THE FIGHTING MINERS. It is a deplorable gituation which has developed in the coal fields of West Vir- tina, where for vears some of the worst wtbreaks as the result of labor condi- dons have taken place. It is a section | where it appears to be extremely diffi- wult to bring abomt a reasonable under- standing among those who are directly :omcerned and where force seems to be tbout the only policy that is given much consideration. With the development of what amounts to guerrilla warfare the entire country- side in the strike section is being terror- Ized by those who are resorting to worse thah outlaw methods. Men are being pieked out from ambush and shot down in cold blood and settlements are being subjected to fusillades of shots as a desperats means of trying to impresa] ipon the people involved the justice of the stand which they are taking. Such conduct means that there will be more bloodshed before there is less. It presents a situation which needs to be promptly dealt with and it iz the natu- ral thing that the governor of the state should cail for troops to deal With the sitmation and give protection to the peo- »le against such terrorists. 1t is unfortunate that the coal felds 9t West Virginia should be kept in such tarmoil becamse of the resort to -tactics of that character when other methods w2 desire to see justice done would sbyiate all smch tromble. Conditions in that region may be different than in tome other loecalitfes but the far prefer- ible example which ¢’ set in al] diree- 5 ' ‘| tions ought to be able to penetrats the cnal mining districts of that state. Law- lessness of such a character as breaks out in that region from time to time can- not be tolerated and the authorities of the state do well in taking early steps at this time in calling for troops to meet conditions which local and state forces seem unable to cope with. Fed- eral troops under such conditions should be far more effective than the state mi- litia. ROAD BUILDING. The problem of highway construction is an important one in every state. Con- ditions which face Comnecticut are much the same in neighboring commonwealths. Efforts are being put forth in behalf of elaborate plans for highway extensions and the way to secure the necessary funds for carrying on such work rests between an increase in the automobile licenses, the proceeds of whieh go to road maintenance, bonding the state or boosting the tax to the state in gen- eral, That automobile fees will be raised in most instances seems likely, though pos- sibly not all that is sought. Massachu- setts has not seen fit to establish the au- to rates sought, though an increase wil be made but the public works commis- sloner says that the cost of the plan for laying out $80,000,000 on improved roads in that state in the next ten years should come through higher fees paid by motorists. He sets forth in a cireular that for the period of 1908-1915 the con- struction of highways out of the fees contributed during the period, contem- plated but little change in the cost, or the burden which the highways should carry, but in 1915 the development of the commercial vehicle gar;an calling for heavier road ecomstruction, wider, harder surfaces and more permanent construction from foundation to surface, and that extra cost in the next ten years involves the outlay of $90,000,000. For that reason he believes that the burden of the extra cost should be placed up- on those for whom the additional con- struction is made neeessary. He apparently believes that if the highway system is going to be made to carry the traffic that has hitherto been handled by the raflroads, that traffic should stand the expense of the addi- tional construction just the same as the railroads maintain their own lines with- out gtate bonds or sfate taxation for such maintenance or construction work. Tt is a view of course that brings oppo- sition from the motorists but in the case of Massachusetts one automobile asso- ciation doesn’t believe any such new | highway construction should be attempt- ed. That accords with views that have heen exngessed that it is no time for launching a $20.000,000 road building n in Connecticut. THE ALAND ISLAND AWARD. The commission which was named to determine what should be done with the aims that were made for the annexa- tion of the Aland islands by Sweden, al- though they are and have been in the possession of Finland since that repub- lic wag set up, having made its report grants a certain amount of self govern- ment to the islanders but maintains that they should remain under the control of Finland. Sweden made its claim on the ground the that islands were once a part of that they were taken from it over a century ago, that the great majority of the people are Swedes and for safeguarding their interests and protecting Sweden they ought to be placed under the Swedish flag, or that the islanders should be permitted to de- termine for themselves to which country { they should belong. The_gcommission declares against self determffiation and holds that geographi- cally