives of many things that give
dignity and beauty TO human existence
This assuredly, is not sirnplicity-simplcity must
be truth. and truth is beauty
I getting rather tired OF the word simple.
but it is perhaps good anything for the
purpose for which Wagner employed IL. The
simple life might be defined perhaps. life in
accordance with reason. The trouble with this
generation and with all preceding ones doubtless
is that it has mistaken the means for the end the
material basis of life for the life itself Because
material things are necessary our life We have

Grateful RELIES

A Virginia member who had a share in the coal

things I tell them it is a Sunshine Santa Claus
