THE PRESIDENT AND THE UNION

Almost the first act of Presi.
dent Roosevelt on his return to
Washington was to settle the
question arising in the Govern
ment Printing Office over the
dismissal and subsequent rein
statement of one Miller, who
was not acceptable to the Union.
The President but stated the
views held by all good citizens
whether members of a union or
not. On the question of whom
it shall employ and the qualifi-
cations needed for such employ,
the government is and must be
the sole judge. Any other opin-
ion must necessarily place the
union above the government and
consequently above and outside
the law. In its desire to en-
phasize and maintain the great
mission which organized labor is
to perform, grave mistakes are
often made. But such a conten-
ton as is made in the Miller case
is probably the most serious mis-
take that could be made, and the
threat to oppose Mr.. Rooseselt's
nomination can hardly be SER
iously considered. The public
will recognize that he has but
done his simple duty, and no
President could do less and
maintain respectable position
before the people. If the Steel
trust or Sugar trust should try
to coerce tho government, what
howl would 60 up. The per-
emptory demand that Miller
should be dismissed simply be-
cause the union desired it, is. no
different. Both capital and labor
have a right to organize and in
organization is the highest eff
cheney. But neither should at
tempt to run the government.
That is a job, which we elect a
President to perform.

Women Are the Angelo

Imagine to yourself Christrnas in 2 mining camp where there are no women. what would the sb0ys" dor. Some or the miners would forget altogether that fl was .Christfnas. They would rise with the dawn if it were a winter digsing. swallow greasy hapJacks. bacon ana stalding hot coffee and go out to ply nick and shovel all day long. coming home at night, cold, stiR and weary, uaerely to repent the greasy flapjack and fried hacon and hot coffee performance and then sink into their hunks to lose themselves in sleep f ,t.: . ;Cthers remember it Is Christmas and do not work. What is there for them! They hang around their shanties. wash and mend their clothes, mayhap. then play cards. The married onss and those who have mothers and sweethearts prob ably remember to write letters home. Those who have not and who cannot bear the frightfuI loneliness and lack of all that makes Christmas cheer in civiliza- ston many a time drug their memories with fiery wgters, ands end the sacred. heautiful day with al carouse, that VIII give them oblivion for a few hours and whole days of dyspepsia and bitter re- krets afterward Heaven have mercy on these!

THE TALK OF GOOD SOCIETY.

Complaints that Slang is Used to
 Excess.
 From New York Sun
 It has been suggested lately that a primer of slang Is needed by persons wishing to get along in good society. Certainly the use of slang has increased greatly in the Fifth avenue world.
 Said stately old lady the other day. apropos of some admiring comments which followed the departure from the room of vivacious young matron:
 T should enjoy her more. think, if l always understood what she was talk ing about. I suppose am very old fashioned, for I find. often that really need key to the conversation of the younger members of society.

MONTGOMERY THEATRE.
Quinlan and Wall Minstrels Matine
 and Night,

Quin1an and Wall Minstrels Matinee and Night. Quinlan and Wall have a good little minstrel show.
 To two small audiences they played yesterday at the Montgomery Theatre and to those who saw and enjoyed the performance the fact is apparent that minstrelsy as it used to be, Is on the | wane.
 Quinlan and Wall have no gorgeous l scenic effects, nor is their corps of sing CTS and comedians over large. The or ganization relies solely on the ability of its members to sing and the wit of their comedians, Once was when this reliance was as strong as Gibraltar.
 There are some good, some bad, some indifferent people with the attraction. Jimmy Wall, since the retirement of George Primrose and the practical disap- pearance of George Wilson is perhaps the funniest black face man on the American stage. He has, however, a strong rival in Emil Subers, who does the opposite end from him. Subers is a young man but he has ideas of his own. These ideas are clever. Young Subers rendered the al- ready familiar "White of Your Eyes, fin new manner and won instant favor. He sang new rag time "I Ain't Got No Use For Sleep that made him doubly a fa- vorite.
 There is a lack of jokes in the first part. Quinlan and Wall, however, seem to be- lieve that it Is better to spring one new joke than ten old ones. The few jokes they sprang were new and funny.
 Dan Quinlan since the death of Will liam H. West Is undoubtedly the most finished interlocutor that now treads the boards. He made the firat part go of with a snap rarely seen in a minstrel per- formance
 The olio consists solely of musical num- bers in which an instrumental number led by Herbert Simon. an old Montgom- cry boy. was strongly featured and ap- plauded
 Quinlan and Wall have entirely done away with acrobatics in their perform ance and this seems to please the audi ence.
