THE RIGHT OF WAY.

PRESIDENT and the motorman who came so near

are told that the parting words of the motor
man, as the President turned away. We're:

anyhow The remark was as inSolent as it
was slangy and as brutal it was insolent.
But 1t was typical and Illuminating in a high
degree.
III expressed with exactness if not with ele-
gance the too frequent attitude of the strong
ana swift toward the less strong and less swift
upon our highways. Their rule is simply an
arrogant get out of the way" The trolley car
h'"'orman clangs his gong and expects all other
Vehlcies and pedestrians to get out OF the way.

mucous norm and plUughs furiously along the
ihiodie OF the road, expecting all others to get
out OF the way. The driver OF horses attached
W some cnnhrous vehicle. or the driver Of some
e"Ht trotter acts similarly toward the hap
less pedestrian. Get out of the waym is the
insoieht mandate of the strong to the weak.
AS matter OF fact, that is an unlawful atti-

'he strong. If there be any discrimination be-

s'eahiship must yield right of way to the sailing

tenants at the will of the real owners and it IS
incumbent upon them to respect the rights OF
the owners The Presidents carriage had stl-
perior right of way to that of the trolley car
which ran it down. 1t was not so much in
cumbent upon the driver of the carriage TO get
out of the way. the motorman declared, as
it was upon the motorman Of the car to yield
the right of way to a vehicle no matter whether
IT was the carriage of the President or of the
humbIest private citizen.
That is a fact which is elemental and funda
mental. That it should need restatement and
emphasizing is a circumstance not creditable to
the prevailing sense of law and justice. That
it should he. as it is, so generally ignored and
violated is q circumstance as ominous TO the

IHE SANDUSKY CONTENTION.

Democratic policy in Ohio has suffered an
other sudden and startling reversal. Abrupt
and violent reactions of the sort Just witnessed
at Sandusky have not been altogether unknown
in Buckeye politics. Yet rarely has the wheel
of Democratic hopes and fortunes turned in
twelve months complete a circle. year

TRADES UNION RESPONSIBILITY.

One of the most suggestive passages in Com
missioner Wright's report on the anthracite coal
strike IS his reference to the responsibility or
the labor unions. The operators. he says, feel
that when they are asked TO make a contract
with the unions the latter should put them
selves in a position to be pecuniarily responsible
for the fuflment of 1t. In that he gets very
close to the root of the matter.
There is no question that In this strike, as in
many others. one of the chief points at issue is
recognition Of the unions. The strikers them
selves admit it. Mr. Mitchell himself has prac-
tically declared it. The unions. he says, are
fighting for life. and the failure of the strike
would mean their ruin. He is contendlng for
the principle that the operators shall deal not
with their individual employees but with the or
ganized unions, and that contracts regulating
wages hours and conditions of labor shall be
made not with individual men but with the
unions.
To this demand the reply OF the operators
cited by Mr. Wright, is certainly a strong one
II is 70 the effect that contracts cannot be made
with the unions because the unions are not
morally competent TO make contracts. They are
IRRESPONSIBLE They are not accountable. They
can give no assurance ard no bond that their
contracts will be fulfilled and If they are not
fulfilled no penalty Oh indemnity can be eX-
acted from them. Such bargain would be In
toerabIy onesided. The operators are respon-
sible If they break a contract they can he
sued for damages and the damages can be col
lected The unions are not responsible. If
they break a contract there is no redress. Sure
" it should be obvious to every one that il is
unreasonable and unjust 10 ask a responsible
party to make a contract with an irrespon-
sihle one
Neither we regret 10 say. does the history Of
labor unions afford assurance that their CON
tracts will be fulfilled. On the contrary. there
are conspicuous reasons for not placing i'm
plIcit reliance upon the good faith Of such or
ganizafiOns. The man who IS to-day leading
and managing this anthracite coal strike orEi-
nally came into prominence and gained his au-
thoritative place through his personally per-
suading bullying or otherwise causing working
men TO breaI; formal and solemn contract. In
such circumstances the operators certainly
seem to have reason for refusing TO make con
tracts with the irresponsible unions. If the
latter want recognition they should first acquire
responsibility.

the ratio of Is to /. Yet he urged his followers
IN accent his own assurance and that of the
ecreat Democrat who has in two national cam
'.paigns brilliantly led us against the Republi-
'can party and its allied hosts of non-partisan
MONOPOLY" that the financial question is not
dead-that somehow it may be galvanized into
a good enough" issue for another Presidential
canvass. Altogether, Mayor Johnson, both in the
nlatform he drew and in the speech he made as
+he conventions permanent chairman, seemed
inclined to out-Bryan Bryan, and under his lead
arsri,, the Democratic organization in Ohio must

bound IT, and which showed their greater
strength perhaps in the Kilbourne convention
Of year ago.
What is the meat in the cocoanut of all this
disnlav at Sandusky of loyalty 10 Bryan and
Rr.yanism? The answer is only too easy. We are
told that thousands of lapel buttons were dis
