Wv = HEN the Anthracite Coal
IA Strike commission aD-
pcared for instructions
before Theodore Roose-
welt, its creator acting. as he said for
the third party in interest, the Ameri-
can people. it was told not only to hear
and adjust the immediate differences
between the operators and mine work
crs. but also. and as the really import
ant part of its mission. to seek Il basis of
permanent amity and justice in the an
thracte industry. We believe that if
that instruction of Theodore Roosevelt
had any weight then it has the same
weight today and will have no less
weight on and after December 9.
Il is. of course. sincerely to be hoped
that within the next ten days the legal
representatives of two of the parties in
intercst-the mine workers and oper-
ators--may find Il basis Of agreement
as TO the mathematics OF the coal in
dus'ry 1t is decidedly to the best in
telests of these anthracite fields that
the mine workers should secure an in
crease in wages. a reduction in the
hours of labor and. if possible to find
1t. better basis Of payment for piece
work in the mines. On all OF these
points the sympathies of the whole
community and it's self-interest as well
are wholly with the plaintiffs. The more
money distributed in wages in and
about the mines, the greater the volume
of local trade and the more chance each
man has to advance his personal busl-
ness. a ten PEI cent. wage increase
would be welcome, but a twenty per
cent. one would be better.
But when we come to the ethics OF
the problem there dare be no shirking
The third party in interest looks to the
commission to see to it that the right
of any man to dispose of his labor as
he pleases within the law shall not lie
abridged. For this is a right not local
to the coal industry II is a right which
vitality concerns the entire American
public. And next to it in Importance
stamping out the spirit of anarchy
hitherto rife in these parts and in le-
quiring better order. Unless this shall
be done, the spectacle will be presented
of semi-officiu, invitation being eX-
tended to wage-earners to seek in
creases of pay by methods of terror
ization.
1t seems to be not an unfair dedlc-
ton from the proceedings thus far that
II any effeCtuul safeguarding of the
public interests in the coal industry Is
to be accomplished it must come
through the cOmmissioa itself and rot
through mutual agreement among the
legal representatives of the bclliscrents.
We are frank to say that in our opin-
ION neither Mr.. Mitchell in indianapolis.
nor Mr.. Morgan in New York would
strongly object to sacrificing the public
interest If it got in the way of the spe-
cial interest he represents. Here il
where the commission has large. duty

Third Assistant Postmaster General
Madden argues for a 400 per cent. in
crease in the postage rate on maSa-

there is to be an era of price-jumping,
Uncle Sam should get in the push.

If the United States should frankly
assert the logic of the Monroe doctrine
by notifying Colombia that in the in
terest of civilization it proposes to take
possession of such portions Of the 18TH
mus of Panama as are required for the
construction and safety Of an isthmian
canal, leaving the whole question of
compensation TO The Hague arbitration
court, we believe that the enlightened
opinion Of the world would justify the
action and that its immediate influence
in sitting petty hold-up craftsmanship
in South America would be most de-
sirable. The day has gone by when a
sovereignty of sheer cussedness counts
for much in the processes Of interna-
tional PROGRESS.

believe that the officials OF the Cuban

nounce the Platt amendment limitations

The Baltimore News i'm its
issue of Saturday has the fol-
lowing to say in regard to the
contest between Mr.. Ellegood
and Mr.. jackson i'm the First
Congressional district: "As the
district is normally Democratic,
it depends altogether upon
whether the disciples of Jeffer-
son will turn out and vote from
principle or will decline to ex-
ercise the right of franchise un-
less paid for it. The result will
probably have a far-reaching
effect on future campaigns. for
if Mr.. EllegoOd, who is making
IA strictly anti-bribery cam
paign, is defeated, it will mean
that no man need run for Office
on the Eastern Shore unless he
is willing and able to buy his
place. /"

THE PENDING ELECTION; ITS
VITAL IMPORTANCE.

