OBJECTS TO HosTETTEE.

M. L. Hostetter, the reformed
drunkard and temperance lecturer, Is
again telling the story Of a Wasted
Life" in the churches of the state, os-
tensibly in the interest Of temperance
and reform. Mr.. Hostetter told that
same story here a few years ago, and
in a degree won the confidence and
God-speed of our people. but a short
time afterwards was arrested for
drunkenness in a city In the eastern
part of the state and pleading guilty
is reported to have made this state
ment,' II was walking the street feel
ing depressed in spirit when passing q
saloon l thought l would go In ana
swap a few stories and take q drink
with the boys and here am" Mr..
Hostetter contends it is not lack OF
will power that loses men to drink.
On that theory, or any other, his ca
rousal at that time appears to nave
been one of deliberate choice, there
was no sudden, irresistible impulse OF
appetite, no conquering temptation,
but a deliberate choice and that
choice gives the lie to every word ana
every profession of temperance eifoft
made by Mr.. Hostetter There IS psy-
Geological law that makes void of in-
auence all effort of man between
whose speech and action there is an
inconsistency. Speak louder! your
actions are so loud I cannot hear you.'
The temperance cause has been en-
Increasingly handicapped by such
vessels as M. l.. Hostetter. PITY It's
its true" but such workers GU should
not be encouraged.

says:
"Of course, men should and do have

they have not usually the same largess

work is more directly In the schools,
with the teachers and children. This
Is what is meant by the motherhood of
hospitality. The dirty or puny child is
repellent to her, she can do no good to
him or his teacher. But, II she sees in
him a boy who nesds mothering, she
can help the weary teacher to arouse

ANOTHER ANTHRACITE STRIKE.

It seems not unlikely that the coun-
try will be forced to endure another
protracted struggle between the coal
miners and operators in the anthracite
field. Next April the present wage
agreement will expire and a new one
be negotiated to replace It, When this
s time comes President Mitchell, of, the
United Mine Workers, has announced
= the intention Of his organization to
demand an eight-hour day and recogni-
] ton Of the union. His proposition Is

2 of 10000 men and boys We want so
much for III and you ,,an take 1t or
ijieave it. He will take 1t. because he
can't get along without U.S.
The theory is without flaw. In
Rgactice It is likely to run UP against
- determined opposition of the oper-
ators to union recognition. The pro-
posal OF an eight-hour day might find
the operators unwillirgly amenable,
but the demand for union recognition
Is practically certain to be refused and
h fought to q finish. Mr.. Mitchell's prop
1 osition ID a challenge to trial of en-
durance.
While public sentiment rs not
disinclined to the eight hour day, 1t is
unaltsrsbly arrayed against any sys-.
I TEN that makes monopoly Of the
opportunity to work. It will not sup
port the latter clause Of President
Mitchelrs proposition. And 1t would
seem that in case where 1t pays the
freight the public has some rights as
intervenor. Mr.. Baer cannot get along
without the 10000 men and boys,
s neither can the public get along with
aout hard coal. In the final arbitra-
ment the consumers must pay the adj
vance that generally follows q strike
settlement, whichever side wins. To a
large majority Of this consuming pub

In 1902 the sentiment Of the country
was behind the striking workingmen
IN the anthracite region. The public
endured deprivation and extortionate
prices quietly. because 1t considered
that the men were making their fight
against oppression. It will not endure
another and similar season unresent-
fully, when the principle involved Is
union recognition. The country at
large ID overwhelmingly in favor of the
open shop and equal opportunity.