tMe islands belong to Finland and t it would be unjust to it to have them /in the possession of another coun- try. That the peovle of the islands are almost entirely Swedish. which would ba one reason for feeling they should be at- tached to Sweden, has resulted in a cer- tain amount of protection being given them by the commission in that it is provided that they shall have the right to the use of their own language and will be permitted to name their own gov- ernor. That is a concession of consid- erable importance, and it doesn’t appear that the Islands will be forfeited, which would be the chief danger that Sweden could anticipate. Tt remains of course to be seen what recepjlon the award wHl receive. The submission of such a dispute to an ad- justment of that character means that both sides cannot win. Tt was not what might be regarded as an easy problem but like many other matters which are settled in much the same sort of wav, by the consideration of facts and conditions 1t "Is far vreferable to the resort to foree and the frightful waste that goes with it. EDITORIAL NOTES. The war may be over but there are stil] plenty reminders of fit. There are days when it doesn’t mean much to brag about being as bright as a May morning, At Jeast the recent statement of Thom- as A. Edison has furnished a new goal for the college boys to strive for. The trouble that has broken out in Upper Silesia doesn’t augur well for the peace of that locality in the future. Experts say cotton dresses are to he extensively worn this summer. It of course rests entirely with Dame Fash- ion. Prices ar¢ down but it Is hard to make the blind see and the deaf hear when they maintain a stubborn unwill- ingness. ‘The man on the corner says: Prob- ably the season will not be fally inau- zurated until a fellow gets his first mos- quito bite, Senator Moses cannot feel that the op- | position be showed to the emergency tarift bill carried much weight with his fellow members. Perhaps that commission which hae been handling the Aland fslands affair could be induced to bring about a set- tlement in Upper Stlesta. The fact that $105,000 worth of gold was dra’ fram the treasury depart- ment by the Bergdolls doesn't prove that it was hid In the mountains of a nearby state. While it is a bit upsetting for one who has gone through the war to find his name in the glacker list, it is pos- sible that he is willing so long as those who deserve the publicity are not prevented from getting it. The navy {s reported to be handicap- ped by failure to get airplane carriers. And from the way they are being killed the postoffice department ought to be experiencing difficulty in getting alr mail carriers, THE MAN WHO TALKS Aside from scarcity of rents, the hous- ing problem today is up against a snag, landlords, dogs and children. In the cities of our land where the people, if not exactly Christian, are supposedly hu- man, we find a new classification in which children are reckoned with dogs. It used to be said that corporations had mne souls, which was doubtless true of some corporations. To iodge a similar come plaint against city landlords would be less open to criticism because it is far more obvious. A man seeking a rent to- day is unfortunate if he owns a dog, but vastly more so if he has a child. matters not how able a man may be to pay his rent, or what reputation he has for doing it, if it is discovered that there is & dog or a child in the family, the landlord simply shakes his head says: “Nothing doing.”” The real @ff- ficulty is not the dog but the child, The dog ean be sold or knocked in the head, but mot the childi—as yet. Possibly to meet the reasonable desire of up-to-date landlordism, the innocent little babe ean be eliminated from future society. Is there any good reason why any boy or bunch of boys, should act like hood- jums? If there is no good reason for it there is certainly no excuse. There is nothing whatever in hoodlumism that adds to a boy’s capacity for play” or makes it more enjoyable. It is natural enthusiasm running riot in a boy's life that has never been properly restrained and trained in the home. The boy who is allowed to grow up in the home with no mere cujtivation than a young bull soon becomes a holy terror. The moth- er stands him as long as she can and then shouts at him to “shut up™ which he ordinarilly does for three consecutive seconds. When pandemonium breaks out again she shakes him and puts him into a dark closet “to stay there till he can be 3 good bo; His kicks and yells timft his jail sentence to four mgn- utes and a haif. In a few years he gives public exhibitions of the home training on the streets for the benefit of the com- munity. He has ro respect for private or church property. He breaks windows, defaces property and is a nuisance gen- erally. The police are all right until their backs are turned wher the second act begins. The question still remains: “How shall we deal with the hoodlum problem? Prof. Mansell of Oxford University In 1858 delivered the famous /Bampton lec- tures, his