week to the tributes TO the late
United states Senate and the IIoclse
Of Representatives.. our readers will
be- impressed BY the fact that the
cuiogies by colleagues of the late Sen

rs apprcciative of his sterling worth,
his lovablc qualities as a man and as
senator and his great ability as 4
national lawmakcr. as are the mem
bers of the Vermont delegation. Sen
ator Proctor. as Senator Carroll j.
Page so well says. was the einbodi-
ment OF the characteristics Of his
State. In other words he was 4 typi-
cal Vermorter. 1t is not necessary ut
this timo tc enter upon long sum
mary OF the life and services of our
lamented senator. HIS deeds arc writ
zen on tho hearts Of the people of Vcri
mont AMI the manner In which they
recall his uninterrupted solicitude for

1886 was 3.2Ss, while during the next
twenty years the total increased to
4.140. The yearly record which had
been 40 up to 1895 for number of
years Jumped TO 327 and the average
has been little under the last num-
Der ever since.
1t Is worthy OF note that tho divorce
rate per 100000 Of population jumped
from ~ in 1Ss to 10 in 1900. These
figures demonstrate in more conspicu-
Gus manner than any other the alarm
Ing Increase in the rate Of divorce IN

the census OF next year will show n
still further advance in the divorce
rate In our State.

MINERS DECLARE FOR
NEW. INDUSTRIAL RULE |. :
Contend for the Public Ownership
of. Means of Production and
Exchange.
Insist That Poverty is Directly
Attributable to Unfairness Of
Present Conditions.

INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 1.-THE fol-
lowing is copy of the resolution
unanimously adopted by the United
Mine Workers Of America at their
convention held in this city.
Resolution.
whereas, in the light Of the in
dustrial depression that has haunted
America for more than year, mil
lions of willing workers have been
forced into Involuntary idleness, there
by being denied access to the means
Of life, and
whereas, many of those who are
victims of this industrial depression
have, in self-preservation become in
tractors OF law, and
whereas, a class of predatory rich,
who scarcely know the limits of their
wealth, are co-existent with the
countless thousands whose poverty is
directly attributable to their failure
to find some owner Of the means Of
production TO employ them, and
Whereas, the denial Of the oppor-
tunity to willing workers to engage
in useful labor springs from the fact
that the means with which the neces-
saries of life are produced are owned
and controlled by private individuals,
who are not necessary factors in the
field of wealth production, but whose
only function is to profit by the &C
tivity of the working class 50 long
as a market can be found where the
product Of the workers can he dis
posed of, and
Whereas, the workers receive In
the form o wages only a. small share
of what their labor power with the
aid of machinery creates, thus pre-
venting them from buying back out
OF the markets the equivalent of what
they have produced, necessarily caus-
ing a glutted market; therefore, be it
"Resolved, that we, tine United Mine
Workers of America, in annual con-
vention assembled, recognize aid de-
clare for the necessity of the pub
lie ownership and operation and the
democratic management Of all those
means Of production and exchange
that are collectively used, that every
man or woman willing and able to
work, can have free access to the
means or life and get the full social
value of what they produce
