AN/ declared intention OF
l. some of our fellow-cltl-
zens up the valley to call
a public mass meeting to protest
against the presence of soldiers in the
county. We think that If they shall
reflect they will eventually agree with
us that such meeting would do little
endeavor to point out.
The soldiers are here and in all prob
ability they will remain so long as there
seems to be any need of their presence.
public mass meeting to protest
against something already accomplished
would effect nothing as far as the
soldiers are concerned. But IL it's effect
should be to cause ignorant and lawless
persons to believe. of course mistakenly,
that the public sympathy of Olyphant,
for example, was with lawlessness; and
If, acting on this delusion, some of them
and get punished or. possibly. killed,
then surely the organizers Of the meet
ing would not feel pleased.
In disturbed condition of public
feeling and prejudice such as exists to-
day the fewer public meetings held the
less chance there will be of untoward
occurrence. The time to have. held
meetings of protest was when the seeds
of violence We're being implanted in
the community. Now that those seeds
have begun to bear fruit the time for
protest gives way unavoidably to the
time for the harvest

The proclamation of District Presi-
dent Nichols calling on United Mine
Workers and their sympathizers to
treat the militia with respect Is a
sensible and timely document. which
ought to have tranquilizing influence
up and down the valley. Just why
there should have been at this time an
apparently concerted outbreak of law
1essness and disorder throughout the
Iackawanna and Wyoming regions is
one Of the mysteries of situation full
of strange facts and factors; but what
ever the cause. there can be no getting
away from the truth that the one
chance of success which the strikers
have lies in their ability to suppress
the lawlessness done in their name and
to carry clean hands before the court of
public opinion.

ings of body of experts OF such high
character and ability that they could
be trusted to deal with the subject
purely from the standpoint Of our busl-
ness and Industrial needs; but. of
course, congress would have to deter
mine for itself the exact method to be
followed. The executive has at its COM
mand the means for gathering most Of
the necessary data and can act when
ever 1t is the desire of congress that
he should act. That we have the ma
chinery for carrying out the policy
above outlined I feel certain, II only
our people will make up their minds
that the health of the community will
be subserved by treating the whole
question primarily from the standpoint
Of the business interests of the entire
country, rather than from the stand
point of the fanced interests Of any
group of politicians.
"Of course, in making any changes,
we should have to proceed in accord
principles, and the most important Of
these is an avowed determination to
protect the interests of the American
producer, be he business man, wage
worker or farmer. The one consider
alton which must never be omitted in
tariff change Is the imperative need
of preserving the American standard of
living for the American workingman.
The tariff rate must never fall below
that which will protect the American
worklngman by allowing for the differ
ence between the general labor cost
here and abroad, so as at least to equal
ize the conditions arising from the diff
ference in the standards of labor here
and abroad-a difference which 1t
should be our aim to foster, insofar as
1t represents the needs of better edu-
Gated, better paid, better fed and better
clothed wOrkingmen of higher class
than any to be found in a foreign
country. At all hazards and no matter
what else is sought for or accomplished
by changes of the tariff, the American
wOrkingman must be protected in his
standard of wages, that is, in his
standard of living, and must be secured
fullest opportunity Of employment"

But still YOU throw
To Stella, passing there below,
glance too lingering and sweet;
And still you greet
Fair Ida, with that tender smile
Yet all the while
Forgive" you pray; forgive"
IL love" you cry; Il love but you!'
And yet you bend
Ger Roses hand. and will not end
From whispering to Isabel
Quick words, that tell
In her bright eye and glowing cheek;
Then me you seek.
To cry, II love but you.'
Go to. poor trifier! You must know
That he who sips
Too freely from all pretty lips
And finds in every lovely eye
Cause for sigh,
Dwells but moment in the thought
And then-is naught
And yeti do not know!

t1IiIf- lnere mas Deen much
NV criticism of the action of
the governor in desig-
mating the Thirteenth
regiment for service in it's home COM
munity, 1t is not wise to dwell upon
this now. When man enlists in the
Guard he agrees to do what is asked of
him, and though it would have been
considerate of the commander in chic {
to have sent the Thirteenth among
strangers 1t is not best for it's mem-
bers ortheir friends to complain.
Among the intelligent people of our
county the feeling toward the soldiers
will be one of appreciation of their
loyalty to duty and sacrifice of time
and, in many instances, money in serv-
Ing the state at the expense of private
interests. Nor can there be just ground
for any feeling of resentment, for the
soldiers are not taking sides for or
against the miners, but simply helping
the civil authorities to maintain peace
and enforce the law. Unless a resident
of liackawanna county Is lawbreaker
or is IN sympathy with lawbreaking. he
not only has no reason to feel resent
ment ut the presence of the soldiers but
ne shbhld. on the other hand, feel deep
ly grateful that there exists body of
men ayailable for the protection of the
public peace in times when the local
authorities are unable to maintain 1t.
The soldier, like the policeman, is not
likelys5o bother anybody who behaves
himself. You do not feel resentment for
the bluecoat as he passes along his
beat. Why? Because you know that
he is doing work which benefits you,
which protects your property and even
increases the security of your life. The
soldier is exactly on a level with the
policeman; he Is policeman on
larger scale. While the policeman works
for the city the soldier works for the
state--that is the only difference. Each

~HE SLY ATTEMPT of the trust
interests, working through
IL Senator Platt, to load down
Governor Odel with a run
ming mate who could cause him to lose
the state this fall. thus paving the way
to formidable fight on Roosevelt two
years hence, has been defeated, as has
every other machination of the same
influence aimed at the same end. Dur
Ing the preliminary moves in this game
of countermining, Governor Odell kept
silent and gave no sign. 1t was given
out that he was in full accord with the
Platt programme, but he neither denied
nor confirmed this.
But when the conference was called
a few weeks ago to decide whether
Roosevelt should be sandbagged in the
house of his friends, the fact soon be-
came evident to Platt and his follow
ers that Odel, if silent, had not been
idle. And again, when the Platt lieu-
tenants, working under orders. went to
Saratoga and started in to force the
nomination of Sheldon for lieutenant
governor they had things their own way
until on the eve of the convention, when
Ben Odell slipped quietly into the game
and in little while Sheldon was out
side the breastworks.
The fact is that between, Odell and
Roosevelt perfect understanding ex-
lists. 1t is not for nothing that Roose-
Welt got his friend Stranahan in the
New York collectorship and that re-
sourcefu old veteran, Jim" Clarkson,
