Did His Best.


The young politician was as obliging
as possible. but there was a limit to
his possibilities. When the reporter
asked him what his wife would wear
at the mayors reception he assumed a
confidential air.
"1i tell you just as much as / know
myself" be said. Last night she told
me she should wear white. This
morning ut breakfast she said she'd
decided on her rose colored gown, and
when l said goodby to her she had
spread a gray one beside the rose col
ored on n chair and her black lace
beside the white on another and was
taking something else out of the closet.

COLONIAL VIRGINIA.
The Naughty Planters Were Fierce
Foes Of Royal Tyranny.

Foes OF Royal tyranny
In no part of the world were social
distinctions more rigidly defined than
In colonial Virginia. The founders of
that colony stepped from the brilliant
court of Elizabeth into the forests of
Virginia. The l~ord-proprietor trans
ported to his estate a little army of
gentlemen and indentured servants,
and afterward came the negro slave.
Each formed a class apart from the
others. and almost at once there was
created a quasi system of aristocracy.
The proprietor obligated himself to
protect his tenants from the Indians.
They in turn agreed to follow him to
battle, precisely the system inaugural
ed by William the Cenqueror for the
military defense of his realm. His en-
vtronment naturally bred certain hab-
its of command. fostered a capacity for
directing the efforts of others and i'm
posed a sense of responsibility upon
the planter for the lives that were in
his keeping.
Above all else the planter jealousy
guarded his rights rs an English free
man. When liberty languished In Eng
land the Virglnian sturdily resisted ev-
cry aggression of royal tyrants. One
husband. one wife. one home. one king.
God-this was the planters creed.
But he reserved the right to renounce
a monarch who violated the ancient
compact between king and people. No
other people numerically as unimpor-
tant as that group of Virginia SETTLERS
has given to humanity so many states
men, soldiers, orators. patriots and phi
losophers--Everybody's Magazine.

TWO ARE SHOT

IN MINE RIOT
Troopers In Pennsylvania
Battle With Strikers at
Old Forge.
WOMEN HELP IN ARRAY

Scranton, Pa, Aug. 24.-The strike
Of the miners employed at the Old
Forge colliery of the Pennsylvania
Coal company has taken an alarming
turn. Following rioting, in which two
men were shot, two attempts at dyna-
T hitting have been made.
In anticipation of more outbreaks as
serious or more serious in character
than those which have already taken
place rifles, riot sticks and policemen's
clubs have been taken to the offices of
the collieries.
During the rioting Joseph Bolecci,
aged forty-f1ve years, was shot through
both wrists, and Daniel Venardi re-
ceived a bullet In the right leg. The
shots were fired by state troopers,
who, after using their maces right and
left On a crowd Of miners, found 1t
necessary to resort to revolvers when
the crowd turned on them with chairs
and clubs.
After the fight dynamite was the
next weapon used. The strikers ex
ploded a dynamite charge under the
eight inch steam pipe running from
the Old Forge colliery to the No. 2
shaft, smashing it in sections for some
distance. Four hours later they ex-
ploded a charge under the iron trestle
close to No. 2 shaft, but they laid the
charge wrong and no damage resulted
to the trestle.
Several men were arrested for inter-
fering, with miners who have refused
to join the strike.
The strike has spread to the No. 10
and the Law shafts of the Central col
liery.
So far the representatives of the
miners organization have been unable
10 have the strike called off and the
grievances taken up in the proper
channel. President Benjamin Nc
Enany will take charge of the situa-
ton upon his return from Indianap-
oils, which will be inside Of a few
days.

two men being shot, ome tool an

county republicans are again in a
bitter factional fight, with Represen-

Both sides have candidates for the
nomination of member of the assem-

In certain Southern city promi-
nent churchman and protested Chris
tian erected a handsome brick block
in one of the best residence sections
Of the city. II was rumored that a
part of this block was to be rented
for a saloon. Fifty Of the best wo-
men of the neigh borhood went in a
body to the owner OF the brick BLOCK
and begged him not to let q saloon
in He replied that the building was
already leased. and refused 10 cancel
the lease. The keeper OF that saloon
was killed in j drunken row, also
policeman, and a second policeman
was wounded. We have all the
names in the case and the liberty 10
use them if We wish. but this is not
the pertinent thing just now. The
churchman in question, however. Is
leader of a numerous denomination,
which follows close III his lead SO far
as its attitude to the liquor business
Is concerned. The point Is that if the
leaders in moral and religious thought
wink at the saloon. so Will the rank
and file. Liquor dealers know this
and give vastly more attention to ad-
vertising one preacher who may be in
sympathy with the license system
than q hundred others less prominent
as leaders in religious and moral
thought. It is a mystery to US how
any man who makes any pretentions
whatever to being q Christian. can
give his support to a business that is
so absolutely opposed to the princi-
pies of Christianity is the liquor
business. It is difficult to find a
Christian Of any prominence who will
openly support the saloon. II Is not
difficult, however, to find Christians,
the most prominent citizens in the
community, who support it indirectly.
There are many good men in Flor
ida who are giving substantial encour-
agement to the liquor traffic just now
by advocating local option as opposed
to wide prohibition. These men
are honest in their ina ginary argu
ment that one county has right
TO interfere with the affairs Of an
other county. They would vote
against the saloon in their own town.
but they are willing for it to exist
just across the county line. They
do not want their own town debauch-
ed, but they are willing that neigh
boring town should be debauChed:
they don't want their own boys dam
ned and their own homes ruined, but
are willing to see the boys and homes
of their neigh bors damned and ruined.
If this is the spirit of Christianity,
then we have entirely mistaken Chris
tianity The trouble with these men
is, they have put loyalty to political
principle (granting that this is good
politics. above loyalty to the demands
OF their religion. They imagine that
they are good democrats good re-
publicans, while they are mighty poor
Christians. It is pathetic in the ex-
treme to see men so scrupulOus about
tracking the letter of its party law
and at the same time SO utterly care
less Of the law of God, and the veal
of their nei ghbors and the good of the
commonwealth. 1t is a sad condition
