There is lesson in the Danbury strike par
ticularly for all men who belong to labor unions
That lesson is that if the unions want to be-
come strong If they want TO win more fights
than they do, let them develop a still higher
standard Of efficiency Of labor among their mem-
bers. Let them require union mon to be always
efficient workmen, far above the others that
employers would rather pay them more and
would seek them for their labor because of their
skill and efficiency. That is what happened at
Danbury. The union men had reached high
grade of skill and proficiency and, therefore,
when they quit work they did not have to worry
about their places being filled by other men
they knew that there were no other men TO be
had as good as thoy were.

LESSON OF A STRIKE.

A SETTLEMENT of the Danbury, Con-
\ necticut, Hatter's strike is expected. Ne
gotiations are pending for ending the trouble.
The strike has been long and tedious extending
over some months In the settlement the strik-
ers will probably get most Of what they have
asked for But the result of the Philadelphia
strike and the probable result of that in Dan
bury shows that sometimes points are gained by
striking. Danbury is the center of the hat max
ing trade of the United States. The manufac-
turers Of hats were leagued together 10 stand bv
one another A dispute developed and a strike
followed 1t has been suspected that tie Dan
bury strike was part of the plan Of the Manu-
facturers' Association 10 make a general war on
the labor unions wherever there was a chance
to do so. The Danbury strike was not accom-
panied by any violence. The hatters merely quit
work and stayed away from the mills. They
were said to have been on friendly terms with
their employers.
The question is, Why didn't the manufacturers
fill the places OF the strikers and proceed with
business as before? They tried 10 do this but
they had hard task. They could not get hat
tiers in sufficient numbers. Hat making IS
described skilled trade and when the hat
ters quit the manufacturers were at their wits
end. They needed skilled and efficient work
men and they could not aet them. So they be-
came weary Of trying TO run with inefficient men
and negotiations for peace were begun. Long

AUTOMOBILE REGULATION.

Automobiles have rights on the roads as
well as drivers of horses pedestrians. No
body disputes that the motorist is entitled to
his share of the road and to all the courtesy and
opportunity for pleasure within legal bounds
much as any horseman or any person tramping
along the highways. The horseman is required
out of fairness to yield a share of the road to
the autQmobilist, and motorist legally is
quired to reciprocate Neither is entitled under
the law to be road hog We believe a great
portion of the automobilists of Wilmington and
vicinity have a due regard for law and for the
rights OF drivers Of other vehicles. But it is the
reckless motorst, who delights in shunting
along at a speed of forty or more miles an hour,
who never slacl1ens his Tuggernaut pace when
whrling past frightened horses, and who thinks
the highways were created for him and for none
other who is bringing the brunt of public dis
ptasure down upon motorists in general.
Motoring has its good side and its pleasures,
and excessive speeding is not essential to this
enjoyment. There is a temptation TO exhiirat-
ing speed for the motorists and it oft-times is
yielded to, but it is no time or place TO resort to
extreme speed when horse is within sight or
where pedestrians frequent roads. The sooner
this is realized the better it will be for the au-
tomobiists in general The rational side OF mo-
toring was revealed in the Delaware Automo-

Why are not women ordained for the

The bars Of centuries should be let

There are women missionaries. Bible
teachers. deaconesses. Why not let
them win laurels in the ministry? Let
there be power to ordain women.
Do you wish to hll the empty
benches. then let us have women
preachers. Surely women are contro-

prejudice.
DO the men go to chuch now as for

Let some metropolitan church pay
some woman a good salary, and wit

The equity Of the sexes is laid down
in the Scriptures. The exclusion OF

Brooks Story, arrested at the New
Orleans Northeastern depot yesterday
for carrying a pistol, was arraigned in
police court this morning. He was
represented by Attorney Watkins, who
proved to the satisfaction Of the court
that Story was returning from a trip
beyond his mountaineering, hence he
was discharged.
Ben Tatum, one of the trio of ne
groes who entered the home of Steve
Williams several days ago and captur-
ed bottle of whisky, was fined $25
ard sentenced to 25 days on the
streets. His two acoomplices will be
tried tomorrow morning
Mr.. 0. e. Tut, who is alleged to
have slapped Mary Bethea, a negro
girl, was discharged. 1t was shown
by the evidence that the girl was push
ing baby carriage into the gutter
when Mr.. Tut called her attention to
it. She cursed him for his pains and
the chastisement followed. Judge
Davis has babies of his own and was
frank in his opinion that the girl ought
to have been slapped.

THE LUMBER TARIFF.

Dispatches from Washington today
announce the positive fact that the
ways and means committee has recon-
Inended a reduction of 81 in the duty
on Canadian lumber, and there is little
reason to hope that the measure will
be favorably amended on the floor Of
congress.
But the lumbermen of the Hatties-
burg district had expected as much. 1t
has been evident for some time that
the duty on Canadian lumber would be
reduced, and there will be general con-
gratulations that the reduction was
not greater.
Now that the question is settled, 1t
is believed that there will be a marked
improvement in lumber conditions.
At any rate, the mill men of the
Hattiesburg district now know what
to expect, and they can make their cal
culations for the future with some
degree of certainty as to the result.
