that they get chance to grow and
to help beautify Ely, our home city.
The good old ''bike" has come to
stay. One meets them at every turn
in Ely. 1t is the same wherever one
goes over the world. Today the
'fad" has been removed from their
use and practical utility is taken up
instead. Manufacturers and dealers
tell us that there is scarcity of the
machines, yet one can buy a splendid
one today for much less than he
could get one of the old "bone-bust-
ers" of few years since. In those
days an electric headlight on a bike
was never thought of and we rode
with an old, smoky kerosene head
light that merely glowed. But the
machine of today is a piece of mech
anism. Coaster brakes, roller chain,
ball bearings everywhere and a daz-
cling headlight that makes night ri
ding a safe as daylight. And these
machines are now looked at as "med-
icine" instead of something on which
to display a costume or to be in style.
And they are medicine if properly
used. And very harmful if i'm
properly used. Dad" who rode
one in the long ago should see to it
that the machine is made to fit "son-
n.y." The reach should be just right
for the individual rider. Not too
long or too short, but just right. The
saddle should be of the very best and
made to fit, as grave consequences
may arise otherwise. A poor, cheap,
hard, unyielding saddle may mean a
doctors bill then or later in life.
Young riders should be taught to not
strain up long hill, but get off and
walk over the peak. Catching cold
is another thing to watch for and
avoid. One should not ride too hard
and raise the body temperature high
and then lie on the ground to cool off.
A wheel properly used is very bene-
fetal, but when misused becomes a
menace to health. To the young it
furnishes means of working off su-
perfuous energy. To the man who
sits much at his work, it is indeed
medicine. To the working man it is
saver of carfare. To the autoist
it is blamed nuisance. But the
wheel is here to stay and the gasoline
supply can fade if it likes for all the
wheelman cares.

WALT MASON's DAILY POEM
(EXchange)

Some mighty problems now confront us, there is a crisis every day; one problem canned, some others hunt us and take the joy of life s,Way. The times are grave; I hear my neighbors denOuncing things; they rant and roar; they have suspended all their labOrS to argue at the Blue Front store. I do not join them in their ranting, their crisis rags 1 do not chew; all day they see me gallivanting on useful errands fro and to. The times are grave; we make them graver by quitting work to paw the ground, cen though the spiels we make may savor of wisdom widespread and profound I let the problems go to thunder; we are with statesmen we'll supplied, who tear the jim crow things asunder to see what works they have inside. And all the day I'm busy toilmg, m banking up my humble shack, to keep my cherished spuds from spelling when come the wintry storm and rack. There's too much talk and too much twad- dle, there's too much piffle, wind, and bunk; and while my neighbors rant and daWdle Pm salting down another plunk. There's too much idle, bOotless drooling. too much of larynx and of lip; when all the fellows quit their fooling the problems will get up and skip.

and control of the mines. But the refusal of the miners to go back to work and the apparent indifference of large percentage of the operators has created a situation so menacing to a large proportion of the citi- zens of the country that the government, if 1t upheld its contention, could no longer re main passive.
 In announcing its intention to seize mines under certain conditions the admin istration again reiterated its adherence to the principle that the interest of the gen eral public must be considered as being superior to all private interests. Both la bor and capital must recognize this prin- cipIe in their dealings with each other if they expect to get consideration at the hands of the representatives of the public who stand for the American government.

HUSBANDS WANTED
~ aIdez AIiner)

Every mail brings letter to the Miner from some young lady in the states who vealms for an Alaskan for husband. That thes yearnings may prompt the yeanees to come to the territory in an effort to still hunt the genus homo, is undoubted by those who are familiar with the female of the species Alaska has a larger number of bachelors to its population than any ten states in the Union. But these bachelors are gunshy and unbrollen. Many of them may have a wife or two in the states and came North to forget her while others have escaped many snares set by designing spinsters and prefer sitting in their sock feet by their own fireside to sleeping in a coal shed to escape an irate wife.
 Matrimony is a game where one or the other of the contracting parties get bunk ed. It is as full of pitfalls as the Methodist dicipline and can either make an angel of a man, with a diet of nectar and ambrosia or cause his meals to taste like gall and wormwood. It has been stated that mar riages are made in heaven; but if this is the case heaven is no place for an Alaskan who pines for peace and solitude
 While the Miner is not running a matrimonial bureau we could pick out scv- eral likely bachelors who would make a yearning soul from the states think matri- mony was better than a three ring circus to a small boy. Our men are thotful of their women, and reverence them according to the degree of unfamiiarity with the sex. Some men allow their wives to shovel snow, cut fireWood, handle a Number Two in a muck pile, and do other small chores for their board, but this practice is fast be- coming obsolete in the best society. About all that an Alaskan expects of his wife in late years is to patch his socks once in a while and play a good hand at bridge.
 With the coming of spring time we expect the territory to be overrun with husband hunters. When the geese and the swan and the duckIings come North again to mate, and Natures limner decks the hills with green, when the billing and cooing of the turtle dove and the voice of the marmot it heard in the land, we warn our bachelors to beware. And it might also be well to be wary.

