Which Side of the
Fence
Are You On?

During the past few years,
the industrial progress and
growth of this country has
been nothing short of mar
Vicious. The increase in the
population of our large cities
has been tremendous. AS as
consequence, the consuming
or non-producing population
IS increasing much faster than
the producing population,
lhls condition has upset the
economic ratio of supply and
demand, especially in the case
of agricultural food products
meat, milk and butter, and
prices have gone to an almost
unheard of level.
The consumer pays the
bills. The producer reaps
the benefit. He has the adj
vantage.
If you are a consumer, why
don't you turn producerY In
stead of letting the high cost
of living prove a hardship,
why don't you turn it into a
real opportunity?
If you don't get a good
start on the road to Indepen=
denceville, now, while the go=
ing is good, you can't blame
anybody but yourself. Your
Uncle Sam will give you q
farm. The rest is up to you,
1t won't cost you anything
to post up. Let me send you
a copy of our Free Govern
ment Lands folder. 1t con-
tains a lot of information that
is interesting and valuable,
some of which may surprise

The Stilwell scandal echoed in The

Senator Anthony j. Griffin and Henry
Salant, who was the only Progressive
member Of the Senate until he was
ousted by recount of the votes OF the
18th District. nearly came to blows in
the corridor OF the county courthouse.
The two men had been trying cases in
the courthouse. and late In the after
noon they met in the corridor, where. it
is declared, Salant remarked to Griffin:
well, we put Stilwell away, and
now we will go after the twenty eight
men who voted for him."
Griffin took this as an attack upon
himself for voting for Stilwelrs ac-
ouittal. and retorted that Salant was
a cur" Salant retorted sharply.
whereupon, It is said, Griffin attempted
to strike him. but was restrained by
several friends who were with him.

count Of the conviction OF a man,
whose name was given as William

Charles c. Mott, Jr., Assistant District

Investigating Committee Starts
In at Charleston, w. Va.,
by Summoning Mill
tary Authorities.
OPERATORS FILE BRIEFS
Deny Charges in Toto and At
tribute Violence in the
Colliery Districts to
Alleged Labor
Conspiracy.
[By telegram 20 III. Trlbun. I

Charleston, w. Va, June 10.-The
committee endowed by the United
States Senate with plenary authority
10 investigate charges that the right
OF habeas corpus and other civil proc
esses had been suspended in West Vir-
gInia began work here tonight by
summoning before il the military
authorities and demanding the records
Of proceedings since the declaration of
martial law in the colliery districts.
In behalf Of the coal operators two
long preliminary statements were filed
with the committee. one for the opera
tors generally and the other for the
Paint Creek Galleries Company.
Each denied in detail the charges of
peonage made in the Kern resolution
passed by the Senate sanctioning the
inquiry.
The operators declared flatfooted
that they expected to prove that the
murderous violence in the Paint Creek
and Cabin Creek districts for more
than a year was due TO the alleged
conspiracy. on charges OF which nine
teen officials Of the United Mine Work.
ers Of America were indicted on Satur-
day by federal grand jury.
The operators further asserted they
would prove that firearms and am
munitlon were brought into the state
for use in acts OF lawlessness and
violence, which were designed to keep
the Paint Creek and Cabin Creek mines
idle, and prevent shipments of coal
therefrom until the United Mine Work
ers OF America should be recognized" !"
The statement presented by the Paint
Creek Galleries Company made similar
denials and similar charges.
Through a mistake the subppnas
issued this afternoon for militia officers
we're not made returnable until to-
morrow morning, and the officers did
not appear at the night session.
Eyewitness Testifies.
J. Bruce Reid, a Charleston news
paper man. was the first witness to
testify. He was in the Paint Creek
section last June. At Mucklow. he said,
he saw bullet holes in houses. where no
was told striking miners had attacked
mine guards.
Reid said he had seen one OF the find
ings Of the military commission which
sentenced a miner TO. seven years in
the penitentiary for swearing at mill
tary officer. The miner was later re-
leased. Reid also saw fifty or sixty
men on trial at the same time for par
ticipation In the battle of Mucklow."
They were charged with conspiracy to
murder, and twelve OF them were sent
to Jail. These. with all other prison.

THE TRUEST HERO.

