THE MINERS CHOOSE WAR; LET THEM
HAVE 1T

Disregarding the appeal of the President not
to strike on the eve of winter and thus deliber-
ately heap misery upon millions of helpless Ameri
can people, and defying his stern warning that
such strike would be challenge to the power
of the government and would be met as such, the
officials of the United Mine Workers have refused
to recede from their stand calling national strike
of soft coal miners, effective next Saturday morn
ing.
And in reply to their stand, the attorney
general, speaking for the government, says that
every man who walks out Saturday morning will
be violator of the law of the land and that Jail
and prosecution awaits all such violators. In ad-
dition he assures those miners who wish to con-
time at work that they will receive adequate pro-
lection even if it is necessary to mobilize the
United States army
Plainly the test has come 1t is now ques-
toin whether comparatively small group of men
the miners constituting very small fraction of
total populations greater than the govern
ment; whether a small minority shall be allowed to
cripple paralyze the industries of great ma
ton and bring misery and want to the whole popu-
lation in order to enforce their demands for more
pay and less work upon their employers
The miners have chosen to use force The
government has answered them in terms of force
Ii force it be, let it be force to the limit Let this
rule be smashed now, once for all. And in the
smashing perhaps a happier day will dawn for

ANOTHER SCRAP OF PAPER.

The miners new demands are radical and ex-
treme. They not only call for tremendous in
crease in pay, which inevitably would fall upon the
consuming public, but they involve reduction of
working hours, which cannot fail to result in a
very serious reduction in output.
These demands however, need not be taken
under consideration at this time. There is but one
question now involved, and that is the sanctity of
a solemn agreement entered into by a labor union
representing 400, 900 bituminous coal miners out
of total of 100000 employed in that branch of
the mining industry, and the mine operators That
agreement specifically calls for the continuance of
the existing scale until peace is declared or until
March 81, 1920, if the proclamation is not issued
by that time. 1t cannot honorably be abrogated
either by the operators or by the miners. Union
labor to should rise up and demand that it
be kept to the letter. for if wage contract is thus
to be treated a scrap of paper, what be-
comes of the insistent demand of labor for the right
of collective bargaining? 1t is time to pause and
think. Washington, D. c. Post

WINDS.

THE wind of spring is joyous, as pleasantly 1t
floats; it never does annoy US with CHASTITY,
vailing notes 1t seems to bring rumor OF blue
and CRYSTAL seas; and with buoyant humor it
syvishes through the trees. We never hear it
screaming as though with stomach ache; it
helps us in our dreaming, and soothes us when
we wake. The sizzling wind of summer blows
morals galley west; and clergymen and plumber
denounce it, with the rest Tumultuous and tor
rid it goes its burning way, and makes US think
up horrid and beastly things to say. The woozy
wind of winter has little hel pful use; evangelist
and printer berate it like the deuce. 1t numbs our
nerves and senses as from the north it skids;
it adds to our expenses, and makes US soak our
lids But oh, the wind Of autumn. 1t seems
to sigh, my friends of woe that has no bottom,
of pain that never ends. 1t walls around my cot
tage, what time the daylight dies, when | am
tired of swattage, and chasing of the flies. Now
hastily, now slowly it whimpers overhead;
there's nothing so unholy, so weird, so full of
dread. 1t sghs, in haunted crannies of long
dead men and maids, of old forgotten grannies,
who walk the earth as shades.

A Bit of This and That
A PRINTERS NIGHT OUT.

A sale bill bearing the signature Will Quit
Work, has been going the rounds of the press
and purports to be Missouri auction sale, giving
evidence of what queer combinations can be made
by printer who rs suffering from night out and
badly pies the galley. The bill announcing the
sale includes the following list:
twenty-five good cows, broke to work; Al
head of cultivators, coming in soon; 10 head of
shoveing boars with scoops by side; piano
mares; 10 roads canvas betting, better than new;
DeLaval COW, with ice cream attachment; McCor-
mick binder, in foal; Poland China bobsled due
to farrow in April IA head of chickens with grass
seed attachment, in good working ORDER 2 ]. |. C..
riding heifers, good as new; spraying outfit, can
be ridden driven by children; 5 billy goats 20
bushel capacity, with spraying nozzle and other
attachments; many other articles too numerous to
mention, which expect to get at night between
now and date of sale-Country Gentleman.

FERTHIzING YOUR BUSINESS.

piece of land may be cropped year after
year without fertizing it, but the returns get less
each year and the soil is robbed of its original in
Vestment.
Any business may likewise be run without
enrching it with advertising, without maintaining
its original strength by the introduction of new
business, without doing anything that is really a
drawing card and benefit to the community, but
eventually the business fails to make the customary
returns of profits on the investment portion of
the principal is used up each year as well as the
diminishing profits and in the end the farmer or
business man always pays double and treble the
amount that the fertilizer or advertising would
have cost had it been used often 1t costs more not
to It. in lost customers lost sales spoiled goods
and high overhead expenses on diminishing bus-
ness. Advertising is profitable service
Fertilize or advertise often Not onlv would
1t be foolish to ten years supply of fertilizer
all in one year, but the business should also be
enriched often. Do not expect one week adver-
tsng during year to furnish returns for 81 weeks
business. A moderate amount, spread out THROUGH
each OF the 81 weeks is much more beneficial than
to heap it up in piles once year Use ADVERTISING
service as you would clerk service
Business lost through lack of advertising costs
more to regain than it would have cost to have re-
tanned the patronage, and in addition the profits on
the lost business have forever gone elsewhere.
1t is simple problem Of choosing between
paying tor little fertilizer little advertising, for
your farm or business, using it often and retain
ing your profits and original investment, or doino
without this service and in the end lose much more
than it would have cost for the benefit.
Competition is beyond anyone's conttol.
The buyer is seeking the advertised article be-
cause he knows it pays to do so. The conclusion
cannot be avoided that regular and conservative
advertising is a service that should gladly be made
use of by the business man, not only due to him
self, but to the customer and the town.

TIME TO VOTE.

Senator Norris, of Nebraska, spent three days
arguing the Shantung question in the senate dur
ing which time less than half dozen members were
in the chamber. 1t might, with stretch of the
imagination, be called waste of effort also. The
senators did not to hear the arguments be-
cause they have decided how they will vote on
the question when it reaches the decisive point.
But the senators who desire to add their thoughts
or those of some else to the records of the time
insist that they shall ramble for days speaking to
empty benches and shutting off action on other
matters. Full and free debate of national ques-
tions is essential in free governmnt. But words
however we'll chosen, and arguments however log
ical, will not affect the decision of the senate
therefore, they sounding brass and tinkLng
