An Example Of Civic Duty
rom the New York World.

NA'h Ah' ANNN III n NoAANs
The acceptance of ex-President
Cleveland of his appointment as a
member Of the Industrial Peace Com
mittee was hardly expected. If any
American could ask exemption from
the duty which this Commission i'm
poses on the score OF dignity and Of
distaste for public activities, the man
who has been twice President of the
United States. and who is now living
in congenial retirement. is surely the
man. Yet Mr. Cleveland accepts the
position OF cOnciliator or arbitrator of
difficulties between employers and en-
ployed on the ground that 1t is "an
important public duty"
This high standard OF duty has like
wise moved all the other citizens des-
! ignated as the Committee of Thirty
siX-every one named having accepted
though the list includes the busiest
men bearing the heaviest RESPONSE
bilities 10 be found in the United
States
Such an example of civic duty in tn,
cause OF industrial peace. prosperit,
and contmtment cannot fail to have {
powerful influence in promoting tn,
success OF the great American prlnci
ple of arbitration which the Worlt
has so long advocated alike for ma
tional and industrial misunderstood
ings.

SEEKING rRouRI.Ia

The Sunday Star is evidently seek
ing trouble. and II so it can be accom-
modated. 1t takes few lines OF a news
item from the Evening Journal as a
text upon which to preach a sermon
Here It Isl
1T is said that Richard Buckingham
is the choice OF the Citizens Commit
tee"
The Star declares that 1t is not true;
on the other hand we wish to declare
emphatically that It is true. That is
THAT there was such a rumor Does the
Star know all that is said about this
subject or any other subject? This
was only rumor; we said So Possibly
II should not have appeared in print
without qualification, since II might
mislead some. 1t probably arose from
the fact that It was supposed that ma
iority Of the members OF the commit
tee favored the man named Is there
anything in the nature of the commit
tee to prevent individual members
from having their ideas regarding the
fitness Of candidates for public office,
and from advocating their appoint
ment? If so. no man with a particle
of self-respeot would serve as a mem
Der of such body. We never sup
posed for a minute that the committee
as body would advocate any man for
office. and We never said so; the news
item simply gave it as a rumor Per-
maps the rumor should not have been
published, or IL might have been given
as a rumor regarding the attitude Of a
majority of the members OF the COM
mittee
But the Star evidently wants TO soold
and goes on TO criticise a fellow mem
Der of the committee who is fnan-
cially interested in the Journal This
shows lack of courtesy equal 10 its
lack OF sense Granting that THE few
lines quoted should have been modified
does it suppose that the editor OF
owner can scan every line that appears
in each issue? If so we can only say
in charity that It's ignorance is due to
a lack of the requirements of daiS
paper The attempt to make a
mountain out OF molehil will no
succeed. The gratuitous insult TO 4
gentleman interested in this papei
meets with our contempt There hav'
been attempts on the part Of two o
three newspaper men to appropriate
the reform movement to themselves
and to attempt to dictate the policy o
the other newspapers.
No paper will go farther than tn
Journal in commencing the work o
the Reform Committee; it has done
splendid work; il has shown lack O
partisanship which is commendable
as body it has urged no man for ap
pointment to Office, but its member
g individually retain their rights, an
r we repeat that Il was rumored thi
number of these are urgin

NEW WSPAPER OPINION
The Presidents Motive

From the Boston Herald
Henry c. Payne, the late selection by
President Roosevelt for his
Cabinet has so much a
reputation for shrewdness In political
management that suspicion is express
de i'm some quarters that the President
has obtained mis- services with a view
to organizing a machine for his own
reelection TO his office. We are not
disposed to take much stock in sudh
speculatons. Mr.. Roosevelt is not by
nature q machine builder. and, If HE
desires a re-electiom-which he may
creditably dove do not think he
would proceed to compass Il in that
way. II is more reasonable to sup
pose that he wishes to come to 1t
Through a successful administration of
the office as me now holds It. He may
feel confident THAT, as regards states
mansIhip, he is safe in being his own
adviser, but that i'm politics he is less
at home It Is not incredible that. in
this point of viow he was moved to
take a capable politician into his Cabi-
net, whose counsel would be likely to
be OF value 10 him in dealing with his
own party.

WAYFARER'S NOTEBOOK
One Type Of Vanity

The insatiate desire Of human be-
ings TO get themselves took on any
sort of picture is really wonderful. No
matter what the occasion. when pho
tographer is about to take a picture
some hiped comes along and stands
himself in one corner. If il be build
ling. or landscape, a man or boy must
be in IL. and it is a very provoking cir
.cumstance to most photographers
What sort OF vanity 1t is to cause a
man 10 thrust his physiognomy into a
beautiful landscape picture, where nc
other person is to be seen is hard for
the Wayfarer to understand.

Heavy Rains Cause Much Damage.

Knoxville, Tenn, Dec. 30-Incessant
rains for the past 4S hours through
out east Tennessee threaten to do
more damage to property than the
disastrous food of last May, when
eight lives were lost and fully $4,000
600 damage was done to railroad and
farming property. The Southern rail
way has annulled all trains between
this city and Asheville, N. c., owing
to water-covered and badly washed
tracks between Newport and Rankin
All through traffic and mail will be
handled over the Norfolk and West
ern railroad. 1t will be impossible fol-
the Southern railroad to handle trains
east via Asheville until late today at
least.

LINEMAN's MARROW ESCAPE
Suspended In Mid-Air and 2,4oo Volts
Passed Through Body


Passed Through Body.
Baltimore, Nd, Dec. 3O-Lineman
Frank Wall, who on Saturday was
found suspended from a cross bar
clutching a live wire which was send
ing 2.4OO volts through his body, was
out yesterday
Wall climbed a 5O-foot pole and ac-
cidentally caught hold of live wire.
The current pulled him from his
perch and he would have fallen to
the ground had not his climbers
strap caught His head struck and
smashed an electric light globe Hang
ing thus head downward, he strug-
gled, while the current burned his
hand, leg and clothing. In last fren-
zied effort he broke away from the
charged wire. At no time did he lose
consciousness, and his screams were
pitiml.
