No. 13\nTHE WEEK, SATURDAY, APRIL 27, 1907\nOne Dollar Per Annum\nThe Editor's Review\nOf Current Topics.\n\u25a0Che Seal Issues.\nAt, the time of writing\nthe conference between\nthe coal operators and\nIhiners of East Kootenay and Western Al-\nIierta is still in session, although it is\nllmost certain that before publication a\n\u25a0 modus vivendi\" will have been found\nInd work resumed, at least temporarily.\nIf that happy result is attained, an op-\nlortunity will be provided to negotiate a\nlermanent agreement and at the same\nne to test the efficiency of Mr. Lemieux'\nLet. In this connection it must be con-\nJsded that the appointment of Sir. Wm.\nJlulock as the third member of the Con-\n\u25a0liution Board, is a good omen, since his\nlersonal character and public position will\n|i(.ow the proceedings Avith a dignity and\nleigh't altogether favourable to a satisfac-\nTry settlement and in any event reassur-\nRg to the public confidence. At the mo-\nlent The Week is not desirous of saying\nlaything which could possibly militate\nrcainst a truce. If the men return to\nlork, a series of articles will appear in\nlir columns from a coal expert dealing\nIthaustively with the whole question of\nliel in the West, the best means of ensur-\nIig an adequate supply at all times, and\nlicidentally with the economic and legal\nIpects of the labour question as they af-\nIct coal mines. At the present moment\nI may render a service by directing pub-\n1 attention to matters which are not genially known, Avhich have a vital connec-\nJm with the subject and without a due\nInsideration of which it is impossible to\nlrive at a correct conclusion. The first\n1 these is that the official representatives,\nIth of the coal operators and the miners,\nIve been guilty of sharp practice in what\n\"Albertan\" denominates \"jockeying\n. position.\" In other words they have\nfen more intent upon playing the game\nhording to the rules of poker, which is\nmire game of bluff, than in seriously\nEking a way out of the difficulty. Mr.\npnieux stated in the House on Tuesday\nit he had been inundated with telegrams\nfm both sides, and plainly intimated that\nchief burden of their cry was one of\nlusation and recrimination. The only\n_nent which any public journal is\n\u25a0led upon to make is that men who are\nliable of descending to as low a level as\nJs, and indulging in the commonest tricks\n[the professional political heeler, when\nly are charged with the grave responsi-\nIty of advising their colleagues in the\ne of an industrial crisis, are totally\nit to occupy the position in which they\n-e heen placed, and should be removed.\n|s hardly likely that such a happy result\nJl be achieved immediately, therefore it\nIwell for the public to know the kind\nrame that is being put up, in order that\n|nay be assessed at its true value. The\nimportant point is that by common\nIsent there is no hope of permanent\nce as long as the making or carrying\nof an agreement is in the hands of\nIsident Lindsay of the Coal Owners' As-\nlation. On this subject The Week is\nto have some prejudice; it therefore\nttes thc opinion expressed above from\n|editorial columns of thc Nelson News,\nDaily Canadian, Thc Moyie Leader,\nI the Kamloops Standard, These papers\n|ny rate must be regarded as unbiased,\nseeking only to protect the great in-\n|sts affected by a strike, and they are\nlit in this expression of opinion. It is\nIlly necessary to say that the miners\nhaye long ago spoken with no uncertain\nvoice to the same effect, and they allege\nthat more than one strike in the past has\nresulted from breach of faith and consequent loss of confidence in this man. The\nnext point to bear in mind is that while\nthere are minor details such as have to\nbe regulated in the formation of any wage\nscale, and which can only be arranged between experts, there are only two important issues at stake in the present contest,\nthat of an increase of wages and an eight-\nhour day \" bank to bank.\" Of the former\nmatter little need he said, because, after\nrunning the bluff of demanding a reduction\nof wages on the Sth of May, the ill-advised\noperators expressed their willingness to\nconcede a 10 per cent, increase, a ' volte\nface \" as remarkable as is sometimes experienced in political warfare. It may,\ntherefore, be taken for granted that there\nwill be no serious opposition to this, and\nthat any minor adjustment of rates will\nnot affect the general increase. Here\nagain the operators have been guilty of\nmisrepresentation in trying to convey the\nimpression to the public that the men's\nearnings were very much greater than is\nreally the case. The Calgary Herald, an\noperators' organ, spoke of men earning\n' $1,500 a year \" on an average \"; the Fernie Ledger, which is in a position to ascertain the facts, has carefully investigated\nthis and in a three-column article published on April 20th, carefully analyses\nthe pay-roll at Fernie and Coleman, and\nconclusively shows that the average earnings of the miners, who are the