SUNDRY NOTES.

The Joint committee on temperance
is larger body than usual. But
they have a larger job on hand this
year than for many year past. The
makeup OF the committee includes
variety of sentiment, the harmonic
ing of which will be awaited with
interest. -v ya
There is evidently a movement on
foot in the direction of a single itlslEz
ance commissioner, who shall give
his whole time, or most of it, to the
States interest in that branch of
business, in lieu of having it looked
after as al. present by the Secretary
of State and the Treasurer. The new
Joint standing committee on insur-
ance may be expected to frame a bill
touching this matter.
Speaker Merri6eld fits finely into
his responsible position and will
push the House business along
smoothly and rapidly enough to suit
everybody.

THE PRESIDENTS suuNDER. /

When President Roosevelt SUNNI oned
lives of the strikers to confer with him
I'm regard to the failure of the coal sup-
ply. which has become a matter Of vital
concern to the whole nation Tho Times
said:
Here is another outbreak Of Roosevelt
ism and on general principles we do not
like It. 1t looks too much like govern
nent interference with the private at
fairs of men. and President Roosevelt
thus gives additional proof OF his belief
of the United States to do with dis
pute in the State of Pennsylvania be-
tween the owners OF coal mines and their
operators? IL MIR. Mitchell and the mine
owners should decline the Presidents in
yitation and politely inform him that it
was none OF his business. he could not
blame them"
Fl The mine operators and Mr.. Mitchell
seem to have taken that identical view,
although they were polite enough to
over with him.
The net result Of the conference was to
drive the mine owners and the strikers
farther than ever apart, and to put COM
promise out OF reach.
The President next appealed to A1r.
Mitchell to advise the men to go back
TO work. but this effort to end the strike
was no more successful than the other.
We give Mr.. Roosevelt full credit for
good intentions, but he has made sorry
mess Of it, as he always will do when
ne lntereres IN matters Of this charac-
ter, which are outside the sphere of gov
eminent control.
Tho PRESIDENTS failure is keen dis
appointment to the people who had ex-
pected so much from his efforts. but
there is compensation in the fact that
Mr.. Roosevelt has learned a valuable
lesson.
