Wages Must Fall, Says Erios Head.
Gives Warnigg Tha, General Reduction in
Price OF Labor Is Inevitable.

Frederick ID. Underwood, presi-
dent of the Erie Railroad Company,
declares that Samuel Gompers, head
of the American Federation of La
Dor, was reckoning without his
host when he said, as quoted, that
the wages Of organized labor
would not have to come down
along with the prices of raw mate
rails in the present general business
and financial depression" ."
"Tbe inexorable law of supply
and demand, which is the basis of
political economy" said Mr.. I'm.
derwood, Twill make itself felt in
the case of organized labor, as we'll
as in all other branches of business,
Mr. Gompers, Notwithstanding. In
case an attempt is made to hold up
the present abnormally high price
of labor, when the earnings of rail-
roads and industrial corporations
Go not warrant it, the alternative
will be TO shut down.
Labor has been at a premium
for the last four years, and it has
been less efficient than ever before.
All'classss of employees have point
ed to the heavy earnings and i'll
consequence have received their
share in the shape of higher wages.
Now change has come. Earnings
are falling off and employees will re-
Ceive a lower wage. This they
should do without protest, as they
had the precedent that when earn
ings were improved their wages
were advanced"
Mr.. Underwood added that the
drop in the cost of living gives the
waee-earner under a reduced scale
of wages the same purchasing pow
er he had in the past.

State Reservation.

A I3,ooo-acre tract has just been
purchased to be added to the state
reservations. These lands, for most
part, are in Abbott and Stewardson
townships, Potter county, though
portions of the same break over into
Lycoming county, and these too,
will probably be acquired. The
lands were purchased from James
B. Weed & Co., oil Binghamton,
N. Y. They are contiguous to the
old Coudersport pike, and out OF
them flow such famous trout streams
as Silas Run, Lebo Branch, Manor
Fork and Red Run. The purchase
price was at the rate of s. an acre.

Local Option Movement Non-Partisan
Thirty million Of Couniry's Population Today
Live Under Anti. Liquor Laws.

The Philadelphia Press in an cd
itorial says: The spirit of prohibi-
,ion, like the soul of John Brown,
goes marching on. State after state
has joined the column of dry"
Commonwealths. At the present
time more than 80, 600, 600 of the
country's population are living un.
der anti-liquor laws. In some
states the new statutes not only for
bid the sale of Intoxicating liquors
but punish the persons who drink
them. One of the amazing fea-
lures about this onward progress
OF the temperance crusade is the
easy victory It has won in many
places. Southern states have been
especially active in their efforts to
suppress retail liquor selling. But
a still more remarkable thing is
that while more than third of the
nations people are now in the pro-
hlbition fold the movement lacks
partisan p,litical interest. As a
political agency the Prohibition par
ty cannot claim a tenth OF the votes
which were cast against the com
merce in strong drink Democrats
of the south and Republicans Of the
west have lined up under the same
temperance banner, but OH all other
issues they follow their regular par
ty standards. If this were not the
case the fact that so many states
have given big inajori,ies for prohi.
bition would inject a new element
of great uncertainty into the next
national campaign. AS it is, the
two dominant parties have accept
ed prohibition as a common cause
in various states, while they will
continue to fight out other issues
along the old lines.

Fatalities In Mines.

In this country the mortality III
mines is increasing not only abso-
lutely but relatively. 1t will con-
tiDue to increase unless mining COM
panies and mining officials shall
change their methods. AS DR..
Holmes, Of the Geological Survey,
says, the mines are going deeper,
which means more gas, because the
coal is under heavier pressure, and
more difficult ventilation. Have we
got to face a constantlygrowing
sacrifice OF human life ia order to
provide our coal?
England, France, Belgium and
Prussia have extensive coal mines
England, of course, having the
greatest in the world. In all these
countries the death rate is much
lower than in this country and
what is Of still greater Importance,
it is steadily declining, What can
be done there can be done here.
Shall we say that means of protect
ing life which are employed with
success in Europe are too much
trouble or cost too much for us D.?
DR.. Holmes visited a Belgian
mine and although he went as the
accredited representative Of the
United States, he was obliged 10
strip to the skin and change his
clothes. This made sure that he
did not carry matches into the mine.
That is the sort of care that is taken
to save hundreds of men from the
folly or the recklessness of one.
Yet i'll this country men even carry
naked lamps into mines. Probably
there is notice prohibiting it and
the company feels its responsibility
is at all end when it has tackled up
such a warning; if the men do not
obey it, that is their lookout. But
suppose that 4eo of them obey and
one man does not? 1t is the busi-
ness of the mine operators and of
the State officials who are employed
to supervise mining to see that the
regulations are obeyed 1t is idle
to pretend that the fatalities in our
mines are inevitable. If the death
rate in Europe can be kept down
to little more than one man in a
thousand it is objectionable that it
should be more than three men in
a thousand here last year. Four
terrible disasters this month will
make the ratio for 1907 worse than
that for I9oo.-Er.

