MARSHALL FIELD.

Marshall Field, the one man who
thoroughly deserved the much-abused
title, merchant prince" is dead in New
York as the result Of a brief Illness
from pneumonia. For nearly forty
years the name Of Marshall Field has
stood for all that is honorable, all that
is fair and just and honest in business
life, During the course of his long
mercantile career he accumulated one
of the largest fortunes in the United
States, yet we doubt if it can truth
fully be said of him that he ever de-
liberately wronged any human being.
The career of Mr.. Field furnishes one
Of the exceptions to the theory that no
man, in the course of an average life,
can honestly amass as great fortune
as one million dollars. Mr.. Field left
many millions of dollars, and he started
with nothing save a clear head, a strong
heart and a determination to deal just
ly by every man. He began his bust
ness life as a clerk in a general store
BY the sheer force Of his own ability
he worked his way up until at his
death he was regarded as the greatest
merchant Of his time.
There is comfort for every man who
wants to deal honestly in the life of
Marshall Field. Those who bought
goods from him were always sure the
goods were as he represented them; he
always gave an honest dollar of value
for a dollar in cash. It is good to know
that he made this answering honesty
pay, to know that it became a negoti-
able asset with him. Though it was
his rule never 10 borrow money or give
a note, there was never a time after ne
gained his first foothoId that he could
not have had almost unlimited sums on
his simple promise to repay them.
No faint of any sort attaches to the
Marshall Field millions. The greatness
Of his business, the money that flowed
into his strong-bOxes were but the
natural result of legitimate business
methods. accompanied by rare sa-
gactty in knowing what the people
want and Will pay for. His death is a
distinct loss to the entire country, for
ne was a citizen without reproach, a
public-spirited, charitable, manly man.
The hand Of death has fallen heavily
upon the Field family within the last
few months. It was in November that
his only son, Marshall Field, ir., died
as the result of the accidental discharge
of a revolver in his own hands. Grief
over this tragedy may have FASTENED
Mr. Fields end.

KEEP RECORD STRAIGHT.

BY way Of Justification for the dis
charge of thoroughly competent Off
Gals and the substitution of men whose
only qualification is that they are sup
porters Of the American" party, May
or ThOmpson's personal organ says:
And yet, there is a stupendous af-
fectation of horror at the appointment
of Americans to office now that their
officials have come into power, and at
the dismissal of some Of their oppo-
nents. What was the matter two years
ago, when Morris came in as mayor?
Did he respect incumbents? Did he
not insist upon rewarding his friends
at the public crib?"
1t IS not to be supposed that any
body viii give serious attention to
such misstatements but, by way Of
keeping the record straight, it is
proper to present a few facts. When
Richard P Morris became mayor of
Salt Lake City. Frank L. Hines, one of
the most earnest supporters of Mayor
Thompson. a man who had worked his
best to elect Frank Knox, opposing
Mayor Morris, was superintendent of
the waterworks department When
Mayor Morris retired from Office Mr.
Hines was still serving the city as su-
perintendent of the waterworks depart
ment. The place is one that contains a
great deal of small patronage. Yet
Mr.. Hines was not removed, nor was
he in any way hindered in the making
Of appointments or in his honest desire
to render good service.
When Richard p Morris became
mayor, William J. Lynch was chief of
police When Mayor Morris retired
William J. Lynch was still chief of po-
lice We know our contemporary viii
say that the reason Hines and Lynch
were not compelled to make way for
Democrats was that Mayor Morris
could not secure the consent Of a ma

nEPEW's "vINDIcATIoN."

Senator Bracket was the only MEM
Der Of the New York state senate who
voted in favor of his resolution de-
manding the resignation of Senator
Depew when the roIIcaII on the passage
Of the resolution was ordered. The
Democrats, very properly, were ex-
cUsed from voting. Senator Depew is
entitled to whatever comfort he can
get out of his "vindication," and the
New York senators who voted against
the resolution will have a chance later
to explain to their constituents their
stand in favor Of Depew.
It is probable that more votes would
have been mustered for the resolution
if the senator's had thought that its
passage would have the effect of bring
ing about Senator Depew's resignation.
Mr.. Depew has demonstrated, however,
that in political matters he is not thin
skinned, and he would have paid no at
tentiOn to even a unanimous request
for his resignation. The defeat of the
resolution is not, however, important.
The important feature Of the affair
- Tie leDCJ JIlddL II was pOSSlDI0 LOT SuCn
a resolution to receive serious consid-
Grafton. Senator Depew's usefulness to
his state and to the country has been
eVerlastingly destroyed. If he ever had
any influence in the senate-which is
extremely doubtfuI-that influence has
been lost. He will sit in his place, a
weak old man with a furnished reputa-
ton, and vote right on questions in
vOlving the interests of the corpora
tons in which he and his friends are
interested. 1t would have been better
United States senate, and infinitely bet
ter for the state he misrepresents.

MITcHELL's SOUND TALKS.

John Mitchell. president of the United
Mine Workers of America, made a
strong point when, in his address at
the opening of the seventh annual con-
ventiOn of that organization at In
dianapolis, he replied to the argument
of mistaken union men that the Mine
Workers are wrong when they tie
themselves up with trade agreements
and so render it impossible for them to
strike at any time during the life of
such agreements. Said Mr.. Mitchell:
'They lose sight Of the fact that if
We had no agreements and were there
fore at liberty to strike at our own
sweet will, the operators would have
precisely the same right
In the power to make agreements
and the desire to keep them lies the
permanency and the prosperity of
union labor organizations in this coun-
try. The unions that have grown in
power and in influence are the unions
that deal fairly with their employers:
that live up to their contracts to the
last jOt of both letter and spirit. In
stances there have been of strikes by
union men in spite Of wage agree
ments, but we believe they have in
variabIy resulted in failure.
A great factor in the winning of any
strike is public opinion. Almost invari-
ably the side that enjoys the confidence
of the public is the side that wins a
strike, and just as often the side that
has the great weight of public opinion
with it is in the right, for It is rarely
that the public can be committed. in
an affair Of this kind, to a cause that
is inherently wrong.
Labor unions should. by all means.
make contracts with their EMPLOYERS
and they should live up to them. It is
the only effective means of putting the
union on a business basis. The en-
ployer may break his contract, true
enough, but when he does he gives the
union the right to observe or disregard
its agreement as it sees fit. A contract
broken by one party to it is broken as
to all concerned.
John Mitchell has become proni-
nent figure in the labor world, and he
has made the Mine Workers a great
organization because he believes in car
rying out all obligations. Mr.. Mitchell
IS far too conservative to suit many
union labor men, but those who read
the history Of the union labor move
ment must acknowledge that the con-
sentative leaders have been the contfn-
uousIy successful leaders.

jority of the council to remove them.
Now, it is a matter Of common knowl-
edge, and we believe the statement will
be borne out by several Americans"
who were members of the old council
and who are now in the council, that
Lynch and Hines could both have been
removed within six months after Mayor
Morris began his administration.
In the face Of these facts viii our
morning contemporary persist in its
Misrepresentation? Hasn't it proceed
ed far enough along that line?
