TROUBLE IN COAL FIELDS.

In speaking of the threatened coal
strike the Philadelphia Public Ledg-
er, that fairest of all fair newspapers,
says:
''If there was one lesson which the
people of this country should have
learned from the bitter experiences of
the anthracite coal strike Of 1902, it
was the necessity of finding some
means of putting it beyond the power
of any set of men. whether d trades
union or a combination of mine own
ers and railway managers, TO cut off
The fuel supplies from The homes and
factories of the land. Thai the lesson
was not learned is only 100 evident
from the present talk in coal trade
circles of a general cessation OF obrr-
ations on the termination of the
agreements under which the coal
mining Of this country-bituminous
as well as anthracite-is now being
conducted.
The Ledger goes directly to the
rH~
truth of the whole matter. The sub
ject of wages, hours, and output may
be a subject which concerns only the
mine owners and the miners and
there is no objection to them setting
their disputes in any way they choose
as long as peace is preserved and the
rest of the nation is not made to suf-
fer. To shut off the supply of coal,
however. strikes not only at the pros
perity of the country, but goes di-
rectly into the homes of every man.

A GOOD PROPOSITION.

The freeholders have a good prop
osition to propose at the hearing on
the bridge matter to be held in New
York. Just why the war department
should approve plans, allow the coun
ty to spend its money and then de-
clare that the whole thing must be
done over, is hard to understand The
South Amboy Citizen states it pretty
pointedly when it says:
Last winter the ice gave the new
Amboy bridge a hard knock, but this
winter it is an unseen hand through
the war department that is rapping
it,"
Just who this unseen hand" be
longs to should be learned and, ii the
war department insists upon a recon
struction of the bridge this unseen
hand should be made to go down
deep into its owners pocket and
bring up a large share of the addi-
tional cost. An investigation, that
will be an investigation, is what is.
needed in the bridge scandal. In the
meantime let us have the bridge OPP
ened for traffic as it is.

influence at work for the press and
people of the state, by a large major

been from the brewers. The law

The Department of Agricul-
ture has assigned E. w. Sheets,
expert road builder, to build an
object lesson good road for Lafa-
yette parish, and Mr.. Sheets
accompanied by Civil Engineer f.
Mcclure, is here and will begin
construction as soon as funds
are provided for payment for
material and ordinary labor.
The services of Messrs. Sheets
and Mcclure will not cost the
parish one cent, nor will the
services of any other govern.
ment employees who may be
detailed to assist in the work.
The amount of road that will be
built and the kind depend upon
the funds furnished for the
purpose. The funds should not
be lacking.
This is a case where spending
money means saving money.
Our roads are charge upon us
every year. certain part of the
parish revenues must be applied
to their repair, and therefore
any instruction that will enable
US to spend this money so that
the largest results may be OBJ
tanned is we'll worth while for us
to seek, because knowing how
to make the best roads possible
out of the material at hand,
means better roads for longer
time and less money for repair:
it means less wear on vehicles
and strain on teams and more
saving in shop bills and corn
bills; it means more convenience
for the country people and more
trade for the town. and last, it
means that good roads will get to
be better roads and finally in the
course of time to be the best
roads.

At the conclusion of the pro-

missed and the parents meeting
proper began. Mr.. Avery ex-
planned the purpose of the meet
ing and urged the great i'm.
portance of cooperation between
parents and teachers, stating
that this could be materially
promoted by such meetings as
they were having then where
understandings could be reached
through questions and discus
sion. His talk was very much
enjoyed.
Supt. Alleman followed with a
few, but appropriate remarks,
after which Mr.. Avery called
upon the parents for expressions
as to matters which they might
desire to know more about or to
present complaints if any ex-
listed.
Mr.. Darby called attention to
the fact that owing to there be-
ing no shelter for horses, in bad
weather necessarily. some chill:
dren were forced to remain at
home, which brought out the
unanimous opinion that as soon
as possible the School Board or
the patrons of the schools should
build shelters for horses.
Mr.. Foote, assistant principal,
presented the dollar and cent
view of the value of education,
quoting figures to show the
earning capacity per year of the
uneducated. those having passed
the grammar school. the high
school and the college, upon
which he urged the practical
benefit to the child to insist upon
regular attendance at school.
Miss Robbie Faulk one of the
grade teachers, also made an
interesting talk, which was in
teresting and much appreciated,
as to attendance.
Other parents meetings will
be held during the year and it is
hoped that more parents will be
present each time to enjoy a.
pleasant hour with the children
and teachers.