Anent the Democratic National Con.
ventiOn.

In selecting a place for the ma
tional convention the Democratic
national committee was pretty ever-
ly divided between Denver and
Louisville until the committeeman
who had voted for Chicago gave
their ballots to Denver and made
that the convention city. The selec-
tiOn is not above criticism by the
easterners. The city is so far to
the westward of the centre of popu-
lation that most of the delegates
will have to travel a fatiguing dis
tance to reach it. Other things
being equal, perhaps Louisville
would have been a good selection.
The date selected-July was
unexpected also. There had been
some talk Of holding the conven-
tion before the Republicans meet at
Chicago. In most American cities
the weather is intensely hot about
July 7, but Denver, which is ele-
waited almost six thousand feet
above the level of the sea, with snow
capped mountains nearby, and with
perfect climate, may not be eX.
cessively hot about that time. Be-
sides, the large purse raised by
Denver, and the city's other efforts
to get the convention, doubtless in
huenced the committee in making
the selection. Whether the whole
of the purse of SIoo, 900 will be
needed is another matter, and one
that needs no discussion. The
money will not be wasted for the
sake OF spending it.
AS to whether date before or
after the Republican convention
should have been selected, there is
nothing to make either time more
desirable than the other. If it be
argued that in the first case the
campaign would be too long, it
may be answered that the CAM
paign is on now. If objections be
made to publication of Democratic
issues after the adoption of Re-
publican platform, it may be said
that the Republican issues have al
ready been published in the presi-
dents message and are already be-
fore the country There is nothing
new for the Republican convention
to declare for. .-LOck Ha1eH Demo-

DECEMBER 26, 1907
PENROSE AND THE SENATORSHIP

The political spectators are al
ready sending out funny stories
about the approaching contest for
the United States Senatorship in
this State. A Harrisburg dispatch
in a recent issue OF an esteemed
Philadelphia contemporary, for ex-
ample, contains the amusing misin-
formation that Senator Penrose is
trying "to pull Representative
Dunsmore, Of Tioga county, out of
the congressional contest, in the
Lycoming, Potter, Tioga and Clin-
ton districts" in order that he may
be reelected to the Legislature and
become Speaker of the House of
representatives. Penrose needs
'1ch man for Speaker, it is infer
ally added, and he will create
place for Dunsmore by sending
;lnk B. McClain, of Lancaster,
,on he distrusts, to Congress, to
iced Mr.. Cassell, who is no lon
ger available.
At this distance from the storm
centre of Republican politics it looks
as if Penrose has "cinch" on the
senatorial nomination and that there
is little. if any, necessity for him
entering into combinations or con-
spiracies to accomplish the result.
The election of Mr.. Sheath to the
Office of State Treasurer last fall
settled that question beyond the
shadow of doubt. 1t is not i'm
probable that he would like we'll
enough to have Representative
Dunsmore in the chair during the
session of the Legislature in which
the senatorial vote will be taken.
Dunsmore is faithful to the ma
chine, adroit, capable, and has
maintained a reputation for re
spectability that is rare among ma
chine henchmen. Penrose needs
such a man for Speaker now Just as
he needed such man as the candi-
date for State Treasurer, last fall.
1t is the only way he can fool the
public and as the public likes to be
fooled, it is wise policy for Pen
rose to pursue. But Penrose doesn't
need Dunsmore nearly as bad as
Dunsmore needs Penrose and if the
slippery Hogan withdraws from
the congressional fight in order to
become Speaker of the House, it
will be on his own account.
The probabilities are that Frank
McClain will go to Congress as the
successor of Cassell, but he will not
be influenced by desire to make a
place for Dunsmore in order to helr
Penrose. McClain has been casting
covetous eyes toward Washington
Tor some years and the indiscretions
OF Cassell have opened up the way
to the realization of his ambition.
Even 1t he returned to Harrisburg
moreover, he wouldn't be in Duns-
more's way for the speakership as
about the only accuracy in the long
drawn out collection of absurdities
is the statement that Penrose dis
trusts McClain and whether Duns,
more goes back to the Legislature
or not or whether McClain goes tc
Washington or Harrisburg, the
Lancaster song-bird will not preside
over the deliberations of the House
during the next session.
