THE PRESIDENT AND THE STRIKE.

The President is entitled to the. credit
for bringing the coal strike to an end.
The fact will be recognized that ne has
rendered the country a conspicuous
service outside of the limits of his au-
thority. The coal operators had de-
termined they would not agree TO an
arbitration. They said from the be-
ginning that there was nothing to ar
bitrate. The miners insisted that they
had grievances and that they would
not return TO work until attention was
given to them. The price of hard coal
had advanced in New York to SIS a
ton for small quantities, and the poor
were unable to purchase it. Indeed, the
scarcity Of coal had become so great
that the shutting down of factories,
bakeries, gas plants, water works, and,
in fact, all sorts of industries, was Sc
riously contemplated.
The country was threatened with a
great calamity 1t looked as if there
might be a struggle between capital
and labor all along the line, as it were.
Besides, there was a prospect that
with factories closing the poor would
be without bread as well as without
fuel and, that too. on the edge of win
ter.
The President had reason to be UNI
easy. Thinking men in all parts Of
the country viewed the situation with
alarm. Even the newspapers of Eu-
rope were saying that the Republic
was approaching a condition that
would test it's strength.
The President was criticised for in
terfering in the strike not only by the
coal operators, but also by men of in
fuence and prominence outside of the
coal interests. 1t was said that he
had lowered the dignity of his office by
stepping outside of the sphere of his
authority-by giving the coal barons a
chance to lecture him, to tell him that
IT was his duty to see to it that the
law was respected.
Those who know the inside of his in
terview with the coal barons and the
representatives of the miners say that
he submitted to the disrespectful con-
duct of the coal barons because he
resentment would have deprived him
of an opportunity to gain the end he
aimed at
Nothing that he did in the matter
indicated that his sympathies were
with one side or the other His pur-
pose was not to gain point for the
coal barons or for the miners, but to
bring to an end as quickly as possible,
condition of affairs that might cas-
lily assume proportions that would
mean far more than a simple differ
ence between capital and labor in the
anthracite coal region of Pennsylvania.
That he held the scales of justice even
iy is apparent from the fact that both
the operators and the miners are sat
isfied with the commission he has APP
pointed.
The ending of the strike brings a.
feeling of relief to- the whole country.
If the Presidents efforts had failed he
would have been severely condemned
for interfering in the strike. His efforts
having succeeded his act will be very
generally approved.

Senator TiIlman will observe, no
doubt with regret, that the coal strike
has been settled, and without the me-
cessity of hanging a single one of the
coal barons

1t is now in order for the yellow"
journals to engage in a big squabble

settled the coal strike.

1T is worth while watching the de-
velopments in Savannah" says the
Charleston News and Courier; they
have a faculty of doing things over
there that excites our admiration"
That is the Savannah spirit, to do
things" 1t is fairly strong at pres
ent and has resulted in a number of
important things being done. But We
hope to see it still stronger and still
more fruitful. The city fully warrants
this spirit and will ito do It's pres
ent is prosperous and it's future we'll
based. It's destiny is to rank with
the great cities of the coun-
try. With pluck and perseverance
we can work out that destiny before
many years shall have elapsed.
A negro is running for Congress in
the Terre Haute district of Indiana;
not, however, on a Republican ticket
He wanted the Republican nomination,
but couldn't get it. so he is in the field
as Socialist. When the ballots are
counted he may possibly be mentioned
among those who 'also ran" The In
