regarded as a fundamental finding. with
a view to aseertaining where Hes the
weight Of justice, with them or with the
employers.
The work of the strike commission was
thoroughly done and covered broad field.
1t was of fundamental value In ascertainin8
the relations between the miners and the
operators and In determining a reasonable
ratio of wages and profits. There are prob
ably today no men better qualified to pass
upon issues growing out Of the disputes
between owners and workers in this indus
try than the members of the commission.
With minimum of preparation and delay
they could get at the meat of the case,
comparing the present issues with those OF
1902. They could save the two sides mate
rally by lessening the losses incidental to
the suspension of mining. If the contest
ing parties want peace on fair terms they
stand a better chance to get 1t by submit
ting the broad questions to the commission
than by lighting for It for months.
To ignore the strike commission, or to
persist in regarding 1t as having merely
served the immediate needs of the hour In
1902, or to eliminate essential questions
from Its present review Is to waste the
best effects OF its great work. And such
course win merely cause the public to
demand more insistently than ever that
permanent method Of compulsory arbitra-
ton be provided by law. to prevent these
almost periodical ruptures of industrial re-
lations, with. their consequent heavy bur
dens of short supplies and high prices.

Miners, Operators and Commission

The hard coal mine owners have re-
jected the latest propositions of the strik-
ing miners and have put the case up to
them In plain terms. to be considered by
the workers at a convention to be held
next Thursday at Scranton AS stated by
the operators. the issue is clearly defined In
this manner: Shall the award of the strike
commission of 1902 be regarded as a basis
for adjustments subsequent to that award
shall II be considered merely as serving
the immediate necessities of that occasion
and shall the commission be now utilized to
settle present questions without reference
10 the former award?
The operators contend that the commits
sion of 1902 covered the ground SO COM
petely that all that is necessary now is TO
submit TO the members of that body, In
their Individual capacities, the question
whether In their Judgment the conditions
have so changed since 1902 as TO require
that the award should be modified as to
wages and adjustment OF complaints and II
so, how It could be changed. The miners.
according TO their latest propositions. urge
that the strike commission OF 1902 settled
only the immediate questions and they in
effect suggest that the questions submitted
now be OF specific nature, NOT dependent
for answer upon the findings of 1902.
Ii is Of course recognized on all sides
that the strike commission OF 1902 ceased to
exist when 1t adjourned after submitting
It's report. The mine owners cannot In

BRYAN and 1908.

Replying to inquiries on the subject, MIR.
Bryan's friends express themselves as con-
fldent that the partys next nomination will
be his If he desires 1t. Is he likely to de-
cline it?
Mr.. Bryan took himself out of the way in
1904 not because he did not desire another
try at the White House. but because the
year was unpropitious. Had he urged his
friends to their utmost he might have been
the nominee. But he had taken the meas
ure OF Roosevelts popularity, and saw what
was coming at the polls. Moreover, he
knew that a third defeat would send him
70 the boneyard as a presidential quantity.
and he felt that he was too young and
charming TO die. SO he addressed himself
TO the platform and let the nomination
slide. He did not fancy Parker. but sur
rendered gracefully when Parker was nomi-
mated.
Things turned out very much as Mr..
Bryan expected. The candidate proved to
be frost" the campaign languished. and
the eastern wing of the party became
greatly discredted. Not only did the Ne
braskan emerge from the struggle In good
shape as to personal popularity, but was
able-and improved his opportunity-to
point a moral and adorn tale by quoting,
first, the votes he had polled In the years
when his party was insane and unsafe. and
then those Judge Parker had polled. now
that the party had recovered It's reason.
Mr.. Bryan saved himself then by his
course In 1904. He even acquired some
strength in quarters where he had before
been weak. VIII he care for the next
prize? He WILL of course, If 1t looks valu-
able. Just now 1t looks that way. But
these are days OF surprises and lightning
changes, and what looks most valuable now
may look like thirty cents two years hence.
SO 1t all depends. Another republican
House, with Mr.. Cannon In the chair will
send the democratic stock down again,
while a democratic House should make Mr..
Bryan a buster man than ever.
Something, too. will depend on the re-
publican nominee. The republicans being
in power will be the first in the field and
FOL If their nomination Is made In a way to
assure enthusiastic support. and the nomi-
nee Is a man of genuine force, Mr.. Bryan
may decide 10 save himself again and let
somebody else try. The next time he runs
he must win, or forever after hold his
peace.

The one hundred amendments to the rail-
road rate bill show how thoroughly the
Senate has gone into the subject. And they
are not huncombe. They represent the opin-
ions Of men ready with reasons, and with
regulations at stake. It Is but fair to add,
too, that this course by the Senate was ex-
pected by the country. When the Hepburn
bill passed the House. opinion was general
that 1t would be scrutinized closely by the
Senate and probably amended. The scru-
tiny has been all that was predicted. and
amendment in some form may follow. But
even should all amendments fail, and the
House bill In the end go through. the Senate
debate will greatly have educated the coun-
try on the whole question, and In that way
have added to the public satisfaction.

The FURTHER ADVENTURES OF MISS
MUPFET.
When along came a spider
And sat down beside her.

Ana SAT down beside her.
And frightened Miss Muf,et away
Mother Goose.
When first she fed from the spider dread Miss
'Mu1et was trembling with fright
But soon she said she tossed her head: such
chfldishness cannot be right;
/ must conquer my fear OF this insect queer and
with feminine sQueamshns.ss cope:
must seize on this chance to my knowledge en-
nance, with the aid Of a microscope"
So she poked and peered while the spider leered
at her dinner Of curis and whey,
And she wrote and wrote and took endless noto
of the thing that before he. lay;
And when the repast had ended at last and the
spider had climbed up his rope
Miss Munet sat down. In her brand new gown,
and wrote out a booklet Of dope.
Now It Glanced TO pass that this brainy lass
who had worked while the spider fed,
was a college maid and professors paid much
heed 10 this shrewd coed;
AND her insect lore they all talked DER worthy
of high degree.
So her medaled breast looked like Sousa's vest
and her handle LID.
Yes. the moral Is thfs-Iike our learned Miss you
should stand and be brave, my dears;
Just rise In your might and Conquer your fright,
and see what Is causing your fears;
ana no bogfes you'll see and triumphant you'll
be, and viii silence each would be derfder.
Like courageous Miss Muffet, who marched 10 her
tuffet and studied that bluffng old spider.
