THE PUBLIC INTEREST.

In the following short article Tho
Springfield Republican gets at the
heart of the real trouble in the Colorado
strike outbreaks, as well as many other
labor wars of recent years
In Secretary Garrison the country
has n strong man as tho head of the
war department. He takes the correct
position, evidently, in demanding by
federal proclamation the surrender of
all arms and ammunition in the strike
districts of Colorado, now under army
control, both by the corporations and
the strikers. In making this order
apply to the coal companies, the secre-
tary abolishes at stroke the private
soldiery known rs the mine guards,
between whom and the strikers there is
II deadly feud, These guards have no
reason for existence where the govern
ment provides protection for property
and they could not be permitted to go
on playing their old role without Civ
ing the strikers the impression that the
federal troops and the corporations
were in alliance to uphold the corpora
tons interests, Perhaps the chief
fault in the handling of the Colorado
militia has been that the private com
pany guards have in large numbers
been enlisted in the militia, while the
two forces, one private and the other
public, have in other ways also been
permitted to coalesce in way to make
the states troops seem as much in the
employ of the coal companies as the
mine guards themselves Militia, when
used to maintain order in strike,
should ON no account have the appear
ance of upholding any interest but a
purely public interest
In all labor troubles, and all other
troubles rs WELL it is the duty of
government, and of the government
alone state or nation to keep the peace,
and to compel combatants to surrender
their arms, This duty must not be
formed to any second or third party.

CLEVELAND USING
EASTERN Time NOW
Much Confusion as All Clocks
Are Moved Forward an Hour.

Cleveland Eastern time has official
ly superseded central standard time
here. Clevelanders are fitting their
appetites and sleeping hours to the
new time
The new time had n preliminary try
out in many business places and
homes. In offices clocks were turned
ahead an hour at noon lunch period.
Employees returned to work on cen
trail time, thus getting an extra hour,
The majority of Clevelanders, how
ever, lost an hour when clocks were
turned ahead.
The Cleveland Athletic club observ-
ed the change with an eastern time"
party, and factory whistles announced
the shifting of clocks. Clocks in pub
lie schools We're moved ahead. In
many buildings special exercises were
held. Churches, both Protestant and
Catholic, will go by eastern time.
At the new courthouse central time
prevails, state statute prescribing
central time must be used So far as
the chamber of commerce could learn,
not n Cleveland factory or business
house will continue to be governed by
central standard time All churches
conduct their services under the new
order. Theaters. saloons and profess
sional and amateur baseball organiza-
tons observe the change.
The dairymcn and truck gardeners
have arranged to make their rounds
an hour earlier, so breakfast need not
be late. The movement for eastern
time became state wide last winter,
hut the legislature failed to provide
for the change. Cleveland then took
the initiative.

A BUSINESS MAN.

The cry which comes up from some
quarters for business man for COVER
nor is rather catchy; but it ought not
to be accepted altogether without quail
ificaton TO make governor worth
while, man must be capable of max
ing craftsmanship his business, and
cessful business men become successful
by giving very close attention to their
own business, and to their own bust
ness alone. They would be unequal to
the broader field of endeavor to which
the governorship would call them. Too
many Of them, under the spoliatiOn
system which has grown up under a
protective tariff have come to know
more about trust craft than they do
about statecraft. And some Of them
there are vino seldom make any move
outside of their regular beaten paths
without the advice and consent Of II
corporation lawyer. The times demand
Responsible Leadership is the chief ex
ecutive. This il business which can
not be farmed out. The business of
government in this great common
wealth of Wisconsin is far greater than
the business Of any corporation within
its borders. To make governor of
the first class, Il man must have II pro-
found knowledge of law and politics,
and the power and the will to use that
knowledge for the benefit Of the State.
He must not only have learned his duty
well; but he must act out what lac

he must be governor in his own right.
He must stand between the people and
high takers on the one hand, and those
seeking special privileges on the other,

10 MOUNTAIN LIONS BAGGED.
Success of Hunt Conducted In the Vel
lowstone Park.

Gardiner, Mont.-One of the most
unique hunts in history and one that is
being conducted on n large scale is the
mountain lion drive in the Yellowstone
National park. Within fifteen days
eighteen lions were bagged, including
the largest specimen ever seen in this
region. The hunt is going on by per
mission OF the government
The largest lion was jumped at a
point near Gardiner and led the hunt
ers and dogs a chase of forty-tive miles
before it was killed near the starting
point.
The method pursued in hunting the
lions is to trail beast to tree or
some spot where he seeks safety after
desperately trying to outwit the pack
of dogs chasing him. The lion then Is
shot.

The Mexican Situation.

whatever of declaring or making war

"the use Of opium is now confined to a
comparatively small number Of CON

of whom are Chinese, who cannot give
up the vice and who will 90 to any

While there are in many parts of the

it is reported that less than per cent
of the former Filipino users, who had
numbered 10000 in 1906, were still vic

at Is perhaps too much" the report
says, Ito suspect that the opium evil
will ever be absolutely suppressed in
the Philippine Islands. 1t may be said,
however, that almost without exces
tion Chinese users Of opium in any Of
it's forms are today using a much small
er amount than that used by the same
persons few years ago. This is
shown by the comparative ease with
which Chinese users sent to the hOSpi-
tai today are cured The only hope of
approximating total suppression lies in
making indulgence in the habit so diff
cult that the younger generation will
not acquire it, and in this direction the
progress made has certainly been most
satisfactory"
