the United States favors the new republic

that this 6sparatist movement has had in

hasten the acceptation Of the Hay -Herran

OF the Republic of the Isthmus can bring about
In a short time the opening OF the canal by the
United States, and under It's protection.

must optemplate. as must all the countries
Of the South American Pacific, the conse-

To Clothe Poor children.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-.Str' The clothing
room Of the New York Society for the Prev vent'on
Of Cruelty to Children is entirely empty. During
the past SIX months over 600 miserable children
were rescued and relieved by II. The demand for
new and clean clothes Is continually Increasing and
the supply Il not sufacient to meet II.
These wretchcd little ones are brought TO the
society covered with NTH and vermin, and II be-
comes necessary In almost every case to replace
their clothes with new ones. IL must be remem-
bered that all the children arrested In the boroughs
OF Manhattan and The Bronx both boys and girls,
no matter what may be the cause, pass through
the society's hands. Many OF these are clothed
In rags. and others at least require change Of
undcrclothlng: so II can be easily understood what
Is required. Clothing for boys Is most needed
The society hopes earnestly that everybody will
aid In It's humane work by helping TO supply the
need which Is most imperative. Cast on clothing
and shoes will be received with eadncss. or cloth
from which clothes can be made, and. on notice

Why Discouraged?

Mr.. JOHN MITCHELL has returned to
Indianapolis from a recent visit to Colo
RADIO much discouraged, according to
the prees dispatches at the outlook for
the striking mine workers in that State.
The same dispatches say also that Mr..
MITCHELL regards the conditions in the
West. so far as the miners are concerned,
as equally bad with those existing in
Pennsylvania at the time the President
interposed.
Surely there must be error in these
statements. They can hardly represent
with accuracy Mr.. MITcHELLs views.
What can there be discouraging to him
in the outlook for the striking miners in
Colorado? That policy Of dynamiting,
arson and murder which he himself al
ways has denounced so vehemently as
an incident to strikes has been relent-
lessly crushed in the field of Colorado
strike activity. Governor PEABODY has
got his heel firmly planted on the neck
of anarchy and lawlessness and is keep
ing it there. 1t is his sworn duty to do
this and he is doing it. 1t is his sworn
duty to protect from violence and in
timidation all the citizens of his State in
the pursuit of their lawful occupations,
and to the full extent of the coercive
forces at his command Governor PEA
BODY is doing that, too.
What is there disheartening in all this? !?
What is there in it save an elimination
Of that lawlessness against which Mr.
MITCHELL has 80 often warned his fol-
lowers? All that he wants in case of
a strike is suppression Of mob violence
and fair and free field wherein organ
lied labor may put forth its full strength
unhandicapped by the crimes and mis-
deeds Of irresponsible outsiders and camp
followers. We know that this is all Mr..
MITCHELL wants, because in substance
he has said 1t many times.
Well, this is precisely what the Colo
1ado strikers are getting at the hands
Of Governor PEABODY. The State Legis-
lature having refused to pass an eight
hour law which the State Supreme Court
ruled to be unconstitutional, the miners
union has undertaken to enforce the
eight-hour day by the sheer strength Of
it's monopoly of mine-working labor.
Has the miners union the monopolistic
strength to do this?' That is the issue,
simple and clean cut. Governor PEA
BODY has cleared the ground for it's free
trial. He has seen to it that the miners
get fair play by preventing rioters and
sssassins from hampering and disgrace
ing their cause by making it their own
To say that this is situation which dis
courages Mr.. MITCHELL is little less than
to insult him. 1t is precisely the situa-
ton he, in common with all good citizens
and all true friends of organized labor,
would have.
The dispatches, too, are certainly in
error when they say that Mr.. MITCHELL
regards the Colorado situation as analo-
gous to that in the anthracite strike when
tho President injected the authority of
ms ugh Office into that controversy.

DR.. Small and DR.. Harper.

