Scranton has vital need of Just such
enterprises. But the way to facilitate
their erection in our community is not
by giving encouragement to,the social
istic programme of Bryanism. which
threatens every business investment in
the land. but by ballot next month to
put on record a vote Of confidence in
the administration whose well-con-
ceived policies offer encouragement to
both industry at home and commerce
abroad.

San Francisco, with a climate which makes
possible to encourage outdoor life during the
greater portion of the year, has both a greater
responsibility to supply adequate outdoor spaces
which are the property Of its citizens and
great privilege in that its investment must be
OF greater value since It can be used almost
twice as long as that in the lcss.favored eastern
cities.
Too little provision is made for the so.called
bad boy who may be of much finer clay than his

most necessary steps to be taken is to establish
such Fairgrounds and outdoor gymnasiums as

rest nor refuge for one, or has both greater
responsibility to suppress the other in his leisure

Tribune of yesterday and today. 1t

opportunity upon young men. Sena-

just such instances. Mr.. Bryan's
own career disproves his pessimistic
assertions, and as for Richard Croker
we defy him to name another coun-
try under heavens canopy where he
could have gone as he came from Ire
land to America and where, beginning
without penny or a friend. he could
have risen step by step to the virtual
dictatorship of it's most powerful city.
The solicitude of the Democratic
party around election time for the
welfare of young men is beautiful and
touching, bpt it is another case of all
talk and no performance. The last
time we had a Democratic administra-
tion the young men suffered quite as
much as the old. Those who We're
clerks saw their wages cut or got
notice to quit: those who We're man
ayers or proprietors saw their VOL
ume of business shrink while the fixed
charges stood as immovable as the
rock of Gibraltar; and those who We're
merely day laborers hoping to save
enough from current wages to capital
izc schooling or embark modestly
in personal enterprise We're among the
first to have to walk the plank and
journey about hopelessly in quest of
new employment 1t was upon the
man of age and family that the em-
ployer's hand of regretful dismissal
was the last to fall; the axe of res
trenchment fe1led the young man
soonest of all.
No opportunities tor young men?
Go into our shops, our factories, our

calls for mental keenness reinforced
by easily renewable physical vigor,
and who are doing 1t and who are In
a demand that Is at It's greatest un-
der Republican prosperity? Never in
all the ages before WAS there so con-
spicuously young mems era. Money
you can command with ease when you
have a promising investment; money
was never SO plentiful nor interest
upon good security SO favorable as
now. Materials are equally abundant
and available. thanks to the wonder

modern systems of transportation
Nor is 1t difficult to secure the rough
labor which Is of the hand rather
than of the brain. But look for the
right man to manage your enterprise;
for the man of quick, sure, collected
thought; Of nimble wit and steady
nerve. of executive skill and CONNER
cial experience, who is able to WELD
successfully the reins of authority
toward specific and profitable 'ends.

ter difticulties. The man YOU want Is

mand. 1t doesn't make a particle Of
difference what his pbdfgree Is Tor
what his politics is or where he was
born or where he attended school, the
man who can do things is wanted and
1t is Republican prosperity which cre-
ates this want and 1t is Democratic
folly which menaces 1t.
The Republican party as the party
which does things naturally appeals
to young men and they are too in
telligent to be deceived into an in
congruous alliance with the party
which only croaks about the things
which the Republican party does.
The American young man doesn't
need any of William j. Bryan's crock
odile solicitude. He doesn't stand in
want Of grotesque sympathy from
burly despots like Richard Croker.
He has thoroughly demonstrated his
ability to successfully paddle his own
canoe and all he needs to make the
port Of success, in addition to per-
sonal industry and pluck, is the rea-
sonable assurance of fair weather
His chief peril lies in Democratic
squalls.

A SOLDIERS TREASURE.

With rose in the rim Of his fawn-coored hat,
And jingle of sabre and spur,
A soldier rode by in the dawn and dew
Ere the village was scarcely astr.
The patter and catter of sharp little hoofs
Brought her into the window above;
Her eyes were as blue the sky overhead,
Unclouded by sorrow or love-
In the gold OF the sunrise they halted below,
Bay mare and brave rider, space,
And her 'kerchief dropped out as she leaned
from the sill,
A fragment OF linen and lace.
He caught it in air on the point of his sword
And buttoned it under his blouse,
And cantered away, but drew rein on the hill
And turned to look back at the house.
While she dreamed Of soldier returning from
To halt at her window again.
The mare and her rider lay dead in the dust
Where bullets were falling like rain;
And a comrade who passed in moment Of
truce
STOPPED over and covered his face
With 'kerchief he found in the breast OF his
blouse.
A fragment OF linen and lace.

