Chicago, March s.-Former Secre-

Dissrm;ns striker; "Mothsr1 Jones.

Charleston, ". Va, March S.-Since
martial law was declared in the strike
zone in the Kanawha coal regions
early last week nearly 200 men have
been arrested either for rioting or in
citing riot. These men are being tried
before military court.
Wholesale arrests, however, have not
put an end to the rioting. Only the
presence Of the militia prevents
wholesale destruction of life and prop
erty. The miners who have been on
strike since early last fall have grown
desperate. While their families are
suffering from hunger and cold, strike
breakers have taken the places which
they once filled in the mines.
Among those under arrest is
Mother Jones, friend of miners
everywhere, who. always takes an ac-
tive part in every miners strike. She
is charged with melting riot and with
completely in the killing of Fred Bob
bott,3 slain in the recent battle be-
tween mine guards and strikers at
MuckIow, in the Kanawha coal dis
trict.
Mother Jones' arrest came after
police had driven a crowd Of miners
from the state capitol. 1t is alleged
that in a fiery speech she urged the
strikers to buy guns and take" the
capitol.
Striking miners say they will not
give up the struggle until they starve
or secure the raise in wages which
they ask.

WHITE SOX IN CLOVER:

The Chicago White Sox in training
camp at Paso Robes, Cal, are repos-
ing for the nonce in the welI-known
lap of luxury. They've got a nice,
lovely, gold edged hand embroidered
pipe. Their mode of life while work
ing out the kinks might be likened to
a bed of tulips, which is just as soft
as a bed of roses. Old Andy Carne-
gle and his set have little on them in
the matter of opulence. Lean your ear
toward this:
The entire Huntington hotel has
been turned over 10 them since it has
not yet opened for the season. Every
player in the bunch has his choice of
suites, handsomely fitted out with ma
hogany bedsteads, and all that goes
with them.
They will nourish themselves at
neighboring hotel where they are cor
daily invited to stow away all the
swell food they can bolt. The en-
tire grounds and gardens at the Hunt
ington hotel are at their disposal and
they can just make themselves at
home. Kind of poor-wot?
Even So it does seem that there will
be lots of things lacking in such a
schedule. A high-priced balIplayer
should be shown as much consfdera-
ton as an actor or grand opera star.
What if)they did used to be butchers
boys, they should be carefully looked
after, nevertheless. Only now are
club owners coming to realize this.
The time is not far off when a squad
setting out for the south will be ac-
companied by a large retinue OF cup
bearers, serfs and other attendants.

have a valet. Also private physician.

Miss Singer, a wealthy young wom-
an, was beaten to death in south

SUCCESSFUL PARCEL POST.

It is from the express companies that the best evidence comes of the benefit of parcel post to the people of the United States. When those great corporations, which have long been paying handsome dividends, ad init that they have been hard hit by the inauguration of the new service on the part of Uncle sam. it is an appeal for sympathy, but at the same time it shows the public that the ser vice which has been given them by i, the companies was at exorbitant rate, and not as efficient as the post office department is now providing. It is the reduction in the cost and the improvement in the service which the government gives over the companies, which brings the latter to the realiza- ton of their position. The saving to the public and the business houses is tremendous and even at the present rates the government is finding 1t most profitable venture.
 The experiment is a, success. There was the experience of other countries tenn has reached such proportions and promises so much for the future that it is due to contribute heavily to in ereasing the efficiency of the depart ment in all its branches. both as to increasing the employees. bettering the rates and increasing the facilities for the handling of the mail.

THE INCOME TAX

The income tax is, like any tax. de- pendent upon the amount which must be raised. It is indicated therefore that the democratic cut in the tariff is to be to the depths. when instead of placing the tax on incomes over 5000 it has been found necessary to include all those over s4,0o0. with a varying rate as the incomes increase in amount. By this method the rev enue for the operation of the govern ment is obtained from the Norwich citizens of the country instead of from importers who do business with for eign manufacturers who fail to equal the wage rate which is maintained in American industries. From the mill Honaires large amount of the tax will be received annually, running per haps to ten million. while the corpor- at1ons will be large contributors to the necessary one hundred or one hun dred and fifty million which it is de- sired to obtain.
 Big corporation heads. many poli- ticians and office holders, brokers many professional men and special 1sts, stage stars and musicians, pro- motors and farmers will figure in the list of a third to a half million people who will find a place on the tax list They are the ones who are going to make the slashing possible. Their tax will not be burdensome inasmuch as It IS levied upon the income in excess of S4,0OO, that amount of all incomes being exempt. It is the men of wealth who are best able to meet it. who will be the heavy taxpayers but with out the income tax tariff revision would be far different proposition.

CHANCE FOR DEVELOPMENT.

Naturally 1t would be expected that the countries making up Latin Amer lea would draw a large share of their imports from this country because of the proximity to this large market and in many instances this is true
 but there are many instances where the lack of facilities for such trade sends it to Europe. Exports from the United States to Mexico. Central and South America, Cuba, Haiti and San Domingo will approximate a million dollars for each business day of the fiscal year, which means a tripling of the business of a decade ago. but while these exports show a marked increase the share which they form of the total exports to that area has not increased in recent years. That is while the trade with those countries has shown a gain, it has not maintained it's rel atiVe position in comparison with the full and increased importation of goods which make up the commerce of those countries.
 With facilities for direct intercom- munication and transportation being responsible for the amount of trade which is carried on between these countries, it is apparent that instead of there being a decrease of three per cent. or over. in the proportionate amount of imports secured from the United States, there should be estab-
 ished means for as great if not greater increase in our share Of that trade. This goes where the best fla cilities are afforded and as some of them have more frequent communi- cation with Europe than with this country we lose. Business develop ment has an outlet in this direction

Let Them starve if They Want To.

MT. Editor: So the British courts have finally decided to take a hand, and shut Mrs. Emeline Pankhurst where she will do no more damage to the property of law abiding citizens, dc no more damage to the cause of woman suffrage and do no more to generally lessen the respect due the sex of which she is an apparent dis grace. l say apparant for the reason that she may be what she acts like, an insane person-and if so she should be treated with-the greatest charity.
 If she is as some openly assert an enemy of woman suffrage she has most certainly acted in manner that has done more to injure the cause, than all other known advocates for or against put together.
 There is some difference between the equal suffrage as represented by Mrs Carrie Chapman Catt, and hun dreds of others I could mention and, this criminal who has been lightly sentenced, and who says she will try the starvation game again. By all means Uncle John Bull. let her try the starvation act to the limit, give her all it is possible to allow q convict and keep giving it to her, but for the sake of womanhood please dear MT John Bull don't force her to eat 1t.
