Doubtless the radical members of the United Mine
Workers who yesterday in the Columbus convention
voice to the opinion that the international officers
of the organization should have gone to jail and per-
mted Judge Anderson and the government get along
best they could with the coal strike situation feel
that going to Jail is just of the routine duties of
who accept such offices from the union, but they
overlook the fact that the immediate effect of such
course of action woulo have been to place the Mine
Workers in direct conflict with the government There
is not the slightest doubt of what the outcome would
be of such situation. 1t has taken the miners
country almost 40 years to build up the organization.
If becomes rash to defy the might the
government it will be torn down and utterly destroyed
in less than week. And then the miners would have
TO begin at the beginning and build all again.

MRS. ADAMS QUILT
PUT ON EXHIBITION.
An attractive exhibit during the
week-and one that is, l believe,
stin on view-was the beautiful
quilt that Mrs. Philander H. Adams
made for the Judge Lynn Chapter of
the local D. A. r. and is exhibiting
in a shop window on the corner OF
Connecticut and Rhode Island ave-
nues.
Mrs. Adams made the quilt-the
work of eight months of the most
careful labor-while caring for her
husband who has been i'll for so
long. The quilt is made OF the finest
satin and decorated with the most
wonderful roses in the various
shades of pink. There are nine huge
blossoms that took yards and yards
of the most expensive satin TO make.
The workmanship is exquisite. Mrs.
Adams did the greater part herself
and finally after working on 1t eight
months sent the quilt to a friend in
Topeka, Kansas, to be quilted.
The d. A. r. hopes to sell the
quilt for funds with which TO assist
certain civic organizations that have
aroused their interest-the Girl
Scouts, the Boy Scouts, etc They
have especially invited certain
prominent women in the city-those
they know to be interested in un-
usual and beautiful things-to at
tend the exhibition.
Mrs. Adams has already received
an offer of more than a thousand
dollars from a friend in New York
who saw the beautiful thing and
wanted it. But the chapter hopes
