"PRINTSn AT PEACE
WITH EMPLOYERS
President of international Typoeraph-
ical Union Voices Pacific Sentiments.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 1O-The
forty-ninth session of the Information
al Typographical union began at the
Columbia theater today. President
James M. Lynch occupied the chair
His report says the past year has been
notable one not only for the union,
but for organized labor in general. Dur
ing the industrial crisis, brought about
by the vast increase in the number of
trade union adherents, Mr.. Lynch says
that the International Typographical
union has been fortunate in preserv-
ing its equilibrium and has pursued a
calm and peaceful course. The report
expresses regret at the tendency Of
trade unionists to make light of the
unions of employers and questions
whether it would not be better to dis
play tolerant spirit toward them in
the hope of establishing friendly rela-
tions.
The report of j. M Brentwood, sec
retary- treasurer, shows that the re-
ceipts for the year, including the bal
ance in the treasury July I, 1902, of
$38,O72, amounted to $223,255. The ex-
penditures were $174,085, leaving
cash balance in the treasury on May
81, 1903, Of $49,170, an increase of SILL
097. The increase in the average pay
ing membership was f,072, the largest
in the history of the organization. Per
capita tax was paid on an average
membership Of 42,436.
The proceedings today were entirely
routine and adjournment was taken till
tomorrow.

Edison Should Be sidetracked.


Thomas A. Edison was good enough
day or two ago to tell a reporter the
story of new internal machine which
he is excogitating. The contrivance
consists of a motor and battery Of such
design as to be readily applied to a
four wheeled. vehicle with a view to
propelling the same at high and MUIR
derous velocities. Mr.. Edison offers to
wager that next year he can take a car
OF. his. design, fitted with his motor and
battery, and go to Chicago and back In.
less time than with any other machine
in existence. "The trip will be made
at an even twenty five. miles an hour"
very good. IF Mr.. Edison expects to
go to Chicago and back at the rate Of
twenty five miles an hour, we hope he
will be arrested at every town through
which he passes and detained so long
that his trip to Chicago will consume
about four years Of solar time. BY
which we mean that Mr.. Edison is at
work upon the wrong thing and in the
wrong way.-New York Times.

What the st. Paul public baths will
realize from the late carnival will not

are outstanding that the committee on

A brief meeting of the committee
was held last night at the old head

owing to the absence of some of the
committee reports nothing was done.
All persons having claims against the
association have been requested, to file
them with General Manager Lennon.

There is a balance in favor of the

Why the Mississippi Is Black.

The color of the water in the upper
Mississippi river below ST. Paul is IKE
that of black tea. It is stained by the
roots and leaves Of the tamarack
swamps on the st. Crolx, Chippewa
and other tributaries. The leaves OF
that plant contain a strong tannin,
and. dropping off into the water, color
it. The dark tint of the water is deep
ened by the bark and saWdust Of the
pine logs. The lumbermen use saw
dust for fuel up here, but cannot con-
sumo half of 1t. and burn it in great
furnaces erected expressly for that
purpose. You can see the stacks at
every group of sawnlills. Millions OF
dollars are thus thrown away. In Eu-
rope every ounce of sawdust Is util-
lied, but we are wasteful people. The

CUPID's ALLIANCE WITH TERPsI.
CHORE

The saucy god of love sought di-
rect alliance with the frivolous patron
of the dance the other day to effect the
union of pair of lovers. Fred Stoecker
and Margaret Ritter, both living and
loving in the purlieus Of Sparta, Wis,
fell victims to Dan Cupid. Never did
the mischievous deity find as willing a.
couple of victims. Even the environ
ment of Sparta, which is not calculated
to, attract the attention of the god
from the more promising fields of
South Dakota and Chicago, could not
cool the ardor inspired in these lovers
by the inf1aming DART. And hap
pened, as it frequently does, that those
arch enemies of Cupid, the obdurate
papa and mamma, took up arms
against the union of the houses of
Stoecker and Ritter Perhaps the par
ents thought they were engaged in an
original line of warfare. The fame of
Papa and Mamma Capuiet may possi-
bly, not have penetrated to Sparta, but
the Stoeckers and the Ritters were
quite as busy as though they had been
furnished with complete plans of how
to conduct war on true love.
Did Fred Stoecker suffer in silence
as a Spartan should? Did the lovely
Margaret pine in solitude and let the
worm feed on her damask cheek? Not
they. LET us be up and doing" said
Frederick. referring to the doing of the
parents.
He bribed a few friends to get up
dance The dance was located out in
the country. The old folks were in
duced to go to the dance, but Fred and
Maggie each declared that the dance
had no charms for them. The old folks
might go and dance themselves to
peaks, but they would remain locked
in their rooms pining. The elders took
the bait and went to the dance. Where
upon Fred took Margaret and went to
church.
The old folks are still in pursuit, but
they are seriously handicapped, for
Cupid has withdrawn from the alliance
with Terpsichore and taken on a deal
with steam and electricity and the low
ers have the making of the pace to
themselves. And the world that loves
a lover will not frown on the ingenious
Mr.. Stoecker because he is now that
most uninteresting of humans, the
new married man.

