A Remarkable News aBeat,.

eThe Press" on Oct. IA was the
only Philadelphia paper giving, in
its early editions, the result of the
conference between President Roose-
welt and J. Pierpont Morgan that
practically settled the coal strike.
The agreement of the coal mine oper-
ators to arbitrate their differences
with the miners was news Of national
importance. "The Press" being the
only newspaper to give the public
this news in the wide territory COW
cred by its first editions, made a
notable addition to its many similar
achievements in the past. "The

THE WASHINGTON LETTER.

1t is difficult to find words to ex-
press the qualification felt at the sue
cessful outcome of the presidents
efforts to end the coal strike. When
he first broached the subject, Mr..
Roosevelt's political advisors depre-
Gated his proposition. They said he
would accomplish nothing and would
make enemies for himself and his
party, that even if he secured the
consent Of both to arbitration, it
would possibly fall to him to name
the arbitrat0rs and that he could not
do with making enemies; he had no
legal right to interfere and he had
better abstain from adding to his
responsibilities. To all of which,
Mr.. Roosevelt replied that he could
not contemplate the appalling pros
pect Of the continuance Of the strike
into winter months, with the terrible
and widespread suffering which must
ensue, and feel that he was doing his
duty as the chosen representative Of
the people without at least making
an effort to culminate the struggle.
The history of his efforts is known,
including the tact with which he
conducted the meeting Of the oppon-
ents, the gentleness with which he
received the accusations Of the rail-
way presidents, that he was not doing
his duty because he had not sent
federal troops to protect their inter
ests, the earnestness with which he
pursued his efforts, even after the
first conference failed, the courage
with which he insisted that the oper-
ators permit him to add q labor
leader to the list Of arbitntors and
the pursuasiveness with which he
led Mitchell to accept the arbitration
commission he had selected. The
whole goes to make up one of the
most creditable chapters in the his
tory of long line Of republican
administrations and demonstrates
beyond cavil the excellent judgment
of the president Of the United States.
Everyone seems confident that the
commission Mr. Roosevelt has select
ed will ascertain the facts and adjud-
icate the contentious with perfect
impartiality. Under the rules which
will govern the proceedings Of the
arbitrators a two-thirds vote will be
required on every mooted question
and their findings will bind both
miners and operators for period Of
at least three years, it is hoped much
longer.

By his close attention to the coal
strike, the president has forfeited the
short period of rest he hoped to secure
at Oyster Bay before it became neces-
sarytoprepare his message to congress.
Mrs. Roosevelt has been compelled
to go to Long Island without him.
While there she will close the sum-
mer home and will soon return with
the children to Washington. Every
effort is being made to complete the
new Office building which will be
used by the president so that he may
have the use Of the entire building
known as the temporary White House
for residence purposes, after his fam
lily returns and for the remaining two
months which it will take to complete
the renovation of the White House
proper.

1t will take very graceful and
plausible democratic oratory to con-
vince any great number Of people
that are not better on than they were
before, to say nothing Of their con-
dition during the democratic low

people have savings bank accounts to
their credit who had no accounts five
years ago. One Of the questions for
the voters to decide is whether they
shall keep them and add to them OF
wehther they shall lose them.

Although determined to do so only

purchased are not due until 1925 and

Many republican speakers pass
through Washington on their way
back and forth and all tell the same
tale Of democratic disorganization.
They say that the ablect failure Of
the Philippine question to make a
popular issue, followed now by the
settlement of the coal strike, leaving
the New York democratic platform
a lone monument to democratic dem
agogism, have had a most depressing
ing effect on the democratic workers
and it is not surprising that the con-
gressional committee is complaining
because it cannot secure spellbinders.
The democrats do not know where
they stand. Hill, the leader in New
York, is vigorously advocating
socialism. Coler, the candidate for
governor, has repudiated the plat
form. In Illinois, the campaign
committee has practically confessed
itself bankrupt and numerous state
committees could confess the same
with equal truth. Even the trust
issue has paled into insignificance.
In view Of the attorney generals
recent lucid explanation of the situa-
ton and the prospect of adequate
legislation for the control Of the situ-
alton and the prospect of adequate
legislation for the control Of the
trusts at the first session of the fifty
eighth congress, there is no ground
on which to appeal to the people to
vote for "the party Of calamity and
unsound financial methods"
