troubles for the protection of the peo-
pie has been established, and that it
is certain to be followed in future
when such interference becomes neces-
sary.
There may come times when inter
ference will not be acceptable to the
labor unions. 1t is a question if the
Presidents interference in the case of
Assistant Foreman Miller. of the gov
eminent printing office, is acceptable.
Miller had been expelled from the
Bookbinders Union and the Public
Printer discharged him because the
union expelled him. Miller appealed to
the Civil Service Commission and the
President, and the result was that
he was reinstated. Now the Bookbind-
ers' Union is in doubt as to the course
it will pursue. 1t is making every pos
sible effort to have Miller removed.
Its rules say that its members can
not work with or under a person who
has been expelled from it. Therefore
il would seem as if either the union
would have to strike, the unions rules
be changed or Miller would have to get
out of the Government Printing Of
fee. 1t is clear that Miller isn't going
to get out unless he has to, and just
now he seems to be firmly fixed in his
position.
OF course the President cannot dis
charge him just because he is OBJ
noxious to the union whose members
occupy about all of the places in the
Government Printing Office. If he were
to do that he would in effect violate
the laws which he has sworn to up
hold. But if Miller remains the effect
will be to make the Government Print
ing Office an open office-an office in
which non-union men will have just as
good a chance for employment as union
men. Not only that, but the unions
will lose the ground they have gained
in other departments of the govern
ment. Therefore it becomes matter
of the highest Importance that Miller
shall be put out of the Government
Printing Office.
The Presidents action in interfering
in the coal strike has been variously
commented upon. 1t is admitted that
there was an ugly condition of affairs
in the anthracite coal region and that
the Presidents action checked the
trouble, but the point is made that
the principe Of Interference having
been established conditions may arise
when Interference may result in more
harm than good. Interference in the
Miller case was nothing more than
unfolding the law. Interference in the
coal strike was an altogether different
matter. AS to it's wisdom time alone
can determine.

Wilder, the HumOrist.

During his long career as lecturer,
professional humorist and vaudeville
entertainer, says the Chicago Chron-
icle. Marshall P. Wilder probably has
amused as many people as any man
now living. During all these years
he has met with many odd experiences
in out-of-t he-way places. For several
years he was engaged regularly as a
visitor at various aSylumS and hos
pitfalls, where he spread good cheer
throughout the wards. He never can
forget, he declares, a visit he once
made to a Kelley institute. He made
a tour of inspection of this institute,
taking note of various interesting
thir~ 8. He observed that some of the
pat IS were still highly delirious
and shouting in a manner to strike
terror to the ordinary mortal's heart.
One of the victims roared suddenly
that his room was full of snakes. He
was wild in his fear of reptiles. Sud-
denly he changed his mood and de-
clared that there was a woman in his
room, then relaxed into silence.
"She must have been a snake charm
err" murmured Mr. Wilder as he moved
on to the next room.
After his performance at a New York
vaudeville theatef Wilder was ap-
preached by one of those laundering
old fellows who mean well but in
variably make bad breaks. Attempt
ing to compliment the humorist, the
laundering old party said: "Oh, Mr..
Wilder, there was one very good thing
among those stories you told tonight"
Him." replied Wilder. well, sup
pose that was better than missing the
point of all of Them
Here is a story Wilder tells about
an ancient Hebrew who had retired
from Wall street with competency.
Il am afraid L am not going to live
long" said the Jew to Wilder.
"Psffaw,' replied the humorist, "you
are only so now, and I'll bet you live
to be 1907
mo, no. retorted the old broker
sadly, THE Lord will never take me
at par when he can get me for co."

CURRENT COMMENT.

Chicago Record Herald Rep): Gen.
Miles has disappointed a large number
of people by being in retirement so
long without kicking up row"
Chicago Chronicle Dem): Poverty
has it's compensations. 1t is to be
noted that it is always the wealthy
farmer who is buying gold bricks or
running away with his neighbours wife
or hanging himself or shooting some
body else. The needy agriculturist is
presumably too busy hoeing corn to
get into such scrapes."
Philadelphia Record (Dem.): Col.
Bryan has done his best for Senator
Germans candidacy. He has decorat-
ed him with the halo Of his displeas-
ure."
