Jersey Jumpers and Umbrellas.

Jersey Jumpers" they call the thousands
Of men and women who commute" daily
between the Mosquito state and the metrop-
oils. They are always on the go. catching
trains or leaving them. swarming on and
oft ferry boats rushing for the elevated
trains in the city and for the trolley ears in
the country. 1t is said in New York that 1t
is possible to tell a Jerseyman by the pc
culiar bend of his knees, acquired by years
OF the car-catching habit. He Is always
ready for a spring for the last platform of
the train or for the gang plank of the boat.

stinctfvely rushes whenever he gets a Whit

He has the homng instinct. In a degree.
That is. he takes the shortest route for the

Defacing Scenery Not Profitable
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.

While for many years the ordinary man
has been much disturbed over the deface-
ment of natural scenery by immense sign
boards with lurid advertisements he has
been obliged to console himself with the re-
Election that it was business, and there was
no way to prevent a man from making
profits from such a source so long he
paid the bill. 1t now seems that there Is
much diversity of opinion among the
scenery defacers to whether there Is
any profit at all in their advertising-in fact.
most of those who have been interviewed
consider that they may sustain loss.
The matter has been under investigation
for some time by an altruistic body known
as the American Scenic and Historic Pres
ervation Society, an organization which has
done much good Substantially and more by
educating people up to an appreciation of
it's high standards. The society asked the
advertisers bluntly whether they were sat
isfied with their experiments. Most of them
said they were not and that they used a
very small percentage of money set aside
for advertising purposes in this direction.
Others held that the only advantage came
from making some particular article or
brand well known to the people. Others in
tend to abandon the practice soon as
existing contracts expire.
All this applies to flaming posters as well
as to the wooden billboards which disigure
so much of the landscape.

The Alabama Senators.

The Stars Birmingham letter printed
Yesterday gave some interesting informa-
ton about Alabama politics n feature of
the situation worthy of national attention
is the fact that the legislature at its next
regular session Will elect two United States
senator's. and 1t is proposed that Senator'S
Morgan and Pettus succeed themselves.
The term of the former Will expire in
March. 1907. and that of the latter in
March 1863
Let US all second this motion. for what
ever division of opinion there may be about
local affairs in that state the truth is widely
recognized that in her present members of
tn upper house of Congress Alabama pos
scs-rs two officials of exceptional capacity
and influence. Both have passed their
esht.eth year, but both retain full mental
and "A liberal share of physical vigor and
both are as attentive to their duties in the
Senate as members of that body only half
their years. II is. indeed. a remarkable ex-
hibitou of the staying powers of men vino
all their long years have been eager and
active in the battle of life.
Mr. Morgan has been in the Senate since
1SI7-nearly thirty years-and all that time
recognized force in the chamber. The
south has sent no man to Congress since
affairs of the country has been so great A
profound constitutional lawyer, a broad
mirded American, an able debater and an
incorruptible citizen. he has enjoyed the re-
spect of both parties, and served the whole
country in much important business.
Mr.. Pettus came upon the stage much
later and at a time of life when the great
majority of men have ceased to feel the
allurements of political honors But IL he
had been a youngster with his spurs TO win

John Mitchell on Strikes.

Speaking to an enormous crowd at Tama-
qua. Pa. Sunday. John Mitchell. president
OF the United Mine Workers, said:
The workmen must be recognized as a
collective unit. Strikes bad and are to
be regretted. but they do not represent as
great an evil as child labor or serfdom
There are worse things than strikes. where
workmen are recognized as a collective BODY
the danger of a strike is minimized. In the
DituTninous fed in 1893 the union was
recognized and since then we have no
strikes there.
What we want to do is to have the union
recognized in the anthracite region. SC that
we can say to Baer: Here is the labor of
100 COO men and boys. We want so much
for it, and you take it or leave It, and
he will take it. because he can't get along
without u.s.
The right of workmen to organize is past
all dispute. and the value of organza-
ton has been demonstrated many times. In
union is strength. and wage-earners are JUS
tilted in standing together for their own
benefit.
Unfortunately, however for the wage
earners they are often badly advised when
organized. and their organizations made re-
sponsible for improper and sometimes un-
lawful acts. Mr.. Mitchell does not state the
whole case when he represents the anthra-
cite coal miners as saying to the coal opera
tors: Here Is our labor. We want SO much
for it. and you can take 1t or leave it,
That would be very simple proposition.
But the coal operators are not permitted
to leave it, If they reject the terms OF
the men a strike follows. and when they
attempt to break the strike by going else
where for labor, disorder and violence be-
gin. Murder is committed, outrages are
numerous. property is destroyed. and some
thing like anarchy prevails. The situation
becomes a reproach to civilization.
This, we are always told. is not by order
of the unions; and such is true. The great
majority of the men of the unions are
lawabiding citizens But strike, on a
large scale, begets. in the very nature OF
things, an abnormal condition of affairs
from which disorder and riot Inevitably
spring. Among thousands of idle men and
grievance in the spirit of passion and re-
sentiment the more excitabe of this mum
Der are certain to go to extremes and in
volve their more conservative fellows in
their performances. The trail Of lawless-
ness is very soon over all.
Mr.. Mitchell declares that there are worse
things than strikes. There are NO worse
things than have grown out of strikes and
are always possible in strikes, and for that
reason a strike hurriedy called or slowly
and secretly maneuvered for, is a crime
against labor and capital alike.

