solely for the purpose OF measuring
the length, breadth, - and depth OF the
boom for Lieut.. Gov. Chanler. of

Charles A. Edwards, secretary OF the
democratic congressional committee.
I'm view OF the noncommittal atti-
tude of the Hon. William J. Bryan,
anent his candidacy again, this Chan,
Ter boom and Chanler talk has be-
come interesting to all democrats
who try to keep their fingers, on the
political pulse. ,N. -.
THE leaders OF ouroparty In con-

Washington are much interested,
and they are anxious to know If the

to iniure permanently the health of
an adult-to say nothing Of the dam
ger OF inducing defective vision or
total blindness. In these days OF
fierce competition and strenuous en-
deavor in the industrial world, a
child needs the best equipment pos
sible for the struggle of life. There
never was time In the history OF
the race when clear vision was more
necessary to the physical and indus
trial welfare OF the individual. 1t

WILL THE RACE GO BLIND?
And Will Moving Picture Shows BE
the Cause?

Will the coming man be blind. He
will. If children continue to go to
moving picture + shows" says the
Southern Lumberman. This Is the
latest edict of science, and there is
every reason to believe that in this
connection a condition and not a
theory confronts sus. The oculists
are all getting rich, anyway, and
every other child you meet is wear
ing spectacles. This proves that &c
centricities Of vision are common
enough az it is. Not having very
strong eyes to begin with, the COM
ing generation wifi be lucky to es-
cape the fate Of the eyeless fish in
the stream in the Mammoth Cave.
According to an eminent German
oculist, the attention OF the specta-
tor in moving picture exhibition
sometimes Is diverted to one field in
the perspective when the laws Of OPP
tics force his gaze to totally diff
ferent point. The strain on the eyes
/ Is intense. Many people take head
ache after spending d few minutes
at the moving picture show. This all
ment is bad enough truly, and yet
1t Is probably the least harmful re-
suit OF eye-strain. Other maladies,
such as general lowering Of vital
ity and gradual upsettlng Of the ner-
vous system, are likely. to retard the

LEWIS IN THE FIGHT.
...s 20 =
For the Vacancy Caused by Resigna-
ton of john mitchell.

Vice President Tom. l.. Lewis, OF
the national organization of United
Mine Workers in an interview at
Bridgeport, Ohio, took occasion to
re1terate that he was in the fight to
fill the vacancy caused by the retire
ment of President Mitchell and also
talked entertainingly Of the prospec-
tive resumption Of the trade agree
ment between the operators and
miners in the competitive field. He
said:
"Probably the most absorbing
question that the miners are inter
ested in now is the nomination Of
officers as a result Of the dS6nite de-
cision OF President Mitchell to re-
tire. H.. 81.
From reports received from all
sections Of the country my chances
are reasonably good. OF course
| there Is nothing more uncertain
than a dead sure thing and for
this reason I am taking nothing for
granted, and will be a candidate for
president and the miners Of the en-
tire country will know this to a GER
tainty within a few days If they do
not already know it.
| while the selection Of officers for
| the organization is an important
, matter, there are other things that
are a great deal more important In
my opinion and one Of these things
/ is the roesta bli3hrnent OF the inter
state movement to arrange wage con
| tracts.
| Invitations have been issued tc
! the operators representatives OF
West Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana
and Illinois to met representatives
OF the miners Of those states Octo.
Der 2 9th at indianapolis. There will
be. such meeting to consider the
question Of issuing call for a joint
convention OF, operators and miners
Of the central competitive field ant
In addition to this to AK q time ant
place when such joint convention
may be held. >.s.< m =
THE first meeting on October
21st will be an Informal one because
the operators will be there at the In

Merger of Coal& Cokeand
Western Maryland
THE TRIP OF DAVIS

The visit yesterday OF President
Bush, OF the Western Maryland sys.
tenn and President Henry G. Davis.
OF the Coal & Coke railroad; With a
large number of officials and stock
holders Of both roads, to Charles
ton on an inspection tour OF the
Coal & Coke railroad, portends to
what many think will be a merger
OF the West Virginia Midland, the
Coal & Coke and the Western Mary
land road. The officials had nothing
to say here yesterday, but because
OF the presence of the engineers, it
IS thought it was to look over the
proposed connections which would
allow other roads to get into the
large coal fields In the central por-
ton Of the state and compete with
the Baltimore e Ohio road.
The same party that visited Char

STAR Correspondence.

