Do Now.
(py Associated press.)

PITTSBURG, PA, July 20.-The
first effort on record in the United
States to stop strike by enjoining
both the principals and the common
wealth failed today when Judges Ford
and Brown, of the common pleas court
sustained the demurrer of the Pressed
Steel Car Company to the petition for
injunction made by the Public De
Tense Association of Pittsburg, against
the company, the striking employees
and the sheriff of Allegheny county.
For the strikers, who admitted the
conditions as set forth by the petition
ers. and who joined in the demands
az the Defense Association that the
court force arbitration upon the COM
Pany officials, it was argued that 1t
was high time for the courts to inter-
fere. Fer the Defense Association it
was argued the strike is costing tax
payers much money and great un-
easiness. Fer the company it was
argued that as the petitioners are not
injured personally. and the corporation
is not one OF public service. but pri-
yate. the courts cannot interfere.

were universal in their opinion that
Judges Ford and Brown were entirely
within legal right in their ruling.
The decision does not, however, tend
toward making the situation at the
Schcenville plant of the Pressed Steel
Car Company at McKee's Rocks any
better.
When the strikers heard late today
that they had lost their standing in
court and again we're facing the COM
pany without an arbitration council in
sight. ugly rumors were circulated
as to what the car company officials
might expect from now on in the way
Of riCting and general disorder.

Did Tbey Expcct Him Back?

One little incident which happen
ed not more than ten days ago will
serve to show that in some ways
the open saloon is benefit. 1t was
after 10 O'Clock, and the night was
stormy and clustering. A telephone
call came into one of the principal
saloons on Main street, asking that
a policeman be sent in a hurry to
one of the resident portions of the
city; stating that there was man
up there trying to get into houses
and peering through the windows.
One of the proprietors went outside,
and not seeing policeman in sight,
stated the case to some men who
happened to be in his place Of bust
ness. In less than a minute three
men were rnning toward the resi-
dence from which the alarm was sent
in, and got there just in time to
see the fellow disappear over the
hill. They waited around in the cold
for over an hour trying to get him.

In the first place such strong

whether or not another train is

such candle power produces a

The railroads are always on the
alert to improve their safety de-
vices and it is because such a light
as this seems to be real danger it
is opposed. The cost Of it would not
be any very great item for road,
but companies that have put in such
headlights are removing them, as
they do not prove satisfactory.
When it is considered that the pres
ent headlight is only between TWEEN
ty-five and fifty candle power, with
the reflector, 1t will be seen that a
fifteen hundred candle power, meas
ured without reflector would be so
strong as to be merely glare and

A p,nnoter nf pear.

| Hamilton college has received q
gift Of 100000 for what is to be
known as the Root Peace Fund. The
donation has incidental interest be-
cause it puts another of the smaller
colleges in good financial condition.
A movement to pay off the floating
Indebtedness has been successful. A
conditional gift OF. fifty thousand
dollars Is assured by the receipt of
the larger amount mentioned. The
millions received by large univer-
sites attract general attention.
That smaller gifts are making many
of the colleges of the country COM
Portable is a fact not so we'll adyer-
tised.
This incidental consideration how
ever, is overshadowed by the larger
significance of the newly established
fund. In his address before the
Hamilton club at it's Appomattox day
banquet, the secretary of war re-
view some of the steps in the pro-
gress of peace. He emphasized the
part played by the United States dur
ing century, showing steady ad-
vances, even when things appeared
discouraging.
The various aspects of The
Hague conferences were described
in such Illuminating fashion that
those who heard the address were
ready to recognize the good judg-
ment displayed by President Taft in
the selection of the head Of the war
department. In this description
which was strengthened by apt illus
tration and citation, the growth of
the arbitration idea was clearly set
forth.
When the statement was made
that nearly a hundred conventions
had been arranged since the adjourn
ment of the second Hague confer
ence, and that of these the United
States through Elihu Root, had
signed more than one-fourth, the
appreciative applause indicated the
generous recognition of the contribu-
tion made toward the progress Of
the worlds peace by this distinguish
ed alumnus of Hamilton college. The
habit of thinking of peace rather
than war is growing everywhere.
There is just reason for qualification
because our country has been so ac-
tive in the encouragement of this
habit. There is peculiar satisfaction
to be gained from the establishment
of fund to commemorate the
achievements of such a friend of
peace as Elihu Root.-Chicago Tri-
bune.

RULING FAvoRs SALOONS
Majority of Those Casting Ballots
Sufficient for q License.

WATERFOWL, S. D., April 20.-A
decision of great interest to the sa-
loon men of South Dakota was hand
ed down today by Judge George H.
Marquis, of the Sixth judicial cir
cult. The ruling holds that it is
not necessary to have majority of
all the electors of town or city in
order to issue liquor license, but
that a majority of all voters who
register at the polls and cast bal
lot is sufficient.
The case came up from Goodwin,
small town near here. There
were sc votes cast, As of which
were for license. The temperance
people brought an action to enjoin
the town board from issuing a
license on ground that As was not
majority of all the qualified cleo
tors of the precinct. The court held
that the only basis upon which the
number of qualified electors" could
be determined was upon the num-
Der of voters who registered at the
polls on the day Of the election.
The decision also holds that a
blank ballot upon the liquor ques-
ton is vote against license, there
by declaring that license must have
a majority Of all votes cast-in, order
to win.