highest\npaid men, did not exceed $78.00 per\nmonth, or $3 per day for full time, but the\nmen never work full time, and the Ledger\nconcludes that $750 a year is a high average for the two districts named. Of course\nthese figures will be looked into by the\nConciliation Board, and as The Week has\npreviously pointed out, one of the most important contributions they can possibly\nmake to the settlement of industrial disputes is to give the public authentic information. In this connection another fact\nshould he mentioned, viz., that the standard cutting rates paid to miners at Fernie\nof 50c and 55c per ton, are the same as\nwere first established there when the mines\nwere opened in 1897. It has never been\ncontended that they started at too high a\nlevel, in which case it is obvious that the\nmen are entitled to a substantial increase\nsince the purchasing power of money in\nthe district, or to put it in other words, the\ncost of living, has been varied against the\nworkmen lo the extent of 25 per cent, or 30\nper cent. Before leaving this question of\nwages, let it be said that a coal miner's\noccupation is different from that of any\nother worker. He is in a class by himself, tlie hardships, and the risks of his\nemployment exceed those of any other, ln\nthe Roman Catholic Cemetery at Nanaimo,\nto quote the graphic words of a well known\nmember of Parliament, \" 75 per cent, of\nthe men buried there died witli their boots\nnn,\" and of the men buried in the Protestant Cemetery at the same place, 47 per\ncent, shared a like fate. An examination\nof the death roll at Fernie would reveal a\nsimilar condition, and when the public are\nnsked to judge upon the adequacy of the\nearnings of a conl miner, they should take\nthis into account, and remember that his\nwage is a payment not only for labour but\ntoo often for life. On the other great\niss-ue, tliat of the eight-hour day, it is diffi\ncult to speak in moderation, because it is\nthe law in British Columbia, and would\nhavc been the law in Alberta by this time\nif the Government of the latter Province\nhad not broken faith with the miners' representatives and failed to give legislative\neffect to their promise. An eight-hour day\nbank to bank, which means counted from\nthe mouth of the shaft or entry, is now all\nbut universally conceded. There is no\nfavourable condition in the Alberta coal\nmines which entitles them to be differentiated from those in B. C. The attempt\nto postpone the concession is doomed to\nfailure because it is a retrograde movement, and ooposed to the whole trend of\nmining legislation. The Week has no hesitation in predicting that the permanent\nresumption of work will be absolutely impossible if the operators persist in their\npresent attitude on this question. From\nthe above remarks it --.vill readily be seen\nthat the whole question as far as the operators is concerned, is one of cost, and here\nagain it is only fair to say that the public\ndo not possess reliable information. It\nis not correct, as has been represented, that\nmine owners are making large profits; indeed, it is not true in any single case.\nThis is due to the following circumstances:\nFirst, that capital outlay has in most instances been excessive; secondly, that\nwestern conditions were not well understood when original estimates were made,\nand the cost of materials in particular has\nbeen vastly higher than was expected;\nthirdly, the unparalleled prosperity which\nCanada and the United States have enjoyed during the last four or five years,\nand the industrial expansion resulting\ntherefrom have created an unprecedented\ndemand for labour, and greatly enhanced\nits value. On the other hand, exceptional\nconditions have prevented the operators\nfrom securing an excessive price for their\nproduct, the circumstances are not to be\nin any way regretted, as the expansion of\nthc Canadian West depends upon cheap\nfuel, but what between Governmental and\nRailway control of prices, operators have\nnot been able to secure an advance commensurate with the increased cost. There\nis no doubt that the men will get their increase in wages; there is no doubt that\nthey will get their eight-hour day bank\nto bank; there is equally no doubt that the\nconsumer will have to pay the increase\nwhich this will make in the cost of production. This increase in the case of those\nmines which are already operating on the\neight-hour system will not exceed 10c per\nton, to those who will bc forced to adopt\nthe eight-hour system, it will for a few\nyears mean an increased cost of 25c a ton,\nand there cannot be a doubt that there is\nnot a man in the Canadian AYcst who\nwould not pay this comparatively trifling\nadvance rather than be subjected to the\npersonal inconvenience and loss which have\noften resulted from the strikes and lockouts of the past, and are just as certain\nto occur in the future unless a remedy can\nbe found. In this connection The Week\nis a strong advocate for the cancellation of\nthat clause in the charter of the Crow's\nNest Pass Coal Co., which limits the selling price of their coal to $2 a ton; even if\nthe clause were effective, which it has\nnever been, it is unfair, since it allows of\nno elasticity in the wages schedule which\nshould be governed to some extent by selling price. It would be better for all\nparties if this handicap were removed, and\nthe Company allowed to compete on equal\nterms with other producers. As long as\nthe present system continues, the Company\nwill always be in a position to proclaim\nthat it is impossible to advance wages be\ncause they cannot advance the selling price.