. Some one has figured out that a
change of 1850 votes in the late
election, properly distributed, would
have given the democrats the control
of the national house Of representa-
tives. In more than thirty congress
sional districts. republican candidates
were elected by less than $50 votes.
A democratic house and republican
senate, or vice versa, has always
resulted in a do-nothing policy, and
has been bad for the country, not
understanding that in theory such a
state of affairs is considered ideal.
1t has been found best to let one
party have the responsibility, and to
take the credit or blame. The
country did not realize how near it
came to letting the democratic party
write the history OF this country dur
ing the next two years. The respon-
sibillty Of each individual voter is
thus manifest. Such thing might
happen that the governmental policy
of this nation depended on one vote,

MINERS LEADERS,
Must STAND TR|A!
FEDERAL SUPREME COURT DE-
c'DEs AeAIhsT MoYkR, HAY i
WOOD AND PETTlDoNE,
REFUSAL OF HA1EAS., ...
=. CORPUS IS UPHELD
Manner in Which Idaho Authorities
Secured Jurisdiction Over Defend
ants Charged with Murder Only
Phase Of Gaze Involved.

Washington, Dec. THE supreme
court Of the United States Monday de-
cided the habeas corpus cases of
Meyer, Haywood and Pettibone, the
representatives of the Western FEEDER
alton of Miners, who are now held in
prison in Idaho on the charge of com
plicity in the murder of former Gov.
Steunenberg, adversely to the men.
The opinion was by Justice Harlan.
The effect of the decision will be to
continue to hold the men in confine.
ment for trial in Idaho.
Of the men involved Charles H.
Meyer is president, w. D. Haywood
secretary-treasurer and George A. Pet
tibone member of the Western Fed.
Grafton of Miners. They are now in
prison in Canon county, Idaho, under a
charge of numbering former Governor
Stuenenberg of that state, although it
was not charged that they were pres.
ent when the crime was committed.
The cases came to this court on an ap-
peal from decision of the Idaho fed
eral court refusing to grant writs of
habeas corpus. The principal point of
controversy was the method by which
the Idaho authorities secured jurisdic.
ton over the men. All of them are
residents of Colorado, and it was al
legged on behalf of Meyer and his asso
ciates that they were kidnapped in
pursuance of conspiracy to which the
Governor of Colorado and the Idaho
authorities were parties and hence
that jurisdiction was acquired by
fraud
Justice Harlan said that in the
habeas corpus proceedings in the
United States courts the method of ex-
tradition of the defendants was not
material The merits of the cases
we're not involved as that phase was
not presented. The only question there
involved was the right Of the state
court to proceed with the cases of
which there could be no doubt.
Justice McKenna delivered dis
senting opinion, holding that Meyer,
Haywood and Pettibone had right to
invoke the aid of the federal courts
to correct improper methods used in
securing their extradition. He said
that kidnapping under the law is NO
more to be justified than when per-
formed outside the law, where every
effort of authority is used to prevent
and punish it.

Most people take things lightly at

young man found himself engaged to

during the past summer.
One day he was seated, half doing,

l:ss'e hands were clasped tightly over
his eyes, and sweet voice whispered.
Guess Who?'
Was il Clara Or Man. Should he
say one of the names and chance it?
These thoughts were flashing through
his brain, when an inspiration struck
him.
"It's the dearest, sweetest, prettiest
little girl in all the world" he said.
ooh, you dear old Jack ooy!" she
whispered, satisfied and delighted, and
the hands dropped from his eyes to
his shoulders. 49,

Canadians Preparing to Use It AZ
Substitute for Coal.

The first commercially practicable
method Of preparing peat for CONNER
cial purposes is described by Aubrey
Fullerton in the Technical World
magazine. In his article, entitled,
"Eurrying Up the Coal Mines" he
tells of the efforts of fuel men of the
United States, and particularly of Can
ada, to break away from their depend
ence upcn the limited sections that
now control their coal supply. In the
advent of a new coal strike in the IN
thracite fields, something must be
found which will take the place Of
Pennsylvania or Nova Scotia coal, and
while the mine operators are hurrying
their collieries in order to lay up a
supply Of coal in advance of the COM
ing winter demand, experiments are
being made in Canada which promise
to develop the first commercially prac-
ticable method of treating peat so as
to put it on the market at price
which will make it a competitor of an
thracite coal. '.t ~. 81.
The rock upon which all former
tests have foundered is in extracting
the last 10 per cent. of water from the
peat after it is taken from the bog
! The new process, as described by Mr.
Fullerton, solves this difficulty in a
way which is so simple and inexpen
sive as to reduce the cost Of the dry
ing part of the operation to about one
dollar a ton.
! The northern states of the unior
| and most of the provinces of the do
minion have extensive peat-bog lands
and the placing of peat upon the mar
ket in large quantities promises to de
stroy the economic anomaly Of tw.
countries dependent upon one kind Q
