Miners Getting Scarce


 T am inclined to believe that there will be decided shortage of labor in the mining districts as soon as the car short age is relieved somewhat" said c. H. Nesbitt, chief mining inspector. T un- derstand that a number of mines have re- ported shortage already, and in my opinion others are beginning to feel the need of labor. number of mines are operating with inefficient forces but they deny that labor cannot be secured re "Of course, under present conditions, the shortage and the continued exodus of mine labor from this state is not affect ing the operators seriously, but with cars plentiful and conditions normal, I do not believe the mines could meet the de- mand.
 T have been told that approximately 1S,0O0 men have been taken from the state in the last few months, and more than 4000 from the Birmingham district alone. There Is an employment bureau just across from my office, and if the number that goes in there every cay are sent away, I do not doubt the above statement"

 that the democratic party, founded by Jefferson, had outlived three strong parties-the federalists, to which Hamilton, Washington and John
 Adams belonged; the whig party,
 which elected two Presidents, and the progressive party, whose existence was brief but tumultuous.
 Mir. Wilson, in telling of the rise and decline of the federalists and later of the whigs, discussed fundamental
 principles of political parties and
 showed why it was that the demo-
 cratic party had survived and why it
 must endure as long as the people
 cherish love for free institutions.
 The historic parties that flourished
 and then became extinct were ani-
 mated by the idea that government should be in the hands of select few and should be for the benefit of class interest rather than government
 for the benefit of the people, which I the democratic party always stood for. This party, which has always contended for representative govern
 ment in the fullest sense, is as much
 of liberal party and as much needed today as it was in Jefferson's time. The republican party, which elected Lincoln, was built on the old whig

THE BIG PUSH.

Patrick MacGill, the Irish au
thor. has written a book of hi
experiences in the British Army
in Northern France. "The Bis
PUSH" is great argument
against the insanity of militarism
The following is quoted from hi.
preface:
"The justice of the cause which
endcavors to achieve its object by
the numbering and manning of
mankind is apt to be doubted by
. man who has come through a
bayonet charge. The dead lying
on the field seem to ask "Why
has this been done to usi Why
have YOU done it, brothersY What
purpose has it served?" The
battle-line is a secret world. a
world of curses. The guilty Sec
recv of war is shrouded in lies,
and shielded by bloodstained
swords; to know it YOU must be
one of those who wage it. a party
to dark and mysterious orgies of
carnage. War is the purge Of
repleted Kingdoms, needing a
close place for its operations"
The book is principally his i'm
pressions Of an action in which he
took part. He tells that almost
the entire book was. written in
the scene of warfare before he was
wounded at Loos. This able
writer lays bare the horror, the
brutality and the futilitv Of war,
~ only he knows how. He tears |
the brass buttons of the monster. |
He leaves the beast naked in all |
his horror. IL
MacGill writes of a soldier in
the trench. his mate on the
Darapet. A shell goes visiting,
causing the man in the trench to
'flop down." while the man on
che Dararet falls upon him.

Austria's Historic Crown.

The crown donned by the monarch
of Austria, which was made originally
for Stephen Of Hungary some eight
centuries ago, has been stolen, lost or
pawned.
One one occasion it was pilfered by
a queen who fed across the frozen
Danube with it, and there, being In
need of ready cash, she pawned it for
$500 ducats. When it was finally
traced and recovered it was placed in
q fortress in Hungary and guarded
night and day.
At the time of the revolution 1t was
buried in forest to prevent its being
annexed by the Austrians, and it re-
manned under the soil for nearly hun
dred years. The crown is adorned
with ffty-three fine sapphires, fifty
good sized rubies, one emerald and 33S
pearls. The gems are sunken in q mass
of pure gold, and the crown weighs al
together about fourteen pounds.-Ex-

The Common People.

Coronets, miters, military display,
the pomp of war, wide colonies and a
huge empire are, In my view, all tri-
fies, light as air and not worth cOnsid-
ering, unless with them you can have
a fair share of comfort, contentment
and happiness among the great body
of the people. Palaces, baronial cas-
ties, great halls, stately mansions, do
not make a nation. The nation in ev-
cry country dwells in the cottage, and
unless the light of your constitution
can shine there, unless the beauty of
your legislation and the excellence of
your craftsmanship are impressed there
on the feelings and condition of the
people, rely upon it, you have yet to
learn the duties of government.-John
