Good Advice for Athletes.

In his forthcoming book on physical
culture, Robert Fitzsimmons. the ex-
champion pugilist says: "One thing
that | want TO particularly impress
upon the young athlete is the priceless
value Of II good home and pleasant
home surroundings. Some boys and
young men have an idea that an ath-
lete must be tough This is all wrong
and it has been proved time and again
that the athlete, whether q runner
wrestler, boxer or anything else, can
best hit himself for manly sports If he
leads n clean. wholesome. good life
And this can best be found amid pleas

A certain young member of the Rit-
tenhousc Club. who has just returned
from a jaunt through Syria, says the
Philadelphia Record. freely admits tc
his friends his conclusion that he has
more money than brains. 1t seems
that, while travelling through the inter
ior of that country, he was prevailed
upon by one Of the sons of the prophet
to buy at an exceedingly high price 4
great deal of what was described TO
him as syrian lamb fleece" When
he returned 10 Philadelphia he sent
this TO his tailor with instructions to use
1t for lining heavy ulster he was hay
ing made. 4 week or so later he called
at the tailor's to try on the oyercOat

Cooperation In Lieu of Conflict.

N THE LAST issue of the Labor
Herald appears an editorial
Il. headed shall Labor Unions BE
Incorporated" of which the gist
Is that incorporation is a necessary
step in their evolution, and one calcu-
lated to be of widespread benefit. This
passage in it is especially notable:
Now that labor unions in general
are finding the strike so ineffective a
long to other people, labor organiza-
tion ownership offers a solution which
strikes never did nor could. God grant
that the day may soon come when
every member of ~ labor organization
will be an educated capitalist and joint
owner in the wealth producing indus
try in which he is engaged and whose
time. or such part of it as he needs
give to working, is spent in increasing
the output of that industry for his own
and others benefit and not in trying to
tear it down in a wasteful fight"
When the leaders of labor take this
sensible view and bend their energies
toward lnculcatlnE among tn"lr 1OilOW-
ers habits of fruGality and thrift, with
a view to joint investment with their
employers in the industries in which
they are employed, they will encounter,
not the present suspicion and distrust,
but sympathy and help. Most en-
ployers would speed the day that put
cooperation in place of conflict and
would meet their men more than half
way.

The offices named could repeal amend
or suspend the "ripper" bill or put
the city government of Scranton back
where it was year ago.
1t takes it for granted, of course,
that the people of Scranton are dissat-
isfied with the city government they
have received under the present "rip-
per" regime. We have not observed
evidences of such disappointment.
Those with whom we have talked con-
cerning the matter appear to be very
we'll pleased with the systematic,
straightforward and efficient manner
in which the affairs of the city are be-
ing administered. There are no scan
dals, there is no indecision, no turning
first one way and then another. In
stead order and system prevail and
the foundations are being laid for vet
better government as soon as abuses
of long standing can be remedied.
Nevertheless, if this 'ripper' regime
Is obnoxious and dstasteful to any
Republican, what's the use of throwing
a vote away next month on the Demo-
cratic county ticket? Even if that
ticket should be elected the 'ripper"
bill would stand and Recorder Connell
would hold over until his successor
was elected. The time to strike at the
ripper" regime is when it is before
the electorate for Endorsement. New
comb d Co. are simply using it and
the Lord Lieutenant Fleitz'' cry this
fall as ii small potato bid for office.

city's facilities of travel by
Il a street car strike over
points concerning which the
public often knows little presents n
striking argument for better methods
of arbitration. If the falling out of u
few men should cause a shutting off OF
the water supply, such Inconvenience
would result to Thousands of non-com-
batants that If a peaceful settlement
was not soon reached, the great mass
of innocent sufferers would find other
means to restore the suspended cur
rent and prevent a frightful famine.
Street cars have become almost as
great necessity in large cities as well
guarded water supplies, yet it is not
an uncommon thing to see them tied
up over trivial matters or by reason of
obstinacy or lack of judgment on the
part of u few men at the direct OK
pensc of multitudes. In cities as small
as Scranton it is possible for most men
to walk between their places of resi-
dence and places of employment: and
therefore q street car tic-up is not so
hurtful here as in larger cities where
by no possibility can rapid transit be
dispensed with. Yet even here the in
convenience is great and oppressive,
and there arc few who do not feel it
keenly.
Is there no way of relief to the pub
lie in such circumstances but to await
with such patience as can be sum-
moned the natural course of events? ?
Must the strike tediously exhaust itself
by first cxhausting the strikers or the
company? Must the few long stand in
way of the many? Are there not ways
to hasten II resumption of car service
regardless of whether all points at
issue have first been fully and wholly
settled?
If not, there should be.