Peace.

Japan's recession from the points in IS
sue at Portsmouth has insured peace. The
latest conner in the ranks of the great pow
fight bravely and successfully against a
larger nation but that it can meet the -e-
durements of the higher civilization m
the adjustment following the fighting.
Japan has in short. taught the world a
lesson in both military prowess and states
rnanship.
II will doubtless be said by friends OF
Russia that Japan yielded because it was
afraid to continue. that its resources were
exhausted, that it distrusted the ability or
its generals to win more battles. There is
nothing in evidence to prove this assertion
Japans ability in the field was never at
higher pitch. There every reason to
expect another victory to be scored by
Oyama in case the Portsmouth negotia-
lions failed and hostilities were resumed.
The yielding of Japan on the point OF an
indemnity demonstrates that the mikado IS
a man of peace. that the island empire Is
not mercenary conquer1r. Viewed from
every point of equity between nations Japan
was entitled to payment TO defray the cost
of the war 1t had been forced into strus-
gle to prevent the further erc-oachments OF
Russia in quarter from which the Musco-
v.tc was already a menace to Japanese in
t,grity.
The mikado was lighting Russia on the
basis of the worlds needs. Had the car
kept his pledges there would have been no
war He broke them. and has been beaten
at every point in the fighting that followed
II S refusal to pay an indemnity must stand
forever as putting the shibboleth of ma
tional pride and so-cal!ed honor above hu-
mlnity and justice.
Todays results at Portsmouth stamp ia
pan rs a great nation. great in spirit as In
achievements. They mark the Russian pol
icy as selfish and brutal. Verify. peace

An Early-Bird Eclipse.

Considering that there Is so little posi-
lively to be gained from observations of
solar eclipses. 1t is somewhat extraordinary
that scientists continue to travel great dis
tances and to expeud large sums of money
for the purpose OF securing the best van
tage points from which TO view these phe-
nomena. Tomorrow morning instruments
OF great cost. the transportation and es-
adjustment of which represent many thou
sands of dollars Will be aimed at the sun
during the eclipse period from many sta
lions. some of them In burning Africa,
some in bleak Labrador. The eclipse path
is no respecter of persons or of human
comfort 1t trails across the sphere at
the most inconvenient points and puts the
sky-gazers to vast amount of trouble.
But they stick TO their role nevertheless
and burn or freeze in order to get just one
more observation. which may add a mite TO
the sum OF human knowledge regarding the
solar system
The problems which astronomers are try
Ing to solve by means of eclipse studies are
not OF character greatly to interest the
lay public. They cannot be explained clear
iy in terms of popular diction. They re-

Revolutionizing Arbitration.
From the New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune.
Mr.. Bartholdt's model treaty. of which
much has been heard in advance is the
most interesting subject under considera-
ton at the interparliamentary congress at
Brussels, and will doubtless be widely dis
cussed throughout the world. 1t deserves
to be regarded with seriousness and re-
spect an intelligent and benevolent con-
tribution to the cause of peace and prog
ress. But 1t proposes so radical and revo-
lutionary a change in arbitral procedure
and so striking reversal of the principles
of the treaty of The Hague that 1t GER
tainly will not command immediate ac-
ceptance and 1t may meet with the strong
est criticism and opposition among the ad-
voeates of international arbitration.
