GOAL PEACE IN PROSPECT.

What threatened to be one Of the
most serious strikes in the history of
the country may be averted by the ne
gotiations which have been going on
between the mine operators and repre-
sentatives Of the unions in the blum
inous coal mining districts. The official
statement by President John Mitchell
that a national convention will be held
on March Is by the workmen affected
holds out hope that a settlement may
be reached without the strike which
was to have been called on April 1. The
announcement was given out on Tues
day with the presidents letter express
ing the hope that a peaceful agreement
would be reached.
While a coal strike in any region Is
always to be deplored. because of the
great number of men affected and the
immense loss which always follows, the
bituminous field is so great, it is spread
over such an immense area and the
possibilities Of loss are so stupendous.
that strike involving the bituminous
mines would be almost a national ca
lamity.
From this distance. and with the
meager facts at command it is not easy
to pass upon the merits of the demand
for higher wages. The miners them
selves are not entirely agreed upon the
case, as witness the INSTRUMENTATION of
Dolan, the Pittsburg delegate, who
voted with the operators to adjourn
their last conference. On the other
hand, the general public will be in
clined to sympathize with the miners
in the belief that the prosperity Of the
Coal-caTryinE railroads and the cOndi-
ton of the coal business at large justify
their claim for a share of the increased
earnings which have undoubtedly fol-
lowed the expansion of business.
The main point with the public, the
innocent spectators Of the situation, IS
TO have the controversy settled without
a resort to industrial war, which would
only result in loss to every one con-
cerned, and particularly to the con-
sumner, who invariably pays the cost Of
such wars.

VALE, CROSSWORD

The way in which Congressman Gros-
venor came to his final deserts and lost
the nomination in his own district has
a touch Of poetic justice about 1t beau
tIful to behold. Grosvenor has been
for years the big man of his region, the
spokesman Of the Republican admin
istration, the high priest of the stand
patters and the most conspicuous polit-
teal prophet of the state. Under the
Hanna Mckinley regime he held a sub
contract for the distribution of federal
pie in Ohio and waxed fat accordingly
When the congressional convention
came about this year, Grosvenor found
opposition strong enough to scare him
badly. His supporters made a deal
with the man who held the balance Of
power, $1,000 i'm nice new bank notes
changed hands, and then the conven-
tiOn went against GTOsvenOT. Of course
a good, clean politician like Grosvenor
knew nothing of the deal or the at
tempt at bribery, and no doubt he has
been Mortified TO hear that any such
thing was tried in his behalf. What IS
known technically among politicians as
the double-cTOss was handed to him
under such circumstances that he had
TO smile as he accepted the package and
take it without murmur.
Almost worse than his defeat is the
announcement Of the man who beat
him that he believes in a revision of
the tariff and all the other things
Grosvenor declared the people did not
want. To the Democratic observer.
Grosvenor's undoing seems much like
a providential retribution. He has
been the type of all cussedness a brutal
majority could accomplish when unTe-
strained by regard for public rights.
He has been ready for anything and
everything the Republican tariff ben
eficiaries asked or could wish; he has
been q spokesman Of the meanest type,
a representative of the trusts and the
corporations that fatten on special
privileges.
In a word. Grosvenor was a sort of
special agent for the forces which de-
moralize and corrupt government His
political demise is about the best thing
that could happen to his district and
state. distinct gain for the cause of
better government.

A CURIOUS LAWSUIT.

II a police department fails 70 en-
force law, and if a citizen, recogniz-
ing that the law is a dead letter, is
injured while disobeying it, has he any
standing in court in an action for dam
ages against the city for failure to
enforce the law? This is a question
the Pennsylvania courts viii be called
upon shortly to answer. The story Of
the case is worth telling
Wilbur Grace of New Castle, Penn
syIvania, while coasting down a steep
street ran into a water-pipe that was
sticking up I'm the middle of the thor
oughfare. The force of the collision
was so great that Grace sustained a
badly shattered leg. It was subse-
member Now there is law against
coasting on the streets Of New Castle,
but the police had never attempted to
enforce It with any strictness.
If they had. Grace would have been
arrested before he could have been in
jured, for he had gone down the hill
several times prior to striking the pipe.
But does failure to enforce a law give
the public the right to violate it? Is a
law less the law because 1t is not gem
orally regarded? As long as it is on
the statute books is it not the law?
without pretending any knowledge as
to the legal niceties Of the controversy
II does not seem to us that Grace can
have any hope for damages. At least
e5 per cent of the people of Salt Lake
never wilfully violate any statutes or
city ordinances. Nevertheless they
are lust as amenable TO punishment
when they do, Intentionally or unin-
tentionaIIy. break the law as if they
had been breaking it persistently and
habitually.
The police would have the physical,
though not the moral right. to arrest
one man for violating a law and TO let
a thousand men, guilty of exactly the
same offense. go free. The one man
arrested would be subject to all the
pains and penalties prescribed for such

MURDER OF INFANTS.

The dispatch from Washington. pub
lished a few days ago regarding the
great mortality caused among infants
by impure milk. soothing syrups and
pain-killers, must have caused a shock
to all readers. According to Professor
H. W. Wiley, chief of the chemistry
bureau Of the agricultural department,
more than a million infants are annual
ly "doped" TO death, and more than
twice that number are killed by impure
milk. Fresh milk is not responsible for
as many deaths as canned or condensed
milk, according to Professor Wiley, and
the latter is harmful mainly because 1t
is often kept for a long period before
being used.
No organism is so delicate, nothing is
as easily upset, as the digestive organs
Of an infant. While sometimes a baby
seems to cling to life with a tenacity
that is marvellous, the smallest thing
sends others to their graves. A food
that fattens one child kills another. It
is impossible to lay down a hard and
fast rule regarding the use of con-
I u6uSeu Hlllk OF u uIuSS 10 dildN pain
It may be said as a safe general propo-
sition, though, that It IS unwise to the
point Of criminality to give a baby
medicine of any sort without first con-
sulting the family physician.
Nearly every nostrum for quieting in
fants contains some deadly drug. The
child takes dose and stops crying be
cause it IS drugged, not because the
trouble of which 1t complained in the
only way it could complain is remedied.
The matter Of the use of milk is a much
more serious problem. It is possible to
greatly decrease the use Of drugs, but
It is impossible to get along without
milk for small children. The only safe
ty in the use of condensed milk lies in
making sure that the product is fresh
and untainted.
This might be brought about by re-
curing the manufacturer to attach 10
each can a label giving the date of its
making. Professor Wiley suggests that
this plan would have the effect of kill
ing the sale of condensed milk. Rather
would It not cause the establishment Of
small factories in many locations so
that fresh condensed milk could be
easily obtained at all times? This Is
done now with yeast cakes. 1t might
be possible with milk.
