Union Orders 10000 Miners to Quit

Cleveland, O.-The first step toward
a %stoppage in coal production in the
United States as a result of the
miners wage disputes was taken when
the union ordered 10000 miners in
the anthracite regions of Pennsylvania
to quit work. The suspension was or
dered because of the operators refusal
to grant the union demands for in.
creased pay. The shutting down OF
the miner, according to union officials,

of secret conference, that there are
private arrangements and they do
not understand it. They want to
concentrate their force somewhere.
They are like an unorganized army
saying the thing is wrong. Where
shall we congregate? How shall we
organize? Who are the captains?
Where are the orders? Which is
the direction? Where are the in
struments of government? That is
what they are waiting for.
Il am accused of being radical.
If to seek to 90 to the root is to be
radical, d radical am. After all,
everything that flowers in beauty
in the air of heaven draws its fair
ness, its vigor, from its roots. Moth
ing living can blossom into fruit
age unless through nourishing
stalks deep-planted in the common
soil. Up from that soil, up from
the silent bosom of the earth, rise
the currents of life and energy. Up
from the common soil, up from the
heart of the people rise joyfully
to day streams of hope and de-
termination bound to renew the
face of earth in glory.
Il tell you the so-called radical
ism of our times is simply the ef-
fort of nature to release the gener-
Gus energies of our people. This
great American people is at bottom
just, virtuous and hopeful; the roots
of its being are in the soil of what
is lovely, pure and of good report;
and the need of the hour is just
radicalism that will clear a way for
the realization of the aspirations
of a sturdy race"
No one can listen to Woodrow
Wilson and see the emotions of the
audiences of earnest men who hang
upon his words without feeling that
he is witnessing the beginning of a
political revolution. and that is

which the people have an instinct.

The Ideal Newspapers.

Occasionally it becomes the duty
of a practical editor to give to the
very intelligent and impractical
people who are always demanding
an ideal newspaper a very common
sense reason why it will never be
published.
And the reason is based on a
few questions like these:
Has anybody ever seen or heard
of an ideal minister?
Has anybody ever seen or heard
of an ideal college president?
Has anybody ever seen or heard
of ar ideal doctor?
Has anybody ever seen or heard
of an ideal banker?
Has anybody ever seen or heard
of an ideal lawyer?
Has anybody ever seen or heard
of an ideal merchant?
We are decidedly of the opinion
that loud and emphatic no" is
the answer to each question.
Why?
Because the representatives Of
the callings named are all human,
with the usual number virtues and
faults. And editors. being human
are in the same class. Therefor {
when the world is peopled by an.
gels and the newspapers are con-
trolled by archangels, we shall see
the ideal newspaper, and not until
then.-Boston Globe.

The Road Question.

Mr. Editor:-The rural people of
Missouri are much interested in
good roads. and how to get money
to make them. The laws at pres
ent place the matter too far away
from the people. and cause great
deal of the money raised by taxa
ton to never reach the roads. What
we need is a law that will put the
money right back on the road, so
it will benefit the man who pays
the taxes.
The members of our State Legis-
lature should be kindly petitioned
to make US a road law as simple
and as practical as our present
school law.
With the school as a model:
/, Make every school district a
road district.
2. The board of directors to hire
a man or men to do all the road
work in the school district, and pay
for the same by warrant,
3. A tax of Is cents on the 500
valuation, with the privilege of rails
ing this tax as high as $1.00 on the
I$1OO valuation for road purposes,
at the annual school meeting.
4. A tax of from 10c to 20 on
the 500 valuation to remain with
the County Court for permanent
road and bridge funds.
| 5. All road tax and other mon
eys belonging to roads to be given
to the several school districts as
our school money is at present.
6. That the Office Of Highway
Engineer be abolished except in
such counties as desire them by a
majority vote of the peoples of said
counties.
If the people are allowed to tax
themselves so that money will come
into their own school districts, we
will soon have good roads every
where. County Courts will be parti.
ally released from a burden. and
people will cease to beg for money
that is already theirs by taxation.
We will not have to organize spec

