BeIIigerent Rights.-Commenting
on outbreaks in the industrial war in
West Virginia, Michigan and Col
orado, the Chicago Daily News says:
Industrial war in which hundreds
suffer should without much further
delay be made impossible. Can civil
ization offer no acceptable remedy for
the stubborn disputes in which con-
citation and arbitration are either
ignored or produce no beneficial re-
suits? Here is a field that requires
the earnest attention of thoughtful
lawmakers and other persons of in
fiuence"
There is a remedy-a very simple
remedy. -
Recognize the combatants in the
Industrial war, give them equal rights
and let them fight it out.
When mine owners, for example,
are permitted to maintain private
armies of gunner to protect their
property, let the miners have full
right to arm themselves to protect
their own lives

CRIME AND PUBLICITY.

"A EURDER is not merely an affair of city MI slums, mining camps, and lonely farnhouses. Recent mysteries that detectivess newspapers and public have been trying to un- raxel have occurred in a setting of convention- altzed society Civilization and conventional living are often said to be only 8 thin veneer. Underneath is the same old human tiger of love and jealousy and passion and anger. He de- yours alike his victims, whether the fringes of civilization, or in the atmosphere of culture. Yet it is remarkable how conventional living dossEe to exclude the darker acts of human naturss Education and refinement point out to the human intelig igenee that crime brings it's own puni shment The murderer suffers 8 thousand times more than the murdered.
 3Tha greatest deterrent from crime with manly people 1s the fear of publicity. When two foreign born laborers quarrel over their sweAthearts, and one deals a deadly blow, the newspapers dismiss it in hasty paragraphs But if these e1eEdental deeds occur among socially conspicuous people, there are headlines and black type. As the human mind becomes more complex it tends to shelter itself from the eyes of the curious. It bitterly resents impertinent prying- It demands the ehahce to lead it's own life secure from observation
 This feeling receives it's sharpest shock when people of refined tastes and conventional ized habits become connected with some deadly crime One suspects that the questioning by exporters, the space in the newspapers the sor- did inspection of one's daily affairs by whole nation, is more. dreaded than even the possibiI- ftv of the electric chair. There is still enough human weakness and sin so that this publicity performs a most efficient service.

 According to the tradition which accounts for Bishop Swtthfn's vogue as a prophet the saint asked that he be buried in the common graveyard. instead of in the church. This re- quest was compiled with, but about a. the last resting place chosen by Sw1tlnin was not in keeping with the dignity attaching to the bones of bishop. When they prepared to dig up all that was mortal of Swfthin, tfe clouds poured forth a verifable deI- uge, and the rainfall continued with out fntermission for forty days.
 This legend Is very interesting, and it is an excellent example of the in-. ventive genius of a. newspaper writer of the eighteenth centliryt He was a tride careless as to the facts, how ever. for the removal Of Swithin' $ bones was accomplished with much ceremony and without any tnterfer- ence from the elements.

HEAL THE SICK AND
 PREVENT THE SICKNESS

EHE American people are rather large
 hearted The proceeds of charity entertainments are enormous. But the sweet charity of these functions is sometimes mix ed with dross the glitter of pretty girls stylish gowns, and the desire to climb socially. So they are not always true criterion of the giy- ing spirit. The real test comes when public aid is asked for some big calamity like the Sa- lem fire.
 People who canvass for such cause often find pathetic willingness to help on the part of those who thefnselves are in need of assist ance. The woman with the bare cupboard sometimes gives just as much in cash as anoth- CT with lavish dwelling, but whose means are narrowed by social competition.
 Many people will never give to any kind of cause unless they are personally solicited. And the omission is not necessarily because they have forgotten the appeal. The fear lest a solicitor size them up parsimonions infIu- ences them more than the sufferings of the
 There is an enormous amount of giving go- ing on all the time that never gets reported in the papers, nor is it found in the records of any charity society In country life the sick neigh bor finds that in some mysterious way his crop has been harvested, or his wood pile put under coversps. In pity asItm streets the warm hearted poor 8ffeh 4eenz to have practically common purse.
 It renews ones faith in human nature to find money flowing in freely after such disas- bef as t116 odA6H1 AlrC. DuI It Is unlOfGuQdI6 that some people are moved only by the sight of physical want They will give money to feed the hungry and clothe the naked, which merits the highest praise.
 Not for the world should this sympathy moved by the spectacle of distress, be discour- e4ed. but by all means that broader vision should be encouraged, so that it may be better known that most of the poverty, hunger and disease is due to faults in the system, most of which may with a little thought and a little effort be remedied.

 So remarked our ancestors every fifteenth of July, which is the festival of St. Swtthin. confessor, bishop and patron of Winchester, England, who lived in the ninth century As usual, our ancestors were wrong, but super stition has more lives than a cat. Our credulous forefathers might cas- fly have disproved the St. Swfthfn 1e- gend, but they were fond of "si gns,s' and denounced as heretics and infi- de1s all persons who sought to de-. stroy their pet ilIusi ons. Meteorolog- ica1 records prove conc1usfvely that there is more truth than poetry in the ancient verse about St. Swtt1lin and the weather - and absolutely no truth!

other States were discussed, but the
consensus Of the meeting was in ia
vor of a law modelled after the Hazel
law, Of Delaware. Some OF those
present were willing to support any
law that would be effective.
The sentiment in the county, it is
said, is for a law that will put out
of business those who deal illegally
in the sale of liquor. 1t is understood
that a bill will he prepared this week
like the Hazel law and will be pre-
sented TO the delegates at Annapolis
and its passage urged.
