DON'T HUNT A FIGHT

The Illinois coal miners union has
appropriated considerable sum to be
use in defending the officials Of the
Western Federation of Miners, who
are charged with the assassination Of
former Governor Steunenberg of Ida
no. This is move that had better
been left undone. Labor unions like
political parties, are largely dependent
for their success upon public opinion,
and public opinion is against the wes-
tern men on whose shoulders falls the
task of proving themselves guiltless
of many murders Colorado has, dur
ing the last few years, been the hot
bed of an anti-union war in which vio-
lence has been used on both sides. The
officers Of the Western Federation Of
Miners has been accused of several
heinous crimes and some of the &C.
cusation have been pretty well found
ed. That organization is not the same
as the United Mine Workers of Amer
lea, of which the Illinois union is a
part, and the Illinois men have no call
to appropriate money for the defense
of the prisoners.
The evidence against the men &C.
cused of the murder of the forme"
governor of Idaho is, according to I'LL
accounts, very strong. If they are
convicted public opinion will surely be
against them even more than in the
present case, and if they are freed the
feeling now existing against them will
not be in the least diminished
So 1t looks as If the Illinois miners
were simply getting into fight IL
which they have no place, and are bor-
rowing trouble. They are practically
endorsing all that the officers of the
Western Federation Of Miners have
done, and they admit enough to turn
law abiding people against them

A MARK OF FRIENDSHIP.

Germany's action in the - ter of
the tariff is very gratifying to An.eri-
cans and the fact that the kaiser's gov
eminent has receded from its threat
ened inauguration Of tariff war
against the United States is significant.
Only few days ago, almost at the
final moment, Ambassador Won Stern
berg notified Secretary Root that Amer
lea will be accorded the conventional
and not the maximum rate on imports,
"as mark of friendship" The tariff
war was to have begun March l. and
Germ any waited with waning hope that
this government would back down.
Instead of showing signs Of weakening,
however, our attitude became more de-
fiant because of resolution now pend
ing in congress providing for an in
crease of twenty-five per cent on i'm
port duties Of any nation discrimin-
ating against the United States. APP
parently this counter move was entire
ly unlocked for in Germany and 1t
brought quick capitulation.
Germany's entire tariff policy during
the past few years has brought about
only series of disasters. Yielding to
the agrarian demands, the German gov
eminent placed such restrictions and
additional duties on the Importation Of
American foodstuffs as almost to par
alyze trade in this direction. AS a con-
sequence the great mass of Industrial
Germany was compelled to pay exor-
bitant rates for meats and bread sup
plies. A great protest was made, but
to all the outcries the German farmers
said: "Wait little while until we can
supply our country and then prices will
drop ana Germany will be supplied
with German meats and bread in
abundance" Industrial Germany wait
ed, but the promised increase in sup
plies and decrease in prices failed to
materialize Then came the demand

John d. Rockefeller has been found
at last, and, strange to say, he was
just where he ought to have been at
his office. Subpoena servers and 9TH
ers who have sought him for weeks
have had some interesting and pleas
ant experiences, no doubt, but it re-
NAMED for him to find himself. No one
else could do it. The reason? He is
fat OF course no one would expect to
find him in that condition, but he de-
clares he has put on flesh laughing at
the failures of his pursuers to locate
him.

OUR CLOUD BREAKERS.

New York sun.-Henry Gannett,
the geographer of the geological sur
vey. in his revised book Of attitudes
gives the height of Mount Washing
ton as 6,279 feet. In the almanacs 1t
Is sometimes given as 6,286 feet. Mr..
Gannett must be accepted as the court
of last resort. There will be some
surprises for the mountaineers In his
revised tables. Dickerman, In Wash
1Egton, now looms I'm as the highest
altitude in the state, 1876 feet over
topping Whitney in California (14,502)
by 1884 feet. Shasta's height is given
as 1880 feet and Rainier's (Washing-
ton) as 14,363. The people Of Tacoma
have always claimed that Rainier was
higher than Shasta, and they won't
forgive Mr.. Gannett for deciding In
favor of Shasta by seventeen feet.
Oregon is out Of the race, Mount Hood
having declined from 1882, the old
measurement, to 1925. California
alone has twelve peaks over $4,000
feet, twenty-three over $4,000 and
fifty-fiye over 10000.
When 1t comes to the greatest av-
GRACE Of heights there is no state to
compare with Colorado. She can claim
4e7 peaks Of an altitude of more than
10000 feet, 3s5 of more than 1900
feet, 233 Of more than 10000, 149 OF
more than 10000 and SO OF more than
10000 Her highest mountain Is Mas
sive, 14,424 feet, but Ebert Is almost
tie, with 14,421. New Haven Will b..
chagrined to learn that Mr.. Gannett
gives Harvard 14,375 feet and Yale IA
lS7. Princeton exceeds Yale by only
nine feet. Famous Pixies Peak is
twenty-f1rst on the list, with 14,10s
feet

Francisco, near the Grand canyon, but
It stops just short Of $4,000 feet, being

state is the summit Of Electric peak,

Robert Muldrow was sent to Alaska
by the geographical survey to measure
Mckinley, and he made It's height 20,-
4e4 feet No human being, however,
has stood upon the snow clad ern1n-
ence Of Mckinley, which is a harder
problem for the mountaineer than
Everest, because there are 1000 more
feet Of snow to be assembled. An at
tempt to reach the summit would be
attended with great peril and hard
ship-peril from avalanches and
crevasses, hardship from severe cold
It may be doubted whether the human
frame could stand the low tempera-
ture that must obtain at q height OF

Besides Mckinley there are four
mountains in Alaska that exceed Dick
erman in height; st. Elias, 1904 feet;
Blackburn, 1910; Crilion, 1890, and
Vancouver, 1866. Mr. Gannett thinks

Ottumwa and the entire middle west
are directly interested in the American
and German tariff tiff. AS the contro-
versy conferred about meat and flour
products, the grain and packing inter-
ests would have suffered severely in
the event that an end had not come
to the negotiations favorable to this
country. Germany simply cannot af-
ford to shut American products out by
eaorbitant tariffs, as American goods
are absolutely needed to feed Its peo-
pie. German people have learned to
eat meat, and, having acquired the
taste, they do not propose to go hun
cry in order to pamper one class of
their citizens.
