TIE PEOPLES COLUMN

Then, when the Governor OF COLORADO
sent word 10 President Wilson that the
lawlessness was beyond control and asked
for the aid Of federal troops the President
DELAYED for day or more. when IT should
have been apparent to any one that It was
time for prompt and definite action.
The phrase recognition of the union
sounds simple and harmless enough, but
il would have vast and farreaching conse-
quences. 1t would mean employing only
union men and thereby compelling all
men TO join the union and contribute
money for its support and the support OF
the walking delegates, etc, who thrive on
the discomfort they stir up. IN time ii
would come to pass that the union would
have absolute control OF the business in
stead Of The legitimate owners, If, indeed,
the business could live at all under such
conditions. Most Of us will remember the
experiences of San Francisco with the
unions. and the "unon Mayor" who
finally had to be sent to prison.
Let US deal with the facts.

No Tammany Constitutional Convention

Official canvass by the State Board Of Canvassers
shows concusively that the proposal for consttr-
tlonal convention next year was carried by Tam
many Halls votes. The margin in its favor was
only 1854 figure slight that without Tam
manys violent efforts to get out the vote here the
project must have failed
Tammanys attitude on this matter IS not to be
attributed to any sudden eagerness for broad, pro
gressve new constitution. 1t IS to be attributed to
Tammany's desire for Tsmmany's kind Of consti-
tuition drafted in Tammany- controlled convention
which Murphy and his "boys" believe they can pro-
duce. Nothing could be more unfortunate for New
York State The struggle to elect delegates to the
convention viii be important part of the cam
paign this fall. The progressive members Of MI
PARTIES who desire broad, improved constitution
and all voters who do not desire a Tammany brand
of constitution should TO it that Tammany does
not elect majority Of the delegates.

Was the Open Shop Involved ?

The United Mine Workers officials deny that the
union insists upon a closed shop in the Colorado
mines If the closed shop is not and has not been
demanded. what excuse is there for all the blood
sned in this controversy? Mr.. Rockefeller has
sought 20 Justify his company's attitude on the
GROUND that il was standing up for the principle Of
freedom for American workers. 1t is a principle IN
which most of us believe But if the freedom Of
fine workers was not involved what becomes of the
Justification? The only thing to do is to put it to
The test and prove whether the open shop principle
* involved or not. The Colorado Fuel and Iron
Company can call the hand Of the union any day It
will by offering to arbitrate any question except
that Of unionizing the mines, which Mr. Rockefeller
mt beyond the range of arbitration
IL is impossible TO sympathize with the mine
owners in their refusal from the outset TO meet
their workers and talk over their grievances with
them Had such meeting been held i'm the right
snrit the strike might have been avoided. if it Is
tue that the strikers did not insist upon the closed
shon and if the mine owners drew the line rs Mr..
Rockefeller SAYS they did nj nothing short Of That

Getting Nearer the Root OF the Matter.

The Tribunes Washington dispatches announce
that the plans OF the \ Il c medaors include the
calling of conference Of three representatives OF
the parties in intercst-the United States the Iuera
government and the Mexican Constitutionalsts
The purpose of this conference is TO lessen the
chance OF a breakdown in negotiations because OF
awkward conditions imposed on the scope OF the
mediation by one or more of the participants. 1t Is
thought more prudent TO let the penpoteniaries OF
the United States, Huerta and Carranza discuss
among themselves and with the South American
ENJOYS the limitations and stipulations which any
of their principals may have in mind
Ii is evident that the mediatorS are making some
definite Roadway. They have succeeded in commit
ting both the United States and Huerta to the I'M
derstanding that hostile operations shall be sus-
pended during mediation. although they have not yet
arranged for truce between the IIuerta forces and
the Consitutionalsts The COnstutionaliss have the
most 10 lose 10y an armistce since they are rapidly
extending their jurisdiction in Northern Mexico
and could undoubtedly go ahead and capture Sal
o the last stronghold Of the Federals in the north,
If they should attack 1t at once in force.
truce between the Federals and Constitutional
lists is not necessary. however to the expedition OF
mediation The essential thing is to get together
responsible representatives of the three interests
concerned and to sec If there is any real basis in
sight for a settlement. If there is not the people
Of the United States viii want to see the admins
traton withdraw from tme-kng discussion Of
and techncalities The trust in dip
lomatic settlement may turn out to be illusory. We
hope that the plans Of the three ENJOYS will work.
Yet even if they don't we shall still owe a debt Of
gratitude to our South American friends who have
so valiantly taken in hand an almost desperate in
situation

Hope for the New Dances .