GOVERNMENT OPERATION FORGED

The determination of President Will son to give the public every possible pro lection from the consequences of the coal strike is evidenced by the decision of the government to take over those mines which are making no attempts to operate and re open them under the control of the national fuel administration for the benefit of the country. And that the administration is deadly in earnest in it's proposal is proven by the warning given both the operators and workers that it will tolerate no inter ference to it's activities from either side.
 There is no doubt as to the govern ment's reluctance to take the step. It has fought shy of it since the very beginning of the strike and at it's very first meeting to consider the coal situation the cabinet re fused to consider government operation

 DEPARTMENT OF
 LABOR CHARGED
KING SAYS IT IS HONEYCOMBED WITH BOLSHEV- ISM AND UNFIT TO ADMINISTER LAW; WOULD TRANSFER PRO CEEDINGS.

WASHINGTON, Nov 28.-CPJ- Charging the department of labor with being "honeycombed with bol- sheyisms" Senator King, democrat, of Utah, tonight stated that he would introduce a measure in the senate when congress cOnyenes Monday for the purpose of transferring all de portation proceedings to the depart ment of justice. The senator said that the department of labor had proven that it was not competent to handle the proceedings.
 He asserted that the radicalism that is sweeping thru the country is largely caused by the failure of the department of labor to administer the law providing for the deportation of aliens. He said that many aliens found to be undesirable citizens had been turned loose on the country by the department and it's agents after they had been sentenced to depor- tation.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov 29-(P The naval cOmmitte of the house of representative has decided to rec ommend that the pay of all officers and men in the navy be materially in creased. The plan as outlined by the committee calls for a fifteen percent advance in the pay of all com missioned officers and a fifty percent increase in the pay of the petty officers and other enlisted men.
 It is estimated that the proposed ln- crease will mean an expenditure of $10,000, 900 between now and 1921 when it is expected that a new pay

DOUGLAS, Ariz., Nov 29-(P)-Ac- cording to Gordon Campbell secre- tary of the Arizona Calumet Copper company, the failure of the United States to ratify the peace treaty will result in radical curtailment of the country's production of copper dur ing the coming year He believes that America will be cut off from ex- tended commercial relations with European nations until the treaty is ratified and this will be felt partic- ularly in the copper export trade.

MAKE IT CERTAIN

That Senator Kings charge of bol- shevism in the department of labor may have some foundation is indicated by the release of certain radicals who were ship ped from the Pacific coast to Ellis Island for deportation several months ago. The immigration officials at Ellis Island have acknowledged that some of those undesir- able aliens were held but short time and released on nominal bonds. Others are still being held on the island.
 But 1t is not clear that his proposal to turn the radicals over to the department of justice will greatly remedy the matter. It has not been two weeks since Attorney General Palmer appeared in the senate and told the senators that he was pOWerless to deal with the radicals until more adequate legislation had been enacted. It may be that a similar condition exists in the laws which the department of labor is charged with enforcing. A congressional committee is studying that question now and has al- ready intimated that a defect has been found in the existing laws which will be made the subject of corrective legislation at the next congress. But even if it is found that the labor department repre- sentatives could not carry out the deporta- tiOn proceedings, there is no reason yet given which would show a cause for releas- ing from observation and confinement men whose mdesirability as citizens had been proven
 Loyal Americans will agree that there is no room in the country, whether in peace or war, for those persons who seek to over throw their government by force of arms, whose every action is one of conspiracy against the republic and whose sole aim in seeking admission into this country was to bring about its downfall. Not only is there agreement on this but all Americans like wise advocate the deportation of all those who come under that heading.
 Let proper laws be enacted and pub lie sentiment will see to it that they are enacted regardless of the department tC whom the duty of such enforcement is as signed. The country IS tired of reds and their works. It demands that all of them be deported If they are Russians send them back to Russia where they should be more at home. or whatever nationality they may be, get rid of them. And when they are all booted out of the country, put on some vermin-prOOf immigration laws which will keep the country free from such ele- ments in the future.
