almost all of whom can point to some
other part Of the nation and say,
fondly, "Grandfather came from

Illinois is printed in various col
ors on the map, but as a matter of
fact, IL a deep black state, with a
ten-foot soil. which can raise 20
foot corn-stalks, and can put an in
dtistrious farmer into the automobile

cent political exposures, however,
the state has been a blushing pink,
ornamented with yellow spots and
White and Brown outbreaks. Two
generations ago, the state gave Lin
coin, Grant, Logan and Douglas to
the nation, but the statesmen vein
has been pinching out ever since
Illinois Is the third state in the

the United States brought home u
The public mind rather foreibly what
would happen in case of worldwide
strike Suppose such strike should
affect only the one industry of coal
mining, Il danger seeming aNefted
for the time being but which may
recur in future in aggravated form,
Most industries now depend on coal
aud would have 70 ahuf down In case
OF coal famine, ms has actually
happened in England. y worldwide
strike would mean in all probability
that everywhere these Industries
would stop.
The consequence would be stag
gering. The food supply would be
cut off, countless millions IN all
lands would be thrown out OF em-
ployment, financial panics would on
sue, and possibly political upheavals
and even revolutions would result
Suffering from cold and huager
would be Widespread Commerce
would be paralgzad, aud the intri-
cate machinery OF modern ,iytiiza
ton would be thrown out Of gear
lhat such universal strike may
occur, either iii coal mining or In
SOME other line almost equally vital,
is believed Is NEST Ut those who
have studied the situation. The
labor unions are becoming interna-
tienaf in scope, and the ties that
bind the workers in different trades
and different countries are drawing
closer year by year
IN case the unions ever taae up NJ
line Of political activity as many Ut
them have already taken up social
ism, especially in Germany, thai
worldwide strike might he ordered
for the express purpose of affecting
politics. 1t might be a worldwide
demonstration for higher wages or
shorter hours Ii might be an effort
10 compel universal recognition OF
the unions Il might be any one of
q dozen ;hlngs 10 improve the lot OF
the workers. But when it came the
whole world would be al its mercy
The laboring men themselves notl
only recognize the possibility OF Al
worldwide strike, but many of them
advocate it as 4 necessary step in
their progress. If a strike in one
industry could happen in so many
lands, as did this coal strike, and
that apparently without any pre-
effort, what might occur
If there were deliberate campaign
to that end?
Yet perhaps we have enough pres
ent worries without borrowing from
the future and should adopt the
motto, II am an old man and has :
had many troubles. but most of them
never happened"