AS the day of election draws
near the Importance of the cleo
ton and its far-reaching pos
sibilities are drawing with ire
mendous effect upon the public
conscience. Slowly but surely
the signs of the;times point with
unerring finger to social and
political change. No man can
phrophesy the form it may as
sumo. Some who are alive to
the vital force and natural laws
that govern the destiny of men
and nations understand the
nature and spirit of the coming
change so near at hand. They
also know that the result of the
election will be a great factor i'm
giving shape and form to the
future policies that will govern
our affairs. They believe as
a vast majority of the American
people do, that the time has
come when the people and not
the trusts shall govern the af-
fairs of the nation. They know
that the power of these soulless
combinations has been acquired
by and through the policies of
the republican party. and now.
having grown to such colossal
proportions, defy the govern
ment and spurn the party and
power that gave them birth.
They also know that the ma
chinery of the republican party
has been the instrument of Civ
ing us a government of the
trusts, for the trusts and by the
trusts. The Importance of a
political change is manifest to
all who think, and read. and
understand. And the import
ance of this change is so appar-
ent that few will remain at
home on election day. 1t is the
solemn duty of every voter to
register his disapproval at the
ballot box on election day. i
disapproval that will say to or
ganized greed, mankind has
created wealth and Humanity
shall control it.

DEMOCRATIC SUCCESS.

I'VE believe firmly" says the
New York Journal. that the
election will be generally in fa-
vor of the Democratic side this
time. This belief is not founded
on the proposition that the wish
is father to the thought or even
on the idea.that the Democracy,
being in the right on the issues,
ought to win. but on a cold
blooded analysis of the condi-
tions and a comparison of the
figures adduced by various
agences. The indications, as
they are interpreted, are that
Mr.. Golfer will be the next
Governor of New York and that
the next House of Representa-
tives will be Democratic. This
year the people have been
starved by the Beef Trust and
threatened with freezing by the
Coal Trust. Business has been
hurt by the coal famine and
there has come from all over
the country an insistent de-
mand that these monstrous ag-
gregations of capital should be
shorn of their enormous power
of extortion and controlled.
With this demand has come the
realization that it is hopeless
to look for relief from trust eX-
actions to the Republican party.
So it is reasonable to estimate
that Mr.. Coler will poll more
votes than did Judge Van
Wyck."

r1R. VANDIVER'S CLAIM.

Chairman Murray Vandiver.
who has had charge of the cam
paign in the state, said yester-
day:
"We are going to carry five
of the six districts, and | base
this opinion on reports received
from the various counties i'm
the state. | have never seen
our people more confident. You
may think it a presumption on
my part to claim the Sixth dis
trict, but we have information
as to the conditions i'm Frederick
and Allegany counties which
indicate a division in the repub-
lican ranks. This disaffection
is so widespread as to threaten
serious inroads i'm Mr.. Pearre's
vote. Mr.. Kenneweg is very
popular throughout the district.
and unless | am misinformed
will poll a very large vote.
''The First, Second, Third and
Fourth districts are normally
democratic, and with all party
men working together harmoni-
Dusty, as they are now doing.
there is no doubt of the election
of our candidates in those dis
tricts.
"ln many respects this cam.
paign has been almost a remark
able one. 1t is nothing unusual
to find the voters apathetic in
an off year, but this time there
is absolutely no interest shown
anywhere. Notwithstanding
all this we have scored on our
opponents in the registration.
always give this branch of
campaign work my personal
attention, and am, therefore,
well informed, as | should be i'm
the matter of details. While |
expected some gains | was sur
prised when the returns showed
a distinct gain of 1850 over the
republican vote. We have the
figures here to prove this. The
reports give the names of every
democrat, every republican and
every prohibitionist who has
been newly registered and
stricken from the lists. Every
election district in the state was
covered. The most pleasing
part of the whole business is
that the work was done volun-
tarily and at comparatively
small cost.
"Will the voters come out =:
Well, the same democrats who
looked after the registration
will do their part on the day of
election. | have no fears of the
outcome. AS | told you before.
we will elect five of the six con
gresham.
