homeless by the Hymelia crevasse
waters, are being fed and housed at
the United States naval station at
New Orleans.
Several hundred Others are being
cared for at other nearby points. Tho
flood waters about the suburbs are
gradually receding. Mike Walsh. a
half-breed Cherokee and his squaw
were rescued yesterday from raft on
which they had foated from Southern
Oklahoma. Walsh could speak but
little English, but indicated, TO his
rescuers that when the Hoods visited
his state several weeks ago he ana
his squaw were forced to seek refuge
on the raft and, with small amount
of food, had remained on it ever
since. The mans leg had been trac-
tured, and both he and the squaw
were in half-starved condition.

But Jimmy was not the one to sit

Signaling Frances to follow, he swag-

too, held out short, fat hand to the

The speaker smiled benignly down
upon them; lifting them up in his

SAW WOOD AND NINE COAL.

The mine workers and mine owners
owe It to the people of the United
States TO get together in the matter of
wages before the present contract ex-
pires SO that the work OF mining coal
shall 60 forward. Coal is one of the
essentials of civilization. II is like
certai2 articles that are considered
necessities in times of war. Without
coal under the present condition OF af-
fairs the world would become paralyz-
ed. Railroads cannot run trains, shops
and mills cannot operate, cities cannot
be lighted, steam cars cannot be pro-
PEELED. houses cannot be warmed, and
II II is an entire coal famine, the poor
viii freeze. and the sick will die for
lack OF care.
Under these circumstances the peo-
pie who operate mines and the work
ers who mine coal hold n responsible
obligation to the public, and no matter
what the wages may be or what the
outcome OF the scale regulations may
amount 20, the two parties In interest
should see that the world Is supplied
with Its most necessary article - the
coal which God has given for the use
OF mankind. Don't stop the supply.

ARE ACCIDENTS ACCIDENTS?

The telegraphic report brings the
information of another bad accident,
this time on the New York Central
railroad, caused from a broken rail
In which the fast limited train pitch
ed over upon the icy surface of the
Hudson river. II appears the death
loss might have been much greater
II the cars had not been prevented
from sinking by the ice.
While this is referred to as an ac-
cident, was II an accident in fact?
Was Il not a matter OF carelessness
of some employe or some one in con-
nection with the management OF this
great railroad? Who knows that the
tracks had been properly inspected9
Who Is there TO say At this time tina;
the accident could not have been
prevented II the rails had been care
fully looked after7
II IL TO be assumed in a general
way that the New York Central is
pretty careful with it's tracks and yet
this accident might have come by
absolute neglect OF ordinary precau-
tons.
There are hundreds of calamities
each year that are classed as acci-
dents caused by nothing more than
Sbsolute carelessness. For instance 4

HELP THE CHILDREN.

In Chicago, the other day, one IA
year-old girl committed suicide and
another girl, IL years Of age, ran
away from her mother to see her
father.
These two girls belonged to differ
ent families, but the reason for one
committing suicide and the reason
for the other running away, was that
their fathers and mothers had gone
divorces.
The love OF the young girl for both
her mother and father and the lack
OF peace in the family was the final
cause Of the 14-year-old girl COM
uniting suicide.
Married people who have children
should be very slow to apply for di-
vorce. 1t is bad enough for married
people to stand the notoriety and ex-
pense of the divorce courts, but those
who have children owe a great deal
not only to the state, but also to
their growing children. All this talk
about incompatibility OF tempera-
-'NAN ohN W SCI oiOhE W
gether is simply the most extreme de-
gree Of rot. 1t is not necessary for
people to be entirely compatible to
live in peace; all they have to do is
for each to respect the rights of the
other party to the sacred marriage
contract and treat that person, if
not with love. with the same respect
and consideration that they extend
to strangers or acquaintance with
whom they come in contact.
There are 100000 people in the
city Of Chicago that are not COM
patible with each other and yet they
live as individuals and as a munich
pality in peace with each other be-
cause everyone's rights are respect
ed and when any one person in
fringes seriously upon the rights OF
any other person, the offender is ar.
rested and put in Jail.
II the same idea was carried out
in the family, whether the husband
loved the wife or the wife loved the
husband, II they would treat each
other in a respectable and half way
considerate manner. then both the
father and mother could at least re,
tain the love and custody of theil
children. They have no right to
treat their life companions in a way
for which they would be arrested and
put in jail IL 1t was melted out &c

CAPITAL COMMENT

Prices were put UP on every COM
modify in common use in order to
pay interest and dividends on this
fraudulent capitalization. Therein
lies the secret of the present high
cost of living.
THE organization of these combi-
nations was in violation of the COM
mon law, for it was a criminal con-
spiracy. If, in the early stages of
trust formation, the executive had
used all the power of this great gov
eminent to enforce the antitrust
law, it would have saved the people
the payment of hundreds of millions
of dollars wrongfully taken from
them in excessive prices for the nee
essaries of life. Now the question
is, can the people free themselves
from this power? Can the unjust
burden of fraudulent capitalization
be lifted from them? That is the su-
preme ISSUE
THE TRUSTS AIM.
THE trusts are scheming to get
some action by the government which
will legalize their proceedings and
sanction their fictitious capitaliza-
ton. The situation is critical. From
the Standard Oil and tobacco trusts
decisions of the supreme court it
may be expected that upon the peo-
pie there will be fastened for all
time the speculative capitalization of
our public service and business cor
porations. The time is at hand to
declare for statute which will make
it everlastingly impossible for any
president or congress, or court, to
legalize spurious capitalization as a
basis for extortionate prices"
w. H. Taft is largely responsible
for the condition above described.

Especial Correspondence of The Argus)
Washington, March 16.-Here is
letter that every American citizen
should read. 1t was addressed to
the progressives of North Dakota by
United States Senator Robert NJ. La
Toilette:
''In % years of political struggle
have found one great issue ever
sbadowing and including all others
the encroachment of the powerful
few on the rights of the many. All
the issues of today are but phases
of this one great question. How
shall the individual, the farmer, the
worker, and all those who pay tribute
be set free from the unjust exactions
OF the tariff, the railroads, the money
power, and other forms of oppres-
sion by special interests?
1.-The combinations have unlawful
ly taken possession of the whole
country. They control transporta-
ton, manufacturing, capital and
credit, the market price of every
thing the farmer sells, the wages of
men, women and children in the fac
tories and mines, and the market
price of everything the consumer
must buy. They have achieved this
control almost entirely under the
last two administrations-ex as
to a few of the older trusts-not.
withstanding the prosecutions for
which so much has been claimed.
