•political affairs in town, city, county
and state, and there was a popular
impression that Washington was their
lead-pipe-sinch. This condition gave
birth to “insurgents” in the Republi

the Republican and Democratic parties
and - there also appeared a lot of Social
ists', and other radicals, all of whom
have been running wild throughout
the land, do ; ng considerable good

changes in the public temper has been
that popular government * has never
prospered more in the United States
than during the past ten or fifteen
years. The votcis of the country
literally took the capitalistic interests
across their nees and paddled them
good; and the intelligent observer
must agree that the operation was a
fine thing for the country.
The wage-earners of the country
looked on at this performance and
applauded heartily. When the chas

. LAW ENFORCEMENT
Law enforcement in connection with
the prohibition law. is occupying the
attention of the prohibition leaders
thes'e days. The state headquarters of
the Anti-Saloon League of Georgia
has joined forces with the national
organization in holding meetings to
discuss the subject. Colonel Geo. M.
Napier, the well known lawyer of
DeKalb county, fovmerly solicitor
was invited tilts week to make a
general of the Stone Mountain circuit,
speech to a committee of the League
on law enforcement. He was pre
vented from accepting the invitation
on^pccount of court business, but he
prepared a paper on the subject which
was read and it elicited -many favor
able comments. Col. Napier, it is
understood, will be a candidate for
attorney general of the state, though
as yet he has made no formal an
nouncement. He is regarded as one
of the most astute' lawyers in the
state, and has many personal friends
in almost every county.

COAL MINERS HAVE GRIEV
ANCES
Mr. W. E. Hewitt has arrived from
Sandersville and in a few days will
take charge of the -Light and Water
plant. Mr. Byron Kirby also returned
with him.

The coal miners have, without
question, good grounds for complaint
against their employers, since the con
ditions in the coal regions do not
properly take jnto account the rights
of the workmen. The popular impres
sion that the miners are striking for
a shorter day is wrong; since their
contention is to provide steadier em
ployment instead of sudden shutdowns
which the operators order whenever
the demand for coal slackens. This is
one of the burdens that the miners
do not believe they should be called
upon to bear. Despite all sorts of
denials it has come generally to be
believed that the operators manipu
late coal prices by juggling the supply
and this belief is borne out by volumi
nous figures and tables introduced in
to the Congressional Record by Seno-
tor Owen. The coal miners and the
public are - always the sufferers; and

The Government recognizes that it
has a solemn duty to perform in the
coal regions , and if conditions are as
they appear at this writing it is prob
able that even in the coal mines there
will be beneficial effects, from an era
'of “house-cleaning.” The coal mining
crisis appears to be clearing, the at-
' TSetwedn’ employers ' and employes—
mosphere for better understandings
and if the labor leaders have thorough
ly learned their lesson real progress
in bettering the industrial situation
may be expected.
In the hope of finding a better
method than strikes’and lockouts the
President of the United States as
sembled the representatives of capi
tal and labor in an Industrial Confer-
ence in Washington, and at the criti
cal time in the-proceedings President
Wilson sent a message from his sick
room appealing to the delegates to
stick to the task and bring about a
plan upon which employers and em
ployes could operate the industries of
the country without strikes, lockouts
and other disturbances. Samuel
Gompers and his group of labor lead
ers threw defiance to the President,
to the Conference and to the Nation,
and bolted; with the resultthat the
proceedings came to" a close. The
steel strike was at its height, and the
only prospect for betterment of the
condition of the wage-earners in that
industry laid in the Conference itself.
Next came the coal strike, and the
Government again patiently coun
seled. against it, and offered every
facility to secure justice for the dis
putants. The leaders of the strike
defied the Government, and Mr.
Gompers proved to be the worst hornet
of all. This was the same Samuel
Gompers who has been pointed out as
the “sane leader" andthe "“great pa
triot.”
What happened is too well known
to need retelling, and whether or not
the , Attorney General was justified
in invoking “government by injunct

final result is themore important, and
the only conclusion is that the labor
leaders blundered on, to their own un
doing. j ,
The labor leaders got tho same
treatment that was administered to
autocratic capitalists years ago. It
they got It for the same reason that it
was Spanking Number Two. And
