COAL PRODUCTION

At the time the coal strike was started it was noted that the date for it had been set with due regard to it's probability of immediate success. Those back of the strike wanted it to be as complete a demonstration as possible from the very first day. It was decided to order the miners to remain away from their jobs on a Monday which followed not only the usual Sunday holiday but a Saturday holiday as well-a day when the achievements of a former strike were to be celebrated.
 It is not easy to get down to work again after a two-day vacation. Work CTS want little more of the same" It was not as difficult, therefore, to persuade miners to stay at home on that particular Monday as it would have been had the first day of the valkout been set for another day.
 Now, however, the strike has been on for some time. The natural re- action is setting in. The results of such action are beginning to be seen. Mines are being operated, The pro duction of coal this week will be about 4.7oo.ooo tons. it is estimated,

JEFFERSON DAVIS

The anniversary of the capture of Jefferson Davis, and the "reminiscences the repetition of his name inspire, bring up picture of an old-fashioned gentleman of the South fervent in his defense of what he considered his country's rights, unbending, unyield- acterstics to be beneath the dignity of one such as he.
 And there is another side to the picture for those who knew of him through intimate acquaintance with Mrs. Jefferson Davis and her daugh- ter, Winnie Davis, as she was known. In this picture there is the proud courtesy of the strong man, sure of himself but gentle and loving to the women of his household and to those he made no secret of considering be- meath him in social standing, in posi- ton. There was an egotism without petty conceit a vanity that did not belittle.
 That Jefferson Davis was terribly wrong; that this country would not have been the power in the world it is today had his advice prevailed, there can be no question. But there may be no question, too, of the al tered manner in which men and wom- en of this time view radical opinions and those who give them voice. This is a day of radacalsm clad in broad cloth, silk or gingham or overalls. Radacalism creates no stir now as it did in the time of Jefferson Davis. Individuality is having its day.
 But with it all it is to be regretted that, with the stage all set for the entrance of men whose individuality, given chance, would accomplish much good, as Jefferson Davis did not, there is sad lack of leaders possessing the strength of personality that was his.

VIOLENCE

After pausing. appalled, at the spectacle presented by the conditions in Chicago, where 400 men are under arrest charged with knowledge re- sarding the killing of policemen in what Is said to be a war instsated by labor, one falls back upon the conviction that labor cannot be re- sponsiblc for the perpetratlon of such crimes if they were the result of action determined upon by the ex- pressed wish of individuals. Threats and suggestions of a labor war have been made for years, but the time Is not here when such conflict is inn minent nor will that time ever come is the firm belief. Moreover no matter to what pitch of anger labor is rous- ed, no organized warfare against those who control capital would be begun with crimes such as those al- legged to have been committed in Chicago.
 The action of the citizens com mittee to rid the city of gunmen labor leaders, indicates that there must be some smoke where there is such flame, and that labor lead CTS are implicated in plots which have not yet been sifted to the bottom. The immediate hope is that the guilty will be found and the innocent freed from the stigma of complicity in crime. It is dangerous time for citizens of Chicago, but it is time more dan- gerous for labor

BOYS AND BICYCLES

Principal French of the Central Junior High school has arranged to have boys cautioned who ride bi- cycles in the streets. They are in- structed to ride in a straight line, or, or course to turn, when necessary, in such a way that the drivers of motor or horse vehicles behind them, will be able to figure as to where they are going. "Woobling" on bicycles, and executing all sorts of movements, is the source of great danger and should be avoided.
 The warning is a timely one. Re gently there have been many cases of minor accidents in which automobiles figured, as we'll as bicycles and motorcycles. The ease with which the smaller means of transportation are manipulated makes it quite common for their operators to forget the ordi- nary rules of the road and to turn quickly. without warning, with risk to themselves and others. Boys especial
 y should be cautioned that they must remember when they are in the road to ride in accordance with the traffic regulations. Emphasis should be
 laid on this point.
 Similarly pedestrians should re- member that they must not dart this way and that while crossing or walk ing in the street where vehicles are constantly passing. Many accidents are caused by the forgetfulness of pedestrians, avoiding one vehicle, of the fact that another is probably coming in another direction. Every one using the street has right to rely on the comomn sense of others using it. No one is to be blamed for an accident which results from thoughtless, eccentric actions or driv- ing on the part of others-no one is to be blamed except the thoughtless person himself.

SWEET OLD .sGE.

From fts pedestal of perfection. cssfed into brittle beauty by the passing Of precious years, even as the arteries of the human body become fixed as age comes on bringing won drous wisdom and self complaisant consciousness thereof. the dear old Hartford "Courant" looks down upon yearning youth which has the temer- fly to state modestly that it is right. eyes which see through long years achievements of the past in which those weak windows of the soul see no error, the tradition bound vehicle of virtue deprecates virility char acteristc of youth and rests content to murmur feebly in voice which the ages have made pitifully ineffec- tive. the old, old slogan of the aged: When you grow up, my child, you will know better"
 Sad spectacle, Youth bows it's head in remorse for the pain it has produced in the hoary heart of the pedantic publication. And youth closes it's comment on discussion and says, head barred in bitter self re- proach: Its all right, dear old Cour- ant. realize your eyes are weak. I am sorry l did not take that into ac- count 1 respect your years, dear old Courant andSI shall try to profit by your example when I grow up, and shall try to remember that mere age will not make me always right To show you dear old Courant, that you misjudged me I will make you happy by telling you that I was not doing the thing you accused me of doing. You said this morning; 'Dsputing The Courants contention that the republi- can city ticket, except ex-Mayor Qufgley, was elected in in New Brit ain, the Herald of that city digs up
 
 dermen elected in democratic wards. These candidates, we beg to submit, were on neither city ticket Neverthe- less we appreciate the Herald's kind ness in offering to correct us'"
 "No, oh, thou ancient modest Youth continues, "I did not dispute your contention regarding the candi- dates on the city ticket. Another youthful admirer of your years prob- ably led you into the error you made It was the mistake of this other youth, namely that mo democratic cand- date other than Mayor Paonessa was elected" which I sought to correct and which you had emphasized as only one of your years is able to em- phasize statement The democrats l named, as being elected, certainly were candidates. There was nothing said oh, thou ancient one, about city tickets in the sentence in question A no gently, dear Old teacher Of teCh- nicalities, even so gently, may l add that I did not mention few alder men, as stated by you today in your sweetly generous way--I mentioned but one alderman But then, as you might so wisely remark, what's the difference of few aldermen between friends? Farewell, sweet friend, till we meet again over some pretty point of pettiness. When I grow up to mans estate and your soft resting place, where there is no strife and where is heard only the gentle strum- ming of golden harps, may I be as happy as you, in your matured wis dom of the ages, know that you de- serve to be. And may l profit, in my old age, from your example-and be different, oh so different, having also, ideas of my own"-but not akin to yours. @
