WASHINGTON, ID. c., Aug. 16.
More trouble for Attorney-Gen-
eral Wickersham! This time 1t is
the Westmoreland county, Pa,
coal strike. A delegation from
Pittsburg has been in Washington
telling the house committee on la
Dor about the refusal of federal
officers to enforce the law against
agents of the steel trust.
Mrs. John Fox and other ex-
perts charged that District Attor-
ney Jordan at Pittsburg and the
encouragement had refused to
act on peonage cases presented
to them.
Postmaster-General hitchcock
Is also involved. 1t is said he
refused to investigate when told
the public was excluded from post
loffices on ground owned by the
coal companies.
Secretary Knox was involved,
too. The murder of alien citizens
(Austrians) was brought to his
attention, but he told the strike
delegation 1t was a case purely
within the jurisdiction of the
state.
Send for the speech of Senator
Robert Owen on the recall of
judges. There are four others
worth reading, too: those of Will
liam Kent of California, Victor L.
Berger of Wisconsin, the socialist
member; Henry Beorge, jr., son
of the famous Henry, and Will
liam G. Redfield of Brooklyn.
Kent is sending to his constit-
uents not only his own speech,
but the three others. He says

About John w. Gates.

His first business venture was
to get third interest in an auto
matte harvesting machine. At the
end of the season he owned the
machine and monopolized bust
ness in his section, near Chicago.
He then began to sell barbed
wire fence. He asked for a part
nership and when refused started
a factory of his own.

Sentiment and sentimentart.m.

To the Editor of The Times-Dispatch:
Sir.-The editorial of the New York
Evening Post on Standardization and
Crime" which was reproduced In your
paper, seems to have been inspired by
q courteous expression OF thanks on
the part OF a gentleman in distress,
for whatever measure OF sympathy had
been manifested. The preachment re-
fuses any ground for sympathy with
the principal actor In the tragedy. and
deplores as sentimentalism any feel
ing but that of utter abhorrence and
a cold blooded desire for the laws

was left free to take It's course; but
people got sorry for man, and some
OF them said so. This is prolific OF, OF

with the Virginia record for not too

may be called sympathy. and without
which life would be q barren desert
and even the penal code travesty.
Sentimentalism is one thing and

Tomorrow night the new plan Of

fore the Common Council for lis mai
action. The result is in doubt, al
though the chances seem to favor
slightly the passage or this measure
which will bring SO much benent and
improvement to the city.
1t ig possible that some CouDcilmep
oppose the plan for new form Of
government on the ground that 1t does
not call for tho submission of the Fire
and Police Boards to the control OF
the administrative board proposed in
the scheme. Such opposition ls M
founded. 1t Will not do to put tos
