COAL MINERS DECISION.

1t was welcome news to the country
that the coal miners had decided not
to striks. Strikes, even when success
wul, entail suffering not only upon the
men but upon the general public.
They prove disastrous in O dozen
ways, not the least important being
necessary curtailment of food and
recreation. To be reckoned, to, is the
mental suffering Of the strikers and
their wives.
Had the coal miners struck it would
have meant months of idleness, several
millions of dollars lost to the opera
tors, and many thousands of dollars in
daily wages to the men. The natural
outcome, too, would have been rioting,
despite the efforts of the cooler heads
to prevent. There might also have
been bloodshed and loss Of life. BY
the decision to continue at work $780,
600 men will have steady employment
Gnu oUU,UUU people, ldIl-
lilies Of the men and the merchants
patronized by them, will have sum-
mer of prosperity instead of a sum-
mer of privation.
Strikes are becoming less frequent.
Capital and labor recognize that bat
ties of endurance are disastrous and
both sides are inclined to make con-
cessionS to avoid forced seasons of
idlenesS. Arbitration is the key to the
Situa ton. There is every reason to
hope and to believe that within few
years strikes will be practically I'M
heard of: at least, that there will be
no great strikes.

Seattle, March 26, 1904.
Editor Statesman:
Would you kindly send me paper
containing an account Of the purchase
of the Champion combination hose
wagon by the council last Tuesday
evening. l am curious to know what
excuse was given for donating $500 to
the trust agent for identically the
same piece of apparatus for which the
Seagrave company bid $1645 f. o. b.
Walla Walla.
IF the forcing through of the steam
er deal at an extravagant price gave
some of our friends such assurance as
to warrant an effort to prove compe-
tition folly and advertising useless-On
the public be d----- principle
would the result not have been about
the same?
The news was broken to me today
that the Seagrave company lost the
contract because the chairman of the
committee wrote to officials in various
coast cities and all recommended the
Champion Wouldn't it have been at
least as fair to have sent to cities using
the 'Seagrave' alone and who had
never seen the Champion? We have
had much experience with this ingen
icus scheme before and know that any
kind of testimony can be secured if the
right persons are written tO-they are
III nearly every case officials who have
bought apparatus just as Walla Walla
has and several of them are openly

recommendation from st. Louis, Kan
sas City, Salt Lake City, Indianapolis,
Cincinnati and other eastern cities but
these did not count-neither would
they address nearer localities them
selves although I offered to pay costs.
Well your city will get good
wagon and if the taxpayers are willing
that $1,000 too much should be paid
for steamer and wagon, we ought not
to complain. The worst feature of the
whole affair is that in their enthusiasm
for big figures, they bought entirely
too heavy an engine, too large a size,
and this l say after thirty years ex-
perience. The engine is too cumber-
some to be handled quickly. and yet
only last year a similar big engine
deal resulted in the cOnflagratiOn in
Aberdeen. At fire after fire before the
great one, their big steamer could not
be gotten to work within a reasonable
time. "Respectfully yours.

PROFESSIONAL SUICIDE.'

Il glory that ours is the only
profession on earth today that is
trying to destroy itself"
This statement was made recently
| Medical college of Philadelphia. Pro-
fessor Keen in celebrating this
thought called attention to the fact
that physicians are leaders in all hy-
gienic and sanitary reforms: that they
are continually studying, not only how
to cure disease, but how to prevent
it-trying to discover its origin, and
endeavoring to instruct the people in
the use of means and the creation of
conditions which will free them entire
ly from it's ravages. He called it pro
fessonal suicide"
The public generally Will give to
the physicians generous credit for
their phianthropic motives and eff
forts. They certainly are doing more
than any one else to eradicate disease
and remove those conditions which
This is a sort of professional suicide"
which magnifies greatly the services
which these men render. Identifies their
profession, and gets for them a high
place in the respect and appreciate
CT their fellows:
The medical profession is certainly
q grand one, and men of all profess
sions and occupations and vocations
are ready to accord to the faithful doc
tor as high honor as is felt and en-
tertaned for any man. He is honored
also for the liberality with which he
eXpends his time and his professional
ability in free hospital service and I'M
requited labor for the poor.
The doctor, it may be urged is not
| the only man who is in a measure I'M
dermining the foundations of his own
business and creating conditions which
to a greater or less extent eliminate
him as necessary factor in human
life. Take the lawyer. He very often
deprives himself of the prospect of
large fees by advising and urging his
clients to arrive at settlements and
compromises without resort to Itiga-
ton. Litigation appears to be on the
decrease. and the efforts of the law
Yer seem to be expended more and
more in keeping his clients out of
| Il ouble than in directing or fighting
their battles in the courts
The prisetly office has less and
less to do with regulating the conduct
and managing the business affairs of
men. To what extent this function
has been eliminated voluntarily
may not be quite clear, but the ten
dency of things is plain enough, and
it is plain enough that it means less of
authority and power for the clergy, to
which they yield in most cases a will
ling acquiescence.
AS for the editor, he no longer seegs
to promulgate opinion so much as to
disseminate information, and by so
doing has abdicated in large degree
some functions of his office once mag
nified out of due proportions by such
men as Greeley and Weed and Dana
and Natterson.
But all these professional changes
and others that might be noted bear
but slight resemblance in point of
professional suicide for want of a
