WHY THE STEEL STRIKE FAILED.

HE steel strike, official notice of the failure of which
was issued yesterday failed not because of the press
the courts federal troops, state police any of the other
agencies enumerated the statement of the committee
which in charge but because it was not an American
strike and did not have the support of public opinion
If the steel strike had been on the level" would have
been tremendous affair and without doubt would have
had much different outcome. The attitude assumed by
Judge Gary toward the representatives Of the unions in
the negotiations preceding the actual calling out Of the men
was not at all popular He is obstinate man. but he
would have been compelled to ecedc from the position he
took if the charge of the employees interests had
managed their side of the controversy with the kind of
skill and patience the situation demanded But they were
confident they had the steel industry in their grasp and
like the military clique in Prussia, they decided 10 bull ii
through.
The disastrous result of such policy has been known
10 the country for weeks 1t is now officially admitted
1t will color all the relations of labor and capital for years
to come, and unless the unions clean house and prove
tile world that the kind of radicam which brought about
this un-Amercan and thoroughly dishonest strike has been
eliminated from organized labor in this country, organized
labor is going to suffer-
These the things that should occupy the minds of
the who make up the union ranks and not threats Of
strike of revenge which the committee its Statement, Of
yesterday makes The great lesson of the steel strike that
STRIKE no matter how well organized can succeed in
this country if it does not have the backing of public
opinion

PARTISAN MADNESS.

ZONE amazing things have been said by the politicians
- Of the country about the peace treaty. but the attempt
OF the Democratic National committee TO lay the failure
Of the senate to ray the peace treaty lack of patriotism
caps the climax for righteousness.
The truth is that the treaty has been held up simply
because the senate was patriotic There are plenty Of
American citizens who feel that this was misdrcced pa
trotsm but level headed man can doubt that was
sincere and that of the who threw themselves
INTO the fight to Amercanize the treaty which Mr. Wilson
brought back from Paris realized that they were taking
grave political risks.
II may show lack of understanding that will cast
reflection the quality Of craftsmanship at this par
tcuar period but there much doubt that poserity
will fully approve the r~ives of the men who wanted u
be Of their ground before they committed this nation
to policy which many felt might imperl American free
dom Of action in succeeding years.
It the earnest hope of those people who want to see
the great Republic throw its full weight the scale

10 make war less liable to break that the treaty will not
become issue of the presidential campaign which now

ties will welcome the opportunity to show where they stand

Bryan, the irrepressibe. is of the opinion that the
country is in need of national bulletin which will pre-
sent to the people the issues upon which they must
act He thinks that because editors human there
is certain bias about the ordinary newspaper. Is ii
fair to assume from this that Mr. Bryan has invented
a way to get editing done that is not human? The
truth is that Bryan is of the human of our
public men. and he thinks any paper that he is not
editing is morally and intellectually ndcfensibe Bryan
never strong logic or he would see that the

the newspapers of being guilty There is great deal
OF dissatisfaction with newspapers just present
most of their shortcomings due to conspiraces to
keep them from getting real facts and substitute c

circles and the indications that newspapers
OF this country will be freer and ranker than they
were before very soon. and in addition they will have
the advantage Of being ordinarily intelligent, and this
latter is quality that would be of the question
for an organ such as Mr.. Bryan proposes.

Editorial Comment
on Current Subjects
JERE e. WHEELWRIeHr.
(BY coNooJ

From the Baltimore Sun.
Everybody who knew or had ever
come into contact with "Jere" Wheel
wright-and this means a legion On
people here and elsewhere-will feel,
in reading the announcement of his
death, that peculiarly fine human
quality has been lost to them in the
earthly extinction of his loving and
generous spirit. A self-made man
with big business brain, he could
hold his own in the game of life with
the best players. He rose from the
ranks and made his way to the front
on his own merits. But what his &C
quaintances and friends will dwell
upon most in thinking OF him now ana
hereafter will not be his mastery OF
business, but the personal traits which
enabled him to master hearts.
He was not simply one of the good
fellows" who are always popular, and
to describe him as big hearted" and
lovable does not tell the whole story.
He had way Of making life brighter,
for the passing moment, for those who
came within reach OF his CHEEKY and
cheering nature, and Of making peo-
pie think better OF their kind and OF
the world. The last man who would
have figured as representative OF
any formal cult OF brotherhood, he was
an involuntary and unconscious pro-
pagandist of goodwill. He could not
help dispensing light and warmth OF
spirit to those about him, and perhaps
he did not deserve any special credn
for it. But natures like his are so
rare, so attractive and so helpful that
we miss them more deeply when their
light is quenched than we do a host
Of moralists who have never come
within ten thousand miles OF our souls.
After all, this is one OF the su.
preme tests OF whether life has been
successful or not. Mr.. Wheelwright
in national and industrial emergencies
showed himself a patriot OF the high
est type, and man of great open
ness and fairness Of mind, as we'll as
one OF unusual wisdom in worldly al
fairs, as men count wisdom. But that
is not the central thought in the mind
about him now. We think rather of
his instructive sympathy, his broad
humanity. his kinship to all other
men, high or low.
The world seems good deal darker
this morning to those who knew him.
now that he has gone out from it.

In deciding to go to San Francisco for their national

lance away from what their Mr. Bryan called the

to be great gain. The south and the influence it
crts upon the Democratic party has been drag upon
both national parties and upon the whole country for
years.
