A SERIOUS SITUATION

There is no use in Disgusting thu
fact that a serious condition exists In
the mining district of this county.
and that recently several acts Of
criminal lawlessness have occurred
there. This paper has had little to
say of these occurrences except to
give such information as is due our
readers, because foolish newspaper
agitation is a most dangerous thing
In such a situation, can lead to no
good result, and may be exceedingly
harmful. Indeed it is a generally
recognized fact that Incorporate and
distorted newspaper articles are
largely responsible for the blood that
has been shed. Thus aggravated. the
situation has developed into one that
In our opinion needs the treatment of
an iron hand. All the power the law
can muster should be invoked in or
der that it's majesty may be main
tanned. And everybody--mine owner,
mine worker striker or strike
breaker-should be made to toe the
mark, and the slightest over-stepping
OF bounds should land in Jail the
man who does not adhere to the strict
letter of the law, no matter what that
mans position or his sympathies
may be. There should also be
Wholesale disarming of the people in
that district, and no man should he
allowed to carry weapon except
those who, under the proper authori-
Ties, are charged with maintaining
law and order.
The public as a whole is only mild
~ concerned with the controversy be-
tween the, mine owners and the
workers. 1t does not know all the
facts in the case and it cannot learn
them from the partisan statements
that have been put out from both
Sides. Hence it's attitude is for the
most part one of suspended Judgment.
'ltS chief interest being to see the diff
feYences between the employers and
employees settled as quickly as pos
sibly, SO that great industry and
asset to the county may be peaceful.
N and profitably maintained and idle
men returned to remunerative and
productive labor.
But the people are interested IN the
maintenance Of some semblance OF
lew and order in their midst. Mid.
night assassination, murderous brawls
ana general reign of terror in that
section Of this country, is not to their
liking. 1t is no longer a matter of a
inference between employer and en-
pioyes. AS we have intimated, there
probably is right and wrong on both
Sides and the differences can never
pe adjusted except through cool-head-
ed and reasonable consideration of
me questions involved by both sides
20 the controversy. But foul crimes
are being perpetrated. Human life ia
being wantonly taken. The great !
mass of law-abiding citizens of this
county look on these things aghast.
and demand that they be stopped. !
further, they demand most rigid
investigation and that the full pen
atty for these crimes be given to who
eyer may be responsible for them
regardless of affiliation or station.

ton is Good Idea.

Some idea of the care used in the
construction Of Willard Batteries may
be obtained from the severe electric
al and mechanical tests which each
jar has to pass before it can become
part of Willard battery" says the
local Willard expert. Each one of
these rubber jars has only to stand
a pressure of about 2 volts in actual
service, and is carefully protected
from mechanical shock. But before
these jars can get by the electrical
inspector, each one of them must
prove its ability to stand up under
pressure of not few volts, but of
a full $4,000 volts; and in order to
make sure that each piece of rubber
is. mechanically strong, each lot is
sampled and the sample submitted TO
tension of 5000 pounds to the
