i President Roosevelt has modi
fied his views concerning the federal
legislation necessary to keep the
trusts within reasonable bounds. If
he continues on that line, very soon
he will be entirely satisfied that
trusts are not in any degree hurtful
to the general interests of the peo
ple. Surely, our strenuous president
is developing the. , fact that
he is a
man of fickle mind.
Arbitration a Peace-Maker.
mm
msm
People who love peace rather than
war. whether it be commercial dr
political, are pleased that the claims
" G - ‘
of England, Germany and other na
tiouB against Venezuela have been
referred to The Hague tribunal for
arbitration. If this incident be ac
cepted as a precedent, a very strong
war preventive will have been estab
lished.
Between nations, as between indi
viduals, the right is rarely, if ever,
entirely on one side of a controver
sy. Certainly a claim of one country
against another cannot be equitably
settled by war. No matter where
the preponderance of right may be,
the result of war would be to the
advantage of the most powerfur par
ty, and might would make right in
the conclusion reached by the con
queror.
In the case at issue war would
not secure the payment of the debts
claimed, unless by the conquerors
acquiring Venezuelan territory. At
any rate, there could be no equity,
very little profit to the conquerors,
but tremendous injustice and loss to
the oonquered.
How much better it would have
been had the South African trouble
been referred to arbitration.
The same theory and practice is
equally applicable to the settlement
of business differences'between or
ganizations or individuals. On this
line there have been many instances
illustrative of the value of arbitra
tion. Nearly every year within the
last quarter of a century differences
between organized labor and organ
ized capital have been followed by
strikes that caused great loss of
money to both sides at issue. No
strike haB ever been settled without
concessions from one side or the
other, and the rnoBt satisfactory set
tlements hit/ve been reached through
Home method of arbitration.
Just now the differences between
operators of anthracite coal mines
and the miners is in process of set
tlement by a board of arbitrators
named by President Roosevelt. It
has already been demonstrated by
testimony on both sides, that each
side cf the controversy had just
cause of grievance against the oth
er, and that the demands of neither
against the other would have given
exact justice if secured entirely.
As a forceful argument in favor of
arbitration in this instance is found
in the faot that the scarcity of coal
caused by the continued strike last
Bummer haB been the direct cause of
muoh suffering throughout the re
gion where anthracite ooal is the
chief artible of fuel. Not only h<is
the price increased beyond the abili
ty of the poorer people to buy, but
the quantity available at exorbitant
prioes is inadequate to the absolute
needs of the people in the larger
oities.
An equitable settlement of the
coal strike difficulties will establish
a precedent that will in large meas
ure prevent such calamitous con
flicts between capital and labor
hereafter. >
Certain it is whenever a difference
between capital and labor, or of a
business character between nations,
affeots the general or special inter
ests of any considerable number of
other people, then there should be
compulsory arbitration, if it be
shown that an equitable settlement
is not likely to be otherwise reached.
Freely used, arbitration will prove
a peace preserver and a money saver.
Our strenuous president seems
likely to forfeit the good opinion of
just people throughout the country.
He has talked nicely about being
president of all tho people, without
sectional bias, and some of his offi
cial acts have been altogether com
mendable, but recentaly it has be
come apparent that he thinks over
much of Mr. Roosevelt and the ex
alted position he occupies by acci
dent.
Of recent incidents in this connec
tion, our Washington Correspond
ent says:
“The President was subjected to
what the French term ‘a bad quarter
of an hour' at the Cabinet meeting
on Friday, and a very bad quarter
of an hour it was. Individually and
collectively the members of the Cab
inet reproaohed him for the blunders
he has committed in attempting to
carry into effect a wholly quixotic
and speotacular Southern policy.
The appointment of Dr. Crum, (a
negro politician), to be Collector of
of the Port at Charleston, S. 0., and
the suspension of the postoffice at
Indianola, Miss., were made the
texts for the curtain lecture deliver
ed hehind the closed doors of the
Cabinet room. Reprasentative
Bartlett of Georgia said to your
correspondent, apropos of this sub
ject:
“•President Roosevelt is what you
might call a spectacular statesman,
fond of playing to the galleries.
Like all other professional reformers,
he has but one objeot in view and
that is to better his own personal
chances at the expense and discom
fiture of others. He is after a ma
jority of the delegates to the next
Republican national convention and
be has been making a grand stand
play for the negro voles of the
South because he knows that they
control the conventions that create
the delegates.’ ”
“Representatives Johnson, How
ard, Brantley, Cochran, Patterson,
Lever, Senator-elect Lattimer and
others expressed similar views.”

Under threat o;f an extra session,
the Republican members of the Sen
ate have consented to the passage
of some “simple” and innoxuous
anti-trust measures. These bills,
they say, must be so simple as to
provoke no lenghthy debate, and
must veoeive the unanimous support
of the republicans, which is tanta
mount lo saying that they must be
so drawn as to be incapable of
thwarting the intentions or desires
of the trusts. The lengthy and
sweeping bill brought in with such
spectacular advertising by Senator
Hoar has subjected that venerable
statesman to nothing but ridicule,
and so upset has the old gentleman
beoome that on Thursday he moved
the passage of a bill which was en
acted nearly a year ago and the Sen
ate, following his lead, passed it.—
