WILL THIS LESSON BE HEEDED?

Organized labor was not on trial
in the Indianapolis dynamiting cases.
Forty individuals were on trial, and
the jury has found thirty-eight of
them guilty of the crime charged
against them, which crime was far
less heinous than their real offense.
A great, an overwhelming major
lty of all the members of labor or
ganizations are law-abiding citizens
AS good citizens as can be found
anywhere In the country. But they
nave made a fetch of unionism.
While sharing in the benefits, they
have shouldered little responsibility
for the management of affairs. The
control of unions has been drifting
into the hands of labor demagogues,
and when the demagogue is intrust-
ed with power he always becomes a
tyrant.
The men responsible for all these
dynamite outrages made their living
out of the unions. They were the
parasites of organized labor and
were concerned chiefly in keeping
themselves in office. The power of
the union was their individual pow
er, and they hesitated at no crime to
maintain it or extend it. No mans
life or property was safe if it stood
in their way.
This criminal conspiracy carried
on its reign of terror year after year,
and every outrage which it commit
ted was not only a crime in itself,
but it was a form of criminal black
mail levied upon all other employ
ers. 1t was the labor demagogues'
warning that surrender must be un-
conditional.
1t was not the fault of honest
union men that these criminals MUIR
dered and destroyed, but it was the
fault of honest union men that such
criminals attained and held auto
cratic power in labor organizations.
The lesson of this verdict is a lesson
that honest union men must heed.
Otherwise, all the inestimable good
of organized labor will be over
whelmed with the evil.
This country is weary of organized
crime, whether it is committed by
captains of industry or by captains
of toll. The patience of a patient
people is we'll nigh exhausted. If
the decent majority will not as
sumo control of the affairs of trades
unionism, then good and bad alike
must suffer the consequences.
There can be no compromise on
this issue.-New York World.

MR.. REDS BODY HERE FRIDAY

New York, Jan. 2.-The British
cruiser Natal, bearing to this port the
body of Whitelaw Reid, late ambassa-
dor to England, announced by wireless
that she expected to get here tomorrow
morning. The United States battleships
North Dakota and Florida sailed to
meet the Natal off Nantucket and es-
cort her to an anchorage in the Hudson
river. Heavy weather has delayed the
Natal.

that members present affiliations,
frankly acknowledges the Spring
dale mans conspicuous ability and
his superior qualifications for the
speakership. This may not be ex-
actly quick asset, but it is val
liable testimony nevertheless, and it
is eloquent of the fundamental re-
quisite which should obtain in the
selection of a speaker.
An examination of the roll of
membership and it's political COM
plexion discloses undoubted reasons
why the House should elect a Re-
publican speaker. That party is pre-
dominant. But there was that in the
recent election and there is an at
titude on the part of some Repub-
licans or quasi-Republican which
renders it desirable that the new
speaker shall represent something
more than the party name. He
ought to be broad enough in his
views and inclinations to possess the
full faith Of Republicans and at the
same time inspire the complete con-
fidence of former Republicans and
members with other partisan lean
ings. Such a man is Mr.. Alter. 1t
is said of him that, although he en-
tered the House in 1909 a stranger,
it was not long until he was influen-
tial in it's committee work and de-
liberations and had elected warm
commendation from Gov. Stuart for
the intelligence and fidelity with
which he went about the publics
business. In the session of 1911
nearly all of the administration
bills, so called because they were
intended to carry out recommenda-
tions specifically made by Gov. Tener
In his inaugural address, were COM
mitted to Mr.. Alter for introduction
and floor management. AS Governor
Tener is expected to submit a num-
Der of important subjects for action
in his forthcoming message-all of
IhSI IOhSll uCllNe anu uldThlDR dell
mite stages of legislative progress
it would appear to be the part of
wisdom, from the standpoint of the
commemorative real interests, that
the governor should have the benefit
and aid of a speaker who will be in
thorough sympathy with executive
plans for advancement. In this
respect Mr.. Alters election would be
admirable
The speakership situation is sur
rounded by many complications. If
blunder is made the consequences
may be serious to the Republican
party's future and not to the ad-
vantage of the state. The oppor-
tunity is presented in Mr.. Alters
candidacy of achieving a popular
move which will go far toward re-
establishing public approval of the
motives and methods of the Repub-
licans of Pennsylvania Pittsburg

SEVEN DIE ASBRIDGE GIVESWAY
Pilns Undermined by Floods, Engine
PIunees Through Structure.

Huntington, w. Va, Jan. 2. The
first day of the new year brought to
the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad dis
aster. An engine of the heaviest type,
pulling westbound freight train No. &c.
plunged through a temporary bridge
spanning the Guyan river at Guyan-
dotte, on the eastern edge of this city.
Seven men were hurled to death and
a half dozen more seriously hurt. The
dead are:
E. e. Weber, engineer; Henry White,
Waterman; Charles Haddie, Emmett
Wood, James Crawford, Charles Cay
ner and ]. G. Wheeler, bridge workers.
The financial loss to the railroad COM
pany is estimated will reach $5OO,OO0.
Freight traffic on the road was COM
pletely tied up and passenger traffic
was resumed after delay of several
hours by the use of the tracks of the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad.
The Guyandotte bridge, the scene of
the disaster, was known to railroad
men as the hOodoo bridge, the accident
making the third on this structure.
The railroad officials claim that the
collapse of the bridge was due to the
piling being undermined by the high
stage of water now prevailing in Guy
an river.
Fifteen men were working on the
bridge, and eleven of them went down,
five being rescued from the river. The
others fell under the engine and cars.
So far it has been impossible to dis
cover the bodies of any of the victims.

THE SPEAKERSHR

Friends of Representative Geo. e.
Alter of the Twelfth district of Allie
gheny county are supporting him for
speaker of the House at Harrisburg
for a variety of good and sufficient
reasons. They commend him to the
people and to the favorable consider
alton of his fellow members as ex-
employing the best type of state leg
islator. They believe that all kinds
of Republicans can turn to him with
the assurance that they will be en-
tirely safe in sinking factional diff
terences and uniting on him as a
step toward restoring Republicanism
in Pennsylvania to its former mill
fancy.
Mr.. Alters candidacy is not set
upon narrow foundations or pros
criptive purposes. While it is urged
upon positive grounds it is not es-
sentially hostile to any individual as
such nor directed with malicious an
tagonism at any group of men. 1t is
not in derogation nor to the dis
paragement of Others who may be
seeking the same honor. Mr.. Alters
adherents do not rely upon negative
arguments to advance his cause.
They point to the man, to his flaw
less record in two sessions of the
General Assembly, to his honorable
career at the bar and his standing in
the community for confirmation of
their claims in his behalf. 1t is
fact beyond dispute that every men,

BANS RED SCHOOLHOUSES.
Member of Chicago Board Says They

Make Babies Cross.
Climbing ivy and other vines are to
be substituted for red paint on the Chi
cago school buildings if suggestion Of
William Rothmann, one Of the mem
bers of the board of education, is fol-
lowed out. An attempt at renewal of
five year custom to paint the build
ings red was vigorously opposed by
Rothmann, who succeeded in staying
the proposed action of the board.
''This idea of painting schoolhouses
red every five years is bad one" said
Mr.. Rothmann. "The color strikes you
in the face two blocks away. 1t makes
the babies in the neighborhood so
cross no one can sleep at night.
1--WE should plant ivy and other vines
and the buildings will be covered by
nature in a few years. This will elm
mate the cost Of painting and will be
more beautiful than any paint as we'll