There is always much entertainment to he found
In the advent of anything new TO the brisk young
radicals everything new is necessarily right-because
it is new And to the OSsfed elderly conservatives
the new thng-whether it be a dance new
dish a religion-is tragic heresy, breaking up
the cherished ideals of the past and plunglng the
world into new abysses of sin. How the world ever
manages to keep its head in such weller of conflict
ing advice do not know But it does. And all too
soon the fight is over and the new banner either
waves overhead lies trample in the dust. The
radicals sweep the horizon for a new battle flag
and the conservatives prepare to ntrench them
selves behind the aged innovatiOn-that is, If
it has won its way and has no need of support
The new dances have displayed all these interest
ing symptoms in the last year or so. and by all
the signs they are now winning their final victory
Despite the protests of the elderly Respondents the
new dancing has thrilled and fourshed and come
into its own As one interesting milestone we cite
the letter Of the director Of the Yale gymnasium,
printed with approval by our emnently conscrva
tive friend The Times" This expert. Or. William
c. Anderson, writes at length from his own per
sonal experience with physical training and gives
the strongest praise TO dancing as exercise for
the very reason that it is pleasurable OF the in
MIGRATING influence of agreeable mental excitement
he gives this pat illustrations
A concrete instance selected from hundreds OF a
like character is that Of the Junior Prom Girl"
OFTEN slender slip OF a lass" will dance from Q
p. n. until q. m, then attend dawn tea and
dance from until :, and ask to have a few encores
from 10 TO L o'clock. This young woman has been
enjoy ing "riOtous glee" for from ten hours,
but does not manifest fatigue, and will scott at
suggestion that she is tired. We often refer i'm
humorous way to instances Of this character but
the psychologists still persist in asking the ques
ton "Why?"
DR.. Anderson enters upon much psychological data
to support his general contention. Whether the
scientific basis is adequate or not his views are
those now generally accepted by all who have OBJ
served the results Of exercise. Dull embarrassing
calisthenics cannot compare with the beneficial
effect 10 be gained from an absorbing game Of golf
or tennis an evenings dancing which is really
enjoyed, not endured. Here, at any rate the old
Puritan notion breaks down and play the free OK
preston Of animal spirits takes a highly admira-
bic and useful position in the scheme Of life for
weaTied mOrtas.
Thus in a few short months the terrible turkey
trot and the wicked tango are transformed into n
means Of grace and a hope of manifold good

THE MEDIATION PROBLEM
Reasonable Concessions Must Be Made
by Both Sides.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: I am taking it that the question to
he mainly considered is this: wv nat
measures are most likely to make for the
peace and welfare OF the Mexican Re
public"
In the discussion of this question both
parties 10 it must be treated with mutual
and equal respect One side az well as
the other must be willing TO make what
ever may be decided on As being reason
able concessions.
TO start with. General Huerta's apdi-
cation must not he insisted on as q con-
dition of any amicable settlement OF the
DISPUTE. The demand made upon General
Iuerta: voluntary on your part but
compulsory on ours" must be frahA'y
given up. Should IL be so taken hach'
the way would bc open for General
Huerta to say. you profess that all YOU
are aiming al is the lasting peace ana
prosperitv OF the Mexican Republic. As
mat IS the one object OF my own en-
de:.vor and hope. if it shall oe made rea-
sonoblv clear that such result would most
surely and most quickly follow from re-
signing my office as provisional Presl-

that sacrifice

No Harm in the Simmons Canal
Tolls Amendment.

