ILLINOIS WAKING UP.

The disgrace that has attached to H. linois, first. because of the wholesale murders at HeTin in the coal strike and second. because of the indifferent attitude of the state authorities towards efforts to trace out and apprehend the perpetrators of the outrage, is at last arousing some of the people of the state. It is belated action, coming, as it does. some two months after the crime, but it is a hopeful indication that the fair name of Illinois will be pumged of the stain upon it.
 Attorney General BrSIndage has been investigating the crime but has been able to do little because of lack of funds since Governor Small vetoed the greater part of the appropriation for his office, leaving him only money enough to carry on the ordinary routine work. To meet this emergency the state cham Der of commerce has issued an appeal to raise $25,0 for the purpose of bringing the murderers at Herrin to justice. The bodies affiliated with the chamber have been assigned the sums which they will be expected to contri- bute and there is little doubt that the money will be raised. The appeal re ClLeS tIle CIllIIl0 III OuLl!l6 dHQ ddQ5 The state of Illinois is on tdtal. Our citizens visiting elsewhere have been compelled to hang their heads in shame The world is asking us What are you going to do about it""
 That is all true enough. The perpe- trators and defenders of the erdEne have relied upon the hope that ''the thine would blow over" as so many outrages and crimes have blown over in the rapid succession of big issues in this country That hope has seemed we'll founded un- til now. This organized effert of tht representative commercial body of thu state to see that the good name of Ill neis is protected and that the men wht have defied her laws and her standart of civilization are brought to justice may succeed in showing that mob law ii not to be tolerated. For the good name of Illinois and of the country it is to b. hoped that the investigation of the Her rin slaughter may succeed in puntshins | the men guilty of it.

CHILD TRAINING
NATURE STUDY FOR LITTLE CHILL

By Augusta M. Swan.

By Augusta M. Swan.
 When Froebel was looking for a name suitable for his system of education. he did not call 1t Child School" or Child House." but Child Garden" and he in- tended that the gardener of the kin dergarten should be the teacher herself.
 Nearly half of FroebePs Mother Plays deal with the things of nature. At one time he said. "A little child that freely seeks flowers and cherishes and cares for them in order to wind them into a bouquet for parents or teachers cannot be bad child, or become a bad man. Such a child can easily be led to the love, and to a knowledge of his Father -God-who gives him such gifts"
 Love of nature is the heritage of child of every land, be he black. white or yellow.
 All nature Is akin to childhood: birds, animals. flowers, insects are all beauti- full to children. even the lovely crawiy caterpillar" and the creepy snail"
 We all know how a dog will allow a child to stumble over him. recognizing the action by only an expression of long suffering indifference: he will stand all kinds of teasing which he would not tol- crate from an adult.
 There seems to be a silent but mutual understanding among young animals of all kinds whether they have four legs or two
 As primitive man opened the early scenes of his life among the wonders of nature. so the child needs the expert l ence of the race in nature wonder and play. All natural phenomena are mat | ters of personal interest to the young child and towards the moon. stars. sun wind and rain he feels the inherent in | terest of the race.
 It Is well to be able to tell the chil. dren the names of the plants and flow, CTS they bring, and to awaken in then
 a longing to know more of the wonder full life of the bird, bee and other in ! sects

TOO MUCH COAL.

In an address to the Federated Amer lean Engineering Societies, one of tht large coal producers of the United States. Francis S. Peabody of Chicago has been telling what, in his judgment. Is the matter with the coal mining tn- dustry in .th4s country Too muct coal" says Mir Peabody, '7aas become a national menace to the industry and To the pocketbool0s of the consuming public and Is costing Americans st cents for every ton dropped into their oins"
 This paradox has come about through The increase in the number of American producing mines from 5000 previous tc the war to 10000 at the close of the war. These mines, if operated continuously would provide twice as much coal as is required for the uses of the people oi hhe United States. Of the 100000 min. FITS employed in the bituminous coa. selds the services of at least 200, 0o0 are sot needed to meet the requirements O. coal production. The natural result O. shis superabundance of mines and min. CTS is much unemployment Each 0, the 10000 mines average 100 idle work. ng days in every year. The waste through overdevelopment from which the people of the nation suffer because r makes their coal expensive Mir. Pea. body places at $400, 900, 900 annually $40 900 paid as return on an invest ment of S650 900, 900 in needless mines s3o0.000.000 in wagas of unnecessary miners and 50.o0o, 900 or more as the annual cost of upkeep of mines durinl periods of likeness.
 The coal strike arose out of the diff culty that attends not alone the pay ment of living wages to miners wh, have only part-time work but also tn profitable operation of mines in whicl the production of coal is unduly expen Eive
 Mir. Peabody says that the remedy fo he i'll state of things Is free competition Ernong coal producers. This Is the on natural remedy The mines that cal produce and market coal at the cheap est rate are the mines that under com petStive conditions could give steady em ployment to their working forces. Tn mines that cannot compete under fai terms would have to shut down.
 Certainly the consumers should nc have to go on paying profits to super duous mines and wages to super1uou miners who could be prohtaly empboye
 the year around in other industrie rhere Is no good reason why abnorms conditions In coal production should r fostered indefinitely to the great los and hardship of the American pubMc.

