Carpenters Of Duluth and Superior
Get Together.
The carpenters of Duluth and supe-
rior have formed a district council. The:
idea is to have a common understand
ing as to the Conditions Of toll under;
which they may work, Heretofore
there has been complaint that Duluth
carpenters work for less In Superior
than they do in Duluth. Hereafter
there will be nothing like that. Both
unions will work together, and it is
likely that the same hours and wages
will govern both cities. A committee
is now at work on. a. constitution, and
when it. is ratified the council will be
permanently organized ; H. ~.

was that of the Dunmore Pioneer early
In the year 1889. Its founder and editor
was at that time an ardent member OF
the T. o. s. of A., which organization
takes a deep interest in the common free
schools of this nation.
AT that time, State Senator T.. e. Rob-
bins. OF Westmoreland county, had bill
before the senate covering nearly all the
points of free text books. The Pioneer
editor secured a copy of this bill and In
troduccd the matter to the Dunmore
| camp, which was on fire with enthusiasm
In support of the educational movement.
A district convention of the various
camps OF p. o. s. of A. was held in
Hyde Park (Mr. Farr's homc) in the
spring of 1889, and the matter was there
presented by the Pioneer man, who was
instructed to print blank petitions. and
have them sent out through the Dun
more camp to the various camps for sig

lshed prominently In the Pioneer. with
blank places for signatures. In due time,
the petitions came back largely signed,
| and they were sent on to Mr.. Robbins.
who duly acknowledged their receipt,
and thanked the people for what they
had done.
The Robbins bill was so bitterly OPP
posed that 1t never came from the COM
mittee; but here in Dunmore our peo-
pie know that they were moving in the
| matter of free text books more than one
year before Mr.. Farr was sent to Harris
| burg. And yet, Mr.. Farr poses, and has
posed. as the great originator of this
free text book law. Although this comes
at aate day. 1t is yet opportune to do
justice to ex-senator Robbins and the
good people of Dunmore.

cal union for the privilege of engaging
apprentices to do all the work, and as a
result, he hasn't got union man work.

inasmuch as they refuse to work at the

vocate Mr.. Farr for congress? His plea
of poverty Is all bosh. Any man owning
several valuable properties in Harris
burg and able to plank down $4,000 for

price per lot. besides being Interested as
stockholder in u coal mine in the soft
coal regions, is not so very poor after all.
IL all the workinsmen were half as~poor

pendent. Two years ago, when Mr. Con-
rcll provided Mr.. Farr with 1850 to pay
his campaign expenses, he was loud In
his praise of Mr.. Connell and said that

right man for the right place, and every
body mot excepting Mr.. Farr) knows
that Mr. Connell is the same man today,

The only argument being used against
Mr.. Connell is that he is an operator, or
vas. before he retired from the
coal business. But on this ground, both
candidates are equal; the same accusa- :
tion can be brought against both. We
must consider that there will be opera
tors at all times. or our industries
must cease, and that an individual oper-
ator is not half as black as he looks.
This was found out in the strike of
1900, when Mr.. Connell was instrumental
In settling that strike. and l dare say
that President Nichols and Secretary
Dempsey will bear this fact out. Fur
ther, he proves his interest in the well
fare of this community at large in secur-
ing the new transit company to fill the
gap made when the steel mills were re-
moved to Buffalo, and by so doing will
be the direct means of giving employ

Character Paramount,
tFrom the Pittsburg Gazette.

lrloHi tne IlttSDurS GaZette.J
70 UTTERANCES of the pres-
dent of the United States in
4 his Fourth of July speech in
Pittsburg We're more en-
phatic and insistent than those in
which he demanded that above every
other need of the nation was that the
administrators of the laws of the land
should be men Of character. The pres
ident returned to this subject twice
during his address, and in order that
its significance and import might be
fully understood he gave a terse epi-
grammatic analysis of character as it
1nds its best expression in the dis
charge of public duty. Common hon
esty, common sense and absolute cour-
age" declared the president, are the
commanding qualities of good char
acter in q public official. The analy-
sis Is Enthusiastically Rooseveltian
and measures the apt and forcible
trend of the chief executives mind.
He Is not given to hyperbole or unnec-
essary ornamentations of speech, but
we doubt had he spent hours in the
coinage of this phrase If he could have
stated more succnctly or comprehen-
sively the truth at which he was driv-
Ing. His application was by reason of
his theme narrowed, but the truth of
this analysis and its need for constant
application in every relation of life
make text luminous with instruction
beyond the limits of it's use by Presi-
dent Roosevelt on Friday.
Intelligence, rare intellectual devel-
opnlent, are valuable accessories in the
achievement of human purposes. Civ
ilization is enhanced and all the arts
and sciences made more completely the
servants OF human progress by the
possession of well-directed intelligence
and the employment of intellectual
gifts of high order. But these things
are almost, II not entirely nullihed in
their operation If the character COM
pound stated by President Roosevelt be
absent In the national life honesty.

the right In public and official acts
stand for quite as much of strength as
full treasury and a large army of de-
tense. The world respects character
with as much reverence as 1t regards

Last Word to Voters.

