The selection of District Judge
Charles E. Bunnell as president of
the new Agricultural College and
School of Mines, is deserving of
heartiest commendation. The judge
is an educator by profession, as j
well as a jurist, and in both capac-;
ities he has made good in Alaska, j
And more than that, he is a real :
Alaskan, honestly devoted to the!
welfare and development of the
territory in which he has eiected i
to build his permanent home. He
knows the country, its people, its
needs, and as head of the terri
tory's first big educational insti
tution we predict that he will give
Alaskans reason to be proud of his j
selection. It is a big job, full of
possibilities, but it is not too big;
for Judge BunnelL
With Bergdoll in Switzerland. ^
Kaiser Bill in Holland and Dan
i
Callahan slated for chief deputy,,
the world is at last safe for de- j
mocracy.
_
Winter will come, as winters in j
Alaska have a habit of doing. But j
it is worthy of note that Jack
Frost is delaying his arrival in j
Nenana, as usual. The longest!
growing season in a region of j
short seasons is something to crow,
about.
Right or wrong, it must be said
to the credit of that South Carolina
representative that he is not too
proud to fight.
The country surely will applaud
the action of the house judiciary
committee in blocking the plan to
send General Wood to the Philip-'
pines as governor general. The ap
pointment of an army officer to
such a position, or any other civil
ian position, savors too much of
militarism, of which all of us. and
particularly the Fil'p.V.cs. have al
ready had tco much.

MANY COAL MINERS IDLE;
NO MARKET FOR OUTPUT
INDIANAPOLIS. Aug. 3—Unem
ployment of 150,000 coal miners
daily, with many thousand others
idle much of tne time, is reported
by officers of the United Mine
Workers of America, who assert
the idleness is due to the lack of
a market for coal. State officials
here in touch with the coal trade,
and the coal operators also main
tain there is no market for coal,
adding that a famine is threatened
unless the household consumers lay
in their winter supply now.
Indiana mines, which produce ap
proximately 25,000,000 tons annual
ly, are estimated by officials' to
.have turned out about 10.000,000
tons for the first half of the year,
with the average monthly produc
tion falling below 1,500,000 tons
.for the last three months. More than
half of the time lost this year is
rated by the operators to have been
■ due to “no market’,, For the whole
country, the soft coal production
is said to be 65,000,000 tons be
hind the average of the last four
years. Hard coal production is said
to be slightly higher than in the
last several years.
Thousands of miners have not
worked enough to be listed in the
membership of the union, but the
exact number has not been an
nounced although in Indiana it is
known that the union loss in mem
bership at present exceeds 12,000.
The present total membership is be
tween 17,000 and 18,000, as com
pared with more than 29,000 at
the opening of the year. Union
officials say the only strike or lock
out situations are in Mingo county,
W. Va., and the state of Washing
ton.
Cairy Littlejohn, Indiana state
mine inspector, declare* the 3)0
mines in Indiana are working less
than half time, and he says a fuel
famine is not to be unexpected nn
less the domestic consumers begin
storing the winter supply of coal
now.
Improvement in the soft coal
fields is expected with the approach ;
of fall and several operators are |
planning to sink new shafts, cither,
to open new mines or make more j
profitable the operation of old nines; j
Announcement by the Chicago. Mil- j
waukee & St. Paul railroad that it i
would draw on the Indiana fields
I for practically all fuel for its sys
I tern east of Aberdeen, S. I)., and
1 the Missouri river is also expe'ted
| to be a boon for the coal industry
I in several Indiana counties. The
| railroad recently acquired the Chi
cago, Terre Haute &. Southern rail
road as its coal carrier.