We do not see why anybody who favors the repeal
OF the remission Of tolls American coastwise snip
ping through the Panama Canal should OBJECT I"
the attachment TO the Sims bill of the so-called SIN
mons amendment. The Sims bill. which the House
of Representatives passed. discontinues the discrh
nation in the original Panama Canal law in favor
OF our coastwise vessels. The Simmons amendment
is merely precautionary. 1t provides that helIhel
the passage of the repeal bill nor anything In II
shall be construed as waving, impairing or aHec'-
ing nny treaty or other rights now possessed ny
the United States.
Most OF the opponents Of repeal believe that
Congress either violated stretched the hay
Pauncefote treaty when it exempted coastwise smps
from the payment Of tolls. They are In favor oil
giving nm indirect subsidy the coastwise shipping
interest treaty or no treaty. They regard the Hay
Pauncefote convention as a bad bargain and are
glad of the opportunity TO break it one way or ah
other So far as these ant-repealcrS are concerneu
the Sims bill is Just as Objectionable with the SIM
mons amendment without II.
Rut there IS another class OF ant-repealers Whlch
the simmons proviso may mollify. Those critics
of the Sims measure hold that it is not matter OF
very great consequence whether or not we let our
coastwise trade 60 through the canal free they are
not strong on subsidy for the sake or SUBSIDY
But they fear lest the United States in WlthdraWlhs
the assertion of a right TO remit tolls on American
shining may compromise some other rights 81
operation and ownership not very clearly expressed
in the wording Of the Hay-Pauncefote instrument
For instance it has been urged that our right TO
fortifv the canal and TO close it in time OF war
against power hostile to us is bound mp with our
right 70 discriminate in favor of our own shipping
Asa matter of fact these rights are not at all inter-
dependeut since both at the time the treaty was
signed and subsequently Great Britain consented to
the fortifcaton of the canal and to the theory
that i'm time of war we shall close it and protect II
AGAINST an enemy. We are safe on those points
Yet if some opponents Of repeal think that we are
not safe it would be just well to soothe their
fear by saving that in repeating the tolls eXemp-
ton clause we do not make any concessions as
fertilization or the exclusion of enemies from the
canal I'm war time. so far that goes, a weak
enemy i'm war would never trust his ships in
the canal and n strong enemy would try to seize
the waterway and control its use, treaty or no
treaty
No friend Of the Sims measure wants TO give
away any advantages which the United States
now possesses except the wrongfuIly assumed adj
vantage of giving free passage to American coast
wise shipping in the face Of Great Britain's pro
test To confess that we stretched the treaty on
that point need not affect other points not in dis
pute. We make reparaton because were wrong
in one claim AS to all other claims, our case VIII
be Just as good ever after the Sims bill passes.

\ Stcadfast judge.

Thomas G. Jones, United States District Judge
for the Middle District Of Alabama, deserves TO be
remembered for the high quality of frmness and
courage which he displayed upon the bench He
had served CALAMITY i'm the Confederate army and
had been active later in Alabama politics. He was
Governor Of the state from 1890 to 1891 All his
associations put him in sympathy with Southern
ideas of state rights and Southern GOODNESS toward
Il vigorous assertion of federal sovereignty
Yet after President Roosevelt put him on the fed
eral bench he laid aside all local and political prepos
sessions and did what he felt TO he his judicial duty
without fear favor. At a time when violent
campaign against the railroads was being made in
Virginia North Carolina. Georgia and Alabama, and
state legislatures and state courts were trying IL
nuilify the guarantees against state conscation VI
property embodied in the Fourteenth Amendmen,
to the federal Constitution Judge Jones stood Ike
forcement Of Alabama's railroad passenger and
freight laws on the ground that they were uncon-
stiudonal.
In Alabama that action denounced almost
disloyalty to Southern ideals Yet. however pain
full was TO him TO run counter to an nfamed
public sentiment. the Judge did his duty unfinch-
ingly as lac saw it. Time INDICATED his Judgment
and the rate laws were repealed or modified The
public has almost forgotten the details of the mi
dent But it should always remember with graft
ude the splendid steadfastness which this EXON
federate jurst exhibited in trying emergency.

A CHILD OF SOCIALISM
What Government Owne ship of Rail-
roads Would Mean to Practical
Politicians.

TO the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: news item in your issue Of yes
terday begins thus: Government owner
ship of railroads would be necessary
consequence Of refusal by the Interstate
Commerce Commission to permit ar ad-
vance in freight rates" etc.
When you have occasion 10 refer iu
your columns To that abominable child Of
socialism, that wolf in Sleeps clothing
called by the euphemistic title OF govern
ment ownership viii you not call il ~
its riehtidl name Of political control?
Theodore Vail, president OF the Ameri-
can Telephone and Telegraph Company
says that the people Of the country will
never stand for anything that takes the
control Of our public utilities away from
the private citizens and places them IN
the hands of politicians. Maybe they will
not, but again maybe they viii.
When one sees now New York State
has been made 10 blossom rs the rose ana
yield bounteous crop OF graft and rake
on to a crowd OF piratical politicians with
nothing but paving stones and macadam
roads TO juggle. what might they not do
II they could get their clutches on the
railroads of the country? II would be Il
big plum for them.
The stockholders who have put their
savings into few shares OF railroad
stock-who cares about them? surely
not the government"
