Of organized labor in that city. It is
true that the defense has not vet had

ished to show how criminally that
strike was managed. Graft is lust as

Baer Before and After,

How mems opinions change with
their environment and circumstances is
emphasized by the life of George F.
Baer, the divine agent for the con-
servation Of the coal supply of Penn
sylvania, thru keeping up the price and
charging discriminatory rates for haul
ing it via the Reading railroad.
A correspondent of the Philadelphia
North American has dug up an address
made by. Mr.. Baer before the law stu
dents of the University Of Pennsyl-
vania in 1887 on Gland Tenure, In
that address MIR. Baer remarked: tfIt
(the mineral wealth of the state) has
passed into the hands Of gigantic as
sociations kept together by state char
ters or some cunning called trust,
whose principal stockholders are not
among us or Of us. Daily they carry
OIL our treasures and leave us only
enough to pay the labor which pre-
pares them for and transports them to
the market. The profit which should
enrich our citizens and state goes be-
yond our borders and we receive little
benefit from it. It is thru the manipu-
lation of these associations (trusts)
that men ride to Sudden wealth and
thereby provoke the discussion Of social
problems and the PRONUNCIATION Of the
cries which are at variance with all
sound thinking and past experience -
These evils Mr.. Baer then thought
owed their existence ttto the delegation
by the state Of sovereign powers to
creatures Of the state' Just what Mr..
Baer's plan for handling the coal then
was is not entirely clear. In one part
he limited apparently at the state min
ing and distributing the coal and get
ting the profit for itself and its citi-.
zens. In another he evidently In
Weighs against the PRONUNCIATION Of
false theories which may have meant
theories Of public ownership of the
coal mines.
The point that is clear is that then Mr..
Baers was dead against the trusts which
had cunningly manipulated the coal
market SO that they not only con-
trolled the supply, but also the supply
Of transportation to the market. They

took the highest selling price FOR the
product and paid the lowest buying
price for labor. This could not have
lsbeen dangerous even then had the coal
market sbeen free. The point was that
marketing of coal had ceased to- be
free, but had passed into the hands Of
gigantic associations which had made
trust of the business.
In 1887, says the correspondent, this.
was regarded as the expression Of a
8 'jurist.' In 1906 Mr., Baer would
be obliged to dismiss it as that of a
blatherskite -
Mr.. Baer was born in 1912. In 1887
he was no longer sophomore. He was
a man man. Of IS. He had been practicing
law for twenty-three years and had
already held a retainer as a railroad
lawyer, from which employment. he had
retired on account of disagreement
with the president of the Reading rail-
road. But Mr.. Baer became about this
time the confidential adviser'' Of J..
P1erpont Morgan, and in 1893 he took
prominent part in the reorganization
of the Philadelphia & Reading, and
eight years later was elected its presi-
dent. Coincident with the birth of the
confidential adviser was the funeral
Of the "jurist'' above mentioned, who
Is now remembered by Mr.. Baer only
dimly as a person of immature ideas
with whom he once had mental con-
tlct and whom he conquered and
downed completely. = +,

The Peace Prize for Roosevelt.

The awarding of the Nobel peace
prize to President Roosevelt in recogni-
tion of his services in ending the Rus
so-Japanese war is substantial and
well-deserved tribute to his sincere and
successful labors to that end.
The presidents services in that mat
ter went beyond his taking advantage
Of the fact that he was the only ruler
who could possibly bring the commits
sioners of the two countries together.
They go to the actual fact Of peace
having resulted. It is historically
true that neither party expected to
make peace. Count Witte was openly
and airily skeptical. The Japanese
representatives were more secretive, but
whatever expression did escape them
was no more hopeful than that of
Witte. The president not only brought
the commissioners together and happily
introduced them, but he kept in close
touch with both sides and his sugges-
tons from time to time, made not onl y
to the ENJOYS, but directly to their gov
ernments, assisted materially in bring
ing things to a peace focus at Ports
mouth.
The president lost popularity to an
extent in both countries by his ac-
tivity for peace. Neither side was
pleased with the result. But the SUBJ
stantial benefits Of the peace have al
ready demonstrated themselves, espe-
cially in Japan, which is already seen
to have gained a long breathing time to
put her house in order, to modernize
her government turnout and to
strengthen her industrial position. Rus
STA obtained an opportunity to cope
with interior problems which were
pressing upon the very life of the en-
pire. The world was spared the de-
moralization Of the further continuance
OF the most sanguinary conflict be-
tween two nationsaof such a. fatalist
turn that the butchery Of men ap-
peared to have no influence on their
own public opinion toward the war.
The amount awarded to the president
is a very small commission upon the
amounts he saved each country. 1t
covers the war expenses of each coun-
try, for one-half hour Of one day.
