pranks, especially when praeticed by
young men nearly of voting age. Elk
cuses can be found for the rough and
tumble of a free fight, or for certain
not too gentle practical joking. But
when students of college so far dis
regard the prophecies as to insult
their president and his guests, and
punish some of the latter for showing
proper respect to their host, it IS
about time to inquire whether that
college is intended for gentlemen or
rowdies If the president does not
use his best eadeavors TO discover and

A Copper War.
Twenty Thousand Men Out of Work in
Montana in an Industrial Conflict.

Twenty Thousand Men Out of Work in
Montana in an Industrial Conflict.
The spectacle of a Whole State in
industrial difficulties as the result of
a fight between two men has attracted
the attention of the whole country of
late. The quarrel between two mine
owners IN Montana over the owner
ship of a vein of copper has para
lyzed the mining industry of the
State, thrown twenty thousand men
ont Of work, and upset everything IN
Montana more or less. 1t Is said by
some that this Is pure spitework on
the part of the trust, but a more rea-
sonable supposition seems to be that
the company can both save and make
money by stopping production. rais-
ing the price of copper, and unload
ing its surplus. 1t controls one-third
of the copper production of the coun-
try, ard its action is hence a matter
Of national Importance.
1t is such incidents as these which
give strength to the socialistic argu-
ment that the people must sooner or
later control all such industries.
! Whether this happens or not, nothing
Is more certain than that some means
viii have to be found to prevent in
dustriaI commissions on a large scale,
due to the irresponsible action Of one
man, or two men, or a group Of men.
Manifestly the miners who depend
for their employment on the Montana
! copper mines cannot foresee such II
responsible action, or protect them
selves against 1t. Manifestly it Is q
great misfortune to the State that so
enormous a number Of men should be
thrown out Of work. The mining
companies owe some consideration 10
the community which helps them
make their money. If they fail to be-
have with such consideration, the
community may find way tc make
them.
Individual enterprise is a good
thing, and It IS not wise to hamper 1t
unduly. But there is such a thing as
paying too high a price for individual
enterprise, and It is doubtful if the
Montana copper trust has done
enough fo- the State to make up for
the disastrous consequences Of its IT.

Another Example Of the Manners of the

A fresh proof of the lack Of train

was afforded by the performances of
the upper classmen of Randolph Ma

making all the preparations that a
college president naturally would for

The Celebritieg in WASHINGTON.

To the Editor Of Tie Washington Times:
ann only newcomer to Washington. but
have been here long enough to zee many Of the
nations celebrities. and I have been struck
with the apparent indifference which the aver
age Washingtonian seems TO exhibit in their
presence. There never was a truer saying than
than which express The effect Of familiarity,
though in this instance. Of course. it is not a
lack Of real regard OF respect. but merely that
indifference which grows from lack Of novelty.
firmly believe that every trlle Washingtonian
has high perhaps higher regard for the
mon at the forefront q the nations affairs as
these who, being at a distance are never
brought into contact With them and invest their
personalities with certain glamour think
man should come TO Washington to get a true
conception OF human nature. which, after al,
is the same in gEeat and lowly alike To
brush against American celebrities on the
streets and to find that they are not very
much different from other people after all
might not be in accord with the views Of those
living under monarchical forrn Of government,
but il Is certainly democratic, and IL IS the
very simplicity cf these customs which makes
an American man in every sense.

A New Dogma.

a new Dogma.
Pope Plus X is determined, II is said,
upon the creation of a new dogma Of the
Roman Catholic Church. namely that
of the Assumption OF the Virgin Mary.
While the church has always encouraged
belief in the assumption OF the mother
of the founder Of Christianity. it has
never until now considered 1t as an ar
ticle of faith or as a matter Of doc
trine. but rather as one OF tradition,
and IL is as such that 1t has been cele-
brated as q festival OF the church, on
August IS.
1T IS not certain where the Virgin
died. A passage in letter OF the Faith
ers assembled in the General Council OF
Ephesus. has been construed to mean
that she was buried in that city. while
according to other traditions she breath
ed her last in Jerusalem, where her
empty tomb was shown to pilgrims In
the seventeenth century. Still. nOtwith-
standing. the zeal of the early church
in collecting and generating relics. NJ
relics of the Virgins body have ever
been exhibited.
The empty tomb at Jerusalem and this
remarkable absence of relies tend, in the
eyes Of devout Roman Catholics, to con-
firm the history which St. John Damas-
Gene gives Of the corporal assumption
Of the Virgin, that IS TO say. her removal
to heaven without becoming a prey 10
that corruption which constitutes the
common fate of humanity after death.
and St John Damascene's testimony is
corroborated by that of St Andrew OF
Crete, and by many ancient Martyrol-
Ogies and Missals.

last one having been the late Lord Pc

is in remainder to the Earldom of Mac
