Industrial Peace.

81 believe the majority of disputes
between labor and capital" says John
Mitchell. of the miners union, can be
settled by what we call the trades
agreement. The employer and the en-
ploye are the parties deeply interested,
and if they are reasonable and sensible
they can settle their differences
Mr.. Mitchell's remarks were in COM
ment on Judge Gray's recent article, in
which arbitration is put forward as the
most satisfactory adjustment OF labor
disputes. Mr.. Mitchell believes in ar
bitration when necessary, but he nat
urally and rightly prefers agreements
that will make arbitration unnecessary.
In this he agrees with President
Roosevelt, who in his Labor Day adj
dress in Chicago said it was better to
arbitrate than to fight strike war to
the end, and better to conciliate before
striking than to arbitrate afterward-
The objection to arbitration as the
first way of settling a labor dispute is
that il calls in outsiders who cannot be
so deeply interested in the subject as
the parties themselves. and whose de-
cision cannot be so satisfactory to the
parties as would be an agreement
reached by themselves without inter
vention.
In all ages it has been recognized as
better for a man to agree with his adj
versary than go into court against him.
even though by the agreement he OBJ
tain less than the court might award
him. An arbitration is going into court.
That the court is created by the parties
instead of existing already max s no
difference.
1t IS true that arbitration sometimes
gives the third party. the public.
chance to be hear1. while he trades
agreement may be merely one 10 COM
pei the public to pay higher prices for
the products of thu industry n which
labor and capital thus agree. Bud
against that the public has other rem
edies.
The whole nation is interested most
of all in Industrial peace. And the
quickest way to preserve that peace Is
for labor and capital to realize that
they must go upor down together, and
that agreement before a strike is much
better than arbitration afterward.--

The Amenities OF Labor.

According to the Engineering and Mi
ming Journal, Hungarian. described
as "one of the most intelligent and
most respected leaders in Chicago"
was asked whether he thought it right
to make outcasts of non-union working
men. and this is his answer;
Certainly. Here is the way we look
at it: We are at. war for workingmen.
Now, if this country was at war with
another nation and an American should
shirk his duty. and go to the enemy.
you would call him a traitor. wouldn't
you? And he would have TO forfeit his
life if captured. Non-union men who
who take the places of striking union
lists are guilty of such treason. A strike
is war. And if a 'scab' We're brought
to Inc to judge" he added, soberly and
quietly, "by C.. I'd hang him."
Mans inhumanity to man puts on a
grotesque air in the face of talk of this
kind. 1t is time that little of the
fresh air of common sense was admit
ted into the foul atmosphere of the I'M
derground chambers where anarchy
foregathers This talk of war" be-
tween citizens of a peaceable country,
of treason" to the edicts of blind lead
ers' of the blind, of laws" enacted by
lotteries of embittered demagogues,-all
this would be silly, if it were not so
serious. The fact is that the rhetorical
claptrap of politicians has been given
the dignity of technical terms and the
careless vaporing of socialists has been
accepted literally by the workingnen.
When the regulations of voluntary as-
sociations are labeled laws and are
held supreme over state and national
constitutions, when the oaths OF men,
beers of labor organizations are worde6
so as to set aside all political and relig-
ious ties, and when the disorderly ac-
tions of mobs are dignifed by reference
to state of war, it is high time to or
der halt and to cali things by their
proper names. Secret combinations to
subvert law and order are conspiracies.
to set aside the law of the land is an
archy and to kill a workman who re-
fuses to affiliate is murder. Mean and
cowardly acts are best expressed in
plain English.

Ra6ium in Boston.

The leading surgeon on the staff of a
well-known Boston hospital who is now
abroad has written hcme that he is to
return with an adequate supply of ra-
dunn with which to make important
experiments in this city. Several Bos-
ton physicians. with the cooperation Of
men who are interested in the Rookie
Teller scheme of original research in the
field of medicine. are acting as a syndi-
cate with which to make the purchase.
Radium is so precious and rare that it
requires a small fortune to purchase
the minimum amount that can be
handled. The sensational value which
it has in relation to tubercular diseases
as well as eye affections makes expert
mentation of tremendous significance

Delegate Wilson's Sound Letter.

Delegate Wilson's letter to the Wash
ington Post, published in yesterday S
Republican, should be taken at its full
face value by our friends in New Mex
leo. The scheme to admit Arizona and
New Mexico as a single state has no
supporters of consequence in this ter
ritory, and will not have. The polite
statehood cause more than can be meas
ured at this time by their foolish talk
in favor of making single state of the
two territories. AS direct result of
Mexico has been stimulated throughout
Arizona, and many of our conservative
citizens have become lukewarm as to
the whole question of statehood, hay
ing become convinced that there is but
little prospect for admission by the
nity-eightn congress. Had New Mexi-
CO continued faithful to the under
standing under which the three terri
tories were operating thare would have
been a much brighter prospect than
there is now.
And it is 10 hoped that the full sig
nificance of Delegate Wilson's letter
will be appreciated. He expresses the
sentiments of Arizonians generally
when he says that were congress to
admit the two territories as ane state
arizona would refuse to ratify the con-
stitutlon of the proposed new COM

FIRED FIRST GUN AT FORT SUM
TER

A son of the late Major Wade Hampf
ton Gibbes of Columbia. S. c., says that
it was his father who, as a lieutenant
fired the first gun, signal gun, at the
attack on Fort Sumter. Charleston har-
Dor, on the morning of April u, 1861.
He writes: AT Lieutenant Gibbes' $
battery the signal gun was aimed to
burst a shell high in the air; another
gun was carefully aimed at the fort,
and the wires We're laid ready to eX-
plode mine under an old house in the

were done simultaneously. Now, which
of the three shots fired at the fort from
the three separate mortar batteries by

ant Gibbes's battery w3s the second
shot no man may certainly say. -

Justice Defeated by Appeals.

