for his disk harrow. It is neat and in

Administration Of
Justice Disgrace


President Taft is . big man in
size. He takes up more space and
amounts to less than any other oc-
cdpant Of the Presidential chair. As
4 statesman he Is the original and
only Tom Thumb. ! He has said less
that is worth repeating than any
other public man in the history Of
the nation one thing that might
have been said by a man with heart
beating for the good Of the people.
It was this: 1.-THE administration of
justice in this country is q disgrace
to our civilization. y
It isn't necessary to go beyond the
confines Of our Little Mountain
State where mountaineers are al
ways free( ito find examples Of
this disgrace.
Industrial trouble arose in the
coal fields. In 1902 instigated by the
most INSCRIPTIONS aggregation of
coai barons that ever disgraced the
fair name of q state and in the strug-
gle that followed the union men were
holding their own until the coal
barons demanded o ftheir servants
in Office the creation Of system
aimed directly at the suppression OF
labor. And this demand was at once
complied with and the notorious
guard, and railroad police syste n
was established and horde of cut
threats, ex-conEicts and criminals
from other states were commissioned
by the Governor to go to the aid of
ais masters and the union men and
heir families were driven about at
the muzzle of WinchesteEs like wild
.nimals, and thus aided by the state
officials, the, coal barons forced their
employees into slavery in all the coal
ields of the state except the Kan
lwha District and since that time
aorde of thugs have stood guard
over the slaves and compel them to
comply with the dictates Of the
:oulless corporations.
Justice was never more disgraced
than in the enforcement of this des-
potic system. And during the per-
cd that this system has been in

and crippled for life and hundreds
upon hundreds have been assaulted
and beaten for no other reason than
lat they were union men. Women
and children have been insulted and
abused an din several instances these
thugs have thrown miners and. their
families into the public highways
without due process of law.
These lawless depredations have
been brought to the attention Of the
officers of the law from the chief
executive down to constable and
sworn proof submitted to substanti-
ate the charges, but not in one sim
gle instance has one of these guards
been prosecuted. The several Gov
ernors have ignored labor's plea for
justice and the legislatures have like
wise turned a deaf ear to their APP

Balfour may offer terms of compromise
that will prove very inviting to the lib
erals.
Mr. Asquith has no appetite for an
appeal to the people on grave consti-
tutional question until the death of Ed
ward VII has to some extent passed
from the public mind. The conservatives
are buslly engaged in disseminating the
story that the political disquiet led to
the Kings death, and there is no ready
way to meet this.
Something similar to the present con-
ference occurred in 1884, when Mr.. Glad
stone and Lord Salisbury agreed upon a
plan for an extension of the franchise
and this plan became law and was put
into execution without a dissolution of
parliament. The lords veto may be set
tied in a similar manner. Real conees-
sions are. however, essential this time.
Mr. Asquith must secure something tam
gible or else defeat will surely be his
portion. All Is uncertain at present and
will be until the premier presents COM
promise that both parties will be asked
to accept.

Pooling All the People All the Time

Disregarding Abraham Lincolns advice,
the republican party evidently thinks it
can fool all the people this time at least.
Whenever it wants to evade a touchy
subject it appoints a commission to in
vestigate it. Rather than to institute
reform on the spot 1t proceeds to ap-
point a commission, and on the stump
its orators will proclaim the wonderful
things that these commissions will do.
As matter of fact, they will simply
do nothing. and any recommendations
that they may make will be disregarded.
When the people clamor for a revision
of the tariff downward the republicans
appoint s2oo,ooO commission to justify
the Aldrich bill.
When 1t was seen that the property of
a railroad must be valued before rates
can be intelligently established, COM
mission was appointed to consider the
subject.
When the high cost of living became
urgent and threatening another commits.
sion was appointed.
When Baliinger needed a coat of white
wash commission was appointed to see
that he gets it.
And it may be still another commission
will be appointed to investigate national
extravaganza.
These attempts to fool all the people
all the time up at least to the day of
election in 1912 will certainly miscarry
These evasions of duty and farcical in
vestigations will deceive none except
those who prefer to be deceived for par
tisan reasons.
