Make way once more for the mln-or

charitably disposed when jostled. and

Southern Republicans.

Asked the other day while in Washing
ton what the effect would be on southern
republicans OF the Presidents renewal of
his third-term pronouncement, II. Clay
Evans of Tennessee said:
Il think that the southern delegations
before committing themselves would do
well to hold back until the republicans of
the north who are to furnish the votes
10 elect a President have signifed their
probable choice of a candidate"
This is eminently sound view and
one that The Star has several times urged.
No man is more competent to advise ON
the subject than Mr.. Evans No man
knows better how powerless the repubIi-
can party is in all but q few of the stat %
south of the Mason and Dixon's line. Mr..
Evans was elected governor of Tennessee
some twelve years ago and counted ont

as Mr.. Evans suggests. be guided by
the sentiment of the party in sections
where the battle is to be fought? 1t Is
indeed duty they owe both to them
selves and to the party; and II they are
not inclined to discharge it. but insist on
making combinations. with the object of
influencing the nomination. the purpose
should in some way be defeated. 1t
should initiate against any candidate In
the debatable states to have it appear
that he is depending for success on votes
In the convention from states where not
a single republican vote in the electoral
college is possible.
1t is no answer to say that the republic
cans in these states are many or them

they are in. Put in Cleveiandese. 1t is

fronts the party. Southern repuoi1cans

ton.

Lord Kelvin.

Often when distinguished commoner
of England is knighted or elevated to the
peerage the world loses sight Of him
under his new name. This Is especially
true in the case Of men who have practi-
cally finished their life work and rest
content with the honors they have gained.
But while William Thomson. the cleo
trician. is well remembered today, Lord
Kelvin, who succeeded him in the same
person in 1892, leaves a name known
In every corner Of the world Of science
and familiar even to laymen. Yet the
Identity concealing title was not bestowed
upon William Thomson until he had at
tanned the age of .sixty-eight years. He
remained active in his laboratory. on the
lecture platform, in the conference room
and in the office, and contributed richly
to the worlds knowledge of electricity
after he had earned the right OF years
to retire upon his ample fortune. he
was inspired by the desire Of the true
scientist to pursue the mysteries or physl-
cal nature to their solutions. and an
nouncements Of new theories. new demon
STATIONS and new discoveries by Lord
Kelvin continued to be made until
short time before his last illness.
A great American and a great English
man combined to make the laying OF the
Atlantic cable a possibility. Cyrus w.
Field and William Thomson co-operated,
each in his own sphere, Field in that OF
business and Thompson In that of science,
until they succeeded in tying the CONT
nents together by electricity. The world
today appreciates much more fully than
ever before the true worth of this boon
to humanity and civilization, and the
names of Thomson and Field are writ
ten high on the rolls of honor. But LORD
Kelvin-to use the later and more familiar
title-did much in science that was not
or Of the nature called popu-
lar He delved deeply into the secrets OF
the electric current, and while at times
the public could not understand or ap-
preciate his work, he was steadfastly
seeking to reach the goal for which the
physical scientist is ever striving, an
understa nding of the true nature OF the
marvellous pulsation which has been har-
messed to service to light the world ana
drive it's wheels and send its messages.

Secretary Cortelyou's Statement.

Secretary Cortelyous statement regard
ing his political position is direct and
digniied and in keeping with his own
straightforward character. There was
nothing whatever in his course during
the life of the foolish third-term move
ment recently given its quietus to justify
in any measure the attacks made upon
him. Nevertheless the statement issued
last night was required by the circum-
stances, which have arisen from condi-
tons entirely outside of Mr.. Cortelyou's
control or range of action.
George b. Cortelyou has made good in
every position in which he has been
placed. and he would fill the office of
President with ability, dignity and entire
credit to the country. He Is yet young
man and II is inevitable that he should
be heard from in the future. His career
has, in fact, but lately opened to its full
possibilities. He has won his way, step
by step, by pure force of merit, and to-
day. at the head of the finances of the
nation, he commands the respect and
confidence of the people in marked
degree.

Cuba.

