THIRTY-SIX PER CENT ALIENS

Senator Joseph s. Frelinghuysen Of
New Jersey has brought out the .act
that of the 446,S58 bituminous coal
miners in this country 1886, or S60
per cent, are aliens. These are the
men who would plunge the country
into the horrors Of prolonged coal
strike, tying up the railroads and
practically every other industry, in or
der that they shall get sixty per
cent increase in wages, and work only
thirty hours week. Those who favor
more strict immigration laws are won

FARMERS NOT REvOLUTIoNIsTs

Mark Sullivan shows In Golfers for
October that the largest single
group In the population Of America is
the farmers, that In any presidential
election the farmers contribute over
n third, and close to half, OF the en-
tire vote. No fundamental
change in the economic and political
structure OF America can be made If
it is against the interests Of the far
mer.
The farmers are not only the most
numerous but the most independent
and dependable class Of voters, AMI
they swing the country.
As the farmers in our country near
IL all own their own farms they will
not encourage extreme radicallsm or
n revolution. There Is no more In
tense devotion TO property interest

Ire commissioner of education shall be the fifth member of the board and he shall be ex-officio it's treasurer. The members of the board shall receive no ,ompensation for their services.
 The library board shall be empow' ,red to employ territorial librarian ,vho shall be the purchasing agent or .he board, and to employ such other helpers as the work may demand; to determine the regulations under which The district and branch libraries, to provide quarters for the territoial and distict libraries and to perform such other acts as the work may demand
 Any city town or community shall be eligible to secure branch library when it shall have elected or appoint ed d library committee of one or more members and shall have arranged in he manner prescribed by the library board for the custody and distribution of the books.
 The use of the library shall be free 70 all residents of the territory pro- ,ided that the usual penalties to in- sure promptness and good care may ,e imposed; provided further, that nothing in this act shall be construct d as to prevent the library board at
 ts discretion from requiring of each adult borrower deposit not to ex- ced the sum of two dollars, said de- ,osit to be refunded at borrowers re- ,uest when all claims for loss, or
 lamage, other than ordinary wear, hall have been met. All unrefunded