A STORY is told of some soldiers
"A who were experiencing a very
heavy rifle fire in their first battle.
One Of the men watching his comrade
at his side, said: You're a coward;
I can see your knees shake The
other replied: Its true, I'm scared,
but if you were half as much scared
as L am, you'd have bolted long ago."
The man was probably right; for tn 'e
is a kind of bravery which consists
in sheer bull blindness to danger that
calls for no real heroism because the
man simply feels no fear. And the
man who is afraid but who is kept
in line of battle by his determination
not to play the coward has the
greater bravery.
All along the way we meet suca
men and women. people who are
daily facing things which brighten
them, but which they continue to
overcome because within them is the
spirit Of the hero. They get little
recognition, for often the things they
fear hold no fear for most Of US, but
they are building up their characters
none the less. It may be that the
thing that frightens a man is what
the people he knows will say of his
acts, and that pursuing his course he
finds there is little to dread. He has
won his victory none the less, and
he has learned that man who
stands out for the thing in which he
believes, no matter how much he
trembles. has half won his battle in
taking the stand.

CANADA STILL ADVANCING.

ID Y A VOTE of $4,000 to 5000 the
~ people of Toronto voted On jan
uary LIST in favor Of instructing the
legislature of Ontario to enact a
measure allowing improvements to be
taxed at lower rate than land
values. The great popular interest
that was taken in the matter is evil
dent from the fact that city officials
were elected at the same time and
the total vote on the head Of the
ticket was $1,000.
The majority in favor of taking this
first step toward the single tax in the
most important city of Canada is four
to one of those voting thereon and
is two-thirds of the entire number
voting at the election.
The vote is only advisory, since
Toronto does not yet have home rule
in taxation. But it shows the trend
Of public sentiment in a city that has
been a Tory stronghold. It is a
strong hint to Sir James Whitney,
Ontario's Tory premier, that he was
wrong when he recently declared that
there is no public demand for exemp-
ton of improvements or for home
rule in taxation.
It is evident that eastern Canada
is profiting by the example Of the
progressive provinces Of the west.

Strange Friends of Bill.
The attitude Of certain members
OF the legislature also, whose afhlia-
tons are we'll known, is such as to-
clearly put one on his guard, lest
we discover too late that all that
glitters as public utilities measure
is not the pure gold of state control.

Senator Murray claims that his
measure is intended to aid cities in,
keeping public service corporations
out of city politics. He, however,
fails to calculate that there is even
more danger in his bill putting them
into state politics.
The public utilities commission may
serve some good purpose, but the
people Of the cities Of this state
should consider we'll before surrend-.

state of Minnesota.
The people of Duluth are fully ca

manner as Senator Murray proposes
the state shall deal with them.

sCABBING ON A MULE

A railroad man being unemployed,
Became detected, sad;
He journeyed through the yards for
work,
But none was to be had.
He WENT down to the packing house
And mingled with the flock
OF workingmen who gather
Every morning on the dock.
A foreman quickly spotted him;
Said he. II think you'll do"
Then introduced him to a truck
That weighed ton or two.
He worked and tugged away till noon,
Then gave up in despair;
His limbs were sore, no longer
Could he stand the wear and tear.
He straightway to the foreman went
And asked him for his time;
Said he, ITO work a man like this
Is nothing but d crime. ~.
And he who tackles such Job
g Is just q downright fool. sss

now and then has progressive measure been enacted
into law, and when it passed, it was progressive
only in title and make-shift in detail.
At the last election the people again came into
their own and succeeded in eecting sufficient num-
Der of members of progressive thought the house of
representatives to insure the through house
of all reasonable up-to-date measures which the
people are vitality interested.
The state senate, however, is still, by small
majority apparently controlled by the privileged classes
and because Of this fact the suffrage bill was
defeated on Tuesday,
Senator George H. Sullivan of Saltwater the man
VINO at the opening of this session played the gal
lerles IN support of a motion to have the members
OF the senate choose the standing committees of that
very popular move-lead the opposi-
ton to the suffrage bill. The on this measure
indicates that mistake made when the commit
disappointing for this session at least kept
IN the hands of the lieutenant governor.
Minnesota will day be in the suffrage column
OF states This is foregone conclusion. reasonable
number OF people would like to have opportunity to
vote on the proposition. They in dead earnest
about it, and the senators who voted against the
measure last Tuesday will be called upon to do some
explaining when they present themselves if they dare
