BEAT HIM TO IT.
Why Mackey Didn't Endorse Tomlin'
son for q. s. Marshal

Secretary OF State Clark wifi return
tonight from New York, where he has
been for the past two weeks. Although
absent from the state when the va
caney in the United States marshalship
occurred, Mr.. Clark got in his recon-
fnendation and thereby hangs an
amusing story.
Last Saturday evening just after w.
H. Mackey had secured Senator Bur-
toms promise to appoint him as marshal
Mr. Mackey was standing in the Union
Pacific depot in Abilene and two tele-
grams were handed him. He opened
the first one. 1t was from ]. B. Tomlin-
son of Minneapolis, and read:
II have just wired Burton that you
are my choice for marshal
Mackey then tore open the other. Tt
was from George A. Clark, and it ran
as follows:
Endorse Joe Tom1inson for marshal.
His appointment. would do more to-
ward getting the Fifth district together
than anything else
Mackey smiled, got a telegraph blank
and wrote this reply to Clark:
TOO late. I guess I will take it my
self. Joe endorsed me before I could
get to him."

WISDOM OF RIGHT.
from the Denver Post. ]


President Mitchell of the United Mine
Workers union has again demonstrated
the superiority of his judgment by the
position which he has taken in oppOSf-
ton to sympathetic strike on behalf
OF the anthracite coal miners in Penn
sylvania.
However valuable a sympathetic
strike might be as an aid to the an
thracite miners in their present strug-
gle, it could not fail to result in event
ual disaster to the cause Of organized
labor.
For this there are two reasons:
First-The great damage<that would
be inflicted thereby upon an innocent
public and upon innocent employers
who are in nowise concerned In or re-
sponsible for the Pennsylvania trou-
b1es.
Second-The many breaches of con-
tract which would be neeessitated by
such action.
The sympathetic strike, under any
circumstances, is of very questionable
expediency.
1t is. in fact, impossible to justify it
upon any grounds short of the actual
necessities of self preservation.
last weapon of DEFENSE
To sacrifice friend in order to punish
or conquer an enemy-and that is what
every sympathetic strike involvesAs
an act so entirely 1pugnant to every
principle of right and justice as to be
wholly outlawed in any ordinary erner-
gency of life
To deliberately work great and far
10 lie
thing to be eountenanced only under
equally dire distress.
To wantonly disregard public rights
is to become public enemy, and as
such organized labor may never hope
to sustain itself.
So far as Individual union contracts
and agreements are concerned. the Ia
Dor interests of the country must either
abandon them altogether or surrender
the privilege Of sympathetic strikes.
An agreement is not Worth the breath
to make it where there Is not the con-
seientious intention to keep it inviolate.
A contract Is no contract at all when
it may be broken at will by either
party.
There is, then, but one alternative.
Even were there no consideration of
right VI WTOIf6, Tie 1dUOItiiS IildL C<Li
much better afford to abandon the sym
pathetic strike than to lose the ad-
vantage of contracts and agreements
with his employers
A sympathetic strike always and ire
vitality tends to promote discord,
strengthen animesities and destroy con-
fidence.
A contract or an agreement, when
faithfully observed, as surely operates
in exactly the opposite direction.
Organized labor interests of the coun-
try will be wise indeed il they give fuH
heed to the sound and practical advice
OF President Mitchell.
| 1T is founded upon wisdom and justice
| and sound business principles.
| 1t is the outg4owth of both logic and
| experience.
| Only the most monumental folly car
! ignore it. -

The general business situation, says
Henry Clews' Financial Review, con-
tinues eminently satisfactory There are
no signs of serious reaction, and, on the
contrary, there are increasing fndica-
tfons that we are to have good fall
trade The best element of confidence
is the crop situation. Corn is making
splendid progress, and everything now
points to a bumper crop of $500, 000. 600
bushels. There will also probably be
ample crops of wheat and cotton. The
Importance of this to the farmers, the
cattle raisers and the railroads cannot
be overestimated. If expectations are
realized we shall not only have good
business results from the west but rail-
road returns may be expected to make
much better reports than they did last
year when they suffered from the corr
damage.
