The End OF tho Teamsters' Strike.

1t has taken the Chicago teamsters
and their supporters fifteen weeks to
learn that organized labor is not the
strongest force in the country. 1t has
cost them nearly if not quite three
quarters Of million dollars to learn
that American public opinion believes
in the freedom Of labor. Their strike
has been an absolute failure. Only a
few OF the 5000 men who took part in it
will get their old places again, except as
vacancies may occur In the ranks of
those who have taken the jobs which tbs
strikers deserted. All have lost their
time and their money, and many OF them
have lost places in which they were
earning from $12 to SIS a week. They
have gained nothing.
This strike, from it's beginning, was
entirely without justification. There is
much evidence to show that it was con-
ceived in graft by individual leaders.

a situation so serious that the Turkish authors

Waiting for tho Break.

Tho Hon. ROBERT MARION LA FOL-
LETTE Of Wisconsin Is still standing with
reluctant feet where Governor and Sena-
tor meet. A little while ago he was
going to hang on to the Governors
chair until the Legislature consented
to certain legislation for which he has
fought long. Rather Unexpectedly, and
somewhat to his disappointment, per-
haps, the Legislature proved docile.
Yet he is as doubtful a. ever of the ad-
visibility Of emigratins from Madison
to Washington:

In short, 1t is unpleasant to lot go.
The Governor feels his responsibility for
Wisconsin. Can she walk alone without
him? Besides, among the Badgers he Is
King. In the Senate he will be but
beginner.
Mr.. LA TOILETTE has two more years
to serve as Governor. Governor is
sometimes nominated for President.
What chance does Senator have in that
race? When will national convention
cons scribe a Conscript Father?
Yet fresh voice crying in that desert;
real demagogue, leader of the people
and irrepressible trust buster in that
solemn chamber! "IfI go to the Senate,

parably stronger considered as a amilitary
Power. The history Of the French Re
public shows how dangerous Is proximity
to the expansive energies Of liberated
people. WILLIAM H.. moreover, is
aware that the Slav temperament Is
much less phlegmatic than the leu
tonic, and would be unlikely to brook
the restrictions placed upon the Reichs-
tag when BISMARCK refused to make the
Imperial Ministers responsible to that
body. II the Russians get any kind
of national assembly they may be
trusted to make 1t preponderant. 1t
cannot be supposed that the German
sovereign wishes to see such an example
of parliamentary omnipotence held up
before his subjects on his eastern as
we'll az his western frontier.
From the Cars point Of view the
time is not unpropitious for revival
of the "Drei Kaiser Bund." 1t will be easy
for Emperor WILLIAM to explain away
tho subscriptions Of certain German
bankers to the last Japanese loan. Nor is
it doubtful that, under the pressure that
might be exerted by the German sover-
eign, Berlin bankers would furnish all the
money needed by Russia, either to pro-
cure peace with Japan or to continue
the war. France, on the other hand
is an orange which has been sucked dry
so far as the prosecution Of hostilities
in the Far East Is concerned. The st.
Petersburg Government has been In
formed that, while the money required
for an indemnity might be obtainable
in the French Republic, not another
centime will be forthcoming for less
acceptable purpose. WILLIAM II. can
also appeal to gratitude as we'll as to
self-interest. He has right to recall
the fidelity with which he has fulfilled
the promise given by him to the Gar

ise that order should be enforced 80

Poland that the Car would be at liberty
to send to Manchuria almost the whole
Of the huge army usually distributed

estimable service, and may we'll seem
to call for q reward. Above all, the

With the Black Sea mutiny fresh in
his remembrance, NICHOLAS IL. is un-
likely to undervalue such assistance.
BY their acts ye shall know them. The

declarations made by the Gear on his
return to St. Petersburg should throw
light upon the tenor Of the advice offered

Lamont and CortelyOu.

