O. for more common sense In educa
Ion! To Fight It Out.
FAIM'I.K of the neRotlattons
foi a pe.ioe.tne endltiK of the
steel strike Is deplorable
fioin the standpoint of the
losses which a piolonned contest will
Inflict not only upon the bclllRetents,
hut likewise upon defenseless neutrals.
Alieady these los.-e I lui.e mounted
high among the millions and in mo.it
instances they will not lie made pood
no matter upon what tcims the tliml
settlement Is touched. Still more de
plorable Is the inenaep held over pub
lic order, which ma.v at any moment
devrlop into costly forms of riot.
Vet if theie s no better way than a
biutal IIrIii to determine the mastery
of the AmerliHu steel industry, let
the ilRht come iuickly and be soon
ended. The Is-mio is clearly defined.
On the one side Is the Amalgamated
association, with a demand, in sub
stanee, that It shall tnonoptdlze the
labor factor In the steel business and
dlvidewlrii iheciiiploylm; IntereMs con
trol of the ni' u employed in their mills.
Opposed to it Is the steel trust, de
mandlncr, In subsume, that its mills
shall be open to union anil non-union
emplojes alike, without discrimina
tion oi Intimidation. It does not chal
lenge the liRht oi labor to oiganlze, but
It does dispute the tlRht of organized
lab6r to draw dead lines around 'work
men not of their union: and the logic
of lis position, now- that the die is
cast for war without quarter, will lie
refusal heieafter to deal otherwise than
with emplo.te-. directly.
As to the outiome, theie is little un
certainty. The woikliiginen have been
placed by tiled leaders in an untenable
position and no matter how bravely
they shall stiKe to maintain It, their
defeat Is Inevitable.
Mr. Kt tiger is credited with having
Induced tie Hoeis to lontinue their
leclng stnrgple by the tabled assuiance
tlm Alleviation would be sent when
nffded. It seems to us that It Is about
time for Oom Paul to begin to deliver
the goods.
Fundamental Truths.
Pnoi-KKOINUS In various
i mrts R-'iwing out of strikes
by labor oignnlailonn for
higher wages or belter terms
of work Tvcal an almost uniform ten
dency mi the pail of til unionized
worklnpman to let inn.i of his pug
narltv out on the fellow woiklngman
who does not i hoo-e to jojn his union.
The "scab" so called for cxeicNlng a
constitutional rtplit H jecied at,
thteatened. pivcnted fioin purchasing
the neieiiiiei of life, and in many
las's Hcluall., assaulted, I'pon his
head and upon the heads of hi.4 wife
and t hlldren aie heaped all the -corn
find Iciiomlny that malice can devise;
in the ptii-hiilt of him law Is continu
ally being violated, property destroyed
arfrl a condition of riot Invited; and
all because th spirit which sent mar
tyrs and wiiclies to the faggot pile in
the years of darkness still lives in tho
human breast, onlv .slight ly subdued
by the veneer of our boasted modem
civilization.
Mort of th men now engaged pro
fessionally in fomenting stilkes and
strife are shrewd enough not to put
themsplves on public recoul as favor
ing trje boycotting and abuse of non
union; worklngmen. They perceive
that to db this would put In Jeopardy
the public sympathy for the cause of
lahorwhlch is an essential factor In
th success of their calculations.
Where they fall short in ungaclty,
however, 1? in not peueivlng that In
order to retain public sympathy they
must not merely enter perfunctory
disavowals of this nauovv nnd danger
ous spirit of proscription, but actu
ally and earnestly combat It. Some of
them appear to forget that compulsion
and the tyranny of force; never yet fur
nished a duruble basis for any foim
of grojvth In tho atmosphere of Ameri
can liberty, nnd that the surest wny
to electioneer for a downfall In this
count iy Is to claim privileges for one
class And deny them to another. These
aie bringing oignnlzed labor's wholo
caute into reproach.
Tliejgioundwoik of Americanism Is
equality of pilvllegcs befoio tho law.