%HE LAST word to voters is
to be sure to vote. 1t can
II be taken for granted that
those who are actuated in
this campaign by envy, revenge or in
gratitude will be on hand early and do
all they can to defeat William Connell.
Personal motives are stronger with
most men than impersonal ones. The
danger to good government comes less
mentally vicious than from those per-
sons who are careless, easy going and
Indifferent in performing political
work.
We think it is generally recognized
by intelligent Republicans that of the
two men now running for congress
one of whom must be nominated as a
result Of this evenings primaries
William Connell is best equipped by
experience, practical ability and in
fluential touch with party leaders to
do effective work for the district at
Washington. Indeed, those opposing
him frankly admit that they have moth
ing to urge against his congressional
record but explain that their opposi-
ton arises from personal grievances,
disappointments or dislikes.
This being true, and the choice being
narrowed to Connell or Farr, let those
who are not moved by personal bias
go to the polls and vote for the former.
1t will take votes to decide this NOM
ination. Kindly feeling which remains
at home will not help one iota. One
vote by sore head will outweigh a
hundred sympathetic wishes from men
too busy or too indolent to go to the
primaries. AS congressman from this
district William Connell has never
neglected request from a constituent
or failed to do all he could in every
duty. Reciprocate today.

gun-boats. If American progress and
the stability of American institutions
decay It will be due to the weakening
Of character in the men called to repre-
sent the national thought and purpose
But the truth Is applicable just as
truly In private life. The world needs
character great deal more than 1t
needs brilliant intellects. Industrial,
commercial and social life present ex-
actly the same necessity for the possess
sion of common honesty. common
sense and absolute courage" or in 9TH
er words. character. 1t is in these
spheres that the possession Of COM
mon honesty, common sense and cour-
age" become most effective in elevating
the standard of living and making
strong the foundations of national life.
Honest men, men with the good sense
to face the problems Of daily existence
with fairness and justice and who have
the courage to do right under all cir
cumstances, are the men to whom the
country must turn in every time of
stress and trial. Accommodated rules
of business or of social life may gov
ern thousands of men, but they are
not the men who count in the real prog
ress of the world, no matter what may
be their wealth or their intellectual at
tainments.
President Roosevelt has demonstrat-
ed a new power for progressive leader
ship in the terse exordium upon char
acter contained in his Fourth of July
Grafton. He discloses the plummet line
Of his thought plunging below the sur
face of artificial life and taking sound
ings among the basic principles of all
human success and endeavor. The
truth he states is as old as the hills,
but that the chief ruler of a country
should give it such conspicuous place
in a speech intended for nation wide
reading points unerringly to the fact
that American national life Is sound at
the core and productive Of the charac-
teristics which insure national virtue.

A FEW POINTS FOR THE CoNsID-
ERATIoN OF WoRKINGMEN.

Editor OF The Tribune,
Sir; Now that we are in the last hours
of the fight for congressman for Lacka-
wanna county, it being necessary that
we should select the best and. most suit
able man for the position, two men
stand before us today in the persons of
William Connell and John II. Farr-one
looked upon as an operator and the other
posing as friend of labor. Therefore it
behooyes the man who poses as a friend
OF labor TO be consistent in all his actions,
and II he happens to be man of wealth.
he Is liable at all times to be trapped.
and to lind himself acting directly oppo-
site to the doctrines he is preaching.
Now let us analyze MIR. Farr's record.
In the first place; He lays just claim

tative Ball. of Texas, and Representa-
tive Sulzer. of New York. or these, Mr..
Hay is probably the most dangerous one.
although the latter will have opposition
in his own delegation. Representative
Swanson, of Virginia, who, until very
recently was political bed-fellow of Mr..
Hay, is now one of Mr. Richardson's
most earnest supporters. AS reward
for his services In behalf of the Tennes-
sean, Mr. Swanson expects to be made
chairman of the committee on ways and
means, of which committee, he has been
a member since the Fifty-second con-
greSs.

WASHINGTON ECHOES.
oecial Correspondence of The Tribune.

Special Correspondence Of The Tribune. :
Washington. July Z.
IF THE Democrats should happen to
capture the next house of represen-
| tatives, there will be a wild scram-
BILE for the speakership and other
offices of that branch of congress. Even
at this long distance from election. great
rivalry is being shown between the var
ious candidates for presiding officer.
There is no lack Of aspiring statesmen.
Long Jim" Richardson, of Tennessee,
who has been leading the minority in the
house since Joe" Bailey went to the
senate, has been trimming his sails for
the speakcrship race for the past year or
more, but his chances of success are not
as bright as they were before the meeting
of the present congress. He has shown
himself to be a rather weak and vaccil-
lating brother at times when leader
was most needed on the minority side Of
the chamber. In fact, he was frequently
charged during the session just closed
with playing into the hands of the ma
jority when important political questions
We're under discussion before the house.
This has disgusted a great many Demo-
Gratis with Mr.. Richardson's leadership,
and instead of being the unanimous
choice of his colleagues. he will have
strong opposition for the speakership,
should the next house be Democratic.
