ence between the two states. West
Virginia is poorly equipped in regard
10 law enforcement. The state militia
is practically non-existent, and the
a-ate constabulary is small and weak.
When the crisis came the governor
had to depend upon special deputies,
who could not be provided in sufficient
numbers to check the insurgent move
,nent. Illinois has large and we'll or
ganized militia, and there is little like
lihood that the state will fail and be
compelled to call upon the federal gov
crnment. In both cases it would ap-
pear that the cause Of the march is an
effort to compel the unionizing Of GER
tain mines. In West Virginia that is
sue has become plain beyond dispute.
The march of the miners was for the
purpose Of intimidating the non.union
workers and the operators owning the
non-union mines. In Illinois it seems
to be to the same end that the men
have armed themselves and gone forth
in a semi-military array.
The Stars staff correspondent in the
West Virginia field reports that the
miners have dispersed without actu-
ally surrendering all Of their arms or
even material part of them. and that
1t Is their avowed purpose to return
later when the federal troops are with
drawn and renew the fight for union
ization. On the other hand, he reports
a determination by the non-union
miners to remain unorganized, as they
have found it greatly to their advan-
tage to stay outside Of the union ranks.
The federal authorities will doubtless
take cognizance of these threats to re-
new the war" and maintain suf-
ficient federal guard until order is
definitely restored and guarantees are
given against a renewal Of lawlessness.
Meanwhile the courts should be set to
work to try on the gravest possible
charges those responsible for the Or
ganization of these miners into march
ing and fighting bands and the de-
fiance of the state laws.

The Happy Epitaph.

! The recent death of Prof George
Trumban Ladd calls to attention his
happy choice Of an epitaph. With
what completeness his philosophy is
expressed: Il have lived and loved
and labored; all is WELL"
| Life is q, gift. but, like the biblical
talents, it Is received in ways that
differ. Regard that timorous spirit
| who is cowed by nature or by cir
cumstances or by simple inertia; con-
| tent to eddy idly in a calm backwater
of existence: risking nothing of his
\ small sum of his experience; satis-
| fed with making the world no worse
| having no thought toward the better
ing thereof; negative, neutral, level;
| has he lived? A thousand times no
| What rewards might have been with
in grasp! The humble inception of
! effort does not necessarily limit it's
possibilities; man decides such things
| himself. The mute, inglorious Milton
who consents to his own silencing
has not lived; he has occurred and
! vanished. That Is all.
To have lived, with learning and
depth, with vigor and with direction
to have loved and known faith and
fire, and the terror that chokes; to

The Activity of the Drys.

The drys have accepted the chal
lenge of the vets. The vets assert
that the prohibition law cannot be en-
forced. The people will not have it
1t offends their sense Of liberty and
self-respect. 1t must go-piecemeal al
the start, but in time all Of it. Men
will not be dictated to about their ap
petites except by their physicians
While in health they are able to take
care of themselves. And so on.
Its up to the drys to disprove this
and they are aware of the fact that
the job is big one. The enemies Of
prohibition have attacked it on all
sides. Some have openly fiouted it.
Others have seemed to applaud the
flouters. Still others have made jokes
about it. Serious defiance has been re.
inforced by ridicule.
The drys are to begin their increased
activity in New York city and state.
The vets have been, and still are,
strong there. Before the eighteenth
amendment was passed their large in
vestments gave them. with other
things. a political pull" They dipped
into city, county, state and national
campaigns. and often divided their
contributions between the two parties.
Friends at court were thus assured,
no matter which party won.
The drys thus show courage and de-
termination. If the law can be en-
forced in New York it can be enforced
elsewhere. If New York proves too
strong for them they will get tip on
how much stronger they must make
themselves in order to put up a sue
cessful fight next year.

Judge Lands and Labor.

The decision of Judge Landis in the

tentions involved, should have a far.
reaching effect upon the relations of
labor and capital throughout the coun-
try. And. important though the wage
decisions undoubtedly are, involving
as they do reductions of from 10 to 80
per cent from current rates in the
trades involved. the major import of
the judges ruling lies elsewhere. 1t is
vigor with which a courageous arbi-
traitor has at last struck at waste for
the mere sake of waste; in the whole
sale eradication of "a maze of artificial
conditions" which, serving no sound
economic end. have tended to lift the
price Of building in Chicago to in
sufferable heights.
The real malady in building con-
struction in Chicago. according to
Judge Landis, lurked in the monopolis-
tic greed Of contractors and the make
work" regulations Of the unions. A
wall had been built about the city pre-
venting manufacturers and dealers in
building supplies from without from
marketing their supplies within. Judge
Landis razed that wall. Contracts pro-
hibited the introduction of labor-saving
machinery. restricted the amount of
work an individual laborer might do
in given period, forebade union men
{, work with non-union men under any
conditions. Judge Lands. asserting
tie malign effect of such provisions,
A!I'uck them out. Under the new regu-
terials are to be used by union work
ers, discrimination against any en-
ployer is forbidden, any journeyman
may use in his work the tools of any
other trade, small tasks Of not over
thirty minutes duration in any one
day belonging to any trade may be
performed by any other trade at the
discretion Of the employer. and in
case of scarcity Of help non-union men
may be hired to work with union men.
These are but samples indicating the
trend of the decision. The practices
rohibited-practices which by bring
ing building construction into bad re-
pute in Chicago there caused the wise
dollar to prefer almost any other form
Of activity and resulted in virtual
famine in housing accommodations
and the enforced idleness of many
thousands of men-are in no wise
peculiar to Chicago. With extraordi-
nary fatuousness theories and regula-
tions which cost labor and capital
heavily each year are clung to through
out the country.
Great as is the service which Judge
Landis has just rendered both sides
Of the industrial equation in the
Windy city, the greatest benefit to be
derived from his judgment lies in the
establishing of an example of common
sense equity which should be swiftly
smulated from the Atlantic to the
Pacific.

The Harbor Question.

The Commissioners are declaring
their purpose to continue the work of
cleaning up the river front. despite
protests that have been filed by the
lessees Of public property. The latter
contend that there is no just ground
for shutting of water transportation
from the wharves for the mere pur.
pose of the artistic development Of the
harbor. The Commissioners counter
by saying that there is no purpose to
stop water-borne commerce, but that
they merely propose to stop the stor.
age Of unsightly commodities at the
wharves. Consequently they have
given certain notices for reconstruc.
ton and the remedying of conditions.
The condition Of Washington's wa
ter front has been a reproach to the
city for many years. Indeed, never
has the "harbor" been worthy Of the
capital. Under the decision In the
X1dwell's bottoms case growing out of
the reclamation Of the Potomac fats
tho title to the water front rests in
the government. It is within the
power Of the District, as the agent of
tho government. to compel the adop-
tion Of any standard Of wharfing and
storage or even to abolish wharf privi-
leses altogether. OF course. there is
no possibility Of such an extreme use
of that authority, but it is undoubted-
~ desirable to make the water front
attractive. This has been done in the
case Of the Municipal market. and the
entire stretch from the tidal basin out
let to the barracks wall should be
brought mp at least to the mark Of
that establishment. The present
Nharves should be replaced with firm.
substantial STRUCTURES, preferably of
stous Or concrete. The crazy old sheds
should bs Destroyed. All warehouse
BUILDINGS should be Of q modern type