\nThere will be no permanent solution of the\nwages difficulty in connection with coal\nmining in Canada until a sliding scale is\nadopted similar to that which was introduced in South Wales more than 25 years\nago, by \" Mabon,\" under which the men\nshare in a fixed percentage in any increased selling price which the operators\nsecure and under which their wages fall if\nneeds be to a fixed minimum on the contrary. Since this system was adopted\nSouth AVales lias had no strikes whatever,\nalthough in other parts of England where\nthere is no sliding scale there have been\nfrequent and most disastrous strikes.\nThese, however, are lessening as the principle of the sliding scale is spreading. It\nis a just principle, in fact the only just\nprinciple, in that it secures to the miner a\npro rata wage and insures him a living\nwage as a minimum. Tliere are many\nolhcr aspects of the present dispute which\nwill bear investigation and which will be\nfully ventilated during the next few weeks,\nbut the above will furnish food for reflection, and should be carefully studied by\nall who desire to arrive at a just estimate\nof a vital question. There is one significant\nfact which it would be well for the operators in particular to bear in mind, which\nis that without a solitary exception the\npress of Western Canada has during the\nlast week demanded Government operation of the mines in thc public interest if\nthere is any delay in effecting an amicable\nsettlement. It lias been wisely pointed\nout that the public interest is greater even\nthan vested interest, and that the people\nwill not brook a policy whicli deprives\nthem of one of the prime necessaries of\nlife. It will be a drastic step, one which\nall moderate men would deprecate and yet\none to whicli all will subscribe, if the operators are not wise enough to abandon their\npresent tactics and to see to it that the production of fuel is resumed instanter.\nA Business\nSession.\nParliament is prorogued,\nily for six weeks the\nand after running stead-\nLegislative Mill has ceased grinding until January, 1908. The\nSession has been in every sense a satisfactory one, both Government and Opposition\nhave devoted themselves to the discharge\nof their constitutional duties, the former\nhas submitted a mass of useful legislation,\nsome of it perhaps not very well digested,\nthc Opposition in complete oblivion of its\ntactics of last Session has abandoned a\npolicy of personal abuse and slander to\nexercise the functions of legitimate criticism. On the University Bill in particular Mr. Macdonald and his small but compact army made a strenuous and not discreditable fight. Tliere wore weaknesses\nin the measure which they were quick to\npoint out, and many amendments were\nmade to which they contributed. Rarely,\nif ever, in thc history of thc B. C. Legislative Assembly has a Session been more\nthoroughly devoted to business. It is also\nworthy of comment that the tone of the\ndebates has been uniformly upon a high\nlevel, the only notable exception to this\nis in the case of Comrade Hawthornthwaite whose recent political affiliation\nfinds him unchanged, an Ishmaelite whose\nhand is against every man, the vaporing\ndemagogue who sometimes accidentally\nsays a good thing, but who in the main\nworks off volumes of hot air to no purpose; a veritable twentieth century Gra-\ntiano with his grain of wheat to his bushel\nof chaff, \"and his infinite deal of nothing.\"\nMm who have made their mark on the\n(Continued on Pago Four) THE WEEK, SATURDAY, APRIL 27, 1907.\nAt The Street f\nCorner h\n\u00a3 By THE LOUNOER P\nBy THE LOUNOER\n\u25a0J^ln\/V'-WyM*^\/^\nI\nThere has been one serious evil\nbrought to my notice during the past\nweek, and that is in connection with\nthe schools. As to the responsible\nparties, I care not who they be; they\nmay be members of the School Board\nor they may be the principals of the\nschools; but whoever they be, they\ncertainly need a little teaching themselves. Measles is one of the most\ndangerous diseases from which children can suffer, though parents very\nseldom recognize this fact. The danger does not arise from the measles,\nbut from the complications which usually take the form of pneumonia.\nThe Lounger does not as a rule indulge in a paragraph of woful sympathy, but in this case he feels that he\nmust. There was one case of a boy,\nvery well known to The Lounger, and\nvery dear to him, whose mother deliberately had him put in the same\nbed as his next eldest brother while\nthe latter was suffering from measles.