A letter from JOSEPH BUCKLIN
BISHOP printed on this page recently
setting right quotation from writ
ing by Colonel ROOSEVELT recalls a
classroom day in a modest inland
prep school where our attention was
first directed to JANE TAYLoR's "Orig-
inal Poems for Infant Minds" the
classic wherein Colonel ROOSEVELT
made acquaintance with ''Meddlesome
Matty." On a previous day the learned
instructor in English literature had
conscientlously struggled to direct our
critical consideration Of the poems Of
ALGERNoN CHARLES SwINBURNE; but
owing, 1t may be, to the fact that
later on that afternoon an important
baseball game was to be played In a
neighboring pasture SwINBURNE had
not taken root.

dence against lynchers has been hard
to obtain because the only witnesses
were q part of the mob itself and,
heartily ashamed of themselves when
the effect Of the stimulating, semi
hypnotic debauch was over, they have
refused to testify. That Is where the
camera plate, which Is a thing of no
primitive impulses and no fear, comes
In to aid the law.
"The power of the crowd" wrote
GUsTAvE LIE Bon, "is the only thing
that nothing menaces." But that was
written twenty years ago, and now
We see way to prevent men from
entering through curiosity upon ex-
petitions which are likely to end In
shame. II the camera can be brought
to bear at the very inception of mob
activity, like that which has just dis
graced Omaha, the authorities may
find that mobs already formed will
melt and that the lawless human ball
will not take on size as It moves. No
man with the least veneer of respec-
liability wishes to be photographed in
an act Of crime; and he knows that
while the machine gun finds limited
number of marks the camera hits
everything within range and its op-
orators have no fear Of turning 1t

Last of the Great Piainsmen.

CHARLES JESSE JONES, whose death
IL reported at Topeka, Kansas, came
honestly by the name of Buffalo
JONES'" the one by which he was
generally known. Like Buffalo BILL"
he was Western plains hunter when
the American bison was solving the
problem of the high cost Of living for
the builders of the great transconti-
mental lines across the prairies OF
Kansas and Nebra ska. While he helped
kill of the buffalo at the same time
he did more than any other man to
save 1t from extinction. That there
are to-day herds on the Government
reservations, in private collections and
in the geological parks Of the world is
due largely to his efforts.
In his early life JONES was dis
ttnctly a hunter, and to him was
never attached the dime novel ro-
manticism of being either a bad
man" or as marshal of a cattle
town captor of bad men," He
went to Salina, Kansas. when that
place was the end Of a cattle trail
and a rival Of Abilene as a centre OF
wild Western cowboy activity.
He demonstrated against the de
struction Of the buffalo and counselled
its preservation as an economic meas
ure. When finally the herds were SC
depleted that the extinction of the
buffalo seemed imminent he undertook
the preservation of the remnant. Al

An election committee of the House

An election committee of the House
has voted to to unseat Honey
FITzoERALD, the sitting member from
the Tenth Massachusetts, district. The
reported reason for this annoying ac-
ton Is that there was in the Hon.
FITz's election colonization and IL
legal registration Of votes in Bos-
tons First ward. which is proud to be
part of the district which Honey FITz
is proud to represent. Annoying. be-
cause there is in the House over
much seriousness at this time; too
many statesmen looking to reelection
by the process of spending taxes, by
starting Investigations which do not
investigate, by making wearisome
speeches, by sobbing over the sorrows
OF oppressed growers Of grain and
raisers OF hogs. Should a little mat
ter of colonization in Boston's First
ward deprive the House Of much
needed springtime joyousness. of
sweetness and light, Of song and
laughter? Alas! We suppose 1t

The Strike Leaders Conception Of
the Mission Of Trade Unionism.

