status, for he had made a senator that
was anything but good to a lot of his
friends as governor. Hu also made
some enemies since becoming govern
or and that added to the hue and Try
against him. He was defeated.
The only undesirable thing ubout
the defeat is the fact that the man
who was elected did not suit under the
colors of national democracy. He was
more of a politician than a statesman
In his declarations. We believe that
his ideas were sound and worthy, but
he was the victim of an appeal that
could not be turned down and that
meant a wishy. washy, unstable decla*
ration against “entangling alliances’’
and therefore, by inference, if nothing
else, against the platform of the na
tional Democratic party.
He is entitled to his views anj we
hope they may be modified to the ex
tent that he can conscientiously sup
port the Democratic platform. In any
event he would have come nearer to
it than Governor Hardwick. Judge
George has many qaulities that make
him un admired and respected jurist
as well as a worthy and able citizen,
and his career will beWratched with
great interest. He won a signal vie
lory on his first entry into politics
and he has qualities that may develop
him into a great leader of the people.

A SIGNIFICANT STATMENT
One of tbe most significant state
ments made regarding the labor situa
tion came from Elisha J. Lee. vice-
president ot tbe Pennsylvania Rail
road, recently, when be stated that
the labor unions must surrender the
right to strike. He qualified this
statement with the assertion that their
rights must be protected and their pay
be liberal. In a broad use ot that term.
Ho did not favor the exploitation of
labor any more than he favored the
bulldozing ot capital.
To what extent this should be car
ried out Is still a matter of opinion
and conjecture. It Is not necessary to
recognlzo the principle In law, said
Mr. Lee. but it must be generally ac
cepted because of the fact that the
rights of the people demand uninter
rupted transportation service. The
basic principle ot no strike can bo ac-
compllsned without any seriously
detrimental condition, he states, and
It will mean a more liberal policy than
was ever before possible.
Mr. Lee referred also to a statement
of W. G. Lee, ot the Brotherhood ot
Railway Trainmen, that "the whole
bulaness of railway labor baa got too
big for one man or fasr men to handle.
It Is loaded with dynamite for the
country as well at for ourselves and
the executives." This statement was
the opening wedge by which contro
versies will be settled ln the future.
The proposition Is too big, as Mr. Lee
suys, for all parties concerned, and
he justly quoted three of those, the
public flret and the railroad workers
and tbe railroade themselvea.
Tba railroad world Is very anxious

Tble cannot be dona untesi there Is
some definite understanding through

that enters tbe service has a chance
to make.ot himself something more
than a wage earner. Stifling ambition
and Initiative haa been attributed to
the unloni for some time apd statis
tics bear ont that contention in some
respects.
Many a man far up ln tha railroad
world bas started ter Mown the line
