has been obliged, and she will still
further be obliged, to repair the
ruins which are massed upon her
soil. Whatever happens, even IL
she does not recover a centime of
indemnity, she cannot escape from
that obligation.
What has she spent, and what
will she have to spend on this
work?
Official documents will tell us.
She has already paid between
fifty and sixty thousand millions
of francs to those whose property
has been destroyed. She will! have
to devote a similar sum to the
same expenditure during the next
five years, which will bring the
total to between 100 and 200 thou

It is alleged abroad that COM

very exaggerated basis. It Is

stands, is a business difficulty. The
reason the public has to pay two
prices for it's coal is because the mine
operators and the coal miners unions,
while battling over wages, have devel-
oped an operating system that doubles
the legitimate expenses of coal min
ing. If the 1000 mines were closed
and the surplus 200 600 miners put at
other work, the cost of coal could be
cut in half. But the men who are in
business operating the 1000 mines
want to stay in it, and they desire to
keep the 100000 extra hands as a
business tactic. So the public is the
goat.

HALF OF APPLE CROP DAMAGED


About so per cent of the apple crop
in a 20-mile belt between Grantsdale
and Stevensville, in the Bitter Root
valley, was damaged by a terrific
hailstorm which began at a O'Clock
last Friday afternoon and continued
with great violence for an hour. In
some large orchard tracts, owners
say, from rs to 80 per cent of the
crop was damaged.
The storm was unusually severe.
w. L. Shovel, state horticulturist,
and Prof. F. NJ Harrington, of the
State College, after a survey of con-
ditions in the Bitter Root valley, dis
played apples that had been cut in
two by driving hailstones. Leaves
were reduced to tatters, fruit battered
to the ground, and in some places
branches beaten off, they report. The
cherry crop was also materially dam
aged, but grain is not believed to have
been hurt TO any great extent

LEGISLATIVE FOLLY

If the states would declare a ten
year interregnum in legislation, and
lay off the legislatures for that per-
iod, so that the only laws passed
would be by initiative, probably that
would be highly profitable to the peo-
pie of the United States. All vitality
needed measures could be easily en-
acted by the initiation process, and
fool tinkering with established laws,
such as every legislature indulges in,
would be temporarily suspended.
This tinkering was recently illus
trated by a bill in the California leg
islature to raise The age of major
ity for women from 18 to 81 years, at
least to the extent of forbidding girls
to marry without parental consent
till they were q. The governor,
Friend Richardson, wisely allowed the
bill to die after the ~law-making body
had passed on it. A girl of 10 usu-
ally is as mature as a boy of Fl or
more so.
The experience of society, as re-
conded Tor generations, a warranted
the view that girls should reach their
legal majority at Is. Doubtless some
innovator set up an agitation in Cali
fornia, or at the legislature for a
change in this law, and the legisla-
ture, having nothing better to do, and
feeling divinely appointed to trans
form all human institutions they
could find time to reach within sixty
days, passed the bill.
A principle seldom grasped by the
legislator in state legislatures, be-
cause he is usually unframed in civil
rights and government, is that the
laws governing legal relations and
rights are the fruit of ages of expert.
ence and experiment, and usually en-
body the social wisdom accumulated
to that time. Unless the conditions
of human nature or human life have
so altered that a change is clearly de,
manded in such laws they should MOI
be superseded by the brilliant notions
or fancies Of half-baked innovators.-

PARTY RIGHTS OF WOMEN.

Chairman Adams has yielded suf-
ficiently to pressure for larger repre-
sentation of women in Republican
party councils to appoint an associate
woman committee member, says the
New York Tribune. Until the next
national convention meets it will not
be practicable to change the Repub-
lican party rules so as to admit wo-
men to the national committee on
equal terms and in equal numbers
with men-that is to say, to require
each state to elect one man and one
woman member.
Equality in numbers is provided for
in the Adams temporary scheme. That
is something. But Republican tradi-
ton is offended by the delegation of
power TO existing national committee
men to make personal selections rath-
er than to the state committee, Off
cial party spokesman in the various
states to make representative cleo
tons. The states are supposed to
designate the national committee
members. They do it either in pri-
mary elections or through the agency
of their delegations to the national
convention. In intervals between con
ventions vacancies are filled by the
state committees. This is the meth,
ODD of representative party rule. One
man choice of women associate mem
bers departs from It.

SHOULD CLOSE
1900 Mines

The way to regulate the coal in
dustry is to close 1000 unnecessary
mines. So says a report to the Unit
ed States coal commission, made by
a committee from the United Mine
Workers of America. This would set
free 100000 miners for the needs of
labor in other industries, and Judge
Gary would be glad to have them in
his steel mills, says the Helena Rec
ord-Herald. 1t would also free the
public from the ~unspeakable Oppres-
sion of paying overhead profits on
1000 business concerns not needed to
produce the coal consumed in this
country.
The report flatly places the respOn-
sibility for the present condition upon
the shoulders Of the coal mine operat-
ors. It charges them with a deliber-
ate policy in this matter of keeping
open these 1000 mines, and with keep
ing in the ranks Of coal miners 200,-
900 men more than normally needed.
A newspaper story of the report pub
lished in New York quotes the report
as follows:
"Once the operator hires a man to
work in his mine the union takes him
as a member if he will join. But the
union cannot take him until the OPP
orator has given him a job. If these
operators do not want so many mer
in the industry, then why do they moi
cease hiring more and more men al
the time? The coal operators con.
tinue to carry 100000 surplus men OF
their payrolls and refuse to turn them
loose.
"The union, the operators, the in
dustry, the public and the nation
would be better off If there were A.
600 fewer coal mines and if there werl
200 900 fewer miners with steady EN-
ployment for all of them. But 81

hire more men; so long al they refusi

1t is dead easy for a man to make
a showing for a month, or possibly
six, but it is not so easy to pull right

the number of jobs he completes.
