Coal Strike Conflict.

The hard coal situation in PENNSYLVANIA

dition of absolute danger To the public Sc
cGrity. There has never been anv real

mine owners and the workers were of a

were presented long time before that
date. and the negotiations were allow ed to
proceed with the usual leisureliness until
the year had actually expired before any
serious attempt was made TO get tosether
on a new working basis. The operators,
having a stock of coal in reserve, were
willing TO take chance on a strike OF
Pew weeks In order to market their sur
plus at advanced prices. The leaders of
the miners organization. having a few
hundred thousand dollars in strike funds
were willing to let the case go TO "sus-
pension" in order TO maintain the union

last about one or two months and that a
new contract would be negotiated where

sessions. But owing TO the internal poll

Probably the business men of Washing

lied for their contributions to the build

Moral Prophylaxis.
81 I.,,ts pos,-DIsnatcb

From the ST. Louis Post Dispatch.
Archbishop Glennon is right in warming
the social reformers that scientific
know ledge will never take the place OF
moral instruction in guiding men and
women to right living. Natural science
is invaluable as revelation of the laws
of the material universe. 1t reveals the
consequences of the violations of material
laws and supplies safeguards against
physical evils. But it never takes the
place of moral Judgment. Funda-
mentally, every problem of human
life and conduct is moral ques-
ton and its decision is weighty with con-
sequences to the individual. Life, health
and success may depend upon it. When
the young are carefully instructed in all
that concerns their physical life and
functions, as they should be, they are ill
equipped for. the battle of life unless
they have the spiritual comprehension OF
right and wrong, of good and evil which
makes for righteousness. The inner
light Is the only true guide 10 the path
way Of well-being and happiness in their
largest sense. Civilization fails and So
eiety rots at the core when fundamental
moral truths-the things of the spirit
are thrown aside for the things of the
material world.

Lorimerism at Chicago.

If there are men who think that the
Chicago convention can be Lorimerized,
and are planning a movement TO turn the
trick, they would DO well to take second
thought. An intensely white light VIII
beat on that meeting, and the schemer
who gets away with any skuldusgery
will be an artist. indeed.
1t is the contention of certain support
ers of Mr.. Roosevelt that delegates to
Chicago chosen before the fight between
him and Mr. Taft warmed up, and who
were instructed for Mr.. Taft. should not
feel bound by those instructions now, or at
the convention next month. New con-
ditions have developed Then there was
practically but one candidate. Now there
are two. If with Mr.. Roosevelt in the
ring they prefer him to the President
they are at full liberty to support him.
And so forth.
That is one way of putting it. Shrewd
politicians for shrewd devices and shrewd
explanations. They may be depended
upon to offer sort of reason for any
act of their own. or any suggestion they
may make to others. on any matter.
But that reason would not cover a
change from Taft to Roosevelt at Chi
caSo. Why was Mr.. Roosevelt late in
entering the contest? What influences at
last induced him to enter? What infiu-
ences are behind him now that he is in,
and will have countenance at the White
House If he returns there?
When Mr.. Taft was Endorsed his atti-
tude toward public questions was we'll
known. 1t has undergone no change
since. If he was worthy in February or
early March he is worthy now, and will
he next month at the nominating conven-
ton. There was no string to his indorse-
ment. No delegates then chosen said II
am for Mr. Taft as matters stand, but
reserve the right to vote for another man
il in my later judgment better becomes
available.
For this reason-that no conditions or
reservations attached to the instructions
then given for Mr.. Taft-delegates at Chi
cago will be held to strict accountable
ity for their course. The man who shifts
his foot must show why. A mere procla-
nation about patriotism and reform will
not suffice. The louder he makes that,
the stronger will be the suspicion aroused.
We deride the poor devil who sells out
for spot cash. But his offense, bad be-
yond defense. is not as great as that of
the man who sells out for Office, or as
party to a bargain about legislation. The
first act Is complete with the delivery
of the vote and the passing of the coin
The other act is but the first in drama
OF corruption. which before the final cur
tain may involve many persons and wreck
many regulations.
In Roosevelt circles one-third of Mr.
Taft's southern support is tagged as
''mercenary,'' and certain to desert at
the convention? What is to be the in
ducement? Or is there but one induce
ment for the ''mercenary'? Is Roosevelt
ism to be made thus synonymous with
Iorimerismp

Is He to Be Envied?
The New York Herald.

From the New 1Ork hfTdiu.
j Just now the young man on whose
slender shoulders the burden of the vast
Aston possessions has suddenly descend
ed is an object of envy To a vast num-
Der of those persons who think so super
icially that they do not take into ac-
count the awful and saddening tragedy
to which lie owes his inheritance.
There are, however, a few philosophers
of the small group that constitute the
simultaneous school of thought who
know only too well that the youth upon
whom so much responsibility has de-
volved is to be pitied rather than envied.
That he will be obliged to devote the
chief energies of his life to the con-
servation of his great property is one
of the least of his troubles Known to
the world as the head of family whose
name is synonymous with great wealth,
he will find himself at an impression
a BILE age face to face with every form
of sycophancy, fattery and servile
homage that the crafty human mind can
devise. Doubtless he has already en-
countered some of this, for even college

democracy, is not altogether free from it.

This is the stage of an industrial con-
fiict at which it either develops rapidly
into actual warfare or is suppressed and

the ground in advance of widespread

point to point, until the purpose of the
