SOUND DOCTRINE.

Archbishop Ireland will not, by workmen be
regarded as a tool of the octopus He IS n
nriest widely known for his belief in democratic
PRINCIPLES and American institutions. unstained
either by the disorders of anarchy or the cor
ruptions of wealth. His name has been men
toned by strikers at various times as an ac-
ceptable arbitrator of their recurring disputes
with employers. They should therefore mark
carefully the words of this friend Of laborng
men concerning the policy which they are be-
ing inevitably led into by their leader in his
efforts TO keep the mills of the steel companies
closed. He says:
While the right 10 enter upon strike is and
must be conceded right belonging to the
personal freedom of workingmen, this much
must ever be demanded-and in the name of the
same principle of personal freedom under which
men act who refuse to work-that they VINO
cease to work must in way interfere with
the liberty of others who may wish to work
The personal freedom of the individual citizen IS
the most sacred and precious inheritance OF
Americans. The constitution and the laws au-
thorize it, the spirit of the country procla It;
the prosperity of the people, the very life OF the
nation, require It,
There is material for thought in those words
for the men of Pennsylvania who have been
threatening to let no men work in the mills
where they decline 10 work. Also for the Mayor
OF McKeesport who announces that he will de-
port from town all non-union men who come
there to work in the place of the strikers. Other
people have told them that such men had right
10 work if they wanted to- But those who give
good advice of that kind are commonly de-
nounced as creatures of the trusts. Surely
Archbishop ireland will escape that reproach.

INTEGRITY OF OATHs AND CONTRACTS.


From time immemorial the integrity of oaths
and contracts has been recognized as one OF the
foundation stones of social order. There has
been no more damning reproach against an
individual or State than that he or it broke
solemn pledges and disregarded formal oblga-
tions The man who breaks his word. the
nation which breaks ITS treaties. Is in meas
ure and Justly. outlawed There is no more
positive provision of the constitution of the
United States than that forbidding the making
Of any law impairlng the validity Of contracts.
At the present time, however, there are before
the world two conspicuous cases III which the
deliberate breaking of oaths and reputation of
contracts are urged as not only rights, but
duties. One is in South Africa, where General
Botha demands that Beers shall violate parole
and break their oath of neutrality or allegiance.
If they will not do so he will fine them and
throw them into prison His demand is that
Beers shall repudate and break their Oaths. on
the ground that those oaths were taken with
ont the sanction of their military superiors and
are therefore null and void. That is to say. a
burgher's oath is not binding upon him unless it
be approved by General Botha or Mr.. Steynl
The other case is in this country. in the great
steel strike. Mr. Shaffer the president of the
Amalgamated Association. advises and instructs
his constituents that the contracts into which
they have entered with the companies void
able at will because of their prior and superior
obligations to the Amalgamated Association.
Before you agreed to any contracts" he tells
them. 'you took an obligation to the Amalga-
mated Association" And so, at the demand OF
that association, they must repudiate those con-
tracts. According to that principle, the con-
tract made by member of that association
would not be worth the paper it was written
upon For what is a mans oath worth If he is
free to break it at the word of some other?
We cannot believe that in either affairs Of
state or those of private business any such
code of treachery and perjury can permanently
prevail.

dacity or "bluffing" and no fixed precedent Is

road managers themselves should take 1t IN
hand For through trains and passengers
there ought to be assystem of reserv1ng ana
specially allotting all seats just as In theatres

not be practicable. but even in those cases there
should be certain fixed and equitable rules
which it should be the duty of the trainhands
to enforce The car window question may be
beyond mortal power to settle. That of the car

TIE POLICE TRAPPED

The exposure of the police authorities made
by the Society for the Prevention of Crime is
OF extraordinary significance. Nothing so COM
pletely indicating the corruption of the force at
the head has ever been brought 10 public at
tention backed up by specific evidence. Start
ling as were the revelations of the Lexow in
vesugation. no systematic alliance of the Police
Department with crime was established. II
was shown that individual policemen and cap
tains and even higher officers carried on black
mail, and differences were plain that corruption
so widespread could not exist without an or
ganization of the force for the purpose. but no
proof was furnished of the existence and work
ings of this organization. Now however, by a
clever ruse the whole Police Department is
proved 10 be, under the personal direction of
Devery himself al the service Of the Criminals
paying for protection.
Mr.. Moss by allowing one Of his agents to
pretend 10 sell out 10 the gamblers, secured
complete information concerning the method Of
Tipping off" houses about to be raided. Whit
ney, one Of the pOolrOom "tippers," now under
arrest told the socetys agent whom he sup
posed he had bribed to give information of
raids contemplated by Mr.. Moss that he could
send word by telephone through Police Head
quarters 10 the threatened gamblers and that
Devery had given orders to the police operators
TO make any connections desired by Whitney
IF any operator at headquarters refuses TO
make connection for you, tell him you rep
resent Edgar A. Whitney. If he stin refuses
''tell him 10 call the chief" He also gave the
agent Dillon a list Of gambling houses which
were 10 have warning. Dillon put the efficacy
Of the tipping" 10 the test. He sent out 'tips"
10 Whitney himself az his private Office. and
almost Immediately other agents Of the society
stationed 10 watch the houses in question saw
an exodus from them and a closing down. That
established Whitney's relations 10 the houses.
He also sent Tip" TO Whitney, which the lat
ter said be would telephone TO the police can
tain of the precinct and as a result the acting
captain Of that precinct and policeman were
Immediately seen 10 hurry TO the house In ques-
tiOn, and were heard TO tell the people there TO
close up. Inasmucb as police sta atoms can only
be communicated with by telephone through
headquarters, and al the discretion OF the head
quarters operators, the close relations between
both the precinct and central Office police and
the gamblers were shown.
Dillon himself also sent cut tip through
headquarters 70 police station, which was re-
ceiEed by a person who said he was Sergeant
Schulum. and watchers at once saw two police
men 90 from that station 10 the house so tipped
on" Finally, 70 cap the climax, after Whitney
had been arrested Police Headquarters was
called, and the speaker. after explaining that
