history REPEATING ITSELF

A nationwide strike of English
coal operators is about to begin. One
British writer has spoken of it as "the
greatest national disaster in our his.
tory" but as matter OF fact the con-
dition parallels that in England dur
ing the latter half of the fourteenth
century, when all the power of ling
and lords and parliament and wealth
was brought to bear to preserve the
old order which made the great mass
of Englishmen virtual slaves That
resistance of authority and OF law
made modern England.
The working people are now aroused
for the overthrow of that serfdom
which subjects them to organized and
dominant wealth. The real issue is
the same which in this country is
prompting congress to begin a prob
ing of the money trust.
1t would be as difficult now to mark
the exact route to be travelled as it
would have been in the fourteenth cen
tury, but that there must come ont Of
the conflict a more perfect balancing
Of the individual and of organized So
clety no person can doubt who has

THE CONGRESSIONAL PROBLEM

The Press has on several ocCa-
sions referred to the question of suit
able candidates for congress from this
district, and it has adhered to the be-
lief that the most available and suit
able man for the Office is E. P. Clarke,
editor of the Riverside Press, who has
repeatedly refused to enter the con.
test.
1t looks, however, as though Francis
Cuttle was in a fair way to get the
nomination. and Mr.. Cutie, if chosen,
would undoubtedly make capable con.
gressman. He has for twenty-four
years been in the service of the River
sioe Water Company, as zanjero, su-
perirtendent and president, and has
been for years identified with the ma
tional irrigation and conservation
movement. He is a progressive in
idea and works, and being a man Of
strong personality, he has a generous
supply of friends and enemies-as all
strong men have.
The process of elimination is ap-
parently pointing to Mr. Cutie for
nomination, and the Eleventh district
could do a great deal worse than Sc
lect him.

Is the hysterical in religion re-
ally worth while? A man in Erie,
Pa, is reported to have lost his
mind as the result of religious
frenzy induced by Rev. BILLY"
Sundays line of sensational pull
piteering. Hardly a day passes
that some similar lamentable oc.
currence is not brought to public
attention. The average evangel-
ist is by nature an extremist. He
works upon the gullibilisy, the
fear and superstition of the weak
minded, without thought of the
possible consequences. 1t is a
serious question whether the sem
sationalists ofthe pulpit do not do
vastly more harm than good.