theme being The Limits of Re- ligious Thought. Great controversy fol- lowed the publication of this remarkable work. The older theologians and philos- ophers stood aghast at the statement that the human mind could be conditioned in its investigation of any field whatever. Mansell's mode of thought is being ap- plied to the matter of sacrifice today. How far is one justified in sacrificing for othess. As to the principle of sac- rifice there can be but one defensible posi- tion, and that Is the one laid down in the New Testament. As to its applica- tion, however, opinions may reasonably differ. Hence there are limits to sacrifice. Sacrifice ought to be ccnditioned accord- ing to the merits of the cbject on which it is bestowed. Is a mother justified in sacrificing for an utterly unworthy son or daughter? Ought anybody in Amer- ica to sacrifice to support any fighting factions in Europe, simriy because they love to scrap? Science presumes to speak ex cathedrs: That is, from the bench of high author- ity, and like the early church fathers, is often dogmatic. - In the far distant past belief prevailed in the transmutation of metals a theory which seience brushed aside with a rude hand. But the dis- covery of radium, “the great puzsle of the twentieth centry,” by Mme. Marie Curie has proven clearly that metals are transmutable. From this singular metal enough has been brought to light to establish the possibility that by a pro- cess of evolution elements may be pro= duced from other elements quite dis- tinct from themselves. This great dis- covery suegests the following thought: If there is such a thing as the transmu- tation of metals,why not the transmigra- tion of souls? "Both theories were once held and both denounced with equal se- verity. When the human soul leaves that body what is %o prevent its pow- er of selecting a new form for its out- ward expression? The functions of ra- dium argue in this direction. The chamber of commerce has issued a circular letter in the interests of a clearly city. The idea is in every way commendable. Were we all of us to roll our sieeves up (o the elbow, and go forth “to the mighty conflict” armed with scrubbing brushes and sapolio, the sup- ply would fall far ehort of the demand. Plus all this overtime work would be imperatively needed. Now this Is due to the fact that for long months we have allowed filth and litter to aceumulate. Think not that In the matter Norwich is a sinner above all others, I tell you nay. It is a habit of easy-going America to put off till tomorrow the things they hope they will net be obliged to do at all. Is there a good reason t olet the wreckage of Jate fall and winter lie un- touched until the time comes to plant? Why should every beautiful ravine be looked upon as the natural dumping place for everything we can’t use, sell, burn or give away. Of course it is a fine thing for us all to get down on our knees, event to serub—it limbers the knees up for éther purposes. If we use the clectric cleaner oftener we can let up a bit on the knees and scrubbing brush. In our great industrial centers firebrand literature was sent out by the radicals, in which heroic measures at least were advocated as a cure for the ills of gov- ernment. If this adyice had been taken seriously, as far as all federal buildings are concerned, they would be looking now very much like ancient Jerusalem, “with not one stone left upon another.” Of course, we were all very thankful to wake up Monday morning, May 2, and to find that we had escaped universal chaogs. In fact, it was the mildest May day that the zed world has. witnessed in twenty vears. It was in Mexico where the agi- tator grew reddest in the face but he beat the air in vain, for the crowds re= ceived him in cold silence. It is quite evi. |dent that the condition of Russia, where | these radical ideas have been put on trial, is convincing the proletariat that univer.. sal anarchy is not the road to universal veace and happiness. May 13 is the annmiversary of the first British settlement in the United States at Jamestown in 1607. Nothing is left to mark the spot but a few melancholy ruins. In 1619 it was a lfarge an€ fiour- ishing settlement, its original number having been largely increased by new re- cruits. About this time a. house of bur. gesses was established, which was the first appearance of a British legislative assembly in America. Two causes led to its utter extinction—first, the destruction of most of the houses during Bacon's re- bellion in 1676. and, secondly, the action of the James river in making it a com- plete island. Had it not met with these disasters, in all probability this colony Would not have the record of the Pilgrim settlement in New England. Here was a band of aristocrats Who came for purely, business purposes, not with a mighty po- litical and religious principle that found a congenial soil on this new continent. Tt was not-Jamestown but Plymouth that laid the foundation of America’s great. ness. Many articles are belng written by ex- perts in health journals on the