\nThc second boy took measles and contracted pneumonia, and died. That's\nall there is to it. Do you wonder\nthat I am surprised at the supineness\nof our School Board in not closing\nup the schools in the districts where\nthis disease is so prevalent?\nI can't help thinking that the attitude taken by parents in this respect\nis only characteristic of Canadian\nopinion on most subjects which affect\ntheir own personal selves. God grant\nthat I am wrong; but I doubt it. I do\nthink that the leading characteristic of this country, and with it I\nwill include the United States, is\nSelfishness (with a very big \"S\"). 1\nhave no hesitation in challenging\nmembers (native born) of cither country to dispute this fact. I do not dispute the fact that the average European has the quality of selfishness\nwell displayed, but I contend that he\ndoes not display it as much as thc\nordinary native-born Canadian or\nAmerican. I will willingly uphold this\nargument on any platform, but unfortunately I cannot offer to defend it by\nforce of arms, because being very\nshort-sighted I have to wear glasses;\nobviously I can't box with my glasses\non, and I am sorry to say that if 1\ntake them off I can't see my opponent.\nHowever, readers, this serious writing is as painful to my feelings as I\nhope it is to yours. Let us therefore\ndiscuss other matters.\nI am sorry to say that my few\nremarks last week were productive\nrather of evil than good. The poultry yard just outside my window has\nevidently engaged an orchestra to assist them in their musical efforts. The\norchestra consists of a bugle and a\nkettle drum. The result may be better imagined than described. In addition a choir has been hired, which\nchoir is composed of two or possibly\nthree Chinese children, who sing, all\nin different keys, and certainly all sing\ndifferent songs to the accompaniment\nof thc said instruments and the noise\nof the said poultry yard.\nDo you wonder, faithful readers,\nthat The Lounger is said to have\nshown more grey hairs during the\npast month than any other man in\ntown?\nBut to more cheerful things. Let us\ndiscuss bright things, such as the sun\nand mon; the stars and the earth\nitself. The sunsets during the past\nfew days have been things to make\nglad the heart of man; I have been\ntold, though I can hardly believe it,\nthat one man was so glad to se it\nthat he lent a friend a dollar. The\nsun has been bright and warm; incidentally, I might remark, that suns\nare usually warm if noly you can get\nclose enough to them. The stars\nhave also been very excellent lately,\nand have indulged in some very good\nshooting. Of comets I have had no\nnews, the Marconi system between\nmy office and Mars being slightly out\nof repair.\nBut why should I trifle like this\nwhen the world is full of turmoil on\nthc question of gloves. Why do men\nand women wear gloves? Is it to en\nhance the beauty of the hands, or is\nit to hide their ugliness? I have an\nidea that they are worn simply and\nsolely to keep the hands clean. I\nwonder if I am right. There are all\nsorts of gloves; driving gloves, which\nare invariably worn by pedestrians;\nkid gloves, worn by old men; black\ngloves worn by people who are only\ntoo glad to have the chance to wear\nthem; white gloves worn at dances by\nyoung men who have not the courage\nto refuse an invitation; long suede\ngloves worn by young ladies with\nspots on their arms. Oh, there are all\nsorts of gloves, and they are the best\ntest of character in a man or woman\nthat I have come across. Gloves may\nbe whited sepulchres or painted images. However, enough about gloves.\nHas it ever occurred to any of you\nwhat useful people Insurances Companies are? They supply the world\nwith almanacks. Who ever say an\noffice yet with an almanack for which\nit had paid money? Who ever yet entered an office and was not immediately confronted with a proposition\nby which he could die and leave his\nwife an heiress? Who, once more,\never yet entered an office and did not\nsee that by burning down his home\nhe could double his capital? And yet,\nin spite of the obvious advantages to\nbe obtained there have been all sorts\nof attacks on Insurance Offices. What\nwould the offices all over the world\ndo if there were no Insurance Offices\nto give them almanacks? Are there\nno firms in our own Province of British Columbia which use Insurance\nblotters? Why then should the world\nat large agree to hound down a system which never does any harm to an\nindividual, unles he be fool enough to\ntrust in it, and which will give him\nfree gratis and for nothing a pretty\npicture to hang on his wall, making\nhis clients believe that he has a connection with a world-wide concern.\nSALE OF LOTS\nIN THE FINEST SUBDIVISION YET\nPUT ON THE MARKET\nBounded by Cook St., Dallas Road, Moss St.\nBuy one or more lots for your home while prices are low.\nBRITISH AMERICAN TRUST CO., Limited\nCOR.