Stan Correspondence.
t.I": Washington, D. c., October Ca
The General Convention OF the Prot
estant Epispocal Church has met and
adjourned, with a net result limited
to a temporary adjustment Of the So
called race problem" yet so con-
servatively and ingeniously put as
not to be officially considered such.
In order that local option may be pur-
sned In the matter Of racial contact in
such states or sections where the So
c1al problem is acute, it has been pro-
vided that a suffragan Bishop, with
seat In the House, but without vote
Eor right Of succession, may be con-
secrated, by and with the consent of
the presiding elder of said diocese
: This has direct reference to those
southern communities, like Arkansas,
where the advent of Negroes in the
church on terms Of equality would
tend to drive the whites away. The
solution Of the perplexing problem
Is perhaps the wisest that could have
been evolved at this time, and while
not exactly what the rampant segre-
gationiSts wanted, nor as complete
a victory as the advocates of a full
Bishop for colored work" desired, 1t
is a, step toward local self-govern-
ment which will permit the races to
labor in an atmosphere of harmony
in many quarters where near-strife
ruled before. The conservative char
acter Of the Episcopal church was
maintained In the fact that all of the
mooted problems called up for con-
sideration at this convention failed of
settlement, and aside from the suffra-
gan Blshropric issue, which may be
deemed draw" as to the complex
ion OF said suffragan, the church
stands practically where it stood
prior to the meeting at Richmond.
Divorce, amendments looking to
change of name, elimination of archa-
ic statutes, and All proposed legisla
ton Of positive nature went over"
to the next convention. Wisely or
unwisely, the Episcopal church is an
'Artful Dodger" of superior quality
to any that Dickens could ever have
created.

E, Perhaps three exceptions might be
noted In the contamination OF tan
gible results at Richmond. The no.
torious Bishop Brown, of Arkansas,
who wanted to cast the Negro Episco-
palians into outer darkness was de-
feated horse, foot and dragons" by
the suffrage program; the right of
an ordained minister of other denom-
nations to enter an Episcopalian
pulpit was made allowable upon the
, consent of the Bishop Of the diocese;
and the office or presiding Bishop
OF the American church at large was
established, corresponding to the
Archbishopric Of the English church
The succession does not come by sem
fortty In point Of service, however,
as would be the natural order, but
by election when a vacancy should Oc-
cur. There was a wildcat rumor in
and about the convention that this
: extraordinary rule governing the sue
cession was feverishly provided for

John w. Mullen, Washington
white man, is a hero. To his hon
esty and candor are due the saving Of
the life of at least one Negro, pos
sibly others But for his steadfast
adherence to the truth the State of
Virginia, within a stones throw of
the national capital, would have been
the scene OF terrible lynching-bee.
Not long ago. Mullen was shot and
dangerously wounded while passing
through lonely spot on the Virginia
side Of the Potomac, known as Dead
Mans Hollow" while in company
with a young woman. After Mullen
was shot, and left for dead, the girl
claimed she was assaulted by the
same man who had shot her lover,
and kept prisoner IL the woods for
nearly an hour. Several Negroes
were hailed before her for Identified
ton. She picked out one, whom she
said tailed with the description she
had given. Before the angry mob OF
neighbors could lynch him, however,
he proved satisfactory alibi and got
away. The entire county was searched
for the guilty man, and had any Ne
gro been found, who was unable to
give an account Of himself at the time
that the alleged assault took place,
he would have been strung up, with
out judge or jury. In the meantime,
Mullen, on what was presumed to
be his death bed, declared that his
assailant was not a Negro, and posi-
- ~ no
girl as the man who had shot him.
Later, the father was arrested on sus-
Dicion Of being the guilty party. Ger
tain discrepancies in the girls story
came out under the rigid examination
Of the Commonwealth Attorney, and
the girls testimony as to the Negroes
alleged attack on her was thoroughly
discredited. After much private dis
cussion between the persons at inter
est, in which the "unwritten law
| formed a factor, the case was hushed
up and the suspicious ones we're re-
| leased from custody. Mullen, to the
last maintained that no Negro was
involved, and consented to drop out
Of the matter only upon the assurance
that no Negro would be accused OF
the crime, in which event he would
appear for the defendant. This was
| the stand Of true man. He would
net by silence allow an innocent man
! though a poor Negro, be unjustlJ
condemned. But for his prompt as
sertion that no Negro was connected
