Friends of the Soldier.

There has been nothing more important
in a long time among the general orders
from the headquarters Of the army than
the order relating to rife compe-
titions. The resumption Of this work In
the military service at the home
garrisons means that the former policy Of
training our soldiers in craftsmanship has
the approval and will receive the encourage
ment OF the. present administration. 1t Is
a wholesome sign, since 1t conveys the
assurance that our soldiers will be able to
maintain the efficiency Of the army as a
body Of crack rihemen. Tho annual COM
petitions have been productive Of much
that was valuable. The results have been
practical and Of such Importance hat now
that the army is returning from the Philip
pines 1t has been deemed advisable to take
UP this work again.

The president has become tired Of hear
ing OF the requests for discharge made by
some restless enlisted men of the navy.
Some Of these requests are made on very
trivial grounds and plainly show that the
men who make them have no better reason
for leaving the service than the individual
disinclination Of staying in It. The presi-
dent has, therefore, decided that there
must be the best of reasons before a dis
charge is hereafter granted and he desires
that those who come into the navy and
those who are there now will understand
and appreciate the attitude OF the authori-
ties on this important question. Here ia
his order on the subject:
White House, Washington, July 10, 1907
No enlisted person In the naval service Of
the United States shall be discharged there
from prior to the completion of his term of
enlistment, except for one of the following
causes: Undesirability, inartitude, physical
or mental disability or unftness. In every
case the recommendation for such discharge
must be made by the commanding officer
of the vessel on which the man may be
serving. Applications for discharges which
reach the department in any way except
through the commanding officers OF vessels
shall be, without exception, disregarded.

There is a good deal Of secrecy necessarily
surrounding the negotiations pending be-
tween the representatives Of this govern
ment and the holy see respecting the with
drawal OF the friars from the Philippines
and the disposition of their lands. The mat
ter does not seem to lent itself to prompt
settlement, however amicable may be the
effort to the greatly desired end. The papal
representatives appear to be furnishing an
obstructive argument against the adoption
OF the plan furnished Governor Taft when
he left Washington for Rome some weeks
ago, During the present. weak Mr., Root
has had occasion to go to the summer home
of the president and consult with Mr.. Roose-
welt respecting the most recent aspect OF the
friar question. There is q growing sus-
picion, which may or may not be justified
by the circumstances, that the administra-
ton fnds Its proposition Is not received
without question at the vatican. or course.
the partisan critics of the president and the
secretary Of war are very eager to seize
upon the administration and II would give
them the keenest Joy to learn that the
president and the secretary have failed in
the effort at Rome. II must be admitted
that the friar question has a ticklish po-
litical side to It to the extent that It might
in the hands OF clever political agitators
have a religious Significance. which N real

ADMISSION OF TERRtTosihS

One Of the resolutions adopted by the
National League of Republican Stubs
declares In favor of the admission to
statehood of the territories of New
Mexico, Oklahoma and Arizona and the
extension of a territorial form of gov
erpment to the Indian territory at the
earliest practicable date, having due
regard for the interests of the people
of the states and territories and Of the
United States"
BY arrangement the bill for the ad-
mission of the territories seeking state
hood will be taken up for consideration
In the United States senate early in the
coming session and there is every reason
to expect that it will be passed.
The conditions in all these territories
are such as to justify giving them state
hood and the promise of admission
long held out to them should not be
longer deferred. 1t has been assumed
that political considerations had much to
do with delaying the necessary legisla-
ton and if so they should not be per-
mitted to exert further influence. The
latest statistics from the territories
show them to be prosperous and pro-
crossing, so that there cannot be a rea-
sonable doubt as to their fitness to be-
come states and this should be the only
matter for the consideration of con-
gress.

THE SONG OF LABOR.

You have suns OF the sea and the fountain
OF love and OF envy and hate;
You have babbled of brook and Of noun
tain,
OF sorrow and hunger and fate:
You have sung US the song of the saber,
And chanted of unit and of hall,
Come, sing us the glory of labor
OF labor-the master OF all!
A ballad OF muscle and sinew;
A measure of muscle and might
Twill call for the best there is In you,
And ring through the day and the night.
A song of the rails and the furnace
A song that will clang in it's strength,
And steadily hold us and turn us BE-
To gazing at labor, at length
A chant of the field and the stubble,
with meter to scythe-swinging set;
A sonnet built up from the rubbls.
And cleaning with Jewels of sweat;
A murmur of forge and of bellows
A lyric OF compass and tools,
To bring us In touch with our fellows
And show to us labor, that rules.
So. cease from the pipe and the tabor.
You dallying singers of song.
And Il IN 10 the telling of labor,
In passages ringing and strong.
The song that you sing will not perish.
But live in the ages TO come;
Its lifting forever Wen cherish,
So, sing IL! For why are you dumb?

