The Trimmer.

THE late Bishop Bowman" said
a Philadelphia minister, ''once re-
buked my too soft and conciliatory
leanings by telling me a story about
little girl.
This little girl. it seems, had writ
ten with great pains a composition
on the COW. The composition ran as
follows:
The COW is q very useful animal
That evening the bishop dined at
the little girls house, and her mother.
since she was very little girl, in
deed. was proud of the composition.
and requested its author to read 1t
aloud
The little girl got her manuscript,
but. instead of reading 1t as 1t stood.
she amended 1t on the bishops behalf
SO that 1t ran:
The COW is the most useful ami
NAL there is except religion"

Washington. May 4.--In providing
for future government action In the
Colorado labor situation. President
Wilson has under advisement the
problem of what to do as regards re-
opening the coal mines. His deliber-
fusing the operators to resume work
until there is industrial as well as
civic peace. 1t can be asserted with
a fair degree of precision that there
will be no operation of the mines un
til they can be run without guns.
Whether that means compromise
somewhere along the lines of the
present contending factions or whefh-
er one faction is to acknowledge
itself defeated is "a question with
which the President is not concerned.
He proposes that the government will

Whether this means closed coal
mines all over the state developments
will tell. 1t is reliably reported that
Secretary Garrison has orders to keep
the mines closed IL they are to breed
trouble.
1t is recalled that Roosevelt during
the strike of 1904 threatened to put
United States military forces to min

age to peaceably mine sufficient for
their needs.
The disarming proclamation of the
secretary of war. 1t was explained at
the War Department. means exactly
what 1t says. namely. that only mill
tary forces of the United States can
carry or maintain guns. This, as
matter of course. would include the
state militia were it not for the fact
that the government has requested
that body to be withdrawn as fast as
the federals take the field.
Secretary Garrison received volumi-
nous telegraphic reports from cavalry
commanders in various military dis
tricts in Colorado. The secretary
reads these dispatches and gives re-
turn orders in person. There is no
second In command.
Congressman Keating spent some
time with Secretary Garrison Satur-
day interpreting maps and giving him
general information as to the geogra-
ply and topography OF the districts
where trouble has occurred.
Fosters Plan for Strike Settlement.
Waahington.-Here is Representa-
tive Fosters plan for the settlement
of Colorado's mining troubles:
"A conciliation board. where both
sides will have. equal representation.
to decide all grievances that fail of
individual or local adjustment"
He would make this board perma-
nent institution Foster says If the
mine owners would meet the miners
In a proper spirit this basis of agree
ment could be arrived at. as the men
would waive recognition of the union.
The mine owners. he says. refuse
to agree to a Cancellation board be-
cause they insist 1t would be an in
direct recognition Of the union.

! tion have combined their forces.
Thomas Cooper, who was secretary
and manager OF the Better Farming
Association, has been appointed d.
rector of the Experiment Station and
will continue to direct the work of the
twenty-five field men Of the Better
Farming Association who become a
part of the Experiment Station and
will be known as the Better Farming
Section. The Extension Department
! Is placed under the director Of the Ex-
pertinent Station and thus definitely
correlated with the research and field
work. In this way the farmers will be
brought in closer contact with the Elk
pertinent Station and its activities,
and the Experiment Station will be
brought in closer contact with the
formers problems.
The close cooperation between the
Experiment Station and the United
States Department Of Agriculture will
continue. This will result In putting
the farmers of North Dakota in close
touch with both the State experiment
Station and the Federal Department of
Agriculture. It will bring to them the
best that has been worked. out in
farming and in the home.
