Take the battle for the minimum wage fought by the British €oal miners. In addressing the strikers, Premier Asquith said: _ “It is a result which you are trying to achieve, not for the purpose of raising the wages of coal miners as a whole, because the great bulk of the miners already get more than the minimum {wage you are trying to achieve, but in the interest of those who eannot effectively care for themselves or attain their own feasonable ambition. In that sense, IT IS AN U ‘ISH - DEMAND on the part of the great bulk of the miners. _ And when the mine owners promptly conceded the demand fim several districts the strikers refused toaccept unless the same Benefits were conceded to their brothers in all other districts. . That is true brotherhood... The men who crawled out of the imy pits of England to protest against the treatment of those ast favored by fortune say with bluff old Walt Whitman: “I will have nothing that ALL cannot have the counterpart of on the same terms.” When men who are well enough off themselves are ready to suffer and sacrifice in order to pull other men up to a decent dard of living there's hope of a better civilization.

The New York Sun takes five columns to tell the story of the estrangement between Taft and Roosevelt. The truth can be told in one sentence: Taft betrayed the Roosevelt policies. They charge that democrats carried North Dakota for Bob LaFollette. We guess that any republican who carries the country this ear is going to need a whole lot of democratic votes. trustees asked for itemized bill.
