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.
