THE RIGHT TO STRIKE
In a public address at Indianapolis Mr
John Mitchell the coal strike loader be-
trayed a little of that vanity which Is com-
mon to all and which unhappily undoes
many men suddenly callod to responsibility
The people are prone to believo he said
that a man whose name has appeared in
the press dally for tho last few months and
whose picture has been printed In tho news-
papers from one coast to the other is a
great orator but I am just a plain talker
In this we discover with the disavowal of
oratorical protenslon the unwitting confes-
sion that ho is flattered by his fame
But that Is an aside It Is mentioned in
passing only to show that wo aro all sons
of Adam Mr Mitchell has not yet ex-
hibited un Indication of yielding to vanity
or unworthy ambition He Is n strong man
and a wise leader and he has done moro to
dignify and popularize labor unions than
any man of his times
Tho main point of his address was his dec-
laration that labor can not yet abandon tho
weapon of the strike Considering the pow-
erful enginery of capital In the form of
trusts oery fair man must concede that
labor needs something for defense and In
the absence ot anything bettor tho strike Is
Its only resort
Nono will question the right of laborers
to strike though the wisdom of doing so
la not always to clear Tho publics proper
objection to the fctrike Ib not to the exer-
cise of the right but to the violence which
so often accompanies It Mr Mitchell and
alljhe intelligent labor leaders profess ab
horrence of violonce both In principle and
In policy and their slncorlty can not bo
challenged lint it must bs said that among
the masses of labor unionists theijp is not
such abhorrence On tho contrary riot Is
too frequently manifest as a studious part
of the program
Tho public will never come to condone vio-
lence and every outbreak hurts the general
cause ot labor more than It helpn tho par-
ticular ntrug lo in which it Is Invoked Or-
der is preeminently the requirement ot or
gnnlaed society and whoever sets himself
ngainst it Is for tho time being a publio
enemy
Kate events In labor disturbances abun-
dantly show that tho reasonable demands
of workinginen will always receive popular
approval anil that publio sentiment is tuoio
powerful than statute or persuasion It was
public sentiment that enabled the president
to bring about an arbitration of the coal
strike uftt r his proposal had been liiboleutly
spurned by the operators and the great-
hearted and fulr minded American people
tuny be depended upon always to tako tho
side of light
Therefore labor will meet speedily pro-
mote Its own cads by cultivating public
sentiment nnd by presorviug order will show
Itself worthy of sympathy
Labor loadors like Mr Mitchell who have
the our of workinginen can do a greator
service to their cause by teaching this policy
than by any other kind of education

A remedy has been discovered by which the
bell weevil will soon he gotten rid of An Aus-
tin Society lady has signified her intention of es-
tablishing a new style by adorning her hat with
boll weevil and it is easy to foretell the result
When all the society ladies follow her example
as they will of course the days of the cotton post
will be numbered Yoakum Times
The farmers throughout Texas have declared
war against the boll weevil Longvictu Times
Clarion
One of the best signs of the times is the great
interest both farmers and business men are taking
in the protection of crops against the weevils and
other insect pests The farmers arc beginning
to realize the necessity of burning not only the
stalks but weeds as well Weevils worms
and bugs use both stalks and weeds as winter
sleeping places and the burning of this trash is
one of the easiest and most effective methods of
exterminating them Greenville Banner
The farmers of Houston county and citizens
generally are thoroughly aroused to the necessity
of taking some action to check the ravages of the
boll weevil during the approaching season and
will meet in convention at Crockett next Satur-
day to discuss the subject and adopt some policy
The war is on against the little monster all over
the cotton belt of Texas and as it is a case of
selfpreservation on both sides we may expect
a fight to a finish with the Lord on the side of
intelligent diversification and a reduced cotton

Trade With China
New York Commercial
Ten years ago the United States was selling
less than 1000000 of manufactured cotton
goods to the people of Cathay In 1900 it is
pointed out by Mr Barrett our sales reached
10000000 an increase of 1000 per cent nt the
rate of over too per cent a year If all the peo-
ple of China used the average proportion of cot-
ton clothing all of the cotton grown in the world
would not be sufficient to tiatisfy their wants
The demand for China for Our flour I enormous
A very small portion of Chinas millions of peo-
ple has as yet been educated to eat American
Hour but if tile increase continues at the pres-
ent rate they will be consuming in a few jents
an amount equivalent to more than the entire
surplus product of California Oregon and Wash-
ington combined
The question naturally arises How can China
pay for our exports if they increase to such u
enormous amount The answer is through tho
development of her natural resources China pos-
sesses almost inexhaustible natural resources She
has the largest bed of anthracitu coal in the
world and thousands of acres of land rich in
iron and copper ore Through the development
of these natural resources the Civilized nations
will be benefited in two ways They will supply
an unlimited amount of raw material for our
manufacturing industries and furnish a market
capable of absorbing our greatest possible surplus
production

Dili he like Hacr Gods chosen one
Hold up the coal cud wait
For pticCs to go up anil up
Till winters icy breath

And froze them all to death
Did lie like great New Yorks Van Wyck

Help corner all the ice in sight
And wait and wait and wait

Hived in the poor mans shack
Died praying to the poor mans Odd
To take their spirits back
Did he consolidate all greed

As Morgan does today
And hoard the very staff of life
Till men were forced to pay
Him sucli a price as he did set
Or else to wander by
With their wee loved ones in their arrrti
And see them starve and die
Of course if Alexander did
Such things then I do say
He was A great man by the rod
We measure by today
But if he only slaughtered men
And never laid in wait
To starve and freeze the poor for gain
He wasnt very great

