Ending the Colorado Scandal.

The sending Of the United States cavalymen 10
the scene of the Colorado mining troubles should put
an end to the wholesale murder OF women and chill
dren there The state Of private warfare will end.
The United States viii be in charge and It VIII
be competent TO keep order and do justice as be-
tween the two parties TO the controversy. The first
step will doubtless he 10 dsarm the strikers and the
mine guards The federal troops will be able 10
protect the property involved and there will he no
occasion for the mine maintaining their pri-
vate soldiery II was disgrace for the State of
Colorado to turn this function TO private organ
cations.
Where the armed guard in labor disputes appears
there bloodshed IS most likely to take place, II is
impossible to appoTtion the blame, but the state
which abdcates in favor Of the private armed guard
invites trouble. It was so at the Carnegie strike
years ago. 1t was so in the disgraceful affair II
West Virginia which terminated year ago,
only when the protests Of the entire country made
that states acQulescenCe IN the scandal longer
possible
The entrance Of the United States into the Colo
RADIO controversy a square deal for both sides
The truth will soon be known, for the Colorado
strike has now become a national matter. And
when public opinion has had an opportunity to
sert itself the strike will end with the doing OF sub
stantal justice whichever side It may fall.

Taking Pains in a Snort.

Our English relatives. near or remote as you
prefer to view them, much impressed by our
invading golfers Some Of the experts Mr. Braid
among them. fear Mr. Jerry Travers of tie wallop-
Ing iron the most. His natural liking for match
play is counted strongly IN his favor. Others pick
the perfect style and keen concentration Of our
youthful open champion, the marvellous boy rs
the British papers describe him. All are agreed that
the English amateurs will need their best game
to stand of the attack
All are also agreed that the most striking feature
OF the invasion il the painstakng care with which
it IS being executed Not only are players early on
the ground; they studying the pecuarties OF
turf, light, atmosphere and wind with spirit OF
foresight and perseverance and minute attention
And from this typical American spirit OF taking
pains the Daily Mail" for instance. considers that
English sportsmen have much TO learn:
II is In precisely this spirit that We in Great
Britain n rule lacking. We are as deliberately
casual our foreign, and especially our American
competitors are deliberately careful They bring
to these international contests extra keenness,
a stronger desire to win. a sounder and more
scientific habit OF Insurance against risks and a
far greater readiness TO submit to the necessary
trouble and discipline.
The results are twofold. The casual British spirit
fails 10 develop The potentially first rate man
into the actually first rate man. and 1t also fails
10 develop the new devices and Inventions by
which contests lost AS the DAILY
Mali points out nearly al! the inventions OF
the last few years in horse racing, billiards. lawn
tennis sprintlng and jumping have come to Eng
land from abroad. Only reluctantly have English
sporlsmen condcsccndcd TO experiment with these
new ideas
Whether our golfers prevail this time or not their
visit is evidently furnishing yet another persuasive
example Of American methods for England to
ponder.

NIGHT Work for Women.

1t IS interesting sign OF the times that local
Court Of Special Sessions has rendered decision
uphoding the law which prohibits night work by
women. A similar law was held TO be unconstitu-
tional by the Court Of Appeals in 1901. The Ma
tional Consumers League. which is pressing the
case IS hopeful that the appellate courts will
reverse themselves and uphold law similar 10 the
one they threw out seven years ago.
Such change Of front would be entirely reason
able The worldwide Investigation OF women's
occupations has developed many facts in the last
few years It is still far from completed. But the
general principle that women, in the interest OF
healthy collaborating should be protected from IN
duly hours and conditions of labor is firmly
established The principle of regulatory legislation
Of this character hss been upheld by the Supreme
Court Of the United States.
The State Of Oregon deserves the credit for deve-
oping such legislation in this country She IS nj
present experimenting with comprehensive law
creating Industrial welfare commission with full
power to regulate wages. hours and conditions Of
work for women and children. our New YORK
statute falls far short Of this radical measure and
seems entirely reasonable exercise Of legislative
judgment in execution Of the police power Of the
state. II IS greatly TO be hoped that our courts
have seen the light and will sustain this law.

that property values in Brooklyn are de-
clining to the extent OK 100000 year,
public officials will not think Il necessary

and noble action. but merely at the bid

II those European nations ruling IN
Asia which have established complete
monopoles in opium within their from
tiers (namely. England. Holland and
France could prevail upon themselves TO
abandon their enormous profits and close
their government opium manufacture"
the thing would ne almost done. FOR the
opium vice would thereby be completely
cXtinsuished ia practically every Euro
pean possession IN Asia China. with Its
four hundred millions, has already de-
clared against tho vice. and there would
remain, roughly speaking, only the com
paratiyely limited territories OF the indie
