I Good Salaries.

The president has fixed the salaries
of the Panama canal commissioner at
$4,000 a year, with an additional al
lowance of SIS day while they are
on the isthmus. If any Of; them should
remain on the isthmus a greater part
stantially $4,000 year. These are
not large salaries compared with what
some of our railways and other large
corporations pay to their presidents
and managers, but they are large sal
aries compared with what the govern
ment is in the habit of paying. Only
the president receives a larger salary
from the federal government, and no
state governor draws more than $1O,-
900 a, year. While on active duty on
the isthnus the members of the COM
mission will receive more than twice
as much pay as supreme court judges.
i In lad dftion. there will doubtless be
many expenses that a private en-
ployee would have to meet himself
which the government will meet for
the commissioners.

Counting the Cost.

President Mitchell Of the United
Mine Workers Of America yesterday
justified the many tributes which have
been accorded him for his conserva-
tive spirit, by advising the miners of
that organization, engaged in the BIZ
luminous coal districts of the middle
states, to accept the terms offered by
the operators for the ensuing year,
rather than enter upon long and
wasteful strike, entailing loss and suf-
fering upon them. The reduction pro-
posed is 5.55 per cent, which, if re-
jected, will be followed by the closing
of the bitun1inous mines on April l..
Mr.. Mitchell tells the miners that
the difference in wages under the re-
duction is too small to justify the risk
ing of all the organization has gained
thru Cancellation, arbitration and
strikes during the last seven years, by
a general strike at this time, while
the possibilities of loss are greatly out
of proportion to the possible gain by
suspension of work.
The bituminous miners of the mid
die states have for some years been
enabled to work in peace thru the
system, current there, of holding CON
ferences with the operators at the be-
ginning Of the year and thru. friendly
discussion arranging the wage scale
fo q :,th ensuing twelve months. 1t is
sprobable that the miners will heed

On the principle of self preservation, the
Japs may be in the right in their appeal
to the sword to resist aggression; and they
may have the sympathy of liberty-loving
peoples. But will they be successful in the
end? Whatever may be their expectations
in the matter. conditions are against them.
1t is said that Russia has the greatest
army ON earth; that her army in times of
peace is over 100000 men: that on a
peace footing it contains more officers
alone than the American army has of both
men and officers; that it may easily be in
creased to 100000. Can Japan produce
such. an army? The Slav empire has al
most half the horses in the world. Does
Japan have the other half? There are
about 100000 horses in the Russian army.
Can Japan equal this? The aggressive
course of Russia is. bound up in the ira
ditional policy Of Peter the Great. This
policy has ever been pursued. Practically
she has never been defeated Steadily,
resistlessly, she has spread her dominion
over Finland, over Poland, over Turkey
and over Manchuria. And so her domin.
ion is from sea to sea; thus far fulfilling
the desire Of Peter the Great. Whatever
may be the outcome of this present war

Goes Home.
Not Worried About It Here.

1t is difficult at this distance and
I from the viewpoint Of an outsider to
understand the great agitation of
members of congress over the Bristow
report We do not believe that the
public has found anything in that re-
port to disturb confidence in the in
.,tegrity of the members of congress
who are charged with violation of the
regulations of the postoffice depart
ment, or any reason to justify the flu
4rious outburst in the house directed
against Mr.. Bristow and others re-
-sponsible for the preparation Of the
report and the publicity given to it.
The report, as we understand it, is
a mere incident to the postal investi-
cation. Along with inquiry into the
charges affecting officers and agents
of that department was developed the
fact that about half the members of
congress had made requests of the
department and procured concessions
and increases of compensation for
* employees Of the department which
are in violation of regulations, not
made by law but established by the
department itself. These regulations
have been establishd from time to
time as rules of business such as mis- at
be created in the conduct of any large
business enterprise. They do not rest
upon law, and conflict with them
does not constitute violation Of any
law.
The only question, therefore, I'M
er the departure from these regula-
lions procured by congressman has
been materially expensive or injurious
4 to the public service. That they have
been either is not shown. There is no
evidence that they have not been JUS
tifid by the conditions Of business.
Furthermore, the violations of these
regulations appear to have been com
mitted by both republicans and demo-
Gratis, so that from the political stand
point it is difficult to see how one side
can make more effective use Of the
revelations than the other. al
At any rate we can assure the mem
bers Of, the Minnesota delegation that
we have discovered no concern what
ever about this matter in this part
of the country, but that on, the con-
trary, the agitation in the house ap--
pears at this distance a good deal like
tempest in a tea pot.

"women DO Not Want to Vote"

y : /" ( -
To the Editor Of The Journal.
: have before me six editorials bearing
upon woman suffrage and every one Of
them assumes, as an excuse for denying
women their citizens right to the ballot.
that women do not want to vote. Even
editors who claim to believe in the justice
of it make this excuse.
Pray, what would you have we women
Go to prove that we wanted the ballot?
You will not let us vote in order to prove
sit, except In four states and in. those
states the women have certainly shown
that they want to vote by actually doing
so year after year in as great a proportion
and sometimes greater than the. men, II
you do not believe these women care for
the ballot just try to take it from them and
see what will be the result.
We have presented more petitions to our
legislative bodies asking for the ballot than
has ever been presented upon any, other
subject in the history Of our nation.
At the time Of the last constitutional
secured petitions from 100000 citizens, p
years of age and above, asking that a,
woman suffrage amendment be submitted
to the voters, but the convention refused
to submit it. This was the only amend
ment asked for by any large number Of
citizens.
Before the women obtained this mann
moth petition the editor of the New York
Sun said: IF the women secure 100000
names the convention will be obliged to
submit the amendment still they refused
to submit it after the women had secured
six times that number of names.
| Last year almost every organization of
women in the state of Illinois united on a
suffrage bill and sent their delegates to the
Legislature to prove that the women did
want to vote, but it was lost just the same.
The same is true Of nearly every state
where women have made the attempt to
secure some form of suffrage.
| In view Of all these facts, think it

pany with all the other false prophecies
about women, that kave done duty in the

hope.

why men do not give women the ballot.

the votes are ashamed to give the true
