JOHN MITCHELL.

Chicago Tribune.-Little space Is
given In the news columns of the pa.
pers to the announcement by John
Mitchell, president of the United Mine
Workers, that he will not accept re-
election. There Is less gossip about
his possible successor than there
would be II it were some United
States senator who had given out
word that he was through with poll
tics. Nevertheless the head Of a
great labor union, such as the coal
miners, usually has greater power for
good or i'll than most members of the
senate
The orderly and peaceable march
of industry depends in an increasing
degree upon the character and ability
of the men who govern the different
labor organizations. 1t depends
largely upon them whether there shall
be Industrial peace or war. weak,
headstrong or unprincipled chief may
cost the community and his followers
millions.
1t is not a trifiing matter when a
man like John Mitchell says he is
about to retire to private life. He
has proved himself a great leader Of
men. He has built up national
union out Of unpromtsing material,
and under him it has prevailed in
two contests. Except on these occa-
sions his policy has been discreet and
pacific He has exerted powerful
restraining influence over excitable
lieutenants.
So it is matter Of Importance to
the people whether the headship Of
the United Mine Workers. shall pass
to weak or violent man or to one
possessing the qualities which have
made Mr.. Mitchell a notable labor
leader. A United States senator may
be influential in shaping Legislation,
but he cannot, like John Mitchell,
have a controlling influence over
thousands Of men whose action largely
determines whether or not the coun-
try shall have a steady supply Of n
necessity like COAL

JOHN MITCHELL.

Denver News. John Mitchell las
retired from active service in tho
United Mine Workers on account Of
Ill health. Whether he ever resumes
his duties in that organization is at
present doubtful The News hopes the
doubt may be resolved in the unions
and in John Mitchell's favor. For tho
present, however. and for some time
to come, he must lead the life of an
invalid.
Labor leaders are as various in kind
and degree as any class of men on
earth, but we think there are few
who will deny to John Mitchell a
place among the highest that the
ranks of wageworkers have produced
He was man of peace who was not
afraid Of war. In his long leadership
he has. perhaps, averted more strikes
and greater ones than any Utne1 un-
ion leader has ever DONE He has
also lead some strikes Of notable dt.
mansions, and whenever John Mitchell
went into a strike he was pretty GER
tain to come out with some substan.
tial advantage gained for his people

these but sixty-seven had broken their
word and been imprisoned. CRITICS.
Ing a recent utterance of Attorney
General Bonaparte, Judge Cleland
said:
Some time ago the attorney gen.
eral of the United States said that he
believed that any person who was
guilty of four felonies should be put
to death. | have paroled young fell
lows who have been guilty of many
more than four, and I have seen
them changed from bad to good"
The parole system as practiced in
Judge Cleland's court has proved sue
cessful because the citizens have CIV
EN- proper cooperation. Four hun
dred business men in the district COW
cred by the court call regularly on
the probationers and report to the
judge the progress that has been
made. Unquestionably the ends of
justice are better served by Judge
Cleland's practice than they would
be by the attorney generals plan.

Rudyard Kipling's plan for solving
the Asiatic problem on the Pacific
coast is to keep the Chinese and Jap
aneso out by bringing European i'm.
m,s, ants in. The way to keep the vel.
low man out, he says, is to get the
white man in. If you keep out the
white man then you will have the vel

amount of work the white man won't
do SO long as he can get a yellow
man to do it. Mr. Kipling says, Eng

on his good luck in not meeting any
teams that scared at his machine
When suddenly from turn in the road
there emerged top buggy drawn by
two large young farm horses. Seated
in the rig was an old couple. The man
seemed fully capable of managing any
ordinary team. but these horses, be.
ing young and strong, looked RS
though they could make considerable
trouble If so inclined, and, looking I'M
easy, they veered to one side and
stopped.
This frightened the old lady, who
grabbed hold of the top Of the buggy
with one hand and the dashboard
with the other, and, putting both feet
outside. began to scream. MI. Nc.
Clure quickly brought the machine
to a standstill, shut it off, got out,
and going up to the rig, asked the
old man:
DO you want any help with the
team"
With a smile, the old gentleman
answered.
