ONLY SAFETY LIES IN RETREAT.

Washington dispatches represent the
republican leaders as utterly perplexed
in the presence of the popular demand
for the fu!fillment of national pledges to
Porto Rico. Instead OF showing any
abatement because Of the p assage of the
relief bill, the storm of republican pro-
tests against the tariff bill becomes tierc-
er and more insistent. The popular view
is that the relief bill merely proves the
generous disposition of the American
people toward suffering humanity with
out relieving the American nation from
the odiqm of injustice and bad faith to
Porto Rico.
1t is gradually dawning on the repub-
lcan leaders in Washington that the
Porto Rican question cannot be evaded
by congressional generosity, but must be
settled-can only he settled-by the full.
fillment of national pledges and duty.
The moral sense of the American ma
ton has been aroused on this question
as it has not been moved since the civil
war. The people resent what appears
to be the juggling with justice, duty and
honor at what they regard as the behest
of special and selfish and private inter-
ests.
Twist and turn as the advocates of a
Porto Rican tariff may-appeal to party
complications-they cannot divert the
popular mind from the absolute and un-
pardonable immortality of broken faith
and unfulflled duty.
The president and the republican lead
ers in congress are simply butting their
heads against the solid wall Of republl-
can morality-which in this case is sy-
nonymus with the moral sense sof the
whole American people. Princes and
potentates by divine right may break
faith at will, as their strength and inter
ests dictate, but the plighted word of a
government by the people cannot be
violated with impunity 1t brings swift
judgment from the people,.

Several Thousand Carpenters In Chicago
QUIT Work on Buildings.
Chicago, Feb. l0.-Seyen thousand
working men on buildings, in course Of
construction here, quit work to-day. This
marks the beginning OF war between
labor and contractors which will suspend
building operations In Chicago. The
men are members Of the unions atii-
liated with the building trades council
Their rules, with the exception Of the
bricklsyers union, provide a holiday
every Saturday afternoon. The contrac.
tors refuse to longer allow this. When
the men quit work at noon to-day the
contractors declared that the act consti
tuted strike and announced as fast az
possible that non-union men would be
secured. Union leaders claim they have
been locked out. Trouble is feared by
authorities. Policemen from outlying
stations have been called to stations
nearer headquarters ready for instant ac-
ton.
