Judge Gray Again an Arbitrator.

: Both Judge Gray and the people of Ala
hama are to he congratulated on his de-
Cision to act as a member OF the commas
sion to arbitrate the coal strike in that
state His presence on the board will add
TO the weight of whatever it's findings
may be.
The Invitation. it was plain enough, was
issued on two considerations more
than influenced President Roosevelt when
he invited Judge Gray last year to perform
a similar service In Pennsylvania While
member of Congress Senator George Gray
had impressed himself on the country
as a man of character and wisdom lie
won the respect of both sides. A good par
tisan. he yet displayed broad views or pup
lie questions, and when toward the close Oh
his political career his party took, as ne
thought. a course prejudicial to the inter-
ests of the country he refused to follow H.
He did not, however. cease TO be a demo-
GRAFT and ne is still democrat.
President Roosevelts confidence was In
the man as he had appeared up to that
time The confidence of the people OF Ala
barna Is In the man as he now appears; and
added to his personal merit Is the thorough
knowledge he possesses OF the coal bust
ness. gathered while assisting in adjusting
the differences between the mine owners
and the miners in the anthracite coal field.
The Alabama board of arbitration therefore
has been reinforced by member of very
high ability and of national reputation. and
who is also an expert. All things consid-
cred 1t Is the best selection that could have
been made.
This sort of service Is of Importance to
the whole country. and Judge Gray adj
vances himself in the public estimation by
performing 1t. Arbitration has never failed
where the issues have been committed in
time to men capable of handling them. The
policy is really popular. The spirit Of fair
play is strong in the American people, and
any man or set of men refusing to submit
a case to arbitration. or to abide by a de-
Cison of arbitrator regularly rendered
after a full hearing, would forfeit both
sympathy and respect. And every appeal
10 arbitration which succeeds Is so much to
the good In the fight for lasting agree
ment between capital and labor whereby
both may benefit. The seats of the arbitra
tors are the seats of the mighty.

Wildwood and Chesapeake Junction.
From the Hyattsyille Nd independent.


Sheriff Hardisty is entitled to and will
receive naught but the highest praise for
his work in connection with the closing OF
the gambling resort at Wildwood. Like
wise he is entitled to and will receive Sc
we're condemnation for his failure to take
any action relative to alleged fragrant viO-
la tions of law at Chesapeake Junction. It
is regarded as somewhat inconsistent on
the part of the sheriff that he Is so per-
sstent in breaking up Wildwood, when
he allows resorts at Chesapeake Junction
to remain open all day Sunday. If appar-
emily reliable reports that come from
Chesapeake Junction are founded in fact,
some of the resorts there are absolutely
a disgrace to decent civilization. One Of
these places Is now being conducted with
out a license 1t is stated. The proprietor
was convicted of selling liquor on Sunday,
and under the law 1t was impossible for
him to secure license in his own name
He obtained the necessary document, how
ever, in the name of another party. The
latter has now withdrawn the license from
the place, and the matter has been re-
ported to the sheriff for his action. Another
proprietor has, 1t Is understood made the
boast that he has all the law officers OF
the county fixed and that he will never
have to pay another hne. The law-abiding
and respectable element Of Prince Georges
county have a right to demand better
things from those charged with the en-
forcement Of the law. While the raid
fashion Is in vogue, let 1t extend to Chesa-
peake Junction.

Happiness and the Presidency.

Il am very happy here" This was the
reply Mr.. Cleveland made several months
ago to. a reportorial inquiry as to whether
he was consentng to the use of his name
In connection with next years presidential
race. The country smiled. and since then
speculation has been buster than ever with
the Cleveland boom. There is probably no
well-informed man between the two seas
who is today in any doubt as to the ex-
Presidents willingness to lead his party
again. lie Is willin' as Mr.. Barkis was.
Judge Parker seems to have adopted the
Cleveland form of expression in replying to
an inquiry to his attitude in the prem
ises He also is very happy in his home
and in his present office. description of
his home shows that he should be happy
there. \ roomy farm house constructed in
the old style and set in a sylvan scene, with
the hudson rolling by on its way to the
ocean. must possess many attractions for
gentleman who loves nature and books and
domestic peace. And yet it is conceivable
that Judge Parker could be induced to
change. for four years at least, the peace
ot ESopus- on the-IIudson for the political
unrest and strenuosity of Westinghouse
the-Potomac. At any rate we may be
very sure that Judge Parker's declaration
Will have no unhappy effect on the Parker
boom. Rather the contrary.
From another source-from some inter-
esting special correspondence in the Balti-
more American-we find that Judge Parker
has declined two high political Offices In
order to remain on the bench. He might
have had the gOvernOrship of New York
at the time that honor went to Roswell p.
Flower and he might have had the United
States senatorship which David b. Hill Sc
cured. but he preferred the duties of
Judge. He is still In love with the law and
considers that life service on the bench
Is within his reach.
But let us not forget that the presidency
of the United States Is not only a much
higher Office than the governorship of New
York a United States senatorship but
1t is the highest office within the gift Of the
American people In our comfortable
American way We consider 1t the highest
office in the world. And it is an easy guess
that If the democratic nomination next
year is at all alluring. and his party desires
the use of his name in the race. Judge

with no great difficulty be overcome

In Rome today the people are reading

The Steel Rail Ace

The proposition Ia once more brought for
ward to bind America and Asia together
with steel rails. The idea is to build line
OF railway from some northwest terminus
to Alaska. tunnel B-ring Strait from Cape
Prince of Wales TO Cape Deshnef, and
thence build southwcSterly about 800
miles. intersecting Russias trans Siberian
line in the valley OF the Amur. The world

New York city. pass through the depths
OF Manhattan Island. under the North
river. across the American continent. under
Boring Strait. over Asia. through eastern
Europe. alight from his car at an under
ground station in Paris. hop into an eleva-
tor and join the boulevard throng. BY that
time a tunnel under the English channel
will have been completed. and the traveller
from New York might go to London or
Edinburgh or to Wick or Thurso without
leaving his seat.
The world Is convinced OF the feasibility,
and has only slight doubt OF the practical
bility of Pan-American railroad. In fact,
the present generation may see the compile

few years ago there were only three
ways of crossing the United States by rail.
One was to start from Council Bluffs or

from St. Paul over the Northern Pacific.

The pressure on the southern part Of
Manhattan Island due to the weight OF
mighty structures has been much talked
and written of during a decade. Conjec-
lures have been made as to how much
pressure would be required to crush through
the earth's crust, accepting of course the
doctrine that the outer part Of the earth
is a shell and the interior molten. It is
perhaps reasonable to assume that never
before in the earth's history has so much
weight been piled on a corresponding area
as has been put upon Manhattan Island in
the downtown section of New York.
And while sky-scrapers of steel, stone and
cement are being multiplied and carried to

When the fates don't treat you fairly:
When you've cause to smile but rarely,
Friends all say it debOnnairely.

Instead Of ditch. the new subway should
be veritable tunnel. built so far below the
surface Of the streets that its construction
will not interfere with trade and travel on
them, with the complicated water and sew
age systems. and with buildingS erected
on the thoroughfares. If that method Of
construction. demonstrably feasible, costs
little more to the contractors. the addi-
tional outlay will be Insignificant as com.
pared with the actual money loss to the
public of the present ditch method.