It\nis not necessarily a part of a man's\ndevotion to his wife to make of her\na sort of confidential clerk or private\nsecretary.\u2014Queen.\nDoctor's Certificate.\nUndoubtedly an important factor in\nhastening Rayner's reprieve was a\ncertificate, in the following terms, sent\nto the Home Office by the doctor attending Mrs. Rayner:\n88 King's-road, Camden-road, N.W.\nI, the medical man in charge of\nMrs. Rayner, the wife of Horace\nGeorge Rayner, certify that, in my\nopinion, unless her husband is immediately reprieved, neither she nor the\nchild will survive the coming confinement.\nWILLIAM CREMIN,\nL.R.C.S. and L.M.\nOn Monday Mrs. Rayner gave birth\nto a little girl.

It\nis not Great Britain alone that has\noccasion to feel that a latent antagonism, at times bursting out into the\nopen, is going on all the time.\u2014Justice.\nRival Heroines of Fiction.\nThe time is coming when the\ntrained nurse of the novel will take\nthe place of the governess. Governesses have been done to death by the\nmasters of fiction.\u2014Nationa, New\nYork.\nEnglish Prejudice in Humour.\nWhat a glaring gap there would be\nin the comic literature of England if\none could take away everything based\non the parsimony of the Scotch, the\nDonnybrook Fair proclivities of the\nIrish, the blustering pretense of the\nYankees, and the all-round shortcomings of the French!\u2014Outlook, New\nYork.\nReckless Sportswomen.\nWomen enter into various forms of\nsport with a recklessness that appals\nthe average man. One woman with\na gun in her hand, and pleasantly\nsmiling the while, can reduce a party\nof male friends into a group of terrified and pale-faced cowards, who look\nas if they saw ghosts before them,\nwhich they probably do\u2014their own.\u2014\nMadame.\nTennis Champion's Marriage.\nMiss D.

Special\nmissions havc come from France,\nRussia, Switzerland, Spain and the\nUnited States, and in each case the\nvisitors have admitted the superiority\nof British police methods.\nIndefinable Perfection.\nSince the beginning of time the human brain has never succeeded in defining, with the necessary exactitude,\nwhat really constitutes a perfect woman.\u2014Outlook.\nHome, Sweet Home,\nThe chief reason for leaving home\nis that one may thc better enjoy coming back to it. Home is the place we\nBlow to Teetotalism.\nMuch anxiety is being caused to\nmany temperance reformers by the\nmanifesto in favour of alcohol published by a large number of doctors.\nThey fear that it means a set-back\nto the cause of total abstinence.\nThose who signed the manifesto include Professor T. McCall Anderson,\nGlasgow University; Sir William H.\nBennett, Sir James Crichton-Browne,\nSir Dyce Duckworth, Dr. Hutchinson, Professor W. D. Halliburton,\nKing's College; Dr. E. Owen, and\nDr. Fred. T. Roberts. They state explicitly that:\n\"In disease, alcohol is a rapid and\ntrustworthy restorative;\n\"That in many cases it may be\ntruly described ;>s life-preserving owing to its power to sustain cardiac\nand nervous energy, while protecting\nthe wasting nitrogenous tissues; and\n\"That as an article of diet, they hold\nthe universal belief of mankind that\nthe moderate use of alcoholic beverages is for adults usually beneficial\nis amply justified.\"\nAs far back as last August the\nquestion was raised at Toronto by Sir\nVictor Horslcy, who, in a speech to\nthe Dominion Temperance Alliance,\ndeclared that the medical profession\nin Britain had the same hostility to\nalcohol as they had in Canada. He\nadded that be \"meant alcohol not\nonly as a beverage, which is indulged\nin to too great au extent, but as a\ndrug.