A Years Strikes in One State.

In the 81 important strikes which
occurred in the state of New Jersey
last year the aggregate loss of wages
was 81, 966, 547 There were nine pend
ing at the time the report of the state
bureau was compiled, and of the 9TH
ers Is We're successful, 10 partly so,
and So were total failures. Less than
half of the strikes directly concerned
the question of wages. The figures do
not differ greatly in their percentages
from the records which have been
compiled in other states or for the
country at large. a recent annual re-
port of the state of New York showed
but about half of the industrial dis
putes, and less than one-third of the
total number of employees affected, in
matters relating to wages. OF these
less than third were won by the
strikers. about the same number were
compromised, ana much more than a
third were total failures.
Where there have been available
state boards of arbitration, or where
there has been mediation or arbitra-
ton by specially created boards, it is a
matter of record that the direct gain

to the workers in wage payments Sc
cured through these methods has been
greater than the total of increased
wages gained by the violent method of
the strike. And there is to be added to
this the wage-earning power that has
been conserved during the period OF
investigation and arbitration.
The protest against strikes has been
based largely on the public interest.
The wiser labor leaders are paying
heed to that, but the man who doesn
see so broadly and so far ahead as to
comprehend the public interest ought
to be able to figure up the certainty OF
lost wages which q strike involves
against the mere chance OF increased
pay which a successful outcome may
bring. and determine for. himself
whether a strike pays when means OF
arbitration are at neutrality-suspicious.

That's a pretty argument that the
Journal repeats TO the effect that the
men elected to the Legislature as Re-
publicans should elect someone else TO
the L. S Senate than the man nomi-
mated thereto by the Republicans at
the same time that they nominated
those very members of the Legisla-
ture.
The result of that primary was I'M
questionable that the Republicans OF
Maine preferred Burleigh for Senator.
So that if nothing political had hap
pened but the election of the Leglsla-
ture, those Republicans elected would
have no excuse for refusing TO elect
BurIeigh. But something else poiiti-
cal did happen. The Republican party
was broken in two; the boiling wing
nominated Roosevelt in the Preslden-
ton election the boilers had more
votes than the regulars. The Jour
nal would have the Presidential elec-
tbn treated as a supreme primary
primary of appeal-setting aside the
June primary.
Pretty! But let's follow it out. True,
that the Presidential election showed
more votes for Roosevelt than 1oi
Taft; but it showed at the same time
more votes for Wilson than for either
Taft or Roosevelt. Then If the Presl-

is that not Burleigh, nor the someone

some other candidate. Now if that

as TO be the reproaeh of all fair

own. l clearly cast my vote for Ed

in vain, and that the Hon Edwin G

Keeping Boys and Girls in High
School.

"A truly remarkable record is the
way DR.. P. P. Claxton, United States
Commissioner of Education, character
ICES the work of S. II. Edmunds, SUI
South Carolina, in keeping boys and
girls in high school.
Analysis of figures presented by Mr..
Edmunds showed that comparatively
few fall by the way in the Sumter
school system. There are So pupils in
first-year high school, So in the second
year. SO in the third. and So in the
fourth year. Last year SO graduated
from high school and 40 went to col
lege, an almost unprecedented proper
ton in public high school The
work of these boys and girls in col
lege is highly commended by Presi-
dent s C. Mitchell. of the University
of South Carolina, and President ID.
B. Johnson, of the Winthrop Normal
and Industrial Institute. both of whom
declare that the Sumter pupils were
notably we'll prepared. DR.. Mitchell
says Mr.. Edmunds has effectively an
swered the question: "How to hold
boys in high sckapl.''
The superintendent himself men
tions number of points that seem to
him to account for the enviable fig
ures In the first place, he cites the
fact that in his system boys and girls
are educated separately from the sixth
grade up, making it possible to apply
education more directly to the special
needs of each sex. Again, he points
TO his military company of grammar
and high school boys, in charge of a
regularly employed commandment, as
another feature that proves attractive.
tional point of view than either of
these is the insistenee by the superin-
tendent that each pupil shall realize
that he is an individual not mere
cog in the machine. Thus a valuable
sense of personal pride is developed
which leads to a desire for more and
more education AS a further lncen-
tive for the pupils to remain until the
end of the course, graduation from
high school is made an importan
event in the students career.
Although giving due weight to thes
vestigated the condition believe Their
is a deeper reason for the presence o
so many pupils in the Sumter hig
schools. According to Professor Hand
the state high school inspector Q
South Carolina, the real secret is to b
found in the cordial personal relatio
that exists between Superintendent
Edmunds and the boys and girls IN hi
system.
