NOW NINE COAL

When announcement was I.ade the
other morning that J. Pierpcnt Nor
gan had visited the President and had
laid before him propositions having
for its object the termination Of the
coal strike, the general conclusion was
chat the strike was ended. There was
reason for this optimistic view in that
Mitchell had made virtually the same
proposition at the recent conference
with the President At that tine the
operators refused arbitration while
Mitchell appeared willing to concede
every point in order TO secure that
one concession
Now that the operators have yielded
to the demand which grows out Of
public necessity, and have taken a
step that after all OF their declarations
must have been repugnant to them,
there is gonaral expectation that tine
miners will meet them half way. The
public is likely to say: "A fig for bcth
your housesl" and become more in
sistent in their demand for coal We
want no hair-splitung distinctions
now; the public necessity is TOO great.
It would be a crime even to delay the
settlement Of the matter by haggling
over minor details. The demands made
by Mitchell have been substantially
met. and the tender of the operators
should be frankly accepted.
I Objection is made that the Presi-
dent is limited TO CERTAIN CLASSES in Sc
lecting the arbitrator This looks
like a pretext 1t would probably have
been more complimentary to the Presi-
dent had there been no restrictions i'm
posed. but he has not objected, since
he has cared mors about ending tne
) strike than for an iusistence upon ao-
solute courtesy 70 him. Out Of all OF

imperialism

From the Memphis Commercial Appeal
Imperialism never really existed II
was a nebulcus figure, the creature OF
excited imaginatiOns. 1t was spirit
called up from the vastly deep, impalpa-
bic, fugacious, and which eluded mus
cular grasp. Like the nephelococcygia
OF Aristophanes, it was designed to
frighten the timorcus and it was made
TO appear in its most fearsome guise
by the master conjurers and thauma-
turgists of the land, in Mains; but the
result of the late election shows that
the people looked upon it as an insIo-
stantial wrath. amirage that lures only
to bewilder tho simpleminded. What
ever we may think OF the Philippines
and whether it is right or wrong, wise
or unwise for us to annex and OWL
them. the question is settlsd and should
be eliminated from politics.

The Habit of Bathing
the Tacoma Ledger.

From the Tacoma Ledger.
Americans are much given to the
habit of bathing, and the general opin-
ion is that It is good for them. They
are bound to have bath at stated
times or demand the reason why. This
is true even Of the American soldier
who might be supposed to get careless
about it, but he will bathe if there IS
water to be had and protest loudly at
its absence. Many OF the foreigners
OF the lower classes who come TO TINS
country develop into good citizenship,
and one OF the earliest symptoms on
their change for the better is their ac-
ouired liking for towels and soap. IL
Is notorious that some of the Russian
smigrants and others from countries
bordering on Russian territory do not
AT first comprehend the necessity or tae
iov az bathing. The child Of such q
family was sent home from school TO DC
washed. and the mother explained tha'
lthis could not be done, as the youns-
eter chad been sewed up for the winter.
Nothinc of this sort would be possible
In AM American family or one that hat
been in this well-washed region long.

Clean Newspapers Prospering
ON tho Youthls Companlon.

From the Youths Companion.
There are encouraging indications of
a revival OF clean journalism. 1t is not
coming through the establishment OF
endowed newspapers" Few practical
newspaper men believe in that agency
for the reform OF dep,Orable newspaper
tendencies. The very fact that a news
paper was endowed would 50 far detach
II from ordinary conditions of pubh-
cation as TO make it useless as an ex-
ample. Moreover, the existence of such
a newspaper would imply a confession
that a really clean and moral journal
was Improbable; else why the endow-
ment
IL is not philanthropy that is wanted
so much as business sagacity and a
good newspaper sense joined with a
high purpose Al Newspaper is not a
moral tract, and cannot be displaced
by tracts. Al man who should spend
millions in endowing newspapers that
were too good to stand alone would not
be nearly 50 great a benefactor as the
man who demonstrated that a clean
newspaper can be made to pay.

ELEcr TINE rICKET

At the head Of our columns is the
ticket. complete with the exception Of
the minor offices 1t is the ticket
which we ask all Republicans 20 sup
port II there is a candidate that any
voter deems Objectionable Tor suffi-
cient reasons, don't vote for him. No
man is to put aside his Judgment and
his conscience when he goes 20 the
ballot box. But II this 0eket as a
whole meets with the requirements q
party principle and party traditions,
and we believe it does. the only thins
left is TO so and vote it.
Taken as a whole We say with all
frankness, that it is a good ticket. Al
the head stands the name OF Dr. Ball
who has earned a recollection IL any
corg1essman from Delaware has eve
earned one and who is opposed b!
those calling themselves Republicans
out OF sheer envy and malice. MI
Burris and Mr.. Norman will be sup
ported by Republicans OF all complex
IONS. which is right and proper.
The county Ticket as a whole is al
exceptionally good enc, and rs Addick
has withdrawn his opposition to Gel
tain OF the candidates. there is scared
a doubt Of their election. 1t Is a tick
worth fighting for. and We feel q
hesitancy in saying vote for it.
The legislative ticket. now that ce
tain frauds have been sifted, stands
the selection OF the voters Ct the T
epcctive districts. II represents the
wish. and. therefore, it should be sc
orally supported. Most of the gent
men composing It are well-known
their respective communitiez, and ey
though they may not be the choice

Playing Tramp


From the New York Sun.
An Iowa clergyman Of the good Latin
name of Mecum and on sociology bent
determined to feel the charitable pulse
of his flock. He grew a lcng beard
during his vacation, and when he came
back he put on his shabbiest clothes
and most shocking hat. So acccutred,
ne called on some of his best friends
and asked for something to eat All he
got was the cold shoulder. Served him
right. His parishioners are under no
obligations to feed wandering sons Of
leisure. He that will not work, neither
shall he eat And he was a rank i'm

Ministry not peterioratina.

Apropos of a statement made by the
Rev. j. Wilbur Chapman, of New York,
before the National Bible conference in
Indiana recently that the ministry is
deteriorating the Kansas City Journal
says: .Veneration for preachers Is not
so widespread and deep-rooted as 1t
was a few generations ago. The no.
ton that the shepherd and sheep are
made of different kinds of soil has
passed away. But it has been gener-
ally supposed that the changed attitude
was caused by an increasing tendency
of the laity to look less at the office
and more at the man who holds 1T. Mr..
Chapman. however, takes different
view. The ministry, he is sure, has
been growing less entitled to respect
and confidence.
MIR. Chapman, being minister and
director of conference of ministers,
should speak advisedly. Nevertheless,
there are a good many people who will
take the liberty to differ with him. The
evidence, instead of paving that the
ministry is deteriorating. seems to
prove the exact opposite. Some con-
temporary preachers may not possess
that peculiar form of conservation
which caused their predecessors to be
about constantly wearing long-talled
black coats and almost equally lengthy
faces. Many have been SO impious as
to discard the white tie. The zeal
which manifests itself in whackings of
the pulpit and denunciations of rival
preachers and denominations, longer
and more terrible than those hurled at
sin and Satan. is going more out of
fashion. But in intelligence, in true
conservation, in influence and in use
fulness, the ministers of today will
compare very favorably with those of
any preceding generation
