WHOSE COAL. 1H ITf
When the truat wa yet an almost un
heard of element in th busine world,
the private ownership of the coal supply
of the country wa criticiaed and widely
diacusHod. In the mlud of unprejudiced
men tbo Individual ownerahip of the coal
eupply ba long been held a unjust and
dangerou. Now that individual con
trol bo practically given away to the
hearties trust, there I reason for
alarm.
At the present time a the chill blat
of the holiday season are reminding us
of the necessity of a warm fire lu our
home-we can appreciate tho precarious
position, wo are in a u people when we
consider that fifty men could put their
head together and launch a trust of
Mufflciuut power to froezij thi people to
death by the lust of January. Fifty
men at tho bead of thu various coal
combines could abut thu supply of coal
off ou a moment' notice. They could
kill off more people in one month than
any army we could raise could kill lu a
year. Think of tho awful Nufferiiig they
could cause. They could practically de
populate Nebraska In throe week. Thi,
too, lu shutting off the eupply of a Ood
given blenslng a provision mado for
man' benefit, convenience and welfare,
which rank only next in importance to
that of air and water.
Why should any government allow the
blessing of un all-wise Creator to be
held over tbo heads of it people by a fuw
individual? That which wu giveu by
nature to tho whole people ehould be
held in charge for them by their govern
ment. No man should be allowed to
NHculate on those deposit of nature
which Are daily necessities. No man can
or doe create them, and no man can
ootuin any moral right to individual
ownership of them, If It Is right for
ayndlcutoN to own tho coal eupply, it I
right (were it possible) for them to own
the eupply of air. They are allowed the
former privilego by law, und law may
yet give thoin tho privilege of allotlng
license for use of air.
When fifty men can control tho coal
supply of a nation, the Name fifty moo
can Nay just how long the government
will endure, and make whatever demands
ou tho people they see fit and enforce
them under penalty of death from cold
for failure of compliance.
The conl I tho property of the people.
Ood gave it to them, and no trust or
individual should bo allowed to rob
them of their own.

Treason Is tha worst of crime. It I
equally bud whether it bo treusou to a
friend or treason to country. Tho man
who will commit the one, would be
guilty of the other. It is an oxaKgerated
case of ingratitudo, which Shakespeare
tin called "The Haaest of Crimes." It Is
a crime that should not bo excused or

nothing. The mun who traitorously

Jump, Mr. Woleol t, Jump I
It I difficult to realize bow any lutelli
gont man can fail to understand Presi
dent McKlnley' position ,on the money
question, Senator Woluott of Colorado
appear to bu iu doubt whether Mr.
McKlnley favors the single gold stand
ard or bimetallism. It is reported that
Heuator Wolcott will Insist that Mr,
McKlnley shall either repudiate the gold
standard or repudiate bimetallism.
Henator Wolcott ought to reread Mr.
McKlnley' message of December 0.
Throughout that message Mr, McKlnley
showed that ho wu completely commit
ted to the Idea that all demand note
must be redeemed In gold. He asserted
that the government would continue to
redeem it obligation in gold, allhotiirl:
ho admitted that "nobody 1 obliged to
redeem In gola but the government."
Mr. McKlnley committed himself to
the theory ol greenback retirement wheu
lie said:
"1 earnestly recommend, us soon as tho
receipt of the government uro auitn suf
Helen t to pay all the expenses of the
government, thut when any of tho I nltei
States notes are presented for reilemp
tiou In gold, such note shall bo kept am,
et apart, and only paid out in exchange
lor gold. '1 his I an obvious duty. If
the holder of the United States note pre-
tcrs the goui anil get it irom thoaov
eminent, he should not receive buck
from tho government a United States
note without paying gold In return for
It. Tho reason for this Is made all the
more apparent when the government
Issues an Interest-bearing debt to pro
vide gold for redemption of United
States uotes a non-interest bearing
debt. Surely it should not nur them
out again except oa demand and for
gold. H they are put out In any other
way they may return ugain. to be fol
lowed by another bond issue to redeem
them another Interest-bearing debt."
The president also showed hi partial
Ity for Kecretury (lago' schema, first
when he permitted bl aecretary of the
treasury to recommend such a scheme,
und second, when the president said:
"The secretary of the treasury bus
outlined a plan in groat do tall for the
purpose of removing the threatened re
currence of a depleted Jfold reserve anc
save us from future embarrassment on
that account. To this plun I invito
your careiui consideration, ' -
According to the reports of Senator
wolcott s friend "either rrosideut Mc-
Kinley and Secretory (Jngo are at vari
ance, or Senator Wolcott and his sym
piithizers are utterly deceived as to the
president s attitude.
The public bus no means of knowing
just what basis Senator Wolcott bas for
his opinion concerning the president's
attitude. Hut if Senator Wolcott bus
been deceived be must have placed great
reliance upon personal assurances, which
it would seem buvo been more than
counterbalanced by Mr. McKinley's pub
lie acts. If President McKlnley and his
secretary of tho treasury were at viir
lance on this ouostion tho secretary
would not have recommended the adop
tion of bis detailed scheme and the pmd
dent would uot nave invited the "care
ful consideration" of that scheme on the
part of congress.
The McKlnley admidistration is a gold
standard administration and it is not
creditable to Senator Wolcott' Intelli
gence that he bus been deceived (or so
long a period of time.
If Senator Wolcott and Chandler aro
biinetallists they might as well come
over at once to the side of the bimetal
lists. They owe it to themselves, bow
ver.'to become at once undeceived as to
tho attitudo of the administration an
attitude that, wliilo it may be doubtful
to Wolcott and Chandler, is as plain a
day to the masses of the American pco
pie. World Herald.
