WOULD CRIPPLE INDUSTRY
Argument Used Against Eght-Hour
Day for EnqIish Miners.

London, March 13.-The colliery
owners who have been comforting in
the city on the subject of the govern
ment's bill establishing an eight-hour
day for miners decided, should par
lament pass the meas ure, to advance
the price of coal SO cents a ton and
to make all future contracts on this
basis. Shipowners, railways and man
ufacturers have been sending delega-
lions to Herbert Gladstone, secretary
for home affairs, ever since the intro
duction of the bill, pointing out that
the inevitable curtailment of the out
put and the increase in the price of
coal will mean a serious financial
strain, if not bankruptcy, to many of
the country's big Industries. Mr.. Glad
stone thinks these fears are exagger-
ated, but admits that the bill will re-
quire some amendments.

Moral: Advertise.

Mary had little lamb, its fleece
was white as snow; it strayed away
one day where lambs should never
go. And Mary sat her quickly
down and tears streamed from her
eyes; she never found the lamb be-
cause she did not advertise. And
Mary had brother John, who kept
village store; he sat him down and
smoked his pipe, and watched the
open door. And as the people
passed along and did not stop to
buy, John still sat ard smoked his
pipe and blinked his sleepy eye.
And so the sheriff closed him out,
but still he fingered near, and Mary

CRUISE A GREAT SUCCESS
Voyage Of BattIeship Fleet Up to
Expectations.

Washington, March ia feeling
Of genuine satisfaction prevails at the
navy department over the news of the
arrival of the battleship fleet at Mag
dalena bay, the last stopping place of
any length of time before the vessels
reach San Francisco. The fleet has
now covered the last long leg in the
long voyage on which it originally
started, the itinerary to San Fran
cisco from Magdalena bay contemplate
ing number Of stops en- route. Taken
primarily as practice cruise the voy-
age has come up to expectations and
ample and repeated opportunities
have been afforded for drills, evolu-
lions and other naval tactics as well
as opportunities for careful and exact
ing seamanship in waters new to many
American naval men. Above all the
fleet practically has finished the trip
without an untoward incident of con-
sequence and has arrived at Magda-
lena bay over three days ahead of her
schedule time. Naval officials say
there is genuine cause for congratula-
ton over the manner in which the
fleet has completed it's voyage.

Mr.. johnson had been called to
Walker to set up a new Campbell

Mr.. Johnson is one of the bes
machinists in the United States,
and he has a host of friends in

him and his house, when they need
anything in his line. His square

JAP PRESS CHANGES TONE
No Longer Demands Aggressive Ac.
ton Against China.


Toxic, March 13.-The demand of
the press and the public of Japan for
aggressive action against China in
connection with the Tatsu Maru affair
is subsiding.
The Asahi, one of the most influen.
tial newspapers, discusses the matter
at length and urges the government
to seriously consider the moral side
of the case and not to press China to
extremes. 1t thinks that Japan should
exercise greater vigilance concerning
the export of arms destined for the
use of insurgents against a friendly
government.
This view Is gaining ground and it
Is understood that the minister OF
war; General Terauchi, and Vice Ad
miral Saito, minister of marine, are
opposed to aggressive tactics. The
British minister, Sir Claude MacDon
aid, has held lengthy conferences with
Foreign Minister Hayashi.
The sentiment gathered from the
foreign Office supports the suggestion
that Great Britain is urging an am
icable settlement and, dwelling upon
the moral obligation of Japan to-
wards China.
The foreign Office asserts that nc
ultimatum has been issued in the mat
ter, but the belief is expressed that
the negotiations may be protracted.
In well informed circles it is assert
ed that China will eventually agree te
the demands of Japan in consideration
of a pledge upon the part of Japan
that a closer watch will be kept upon
expectation of arms.

Hereafter, the Pioneer will make
a uniform charge of cents per line
for local matter inserted in the
paper advertising any entertainment
where admission is charged with
absolutely no exception) with fav-
ors to none.
We are forced to this action, as
our columns have been altogether
too we'll filled with this class of ad-
vertising matter, to the exclusion
of live news matter, and with no
other remuneration to us except a
few tickets to some entertainment
or show which we did not give a
rap" to see or hear, the tickets
hardly ever being all used, and the
price of the tickets, at full rates, by
no means equaling the cost of the
advertising. We are not selecting
any class of entertainment in max
ing this rule.W simply want pay for
our work, and we will be found to
be as literally patronizing these
entertainments as any institution in
the city. But there is such thing
as riding free horse to death.'
We wish to establish this rule:
. Pay for your advertising, and we
will pay cash for our tickets. This is
but fair.
