together with it's recommendations.
1t can be said at this time that the
president occupies the same position
he has occupied for several weeks. He
is anxious that a strike be averted
and is ready to do all in his power to
prevent a clash between the miners
and operators, but it is known that he
does not think the present moment
opportune for government interior
ence The subject was discussed at
the cabinet meeting.
It is evident that an optimistic view
is held at the White House regarding
the impending struggle. 1t is regard
ed as doubtful that a strike. declared
at this time, will prove as serious as
that of three years ago. 1t is pointed
out that the operators themselves are
divided on the question and that there
are indications that the serious aspect
Of the situation may be solved without
government intervention.

Some republicans are bringing forth

no republican at Albany is willing to
have the state banks and trust COM
panies investigated, and no republican
at Washington the White House or
out of it's urging Chairman Cortel-
you to publish his list of campaign sub

mon good be done. 1t is known that
all sorts of Irregularities have existed
in the state banks of New York. and 1t
is also known in a general way that
the Cortelyou campaign list would dis
close a deal of bribery and rottenness.
If Congress does not do its full duty
in regard to the Cortelyou campaign
list the subject should be carried be-
fore the people in the coming congress
sional elections, and If they really de-
sire to put an end to a plutocratic con-
troll of the government, they will elect
a House of Representative that will
force Mr.. Cortelyou to tell the whole
truth.
The matter will go before the people,
and If the people desire to put an end
to the wretched and destructive bust
ness they will speak out this fall, and
they will put their speeches in the bal
lot boxes. The responsibility rests on
the people and on no one else, and the
congressional elections of this fall will
show whether a majority desires re.
public for the greatest good Of the
greatest number, or a rotten ring.

Enough plants can be started in one

There are three types of hotbed that
are within the means of the ordinary
amateur gardener
The first is the temporary bed, in which
the manure is spread on the top of the
ground to the required depth and port
able frame placed over 1t.
The second differs only in having a
shallow pit dug to hold the manure.
The third type is permanent bed the
frame being made two and half feet
higher and built directly IN a pit of that
depth. In a bed of this kind the bottom
should be tile drained and it is good
plan to cover 1t also with a layer of
small cobblestones or planks. The out
side should be well banked up with
manure, earth or coal ashes.
The last type can be used not only as
a hotbed in the early spring, but also
when the manure and earth are cleaned

Iudqe Feaqin's Prebatieners,

Judge Feagin is working almost I'M
aided by the law to keep the hayward
boys of Birmingham from becoming
hardened criminals. He has two sys-
TENS, one for black boys, and one for
white boys, and both are productive
of excellent results.
The black boy who commits a first
offense is placed on probation, and If
he commits second offense, he is sent
to Sam Days farm near Tuscaloosa,
and from that farm he goes to some
other farm where he can earn wages.
1t is said that 200 young negroes have
in that way been transplanted from the
streets of this city to farms, much to
the benefit of the boys and of the state.
The white boys are sent, In the
event of second offenses, to the indus
trial school at East Lake, where fine
results are not only possible, but prob
able. The aggregate of the probation
work done by Judge Feagin is simply
great. and an appreciation of it on the
part of all good citizens should not be
withheld.
Judge Feagin hopes to be able to in
duce the next legislature to pass pro-
baton law based on the best expert
ence of other cities. Such law would
greatly facilitate the probation work,
and If every good citizen would study
what Judge Feagin is doing in that
direction the passage of the needed
law would not be a DlL doubtful.