SOME LEADING EDITORIALS
Too Great to Be Sectional
From the Atlanta Journal1
The New York Herald has taken from its
editorial page the name of Theodore Roosevelt
which it has been printing as its choice for presi-
dent The Herald is a great newspaper the best in
America It is not only great because it gets the
news and prints it without regard to conse-
quences or expense hut it is great because it is
always absolutely and fearlessly independent
It is great because without regard to politics
municipal State or National it invariably takes
the peoples side
It is too great a newspaper to be partisan or
sectional therefore in view of President Roose
velts recent appointments in the South it can-
not longer give him its support
What the Herald and other great independent
newspapers of the North are doin is sure to
mould public opinion and to leave as President
Roosevelts sole support the partisan republicans
whose misfion has been to create prejudice
against a sreat lawabiding prosperous section
of the country
The Journal congratulates the people of the
whole country not of the South alone that in
the great metropolis of the nation there is a-
New York Herald
One blast from its editorial bugle is worth
more than a thousand editorials intemperate or
otherwise which Southern papers can pnut on
the subject
No one will envy the record for sectionalism
that President Roosevelt has made
Private Pension Bills
From thi New Orleans TimesDemocrat
Mr Ru el of Texas a new congressman re-
cently elected to fill the De GrafTcnreid vacancy
deserves the thanks of the American public for
his protest against the undue haste in consid-
ering private pension legislation Mr Russell
pointed out that the present congress has already
passed over a thousand private pension bills
A very feeble defense was made of this prac-
tice but there is really nn defense Private pen-
sions are probably the worst Fteals perpetrated on
the government Our pension laws are too liberal
as It is and give nearly one hundred and fifty mil-
lion dollars in pensions or ten times as much a <
they should ghe but congress not satisfied with
this extravacant generosity by special act passes
all the fraudulent pension claims the commis-
sioner of pensions rejects 1 his is done by a
discreditable system of Iok rolling by which con-
gressmen allow each other s private pensions to
slip through on the understanding that their own
pensions shall be similarly passed or rather not
objected to It is natural that a steal of this
kind should gtow worse with years The evil
has long heen recognized and it is most objec-
tionable and repulsive to many congressmen but
n friendly feeling for brother members who were
most active in this raid has persuaded them to
remain quiet and although they refuse to give
their approval to the raids they permit them by
raising no protest
Mr Russell being a new member is apparently
ignorant of this congressional courtesy which in-
duces so many members to bt absent from con-
gress on private pension day or to look in the
other direction when the raiders are at work and
he has raised his voice against one of the worst
abuses of congress Let us hope that his actipn
will arouse others to join in the protest A dozen
vigorous protestants who call public attention to
these steals would very soon put an end to them
High Praise for Senator Vest
From the New York Evening Post
Senator Vest whose mind bums clear in the
midst of his failing bodily powers has just
shown in his twoday debate on the coal tax
what degree of truth there is in the current
laments about the decline of oratory An orator
in the traditional sense Mr Vest never was even
in his prime He had neither the physical pres-
ence nor the voice nor the personal magnetism
nor even the finished rhetorical art whichwe
associate with great public speaking But he was
always a formidable debater and the ready way
in vvhich he bowted over one republican senator
after another with the eager attention with
which this feeble old man was listened to by both
floor and gallery lvorc witness to the fact that
decay had not yet touched his nimble intellect
What arc the qualities which make his an-
tagonists dread him Eir t and especially in
tariff questions where he has ever been masterly
sound information He krows whereof he af-
firms Many a glib protectionist like Senator
Hale on one occasion has had reason to regret
challenging Senator Vests accuracy He goes
documented as a cowboy goes armed and the
result of an encounter is as dangerous in one
case as the other Then he is perfectly fearless
and honest He is willing to tell the truth and
shame not merely the devil many a man is
ready to do that but what Is much rarer shame
his own party Otherwise he could not have
t 4e so overwhelming a retort as that with
which he silenced Senator Aldrich That gen-
tleman took occasion to sneer at Mr Vests free
trade opinion as held only when they did
not count Why had not the democratic party
when in power done what it now rebuked the
republican party for not doing We wanted to
was the Missouri senators response as swift as
lightning but the interests
same which jou now
represent held up the senate then as they are
doing today What are you going to with A

A Cure for Blood Poisoning
Now York Herald
The remarkable recovery of the female colored
patient of Bcllevue hospital from blood poison-
ing as the result of an intravenous injection of
formalin will doubtless be hailed with great satis-
faction by the medical fraternity
So far as one case may prove a point there
the direct relations
appears to be no doubt regarding
tions of cause and effect The alleged remedy
needs now only to be tried mid proved in other
and similar conditions of disease to give it a
lending place in the treatment of one of the
mo t intractable of human ailments
Puerperal fever in its more serious forms is
almost invariably fatal From such a point of
view the result in question appears little short
of a miracle A most promising feature in the
putlook is the simplicity of the measure adopted
Furthermore the theory not a new one in it-
self is founded on the rational and intelligible
basis of directly attacking the primary cause of
trouble Heretofore all efforts to apply it to prac-
tice have failed
Although blood poisoning is a complex pro
phases of manifestation accord
cess having many
ing to the character and degree of infection it
of
is initiativcly due to the entrance certain
