The continued rise in the price of ice has
frightened New York. There is no real ice famine
as yet, but the heated term is scarcely more than
half over and the likelihood that prices will rise
higher has in certain quarters created real terror
Last winter the socalled ice trust harvested
less than it's usual supply. This natural supply
Is supplanted by machine made ice, but for some
reason this artificial ice represents only five per
cent. OF the summers supply. There were $4,000
tons OF ice available for New York month ago.
This supply if the present heat prevails any con-
siderable proportion of the time, will disappear
by September 10 or-15
Last year ice cost 30 cents per hundred for
small consumers 17h cents for large consumers
This year small consumers are paying 40 cents
ana large consumers IS cents-an increase of
IS IL per cent. for the household and of 100 Der

Naturally there are loud walls

THE PROPAGANDA OF DISARMAMENT.

While preparations are being made for this
grand naval display there are some earnest
statesmen at work spreading propaganda OF
disarmament. Mr.. Burton, of Ohio, forcetul
member of the house, who was largely 1nstru-
the big 10000 ton battleship until congress could
pass the plans, is of the leaders in the
movement to put stop to the building up of the
navies of the world. At the coming session of the
Inter-Parliamentary Union in London Mr.. Bur-
ton expects to exploit practical plan for dis
armament.
Mr. Burton proposes if possible to obtain an
agreement by the representatives of the various
parliaments who will meet in London with the
idea that their recommendation will receive con-
sideration by The Hague conference which fol-

THE WORK OF Mr.. BURTON, or OHIO.

Mr. Theodore E. Burton, the American
statesman, who will advocate disarmament in
London and do all he can to further the PROPOSE
ton at The Hague, has attracted no little atten-
ton to himself by his independence and force.
He is the chairman of the house committee on
rivers and harbors and in that position is a most
conspicuous figure before the public because he
has had the courage to fight some Of the old
low creeks and useless bayous merely because
congressman asked for it. He has evolved a
new system of river and harbor improvement
whereby the most important waterways and har-
bors shall receive the greatest amount of money.
He believes in completing important national
projects before taking up those of a more local
character. ....

RECENTLY in an Eastern city it was discovered
that we'll known and highly respected citizen had
served time in penitentiary in his youth. He
moved in the best society trusted by those with
whom he had business and nothing of derogatory
nature was ever said against him. But since the
gossips spread the of his early downfall, the
majority of his friends thoughtit necessary ignore
his existence.
We do not pose as knowing the proper course to
pursue in case of this kind. But it does seem as

.M0Ilgn17lg Public officials.
AT THE present time public officials, both state
and national, are being subjected to denunciatons
that have no parallel in the history of this country
This state of affairs is becoming menace to the
country It is we'll enough to drag the guilty before
the limelight, but it is national disgrace to speak
of the whole Senate being composed of traitors to
the republic This kind. Of criticism has been going
on for some time, and it spreads the mantle of
honesty over none, no matter how innocent
Congressman Longworth recently remarked that
the attacks public officials have reached the
hystera stage and that it behooved all right minded
men to call halt The papers and magazines are full
of such articles; and the magazine that does not
contain one of these ill-smelng screeds, is
considered dry number. While it is true that a
number of public officials deserving of just crit
cism should remember that the others deserv-
ing of some consideration. But many writer's have
taken advantage of the present chaos and are firing
their broadsides Unfortunately. As consequence,
they respecters of persons and are subecting
our statesmen to type of criticism that is seldom
resorted to when speaking of the inmates of peniten
taries. Just as soon as few of our best citizens
frown upon this practice, the evil will stop.

PANishinS the Innocent.


In A recent interview Governor Folk, of Mis-
souri, expressed the opinion that it injustice
to punish the innocent well as the guilty It is
said that since his Inauguration he has received
$500 petitions for clemency and nearly all of these
received from families who suffering from
want on account of their husbands being in prison.
The governor has investigated most Of these cases
and found that the plea Of abject poverty true.
He remarked that financial condition should
not interfere with the mandate of the law As these
cases contained no other extenuating circumstances,
Mr. Folk has refused to reverse the decisions Of the
lower courts
The remedy for this unfortunate state of affairs,
is to give to the family of the prisoner part of his
earnings. The state receives sixty cents day from
the contractors for each prisoner Mr. Folk intends
to have bill introduced, when the next legislature
convenes that will provide for these innocent suffer.
We believe that the people of the great state of
Missouri will assist the governor in rectifying this
injustice.

The present struggle between the operators and
coal miners is likely to bea protracted and sanguinary
It may also prove the complete disorganization
of the miners union, or its ascendancy in labor
circles. Both sides have had considerable exper-
fence with such affairs, and each is confident that
right must triumph. President Mitchell deplores
the necessity of calling the out, but he could
not avoid the ISSUE Altho he remains reticent there
is every hope to believe that settlement will be
made which will prove satisfactory to both parties
Still, if the fight is maintained for any length

THERE'S arumor among international diplomats
altho the story was denied several times-to the
effect that the Japanese government is preparing to
seize the Philippines by force of arms. This news
was given out by an official who recently returned
from that country, and he vouches for it's accuracy.
This information should be taken with the proven
bal grain of salt It is too absurd to receive serious
attention.
Itislikely that this rumor can be traced to those
who are advocating larger navy. Whether it will
prove eficacious on Congress remains to be seen.
Such rumors have always produced good results to-
ward increasing the naves of Europe; and perhaps,
this pipe dream will arouse the Legislators at Wash
ington toward doing their duty by our navy. It
may be possible that Japan is entertaining such a
desire, and is really gathering the sinews Of

the money being sent from this country to her war