Thus men may Join labor unions who
will, and stilko when and where they
plea?e; but they are not to trespass
on the lights of tho neighbor who
elects to remain out of tho labor union
nor to try tn execute vengeance upon
him when he offers to fill their vacated
place. As well might the members of
our chinches take literally the scrip
tural Injunction to put on the aimor of

and club, proceed (o ansnll the Infidel!".
Man Is not made, for labor unions, but
labor unions nre made for man. Home
men. apparently, feel the need of them
Hnd some don't; but those who do have
no light in law nr inouils to Interfere
with thoue who don't.
Simple us these truths nte. evidence
is wldCHpiead nnd cuinulatlvo that they
ate either unknown to or else dlsie
gnided by thousands of Americans
who, If the relative position wete re
versed; If the "scabs" were numeious
enough nnd poweiful enough to make
mincemeat of the unionists, would dc
ciy with clanioious emphasis any nt
tempt to force them to nbandon their
union. The tule of equal rights knows
no favorites. The law Is for the union
ist nnd for the "scab" without dis
crimination "In eminent by Injunc
tion" Is as open to one as to the other.
Those only need fear It who aiemluded
to commit acts of rucioacliment upon
the rights of others. And not until
labor unions lay alde strikes, boycotts
and nil forms of persecution and vio
lence will they be a teal help to honest
workers.

Will Niagara Vanish?
THOSK WHO have not alieady
lslted Buffalo, the Pan
American and Niagata had
better not put it off too long.
If they sJmuld, they would perhaps Hnd
Hutfalo n lingering hint of past gieat
nes. and tho "Pan-Am." an annul of
antiquity, but Niagara would be no
mot e,
Kor, according to Professor Orabau,
a Itennselar Polytechnic Institute ex
pert on locks and stones, befoio the
grent cataract, which Is now cutting
Its wny backward along tho bed of the
liver to Lake Kile at the rate of about
four feet a year, reaches the head of
(Jrand Wand less than live miles away,
there will be mi Niagara. The whole
s.vstem of the Ureal Lakes, he asserts.
Is changing. The waters of Lake Michi
gan at I'hlcago aie slowly rising, and
Lake Krle Is growing shallow. Kvcnt
u, illy, unless a dam Is built to pi event
It. ns has- heen proposed, Lake Michi
gan will overllow to the Illinois liver,
as It did centuries ago In the last prc
glacial period; the basin of Lake Krlo
will be tributary to Lake Huron, the
current will be leverscd In the Detmlt
and the St. Clair channels, and the
whole lake system will dialn southward
Into the Mississippi. Then Niagara will
vanish.
This will not happen irr a minute. In
fact, it will not begin to happen much
shoit of a thousand yea is. Lake Michi
gan's watei.s nie rising at the late of
only nine or ten Inches In a century.
At this rate It will take about I'.HOO
yeais for the Illinois liver to compete
strongly with Niagata liver for the
honor of di .lining the lake basin. Fif
teen hundred years latei, according to
Professor (ir'ibau's calculations, the
Illinois river will get all of the suiplus
water of the lakes; unless, In the
meantime, man shall arm-t natuie'tt
cc centilcltles. The shoaling of Lake
Krle at Cleveland and at other points
on the Ohio shoie has alieady given
cause for alarm and the stoppage of
this natuial movement in the general
drainage s.vstem of the lakes, which is
attlibiltcd to the giadual tilting ol the
land In the Northwest, has been seri
ously considered. The plan proposed to
stop the tendency is to elect an im
mense dam in the Niagara river above
Huffalo, with tlio object of cheeking
and eventually deer easing the oulllow.
This- tilting of the leriltoiy in the
northwest, as a w liter In the New Voik
Sun recently pointed out. Is a curious
phenomenon for which tho geologists
cannot wholly account. It Is plainly
recorded in the beaches of the old
glacial lakes, which had a uulfoim c le.
vatlcui while forming, hut now aie no
longer of a unlfoinr height above the
sea level, rising progressively tow a id
the noitheast. The movement 16 still
going on. Piofessor t!. IC. Cilllieit has
made an extended study of the prob
lem and he has been led to the assump
tion that the whole; lake legion Is being
lifted on one side, or clepicssed on the
other, so th.it Its plane Is bodily canted
towaicl the south-southwest. The rate
of change, he cellmates, Is such tliat
the two ends of a line 10D miles long
and lying In a south-southwest direc
tion are iclatlvely displaced to tho ex
tent of four-tenths of a foot In a cen
tuiy. From this it follows that the
wateis of each lake aie gradually ris
ing on the southern and western slimes
or falling on the northern and eastern
shoics, or both.
