IN THE COAL MINES.

Revelations of narrowing con-
ditions existsng in the big steel
plants of Pennsylvania are now
supplemented by an official re-
port of conditions found to exist
in the bituminous coal mining
industry of the Keystone state
which are equally shocking.
The report shows that about
rs out of every 100 of the min
ers in the coal fields of western
Pennsylvania are aliens. They
are an ignorant class and their
ignorance is partly responsible
for many shocking mine acct
dents. But lack of proper safety
appliances and a callous indiffer-
ence to the fate of the operatives
on the part of greedy mine own.
ers has much TO do with the
slaughter The miners mostly
deal at the company pluck me"
stores. If they don't they are
apt to lose their jobs. The aver
age annual income of the adult
miner is $431 or about So so a
week. On this, he shas to sup
port a family which is usually
large. To exc out the slenderin-
come children are put to work at
tender ages and frequently the
family takes dodgers. In the
mean little shack that composes
the company houses, the housing
of dodgers" in addition to the
numerous family produces inevi-
tally a condition not conducive to
the best spiritual and moral at
mosphere. It's noted that very
few of the alien miners show a
civic spirit. Only about % per
cent, have applied for naturali-
cation in the last ten years.
This is not surprising. The
hoasted land of the free"
must seem a good deal of hum
bug to the overworked, under
paid foreigner lured to these
shores by ghtteling promises of
prosperity and contentment.
The mine owners are benefci-
aries of the glorious Republican
principles Of protection. But
their imported alien labor is not
protected. Nor are American
workingmen protected against
the competition Of these num-
begged foreigners. Labor is and
always has been on the free list
but the American workman who
splits his throat at election time
shouting for the protective tariff
has never yet seemed to quite
grasp that fact. Perhaps he
will this year.

THE INDIAN LAND SCANDAL.

The congressional inquiry into
the Oklahoma Indian lands scan
dial has progressed far enough to
entirely vindicate the propriety
of Senator Cores making the
charges which brought about the
inquiry. Occasionally a news
paper is found with its moral
sense sufficiently blunted to re-
Duke the Oklahoma senator for
revealing just what Hamon,
National Republican Committee
man, said to him about men
higher up. being in the deal.
One Of these papers. the Phila-
delphia Inquirer, thinks MIR Gore
should have considered the "con-
sequences of his act" and refus-
ed to disclose the names of the
men mentioned. This is tanta-
mount to advocating the perpe-
traticn Of a fraud on the investi-
eating committee, virtual
court. Mr.. Gore made no char
GEES again Vice President Sher-
man or the other alleged men
higher up" He simply told
the committee, as he was i'm dutv
bound to do, what Hamon told
him. His evidence as to Ham
on's statement has been amply
substantiated by the test mony
OF others who were approached
by the enterprising engineer of
the SO, 100000 land fee contract.
The investigation has shown a
disgraceful condition existing
with regard to Indian affairs.
The wards Of the nation" have
had such experience of the be-
nevolent care Of the government
that they willingly signed con-
tracts to give the McMurray
combination ten per cent, of the
proceeds Of the sales of their
land. As one chieftian. whose
interest was $4,000, said: II
would rather have $4,000 now
than $1,000 after 1 am dead"
1t is also revealed that a
joker got into the Indian ap-
preparation bill. It was not dis.
covered until it reached the
White House. It was then too
late to send the bill back for cor
rection and the president signed
it. Who puts jokers" into bills?
The numerous jokers" in the
Payne-Aldrich tariff bill are an
ever present and unpleasant
memory. The purpose of the
Indian appropriations bill Joker"
was to permit holders of land to
get another year or two of occu-
patton pending legal appeals to
the supreme court and their dis
position by that body which time
could be proftably used to strip
the lands of oil and minerals
Whether on not men higher
up are besmirched as a result
of the present. inquiry. the
Indians of Oklahoma and the
nation at largo owe Senator Gore
q debt of gratitude for the expo
sure ON the floor Of The senate
which has led to the turning of
he light Of publicity on to our
Indian affairs.

QUALITY RATINGS
SHOULD Be REVISED
Apple Show Bulletin Recommends
That Matter Be Taken up at
Pomological Meeting.

SPOKANE. Wash. Oct. 11.-Draw-
ing attention to the meeting Of the
American Pathological Society at
Tampa, Fla, next january, the Ma
tional Apple Show Bulletin will say
in its forthcoming issue that this
convention affords excellent oppor-
tunities for the revision OF the quail
ity ratings on western apples of
standard commercial varieties, which
are not now recognized an they
should be by that organization.
After urging growers in Washing
ton, Oregon, California, Idaho, Mon
tana. Utah. Colorado and New Mex
leo to send representatives to the
meeting to insist upon their rights,
the Bulletin adds:
The American Pathological Soci-
ETY. is recognized as the authority on
fruits and its quality ratings, rules
and advisory resolutions carry much
weight. 1t has been several years
since the quality ratings on apples
were revised and as a result the
commercial values of some of the
best varieties grown in the box apple
states are improperly rated.
"a delegation should go from
this country and the representatives
ought to be provided with boxes of
apples containing all the varieties
that are correctly rated. The case
would be 100 per cent stronger If
the apples are exhibited at the time
the speakers present their argument
in favor of changes"

has arranged for n convention OF

they were finally placed IN the state