PRESIDENTIAL PLATITUDEs.

There is no apparent reason why
President Roosevelt should have ad-
dressed his open letter to Gov. Durbin
on the subject Of lynching. 1t really
contains nothing new in the way Of
either suggestion or remedy. Perhaps
there is nothing new to be said; but If
so, that is not a good reason for say
ing something old.
The president repeats what the news
papers of the country have all been
SAYING with one accord. He makes two
familiar points; that the color of a
mans skin should not be considered
in estimating his guilt or administer
ing punishment, and that the courts
verify of the cases that breed mob
vengeance. Both are as well taken as
they are platitudinous. Neither goes
to the center of the evil disease from
which this country suffers.
AS far as mention of the race issue
is concerned, we probably do the presi-
dent no injustice in supposing that he
brought this in with some eye to po-
slitical effect 1t has been proved over
and over again, by facts so awful that
they are superior to any argument of
theory, that neither section nor color
has anything to do with the 1ynchings
that follow the preparation of partic-
ular crimes. They occur just as GER
tainly in Indiana or Colorado as in
Georgia or Mississippi; and they seek
out the criminal just as readily. as
they did last week in the state Of
Washington. when he is white as when
he is black. It is the awful character
of the offense. and nothing else, that
inspires the mob with frenzy. Any at
tempt to blunt or evade the point Of
this truth is not sincere.
For many years now the courts of the
country have been urged to do their
work with greater expedition and Sc
verify. The admonition is needed.
But the fault lies less with laws or
judges than with juries. With them rests,
in practically every such instance as
those to which we refer, the fate of the
guilty man. If he too frequently es-
capes, it is because Of criminal sem
timentalism about imposing the death
penalty where public feeling says that
nothing short of death will suffice. AS
far as this is the responsible cause OF
many lynchings. the charge lies
against the whole body of our people;
and not against any section or state.
any race prejudice. any system of laws
or any occupants of the bench.
And this is the bottom truth. The
American people of today are possessed
by singular mixture of mawkishness
and fierceness. The most disgusting
crime does not ALLEVIATE all sympathy
from its perpetrator; does not prevent
his friends from forming party, or
men from rejoicing when some tech
nicality sets him free. But the very
passion that refuses to be aroused
when there is such just occasion for
it bursts all bounds when the incen-

SENTIMENT AND THE NAVY.

The spectacle of the navy depart
ment convulsed over the question OF
the adoption of a new night garment
for sailors is one that cannot fail to
impress the public. For that public,
forming it's opinion from actions 1t has
recently witnessed, has felt justified in
concluding that this department was
as utterly devoid of sentiment as Kip
lings Vampire lady. But that the pub
lie has wronged the department doth
appear in this; that some Of it's men,
bers have been brought almost to the
verge Of tears by proposal to aban-
don the old-fashioned night garment
in favor of the more modern pajamas.
The agitation has split the department
into two factions. One pleads, on the
ground of sentimental associations, for
the retention of the old-fashioned
night garment; the other, more pro-
gressfve, favors the pajama innovation.
1t is in the prescribed order of things
that the old shall give place to the
new. Time is a woodsman who spares
no tree, and there are those who saw
in the Introduction of the pajama the
downfall of the other garment so long
countenanced by Fashion But even
those who have adopted pajamas and
found them comfortable cannot fail to
admire the manly stand that certain
members of the navy have taken in the
matter. The single piece garment,
means something to them. They will
not have it discarded without a pro-
test. Fashion is a tickle jade, inf1u-
enced by no sentimental considerations.
once on with the new love, she gives.
no thought to the old. But while the
public follows Fashion, it has none Of
her callousness; and, therefore it can
not fail to be impressed by the senti-
ment expressed by the navy. al
But as regards the solution of the
problem, the public will be disposed to
criticise the department. Filing away
the sample suit of pajamas sent by an
enterprising manufacturing firm until
the members of the department have
thoroughly threshed out the subject
seems not the best way of disposing of
it, Since it is not the members them
selves who must wear this particular
style of pajamas, it is difficult to see
how their opinion can be of Importance.
OF course, those who have discarded
the old fashioned robe de mutt in favor
of the two-piece garment will incline
to the latter. And just as probable is
1t that those who have retained the
old-fashioned garment will vote in its
favor.
So, instead of filing away that sam
pie pair Of pajamas for future refer
ence, somebody should respectfully
suggest that it be sent on board one of
the United States battle ships in order
that the sailors may test for themselves
the desirability of the modish garment.
If the jaclAies fancy the pajamas, the
duty of the department is clear. If, on
the other hand it is discovered that
the jackies cling to the one-piece gar
nent, there seems to be no good and
sufficient reason why they should not
be allowed to retain it. Fer, whether
he sleeps in night shirt or in pa
jamas, the man behind Uncle Sans
guns will, doubtless continue ready and
willing.
