BLIZZARD TIES UP THE EAST
Towns Are Isolated and Railroads
Blocked by Storm From the At
iantic-SnoW Feet Deep.

New York.-A storm OF midwinter
intensity rode up the Atlantic coast

of snow in places in Pennsylvania,
wrecked telephone and telegraph
wires everywhere and tied up hum

Sleet and snow caused much wire
trouble between New York. Washing

ton and Harrisburg.
Washington was almost entirely cut
off from New York during a greater
part of the day, the conditions beng
not unlike those prevailing during the
storm of March 4, 1909.
50-mile gale sweeping Mineola
aviation field brought damage to six
aeroplahes and wrecked six of nine
tents ere ted for the air men.
Terrific gales, driving snow and sleet
across the Hudson and turning the
Palisades into a typical winter land
scape. marked the progress Of the
storm for many miles north of New

collieries of the Suk quehanna Coal

The snowstorm extended to Harris
burg on the west, but in damaging
proportions did not come further east

drowning. Now the tables seem to be
turned to a certain extent, and the
whales hunt the ships. At all events
news comes from Alaska that

such a crushing blow with its power

take to the boats, in which they reached
the shore.

PEACE PLANS ARE REFUSED
STRIKING GARMENT WORKERS
REPuDlATE AGREEMENT.
Citizens Committee Declares TaIoTs'
Strike Is Justified After lnves-
tigation of Trouble.

Chicago Just when everybody
thought peace was in sight the
10000 striking garment workers
turned down almost unanimously an
arbitration agreement signed by
Thomas A. Rickert, president of their
national union, and officers of one of
the largest firms concerned in the
walkout.
The rejection of the agreement puts
the strike back where it was before
the peace negotiations were started.
Simultaneous with the rejection of
peace terms the committee of citizc--s
interested IL the strike several of
them social settlement workers-is-
sued report covering a weeks in
yestigation of the strike troubles.
The report declared the walkout
justified on the grI und of numerous
grievances existing in the various es-
adjustments. The investigators
found the strike was spontaneous in
origin and not the result of dissen-
sion spread by union agitators.
The report closed by recommending
union or shop organization of the
employees for the purpose of dealing
collectively with the employers in the
adjustment Of possible future disturb
ances.
The effect Of the report undoubted-
ly will be to encourage the strikers to
hold out for recognition of the union
and for the closed shop as a condi
ton for the termination of the strike.

STREET NAMES AS MEMORIALS

In Paris. where one may visit the
Street of the Fourth of September, it
will be possible presently to traverse
also the Street of Edward VII. By
designation in the latter instance
France will honor a late great and
good English friend; in the other case
the beginning after Sedan is COM
memorated of the present republic.
Considering the array OF New YORK
streets and avenues running to arith'
metical terms, we are reminded how
far we have neglected memorial OPP
pOrtunities in the naming OF our
thorougfares. Certainly we have hon
ored Washington in New York-sev'
eral times, indeed, in the several
bOroughs, says the New York World.
We have Lafayette in street and ave.
nue., and did have him in boulevard
till Riverside drive was extended. A
few other names we have remembered
of men great in state or nation. There
are preparations, too, of the names
of old local families. But where is
our Avenue of the Declaration of In
dependence? Where our Boulevard OF
the Fourth Of July? Where our Street
OF the Surrender of Yorktown and our
Place of the Emancipation Proclama-
fion. In the absence of such historic
designations for important thorough
fares is a real metropolitan deficiency.
Newer New York offers abundant
chance to remove the fault. But in
stead of suggestions to this end we
have change OF name for fine old
Long Acre square, and proposal Is
actually made to wipe out the famous
old Bowery? We are not senti-
mental people.

A customs official in New York ad'
socates prison sentences for wealthy
smugglers, as he declares fines have
no deterrent effect. This applies to
all rich violators OF the law. Fines
may not please them. but they can
afford a money penalty. when interest
or pleasure tempts them to the break
ing of the law. as a fine simply buys
them immunity from the disgrace OF
jail and the Inconvenience Of losing
their personal liberty. A few Jail SEN
fences IN such cases would have an
almost immediate reformatory effect.

Poor Voters!