The best report from Cuba relates to
the census just completed. An increase
of twenty-n mine per cent in the population
since 1899 is shown. That speaks vol
umes. People do not flock to sinking
state. but go where opportunity awaits
them. There are now over two million
inhabitants Of the island-an excellent
start where so many more may yet
find homes Cuba is rich in many things,
and needs only capital backed by push
to become one of the choicest spots
on earth OF course there must be good
and stable government, and that now is
practically guaranteed. We shall with
draw according to promise. and then the
Cubans will make second attempt to
paddle their own canoe. But If that fails
we shall again take charge OF the little
craft, and from that day the sailing will
be done under American direction. Pro-
ionged disquiet in the island is no longer
possible.

Justice Gould's Decision.

In judicial balance. in depth of research
and in temper of expression the decision
rendered yesterday by Justice Gould of
the District Supreme Court in the stove
company injunction suit again. the Fed
Grafton OF Labor must stand as one Of the
ablest deliverances that ever emanated
from that bench While, of course. II Is
disappointing to the labor unions. against
one of whose most potent agencies it is
directed. 1t mus strike the mind Of the
disinterested citizen as a fair treatment
Of a vitality important question.
The boycott is a dangerous weapon
dangerous to the wielder as we'll as to
the object of attack. 1t is designed to
injure a man or combination of men
in business. That it does harm is I'M
questioned. Sometimes 1t destroys bust
ness. Sometimes. however. it arouses
reaction of public sentiment and defeats
its own purpose. In a mid-western city a
few years ago a street railway strike was
to operate it's lines with non-un:on labor,
after going to all possible lengths to Sc
cure peace with the unions. A boycott
was organized. not only against the COM
pany, but against those who patronised

chants who were patronized by those boy
cotted for riding on the unfair Nstreet
car line were themselves placed on the
blacklist of they persisted in selling them
goods. Physicians were enjoined from
attending patients who were under the
ban. The tyranny Of the boycott reached
height that finally forced a readjust-
and declared the boycott. thus conducted,
a conspiracy, and therefore Illegal. 1t
was at once abandoned ana the reaction
of public sentiment was so pronounced
that the strike was quickly ended.
The question of when an act which a
Ran can lawfully perform individually be-
coHes\ unlawful through combination is.

lies inNhe doctrine that combinations may

an Example in point. Three chemical ele-
ments that are themselves individually

without producing results. The instant
all thySe are combined, however, a disas-
rtrous explosion will result
\ 1t Is for the best interest of organized
labor that the boycott should be aban-
deued- II Is under the ban in many states
All for months will remain under the ban
federally under the decision just rendered.
Antagonism toward the process of injunc-
ton as means of judicial intervention
now manifests itself afresh in an avowed
determination to press Congress for legis-
lation this winter on this subject. Posi-
blysbefore the next hearing of the stove
case. on appeal, the battle over the In
junction principles may have been waged
to a conclusion in the national legislature.

For Safer Mining.
from the Baltimore American.

President Roosevelt enpnciated in his
message principle of responsibility on
the part of the railroads for the killing
and manning of their men that is sus-
ceptible OF broad application. Certainly
there is no question Of greater gravity be-
fore the American people than this of
securing the maximum of carefulness by
employers of labor in dangerous avoca-
tons. The late mining catastrophe in
West Virginia. followed by a terrific ex-
plosion In an Alabama mine, resulting in
the death of several score of persons,
makes imperative the investigation of the
causes for such calamities and the adop-
ton of measures for diminishing their
number.

Lord Kelvin,
From the New York Tribune

The contemporaries of great men are
VIGOROUSLY at a disadvantage in attempt-
ing to estimate their genius. But in the
case of Lord Kelvin genius has registered
itself in so many achievements that the
entire world of science was agreed long
before his death that the venerable math-
amatician. physicist and inventor had an
indisputable claim to Immortality Not
even a layman can read the list of the
Glasgow professors theoretical and prac-
teal discoveries without recognizing that
they entftle him to membership in that
small galaxy Of giants who have smoothed
the path Of life for their fellow-men by
wrestling secrets from unwilling nature.
