. A SERIOUS SITUATION
. There is no use in disguising tin
fact that a serious condition exists in
the mining district of this county,
and that recently several acts of
criminal lawlessness have occurred
there. This paDer has had little to
say of these occurrences except to
feive such information as is due our
readers, because foolish newspaper
agitation is a most dangerous thing
in such a situation, can lead to no
good result, and may be exceedingly
harmful. Indeed- it is a generally
recognized fact that intemperate and
distorted newspaper articles are
largely responsible for the blood that
has been shed. Thus aggravated, the
, situation has developed Into one that
In our opinion needs the treatment of
. an iron hand. All the power the law
can muster should be invoked in or
der that its majesty may be main
tained. And everybody mine owner,
mine worker, striker or strike
breakershould be made to toe the
mark, and the slightest over-stepping
or Bounds should land in jail the
' man who does not adhere to the strict
letter of the law, no matter whtt that
inan's position or his . sympathies
may be. " There should also be a

THE UNAFRAID GIRLS
(By Winifred Black, in Atanta
Georgian)-,
A little 13-year-old girl went up to
her room in a hotel the other day and
found a thief going through the bu
reau drawers.
Did she scream and faint in the
good old fashioned way?
She did not. She said:
"What are you doing here?"
And when the man started toward
her, she told him that if he touched
her she'd scream at the top of her
voice. '
"Put those things down!" said Miss
Thirteen-Year-Old to the burglar, "and
leave this room at once!"
The burglar started to obey when
the girl's father came along the hall
and met him just in the very nick of
time.
On the same day, a little farther
along toward nightfall, in the same
city a young woman was hurrying

workers. It does not know all the
facts In the case and it cannot learn
them from the partisan statements
that have been put out from both
Bides. Hence its attitude ia for the
-most part one of suspended Judgment,
i Its chief interest being to see the dif-.
