For years Idaho ranges have furnished
the meats for a large portion of the

and the stock business has not kept
pace with the general growth of the
country.

THE ROBBING OF THE PILLARS.

A telegram from Scranton, Pa, the
other day. told how some 100000
damage was done in that city by the
caving in of the galleries of a great
coal mine that had been tunneled
under the city.
The dispatch said that the cave-in
was the result of pillar robbing' and
that among other buildings damaged
was $4,000 school house.
Now, what is pillar robbing"?
A pillar is column of coal that
is left in a mine to support the roof
of the mine.
Years ago engineers calculated just
how large and how close together
these pillars should be. And in those
days heed was given to the expert
even when his advice interfered with
profits.
But you take n coal mine ana issue
a lot of bonds on it and pump a lot
of water into it's stock and then merge
it into a trust. and the experts adj
vice inst so important as the profits.
So, from time to time, this pillar
has been trimmed down and that one
has been taken out altogether and the
output of coal has thereby been made
cheaper-and dividends kept up.
This is what the miners call pillar
robbing.
Finally Scranton, honey-combed
under her foundations, finds herself
dumpe into the bowels of the earth
by Baer, Providence, Morgan e. Co.
Perhaps, however, Divine Providence
is a silent member of the firm.
When pillar robbing" wrecks q
$4,000 public school the telegraph
dispatches are quite exciting. but the
same ponplc who indulge i'm pillar
rObbing'' are pulling the pillars out
from under a far more important
structure than u mere brick -and NOR
tar schoolhOuse.
Time was when grown men were
paid mems wages for work in the
mines, and babes and boys were left
up on the surface in Gods sunlight
to grow strong in body and to go to
school. These boys-sons of hard
working fathers-were the pillars of
the state. Their fathers might face
the perils of blast and gas way down
in the earth. but they were growing
up sound and healthy to become
fathers in their turn and to carry on
the great chain of human life.
But the coal trust had the pillar
robbing habit. The smaller and fewer
the pillars of coal, the larger the
profit The younger the employee in
the mine the smaller the average
wage, and the smaller the wage the
greater the profit
SO the schools We're robbed to fill
the breakers and to tend the air gates
and to drive the mules down there
among the coal pillars in the dark and
drip of the mine.
SO the school house was robbed of
its pillars first and then the mine
underneath it was robbed of its pill
lars, and the brick-and- mortar school
crumbled and fell just as the flesh
and blood school-the child laborers
had crumbled and fallen.
We heard much clicking of the tele-
graph about T,hbing the pillars of
hard coal. We hear all too little of
the robbing of the pillars of bOyhood.
The one we can see. The other we
cannot see.
Scranton can build u new school
house, but WHO will restore health and
life TO the child IabOrers. those pillars
of the race who are being torn down
by the coal trust?

SAVANNAH TO HAVE
- EXPOSITION IN 1915?

SAVANNAH, Ga, Aug. n.-While there
is some little gossip in Savannah relative
to a big exposition for this city in 1915 for
the purpose of celebrating the opening OF
the. Panama canal, it Is not believed that
the movement will take definite shape.
The representative men of the city are
known to be only lukewarm on the sub
ject and there is no rear enthusiasm.
Those on the inside of the agitation are
very much amused at 1t. Sunday last was
q dull day in Savannah and there were
several young men at the Elks' club,
three, It is said. was the exact number.
who were talking about Savannah and
the future. One of them was a newspaper
man. He said he was going to write an
article suggesting an exposition for Sa-
vannah in 1915 to celebrate the completion
of the canal. The others told him to go
ahead and. do it. These were the pro-
moters. The newspaper man didn't get a
chance to spring his little exposition gag
because one of the trio told the opposition
paper about it and that periodical spTang
It first. This constituted the entire spon-
taneity with which the subject was re-
ceived. There will not be an exposition
here in 1915 unless times and sentiment
change very greatly. There is a very
decided sentiment, however in favor OF
having something in the form of a carni-
val or something of the kind when the
president comes in November. and this
will be done. This was taken up at the
suggestion of the chamber of commerce
and will probably lie a success. It has
been practically decided to have the pres
ident welcomed to Savannah by a salute
from the Chatham Artillery when he ar
rives on the 4th of November.

list:

order to make observations. This the
true astronomer declares ridiculous.
Question of the individuality OF the

biological problem. The true astronomer
concerns himself merely with matters OF
mass, length and time.
Probability of the destruction of tho
earth by comets. This Is characterized as
pure idiocy."
Talk of comets plunging INTO the sun
and thus generating heat sufhcient TO
burn I'D the earth. More ''idiocy.''
Talk of satellites of the moon. Lud:-

parts of the country. according TO Pro-
lessor Frost is the planet Venue.