AMENDING THE CONSTITUTJoS

The letter from Judge Letton printed
in The Bee with reference to the pend
ing proposition to amend the amending
clause of the Nebraska state constitu-
ton, to be submitted TO the voters at
the coming election, calls attention to
the Importance Of constitutional re-
vision and more particularly to the OBJ
stacles that have beset the path in for
mer years, which the proposed amend
ment is designed to remove.
Judge Letton, however, overlooks what
seems to us to be al almost insurmOunt-
able obstacle raised by the new ballot
law enacted by the last legislature
which, unless declared invalid so far as
1t relates to the submission of constitu-
tional amendments, is sure to defeat the
present proposition. The new ballot law
undertakes to provide for the registra-
ton Of a straight party vote in favor
of, or against, the constitutional amend
ment, according as 1t is endorsed or dis.
approved by the conventions of the re-
spective parties making nominations.

tons in Nebraska took any action for
or against the pending amendment the
straight party vote contemplated by the
ballot law could not be counted at al
as a vote on the amendment and under
the ruling of the supreme court failure
of the voter to express himself on the
proposition is the same as a vote against
it
In our judgment, this entire provision
of the new ballot law is demonstrations
and invalid because 1t endeavors to re
cord the voter by a sort of eOnstructlv,
process, Of rather to let the party con
ventiOn cast his vote for him by reso
luton. We believe the letter and spiri
Of the constitution requires the positive
expression OF the individual voter an,
that If properly brought before tn,
courts a decision would be had nullify
ing that part of the ballot law and re
storing to us the former provision for

ments.

The coal sharks are about to discover
that they have public obligations to full
Gil. They have been proceeding or the
superstition that the ownership and conduct
OF their business are entirely and uncondi-
tionally their AFFAIR. This opinion
shows ignorance Of existing laws relating
to quasi public service. Even in a more
limited and less vitality necessary business
like that OF running grain elevators the
United States supreme court sustained the
validity Of an Illinois statute regulating the
service given and fixing the prices. The
supreme court stated the main principle as
follows; Property does become clothed
with a public interest when used in a man
ner to make it OF public consequence and
affect the community at large. When, there
fore, one devotes his property to a use in
which the public has an interest he in
effect grants to the public an interest in
that use and must submit to be controlled
by the public for the common good to the
extent OF the interest he has thus created. Z"
The court said that the statute simply ex-
tended a we'll known principle Of law to
meet a new development Of commercial
progress.

public and private necessity. II is essen
tial to life and its lack for a single day
might be murderous. The coal operators,
In order to pile up huge profits. ave ell
lowed the season to drift by without action.
They have not viewed the situation as in
volving a public responsibility or calamity.
They have merely looked forward to mark
ing up the price OF all fuel to any figure
they choose to exact. II is not yet clear
how the rights Of the public will be en-
forced, but their vigorous assertion is now
unavoidable. A conspiracy to I'LL the land
with suffering for the sake Of obtaining a
hvefold or tenfold profit is a terribly grave
offense against society. The people must
protect themselves and those In authority
must guide their steps within the Law
Nothing more outrageous has ever been
seen in any form of public business than
the cold-blooded Indifference with which
the coal operators have planned and waited
for the existing conditions. They knew
what would happen and hoped that il would

entailing misery and want on millions. II

Chicago Union Sets a New Pace ~

Chicago News.
That the increasing power and influence
Of labor unions should be accompanied BY
a growing appreciation OF the responsible
tty which the possession Of such power
entails seems a logical and natural de-
velopment. The enormous strides which
have been taken by union labor recently
make II appear probable that its leaders
will recognize soon the expediency OF ac-
cepting full responsibility as a necessary
consequence OF labor's honorable status in
the industrial world.
Carroll d. Wright, United states com
missioner Of labor, in accounting for the
peremptory refusal Of the anthracite mine
operators to come to a settlement with
their striking miners ascribes their action
to an alleged belief that such a settlement
would lack binding force. The operators.
he says. argue that Just as there were
strikes in 1900 and 1902, when political
pressure could be expected to force a set
Element, there would be a strike again
in 1904, when a presidential election might
lead to political Intervention. This plea.
Of course, does not in any way Justify the
operators in their present refusal to listen
to the grievances urged by President
Mitchell and the United Mine Workers in
good faith and on the grounds Of common
humanity. However. the lack Of a means
Of binding the men to their bargains gives
the operators an excuse for evading a set
Element. The incorporation Of a union
must have the effect of making its agree
ments binding. But such Incorporation
would also give It a stronger position and
an additional argument with which to con-
flute the employer who presumed to deny
its right to demand the making of an
equitable bargain.
The action Of the Wholesale Grocers'
Employees union Of this city in deciding
to become Incorporated is Of timely inter
est as pointing to advantages which labor
may expect to gain IN this way. Evidently
the members Of that union feel that 1t Is
worth while to become incorporated. since
by so doing they can effect a satisfactory
agreement which shall be binding on both
sides. There are numerous strong and
honorable labor unions which now live up
to their agreements carefully and faith
fully. Such unions have everything to
gain and nothing to lose by taking the
one additional step of becoming incorpo-
rated and therefore responsible in law as
we'll ae in fact.

The Indignation Of General Perrin at
the intimatlon that he shook hands with
Dreyfus furnishes another apt illustra-
ton of the volatility of French charac-
ter. To shake hands with Dreyfus
would be an objectionable offence in the
present state of French prejudice and
bigotry. 1t would be in order now for
Dreyfus to repudiate with equal show
of indignation the suspicion hat he
would nave shaken hands with a man
Of such narrow calibre as General
Perrin.