\"\nIf a man bc ignorant hc may learn,\nbut if he knows too much there is\nno hope for him.\nBkl'-*.-W*--*'t!*-^.-*'W\u00bbV1^^ ?'.:\u00a3*'!*??3*3BM\nSODA MENU\n5-Cent Drinks\u2014Strawberry, Chocolate, Peach, Nectar, Plain Soda,\nLemon, Coffee, Ginger, Pineapple, Orange, Vanilla, Sarasparilla,\nRaspberry, Cherry, Red Banana, Lime Juice, Root Beer, Coca Cola,\nGrape, Celery, Phosphates, Claret, Pistachio.\n10-Cent Drinks\u2014Ice Cream Soda, Sundaes or College Ices, Egg\nPhosphates, Bromo Seltzer, Hunyadi Nugatine Ice Cream Soda, Crushed\nFruit Ice Cream Soda.\nSpecial Drinks\u2014Walnut Bisque Ice Cream Soda, 10c; Walnut\nBisque Sundaes, 15c; Egg Chocolate, 10c; David Harums, 15c; Chop\nSuey, 10c; Victoria Bouquet, 10c; Buster Brown, 10c; Maple Sundae,\n10c; Pure Lemonade, 10c.\nTERRY & MARETT, Chemists\nVANCOUVER\nArcade, Hastings street.\nVICTORIA\nCorner Fort and Douglas.\niBSXBSSSSSM: 3 -*\nNOTICE is hereby given that, 30 days\nafter date, we intend to make application to the Chief Commissioner of Lands\nand Works for a special license to cut\nand carry away timber from the following described land, viz.:\nCommencing at a post marked B.

RIDGWAY-WILSON, Capt.,\nAdjutant Sth Regt, C.A.\nAn Appreciation.\nBy the untimely death of J. C.\nJBhaw, not only Vancouver, but the\nProvince of British Columbia has sustained a great loss. He was a man\n])f the strictest integrity and of good\nludgment. Though in manners modest and unassuming, those associated\n\u25a0\/ith him in educational work knew\njnd appreciated his sound scholarship,\nfo the young people who came under\nlis influence at the time when their\nlinds were most active and most re-\nleptive Mr. Shaw stood for honest\nJ\/ork, for real culture and for that\nIttitudc of mind which is expressed\nli the saying that \"a man's life con-\nlisteth not in the abundance of things\nJrhich he possesseth.\" By a small\nlut close circle of intimate friends\nllr. Shaw was highly esteemed and\n\u25a0rill be long missed.\nIf Mark Tapley of blessed memory\nas gone to his rest he evidently has\n\\it a worthy successor in the editor\nthe Slocan Mining Review. Any\nIan who can herald the arrival of his\n|xth in such optimistic vein as domi-\nites the following paragraph from\nle Review issue of April 18, would\nf. a perennial success on the staff of\nunch:\n\"A strange young fellow with lungs\nte a bell of brass visited town for the\n1st time on Sunday morning. Not-\nIthstanding it being the Sabbath and\nle New Act being in force, he\nIreamed like a mad thing, prestim-\n}ly for drink. By his indecent lack\nclothing hc might have been a\nloukhabour, but he isn't; he's our\nJw fighting editor, and his weight is\nIn pounds. Fellow pilgrims! that\nlakes six. Bring in your ads.\"\nThe editor of The Week had no\nidea that his contribution in last issue\nheaded \"The Appeal to Caesar\" was\nhalf as good as it seems to be since\nso excellent a judge as the veteran\njournalist who owns and edits the\nCranbrook Prospector has seen fit to\nlift it wholesale and run it on his\nfront page even without the usual addition of the magic words \"The\nWeek.\" Of course this was an oversight, but also a very great compliment, which is hereby gratefully acknowledged.\nAt the moment of going to press\nThe Week is in receipt of a dispatch\nstating that the Cumberland News\nbeen sold to Mr. Wm. Sloan, M. P.,\nwho already owns the Cumberland\nEnterprise, and will henceforth be\nmerged with the latter and conducted\nas a Liberal organ.