Opposition to the pioposecl damming
of Nlacara comes mainly fiom the capi
talists who aie Inteiestrd in the de
velopment of electrical power at tho
falls. They fear a dam would Inteifere
with their business. It probably would,
but If scientific Investigation shnll con
firm the need of one, they will have to
take their chances.
From the manner In which tho
Democratic newnpapers lash themselves
Into a frenzy over the Schley investi
gation, one would almost Imagine that
they consider it a campaign issue.
Criminal Neglect.
IN THK northern part of Minne
sota some 7,000 Chippewa In
dians, divided into a dozen bands,
own Inndrt having on them pine
foiests estimated to be worth $8,000,000.
According to tho chief (Ire warden of
that state, white lumbcimen have in
many cases tricked these Indians Into
making most unfair sales of this stand
ing timber nnd have followed up their
shaip dealing by wanton wastefulness
In their methods of cutting the timber.
The watden t-ays that were the gov
eminent to buy the Chippewa foicst
lands for a public paik, pnjlng tho
Indians $3,000,000 for them In install
ments of $100,000 a year for fifty yeais,
the lands could be administered on for
estry principles n as to yield the gov
ernment an average of $lu0.000 a year
moie than paying for the path. As It
Is, tho Indians are being cheated nnd
made to feel sullen and levengeful to
ward the whites; about 70 per cent, of
the valuable timber on their lands is
being cut In the most wanton nnd
wasteful manner, so that It will he
many years before a new pinwth can
take Its place; nnd what Is not wasted
or cut piemnturely Is Imperilled nnd In
many Instances snrtlilctd by forest
fires deliberately stnited by the lum
bermen to open pathways for the mote
inpld bringing out of rirrrrcil logs.
This Is not wholly a subject of senti
mental Interest to ihmmhis living nt n
distance fiotn Minnesota; foi as the
Minnesota foiestry olllelal says. It will
make a dllfeience of hundreds of dol
lars to eveiy poison who has to buy
lumber In quantities' In the next twenty
five yenis, whether that state shall per
sist In what he terms Its present waste
ful consumption of forests, or Inaugur
ate measures for forest legenerallon.

Do Vacations Pay?
ONK OF those piosy Individuals
who nte foiever reducing the
expel lences of their fellow
men to tabulated numer
als figures It out that vacations cost
the American people not less than
$100,000,000 a year; and then ensues tho
question; Aie they worth the price '.'
A writer In the Chicago Tribune
points out that with $100,000,000 public
libiaries might be established all over
the country and half a dozen gieat unl
veisities propei ly endowed, still leav
ing money enough to carry out several
niuch-needecl lefoiins, Would It not
be worth while, the writer asks, to re
fialn ft inn taking vacations for one
year and put all the money so saved to
a moro useful purpose? Ho evidently
thinks not, for lie adds;
"To almost every individual a vaca
tion Is worth all ho pays for It. A
week or two, properly spent, may Im
prove the health and acid to the vigor
of a workmnn In almost any industry
to such an extent that lie will moro
than makes up lor the time nnd money
lost by doing more nnd better work
during the lemalnder of the year. The
money spent in vacations, vast a the
sum Is in the aggregate, is not to bo
mourned ns u loss. It is, on tlio aver
age, proiltably expended. Instead of
complaining of the large number of
people who now take vacations, an ef
fort should be irrade to give every man
who works steadily a season for rest
nnd recreation dining each year."
The fact that the American people
nre accumulating wealth moie rapidly
than any other people on the globe
and beating out fair competition in
all parts of the globe olfeis ample
justification for the vacations they
take. Hut It remains to be added that
vacations, to be of greatest usefulness,
should be sanely planned and Intelli-
centlv executed. They should bo neii-
odb of well moderated recreation com
bined with rest, ami not maniacal de
bauches.

teresting to note, has existed for hun
