An Unchanged Belief.

The Chicago Times Herald remarks that
many of Its Democratic and independent
contemporaries. notably the Washington
Post. affect TO be deeply concerned over
the silence OF the Times Herald in regard
TO our plain duty in Porto Rico" So far
as relates 10 the deep concern Of The
Post. our contemporary is unjust IN trea.-
ing II as affectation. We can assure our
contemporary that II is the genuine ar
ticle. Having admired and applauded the
attitude of the Times Herald when IL
stood up bravely and stood out
valiantly for 'our plain duty" when
when 1t refused TO follow the lead of
many influential Republican papers, which,
''yowing they would ne'er consent, at last
consented' 10 nop from right to wrong
on that great issue, The Post could but
feel the psngs OF bitter disappointment
when. after lighting the good fight and
keeping the faith for time, the Times-
Herald suddenly slumped into silence on
"our plain duty"
But The Posts distress Is somewhat
mitigated by its Chicago contemporary :
declaration that as to Porto Rico. the
Times-Herald stands precisely where il
did last March, and where President Nc
Kinley stood last December. when he
wrote The markets Of the United States
should be opened up to her products Our
plain duty is to abolish all customs tariffs
between the United States and Porto Rico
and give her products free access to our
markets" The Times Herald goes on to
declare boldly that It has not varied one
halr's-breadth from it's contention that
Porto Rico is territory belonging to the
United States. over which Congress is
supreme under the Constitution. which
provides that AL duties, impos,s, and ex-
United States" We are further assured
that our Chicago contemporary is still
firm In us original belief thas Porto Rico
should be governed as a Territory OF the
United States just as any other territory
acquired By the United States has been.
beginning with the Louisiana purchase
That IL a frank statement. IL l. the
same view OF the constitutional status OF
Porto Rico that The Post held when the
question nrst arose. and from which IL
has not departed. II is the view enter

JONES CoNTRADICTs ROOSEVELT.
Democratic Chairman Denies that Cotton

Chicago. Oct. 13.-Chairman Jones, of
the Democratic National Committee. re-
ferring TO Gov. Roosevelts association of
his name with private ownership in
trusts" said to-day:
ANY statement made by anybody that

charge made that the American Cotton
Bale Company Is trust was the occasion
of a letter written by me, and published
at the time, in which l stated the facts
Of my connection with that company.
That letter explains everything. and was
published and extensively circulated. If
Mr.. Roosevelt had wanted TO inform him
self. he had the opportunity Of doing 90.
IL he is a sincere man, he will not. after
reading that letter. make the statement
that the American Cotton Bale Comp4ny
is trust. However. there is an old adags
that lie well stuck 10 Is good as the
truth"

BOARDS OF ARBITRATION.
Few sfstss Have Made any Prssress TIE.
ward set,iise I.ahsr Dispute.

Frsr1 the See york Evening Fcst-
The creation Of State boards OF arestTe-
ton has been pretty generally a case OF
fetching water to the horse which obSti-
nafeiy refuses TO drink as Is shown BY
the account % such boards given In the
Nth annual report OF the Illinois state
board Of arbitration. II appears that
tweuty-three States have laws providing
for arbitration, and that these laws are
practically dead letters in all but I'VE or
six States. never having been enforced 10
any extent whatever An inquiry sent out
by the Illinois board ELECTED the curious
fact that even the existence OF the laws
was unknown in some States TO the COM
missioners Of labor in those States. In
two instances the labor commissioners
were unaware OF the fact that a state
board Of arbitration had been actually APP
pointed under the law In their own STATE.
The Connecticut board declared that !ts
Law had been made useless BY q judicial
decision, and that now II stood back and
watched them fight II out in the good old
fashioned way" In Minnesota the offices
of the three public arbitrators have re-
manned vacant and unsolicited for three
years. When the terms of those first ap-
pointed under the law expired. no success
sors were chosen. The one decision rem
dered was unsatisfactory to both parties.
In Iowa there has never been a case
under the law. In Kansas the law Is so
Complicated and clumsy that 1t has never
been used
The public boards Of arbitration. where
they have retained some semblance or an
imation. as in Illinois. New York. Massa-
ehusetts, Ohio, Indiana, and Wisconsin,
cannot be said exactly 20 have won the
fight for Industrial peace. Their chief
glory TO date is that they exist in semi
comatose state. ready TO be galvanized
into mechanical action upon proper appeal
from both parties to a dispute-whieh. II
need not be added. is seldom forthcoming.
AS boards OF arbitration, they must also
be reekoned failures. The plain facts are
that parties having vital interests ~
stake prefer naturally TO make their own
selection OF arbitrator. and 20 select men
well informed in the specific matters in
volved in controversy. The Illinois state
board Is quite correct In maintaining that
the success OF arbitration necessarily de-
ponds on the peculiar fitness of the aroi-
traitors, and that experience constitutes
an important qualification. But II is alto
gether wrong in thinking that the expert
ence calculated 10 make fit arbitrator Is
experience in arbitrating. The experience
required is experience of affairs. and such
a practical knowledge of specific condi-
tons as cannot be obtained by exercise OF
judicial functions.