necessity of toning up the physical health of the nation’s young manhood. The result of the examinations of young men for places in the army and navy during the war was an eye-opener. . Over 50 ver cent. on the first examination were rejected as totally unfit for any warlike service. And only 20 per cent. werejfound equal to the se- vere ‘strain of army life. The experts, however, are telling that in most cases {ull health may be had by following a few simple rules: nlenty of outdoor exercise, including fresh air, night and day, enough READY TO CLIMB At a recent meeting of the Royal Geo- graphical Soclety the organization and cquipment of the Mount Everest expe- dition, which it is expected will be cols lected in Darjeeling in the early part of May and begin the preliminary work of the ascent on May 14, were discussed by members of the expedition and of the committee having this matter in charge and addresses made at this meeting were reported in the Geographical Journal for April 1, from which the extracts which follow are taken: Lieutenant Colonel Nr Francis Young- husband, president of the committee, stating the object of the expedition, said that for thirty years at least, that is since General Bruce first put forward the idea, men have had the ambition to ascent the highest point on the earth. It is a very natural and praiseworthy ambition that General Rawling and many of the Alpine club have entertained it. Lord Curzon also intended to further this ambition and sugzested, when he was vieeroy of India, that this soclety and the Alpine club should take the matter up together. And the advantage that will come from ascending Mount Everest is this—that once the highest peak has been climbed men will pluck up courage to ascend all manner of other mountains. Even to the obtuse mass of humanity it will then be evident that men are capable of higher achieve- ment than théy had ever imagjned. As to the advamtage of mouniain climbing in general a Frenchman a few days ago_bore striking testimony. Speak- ing in London at the Institute Fran- cais M. Leon Berard, minister of public instruction, told him his countrymen had shared with Chateaubriand a dislike of ntains, but that the example of the English cured them of their prejudice and revealed to them in a new way the beauty of their country. By gobing in among great mountains, climbing them, getting to know them thoroughly, enter- ing into their spirit, there are beauties to be found in mountains of which the Plainsman never dreams. So the ascent of Mount Everest, by stimulating moun- tain climbing in general, will bring more beauty to light. And beauty is one of the world's greatest riches. Outlining the plans Colonel Howard Bury, chief of the expedition, said that while the main object ‘s the ascent of Everest, there are many impertant sub- sidiary objects to be attained. The whole country to the morth of Everest is com- pletely unknown. The maps we have are all very problematical, and when you see a range of mountains marked in the map you may find .t is a valley or lake. “The government of Tadia,” Colorel Bury said, “has given us the loaa of two officers of the Survey of India, both accustomed to mountain survey, and with them we shall have to work and map the whole of that country to the north of Everest, as well as the Mount Everest group; this alone would furnish a full summer’s work. With these offi- cers will he assistant surveyors and a great deal of work has to be done. The Arun valley is probably ouite wrongiy mapped, and we are very doubtful as to the extct position of those ranges of mountains marked to the north of Ever- est. The draftsman who compiled the map told me they were put in to fill up. “We have a good bontanist and natural- ist and there is every probability of our discovering many new flowers; but that very much deends on how tar the mon- soon currents penetrate up the Arun alley. It is extraordinary on thase dry plains, which look so barren in the photographs, what beautiful flowers there are—most lovely rock plapts, blue pop- pies, primulas and all kinds of delight- ful flowers. There is also the geological work. We are probably getting either an officer or assistant from tne gov- ernment of India for making a geolozi- cal collection. We know ther> large number of animals 1> there. get Ovis ammon, of the sheep in the world ; possibly an antelo; certainly a gazelle and partridges, and there is a great field for a naturalisf. Some of the members of the expedition are leaving very soon and we all hope to collect in Darjeeling in lhe midcle of May and to leave by the 1ith. he government of India is «indly giving us the loan of 100 nuiles for the expedition. This will be tha very greatest assistance 1o us, and we know now we shall have no difficuitiss with the transport. Lord Rona'lshay. the governor of Bengal, is extre ested in the expedirion and we are "ncky in having him there. Colonel O'Connor is political agent In Sikkim, and i's duties carry him right up iato Tibet. He was with Sir Francis Younghusban in the expedition