The death Of Mr.. DANIEL SCoTT La
MONT on Sunday suddenly ended ca
reer which in some respects bore close
resemblance to that of Mr.. GEORGE
BRUCE CoRTELYoU. Each OF them served
as private secretary to a President, and
each was graduated from that relatively
humble function into place In the
Cabinet.
Mr.. LAMONT had the larger preliminary
experience OF politics, for he was one
Of the young men in whom the peculiar
disoernment OF character by SAMUEL j.
TILDEN early recognized rare moral and
political abilities. He had justified the
judgment Of Mr.. TILDEN in important
public functions before he was selected
by President CLEVELAND as his private
secretary in 1885. Mr.. LAMoNT's saga
cious performance OF the duties OF
that confidential relation led to his
appointment as Secretary Of War during
the second term Of Mr.. CLEVELAND.
When both Of them returned to private
life great financial and railroad interests
approved the judgment Of Mr. CLEVELAND
by putting Mr.. LAMONT in foremost
place OF responsible management.
Mr.. CoRrELYoU had had slight exper-
ience of political life. He had been a
teacher and a law reporter, and as a
stenographer he had rendered service
to various officials in New York and to
both President CLEVELAND and President
MCKINLEY. In 1860 he became private
secretary to Mr.. MCKINLEY. President
ROOSEVELT retained him IN that Office.
When the Department Of Commerce
and Labor was organized in 1908 he was
put at it's head and thereupon obtained
a seat in the Cabinet. He won the con-
fidence of Mr.. ROOSEVELT to such
degree that the leadership Of the Repub-
lican campaign Of 1904 was entrusted
to him, and he now holds with conspic-
nous success the Office of Postmaster
General.
Mr.. LAMoNT's rapid progress in both
public and private life was due to his
natural and intrinsic abilities solely.
It is true that he attracted the attention
of men powerful in influence, like Mr.
TILDEN, Mr.. CLEVELAND and Mr.. WHIT
NEY, but not through any pushing per-
sistency on his part. He was man
of modesty who was discovered rather
than self-exploited. His rise to political
distinction and to private wealth and
financial influence was due to singular
merit utilized by those who recognized
the ability OF rarely forceful and re-
sourceful man and who prof1ted ex-
ceedingly by means Of it.

Tho Great Remuneration.

The Hon. GEORGE FRED WILLIAMS,
Dedham's greatest Bryaniac statesman
and one of the original and only tribunes
of the Peo-p -pul, has been casting remi-
niscent and an appreciative glance upon
his illustrious career. He finds it good.
He approves and recommends it strongly.
But why, foreigners ask, Is the immortal
WILLIAMS only private MANI Why is
he plain Citizen WILLIAMS? Why are
not public honors and offices heaped
upon him? Why does he not shake the
Senate with his thunders?
Mr.. WILLIAMS does well to answer
these inevitable questions:
II started out as q Republican. The rulers of
Republican politics OF Norfolk county had 1t all
worked out for me to 60 10 the House. the Senate
the Governorship and the United States Senate
believe, II I had given myself over to them. the
program could have been carried out Certain
1t Is ] had big start on HENRY CABOT LODGE In
many ways. But kicked on BLAINE"
If Mr.. WILLIAMS hadn't kicked on
BLAINE, where would LODGE be now?
A Harvard professor, perhaps; a dill
GEM uidhcI VI OoohS, 'io cuiIoi VI d
magazine. Let us not weakly say that
these things lie on the knees of Fate.
Mr.. WILLIAMS was Fate. He made
room for LODGE. He chose the private
station as the post of honor. He has
occasionally emphasized this resolution
by running for office. But the Massa-
chusetts people want their tribune to re-
main free and independent. They won't
coop him up in the State House.
Mr.. WILLIAMS "kicked or BLAINE" in
1884, He is kicking on" BILL GAsroN
in 1905. Thus does he obey the voice at
eve obeyed at prime. To a man of his
temperament 1t doesn't matter what he
kicks on" so long as he kicks. He likes
the exercise.