II has been heard on account
Il of the existing charge fol
powder. One of the most
potent irritants entering into the re-
cent strike was the belief among the
men that this charge was unjust.
Now, when the offer is made to modi-
fy the price from $2.75 to $15O per
keg. something which the men have
long asked for, and equivalent in
practical effect to an advance in
wages. we are told that the PROPOSE
tion is unacceptable; that the men
who represent the interests of the
miners in the present controversy will
not accept any other basis of settle
ment than a flat increase of ten per
cent. regardless of the powder ques-
tion. although this was not so stated
in the resolutions of the miners con-
vention.
From the standpoint OF the commu-
nity's best interests. as well as from
the standpoint of the individual
miner, this attitude is difficult to un-
derstand. If a man now earning 50 90
day wants $500, and can get 1t by
accepting proposition which ac-
complishcs a part of the advance by
virtue of reduction of his fixed
charges on an article essential in his
labors, thereby not only putting more
wages into his pocket, but also re-
moving one of the long-standing
causes of complaint. it would appear
to the average mind that this method
OF settlement would be preferable to
a method which gives him the extra
ten per cent. and yet retains the OBJ
noXious Overcharge. What possible
objection from the Individual miners
standpoint can there be? The only
one evident to the ordinary observer
Is desire to retain the powder ques-
tion as a possible source of contro-
versy at a future time. This, how
ever, would not he in line with the
best interests, either of the individual
miner or of the general community.
The interests of both require a speedy
settlement that will lead, not to q con-
tinuation of unrest, but to harmony,
industry and good times all around.
In this light, therefore, it seems to
us unreasonable to suppose that tho
offer of the operators in this district,
which fulfils the substance and spirit
and does not violate the letter of the
resolutions adopted at the recent con-
vention of miners in this city, will be
considered as in any sense a barrier
to a prompt resumption of work in
our mines. On the other hand, it i'm
presses us as being an offer well cal
culated, not only to expedite the
much desired settlement of this costly
strike. a result prayed for by every
citizen OF the anthracite region, but
also to Insure, after resumption,
period of profitable activity for all
concerned. without Interruption and
without ill-feeing

Concerning Tin Plate.

TILL HARPlNG on tin plate,

ruption of the projected local
tin plate enterprise was due to the
manipulations of the tin plate "trust."
This is an assertion for which 1t neither
deos nor can offer any proof whatso-
eyer. The project has by no means
been abandoned. We are in possession
of a letter from the prime mover In
the enterprise, Mr.. Torbet. explaining
the reasons which have induced him to
let the matter rest for time; and also
promising to take 1t up again after an
interval. Nothing is said in the letter
about interference from the tin plate
trust. nor has such interference en-
tered into the matter at any time. The
simple fact, put into plain English. is
that some of the men at first inclined
to invest largely in this enterprise.

Test Vote on Trusts

HE RULINGS Of The su-
preme court having shown
II that, as the constitution
now stands, congress only
can regulate trusts engaged in inter-
state commerce, the following amend
ment was introduced in the house of
representatives and pressed to q vote
on June 1 last:
Section 1. All powers conferred
by this article shall extend to the
several states, the territories, the
District of Columbia, and all terri
tory under the sovereignty and SUBJ
ject to the jurisdiction Of the United
States.
Section 2. Congress shall have
power to define, regulate, control,
prohibit, or dissolve trusts, monop-
olies or combinations, whether exist
ing in the form Of combination or
otherwise. The several states may
continue to exercise such power in
any manner not in conflict with the
laws of the United States.
Section 8. Congress shall have
power to enforce the provisions of this
article by appropriate legislation.
The clause saving all rights of states
was inserted in the hope of getting
States Rights Democrats to support
the amendment. Nevertheless the
vote stood 14S Republicans for and 12C
Democrats against, and the measure
failed Of the necessary two-thirds ma
jority.
Among the Republicans who voted
for this amendment was William Con-
nell. Among the Democrats who voted
against it was Stanley w. Davenport
of Luzerne county.
