A Hard Coal Strike Possik lie.

Now hard-coal strike is threasened.
Representatives of the anthracite
workers have rejected an offer made
BY the operators of Is per cent wage
advance, with proposal for submits
sion of other matters to an arbitration
by the existing joint committee of
workers and owners, supplemented by
three persons named by the Presi'sent
to represent the public. Unless the
operators improve their propositieN a
strike in the hard-cOal district of
Pennsylvania will be called Within a
few days. The wage-scale year in This
field begins April /, and the present
negotiations are in extension of deal
ings had before that date Coal is
being mined at present under suspen-
sion Of rules, so to speak. If new
settlement is not effected quickly there
may be complete stoppage of mining
by another week. Such a stoppage
would seriously cut down the supply
available for summer and fall distribu-
ton for winter use. Fortunately the
spirit of negotiation prevails and an
adjustment is still possible. A hard
coal strike, even of short duration,
would impose heavy penalty upon
the public in terms of lessened supply
and higher prices.

A Serious Blunder.

There are many extraordinary fea-
lures connected with the "fire for eff
feet" directed upon the United States
submarine 81 by United States coast
guard vessel off Florida last Monday
night. Pending the time when an in
yestigation shall have established the
truth or untruth of the claim that
the commander of the patrol boat was
acting under orders, it is interesting
to note the scope of the blunder. The
attack was made well outside the
three mile limit, upon the high seas.
1t came, according to alert naval Off
GERS, without warning. The patrol
boat, outside of its proper sphere of
action under any circumstances, deem
ed it quite unnecessary to establish
the approximate identity Of the sus-
pect before opening fire. And, ap-
parently, it all seemed very much a
matter of course to her commander.
The task of preventing liquor SNUG!
Cling in Florida waters is difficult. Yet
the difficulties involved cannot excuse
such palpably excessive measures as
those evidently in use. The COM
mander of the patrol has only his
lucky stars to thank that the shooting
was poor, the target not foreign YES
sci, and that the S4 did not happen
to have the usual three or four inch
rifle on board. Otherwise the story
would have undoubtedly been even
more serious.

Speed the Handbook Cases!

Raids conducted yesterday by the
police on the handbook gamblers
Melted number of arrests, with nu-
merous witnesses and much evidence,
on which it is hoped that the accused
will be proved guilty and given pun
ishment for their violation Of the law.
Supt. Gessford thus begins his admin
istration of the police department Wig
orously, in striking at an evil that has
prevailed here for long time and
has cost immensely. District Attorney
Laskey declares that no delay in the
prosecution of the cases will be per-
mitted, and that they will be carried
through as quickly as the condition
Of the court calendars will allow.
Handbook gambling has been prac-
ticed here in the face of the law for
d long time. 1t has been encouraged
by the fact that convictions in court
have been rare, owing to delays and
the consequent loss of witnesses. II
this evil is to be exterminated the
courts must move more rapidly. The
police have done their part of the
work well.
Handbook making is particularly
insidious form Of gambling. The lure
Of large winnings appeals to young
men who think they can safely make
money without working. Men who have
fallen into debt often look to the
handbook as q means of recouping

REPORT MANY CASES
OF RHEUMATISM NOW
Says we must keep feet dry;
avoid exposure and eat
less meat.

Stay off the damp ground, avoid ex-
posture, keep feet cry. eat less meat,
drink lots of water and above all take
a spoonful of salts occasionally to
keep down uric acfd.
Rheumatism is caused by poisonous
toxin, called uric acid, which is gem
Grated in the bowels and absorbed into
the flood. It Is the function of the
kidneys to filter this acid from the
blood and cast it out in the urine. The
pores of the skin are also a means of
freeing the blood of this impurity. In
damp and chilly, cold weather the skin
pores are closed, thus forcing the kid
neys to do double work, they become
weak and sluggish and fail to elimi-
nate this uric acid which keeps ac-
cumulating and circulating through
the system, eventually settling in the
joints and muscles causing stiffness,
soreness and pain called rheumatism.
At the first twinge of rheumatism
get from any pharmacy about four
ounces of Jad Salts; put a tablespoon
full in q glass of water and drink be-
fore breakfast each morning for a
week. This is said to eliminate uric
acid by stimulating the kidneys to nor
NAL action, thus Kidding the blood of
these impurities.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice. combined with lithia
and is used with excellent results by
thousands of folks who are subject to
rheumatism. Here you have a pleas
ant, effervescent lithia-water drink
which overcomes uric acid and is ben
eficial to your kidneys as well.-Adv.

Away from the grind of tho city, v9 .
Away from the noise and the din,
Away from its grief and its pity,
Away from it's shame and its sin
Out where the blue sky is bending
Its glorious arch over all,
Where nothing on me is depending
Or whether | rise or | fall
Here for few days with never
A task l must struggle to do,
Away from the constant endeavor
And the praise and the blame of it, too
just being myself for a minute,
With freedom to think and to pan
The comrnde of lark and of linnet
And trees--and the least of them, man.
Here with the great world about me-
With life in large parcels or small.
That can and will live on without me.
And the same power has fashioned us all!
This kindly old tree shall outlive me,
The lake shall remain when I'm gone,
oh, God, for my boasting forgive me.
For what is my pride founded on?
And what is the noise OF the city,
And what is it's struggle for gold
with its shame and its grief and its pity?--
No more than tale that is told
For the things which shall live on forever
Are not of such struggles as these.
Not the fragments of human endeavor,
But sky, sun and rivers and trees. 1

Echo of the Past.


Editor Morning journal:
In the midst of the many letters
and editorials from various promi-
nent persons throughout our state
all of which find thoughtful and
interested readers, and many OF
these publications touching more
or less deeply needful reforms fol
the better government Of our state
and its various counties, one feels
like believing there are bettet
times awaiting us in the near flu
ture.
In the last ten years we have
made improvements that we once
thought impossible, and now, when
we look back over the political
field. we can scarcely find out the
first power that began to lift us
out OF the very low estate We had
fallen into, politically. We once
looked upon our political environ
ment in a sort OF matter recourse
way, believing there was no rem
edy whereby we might improve orr
condition. Political paralysis had
seized us in good earnest, and
threatened to hold us indefinitely,
But there was rift made in the
dark cloud Of a decade ago Whleh
portends a clear day.
Let me illustrate the low estate
the people had gradually fallen into
in our state, county and city pom
