The Supremacy of the Law.

President Shea of the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Firemen and Engineers
serves notice in behalf of the organi-
cation that if the anti-strike provision
of the proposed railroad legislation is
adopted the law will not be obeyed.
1t is charitable to assume that this is
bluff.
No organization, no individual, is
above the law. Laws must be obeyed.
1t is the duty of officials to enforce
the law. Men who refuse obedience
make themselves liable to punish
ment.
Those who are proposing this meas
ure are proceeding in the proper, the
prescribed, way. The matter is to be
presented to Congress, and there de.
bated. Those in favor of the measure
will say aye, chose opposed no.
Thus the brotherhood is guaranteed
its day in court. 1t should improve
its privilege and opportunity. 1t pos
sesses the right Of petition, 1t car
approach senator's and representative:
and ask for interviews. 1t can brins
all legitimate influences to bear In
support Of its contentious.
But II, after all has been said and
done, ceHgysas DEGREES that railroad

planned to purchase his birthplace and
preserve it permanently. That il most
suitable, But here viii rise the gym
bel Of the peoples affection and re-
spect for the man who gripped them
to him by his intense Americanism.
Theodore Roosevelt's was a unique
personality. He had no prototype in
American politics. It was inevitable
that he should make enemies, but those
enemies always respected him for his
sincerity, his earnestness and his
eagerness to advance the welfare of
the people. He made mistakes, as
other men do, but they were mistakes
Of impetuosity that were self correct
ed in time.
It Is possible to look back on Roose-
vet's career in a perspective that
softens the asperities aroused by his
vigorous temperament. Those who
most severely criticised him when he
was active are now among those who
mest Warmly praise him for his in
tegrity, his ability and his never fail
ing devotion to American ideals. The
appeal for funds to create the pro-
posed memorial will without doubt be
needed. There is no partisanship in
this movement. 1t is an American pro-
posal to pay adequate honor to one Of
the sreatest of American citizens.

stands and binds. It cannot with i'm
punity be Aeated. It stands and kinds
until repealed.
The hrotherAeod il at liberty to
challenge, but must do 80 in the con
stitutional way. It can propose re-
peal, and exert its full influence at
the polls in favor Of repeal. But if
the campaign fails, and the decree
is affirmed at the polls, then again
nothing but obedience remains.
Assuming that this threat is mere
bluff, it is yet unfortunate. This is
no time for bluff ON so important a
question. The country is in state
of unrest and excitement. The only
safety is in the law and its enforce
ment. Hence all talk from any
source about defying the law adds to
the embarrassment of the situation.
Our Institutions have not failed,
and will not fail. All changes made
necessary by the war can be effected
by :he processes provided by the
fathers and successfully applied since
their day. There have been times of
storm and stress before these times
came upon us. But all such times
were weathered by a firm insistence
on law and order, and the employ
ment of every agency looking to the
protection of public interests.
Such a course will be taken new,
and public sentiment will sustain the
action. The safeguarding of public in
terests is the paramount censidera-
ton, and it rises above parties. If
a supreme test should come, party
lines would disappear, and men Of
both parties stand together in the vim
dication of majority rule and in un-
eonquerable opposition to all class

ing for formal visit to the capital
of the country that rendered such pre-
eious aid to his people in their dis
tress five years ago and throughout
the terrible time Of the war. The re-
ceptien here will be simple, yet sig
nifcant Of the high respect in which
the American people hold this most
admirable representative Of Belgium,
who instantly won esteem by his stand
for righteousness against an over
towering enemy and who bore him
self throughout the war with such
manhood and high character, with NO
faltering of faith and NJ neglect Of
duty.
In his tour throughout the country
King Albert has seen the American
people in all aspects and according to
reports has been greatly Impressed.
He was here before, 9 number Of
years ago. and on his return he Hads
. greatly changed country, carried far
forward in it, development. Unhap-
PLY just now he sees it in . depios-
able state Of unrest owing to the effect
Of the var upon industrial conditions.
But there need be no fear that he
uisjudgss the situation, that he mis-
takes the present passing troubles q

In their afdor Of welcome for the
King Of Belgium the people of this
country ave inspired by their recog-
milton Of his democracy, his unpre-

royal consort who throughout the war
displayed her true womanhood by her

ended by many thousands of Ameri-

The Strike Issue.

Evidently the issue that has been
raised by the Presidents challenge
of the soft coal strike order, conveyed
in his impressive message issued Sat
urday evening warning the miners
that the strike in the present circum-
stances would be not only unJustlh-
able, but unlawful, will not be settled
fer industrial peace or war until after
Wednesday, when the national exeeu-
tive board of the United Mine Work
ers will convene at Indianapolis This
meeting was called before the Presi-
dents statement was issued, for the
purpose Of formulating details of the
. strike, !. butt it. is obvious that the
chief business before it will be a
consideration of Mr.. Wilson's appeal
to the union to rescind, the strike or
der. and proceed with an arbitration
of the questions TO be raised
While mo explanation is made of
"the means to protect the interests Of
tho nasiea in any emergency that
may arise out of this unhappy bust
ress.p to which the President referred
IN hts statement, It is to be accepted
that the government is not unpre-
pared with Law and agencies for its
enforcement in case the strike occurs
bext Saturday. Speculation, Of course,
Is rife. 1t is asked whether the gov
eminent is prepared to operate the
mines in order to maintain the supply
Of coal, and if so by what means.
Will the mines be run by non-union
labor under protection of military
guards supplied by the War Depart
menti Or will the Army be used
merely to check disorder if the OPP
orators undertake to keep the mines
working by such forces as they may
assembled
Pending the decision Of the union
leaders ct the indianapolis meeting,
thess questions are Of no particular
urgspcy. Confidence is felt that the
President was making no idle state
nsent Of his purpose to meet the emer-
gency With the powers Of the govern
ment, that in short it was net . bluh,
but that definite plans are in nind
and preparations have been made to
the end OF preventing the disaster Of
q stoppage Of coal production.
The Presidents statement served q
valuable purpose in disclosing to the
country more wildly than before the
fact that a coal strike such - that
contemplated for NEXT Saturday would
have an immediate and widespread
effect upon all classes Of people.
This il not merely matter of keep
ing warn. It runs to the point of
maintaining the railroads, the street
cars, the lighting systems of cities,
the vital necessities of daily life. It
touches the question of food supply,
for without fuel trains cannot run
and the means Of sustenance cannot
be carried to the people. There is no
exempted class in such a crisis. A
coal strike such as that proposed
would be calamitous to practically
every community in this country and
the utmost measures of prevention
will be justified and will be fully sup
ported by the people.

Besides being a home for the babies.
the hospital provides a day nursery
where employed mothers may leave
their young children in safety and com

More recently, a similar institution
for the care of cOlOred babies with a
day nursery for young colored chill
dren, was established, on French street.

gent appeal to the public for cOntribu-
tions to keep both these institutions in
existence. They are the only places in
the state TO which foundlings can be
sent Both institutions are nOn-sec-

The Hospital and Day Nursery for
colored children on French street is
presided over by a competent stan Of
colorcd workers, including a trained
nurse as superintendent and a medical
stan comprised of the leading colorei
