Onthe Spur ofthe Moment



Lemuel Soggo. the eminent canine
fancier. has bred daschund which IN
the observed OF all observers. It 10
said to be the longest daschund In
the world. The daschund can wslk
around the barn and bite his own tail
In fact. when he 10 walking around
the barn he can hardly get out OF his
own way. When Mr.. Soggs ptnches
the dogs tail the sensation does not
reach the dogs brain until the next
day. and he 10 occasionally heard to
howl when there is apparently nothing
happening TO him. In other words.
the dogs tall could be chopped on
and he wouldn't hear about II for
twenty.four hours. Mrs. SoESs intends
to train the dog for use as q clothes
line. She is trying to teach him to
hang onto one post with his Jaws and
onto another post with his tail. One
trouble with the dog seems to be that
he drags on the ground considerably
for a portion Of his length. Mr.. Soggs
hopes to overcome this by making
some supporting .pillara to the Dot
toms Of which roller skates will be
attached. so that they will slide over
the ground easily when the dog Is In
motion. These skates will be attach.
ed to the under side OF the dog. 1t
takes the dog twenty minutes to pass
q given point; almost as long. in fact.
as it takes President Taft to do the
same. and the only way to battle the
animal is to have him run
back and forth under pump.

taken from an address he delivered N
1905, Professor James notes that the
cry has been raised that IL the repre-
sentatives cannot trust the people the
people cannot trust their representa-
tives. This, he argues. involves a fatal
fallacy," because the people are more
accustomed to study human nature
than they are to study the details Of
a human measure. Then he avs down
these propositions: Government by
the people does not mean that each
citizen must perform each function
of government In the affairs of life
there must be division OF labor
government is merely
a recognition of that economic prin-
cipie. This palpable fallaey (above

Our excellent parks which lie In or

Thoroughly valuable to the city. OUT
they should be as largely supplemented

is a demonstrated fact that the city
which has open spaces widely ais

healthier than the city when 10 So
co,xested that it has few open places.
The public health phase Of parks, In

To the Editor OF The Times-Dfspatch:
sir.-Ih view OF President Taft's un.
plan OF currency reform, il becomes
necessary TO defend the action OF the
Democratic party IN condemning that
iniqustous scheme. And the most eff
fectiye defense 10 to expose the false
theory on which this plan 10 based.
This theory asserts that after the
crops are moved. interior bankers have
more money than they can ind use for
at home, and SO they send II to New
York to be invested in per cent call
loans Then in the fall Of the follow
ing year this money has to be called
home to move the crops.

Some oogle-hoogle, lovesick songs.

THE MINERS
STRIKE THE
FIRST BLOW


Cleveland, o., March 29.-Presldent
White, of the United Mine Workers,
today struck the first blow at the op-
orators, when he ordered an immedi--
ate suspension Of all anthracite coal
mining. Not blow will be struck in
a mine until the eferendum has
shown whether or not the men are
prepared to 90 on strike.
Whites order suspending all an
thracite operations followed an appar-
emily final failure Of all negotiations
between the operators and miners.
The miners referendum will deter
mine whether the suspension Of opera
tions will become a strike to enforce
the demands of the anthracite miners
who number 10000. It will require
at least a month to take the vote.
The principal demand Of the anthra-
cite men is fora 20 per cent increase
in wages
The operators Of the bituminous
fields are considering a compromise
proposition which the miners sub
mitted to joint conference before
Whites suspension Of anthracite ac-
tivities was ordered An agreement
is unexpected by both sides.
The compromise plan valves the
demand for seven hour day and a
full days pay for five hours work on
Saturday. It asks Ave cents a ton
increase on screened lump instead Of
the original demand for 10 cents a
ton on the run-of-mine basis. The
wage demand submitted today equals
three cents a ton on the run-of-mine
basis. A proportionate increase is
asked for day labor
II is reported the Illinois opera
tors have accepted such a compro-
mise.
II is believed that Whites sudden
action in the anthracite dispute will
make the situation in the btumlnous
region more acute.
Miners here predict that the an
thracite miners@wlll vote in favor of
a strike.
