" TWO GREAT PRESIDENTS"

NO GREA! rRESlOENlS.
Speaker Henderson is a man of parts
and a good judge OF men, we suppose.
At any rate he does not hesitate to ex-
press his opinion OF them when the men
and the occasion and Mr.. Henderson all
happen to meet, They all met the other
day at the temporary White House in
Washington.
AS Mr. John Michel. the president Of
the United Mine Workers Association
was ushered into the building at one
door the Speaker Of the House of Repre-
sentatires was stepping lightly in at an.
other Mr.. Mitchell was on hand to
States about the proposed plan to settle
the coal strike. What .le Speaker went
there for doth not yet appear. but the
fact is that he did not tarry long. HOW
ever, it is related that just as Secretary
CortelSou was introducing Mr.. Mitchell
to the Speaker. Mr.. Roosevelt walked
in the room and it was very natural
that the Speaker should shake hands
with both at once. This he did and
while doing so remarked: II am now
grasping the hands of two great presi-
dents Mr. Mitchell blushed and Mr..
Roosevelt smiled The Speaker then left
the temporary White House. remarking
that he was in Washington for only q
few hours and had made only a pop call.
II would seem, therefore. that the Speak
cr.s only business at the temporary
White House on this occasion was to dis
cover two great presidents and after
lie had performed this important duty
il was but proper that he should leave
them TO settle the great striAe.
To the reporters eager inquiries, put
to hin, later the Speaker made no reply
by way Of enlightment the world as to
which of the twain is the greater presi-
dent. We join the general public in re-
GREETING that the Speaker failed ut this
juncture.

.-Noliolh E NlrElnlan-Piiot: Richmond is
pu'iing off horse SHOW, but as a first
ciass attraction it doesn't touch the late
mayoralty campaign.
Newport News Press (all of one date,.
The Live Wire" is again working on
the political circuit at Richmond joltinS
an otiicer-holder here and there. The
fact that Mccarthy can draw crowd
Whenever ne speaks is proof sufficient
that with all his volts they love him when
he is not still.
Horse Show and we are genuinely proud
of the capital city for having a horse
show. but we do wish the Richmond pa
pcrs wouldn't try to be SO metropolitan
about it.
Richmond society just at this time
evsnces an inclination to accept the horse
as the king of beasts-to lionize him, as
it were.
Beauty and the beast seem to be about
evenly dividing attention at the Rich
mond Horse Show.
The horse has taken Richmond by
storn?-an equine-octial storm.
At any rate Richmond's Live Wire
appears to find no difficulty in evadins
the opportunities of the poll tax collector
long enough to turn his eight-inch cannon
and his graphing hooks on Honest Dick
now and then.
Petersburg IndeX-Appeal: Some of the
ministers of Richmond would rather have
reform fail than introduce politics in their
pulpits. The question occurs what are
pulpits for? Politics will not hurt the
pulpits and the pulpits may greatly help
to Improve politics. Reform work in the
pulpit is not case of doing evil that
good may come of it.

THE OPERATORS AND THE UNION.
In an article on the settlement OF the
coal strike the New York Evening Post

In an article on the settlement OF the
coal strike the New York Evening Post
says:
No impartial observer. anxious to take
all the facts into his reckoning, can
doubt that the victory of the Mine
Workers Onion portends an extension Of
the principle of collective bargaining in
this country. The coal operators have
practically. offered to ma Ike a three years
contract with the miners-the active
agents of the latter being. of course, their
organization leaders. This will bring.
all coal mining. both bituminous and an
thracite, under agreements between
combination OF owners and a ombina-
ton of workers. It will put one more
body Of union laborers in position like
that long occupied by the Amalgamated
Association Of Iron and Steel Workers,
and by some other labor unions, not so
prominently or extensively. We cannot
doubt. accordingly. that the issue Of this
successful strike will give a great impe-
tns TO the trades union movement in
this country. It remains to be seen
whether that development shall be harm
fi;! to all concerned. Tho character Of
the unions and their leaders will, in the
long run, settle that question