Public Business is nobody's bust
ness. Nobody loses directly if it is
managed badly and nobody gets down
to facts about it.
For several months there appeared
signed statements in the press of this
city setting forth the facts in the wa
ter question from the viewpoint of the
Denver Union Water company. These
statements went into the minutest de-
tails of the water business. The his
tory Of water companies here, the
sources of supply, the distance water
is carried, the amount consumed per
day, the cost to the consumer, the
comparison of rates with other cities,
all were given.
The water company says water is
cheap here and makes comparisons.
The Rocky Mountain News says it is
not. The appraisers say the present
plant is worth a kings ransom, and
the News says it can be built for half
as much. Positive statement on the
one hand and abrupt denial on the
other leave the voter bewildered.
This one feature of the discussion
strengthens US in our belief that the
franchise for the next 20 years
granted to the private company is
best We have discussed in previous
issues the weakness of public owner
ship We now point out the weakness
of public ownership advocates. The
one fact that they have contented
themselves with denials Of the state
ments made for the franchise is fatal
to their cause. 1t is said of a good
lawyer, that when the facts are
against him, and the law is against
him, he beats up the bush. This is
just what the Rocky Mountain News
and the municipal ownership crowd
are doing. If they were right thou
sand times, from all human expert
ence we are justified in saying they
are not, SO long as they dare not pre-
sent their case for our inspection. 1t
is easy to say the other fellow is
wrong But that does not prove the
accuser to be right! The people Of
Denver are not so foolish as to believe
Senator Patterson right simply be-
cause someone else is said to be
wrong. Mud-slinging is the last de-
tense of hopeless cause. Sincerely
we believe in socialism, communism,
municipal ownership and every other
dream of the Utopians. But when the
people of Denver are not able to elect
an election commission that will rise
up to the ordinary decencies Of offlce,
much less be non-partisan and fair as
the law presumes they will be, 1t
seems to US hopeless to attempt any
more non-partisan commissions. II

OUR DEMOCRATIC BRETHREN
ARE HAVING A REGULAR OLD
DEMOCRATIC TIME.

| To The Statesman:
For fear that silence may be con-
strued to mean approval, | desire to
correct the attempt of o. T. Jackson
to pander to those in and out OF the
Democratic party who believe that the
Negroes civic and political position in
this great republic OF ours should be

low that of the white American, and
thereby gain the petty fayors of this
unAmerican element. have the best
OF reasons for stating that the Demo
cratic chairman issued no invitations
to the colored newspaper men of the
state to attend the Jefferson day ban
quet called for the white Democracy.
for there Is no colored Democratic pa.
per in the state. II so, diligent search
has failed to locate 1t. There are sew.
eral independent papers, who hay-
given gallant support to the party Blu.
independents are not called in to
straight party love feasts, for said
independents are an uncertain ouau-
tity as to strict party discipline II
not, the name implies nothing. So the
fact remains that Jackson's falsifying
tactics are rank deception foist
upon those he seeks TO pander TO. as
well as a useless. senseless, stig,na;Iz.
ing OF colored citizens by fayoring
caste lines and advising the repudia
ton Of hospitalities that were never
extended. Leave the matter to indi-
vidual volition. The inventor of this
fake has no grounds for merit, and has
since on every occasion advised
against and thwarted every measure
so FAR as he could that would tend to
advance the interests OF colored citizens
and has thereby injured the party as
well as his people. am the kind OF
a Democrat that believes that my par
ty, If not better, is as good as any
other. But we all know that there is
more than one kind of Democrat and
Republican in both parties. Jackson
believes in complete surrender TO con-
ditons as they are; at least he pre-.
tends to, because he thinks 1t will ad-
vance his personal interests. To
surrender the fundamental rights OF
one race is to invite the oppression Of
all. Unjust discrimination will not
stop at the color line. IT will spread,
with noiseless tread, like a dreadful
mallady. Nor can Democracy be
hedged into the narrow confines OF
any race; it is the hope of the people.
Leadership Is not made by tricky
newspaper laudations; 1t is the estab.
lishment of deeds and character.
Therefore, Jackson and all other syco-
phantic trimmers can cry 1t on the
housetops and speed 1t on the light

are concerned am out for Black Men

ment of white men Color has not
