A TEST OF THE RECALL

The right of recall of municipal officers, which has been advocated strenuously by many stu dents of possible reform in the government of cities, IS surely one not to be exercised lightly
 There should be enough stability of administra- tion to prevent public fickleness from working public injury. It is the city of HaverhlI, Mass, winch Just now furnishes an example of this need of conservatism. Only last year new charter was adopted, undertaking to eliminate partisan politics from city affairs. Municipal officials were to serve two years. The new sys- tenn has been i'll operation little more than six months It's administration has been without scandal, and it is acknowledged to have fulfilled every promise in economy of finance and ill substituting efficiency for favoritism partisan or personal.
 Now movement for recall is under way. It's chief promoters are defeated candidates for mayor at the last election Their desire for change seems natural But they advance no in the way of criticising the existing or der and management of the city $ business Yet a single days effort secured one hundred sig natures 10 petition for vote upon recall. A systematic effort to gain the 1900 signatures needed seems likely to succeed. In other words 70 per cent of the voters may be counted as eltnef desiring change or craving the excite ment of political campaign. Here seems an opportunity for the conservative citizens of Haverhill to demonstrate that an assumed re- form in municipal government may not too lightly be made to work its own undoing Other wise, the abuse of the power of recall in that city may call halt elsewhere in the establish ment of what would seem, if rightly employed, a desirable check upon possible laxites, fnan- cial or administrative in the conduct of muni- cipal business.

-Donahey in Cleveland Plain Dealer.

agreement has not been violated, the strikers not being members of the association. But the organizers of tue mine workers in the United States have gained considerable following among the Cape Breton employees The corpor- atlon refused to recognize this new body, claim ing that 1t would be used not to better the con ditons of the men in Nova Scotia, but to hamper the operations of Canadian mines so that competing operators in the United States would gain an advantage in Canadian markets. The president of the corporation asserts that the fight is between the company and a portion of it's men, organized on national lines, on one side, and the remainder of the men, backed by the great resources of an international order, on the other.
 It is said that this is the largest and most i'm portant conflict between labor and capital that has ever been waged in Canada It's unusual phase Is the national aspect of the issue and it's apparent use by the Dominion company to pre- vent the adherence of the workers to stronger
 international organization. In this respect the outcome of the struggle becomes of interest to both workers and employers in the United States, not alone in the coal industry, but in ev- cry other, such for example, as the business of water transportation, where the workers are of one organization, in Canada and in Mexico as well as in the United States.

THE PRACTICAL JOKER

We suppose there must be some quality of fun in playing practical jokes We rather doubt it, to be sure, but we admit our misgiv- ings to be inconcusive and we shall not urge them exhaustvely. Ever since Shem ierked a chair from beneath Noah and bumped the old gentleman $ head against the wall-much to the delight of animals and things around and about the ark-the practical jokers have been with us. They go on forever, it appears much after the fashion of the boat-rockers, the people who play with unloaded guns, and so forth.
 But while we concede the possibility of a practical joke being funny it sorely puzzles us to understand, nevertheless, just the precise nature of the fun appertaining and attaching to some of them. There is that Atlanta man for instance, who pIayfuy pinned pIacard on a neghbor's desk the other day, setting forth the alleged fact that the said neighbor was SO journing for period in the state lunatic asy- Ium. The joker thought it was funny, as also, doubtless, did number of visitors who hap pened to see it-albet fraction of the latter possibly failed to think it so very amusing. By and by, the jokee came home and waxed exceed ingly wroth, and slapped the joker's face playfully and jokingly enough, perhaps. But while the joker could play a joke, he, seemingly could not take one-as often happens, we might mention incidentally-so he procured his gun and shot said jokee through the heart; where upon jokee fell down and gave mp the ghost.
 The natural and philosophical conclusion is that the ioker-now in jail charged with mur- der-is tckled to death in contemplation of the great success attending his truly grotesque and performance. How very, very funny it must be to reflect that his victim is dead and beyond the reach of other practical jokers of possibly more superb resourcefulness than he !! Really, it-ha ha must be eXcruciatingy funny, not only to the murderer but to the wife and babies left to worry along without the dead mans help and love.
 Yes, indeed This state of things must be awfully funnv-but not being practical iokers we really are too dense to appreciate it, we fear. It would appear well within the range of the reasonable to suspect that one might have some fun along other and less strenuous lines. But we do not know, and. as we said in the begin ming, we shall essay no dogmatic assertions in respect of the same. The practical joker is a puzzle, and we are unable accurately to fathom him. But that he gets much amusement from his cavorting we must suspect to be true; If he did not, he surely would learn some sense some where along the line
 Seemingly he does not, however.

OUR PEOPLED LAND

An empty continent was once a favorte phrase of description, used in comparing the vast area of the United States, in proportion to its population, with the number of inhabitants to the acre in lands of other nationalties An other graphic method of comparison was the statement that if all the people in this country were to be gathered within the boundaries of Texas, that one state would not be as densely inhabited as France A little calculation with the returns of the latest census would show that the second comparison may no longer hold good As for the descriptive phrase of empti- ness, that has lost entirely its fitness
 Immigration plus natural increase have not only conquered this broad strip of the con- tinent, but are filling it from brim to brim with productive, patroctc, and prosperous people, How true is this statement has been illustrated repeatedly by the opening to settlement of ev- cry stretch of land released from government ownership or Indian reservation The old scenes of wild stampedes across newly opened boundaries into territory freshly conceded to the advance of white civilization will never be repeated. Those gatherings at the edge of an invisible line of land-hungry men with de- pendent women and children mingled with ad- venturers, spectators, and desperadoes- never again occur. The substitution of more placid and orderly methods, while less pictur- esque, are no less significant of the increasing pressure of human industry upon productive area. The figures are vividly graphic, as is shown by the eager pressure for white occu- patton of the Occur d'AIene. Spokane, and tlathead reservations, now on the brink of set clement and private ownership.
 The estimate is that there will be on file by August at least 100000 applications for little slices of this remnant of Uncle Sans big farm. Perhaps one applicant in fifteen may have the good fortune to draw in this lottery the right to a homestead worth taking up The number of applications would fill considerable city. It IS interesting to note that perhaps 10000 of the applicants are veteran soldiers and sailors. Yet, 1t is as if it were yesterday, within the span of generation, when the veterans, return ing home from the Civil war, gave such i'm petus to the taking up of public lands that now he m commonwealths no longer on the border. The tlme IS here, nay is already past, when it can no longer be said that the United States has a hinterland. Yet the possibilities of the de- velopment of natural resources in the oldest parts of this new world bewilder imagination

A CANADIAN COAL STRIKE

There is strike at the mines of the Dominion Coal company, in Cape Breton, that is of un- usual interest, both to the mine workers and the operators in the United States. This strike involves internationalsm in disagreements be- tween organized labor and employers. The United Mine Workers of America. of whom John Mitchell was formerly the leader, as it's title implies, is society whose membership is not confined to this country. The industrial and economic reasons for this internationalism are clear, for border lines do not affect the sup ply of coal or the demand for labor on either slde' even though tariff was invoked to pre- vent competition of the Canadian product with that of the United States.
 Before the advent of the United Mine Work CTS, there existed in the Cape Breton fields a local labor organization known as the Provin clal Coal Workers association This body has a contract with the Dominion company which will not expire until next December. That
