The President Not a Boycotter.

President Roosevelt sets a good example
to the country at large by his refusal to
boycott the Union Pacific Railroad at the
tehest of labor organizations which just
now entertain grievance against that
line because of a strike among some of its
employees. The Presidents itinerary was
ARA nged long in advance and with par
ticular reference to directions and dis
tances and not with regard for the imme
diate status of the labor issues affecting
this or that line. Should the President
have acceded to this request and shifted
his, route he would render himself liable to
assault from all directions the same
score He would be asked not to wear a
certain kind of clothes because of some
friction at some stage in the course of
manufacture between employers and work
ers. Or he would be asked not to patronize
a hotel where the walters had struck. AS
has been frequently demonstra ted, there is
absolutely no end to the boycott when once
it is established, and If the President We're

friendliness toward labor's best interests.
In a recent speech he declared IL to be his
hope that here in the District of Columbia
would soon be set to work a system of
federal laws regulating the relations be-
tween workers and capital which would
serve as a model for the entire country and
would conserve the welfare OF the laboring
classes while preserving the rights of the
employers. His intervention in the great
coal strike last autumn was a direct evil
dence of his practical advocacy of the
principle of arbitration. for which the
unions stand conspicuously pledged. But
while a friend of labor. the President is no
partisan. He is President of the whole
people and the eighty-odd millions of
Americans include some employers as well
as great many workers. He should never

charge would escape punishment was the
most improbable OF things. A law officer
Of the town addressed the mob and ex-
planned all this. They heard him. but they
needed not Somebody in frenzy, or
somebody delighting in bloodshed, had
cried lynch him." and from that moment
the worst element in the community had
taken complete control.
It would be an instructive thing II note
could be taken of the sort of persons who
first in times Of excitement utter this cry,
and those who are the most passionately
affected by it. We should probably discover
that they are the least representative of the
good name Of the community. and the very
last members Of 1t whom the officers of the
law ever expect to do a creditable thing In
the community's interests. And yet they
claim for themselves after an outburst, and
sometimes the claim is allowed, that they
acted really in behalf of the community;
that their sole object was to strike terror to
evildoers and make life and property safer.
Now and then a feeling of encouragement
creeps over the country with regard to mob
law. This, however. should be resisted.
Progress Is slow, but we are making prog
ress. Statistics show-it's a grim sort OF
business gathering statistics on such sub
ject-that lynchings are diminishing in num-
Der. and that officers willing to do their full
duty are increasing.

Trusts and the Race Question.

Thursday:

the administrations attitude toward the
negro. The old man has been reading the
trust papers. and he has been made to be-

A Chance for Chauucex.

Where is Mr.. Depew? Why is he not at
Albany exercising his arts in behalf of
peace? To what better use could he put
his bubbling good humor. his fluent tongue,
his long list Of apt jokes, than to inducing
his political brethren at the state capital
to cease their fractional strife? He is the
man of all others for such work His
heartiness is unaffected and his popularity
boundless. In fact it was his popularity
that secured him his seat in the Senate
He had not earned the place, as so many
of his predecessors had. by long and earn
est attention to party management. His
business engagements had taken up a good
deal of his time. But his speeches had al
ways been so entertaining and his SYM
pathy so unfailing that when he asked for
the senatorship then at the disposal of the
republicans. they could not deny him. They
handed it to him with very low bow.
And surely Mr.. Depew's popularity has
not since diminished He has acquitted
himself in the Senate about as his admir-
ers expected. He has spoken we'll, and not
too often If there is difference of opin-
ion as to whether his oratory is heard to
better advantage in that arena than at the
banquet board. the dispute in not new But
the discussion is amiable. His relations
with. his colleague are unusual in politics.
He and Mr.. Plat are as brothers. There is
no excuse. it is true. for clash. The one
is an orator. the other a manager. The one
represents the state on the floor. the other
in committee. The one speaks when New
York wants to be heard in the debates, and
the other looks out for her interests when
the pork barrels are opened. 1t is. upon the
whole happy. workable combination
And so arises the inquiry, where is Mr..
Depew at this time? Maybe the situation
a. Albany Is not as grave as appears upon
the face of things. There Is good deal of
temper on tap without doubt Mr.. Plat is
getting along in years. and some OF the
younger men in the party are little i'm
patient. They would, II they could. take
matters into their own hands and drive the
team to suit themselves But there are
many things to be considered and the chief
thing Is that presidential election is ap-
preaching. Wild driving. therefore. is not
advisable. Keeping in the middle Of the
road is, or should be, the leading considera-
ton.

A Chip on the German Shoulder.

