in bringing the two sides to the con
troversy together.
Yields q Great Power.

Few people understand what an i'm
mense power is welded by the Presi-
dent of the United States when that
office is filled by a man OF good judg-
ment. The President, by issuing an
invitation to the men on both sides of
the coal controversy under the circum-
stances that existed three years ago,
practically forced them to agree to an
arbitration of their differences, be-
cause. had either party to that contro-
VerSy declined to enter the agreement,
it would have so fully lost public SYM
patty as to have been eventually driv-
en- to surrender wholly to its opponent
In that case the power behind the
President was the power Of public
opinion. Not only is public opinion
when focused by so skillful q hand
as that Of President Roosevelt, capa-
bic of forcing arbitration, but it is a
satisfactory guarantee that the agree
mcnt when made will be kept faith
fully by both sides to the controversy.
More Drastic Measures in Reserve.
But while the Office of the prcsi-
dent, with all its effective although
indefinite power to force compliance
| was used in that case, it is a well
| known fact that the President was
considering other means for forcing
an arbitration, had the mine opera
| tors declined to agree to lay their
differences before a board of arbitra-
ton. The President not only has we'll
defined powers that are constantly ex-
ercised, and with which the people are
| fully acquainted, but he has other still
more important powers which he can
exercise at his discretion in cases of
great emergency, and which it was I'M
dcrStood at the time of the great an
| thracitc coal strike he considered
using in order to bring relief to the
sLivcrng multitudcS of the land. He
may do many things for the public
good" That is an indefinite term
allowing wide Interpretation, but
! there are many people who believe
that had the coal strike of 1902 cOntln-
ued little longer the President would
have declared martial law i'll the
anthracite regions, and not only would
/ have thrown troops into that section
/ but would have ordered the mining of
the coal and its distribution to relieve
the distress of the country.
But, according TO assurances that
have been given to the public, the
country is safe from Il coal famine, at
least until April LIST, 1906 Then there
Will be another meeting between the
miners and the coal operators and the
miners will demand both an eight
hour day and the recognition of their
union. The recognition of their union
will be resisted by the mine owners
to the last, and while it seems but a
sentimental issue it will be insisted
upon by the miners, and it may event.

carry 1900 steerage passengers, but
she has also provision for passengers
who have little money to spend. One
of her Imperial" suites for a voyage,
affording accommodation for six peo>
pie, can be secured for $2,500 or an
average Of about $50 u day for each
person.
One of the novelties of the Amerika
is the electric passenger elevator which
whisks the passengers up and down be-
tween the five decks of the ship. A
Marconi wireless telegraph apparatus
found on the Amerika has now become
an established feature of all large mod
ern vessels.
The Amerika, while not designed, it
is stated, to be a record-breaker in
speed, is driven by quadruple expan.
sion engines of over $4,000 horse power
and is scheduled to make the trip
across in seven days.

tempted to speak at a temperance con-
vention recalls to mind the old story
of Lucy Stone, of Massachusetts, a
pioneer suffragist, who, after her grad
uation at Oberlin, Ohio (the only col
lege admitting women at that time),
desired to speak in one of the Mass
achusetts churches. The announcement
of the address was made by the min
lister of the church in the following
words:
"a hen wishes to crow like n rooster in
this church on Thursday evening. Any
body liking that kind of music is in
Vited to attend"
1t seems almost incredible in these
days that time was, and only half a
century ago, too, when woman's activ-
ity was limited to so small a circle.
AS a means of livelihood she had but
three vocations from which to choose:
homework, sewing and teaching; and
all poorly paid, at that. Marriage was
supposed to be the chief end and aim
of her existence. This state she sought,
sometimes as refuge from greater
ills. A girl single at % or % was con-
sidered an odd maid" No woman,
except among the Society of Friends,
could be ordained to preach the gospel

Only the hardest dared face the dis,
approval of the public Of that day.
But now the army Of stenographers,
clelks, physicians, preachers, social
workers and business women attest the
wonderful change in her status. To-
day, given capacity. training and perse-
verance, there are few. if any, avenues
of legitimate endeayOr closed to woman
If now and then few oyerstep the
bounds of discretion and good taste,
and thereby call down the censure of

1t is evident, however, that the
Duchess sympathies go out to the
workers and the work along all the
lines Of betterment for women. She
calls attention TO the various associa-

sixty years.

"These were the beginnings of the
activity of women in public movements,
involving social reform, which now are
having their full development in all
lines of endeavor. When one reflects
that the hardships faced by women
speakers in those days ranged from hos
tile and rude Interruptions to measures
of even more active discomfort and I'M

that they have persevered in their eff

denounce the preacher TO the neighbor

Coffee Acts the Jonah and Will Come Up
a clergyman who pursues his noble
calling in country parish i'll Iowa,
tells OF his coffee experience:
My wife and l used coffee regularly
for breakfast, frequently for dinner
and occasionally for supper-always
the very best quality-package coffee
never could find place on our table.
"ln the spring OF 1855 my wife was
taken with violent vomiting which we
had great difficulty in stopping
at seemed to come from coffee
drinking, but we could not decide.
"In the following July. however, she
was attacked second time by the
vomiting. was away from home fill
ing an appointment at the time. and
on my return l found her very low;
she had literally vomited herself al
most to death. and it took some days
to quiet the trouble and restnre her
stomach.
II had also experienced the same
trouble. but not so violently, and had
relieved it, each time, by a resort to
medicine.
But my wife's second attack salts
fed me that the use of coffee was at
the bottom of our troubles. and so we
stopped it forthwith and took on Pos
tum Food Coffee. The old symptoms
of disease disappeared and during the
nine years that we have been using
Postum instead of coffee we have
never had recurrence of the vomit-
ing. We never weary of Postum. to
which we know we owe our good
health. This is simple statement Of
