BAER AND STRIKES.

Strikes began with Genesis. They
originated at the beginning of the
world Cain was the first striker and
he killed Abel because Abel was the
more prosperous fellow
These words of Gods trustee
George F. Baer, president of the hard
coal trust and leader of the anthracite
operators, contrast most notably with
the recent news story of the killing OF
an innocent by-stander, a youth Of 16
years of age, by the state constabulary
of Pennsylvania, in riot arising from
the attempt of Baer and his fellows
to use non-union men to break the ali
thracite strike.
1t wasn't the first case of shooting
in the riots. Saturday the boy was
killed. Friday two foreigners were
shot. Wednesday three men and one
woman were victims of the conStab-
ulary bullets. In very case strikers,
sympathizers, or bystanders were
victims.
The second statement in George F.
Baers creed, tells the why" of this
shooting to enforce his determination
not to raise wages. Said Baer, some
time ago:
THE rights and interests of the
lahoring man will be looked afte- and
cared for, not by the agitators, but
by Christian men to whom God in
His infinite wisdom has given con-
troll of the property interests OF the
country"
Into the hands of Baer, then, has
been delivered not only the vast coal
fields of Pennsylvania, by means of
which he exploits mans suffering and |
fear of cold, but, forsooth, the very |
lives of those who must dig for him |
that coal. An they like it not, there
yet is worse in store for them.
THE man in authority Baer once
said, who fails to enforce the law
is an irreverent man and in the eyes
of God will be held responsible for any
crimes committed"
Thus branding the striker as a
murderer and proclaiming himself
Gods trustee; thus condemning with
one word any who do not vigorously
enforce the laws he and his friends
have secured through VIGOROUSLY
corrupt state legislature, and giving
himself plenary absolution, stands
George F. Baer, SNUG, satisfied, pro-
ected by the armor of his transcend
ng religion" Different that from
We are all sons of one father"

killed more American soldiers dur

ST. PETERSBURG, May 15.-"Holy
, Rasputin, self-styled priest, mystic,
faith healer and prophet, whose power
and influence in social, political, cleri-
cal and court circles in st. Petersburg
reached almost incredible height, is on
his way back to his Siberian home
from whence he started by a short
time since as plain Gregor Rasputin,
peasant farmer He was ordered exiled
to Siberia after an amazing career in

an end at it's very height by the douma

an inquiry as to his power and in
fuence in high circles.
| Rasputin recalls the career of the ia
nous French hypnotist, Phillip, who
attained an unbelievable sway in Rus
sion court circles as a result of his
alleged mysterious powers, until the
opposition to him finally became so
great that he was hastily hustled away.
Holy" Rasputin, as he was known,
was discovered" by generates

army He cured disease by faith and
prayers; he could foresee the future
and tell the past He had SeveEgali

ed women particularly. He was a
mystic such as every large American
city has half dozen or more.
Rasputin's fame grew until he he !
came the fad" and rage" in high So
ciety 1t penetrated the most exclusive
court circles and there was keen riv-
airy to be known as his protector or
"protectress" until he had attained |
such influence and power that he
turned the tables and was prayed to
as protector" and father"
Climax Of Power.
The ''holy" man began to NEEDLE in
politics and church affairs Any one
who sought preferment, promotion,
rank or position tried to see the fan
atical mystic. Through his women fol-
lowers he kept remarkably well posted
on what was going on in high official
circles. He was the "star" in the ex-
elusive drawing rooms. The climax
to his power came when he plunged
the popular Bishop Hermogen, one of
the princes of the Russian church,
from his position, and succeeded.
Rasputin also is credited with having :
caused much trouble in the ministry !
Strange tales are still told of his pc
,lliar influence over women. Those
who desired to be cured of disease or
purified had to present themselves
before him entirely nude
The fall of Bishop Hermogan caus-

louma demanded an Interpolation of

Scandalous stories began to be circu

Rasputin's career and fall calls at

VOTE OF CONFIDENCE.
Passes the French Chamber of Depu-
ties by 40 to g..

Paris, Jan. 16.-The chamber of depu-
ties this afternoon passed a vote of
confidence in the government.
A ministerial declaration setting forth
the policy of the new French cabinet
was read in the chamber today by
Premier Poincare and in the senate by
Minister of Justice BRAND.
The declaration insists that France
intends to remain faithful to her alli-
ances and friendship and that to be
strong and respected she must have a
government that really governs
The first duty of the government ac-
cording to the declaration will be that
of ratifying the F'ranco-German record
on the subject of Morocco and nego-
tlating loyal accord with Spain This
Will permit France speedily to organ
ize her protectorate over Morocco
which is the logical climax of Frances
African policy. The ministry saw that
the cabinet desires changes in the cleo
toral law granting proportional repre-
sentatlon to the political parties
The development of the workmen pen
sion scheme is favored in the declaration
1t promises to defend the public schools
against all aggression, urges rigorous
economy and the granting of assistance to
the country'S commercial activity
In conclusion the declaration saws that
the STRENGTHENING of the army and the
navy will receive special attention.
France is profoundly pacific, but she
is not the master of all eventualities.
1.-The army and navy must remain the
sacred defenders of the republic and the
fatherland." it reads
