WOMAN ON POOR COMMISSION.

WOMAN ON POOR COMMISSION. y
Grapevine reports are that the SUI
peryIsors OF Iron county are consider
ing woman for membership on the
board OF county poor commissioners.
The term Of Commissioner Scott ex-
iires with the annual meeting in Oc-
tober and that gentleman has made Il
plain for many months past that he
will, under no circumstances, be a
candidate for re-appointment nor
will he accept an appointment IL
given him. The vacancy Is from iron
River township and that township
ought % have the member appointed
in Mr. Scott's place So, IL a woman
as chosen Il will be an Iron River wo-
znan.
So TAR two names have been sug-
gested that OF Mrs. N. Il. Fisher and
Mrs q. A. weaber. Excellent. both
'of them. The difficulty, we fear. Will
be in getting either OF the ladies men
tloned to accept an appointment Of the
Aind for a position on the poor COM
mission Is not an enviable Job by any
means.
We hope that the supervisors carry
out the suggestion OF selecting some
good woman who will accept a position
on tho board II may change the pop.
alar impression as TO the work OF that
board. The position is one wherein a
woman's aid can be Of great assist.
Ance many times. always with the IN.
dsrstanding that the woman Is level.

We note from reports In the Dick
inson county papers that the county
road commission Of that county has
changed its policy and will enter up
on an active construction campaign.
The road from Randville to the Mar
quette line will get immediate atten-
ton and so will other pieces OF road
In the county We knew that Dickin-
son would come TO the front once the
people down there realized the way
they were treating their neighbors.
With the construction OF a good road
from Randville to the Marquette line.
Dickinson will have splendid road
system. OF course there are some
other pieces that ought 20 get atten-
ton. The one that Iron county Is
most interested in Is that short piece
between Sasola and the Iron county
line We hope that piece viii not be
overlooked.

ANOTHER WAY OF LOOKING AT II

ANOTHER WAY OF LOOKING AT IT
While delayed at Humboldt last
Sunday the writer spent the time
taking census OF the cars that pass
ed that point. During our three hours
watch an average OF So cars per hour
passed by. The cars varied all the
way from Fords to Wintons, the pre-
ponderance being of the smaller cars.
OF course.
We tried to make fair estimate O
the average value of the cars passing
and set upon $1,000 as a figure that
would be fair; too low IL anyway in
error We believe the value to be
closer to $1,000 than $1,000, but in
fixing upon the smaller figure we felt
sure OF our ground.
That means that $4,000 worth of
property per hour passed over that
road that afternoon. And, it's proper
ty that deteriorates rapidly, too. Bad
roads are suicidal.
When you consider the amount OF
property involved doesn't II make this
demand for good roads look different
Show us any business man that would
build an $4,000 building on ten-cent
foundation. Yet, that's exactly what

ON DEFENCE ALL DAY

WAsHINGToN, July 1o.-Resuming his
testimony to-day before the Senate
banking Committee, John Shelton Will
Jams, Comptroller OF the Currency, de-
Tended the administration of his office
and accused Wade Cooper. II Washing
ton banker, of having circulated "un-
true, false and damaging statements"
against him and his office.
The Comptroller defended his action
In sending to bankers memorandum
attacking Mr.. Cooper. Pressed by
Chairman Mclean for his motives In do
ing this, Mr.. Williams said it was to
counterfeit statements circulated by Mr..
Cooper and to inform the public and
stockholders in respect of/the manage
ment Of banks operated by Mr.. Cooper
and his brother. Mr.. Williams said his
statement gave no false impression OF
the case. while the testimony OF Mr..
Cooper was grossly false"
That is your opinion" interrupted
Chairman Mclean.
ct am prepared to substantiate that"
the witness replied.
The Comptroller was before the conf
mittee the entire day and made gem
eral denial Of the Cooper charges, which
he branded as "wantonly false and
malicious" He submitted to the COM
mittee a letter fIom Walker d. Hines.
Director-Genefal of Railroads. absolv-
ing him from any connection with maxi
ing q compensation contract with the
Georgia and Florida Railroad. Previous
witnesses had charged that the Comp
troller by his silence as director OF
finance of~the Railroad Administration
approved a contract greatly to the adj
vantage of the Georgia. and Florida
road, with which formerly he had been
connected.
THAT Is a fair sample OF the gross
inaccurac ies OF statements made to this
committee by that witness" declared
Mr.. Williams. referring to the testimony
OF Mr.. Cooper after he had read Direc-
tor Illness letter.
Mr.. Williams also denied accusation
made by Mr.. Cooper that the bank Of
John l. Williams 4 Sons AT Richmond
Va. with which Mr.. Williams was
formerly connected. had been permitted
to overdraw its account with Wash
ington bank and read a memorandum
filed by a national bank examiner which
declared that Mr.. Cooper's charges are
wantonly untrue and malicious in ever,
particular and have not a shadow o.

COAL MINERS TO ACT

Copvri1kf, 1879; all rights. reseyred.

REswfCK. England, July l5.-"lf the
Government is not strong enough to
carry out it's naturalization pledge in
regard to the mines, then the miners
will pledge themselves to stop work in
order to aid the Government" This
was the ironical statement thrown back
to the British Cabinet by Robert Smillie
in his presidential address to the Miners
Federation to-day. 1t Is regarded as
threat to strike unless the coalition
Government carries out its promise TO
place the mines under State control.
Smile also declared in reference TO
the controversy over the increase oil
$3.50 in the price Of coal thilt this an
nouncement was made in consequence OF
the recent elections for the purpose OF
influencing voters against naturalization
of the mines. He denied einphaucaHy
that there was any necessity for increas-
ing coal prices 81 so n ton to meet the
schorter hours Of labor or the increase
in wages which the Government gave
the miners. adding:
IAN appeal IL heirg made now for a
larger output by the men, but the Miners
Federation is as anxious as the Govern
ment to have the fullest output There
is no desire on cur part to prevent
larger production. Our men are working
as hard as possible, just as they have
,, worked In the past. but they are not
likely to strain every nerve in the pro-
duction of coal to add to enormous pri-
yate fortunes What the mines need Is
proper development under Government
ownership.
The miners want reconstruction in
| the interests Of the whole nation. They
| do hot desire to do anything against
| the nation, but they are tired OF labor
| ing endlessly for the benefit of private
interests. Capitalists are combining to
prevent the miners from obtaining what
they have fought for SO many years,
| but II the Government is not strong
ienough to carry out it's pledges we will
stop work to aid them
| The delegates to the Miners Fedora
ton meeting gathered in the conference
not yet recovered from the sensation
caused by the announcement of the $3.50
| increase when the situation was quickly
changed by the offer of Chancellor \.
! Bonar Law to postpone the increase II
the miners would pledge Themselves TO
work harder and avoid strikes.
Despite the vague threat OF Smile
it seems likely the gulf between the
| federation and the Government will be
| brdged so much depends on continuous
/ production that no step Is likely to b.
taken that will result in hostillties No
| one realizes this situation better than
| the miners themselves and there is
every evidence that they will work hand
IN hand with the Government.
