DEFEAT OF O'CONNELL
WAS A MISTAKE
To the Editor of THE TINES:

To the Editor Of THE TINES:
! One Of the biggest bluEders ever COM
mitted by any body of organized labor
ing men in this country was made by the
machinists. in their recent election,
when they elected William H. johnson,
socialist. president of their interna-
tional organization. thereby defeating
James O'Connell for reelection.
James o'Connell has served as presi-
dent of the machinistS international
organization for the past eighteen years.
and has proven a most capable and
conservative leade-, having always
worked in harmony with the American
Federation of Labor. thereby accom-
plishing more good for the machinists
of this country than any leader in the
History of the organization.
The machinists now have as presiden.
a socialist, an agitator. a red flag
bearer, who wants the world and is
fIoundering about in a futile effort to
get II. They have by their rash act
practically closed the doors OF the
American Federation Of Labor In theil
own faces, as that body Of capable, far
seeing men cannot be expected to In
dorse and back up the policies which are
advocated by. the socialists.
What the machinists need is not q
man who holds out to the men an onel
of "alI they produce" but man whc
ia willing and capable of meeting things
as they are and making the best OF 1t
1t is to be hoped that other labor Or
panizations will show mere discretion
In the selection of their officers.

WAYS And Means Committee
May Ask For Four Mil
lion Dollars.

Headed by Chairman Henry P. Blair,
the ways and means committee Of the
Board of Education assembled again
this afternoon to make up Its recon-
mendations for estimates before the
meeting of the board this evening.
The committee held four-hour ses-
sion yesterday but failed to clear up the
many items. Though at first 1t was
hoped to keep the school budget down
to $3,000,000, 1t Is now Thought the
amount asked for will exceed this hg.
ure, and that 1t may reach the AocO,Vo
mark.
Mrs. C. w. Harris, the new member
of the board, will be formally welcomed
at the meeting this afternoon. She be-
gan her work today on her first COM
mittee assignment, that of the commit
tee for the disposal of old supplies, by
making a. tour of a number of schools
and taking an inventory of worn out

was found that many of the teachers
were out of the city, and that other
conditions for determining on suitable
persons for vacancies were not favor
able.
Save for action on the appointment OF
a principal for Mckinley Manual Train

boards time will be taken up by con-
sideration of the estimates.

THAT ELASTIC RULE,
"STEP INSIDE, PLEASE"

To the Editor Of THE TINES:
The above Is the title Of the fare
grabbing enterprises in which the
street-car companies are at present
engaged. They have been operating tho
closed, stuffy, ''pay-as-you-enter cars
all this long, unusually hot summer. II
a passenger desires to stand on the
platform, though the seats inside are
all full, he Is told that 1t is AGAINST
the regulations for him to stand out
side. This regulation, however, appears
to be elastic, for II is enforced only
while a sort of packing process Is go
ing on, that Is. to the effect that pas
sengers are ordered inside until not an
other inch of space can be found there.
Then, after grabbing all the fares pos
sible by this method, all o. sudden
the regulation" prohibiting the passen-
gers to stand on. the platform Is waived
in order that some more fares may De
grabbed by filing the platform.
Recently a lady who was Ill was
forced to go inside when the car was
already packed to srffocation, many OF
the passengers not over clean, but she
was refused the privilege Of standing out
on the platform in the air because Of
this elusive regulation. So she squeezed
inside into the little remaining space.
end afterward saw the platform packed
full of passengers. who by that means
shut out what little air might have
come into the back door.

ital City to be expected to endure such

WHEN SHEBA'S QUEEN GATE
CHISED SOLOMON.

In limiting the time to be devoted
to the cross-examination of Henry Clay
Beattie, Judge Watson declared that
the Queen of Sheba "found out all that
King Solomon knew in two hours" He
thereby calls to mind one of the most
interesting cross-eXaminations in all
history, sacred or profane. We have
not been able to identify the source of
his authority for the statement that
this interesting duel of wits lasted but
two hours, and Judge Watson exhibits
haste or hardihood in thus allying
himself, by implication, with the dis
taft side of the controversy, but the
discussion is one of perennial interest.
The royal witness had much at
stake. The soundness of his observa-
tions on life as he had found it had
won for him an extensive reputation
for wisdom. His impassioned rhapsody,
odorous of myrrh and hyssop, addressed
to the fair Shulamite, had given him
rank among the sweet singers of
Israel With an eye for beauty, he
had acquired what was generally sup
posed to have been a profound knowl-
edge of women.
He would have been shamed before
all the people from Goshen even unto
Damascus if he had been overthrown
in this intellectual tournament by a
woman, though she were Sheba's queen,
Nor was he defeated, according to
the interesting traditions which have
come down to us through Rabbinical
literature. One of the cunning contriv-
ances of Queen Balkis was to dress ten
boys and ten girls all alike and chal-
lenge his majesty to winnow them out
as it were. And here the knowledge
and experience of the man shone with
a luster worthy of his great name
He commanded that water should be
brought and that the boys and girls
should wash their hands. His prac,
ticed eye soon diseovered-what he
knew would be the case-that the ten
girls washed their arms also. The dis,
guised damsels were tolled off without
error; Balkis retired in confusion, "and
there was no more spirit in her"
The letter of the scripture leaves
the impression that after presenting
the wise monarch with gold, spices, ant
precious stones, "she turned and went
to her own country, she and hel
servants But different tradition
prevails in Abyssinia, where it is still
believed that she became the wife o.
Solomon, and that their descendants
early converted to Christianity, reigr
today in the kingdom which Prestel
John and Menelik have made famous.
| All of which being true, it is evident
that her cross-examination of Kinl
Solomon lasted considerably more thar
two hours. We may rather think o
her as sitting at his feet, "hiying wis
dom with the studious years." during
long and happy life, convinced at tn
end, as she had been in the beginning
that of his glory and sagacity the hal
had never been told.
