Before Rev. n. d. Hills left Chicago
he delivered a sermon deploring the i'll
lection of national politics into mu-
nicipal government affairs. AL
though said he, "ChicaSo is on the
wn-gradc, morally and materially, tie
good citizens Of N" city are in the mnjori-
IT,"
Ism t that true of all towns and cities :?
Yet all-certainly nearly all, commit
the colossal folly of dividing on lines of
political partisanship i'll electing and adj
ministering their own local business.
Said the doctor:
Stupidity of this sort IS Il crime against
the community. The city can be saved from
its sickness only by the reformation of its
politics, its rulers, its greedy rich men, its
unwiSe labor leaders and any so-called re-
formers who act from motives less unselfish
than the good of the entire community.

pie conduct their private business

nations. This not only to recognize all
classes and thus gain trade reciprocally,
but said an old merchant to the JOUR-
NAL several years ago
more than any other association ofdiverse
interests it stimulates among them competi-
ton and excellence.
In the public administration of mu-
nicipal affairs, however, all must be of
the same party hue, those having the
most pull enjoying precedence, prefer

nationality gets into considerations it

Not One-Sided.

Money unspent is not lost.-Midland
Press.
And coal undug, like goods unsold, is
still ''on the shelf
The JOURNAL takes but little stock in
the loss argument as commanding
reason why the miners should 90 to
work, for it applies with equal force to
the other side.
If it is not right for the men to lose
work at - cents ton, it is equally
wrong for the companies to lose their
profit per ton on account of the other >
cents ton asked by the miners.
There is another contention, too, in
which the JOURNAL invests but little
that the stoppagc of work to railroad,
canal and mill men and the loss of bust
ness to merchants and tradeSmen are
reasons why the miners should work. at
whatever rate is fixed for them.
This is not sound.
The miners owe no more to the i'll
dustrial and business community than
other workers. No more than other
workers are they their "brothers' keep
crS."
But, working on the foundation of the
the industrial and business edifice, their
complaints are especially entitled to
audience if it be confessed that other
peoples work and welfare are dependent
upon them.
Miners are probably often too pliablc to
the touch of "agitation,' too credulOus
under the spcllbinding of utter strangers,
and too skeptical of the friendship and
sympathy of people they have known
all their lives, but their position and con-
geStiOn Of numbers at the bases Of both
the industrial and business superstruc-
lures of society have made them peculiar

dulge rather than deny the attention due
to their stories of toll and hardship.

A Vain Succession.

Writing ''of remedies for lynchiny"
the Cumberland .Nr~S speculates us fol-
lows:
Perhaps if some reward were devised for an
officer who proves himself resOlute and alert
i'll the time when the mob spirit RACES good
would be accomplished. Too frequently such
officers who are faithful to their trust are
made subject to more criticism than praise
from their fellow citizens. IfInstead of mere.
ly saving deteSted criminals life they save
the county round sum of money, this con-
dition might be changed Getting voters
a-thinking is, however, too big Il problem to
be solved by any piece of statute legislation.
Quite true.
But what is the use of offering re
ward for official courage and promptness
when, under the anti-civil service reform
idea, the office itself is reward" for
getting voters not to think any farther
about the office than filling it?
Take Allegany county-when was
there sheriff elected herein who was
chosen for his courage, tact and alert
ness as an executive officer? When was
there one chosen whose experience OF
achievements warranted claims for him
of that character!
1t has been many years since if ever.
The men who fill that office are select
ed because of some sort of availability
from party standpoint, and to make it
sure that one Of experience, or of tested
qualifications shall not fill it, none can
By lar succeed himself
Why?
Because it is held that one term is
reward" enough for one man.

l'retenSe.

The For"m store up Cumberland last
week, charging that town with ''shed-
ding crocodile tears copiously" over the
situation on Georges Creek, meanwhile
sympathizing with the operators A
good deal of this sort of thing is in
dulged, but the most astonishing obser-
walton is this:
We all know that the Cumberland press
and people never have the interests of Georges
Creek people at heart, except when they
want to sell goods to the latter, or Else rhe,,
they rant them to "ote at cOunty conventions to
support tickets that hare been Sldted in Gun,
bertrand.
How far this indictment applies to
Col. George \. Pearre at this very
moment is a proposal whose length the
JOURNAL cannot measure.
But if there ever was a Cumberland
candidate whose denomination and cleo
ton We're more thoroughly "slated" in
Cumberland by Cumberland politician
the JOURNAL is not aware of his identity.
And if there is anything, whether as
an individual or IL concern, more COM
pletely bound, hand and foot, than the
For"m to that "slate, the JOURNAL wots
not of it,
What is the use, then, of all this mock
assumption of liberty when, whether as
paper OF an individual, it is voluntarily
slave to both party and faction, es-
| pecially to faction?

Offenders Over There.

Very vigorous complaint is made that the
great amount of saw dust thrown into Deck
ers Creek has ruined the water and is killing
the fish great many West Virginia
streams have been spoiled by saw mills and
coal and coke works.-Morgantow CIV. Val
Ae~ DominiOn
Over here West Virginia ''saw-mills
and coal and coke works." emptying into
Maryland stream, do not spoil it.
Nor do "saw-mills and COAL works
injure Maryland streams.
Hence, "West Virginia streams" must
be of Il very inferior quality of water
courses.
Moreover, Maryland has laws which
seem to be available as bludgeons for only
such industries as the town that happens
to own the stream elects as boss polluter.
Which leads to the question-will the
Ne" Dominion furnish list of West
Virginia streams" each accompanied by
the name of the town on its banks that
has IL title-deed from "Old Mother Ma
ture' to the whole creek?

On the Wrong Track

Inc FOrHm thinks
The majority of the newspapers appear to be
in sympathy with the men with few excep-
tons, that in the role Of peace. makers try to
gam all the advantages they can for the
operators.
That is, of course, intended to impeach
the good faith of the JOURNAL.
But the JOURNAL was iDritrd to assist
i'll the peace-making business
And four members of the committee
will testify that the JOURNALS conten-
ton first, last and all the time was and is
that the business movement should be
limited to bringing the oprrntor& and
miners into contr,rncr. Beyond this the
committee should not go the width of IA
hair-line.
Then let operators and miners deter
mine for themselves the matter of ''ad-
vantages'
Not only i'll committee, but the JOUR
NAL has SO held III talks with approving
miners.
Why the ForHm was not invited, in
stead of the JOURNAL, to aid the com
mittee i'll peace-making is an offence for
which the JOURNAL cannot be held to
account.

One of humanity's derelictions is a
lack of consideration and allowance for
other peoples judgments.
Too often the average man betrays the
belief that his neighbor, i'll the enjoy.
ment of different opinions, is simpleton
But there is more than one way of
looking at things.
There are more than two.
Indeed, there are just as many ways
of looking at things as there are people
Hence, the man who knows enough
to tolerate and is liberal enough to re.
spect the convictions of others is both a
philosopher and christian.
In life's highest estate, therefore
there is no reason for anything but
liberality, no room for anything but
magnanimity.
