THE commissioners appointed by
President Roosevelt to settle and ad-
just, the trouble existing between the
miners and operators is composed of
the following persons: Brig. Gen.
John M. Wilson; Edward Wheeler
Parker, statistician of the United
States geological survey; Judge
George Gray, who was a member of
the Paris peace commission; E.. E.
Clark of: Cedar Rapids, Iowa, grand
chief of the order of railway conduc-
tors, and a sociologist, and one who
has studied deeply on social questions;
Thos. H. Watkins, of Scranton, Pa, a
man who is practically acquainted
with mining and selling of coal;
Bishop John L. Spalding of Peoria,
Ills, and Corral D. Wright, U. S.
labor commissioner. The commission
is made up of men who represent all
sides of the difficult question and who
are capable of studying the matter in
all it's phases. The miners have all
been put back to work and the troops
have been Withdrawn from the scenes
of the strike troubles. The operators
found there was nothing left for them
to do but accept the tender made in
such good faith by the president.
President Mitchell in letter to Pres
ident Roosevelt after being notified of
the appointment of the commission
took occasion to administer hot roast
to the operators who refused outsiders
to NEEDLE with their business and who
said that they had nothing to arbi-
trate.- The strike, was the worst in
the annals of labor and it is to be
hoped that it will bear good fruit.
President Roosevelt's carpet confer
ence will go down in history as one of
the most unique and effective Of mod
ern times. He is truly Of the people,
by the people and for the people.

the statement is made that the Sc
lection of such a commission has
been proposed to the president and
has been under consideration by
him. He has not been able to take
any action. however, owing to the
fact that Judge Taft has been kept
exceedingly busy and has had little
time to talk over this matter with
the president. When they do have
time for a talk something definite
may be determined upon by the pres
ident. The friars hold many thou
sand acres of the best lands in the
Philippines, and this fact is recog-
nized as a notable source of disturb
ance in the islands. 1t is generally
conceded that such of the lands as
are already the property of the
mOnastic orders should be pur-
chased after negotiations, but the
necessity and the wisdom of send
ing a commission to Rome for this
purpose are seriously questioned and
vigorously disputed.
Secretary Root is also authority
for the statement that no commits
sion or any similar body has been
appointed by the president or any
of his Representatives for the pur-
pose Of negotiating with the pope at
Ro- with anybody else for the
PUr. Of the friars' land in the
Prl.Pplnes. He says that congress
has been asked to provide for the
purchase OF these lands, and that
whatever action is taken viii be
based entirely upon legislative au-
thCrity. If congress makes the de-
sired provision the lands will be pur-
chased from the owners by the rep
resentatives of the Philippine gov
ernment. The policy of the admin
istratiOn in this matter is embodied
in the bill introduced by Represen-
tative Cooper, one section of which
provides for the issue of bonds by
the Philippine government for the
requirement of the land of the friars
in that country. That bill is now
pending in congress and nothing
Will be done in the matter until that
body has declared its purpose re-
Specting these lands.

leaders and politicians are COM
pIete failures. He, however, sug-
gestsd nothing new for an amend
ment, but gives in short his views
as to the tre tment the negro Is

at the hands of white Republicans.
Juss whether or not Editor Chase
has just awakened from a restless
nights slum mber, we are unable to
say, however, judging from the
tenor of his leading editorial las
week, and since, both are failures.
He will. doubtless, get out of poll