We have short comment to make on
Mr.. WILLIAM 2. FosTER's pitiable ex'
hibition Of evasion and meaningless
recantatlon when subjected to SHARP
questioning by the Senate COMMITTEES
on Labor.
Under pressure FOSTER described
himself as no longer a syndicalist but
trade unionist. A trade union pa.
per like the linton Of indianapolis re
pudiates his published doctrines with
every sign of horror and disgust.
What FOSTER understands by trade
unionism and what he expects to eff
feet through trade unionism are sci
forth in his prediction of "a new so.
cial order to follow our era Of exploit
tation and wage slavery"
Under this new social order these
things, according to FOSTER, would be
likely to happen:
with this great force at COM
mand the Trade Unions, by the SIM
pie continuance of their present and
Interchangeable policy Of taking from
their oppressors all they can get.
would naturally abolish the infam-
Gus wages system and take such
other steps as were necessary to in
augurate the long looked for era Of
industrial freedom"
Under the new order government.
such as we know It, would gradually
disappear. In an era Of science and
Justice this makeshift institution. hav-
ing lost its usefulness. would shrivel
and die"
THE industries now in the hands
of national, State and municipal gov
ernments would be given over COM
pletely into the care Of the workers
engaged in them"
Little or no excuse would exist
for government What few extraor-
binary occasions arose for legislative
action to arrive at some sort OF So
luton could be handled by the Trade
Unions"
All this is not from the red pam
phlet which FOSTER grudgingly Tepudi
ates as the product of earlier an,
more passionate thought, but from
the white pamphlet which embodic'
his maturer and much more recen
reflections. 1t is pity he was no
examined specifically upon his re
vised prospectus Of revolution b.
means of trade unionism, of the abo
lition of the wage system. Of the over
throw of government as We now un
derstand 1t and the substitution o
Russian Bolshevism, with the trad'
unions as the only legislators.
This Is the Soviet philosophy will
which Judge GARY refuses to hav
intercourse. This is the seditiol
which Judge GARY declines to admi
to conference. This is the programme
which Judge GARY will do nothing t
further. 1t Is well that all peopl
should clearly understand the issu
which FOSTER has helped so much t
make distinct.

It's the glory OF the morning,
It's tho coming OF tho dawn,
And the sun rising red DER the hilltops.
When the mist from the river is gone.
It's the laughing rush OF water,
It's the thrushes morning song
And the splash of the bass when he's

The rocky banks along.
It's the far on blue OF the mountainn
It's the green of the nearer hills.
And the deep blue green of the river
Tho woodsman's heart that thrills.
It's the wonderful glow of the nrelikht.
It's the call OF the whippoorwill,
And the quiet hush at the midnight hour
When all the world is still
It's the moon rising over the treetops,
It's the lullaby of the pines.
And the wonderful song OF the river.
Where the white spray leaps and shines.

DEMAND FOR SILK HATS.
Shortage Of Labor in Britain Limits
the Output
From the Manchester G1ordion.

The silk hat trade is experiencing a
difficulty in regard to output. There
has been an extraordinary revival in the
trade, the demand for silk hats from
both Continental and home markets
grows greater every week. but while all
the silk makers available have been
placed at work. even veterans having
been brought from retirement. there is
still q serious shortage Of labor.
A majority OF the silk matters now
at work are men who have grown old
at their benches. At the present time
there is no fresh labor available. and
II is said that in the four silk hat firms
at Denton there are not more than
three apprentices.
For years the trade has experienced
hard times, and at one period 1t was
feared that silk hating would die out.
Now there does not appear to be suffi-
Client attraction In the trade for the
young men. who prefer felt hating, even
though II is claimed silk hating Is about
the best paid craft In the country.

The accident to the President
health, which citizens Of all ways Of
thinking unite in deploring both as a
public misfortune and with natural
sympathy for the individual sufferer.
devolves on other brains and other
energies the leadership and practical
management In its final stages Of the
long fight for the ratification of the
League covenant In the exact form In
which he brought 1t from Paris. Mr..
WILSON has been from the very first
not only the avowed protector Of a
new world government, involving on
our part an unprecedented excursion
away from the principles Of Ameri-
can nationalism, but he has also been
the main factor, abroad and at home
In promotion Of the enterprise and
the absolute master of the strategy
and tactics of his following. No other
single figure has counted greatly In
the business.
For this reason, from the point OF
view alike Of political responsibility
IN the larger sense and of his direct
personal interest in the intellectual
contest which the President described
at the outset as the matching OF
minds. it would have been thousand
times better II he could have seen the
business through In person. That
however, is not to be. The very inten'
sity and stubbornness Of his efforts to
realize a self-determined ideal, at nc
matter what cost to himself or tt
others, have broken him down before
the decision is reached. In spite of him
self he must stand aside and allow
lesser champions to direct the fight
for an unchanged covenant.
OF course 1t Is obvious that the
duty Of those who have been resist
ing the Presidents proposed entangle
ment of the United States in the In
definite obligations Of the League Of
Nations covenant is In no degree al
tered or affected by the misfortune
that has come to him. Even the effec
of opposition or defeat upon his per
sonal we'll being is not to be consid
cred for a moment, II anybody is 81
foolish as to urge that reason for ;
modification Of attitude, when meas
ured against the welfare of this Re
public for generations to come. B,
valid reservations, insisted upon b,
the Senate, the covenant must be mad,
safe for America. There is no les
reason now than formerly for discuss
ing with entire frankness every dan
gerous or doubtful feature Of the pro
posal, even those features which sug
eest criticism OF the Presidents pas
performances in relation to tn
portentous scheme.
We observe that the debate in tn
Senate is proceeding on this soun'
view Of the transcending requirement
of the situation, and this notwith
standing the hope In every heart tina
President WILSON may get well.
