Hughes.

Charles E. Hughes as associate counsel in
the investigation Of the transportation and
sale of coal in interstate commerce should
do the government important service. The
matter is of great public interest, and the
ability of Mr.. Hughes to handle it is safely
to be assumed. He comes to the task fresh
from q triumph which has secured him ma
tional applause and from which the public
is already largely the gamer The public is
quite as curious about the coal question as

it was discovered that certain officials OF
insurance companies had been feathering

Labor In Politics

The press, In the main. approves OF the
determination OF organized labor to go into
politics for the advancement of its inter-

ment of the officers OF the law Both hides
are responsible for the conditions. and It
win not do for the nation to stand idly by
when such crises are periodically precipi-
tated and permit the continuance of the
conflicts which make for such heavy losses
to the people
What can be done? Some people suggest
state ownership. which arouses great OPP
position on the part of those anti-sociaI-
lists who fear an extension of even a slight
application of this principle. Others have
for many years been urging the adoption
of a compulsory arbitration system which
will prevent these occasional conflicts and
deadlocks. When the miners riot and the
troops fire on them and blood Is shed the
case broadens materially from the merely
economic phase which II normally assumes.
1t becomes question OF the highest moral
ity. 1t involves the duty OF the state to
safeguard life, to reduce to minimum the
conditions which make for disorder and
disruption
We attack diseases which menace the
health of the whole people. We try to
stamp them out. to kill all the germs. to
educate the people to lead sanitary lives,
and we even in some cases compel them
to do SO. Should we not regard the strike
evil as disease, to be attacked as posi-
tive menace to the public health? 1t IS
destructive of life as surely as the cholera
which comes to us from abroad. or the
yellow fever which we allow to spread

Comic" Is the only word to apply to

they have discovered that Maxim Gorky
is not hero for the Ladies' Home Jour
nal. Gorky, in turn. Is equally amaze
and puzzled. He cannot understand why
Americans who pine for that intellectual
and moral freedom which viii result from
destruction OF the existing social order
should look askance on man who does
a little destroying on his own account
Gorky Is astonished at his own modera-
ton. He has done nothing but leave his
Wife In Russia and come to america with
another spiritual affinity" The perform
ance is not strictly legal, but-like all
such cases-it has the sanction of the
higher law" Can 1t be that our own
apostles of emancipation are still the
slaves to groyelling superstition? Do they
still make fetish Of the bourgeois viz
tues?

Heart
Like a Clock.

The pulsation OF the heart marks
the passage of the blood through
the veins, just as the ticking OF a
clock indicates the flight of mo-
ments OF time. Palpitation, fiutter-
ing or irregular action reveals the
fact that the heart is running down
and unless strengthened is liable
to stop at any time under some
weakening influence, such as excite
ment, overwork or intense mental
or physical strain. To regulate the
heart action you should take Dir.

DENMARK.
Copenhagen.

The third conference of the Interna-
tional League of Women Suffragists
convened in Stockholm Aug. Z. A
majority of the delegates, among
whom are Americans. are the guests
of leading families of Copenhagen. A
brilliant succession of excursions
and 'fests" have been arranged. The
queen of Denmark granted an audience
to Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait of New
York, presi: ent Of the league. The
queen expressed her admiration OF
American women, saying that she con-
siders item active and progressive
and that the women of other countries
should take them as models.
Denmark las several certenarians,
but the patriarch of all is Niels Mel
sen. of Gilbjerg, Heinsvig parish. He
is 103 years old, or three years young
ger than the oldest inhabitant of
Sweden. 1t is seventy years ago since
old Mr.. Nielsen married and forty
years ago since he turned his farm
over to his son. His hearing is gone,
his sight is greatly impaired, but his
mind is still clear. Every day, winter
or summer. he takes a walk in the
open air. and never complains that the
weather is cold. His only Hines was

BIG OUTPUT

Ninety per cent of the ores yielded by

Of the ore buyers are coming from Gold
field and Tonopah, and c-onsignments are
averaging 500 tons daily, or at the rate
of $1,000 per month, says the Salt Lake
Tribune. These ores will average. at a
conservative estimate, $50 a ton, aggre-
eating 5000, 900, and if maintained regu-
larly, therefore, form an output of $780,
$780, 900 a yea of which there is a record.
What the yield of ores which do not
reach the samplers cannot be estimated.
When the other 10 per cenI of the states
yield which is not included above is
considered. it is readily seen that South

81, 900, 900 a month, or at the rate of
