If matter OF wages coal oper
ators might better meet their men on
half way basis. 1t would be cheap
er in the long run. 1t has already
cost the coal companies OF the east
ern part of the state more for guard
and loss of production than liberal
advance in wage would amount to
But the main trouble is that the op-
orators do not take to folks lik
Hayes and Mother Jones' running
their mines and saying who shall
work and who shall not. OF course
funds have to be provided to pay tn
agitators and this accounts for the
desire to have all union men. But
where wages are concerned all reas-
enable demands should be met. Ih

THE JUDICIAL ELECTION.

After having syung from the Re-
publican to the Progressive party the
fifth district has elected C. C. Craig,
Democrat, to the supreme court OF
the state by a substantial plurality.
The successful candidate lost some
party votes to Judge Puterbaugh, his
Republican opponent, beyond any
question, but he held fair percent
age of the Wilson vote. At the same
time the Republicans must be credited
with far better showing than the
Progressives. They owed much to
their candidate, who made strong
nonpartisan appeal because of his
widely recognized fitness for work on
the bench, but this election indicates
also that the Republican organization
has regained some Of its lost ground
On the other hand, the Progress
ives, who made very ardent partisan
campaign, have fallen off tremend-
ously. Their candidate is not only
bad third, but he has very small
percentage of the Roosevelt vote.
Both he and his party have met with
smashing defeat, and for the party
this must be added to other recent ex-
periences of the same kind that point
to readjustment along the old lines
or with the use of the old names For
it is proved very convincingly by this
time that the house divided against
itself cannot stand and the stronger
division is not likely TO yield to the
weaker.
Though the election was judicial
one it would be idle to ignore its po-
litical significance, which will cer-
tainly be emphasized throughout the
country. That is inevitable now, but
it is to be hoped that the time may
come soon when the law itself will
exclude partisanship from such con-
tests and leave them to be decided
as they should be, by the question of
personal fitness.-Record-H

SEX INSTRUCTION IN SCH0o $
TO PREVENT WHITE SLAVERY

WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct. q
Sex instruction in schools as ne rs
of wiping out $4,000 annual recf Its
to the white slave army and procac-
ing nobler and more perfect rGae,
was advocated today by DR.. T. 2.
Claxton, United States commissioner
of education, in an exclusive st..le-
ment to the United Press:
81 thoroughly believe in instruct
ion in sex subjects in schools, h.
said. Parents cannot impair, lGe
truths to their children as they s:laid
be told, either from ignorance o. BE-
cause of a certain widespread p u
cry.
THE only question about Sc IA
struction in schools is one of q ~
i've administration. Just now teac.! rs
are not equipped for giving ths ~
struction and should be taught !1r
it is vastly important that such t. h.
ing should be given in way ra to
produce coarse thinking in the pJ9il
or self consciousness which ". Id
not otherwise be felt.
Il believe that men and WsaAn
teachers-preferably those with call
dren of their own-should tell ,..oi-
ars all over the land that pro .as-
tion is the highest, noblest .h'Gg II
life-and should tell them VIZ,
sense of religious, consecratcd feel
ing. Let them draw their ins .ru.t-
ion from nature, from the sto,.,s of
birds and flowers and anim. and
show children around IL year. 1; az.

worse-a life of suffering anu l:s-

,used to do Tammany's bidding;

FUSED to do Tammany's bidding,
nevertheless, Sulzer was creature of
Tammany's for score of years, did
Tammany's bidding in office, and re-
fused to do so at Albany only be-
cause he imagined himself bigger than
his creator.
To the unthinking Sulzer is mar
tyr to the cause; to the calculating
politician Sulzer can be played as
trump card in fight against boss
Murphy and his machine; and it is
possible that Sulzer may be elected
to the New York state assembly next
month. But the Progressive party
ought to be above Sulzsr and his
claims to recognition by the new
party. That party broke into frag
ments party in the name Of a great
reform. Offices and patronage were
given scant consideration year ago.
1t was a crusade for an inspiring
cause.
Sulzer has failed to do penance for
his past sins. He did not renounce
Tammany--he quarreled with the
boss.
Either Sulzer fooled the people for
twenty or more years or he fooled his
political hackers. Certainly he fooled
a section of the people for quite a
while. He had been prating reform
ever since he entered public life, but
when the critical hours arrived he
did the bidding of Croker and Murphy
When he posed as a friend of the
people he did SO as part of the game
A year ago he was chooses by Tam
many as its candidate for governor
and he was picked because of his pop
ularity and his known ability to play
a part. After his nomination he
seemed to repudiate Tammany-
which, if true, was piese of treach-
| ery-and after his election by Tam
many, he fell into the tolls; he coulo
not dissemble sufficiently in this big
office to fool the public and do Muir
phys bidding at the same time.
And Tammany punished Sulzer fol
his treachery. He was not kicked from
office because of his newly assumed
honesty; he was taught lesson be-
caused he failed to do what he had
! been doing ever since he was elected
by Tammany to minor place.
If tammany is to be downed, the
weakling Sulzer ought not to be useo
as the club.-Record-H Herald.

That the Progressive party is on
The toboggan slide is again evidenced
by the result of the election for su-
pfeme court judge in the fifth Illinois
district which took place Monday last.
There were three andidates-Dcmo-
crat, Republican and Progressive.
Last year Roosevelt carried the dis
trict two to one over Taft and plur-
ality of about 1000 over Wilson. AT
the election Monday the Progressive
candidate was d poor third, receiv-
ing only 5000 votes where Roosevelt
received $4,000 and this in the face
0f the fact that the Progressive cam
paign was the most vigorous in the
history of the district. Leaders from
Chicago and all over the state center
ed on their nominee. Whole pages of
papers throughout the district were
used by the Progressives, being paid
Tor at so much per inch. In the ten
counties the Progressives carried only
one, while the Republicans carried
four and the Democrats five. The Re-
publican nominee received 5000 more
votes than the Progressive. While
the Progressive vote was sufficient to
defeat the Republican nominee it in
dicates that the third party move
ment is waning all over. The Her
aids advice to Progressives is to get
back into the Republican party and
take hand in formulating politicies
ana naming candidates. It's the only
way to WIN. Progressives are Re-
publicans and with divided party
Democrats are bound to win as rule.
