American proprietor of an American
made and American-reglstered ocean,
going ship to pay the higher wages
which American sailors require and de-
serve. and at the same time to compete
for traffic with the lower-wage ships of
England. France and Germany.
The city which wants factories and
mills to locate within Its limits and
contribute to Its increase of population
and business exchanges pays sub
sidy willingly. 1t may be an outright
bonus or a remission of taxation or a
subscription for a percentage of stock
or Il donation of site and buildings or
Il combination of some or all of these
features. but II is Il subsidy just the
same. Nobody objects to It. at least,
lin the early stages of city's indus
trial upbuildng objectors are few and
the policy is supported with enthusi-
asm by public spirited citizens. This
case Is exactly parallel with that of our
ocean shipping. 1t needs Il lift. a push,
an initial stimulus Once 1t gets under
full headway 1t can take care of itself.

State Campaign as
Viewed in Wayne
From the Ilonesdale Citizen.

Efom the lloneSuule Clll2en
YN THE pending campaign for the
Republican nominations for state
i officers, an entirely new aspect of
that feature of the political conditions
in Pennsylvania known as boss rule"
Is presented. Heretofore, when the
leader of the dominant party has made
choice of his candidate for governor.
he has announced his preference, and
called on the party to unite with him
in support of the candidate. From the
nomination of Hartranft. in 1872,
through the influence of Simon Cam
eron, to the nomination of Stone, in
1898, through the influence of Senator
Quay, this practice has been oh
served. In some instances-as in 1878,
1890 and 1S9S-the desired nomina ton
was secured only after contest, while
i'm others there was substantial unan-
unity. But In every case the prefer
cnce of the party leader was made
known at comparatively early stage
OF the canvass, and the party had
the opportunity of deciding whether to
support or oppose him.
This year, the situation is materially
different. Senator Quay-who, not
withstapding much opposition, stll
maintains his primacy in the party
has not taken the party into his conf
dence on the question of the candidate
for governor For a long time 1t was
supposed that he had made choice of
Attorney General Elkin. On April II,
however, he announced his opposition
TO Mr. Elkin. But While declaring his
purpose oil defeating the attorney gem

didate in his own county for delegate

a CORRESPONDENT of the
~ North American states force
4 - fully an opinion concerning the
anthracite strike which un-
doubtedly is gaining currency in this
country. He writes:
when two children are quarreline
with each other it is the parents duty
to set them right. especially when such
strife is detrimental to the rest of the
family. This is the situation of the
present strike. 1t is to be regretted
that the government is so dlatory in
checking this fragrant misuse of the
public interests. 1t is n1anifestly the
duty of the government to prevent the
slightest injury to the mines, because
1t affects the rights of every citizen of
the United States. since the damage
will ultimately fall on the people
through a higher price of coal 1t is
also the duty of the government to see
that all trains are run as usual, and
independent companies given Il free and
open market. The government has jur-
isdiction on the grounds of jeopardy
of the rights. life and property of its
citizens. and as a matter of public nui-
sance. 1t is peculiar that the govern
ment should recognize this duty of in
reference in bringing about peace in
the affairs of foreign natOns-sacrific-
ing the lives of its people, and spend
ing years and millions of dollars in the
occupancy of foreign territory, and yet
allow such internal commotion to
exist
We believe that time is coming
when the strong power of the govern
ment will step in when great strikes
begin and insist, in the interest of the
public welfare, upon their peaceful ad-
judication before Il competent court.
This will put professional labor
agitators and dishonest employers both
out of business. because neither could
survive the test Of public judicial in
vestigaton. In the way of such gov
ernment peace-keeping. some constitu-
tional difficulties now lie; but necessity
will remove or get around them. The
interests of civilized society are too in
tmately interviewer and interdependent
to be indefinitely subjected to frequent
strain and injury through the inter-
mittent barbarities of Industrial civil
wars.
That time has not arrived, however;
and for the present the question is,
What is the governments duty as the
strike case stands? Obviously there is
but one answer. 1t is to protect life
and property rights If either shall be
menaced, the government must come
immediately to the rescue. Men may
work and men may strike but whether
working or striking they must obey the
law or accept the consequences of its
violation. Messrs. Mitchell, Nichols,
Duffy and their colleagues have threat
ened with destruction by flood millions
OF dollars worth of property lying ut
the foundation of the business life and |
prosperity of the anthracite region; at |
any cost that threat must he Withdrawn |
