WILL NOT AFFECT HIM.

Some of our exchanges. speaking Of
to the presidency of Tulane University
seem to think the fact that the sala-
~ there, Sc, 900. being more than twice
as large as at the University of North
Carolina. viii in itself induce Mr.. Al
derman to accept the Tulane presi-
dency. We think this idea does Dr..
Alderman an Injustice. and we do not
believe that the larger salary in itself
Will determine his acceptance OF de-
clinatiOn OF h position. 1t would
not be to his discredit, if he did let
the question of salary influence his
action, but it would not be what those
who know him best expect of HIM. If
he were a man of large family. the
matter of salary would be one OF great
importance which ought largely to
govern him. Situated as he is. he can
determine his duty with little refer
ence to compensation received here
and offered there.
If DR.. Alderman goes to New o.
lcans-and he will not decide until lie
has given the matter full considera-
tlon-he viii not go to get more mon
CIV for himself.
He will not even consider going un-
less he sees there is an opportunity to
make III the far South d great insti-
tuition that would be to that countrV
what Johns Hopkins is to the Middle
States. If he tinds the open door to
Inya1on rT1,lona info Soy,atbi,cr or,.t
er II higher than already exists in
the South, we believe he would feel il
to be his duty, much as he would
hate to leave North Carolina. to enter
that open door Of greater usefulness.
If conditions do not warrant such
expansion and growth at Tulane, it is
our opinion that DR.. Alderman will
not for one minute consider resigning
the presidency Of the University of
North Carolina. We think the high
ideals that have made his career so
inspiring and successful would pre-
vent his coming to a decision on the
lower level of personal compensation.

THE STRIKE OF THE TELEGRAPH
ERS,

1t seems that the strike Of'the Or
Southern Railway could have been
averted if the officials of that road
had been willing to treat with the Of
ficers Of that order. with a view TO adj
receiving them as officers. it seems
that the railroad officials were willing
to deal with Mr. Powell and others,
only as individuals. BY assuming
that position, the Southern Railway
declared war on the union. and the
telegraphic operators felt that the
road wished to crush their o~rganiza-
ton.
While labor unions have made mis-
takes and sometimes have committed
wrongs. the fact remains that as long
as the railroad corporations are or
gained into u pool or union. the en-
ploves must have their unions where
by united action. they can compel the
officers and owners to deal justly by
them. Take aWaN the unions and the
organizations Of laborers and me-
chanics. and the individuals would be
impCtent to secure fair wages for
their work. THE injury of one is the
concern Of all" They must make a
compact organization and stand to-
"ether for reasonable wages and rea-
SnabIe hours. When their demands
are just and ,ney resort 10 no vio-
lence, public opinion is behind them
and they are sure ultimately to re-
ceivc their just demands. When they
make unreasonable demands and re
sort to force. they Will not be sus-
tanned by public sentiment and must
fail. Public opinion is the most, pow
crful factor in America in the adjust
ment of all questions. 1t always
stands ON the side of law and order.
but it is powerful enough TO change
unlust and unfair laws. No corpora
ton is strong enough to stand against
it. no union Of employees powerful
enough to resist it.
The sympathy felt ~ the engineers
II tiremen for the telegraphic Strik-
erS is due TO the fact that they fear
the refusal to treat with that uniOn
may be. g beginning of Il plan to crush