of 1834, There is a very elaborate photographic equinment going out with the expedition, so that we hove to bring back many ‘record: Unfortunately - the camera cannot re- produce the extraordinary beauties of color there are in Tibet—greens and reds and orange under a brilliant blue clear i) The leader of the mountain pariy, Harold Raeburn, belleved that while the mountaineering difficulties were great, they could be overcome by careful organ- fzation of the transport service. Cin- tinuing he said: Noone has cver seen the real ap- proaches to Everest, because its lower slopes have been always concealed by the shoulders and slopes of its mighry nejghbors. I do not think the northern mt at ;;x ar hours, and enough of good wholesome food. Let no one turn these rules down because they are easy. Sunday Morning Talk The Safeguard of a Nation. Righteousness exalteth a nation; but sin is a reproach to any people. Prov. 14:34, the life of a nation has often been numbered in thousands of years, that is a very long life in comparison with the life of an individual; and that fact makes it more difficult for the in- dividual to measure the forces which go to the building up of pulling down of & nation. There two ways which we may See things that affect the life of & nation in their true proporion. We may do o by a study of history, or we may do So by a study of God's laws. In the history of the world we may see clearly that righteousness exalts na- tions and that the lack of it surely leads to their destruction. One nation after another has risen to power through ver- ility that came of comparative righteous- ness, and has finally died out because of immorality and injustice and a gen- eral regard to its purposes and des- tinies. It was 50 with the Egyptian, the Babylonian, the Grecian, and the man Empires. Then we have the case of the Jews. The whole of their history as we have it in the Bible is intended to teach us that righteousness exalts a nation, and that God will not long tolerate a na- tion that becomes unrighteous. The Jews were Dermitted and commanded to drive out the heathen nations of Pales- tine because these had become 8o rot- ten, and the Jews, themselves, were m the end driven from their country and their national power destroyed for the same reason. But 1€ history teaches us the need of a mation has to be righteous, a still more convineing proof of the need may be found in considering that God is just and makes requirements of na: tions as.of individuals and will sure- ly punish all who do not obey. Think what an anomaly it would be if the nations given up to all kinds of licentiousness should prosper, whilst those which _ kept temperate shouid dwindle and dle! Such a result would show that God's laws were not fitted to the buil up of peoples. But it is quite evident God intends that nations should rise by obedience to His will, and if we believe in God's power, we must also belleve in God’'s power, that no nation which resists it by living con- trary to His law can thrive very long. ridge will prove at all possible, because I think calling with MOUNT EVEREST & do not anybody can live at such for such a long time D authorities of Tndia and make a recoanaissance of Kangehenjungs and I think in studying and conditions we can, to a large extent, depend upo>n analsgy. Great snow mountains are Kreat sncw mountains the world over. . “These twe great constellations of peaks, Everest and Kangchenpunga, at no great distance apart, are separated by an enormous river valleys, the Arun, but probably conditions are very much the same. I think #t very unfortunate indeed that or plitical reasons alone Wwe are precluded from taking the easi- est route from the south. We must find some sheltered face route, and I believe that the northeast will Ibe the most fa- vorable, for this reason: that the north- west is probably much Steeper and i* has the cold aspect. Now altitude and cold are the two great things we hsve to struggle against. If we can get on the noftheastern side we shali he much more lkely to have sun ear'y in the morning.. As regards the actual mour- taineering, everything will fdcpend upen the training of the coolies, for I Jo-mct believe that Europeans carry at these heights.” Above 21,000 feet »ne hua to have really well trained and young active men and support them in every way.” C. F. Meade, member of the ommiit- tee on stores and equipmen:, said that he considered the most imvoriant enemy to be combatted was the sun. ‘“The sun at high altitudss 1s a very formidable encmy indeed. To cope with this we are having sunproof material to Dut ovi the tents, and we ars using ‘Whymper tents, wit ha double fly, which have been proved to be the best:temt for high -altitudes. Another great diffi- culty is that at the same time vou are suffering as it were, from chonic sun- stroke you are undergoinz dangzar cf frostbite, and the boots, therefore, are by no means the least imnortant item in the equipment. The patiern of eki boot is the best, as it gives plenty of room for the feet and for