MITCHELL's SOUND ADVICE
Words That Touch the Heart of the
Trade Union Question.

Mr.. John Mitchell, president of the
United Mine Workers of America, in mis-
address at Wilkesbarre Mitchell day" ut
tered one of the soundest and wisest sen
fences that have been heard in all the
long dispute between labor and capital
II want" he said, the union miners to
prove that they are better workers than
the nonunion men,.
In that he got close to the heart of the
trade union question. He set forth the
one ground upon which organized labor
can hope permanently to succeed What
is wanted is not union labor nor nonunion
labor per Sc but simply the best labor,
the most skillful, the most efficient, The
most trustworthy labor. That is what
employers want and what they are bound
to have and when they find it they will
employ it without regard to its unlonlsm
or nonunionism- The moment union work
ers prove that they are better workers
than nonunion workers they will be en-
poyed to the exclusion of the latter and
there will be no need Of strikes to erect
that end. But not only employers want
the best labor. Industry wants it. The
public welfare requires it. The CONNER
cial and industrial interests of America
demand it. 1t is the veriest truism that
that nation will most succeed in the arts
of civilization and in the industrial COM
petition of the world in which the stan
dard of efficiency among workingmen is
highest.
Those were sound words of Mr.. Mitch
els They deserve to be inscribed upon
the walls of the meeting place of every
labor union in the land. They express
what should be the true mission or one
of the chief missions of the labor union.
to make its members; better workers, more
efficient workers, able to do more work
and better work and. therefore, to earn
greater profits for themselves and their
families and to raise themselves to a
higher standard of achievement and of
life. If the labor unions Will do that
there will not be a voice against them in
all the Iand.-New York Tribune.

TWO WICKEDEST CITIES.
Gen. Booth Says They Are New York
and Chicago.

Chicago, Nov 2S.-"Chicago and New
York are the two wickedest cities in the
world. They swamped in vice and
pleasure, and the churches are powerless
to stem the tide of sin. They are grow
ing worse and worse"
This is the gloomy view expressed by
General William Booth, head of the Sal
walton Army and author of In Darkest
England
Neither Chicago nor New York has
any hypocritical pretensions of being
good he said. "They tolerate vice with
out blushing. The Sabbath, they desc
crate. and little more than one-tenth OF
the people attend the churches a great
wave of an engulfing ocean of pleasure,
recreation, ease and idleness is drowning
out the good and dampening the con-
sciences of men and women. In the full
ness of wealth they are forgetting the
dangers that beset their homes, their
children and themselves.
Vice stalks through the streets. In
both New York and Chicago it's fragrance
is unchecked The young men and young
women of the higher order of society are
growing up in luxury and idlcness.
rs vice centralized in these cities? It
is not, it is widespread. 1t is found in the
sections where the wealthy live and how
ers over nearly the entire area of each
metropolis. Wickedness has spread to
the fashionable sections of the cities, and
once there has not been driven out. In
stead of being combatted it was at first
tolerated, and now it is abetted."

PRICES GO KITING.
Work on New Naval Academy Build
ings Stopped.

Washington, Nov 2S.-In consequence
of the great increase in the cost of
building material and for other reasons,
Secretary Moody today ordered that the
work on the IS 0O0.0 900 contracts for re-
building the Naval academy at Annapo-
lis should be suspended indefinitely.
Captain w B. BrownsOn, the superin-
tendent of the academy, came over from
ANNAPOLIS to Washington this morning
and had long conference with the
secretary on the subject. After the con-
ference the order to suspend work was
issued.
The plans for the reconstruction of the
Naval academy buildings were approved
by congress and $4,000 900 of the $1,000
the work. It has been found necessary
to use part of the money for dredging
and for q new hospital building, which
works were not included in the original
estimates Recently. the cost of ma
terial has advanced about 80 per cent
and it became evident that a continual
ton of the work would eat up the profits
of the contractors or would require an
additional appropriation of about 81
4O0, 900
Secretary Moody. after talking the
situation over with Captain Brownson,
decided that he had no authority to con-
tinue the work with the prospect o. a
big deficit He will make a report on
the subject to congress, which will be
asked to authorize the appropriation of
the additional amount that will be re-
quired if the price of material does not
decrease.

RHEuMATIsM

Rubbing with liniments, blistering, the ap-
plication of plasters in fact anything that
will produce Contamination, is good for
external treatment of Rheumatism, but
these simple remedies do not reach the seat
of the disease nor touch the real cause,
and relief is therefore only temporary.
Rheumatism is due to Uric Acid and
other irritant poisons in the blood, and
as it circulates through the system, these
acid poisons are deposited in the muscles.

Virginia and Speaks to Stu

WASHINGTON, April President Roos-
evelt and party left for Charleston, S. c.,
this afternoon at $50 o'clock. The party
travelled in a special train over the South
ern Railroad. There was a large crowd
at the station. The President was driven
to the Sixth-street entrance, instead of
b street, where most people expected him,
and passed rapidly to the train dozens
of hats were lifted in the air. He was in
an especially cheerful mood. He spent
most of the time before the departure of
the train in chatting and laughing with
Mrs Roosevelt and Commodore Cowles. his
brother-in-law, who wore the full uniform
of his rank in the navy. Secretary Hitch
cock and a number of other government
officials were there to bid the President
goodbye. A large number of secret-serv-
ice men and detectives were spread about
the depot and several accompanied the
President heartily twice. AS the long spe-
cal pulled out of the train shed, exactly
on schedule time, the President with face
suffused with smiles, from the rear plat
form of the train bowed low and repeat
edly in acknowledgment of the cheers and
salutes of the crowd.
Col L. s. Brown, general agent of the
Southern Railway, is with the party, super
vising the trip over the Southern's tracks,
ductor w. NJ. Johnson, who has handled
most of the presidential specials in recent
months. The train will arrive in Charles
