Coal Strike Menace.

A tie-up in coal production Is the dark
est menace to the country. The possibiii-
ties of loss and industrial disturbance
are beyond measure. The business
blockade in England is an object lesson
which should be noted here. The manu-
featuring and transport industries of the
country are based on coal. Steam and
coal-generated electricity turn the wheels
Of the world. Trains and steamships,
factories and furnaces and lighting plants
must suspend if the coal supply is cut off.
Two weeks of coal strike in England de-
pleted the stored surplus and paralyzed
land and sea transit.
deadlock between miners and operators
if carried to such a length as to produce
public suffering would result in drastic
federal action. The nation could not al
ford to consider such condition as mere
ly a private matter between employers and
employed. The agitation for government
control of coal mining-perhaps of gov
eminent ownership and management OF
mines-would become loud and earnest
Already too many people are demanding
that the national government shall run
everything. coal famine and the Grip
pling of those agencies Of the complex in
dustrial system dependent on coal would
furnish a powerful argument for this

advantage to everybody, a large catch not
only bringing down the price of fish. but
relieving the demand on other forms of
food.
Time was when the waters between
Washington and the Chesapeake ranked
high prolific fishing grounds. The
business dwindled as the public appetite
grew larger and wasteful fishing methods
were followed. The propagation of shad
and other fish has been carried on sys-
tematically and deliberately, and it is be-
lieved that the results are becoming APP

Prosperity in the lower Potomac valley
depends more than is commonly thought
upon the success of the fishing season.

The Democracy and the NAVY.

For the second time this session the
House democrats will caucus on the sub
ject of the navy. AT the caucus held
some time ago a proposition for two new
battleships was rejected. Economy was
the cry, and economy carried the day.
1t was voted that Uncle Sam could not
stand the expense.
The decision proved unpopular. Sur
prise, indeed. was expressed that a party
aspiring to full control of the country &
affairs should on the eve Of a presiden-
tial campaign take such a position. not
to mention the higher consideration OF
providing properly for a most important
arm of the national defense. Leading
democratic newspapers were prompt in
condemning a policy which they described
as unpatriotic- They declared that II
was neither good politics nor good econ
omy.
They were right. The decision should
be reversed. At least two new battle
ships should be ordered. The expense
comparatively, is nothing. When the
governments obligations are considered
a much larger sum laid out In that way
would be justifled-wouid be economy.
Great importance attaches to the navy
and great national pride attaches to It.
BY all means it should be kept fit and
strong We must guide by what the other
powers are doing in the same line; and
we know what they are doing. We must
keep up with the procession. We cannot

will be ascribed to the influence of the
interests 1t will be quoted as forcibly
illustrating Mr.. Roosevelt's charge that
the interests" have captured the republi-
can party, and that the only way out for
those who want the party restored to its
former independence and usefulness Is to
restore Mr.. Roosevelt to leadership. He
is the chief among ten thousand, and the
one altogether lovely.
The real meaning Of this claim is that 1t
was a dark day for the country when
Mr.. Roosevelt retired from office three
years ago. We are asked to believe that
at that time not a cloud was on the hori-
zon; that, thanks to Mr.. Roosevelt alone,
everything was prosperous and promising.
Then the picture is painted of the
change to Taft, when, as the Roosevelters
assert. a downward course began. Now
we are nearly at the bottom, with conf
dence shaken, business upset the repub-
lican party divided. and thunder generally
to pay.
The Roosevelt claim as to conditions
when he left Office is not in accordance
with the record. To refer to the panic of
1907 is not to indorse the charge that he
brought on that panic. But there was
panic that year, of countrywide influence,
and the effect on business was still OBJ
servable eighteen months afterWard
Instead, therefore, of being dark day.
March 4, 1909, was, in the opinion OF
many republicans and all democrats,
bright day for the country. A popular
exclamation was. Now Wen quiet down
and take our bearings. A period of re-
pose will succeed a period of strenuosity'
and. with man of judicial temperament
and training at the helm, prosperity
should come again.
In a large measure these expectations
have been realized. There has been no
panic under Mr. Taft's administration.
The laws have been enforced. Surely the
interests have not been coddled The
Department of Justice, acting under MI.
Taft's orders, has been active in pursuit
of the trusts, and has scored two VIC
tories in court greater than had hitherto
been won Wherein has Mr.. Taft failed?
What is the authority for the claim that
the republican party under him has de-
faulted?

New York.

At primaries tomorrow New York will
express herself as between Mr. Taft and
MIR. Roosevelt The result is not in
doubt. Mr.. Taft will win. Sentiment
both in the metropolis and upstate is
with him. His course in office is ap-
proved. and his attitude toward the new
issues that have been introduced into the
campaign is especially acceptable.
The importance of this Endorsement will
be considerable. New York is the Empire
state. Her business interests and con-
'nections are colossal. She will have
ninety votes out of the one thousand and
seyenty-two in the Chicago convention
about twelfth. She will speak there
through men of national reputation and
with eminent records of long party serv-
ice. On every account her voice should
receive marked consideration.
