OFFICE HAS SUFFERED.
But If the operators were immovable, to
whom could he appeal but to the only man
who had any direct relation to the strikers
or influence over them? The Presidents
first ppeal was to both parties-to the OPP
orators who had not discharged the work
men and to the association with which the
operators had refused TO consult. By his
moral force, supplemented by the pressure
of public sentiment with respect to the
honor which should be paid to the man who
is President, he brought the unwilling OPP
orators and the willing representative OF
the striking miners into the same room.
Mr.. Mitchell promptly offered to be one of
two parties to an arbitration. which, how
ever, would have required the operators TO
surrender their original contention.
In that offer he furnished the President
no ground TO think that he would at any
time do anything to leopard his demand
nized. So long as he had the least hope OF
success in the strike he and his district SUI
perintendents would have been as foolish
in their generation as the operators
would. have been in theirs by accepting
from him a proposition for arbitration.
Ii has come TO pass therefore in the eyes
of the world that the operators have re-
fused to accept a proposal from Mitchell
which the President wished them TO ac-
cept, and that Mitchell has refused a di-
rect personal appeal from the President
TO suspend the strike till the necessities
of the people are met. 1t is what was to
be expected.
Some foreign nations who are not well
acquainted with our Constitution will err
roneouSly construe this natural conse-
quence to the detriment of our system of
government. Their analogies drawn from
monarchal government do not fit us in
time of peace, though they might in time
of war. And we are cutie able to endure
their misunderstanding. .
But the loss in any degree of the Presi-
Tents prestige In this country is no small
matter. TIL dignity of the presidential
office has suffered among the very classes
least manageable in troublous times and
most likely to propose reckless schemes.
There is in our possession a passage from
a striker of much force of speech (but not
suited TO our ~columns), In which John
Mitchell is commended for snUbbing the
President when he appealed to him to sus-
pend the strike, and nominating him as
the labor candidate for President. For
placing himself where he could be treated
thus President Roosevelt is not so much
TO be criticised as are those who bounded
him to interfere. The legal power of the
President as such is nothing in the case,
and the moral influence of the person who
is President. eXerted with the purest in
tentiOns, has accomplished nothing except
to encourage the strikers.

tial wash fabrics are appropriate.
The foundation, or fitted lining,

waist line only. and closes at the
centre front, but separately from the
outside; over it are arranged the parts
Of the waist proper which extend below

and back are scanned together at the
shoulders before the deep pleats are
sleeves to give the heightened effect
now so fashionable. These pleats are
double stitched like tucks for some
distance on both front and back, two
extra rows of ornamental stitching be-
ing added at evenly spaced distances.
The tiny breast pocket is finished with
q stitched welt, but may be omitted, If
not desired. The sleeves are in bishop
style, with the new deep cuffs. and the
neck is finished with a regulation stock
that closes in the back.

RAISING VALUES.

What Are the Possibilities of Ears of Iron.
Placed In Hands OF Different Artisans?
Success contains an interesting ar
ticle showing what may be produced
from a number of bars of iron, one each
being placed in the hands of various
mechanics. The writer says, in part:
The man who takes the first bar
may be a rough blacksmith, who has
only partly learned his trade, and has
no ambition to rise above his anvil.
He thinks that the best possible thing
lie can do with his bar is to make it
into horseshoes and congratulates
himself upon his success. He reasons
that the rough lump of iron is worth
only two or three cents pound, and
that it is not worth while to spend
much time or labor on it, His enor-
nous muscles and small skill have
raised the value of the iron from 81.
perhaps, to $40.
Along comes cutler with little
better education, a little more ambi-
ton, a little finer perception, and
says to the blacksmith: rs this all
you can see in that iron? Give me
and skill and hard work can make
of it,"
When his work is done, he shows
the astonished blacksmith $4,000 worth
of knife blades where the latter only
saw $40 worth of crude horseshoes.
The value has been greatly raised by
the refining process.
rl- WIN
cesses are so almost infinitely deli
cate, whose product is so little known,
by even the average educated man,
that his trade is unmentioned by the
makers of dictionaries and encyclope-
dias, takes but fragment of one OF
the bars of steel, and develops its
higher possibilities with such marvel.
lous accuracy, such ethereal fineness
of touch, that even mainsprings and
hairsprings are looked back upon as
coarse, crude, and cheap. When his
work is done, ne shows you few OF
the minutely barbed instruments used
by dentists to draw out the finest
branches of the dental nerves. While
pound of gold, roughly speaking, is
worth about $3.50, a pounI of these
slender, barbed filaments of steel, If
a pound could be collected, might be
worth hundreds of times as much.
Just as each artisan sees in the
crude iron some finished. refined pro-
duct, so must we see in our lives
glorious possibilities, if we would but
realize them. II we see cnly horse
shoes or knife-bades, all our efforts
and struggles will never produce hair

adaptability to great ends; we must
resolve to struggle, to endure trials
and tests, to pay the necessary price,
confident that the result will pay us

The original is made of yelveteen in
a black and white Shepherds plaid;
but flannel corduroy, and all the sea-
sons waist cloths are equally appro-
pirate. AS shown the waist is made
over the fitted foundation. but can be
left unlined when preferred.
The lining is simply fitted and ter
inmates at the waist line. The fronts
and backs of the waist are smooth at
the upper portion, but drawn down in
gathers at the waist line. The box
pleats are applied, stitched at each
edge, and are graduated in width to
give tapering effect to the figure.
The yoke is cut in points, that arc
stitched fat over the pleats, and the
neck is finished with novel collar that
matches it and the cuffs. The sleeves
are in bishop style.
