The republican convention at
Charlotte, North Carolina, last week,
was remarkable in one particular at
least. None but white delegates oc
cupied seats in the convention. Sev
eral negro delegations contested,
but all were defeated.
President Roosevelt is said to be
disgusted with the republican situa
tion in Southern states—organiza
tions that seem to exist only for the
purpose of securing federal patron
age. His deBire is for efforts to elect
congressmen, and says that fight
and failure is better than no fight at
all.
ThereJShould he a Preventive.
That there should be a remedy for
the Btrike evil no one will deny, but
what it shall be very few will un
dertake to declare with any degree
of confidence.
About seventeen weeks ago the
miners of anthracite coal at the
mines in Pennsylvania and West
Virginia, and perhaps others, made
demands upon the managers of the
mines. These demands were refus
ed, the miners, many thousands in
number, quit work under strike or
ders issued by the United Mine
Workers’ Association.
The strikers have lost in the ag
gregate millions of dollars in wages;
the mine owners as much or more in
the loss of profits on the coal that
would have been mined and Bold,
and the merchants and railroads
hundreds of thousands in the dem
oralization of trade and the decreas
ed freight transportation.
Then there hap beta personal dis
order, destruction of property and
injury of persons by miners. Fol
lowing, the police and military dealt
wounds and death in attempting to
enforce order.
So far as the public interests are
concerned, it matters not whether
the miners or their employers are
moBt to blame. There should be a
means of preventing a condition
that forces upon thousands of inno
cent people pecuniary loss and per
sonal discomfort because laborers
and capitalists will not agree. ,
We are inclined to the belief that
labor is oftenest right in such con
tests, but all are men, and miners
may be arbitrary and unjust in their
demands, as well as the mine oper
ators may be in the enforcement
of their rules.
It is not enough that the govern
ment comes in to enforce order and
protect property after a strike reach
es the dauger period; the protection
should be given before the damage
has been done. The government
can and should provide a preventive.
It is true that complete submis
sion to the will of the mine ojw
ators, and others who control in«l i-
tries, would obviate all the trou ■
that strikes cause* the general ]
lio, but there should be no such ....
render of manhood.
All corporations ha\e franchises
and privileges accorded only to
those who control much money, and
for that reason the government
should exercise a measure of control
that is not placed upon others.
We believe compulsory arbitra
tion would aot as a competent pre
ventive, and the government should
enforce some such measure, unless
something better can be used to
protect the innocent public.
Among the many interesting
achievements of human inventive
.genius accomplished during the de
cade which hits elapsed since the
World’s Fair at Chicago, and whioh
svfil be seen at the World’s Fair in
St. Louis in 1904, there will be the
wireless telegraph, the automobile,
the dirigible balloon, the transmis
sion, of sight by wire, the wireless
telephone, and the telephoning from
railway trains and trolley ears in
motion.
Ir for no other reason, the Sep
tember Woman’s Home Companion
would be notable for two features.
In “The Real Stringtown on the
Pike” the scene and the people of
Mr. Loyd’s notable novel are de
scribed and illustrated. The other
great feature tells of recent excava
tions in Bible lands. It throws some
new and startling light on Biblical
history. Besides these there is a
timely article by Mrs. Walter Camp
on “Outdoor Sport in Gills’ Ool-
job” and a symposium by well-
known educators on “Should the
Girl Go to College?” The fiction
for the month includes stories by
Cyrus Townsend Brady, Stanley
Waterloo, Zoe Anderson Norris and
Hermon Lee Ensign, whose animal
stories have attained a wide popu
larity. Miss Gould ? s fashion articles
and the departments devoted to
cooking and hosehold matters make
up a number of unusual interest.