Using Soft Coal.

MT. Editor: May I take a little of your time and space to make a few remarks and observations on the coal situation What I am to tell here, will be Kny own experience in a residence of over thirty years in the middle west. Over 20 years in one of the largest cities in these United States. In this city we used over ten years soft or bituminous coal for cooking. Why? Because it is the cleanest and best fuel for that purpose It lights easily, makes hot fire, and you can let 1t go out and make up new fire and have it going in a few minutes-se quick that you get things nearly ready to cook-i. e. stew, boil or bake, before making your fire. That is the reason hotel ranges-of even seventy to a hundred feet-in their kitch- ems, till they commenced to use gas and electricity in Chicago, and in fact all over that territory, used soft coal There was a time when hotel man could not keep cook" and use anything else. They would walk out if they found when they got to the kitchen any other fuel. Now the dealers here may not have had a demand for that quality or grade of soft coal, that is used for domestic pur- poses, and so may not have had any, but the grade for boilers. But the "soft coal strike" is over; the hard coal we will not De ape IO ODldlH DSiOIc even if they commence to mine 1t in 2 week or two, so we are going to be obliged to use soft coal. So let us make up our minds to it. and try to get deal CTS to get a kind of 1t that will be suit able for the purpose for 1t is be had, really ought to stop now, but I must add first I did not buy 8 new stove eacf spring. and I also burned soft coal in my 1 furnace. I used a furnace made in th' | east for hard coal. I burned for three | successive winters the mine-run o "smokeless coal" so-called. That was, { | lot of 1t small as sand, and Jumps al i big as a bushel basket. It made l cleaning of furnace and pipes-abou every month or six weeks, but I savet money and got hotter fire than I eve had before A good soft coal mixed witl pea coal makes a good fuel. I hay used it, but can we get it? l have use' wood also as a fuel in furnace. pr. wood and green together and not to- long. nor made too fine, is pretty goo fuel with some soft eoal-large piece If possible-put on the coals at night t keen the fire In the country, in terri tory I mentioned, that is the only kin of fuel they use.
 Respectfully submitted.

in 1888 and during the following years he spoke in the principal English speak ing cities of the world. He was a Phi Beta Kappa and member of the Phi Kappa Psi Fraternity. He wrote sew eral books most of them dealing with prohibition. His home was at Madison, Wis.
 It Is related that although Woolley was a brilliant orator and able lawyer in his youth, he was then addicted to drink and through the use of intoxieants lost his practice. At various times he tried to break the habit but would fail and go back to drinking. In New York, where he had been reduced to little better than a vagabend, he began at tending temperance lectrkes. He re- alized from his own experiene what drink could do to undermine mans business and happiness. Tn his sober moments he lent his eratorical powers to the cause. Eventually he won the fight with his own appetite and from then on he was one of the most prominent hg- ures in the prohibition crusade. In 1900, Wooiley was the prohibition party's nominee for the presidency. AL though he toured the country and made an eloquent appeal for votes he received only 20S,914 as compared with 6,S5S,133 for Bryan and 7,207,923 for Mckinley, i This illustrates how little thought was given to prohibition as a national issue less than a quarter of a century ago However, Woolley ftved to see his doc ] urine adopted as a part of the federal constitution and to see Bryan, one of the men who had opposed him for president spending most of his time speaking !H behalf of the cause Wooiiey had es- poused.
