Free Labor.

From the Chicago Chronical (Dem)
The most important issue before
the American people ait this time is
not the trusts, nor the relations Of the
races. nor even the situation i'm Asia
relative TO the open door. 1t is the
question of order or disorder-of free
labor or labor that is not free Shall
free men have the right to work, the
right to live. In land ostensibly dedi-
Gated to freedom?
That this right is denied. not in
places nor by few. but everywhere and
by great numbers, is shown by the
news columns of every newspaper that
Is printed. In support of this denial
there is an organized conspiracy ex-
tending from one shore of the republic
to the other. Sympathizing with this
and aiding 1t whenever pos
sible are many politicians and office
holders and not n few newspapers

A VERY SERIOUS QUESTION

One OF the most important questions
that ever confronted Wilmington peo-
pie is whether our greatest Industrial
plant the Harlan and Hollingsworth
Company. shall be closed temporarily
or permanently. Unfortunately the
decision is not in the hands Of our peo-
pie but rests with those who will not
weigh sentiments Of local pride and
local needs. Here Is a plant that has
employed as many as 1000 workmen
at one Time and which has annually
dispc ned millions of dollars in this
city, tiat may be closed, and possibly
not reopened.
The Board Of Trade has called a
meeting TO consider the matter which
shows that our business men realize
the gravity of the case. In this in
stance the baleful influence OF the trust
has become apparent, for even under
a reorganization there would be no
assurance that the local works would
continue TO be operated. 1t looks now,
that whether the plant shall be closed,
temporarily, or continue i'm operation,
ultimately 1t will be sold. In that
event we trust that an effort Will be
made TO purchase II with Wilmington
capital and TO conduct IL under VIII
mington management.

OPEN PORTS.

Russia has sgnifed her willingness
to open certain ports in Manchuria
to the nations OF the world. and this Is
peculiarly gratifying to Americans
since the decision Is due to the diplo-
macy of Mr.. Hay Whether this means
that Russia intends to withdraw her
troops from the Chinese province is
not yet known. but from past expe-
ricnce we judge that she has no
thought OF doing SO. This is doubt
less a SOP that is thrown out TO satisfy
the European nations which are show
ing great dissatisfaction at her tena-
c.ous hold.
In laying down the open door policy
America has been very fortunate, since
that has antagonized the policy of no
European country. We have not asked
for exclusive privileges, but ours has
been a demand for fair play which
would let our neighbors In on the same
basis as ourselves. 1t matters not to
us whether Russia or England shall
dominate the far East but we are con-
cerned that there shall be an equality
in trade. and hence our demand for
open ports.

EDITORIAL OPINION
A sobriety Society.
rom the New orIeans PIeayune.

From the New Orleans Picayune
There Is in operation in this city a
unique and most interesting institu-
tion for the promotion OF temperance
and sobriety. II originated here in
1869. and has not only nourished. but
has put forth its branches in many
other localities. 1t is the order of the
knights Of Temperance. Its princi-
pies, which are I'm many respects en-
tirely different from those Of any other
temperance order, are as follows:
II does not pledge It's members to
abstain from Intoxicating liquors for
life nor for any fixed period of time.
II prohibits the use, by its members, Of
intoxicating liquors as a beverage only
so long as they remain connected with
the order IL leaves the consideration
of the right TO manufacture, purchase
or sell Intoxicating liquors with the
conscience OF the Individual member
While it breaches and practices tenn
perance, il does not attempt to make
persons temperate by force, but by
moral suasion only. 1t assists it's
members in securing employment,
lakes care OF its sick, and buries its
dead. one of its advantages is that 1t
keeps no oppressive obligation hang
ing over the head Of an individual He
Is not bound for any specified time; he
can quit whenever he may choose. II
is wonderful what an effect this COM
plete liberty has on men. Many
time members have said. Il will re-
sign next week" but when the time
comes he postpones for another week.
and so they go on for years. know
ing they can quit at any time. 1t has
made an excellent record I'm this city.
and is heartily commended to all who
want to stop the drink habit and still
possess some will and conscience.

by a European Country

Cambridge, Mass, March 23.-Har-
ward met and defeated Yale at joint de-
bate in Sanders theater tonight, hav-
ing the affirmative of the question: Re
solved, That the United States should
permit European government to seize
and hold permanently territory of the
debtor state not exceeding in value the
amount of the award"
This question was applied to South
America, and six conditions governing
it were pre-supposed, so that arguments
were based on the understanding that
payment Of debt according to arbitra-
tion at The Hague had been defaulted.
The judges decision was unanimous.
The debate was exceptionally interest
ing, and, to the listeners. apparently
very close. According to the judges,
Harvard had the better form and ex-
celled in logical development of its case
Harvard maintained that there was no
alternative way of collecting the debt,
the situation having resolved itself into
question of abiding or not abiding by
the award by legal seizure of territory.
Harvard claimed that by abiding by
the award the principle of arbitration
was supported, and contended that the
best interests of the world at large
were of more advantage than the sell
fish interests of the United States. The
Monroe doctrine, Harvard said. should
not be made to cover wrong-doings py
South American states, and it was as
serted that such an attitude would
teach these states the responsibilities
which should belong to solvent state
and make for international morality.
Yale on the other hand, affirmed that
there were other ways of satisfying
legal debt than by the seizure of land.
Great emphasis was placed by Yale up
on the Monroe doctrine, and the pro-
posal of the affirmative was declared
to be the entering wedge for its break
down, which would cause the UNITED
States to become entangled in Euro
pean political squabbles. Yale main-
tanned that South American states
should be protected from oppression.
The foothold of the European powers
in South America under the non-inter-
vention of the United States would be
a menace to this country. To sum up,
the negative claimed that 1t did not
favor the non-payment of legal debt
under the award of The Hague tri-
bunal, but rested it's case on the dan
gers to the United States by closer
proximity of European powers under
| the weakened enforcement of the Mon
roe doctrine.
| The speakers for Harvard in order
| were: F. B. Wagner, I, Grossn1an and
r. L. Lyman, their arguments being
interspersed by Robert H. Ewell, Allan
| Fox and Charles D. Lockwood for Yale.
In the rebuttal the order was Fox, Ly-
man, Lockwood. Wagner, Ewell and
Grossman. The judges were President
Pritchett of the Massachusetts Institute
of Technology, Provost c. Harrison of
University of Pennsylvania, and Judge
Brown of Providence.
After the debate both teams were en-
tertained at dinner in the assembly
hall of the Harvard Union.

Work

w Oftg.
The movement In this city to form q
permanent voluntary arbitration board,
representing capital and labor, to which
may be referred for settlement disputes
which cannot be settled by the parties
in interest, made further advancement
last night. The committee met again

tions of the plan for organization. IT

consist of seven members. The labor
men of the committee favored six as
the number, three representing capital
and three labor. Finally 1t was agreed
to have the seventh member selected by
the Chief Justice Of Connecticut. The
meeting then adjourned. Each menl-
ber will now report to his respective or
ganization what was done.