circulaticn. Covers are used over the bocis io pre- vent them from comsag into d.rect (cn- tact with the snow. “One of the most encouraging Dieces of news is the accouit of Cantain Mers- head and Dr. Kellas, who reacied the saddle of 23,500 feet on Kamet this year without any suffering whatever and with normal appetite and pulses. The Bho- tias are .certainly some of the finest climbing material in the world. Unfor- tunately they are not Buddists but very strict Hindus and are limited by their religious prejudices about diet, which makes them difficult to cater for on the mountain. The question of food for the coolies is very important. In valid diet is the best way to feed them. a diet suitable for, convalescence, nour- ishing and_appetizing. George Finch, member of the climbing committee, said that “on this expedition remarkable difficulties are not likely to be met with below 20,000 feet. The ascent, however, of the remaining 9,000 feet to the summit of Everest will, if at all, be carried out in ten days or even less, and it seems o me those days will be replete’ With concentrated effort and strain such as no_other expedition has ever demanded. I do not fear our in- abllity to plece out an ultimate route up the mountain. The question Is whether the conditions will allow us to follow the route selected to the summr. On a mountain of such an enormous scale we shall be able to avoid difficuit rock climbing. But I think every one of us will have to call up all he ever knew about snow conditions. “These, to my mind, will our main difficulties. I do not mean we need fear avalanches coming down on us, for no good mountaineer recklessly ven- tures in their path. The great danger will be that at altitudes such as we hope to reach we may meet Wwith conditions of snow such as none of us have ever angle at which snow may be ascended, nothing. As to the question of altitude, Mr. Meade actually camped at 23,600. “Dr. Kellas has recently carried out & valuable series of temperature observa- tions at altitudes varying from 15,000 to 22,000 feet. By a process of extra- polation one can calculate from these data that temperatures of—60 degrees Fahrenheit are quite Tikely, ‘indeed high- ly probable, on the summit of Mount Ev- erest. In other words, the cold on this expedition will in all probability be aretic in its intensity. That in itself may not at first be considered a very serious mat- ter, but it must be borne in mind that at high altitudes which must be attained the rate of evaporation of moisture and the loss of heat from the human body will be far greater than at sea level. One other question, and one which, as far as I am aware, was first recognized by Mr. Meade, is of great importance, and that is the effect of the exposure of the body to ultraviolet light. At high altitudes there are large quantities of ul- traviolet light mot kept back by the at- mosphere. At low sea level we are pro- tected. Ultraviolet rays impigning upon the skin literaliy burn it, and the burn- ing is followed by a feverish condition which hardly seem to me to be con- ducive to health and well being.” ODD INCIDENTS IN AMERICAN WISTORY THE YOUNG REPUBLIC SUBDUES BARBARY Considering the peculiar weakness and insignificance of the Barbary States as a military power, it may well appear strange to the reader of history that ai- most to the opening of the nineteenth century ,nearly all iie maritime nations of the earth paid tribute to that power, in order to appease the insolence and ob- tain exemption from the ravages of their piratical cruisers. As Europe was kept busy with her wars, the Barbary sailors took advan- tage of the opportunity of pursuing their impunity. Most of the European nations outbid one another for the favor of the bey, dey and pasha, and were robbed and enslaved whenever it suited the interests of their highnesses. It was a long time, comparatively, be- fore their highnesses were made acquaint- ed with the fact of there being a sov- ereignty called the United States. In course of time the piratical cruisers descried a new flag floating proudly from the mast head of heavy-freighted craft, which they feit sure would insure addi- tional harvests of plunder. Washington recommended H oSt e o o o inaval |above all the rest He, too, bore 8. tick- United States |®t to teacher, but his speech was differ-{son taketh it and goes fishing. armament adequate to the protection the commerce of the against the depredations of the dey’s cor- sairs, and this proposal received the sanction of congress. Four frigates well protected were built, and_there was re- tribution in store for the Barbary States, to be deait out to them by the youngest and most remote in the family of nations. In obedience to imstructions from Com- modore Dale, Capt. Bainbridge appeared oft the ecities of Algiers and Tripoli, and during the winter and spring of 1802 cruised in different parts of the Mediter- ranean and convoyed the United States merchant vessels issuing from variuos Dports out’ of that infested sea. ‘The first fight occurred on the §th of flag.