Prof. ALBION WOODBURY. SMALL is the
head Of the department Of sociology
ofthe University OF Chicago. There is
no moro earnest or chronic sociologtst.
II the Chicago reporters have correct
ears, he lately addressed these interest
ing remarks to his senior class:
"The only thing that deserves financial reward
Il hbpr. Capital a. such deserves none"
Prof. SMALL consents to receive q
handsome salary, the savings from which
would be regarded as sufficient or con-
siderable capital by millions OF people.
Presumably he refuses to save any OF
this fat stipend. Otherwise he would
become capitalist and cease to deserve
his reward.
Besides, he would be a wrongdoer:
The present legal right that capital enjoys Is
all wrong. Capital has this legal right simply be-
cause our statutes rve the right. There Is nothing
morally night about It."
DR.. HARpER's collection Of thinkers
contributes much to the happiness Of the
world; and DIR. SMALL's words are as
apples Of gold. Still, we must not be
selfish. There is a look Of vexation on
DR.. HARPER's bland and ample counte-
nance, at this time Of year wearing
what he calls @an expectant' expression.
The hypnotist of the pocket, the mixer
Of millionaires, the indefatigable treas
ure seeker. is little put out" At the
very moment when DR.. HARPER is wait

Sigh softly into his outstretched hat,
why must this too earnest sociologist,

Of the university that capital deserves

they have in them an original foundation
Of moral and Intellectual strength to be
developed. A clergyman at this time,
and more particularly in q Church
where there is diversity Of religious and
theological opinions among the clergy
and laity, has a post Of the greatest
difficulty to fill. Instead Of unquestion-
ing belief, he must stand before criticism
of the very authority which is his sole
dependence.
The ministry, concludes Mr.. CANF1ELD,
calls for extraordinary qualities Of mind
and heart sustained by sound body
and made effective by peculiar personal
experience" and long and thorough prep
aration for the sacred vocation. But so
also for its success it needs responsive
faith in tho people to whom It ministers
instead Of criticism of its authority to
deliver any divine message. Nero in

masterfulness will never convert the

Political Situation In Spain
From IN. BoSon Trans-rinf


The Clericals In Spain have succeeded In MAKING
Maura Prime Minister, Thus, at 81 events. thr
long political crisis has come 10 an end and III"
Spanish Parliament will take up again It's normal
function. The new Prcmiers policy will be en-
tIreiy opposite TO that OF his predecessor. N'l'a
verde The latter stood for the policy Of economies
and financial restoration. Aaura advocates the
aggrandzcment OF the army and navy. The pro
eramme of reforms presented by Vlllaverde Will
disappear and Maura instead of making economies,
will extort new sacrifices from the country In order
to rcorganize the army and navy. But while
military reform seems to be the main Issue OF III"
Governmental programme. We have 70 look for IN"
real political slgnIncahce Of the Maura Cabinet
In q different direction. Maura Is the man OF the
Church. and he will be opposed by coalition OF
all the Liberal and Democratic elements In the
Madrid Chamber OF Deputies. 1t will be night
A outrance between the reactionary forces OF all
descriptions and that new Spain which sees the
future Of the country not In military grandeur but
In the practical development Of Its material re
sources To this end, they say, Spain must put
down It's thoocracy In order TO become demo
cratic nation. since the reacuonary Influences SUB

tho struggle between the Clerical Government and
she Democratic elements will reopen. and the crisis
which ended with Aaura's nomination to the Pre-
misrshp nsy soon be precipitatcd again by his

An Imposition Exposed.

The Hon. WILLIAM H. MAXWELL, the
Small Boys Friend, as he is lovingly
known throughout the length and
breadth of unwhipped schoolboys' land,
exposed the Hon. NICHOLAS MURRAY
BUTLER at the dinner of the School
Principals Club on Saturday night.
DR.. BUTLER, having passed the age when
corporal punishment can be applied to
boys, has become strong advocate Of
it for youngsters. He remembers Pater-
son, N. j., and the pre-school prayer
meeting, followed by the pre-schooa
moral meeting at which those who mis-
behaved during prayers were labored
with on the corporal punishment plan.
He said to the principals:
Tho moral meeting was much the longer Of the
two. understand that In this city we arc without
that admirable exercise and that the modern child

that the large hearted and sentimental and soft

into the presidency Of Columbia. For
the discontinue Of the anti-spankers he
figuratively exhibited the cuttings and
birchings he received years ago. OF
course, the principals were pleased
But DR.. MAXWELL was on hand, with
his memory working and his friendliness
for boys in good order. He demolished
DR.. BUTLER and his plea for spanking
in this fashion:

sufficient to meet all Tonopah's de-

to the surface can be conducted by
gravity to Tonopah. Between hte two
