Some BdnkruptS.

Every town has it's bankrupts.
They arenot all financial bankrupts
by a long shot. There is the social
bankrupt and the moral bankrupt,
and last, but not least. the religious
bankrupt. The social bankrupt may
wear good clothes and have money
in his pocket, but he has no credit in
the better circles of society. The
moral bankrupt has to pay cash for
everything he gets The religious
bankrupt has dOnned his cloak so Of
ten that he has worn holes through
it and the eyes of the world see the
bankruptcy sign beneath. But the
least of these is the financial bank
rupt. He may, when fortune smiles,
wash away the spots, but there is
little hope for the moral and religious
bankrupt. Moral credit is something
you can't get at the bank or from the
hands of patient friends. You have
to dig it out yourself. A financial
bankrupt can be made whole again by
the stroke of the pen. So, my friend,
when you see the bankruptcy sign
coming toward you and you have to
hang up something, take care that it
is your pocketbook. Hang on to your
morals, your religion and your social

would be glad to be helped out of
their quandry by the action of a COM
mission which they could blame safe
ly for not getting all they had promis-
ed their followers they would get. So
that is about the outcome that the
country may look for, submission on
the part of both employers and en-
ployees to the DEGREES of a commission
and then the appointment of tine COM
mission by the president with the
knowledge that the coal question will
be settled for perhaps two years more,
leaving coal no more than half dol
lar ton dearer than it was before
the threatened strike commenced.
Both the miners and the operators,
which is only another name for the
coal roads, are squeezing the consum-
ers of the country to the last ounce of
fluid in their bodies and they prObab-
ly think if the householders get used
to eight dollar coal in the next two
years that they can be trained next to
pay for nine dollar coal. But there is
always the danger in the background
that some reckless congressman will
spring the proposition to take posses
sion of the coal fields and to make
them as much part of the govern
ment service as is the postoffice and
that he will spring it at the psyche
logical moment when the measure
will become a law.
1t seems while there has been a
very general nurrall in the NAVY de-
partment over the prospect of this
government having the biggest bat
tleship in the world, and while most
naval officers would like to see a TO-
900, ton battleship built, there is a
current of resistance under the sur
face and there is a faction in the de-
partment that would prefer to see two
&c. 900 ton ships in place of the one

When a Man Leaves Kansas.

Occasionally good man grows
dissatisfied with Kansas says the
Seneca Tribune. THE milk is too
yellow OF the honey too sweet and he
doesn't like them to flow over his
land anyway. So he parts with his
farm, sells his livestock and other
things too numerous to mention, and
moves to Oklahoma There he takes
his good Kansas money and buys a
farm which today is and tomorrow is
not, because the wind has blown it
away. Or he tries Colorado and
slushes around in the mud irrigating
strip of bottom 50 narrow that a
COW can't jump into the field because
she jumps over 1t.
"Then he hears of Texas and goes
down to hunt the bag of gold at the
rainbow. In the day time lie scratches
sandburs out of his flesh, and at night
centlpedes crawl oyer his face. When
his money is all gone he begins to
feel like he did the first night he ever
stayed away from home
s'He yearnS for old Kansas, and the
yearn sticks in his throat and chokes
him until tears come in his eyes. He
would give months work just to see
the cows standing at the bars on his
old Kansas farm and hear the horn
blow for supper.
Memory is marvellous painter
and paints best the things we love
best t pictures to the traveller the
corn silking in the field he once own
ed, the wheat following for the har-
vest, the clover stretching away in a
carpet of red and green, richer than
the rugs of Persians. 1t shows him
the elms as they whispered to his
children at play beneath them, points
to the roses in the corner of the old
rail fence, and in infinite detail paints
a thousand things that touches the
heart and proves is whimsical power.
Happy is the man who wakes from
sleep to find that he has wandered
from Kansas only in his Dreams

ing is simple. They say that with
one immense ship the country is car
rying too many eggs in one basket
and also that to keep up well balanc-
ed squadIons the navy must have
more battleships. to cooperate with
the cruisers. This is question for
naval experts and one which even
naval experts cannot definitely de-
eide but which must be left to the
hard and expensive school of expert
ence. The adverse view is given,
however, for the sake of keeping up
with both sides of the controversy
and the matter will ultimately have
to be settled on the floor OF the house

Washington Letter
IFrom our Regu ar Correspondent
WASHINGTON. ID. G.. Mar. 81, 1906

from our Regular Correspondent
WASHINGTON, d. c., Mar. 81, 1906
For the moment, at any rate, the
question of the coal strike has taken
precedence even of the rate bill dis
custom 1t is not that Washington
is any more directly affected than any
other city ID the country, but it is
the city where great many legisla-
tors are directly affected by the
:threatened change in prices There
are two classes of congressman, one
which is affected by a change in
prices and one which is not. All con-
gresSmen are not rich, strange as it
may seem to the outsider. Some are
even dead poor and live in boarding
houses where they are not directly af-
fectd by the change in the price of
coal but where they will have the
subject dinned into their inner con-
seriousness by the lamentations of
their landlady. Others who are not
directly affected are at the other end
of the social scale and do not particu-
larry care whether coal is four dollars
a ton or eight dollars. But there are
a great number of representatives
and sprinkling of senators who live
in houses of their own and who are
affected by change in the price of
household conditions. 1t is these
gentlemen who more than any others
will have to do with legislation; if it
comes, In connection with the coal
situation.
Thus Washington is a good place to
look for the cry of the householder to
take definite form. Congress has its
eye on the situation in the coal re-
glonS, and while it is not imminent
that legislation Matchmaking the
fields will be passed or that there will
be any other radical move, it is quite
possible that congress will begin to
''make motions that will bring the
senseless fight of the operators and
the labor unions to an end The
threat to take over the fields and OPP
crate them asa government menopo-
ly is probably the form that the first
agitation will take. There is no likli-
hood that this will be done. But it is
play that will appeal TO the public,
and as soon as the suspension order of
April 1st goes into effect. it is a safe
guess that some member will be in
Producing bill of that sort into the
house.
The president has very wisely re-
fused at this time to take any active
part in the discussion. He has been
appealed to by both the miners and
operators to nominate a commission
as he did in the case of the strike two
years ago to inquire into the whole
question. But the president has said
that if he appoints a commission it
will have to be one with the power to
do things He has had enough of in
yestIgation and he thinks that both
he and the rest of the country know
about the whole of the coal situation.
Ifhe appoints commission, which
he has no right in law to do, it must
be one to whose findings the miners
and the operators pledge themselves
to submit. The commission conclu-
sion is probably what the row viii
come to. Neither the minors nor the
5 operators dare again to plunge the
country-into the misery and expense
of a prolonged strike. Both"sides