he proved that he had not forgotten
how to make a Democratic speech
The average American is a polit.
ical goat and knows it. He is in
the wilderness. He is loaded with
the sins of a pampered class. He
has been wearing the collar Of

choose, or the limit. $1.OO on the

Do not give US interest-bearing
bonds to make a few automobile

we will make all roads automobile

to take this matter up and discuss

The Man Who Furnishes His Home


What man wouldn't prefer to ex-
ercise his own judgment and fur
nish his home in the manner that
allows him to express his own per-
sonal ideas. rather than rent house
fitted out by somebody else's taste?
The same way with clothes.
The advantages offered by a
tailor who permits each customer
to display his individuality, and
order his clothes only to please
himself must be well weighed
against the ready-mades. what you
have to take as they come.

A Characteristic Wilson Speech.

William Bayard Hale writing of
Woodrow Wilson says:
He speaks without notes. His
voice is full, rich and far-carrying.
He gestures freely. His utterance
flows easily in clean cut channels
and goes home in clear, strong SEN
fences. He is a master of state
ment; his brain works as if it had
been taken out, cleaned and oiled
: that day. 1t was no exceptional
testimonial that was given by a
laborer of Cataret, N. j., who went
out of the hall saying: He handed
out a crackerjack line of talk, all
right"
Then he gives the following ex-
cerpt from one of Wilson's recent
speeches. which he terms charac-
teristeric speech:
We have been calling our Gov
eminent a republic and we have
been living under the delusion that
it is "a representative government.
That is theory. But the fact is that
we are not living under represen-
tative government; we are living
under government of party bosses
who in a secret conference and for
their private ends determine what
we shall and shall not have. The
first, the immediate thing that we
got to do is to restore representa-
tive government. There has got to
be popular rebellion for the re-
conquest and Resumption by the
people of the rights of the people,
too long surrendered. We have got
to revolutionize our political ma
chinery. first of all. am a radical
and the first element of my radi-
calism is. let's 90 at the root of the
whole thing and resume popular
government. Let's make possible
the access of the people to the exc
cution of their purposes.
Il tell you the people of this
state and this country are deter
mined at last to take over the con-
troll of their own politics. We are
going to cut down the jungle in
which corruption turks. We are
going to drag things into the light,
break down private understandings
and force them to be public under
standings We mean to have the
kind of government we thought
we had.
1T is time that we served notice
on the men who have grown up in
the possession of privileges and
bounties that the existing order of
things is to be changed. 1t is only
fair that we warn them, for they
should have time to adjust them
selves to the change; but the change
must come nevertheless. And this
change is not a revolution, let it be
understood at once. 1t is merely a
restoration.
DO you know what the American
people are waiting for gentlemen?
They are waiting to have their pol
itics utterly simplified. They are
realizing that our politics are full

AUTOS FOR ARMY POSTS.
Two Purchased for West Point and
Two for Manila.

Pursuing the policy of adopting motor
trucks in its service, the United States
government has purchased four Alec
trucks. two Of which will be employed in
army activities at the West Point post
and the others in salvage work in tn,
fire department at Manila.
One of. the machines for West Point is
Of three and one-half tons capacity. II
is fitted with a stake body and is used
to haul hay, straw. oats and so on for the
horses stabbed at the post. 1t also trans
ferS materials used in the maintenance
of the different buildings.
The other truck, of two tons rating, is
equipped with a self-dumping body and
hauls coal from the railroad to the diff
ferent buildings at the post.
Both of these trucks have a particu-
larry hard test. as there is a II per cent
grade, which means a continuous climb
from either direction In approaching the
army post According to the government
requirements the trucks have to ascend
the hill with capacity load at speed
OF six miles per hour.
II Is interesting TO note in this con-
nection that the trucks will be standard
