,.vprrAN SPIRIT OF UNREST.
nj AAnNA By Mayor George B. Mcclellan

The country needs men Of thought
and men Of learning, and needs them
badly. The man who thinks may be
a greater patriot than the man who
does. 1t has been said that no amount
Of means and light will avail unless
accompanied by action, which is the
same as saying that the brain would
be useless without the power Of ex-
preston. We have defined action as
the two prizes Of thought. The good
old motto, "Act in haste; repent at
LEISURE" no longer stands at the top of

for each person of school age residing
in the State June 20, 1905, is S2O.12.

KEEPING YouNn

II HIS is the kind OF thing that oc-
\ casionally appears in the state
News Of Dover. when the editor. like
an other editors. occasionally runs out
OF absorbing topics TO treat:
we have just skipped am article in a
newspaper entitled How TO Keep
Young" We positively refused to
read il. We don't want TO keep looking
youns. We want 10 look as old and
furrowed as man above fifty ought to
look We hate old people who try to
look young They are not worth the
space and ground they cumber Only
= barren tree keeps green and fresh.
Where there has been fruit win be seen
the yellow leaf We hope people think
we look old and broken down. We
wouldn't care II they think "he looks
older than he u.s." But they needn't
bother about telling US. We know all
about il. The man who would like to
congratulate US on looking wrinkled
up and sour had better put it of.
Vow why should our editorial friend
have skipped the article on How to
Keep Young? He tells us that he
doesn't take any stock in it. but that
is a queer explanation for an editor.
We don't take any stock in his editorial,
bur it interests US. nevertheless. be-
cause il sets US thinking. From week
10 week We look over our Dover con-
temporary not for ideas which reflect
our own, for We rarely expect them
but for tliought-breeders. entertain
ment. examples of extravaganza.
Who would like 10 read newspaper
from day to day and from year to year
that was like a mirror held up to his
own mentality? Why one function OF
an editor to compel people to think
and nothing leads to this more certain
~ thar attacking their own pet hob
bies and the conclusions they have
reached without any brain effort worth
mentioning.
So the editorial in question has
given US pleasure although we don't
take any stock in it. For instance
this editor wants to look old and
gnarled. but he darez anybody to tell
him about Since he is old (Which by
the way he isn'D in the interests OF

PEACE NOT scoREn

THAT there is an effort afoot TO in
a Nolve numerous Issues and possibly
number Of nations other than Russia
and Japan in the peace negotiations is
very evident The Chinese note declaring
that no settlement involving Chinese ter
ritory to which she is not party will
be accepted has been discussed at Wash
ington, and there are newspapers rash
enough to urge that we give countenance
10 Chinese claims.
The Philadelphia Bulletin says: For
Russia and Japan to invade this territory
Chinese. to fight their battles there and
then to come together and agree upon a
disposition OF the territory without CON
sultins China is an absurdity too glaring
to be tolerated"
But China tolerated Russian usurpation:
Manchuria was practically Russian terri
tory when Japan began the war. She
would have remained in possession in
definitely had not the Mikado's troops
driven her out II cost japanese life and
treasure to dispossess the Russians;
Japan staked her existence as an empire
on tho valor OF her armies at Port Ar
thur. Mukdcn and dozen other fields.
She has declared from the beginning that
she proposed 10 return Manchuria to
China. and If she does she will return
what China had lost.
Now for tho United States to inter-
meddle would be to invite trouble and how
our interests are likely to be affected
does not appear.
Meanwhile, the Czar having exhausted
the streams Of advice and sympathy in
France has turned 10 the Emperor VIII
liam. The result Of this conference will
be known only as it may be interpreted in
future events but how Germany can aid
Russia substantially without getting inb
peck OF trouble is not clear
England is yet Japan's ally and should
the emergency arise would be bound by
her word as well as by self-interest to go
to the rescue. England has played a very
dienined part so far. and she will know

COUNCILMAN PosrLss AGAIN.

.EOUNCILMAN Postles may have
~ found by this time that he can't
lift himself over the fence by his boot
straps. He may also have discovered
that the nrmness Of six men entirely
I'm the right is equal to the stubborn
ness Of one man utterly in the wrong.
Councilman Postles doubtless tells
the colored voter that he is standing
up for his race, but his chief concern
Is TO name his son for good Office.
And how much recognition does he
suppose his race will get If those cho-
sen to Office illustrate his methods?
Now Councilman Postles has been
given credit for ordinary sense. and.
therefore, he must see that he is be-
traying the very party which honored
him by an election. There was COM
mon primary and one Republican tick
et He was elected as a Republican.
But when Council meets he sets up his
will against his six colleagues. refuses
to even caucus with them and makes
demands SO unreasonable as 20 be
amazing
But Councilman Postles is not act
ing alone. The selhshness OF his posi-
tion we can understand, but the nerve
TO act the part must have been instin-
ed into him by men who are politically
desperate and are satisfied with mis-
chief since they cannot command. But
We are inclined TO think that the Re
publcans Of Delaware are almost
unit I'm their disgust for games of hold
up. "A square deal" applies TO indi-
viduals and to the party.
Councilman Postles by persisting in
his present course can prevent the
party from carrying out its policies in
Council; he can even help elect DEM
ocrats to the Offices to be filed. He
can virtually undo the work OF the
voters on election day. but he can't
carry through his extraordinary pro-
gram-at least not If the other Repub-
lioan councilmen are Of the character
we think they are.

Philadelphia, July % 5-Omcers Of the
Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron
Company believe that the miners in the
anthracite region will strike before they
will renew the present scale OF wages,
which expires April I next. First Vice
President C.. E. Henderson and Second
Nice-Presidcnt Thomas NJ. Richards ad-
mitted as much when interviewed yester-
day
Nice-President Henderson would not say
that his company is storing large quanu-
ties of coal in anticipation Of the strike,
but he said. President Baer says that

Vice. President Richards who has charge
OF the sales department of the Reading

will he "a strike. He declined to say what
his &C. tpany is doing in anticipation Of
the trouble. but admitted that the stor-
age yards are being filled with anthracite
as fast as IT can bc mined and transport
ed TO the storage plants. The storage yard
at Abrams. near Norristown. is being
filled with small sizes. II has a capacity
of 100000 tons and before winter it is
planned TO have it filed to its capacity.

of the coal corporation and asserted he

LEHIGH RUSHING WORK
When President Thomas of the Lehigh
Valley Coal Company, was here last week
he said his company is rushing work on
two coal storage yards along the Lehigh
Valley Railroad. and asserted that a large
part Of the coal to be mined within the
next six weeks will be stored for future
demand. He expressed the opinion that a
strike was likely to occur, but refused to
discuss how far reaching it might be or
how long it might continue.
Vice President Henderson, of the Read
ing. said his company would not shut
down during the remainder Of this month.
but intimated that a brief suspension
would be ordered in August. President
Thomas Of the Lehigh Valley. said his
company would shut down about ten days
Vice-President Richards returned yester-
day from a trip to New England. He said
that ? storage plant will probably be erect
ed at New Bedford. Mass. and a large
quantity Of coal intended for consumption
in that market will be shipped there early
in the fall. Orders will be filled from on.er
sources. however. and the coal stored will
be kept until next spring.
Members Of the United Mine Workers
in the hard coal field are confident that
their organization will be on better
footing than three years ago. They ex-
pect the soft coal miners to help them
out in event Of contest. and every field
except that of West Virginia can be shut
down If necessary. The West Virginia
mines will be unable to supply the in
creased demand and many industries
would be compelled TO suspend work.