: If Justice Brewers idea had ruled in
Missouri recently and appeal had been
denied in criminal cases. nineteen

brides to public servants-Would now be
doing time behind prison bars. Would
mt that spectacle have been one to
brace up" the workers for political re-

miserable system of allowing appeals
on all manner of technicalities. and
where the appellant court, as in Mis-
souri,, eXalts the observance of techni-
calities above the doing OF substantial!
justice. there is widespread belief
that few of the boodlers will receive

WOMEN AND RADIUM
Prominent Part Taken in Making Its
Phenomena known.

The increasing importance of the daily
press in the dissemination of scientific
news is strikingly illustrated in the
case of radium and of radioactive sub
stances generally. 1t has become a mat
ter Of absorbing and almost eXacting
public interest. The average man in
every civilized country knows as much
about radium as do the most advanced
physicists, and the daily progress of
investigation is watched with interest
by the we'll informed newspaper reader
everywhere. Sir Oliver Lodge notes this
fact with approving comment, showing
how much better advised people of
other countries are On this and kindred
subjects than are those of France,
where the news value of great scientific
discoveries is not yet appreciated.
Another fact of exceptional interes,
is the prominent part which women
have had in the isolation of radium
ana in making its astounding phenom-
ena known. 1t was discovered by
Madam Curie, not by accident, but as
the result of pure deductive reasoning
from observations of uranium and
rolonium. Among the most important
of recent contributions to the literature
of radium are those of two accomplish
Ell NOiileH, I1duy vile OIL lle
president of the Regal society, and Miss
Willcock OF Newnham college, Cam
bridge. Lady Higgins. in association
with Sir William Higgins. conducted
a line of experiments to obtain the
spectrum OF the familiar spontaneous
radiation from radium at ordinary tenn
peratures. The most careful observa-
tons possible with the eye were first
made, and photography was then call
ed upon to catch the record of the blue.
violet and ultraviolet lines of the spec
trum. Ultimately, after an exposure
of seventy-two hours, a negative was
obtained showing eight bright lines.
eight faint lines and nebulous trace
oe continuous spectrum in the blue
region. In 4 report published by the
Royal society Lady Higgins reaches
the quite unexpected conclusion that
the seven strongest lines in the new
suectrum agree not only in position but
in relative intensity and character witr!
the bands in the spectrum of nitrogen.
and, further, that nearly all OF the utra-
violet radiation appear to have come
from nitrogen. Additional photogra phs
are now in progress. which Lady Hug
gins thinks may show indications of
helium and possibly of radium.
The work OF Miss Willcock has been
done in association with Mr.. w. b.
Hardy. and consists of a critical study
of the influence of the rays of radium
mon chemical change and other natur-
al processes. Tubes containing a solu
10, o. lL-.C-orn in chloryhill were eX-
Guided from light and remain unchang
ed for sixty hours. On placing the box
containing it over a small quantity of
radium bromide the tubes became pur-
pie in about ten minutes. This is an
extremely interesting isolated fact, and
may open the door to the study of the
influence OF hitherto unobserved rays
in effecting chemical changes which do
not occur without them. The function
of radio. activity in cosmos is meal
culable with our present knowledge.

The French Government and the
Church.

The attempt of a mob at Treguir.
Brittany, to take the life of M. Combes,
the French PREMIER on Sunday last was
significant of the deep UNI est which has
been created throughout rural France
by the efforts of the French govern
ment to stamp out the monaStic orders
and break UP the convent schools. 1t is
not probable. however, that anything
more serious than decided unrest and
minor riots will be developed. 1t is on
ly in the rural districts that religion
still has a strong held on the minds Of
the French-the peasant alone is still a
Catholic first of all. In Paris, and in
fact in all the cities of Importance, the
socialist and the free-thinker have the
call, and the parish priest finds himself
shorn of much of the influence he FORM
erly welded.
But the radical attitude of the French
government toward the religious orders.
has. of course, drawn a sharp line be-
tween the church and the free thinkers.
although Premier Combes has endeav-
ton of the government is directed
agains, the monks and not against the
priests. Al most, his speeches have
criticised only priests and prelates
whose sympathy for the rebellious mo-
nastic orders has led them openly to
oppose the national authority. but it is
considered that these speeches have
been the moving cause in raising the
hostile mobs which he has encountered
several times lately, and it may be

Combes Incorporate speeches were
used as a pretext by the mob leaders.
While the French premier insists that
he, has no quarrel with the Catholic
church as a church. his ablest political
opponents claim to believe that he is
attacking the church as a whole. 1t
must be admitted that there is some
justification for this. NJ. Combes is the
official head of cabinet so radical that
il will not pay decent respect to the
memory of the late pope. The execu-
tive head of the government itself. NJ.
Loubet-in most respects an ideal
statesman for France, and certainly a
noteworthy specimen of self-made
man-does not sink his prejudices

first communion of his own son. Be

minister stands the great radical-social-
list party, for the vast majority a party
