DURING the late coal strike, some
Republican, anxious to discredit
President Wilson and extoll Roose-
welt, wrote a Nebraska paper as fol-
lows:
chow long do you suppose the
present coal strike would last if our
old friend, Teddy Roosevelt, sat in
the executive chair at Washington?
A similar strike was started during
his administration and in less than
fortyeight hours after Teddy took the
whip the strike was Off. Roosevelt's
ultimatum to Charles M. Schwab,
Settle the Pennsylvania coal strike
in fortyeight hours, or I will, got the
results Schwab recognized as the
masters voice and knew it never
spoke twice"
In this connection I quote from the
st. Joseph Observer: "The public
may be interested in knowing the
facts as to presidential Intervention
in the great coal strike of 1902. The
danger of that strike first appeared in
the middle Of March, and the Nation
al Civic Federation made efforts to
avert it. The federation failed, and
the miners walked out on May IL.
In June President Roosevelt asked
Carroll d. Wright to investigate and
report, but the report was not made
public when submitted, nor was it
followed up. The strike dragged its
way along until October 8, when the
president called a White House con-
ference. He then urged the miners
to return to work pending investiga-
ton by a commission. He also
brought pressure on the operators
to accept arbitration. The operators
finally consented, andthe men return.
cd to work on October %. The strike
had lasted almost five and one-half
months" The strike just ended had a
duration of less than six weeks.

p~arture is received with varied feel
ings. There are those "who, with all
its faults, love it still" as it has been
in many democratic homes so long it
was taken as much a matter of course
as the children's school books or any
other necessary article of household
furnishings. Others see it go without
regret, regarding it merely as being
democratic in name while in principle
and at heart it was republican. Al
any rate this leaves the Democratic
party without a metropolitan news
paper in the state. 1t is now up tc

Ferris in Durant Speech Points Out
Significance OF G. o. p. Can

Clear Cut Issue

Durant, Okla, Oct. S.-Cheers and
prolonged applause interrupted Scott
Ferris. candidate for United States
senate at meeting of several thous.
and voters here last night when IA
vigorously asserted
We accept Senator Harding s
challenge, the issue Is now clear
cut, Senator Harding is for sepa-
rate peace with Germany. He favors
| turning our back on our allies, he Is
against arbitration, reduction OF ar.
maments and the abolition Of secret
treaties which are the salient fea-
lures Of the League of Nations. He
declared in his Des Moines speech
that he wants to entirely scrap the
League.
In that declaration he repudiates
the Opinions and stand OF 81 Sen
ators and accepted the views of the
fifteen bitter enders led by Borah
and Johnson. 1t must be remembered
that 81 senators voted for the Lea
que Of Nations in one of the forms
in which it came before the Senate.
Some were for Lodge reservations,
some for mild reservations and some
or Hitchcock reservations but all
were for the League. Some of the
most prominent Republican leaders

want to clarity the Leagues obllga-
ions. He says he wants to turn his
back on them. He declared in his
Des Moines speech that 1t is not
Interpretation but rejection that |

How will the rank and file OF
the Republican party and the party's
candidate who have been declaring
hat they favored a league with
proper reservations, square their
past declarations with the Presiden-