The German newspapers seem deter
mined to take offense at the United States
with or without cause. They quarrel on
slight pretext with the ambassador here
for displaying his personal friendliness to-
ward President Roosevelt. They now take
umbrage at the visit of the American
naval vessels on European station to Mar
seilles to honor President Loubet For.
say these journals, did not the American
government refuse to allow its fleet to
visit Kiel when the kaiser asked that the
vessels be sent to participate in the sum-
mer manuevers? Why. then, should Amer
lea honor France while cutting Germany?
1t would almost seem as though the
German press wanted to be insulted. SO
strenuous are its efforts to make out a
case against the United States. These
irate editors have overlooked the fact that
the feet which has honored President Lou
bet Is not the same fleet which was In
vted to visit Kiel. Nor has the visit to
Marseilles anything whatever to do with
the reasons which were given by the Pres1-
dent for not ordering the visit to Kiel
which reasons, by the way. were accepted
with good grace by Germany as quite
sufficient. Marseilles Is directly on the way
of the European squadron in its Mediter-
ranean cruise. To stop there is a mere de-
tail. to omit which might be construed by
the French into an affront with much
more reason than the German press is now
imagining an insult to Germany in the
episode.
The truth probably is that the German
press Is sore" at the United States, but
even more sore" at the German govern
ment for the latter'S evident desire to make
friends in this quarter. The Venezuelan
affair was a strain on the German sensi-
bilities. The unofficial press frothed at
the mouth because the kaiser did not ny
to arms when the United States inter-
posed tactful. but none the less effective,
obstacle between the allies and sweep
ing assault upon Venezuela. There is
good deal of domestic politics in this show
OF irritation. Some persons believe that the
snti-American utterances of the radical
press inspired by the enemies OF the
kaisers rome policy seeking to embarrass
the government. Others aver that they
are suggested by the kaisers agents, with
the view to keeping up the fighting spirit
of the Germans. 1t Is all rather involved,
and perhaps explainable In general terms
on the assumption that the German press
is always ready to fall foul of any for
eign country which does not hail with
glad acclaim everything Germany does.
Nobody here believes that the admins
tration would deliberately ignore the cour-
teous invitation Of one government while
accepting that of another. Nor is it for
moment to be conceded that the United
States has anything like a chip on It's
shoulder for Germany or any other nation
TO knock off. We are seeking no quarrels
and desire no misunderstanding. Our
ships will pay as many visits of courtesy
it is possible for them to pay without
actually interfering with their established
routine of cruises

Harmony in Cincinnati.

MIR. Bryan and Mr.. Ingalls, lunching to-
gether at Cincinnati? Well. what Of It?
Maybe they got together on the subject
OF Mr.. Mclean. Mr.. Mclean, 1t Is true, sup
ported MIR. Bryan in both of the latter S
presidential races, but that has not pre-
vented Mr.. Bryan from saying some very
unkind things of the editor of the Enquirer
Mr.. Mclean also supported Mr.. ingalls, in
his recent mayoralty race. but that has not
prevented the latter from saying that IL a
democratic newspaper had been on guard
the party could not have been bought out
OF hand by the rascally republicans. But,
anyhow. Mr.. Ingalls, is out Of it. and many
people think that Mr.. Bryan is and they

ing scars and exchanging views as to the

correspondents travelling In the south, STIR
ring up feeling against the President over
his supposed attitude In favor of negroes.
But the truth Is that the southern white
people are not excited over President ROOSe-
velts appointments. They commend these
appointments because they admit that he
has given Office to fewer negroes than did
Harrison or Mckinley or Cleveland.
There Is nothing in the negro question
but an attempt by the trust promoters to
hit the President without acknowledging
wake up after a while and see how 1t is
being used ID" .-
The Star differs with Mr.. CIevelands old
friend about this matter. It does not be-
lieve that the ex-President Is playing a DO
ftical game In advocating education for the
negro. The meeting in New York at which
Mr.. Cleveland presided was not the first of
Its kind. by any means. Booker Washing
ton had on other occasions appealed to
northern audiences for assistance In carry
Ing on his work at Tuskegee, and this was
but another effort on his part to collect
money. He was fortunate in securing the
attendance Of Mr.. Cleveland and Mr. Cleve-
land declared himself in terms of SYM
pathy. 1t would have been strange, indeed.
II he had declined to attend. or, attending,
have failed to lift his voice with resonance
In favor of his friends school
But that movement Is on foot to drag
the race question into politics for use next
year Is plain enough. The Star in the past
few months has several times called atten-
ton to 1t. Nothing else explains the sud-
den eruption at Indianola, and the violent
outbursts on the subject Of DR.. Crum. And
as part Of the program comes the eulo-
giving of Mr.. Mckinley at the expense of
Mr.. Roosevelt. Really, one might easily
suppose from reading southern newspapers
that Mr.. Mckinley during his service as
President had refused to appoint negroes to
Office. and that Mr.. Roosevelt during his
vice had piastered the south with them.
The boot. as the record shows, is on the
other leg. Mr. McKinley,s negro appoint
ments outnumber Mr.. Roosevelts nearly
five to one: and some Of them when they
were made subjected him to as bitter criti-
cism as is now being leveled at Mr. Roose-
velt>
But. surely, trick so transparent, so
vocal with humbug, and smacking so
strongly of bankruptcy, can have no in
fuence on campaign when SO many aues-
tons of vital Importance are pressing for
attention.

The Latest Missouri Lynchine.

The authorities Of Joplin. Mo-. are NOV
ing in most praiseworthy fashion in the
matter of the lynching which took place a.
few days ago in that town. Three Of the
mob have been named by the coroner 8
jury. and are in custody. Others known
to be implicated have disappeared The
next step will be the submission OF the case
to the grand jury. Much remains to be
done. therefore. in the effort to punish the
offenders; but the start Is good, and indi-
Gates that the lovers Of law and order are
aroused. And so we may hope that nothing
will be left undone to legally avenge the
murder that was committed.
The Joplin lynching was Of what may be
called the regulation order. There was alb
soiutely no excuse for 1t. The negro
charged with shooting an officer was under
arrest. and was certain Of trial. The
courts were under no accusation OF leniency
or delay. In a short time there would be
presentment. ana all the other forms OF
law observed. That . negro under such q
