The Slmmoklti Convention.
THE CONVENTION at Shamo
kln todny of the United
Mine "Workers of the three
anthracite districts will un
doubtedly respond to the counsel and
guidance of John Mitchell. If he
deems a strike wise, there will be a
strike; if he has other plans, they will
be carried out. John Mitchell's com
mand of tho miners' organization is
unquestionable; and it is merely just
to say that he lias exercised with dis
cretion and, upon the whole, with con
spicuous ability the power which he
holds. Taking into account the diffi
culties besetting the leadership of a
labor movement on the scale of the
United Mine "Workers, it must be re
cognized by all wishing to be fair that
he has succeeded to a, degree very un
usual in such matters; nnd he has had
efficient help from the district presi
dents, who have shown themselves men
of conservative inclination and pru
dence. Of the demands which seem likely to
come before the Shamokln convention
for indorsement, that for a recognition
of the union by the operators is prob
ably the one having the firmest sup
Iiort among the delegates. It is not
unreasonable. The union exists. It
controls the labor situation in and
about the mines. Declining to recog
nize it means withholding simply
something technical, for every opera
tor knows that it has to be recognized
in many way in the daily conduct of
business. By what logic the full sig
nificance of technical recognition is
withheld, we do not know. What the
operators have in mind ns the benefit
to accrue to them from such withhold
ing, we cannot guess. 1'ossibly this
will appear later on. At present, it is
in the dark.
Speculation as to what the conven
tion will do and as to the local conse
quences of its actions is naturally in
teresting but necessarily inconclusive.
Wo do not look for a strike. The con
ditions do not seem propitious for one
from tho standpoint of the miners,
both as individuals and as an organ
ization. Individually, they could not
nope to gain financially what they
would lose by one. As an organization,
they would run the risk of defeat,
which would be fatal, while, should
they win, they would be only techni
cally and not actually stronger than
they are now. There Is today no presi
dential election to enlist powerful poli
tical interests in their behalf; and,
while the amalgamation between hard
and soft coal unions is today much
further advanced than it was when the
last strike was declared, to call out the
soft coal men would sacrifice income
as well as weaken the fighting force
by immensely extending the battle-line,
und not to call them out would invite
dissension among the anthracite work
ers. For these reasons, whlc.li are as plain
to John Mitchell ns to anybody else,
wo do not expect a strike, and we ob
serve that in circles usually well-informed
our view is shared. Neverthe
less, it Is for tho convention, nnd not
for the press, to decide. "While a
strike would be a serious matter and
would impose great hardship upon
many persons, both among tho strikers
nnd throughout other circles in tho
anthracite region, it is noticeable that
tho public hereabouts does not view tho
possibility ofTono with tho same de
gree o apprehension $h in the 'full of
1'jOO. Many'tayrbtoiVheard to say

Scranton became a focus of labor poli
tics, they'wpuld prefer tho former,

them, lie says, have gone by the board.
There is little speculation nnd little
excitement. People tiro waiting.
Warehouses are full of sugar which Is
being hold pending an adjustment of
the tnilff question, It can, he thinks,
be hold for some time yet, but In the
meantime It ties up a lot of money nnd
those who Imve surplus cash In quan
tity ore holding 011 to It and' rofuslng
to lend It except In small niuiuinls nnd
nt Usmlous rates ot Interest. The
wealthy Spanish Interests arc compla
cent because they llgtire Unit they
stand to win whichever way the cat
Jumps. If a reduction In sugar duly Is
made, their pluntutlniis will Increase lit
Value nnd business will revive, In
which event they will profit liii-gely.
If It Is refused, they look upon nunexa
tlon ns certain to follow, In which event
they will have free access to the Amer
ican market. Mr. Pepper thus sum
marizes his view of the sltuutlon:
".Some oxnggetatlon has been In
dulged In with regard to the present
conditions. Nobody in Cuba. Is starv
ing today or need starve; nor need
anybody starve next year. Dttt If the
sugar Industry does not get some en
couragement a largo proportion of the
population of the island will have to
live from hand to mouth, and the pres
ent dull times may be followed by
worse times. .Somehow It, has not
seemed as though the case ot tho Cu
ban people was presented In the testi
mony before the ways and means com
mittee. They have a case and a very
strong case. In a broad way It may
be said that the whole population will
be benefited by anything that helps tho
sugar industry. If tho Inhabitants ot
the island do not receive some such
benefit, the difficulties of the new
Cuban government, which in any cir
cumstance are many, will be inci eased.
It is a question between a good start
and a bad start. After looking into
the situation a little I understand bet
ter why the American 'officials are
anxious for the American military au-
tnority to have its responsibility end
ed." In the meantime, the news from
"Washington is that the administration
will soon be in sufficient strength in
congress to carry its point a reciprocal
trade arrangement involving a mutual
reduction in duties of at least 20 per
cent, possibly limited to two years.
"What will be done at the end of the
two-year period is a bridge to be
crossed when it is reached.
Now that the dowager empress has
issued on edict against the habit of
insulting foreigners at Pekin, it will
soon be demonstrated whether t
moo can he convinced that It is fork
ing misplaced patriotism.
One copy goes twlllj other election
papers to the pro'thonotary. Any citi
zen objecting to tho work ot the regis
trars whether for registering or refus
ing to register a man claiming the
right to register shall npponl to court,
which must dispose of the matter bo
fore election. Each party may have
three certified watchers In each place
of registry. No registered person shall
be excluded from voting, except It shall
be shown to tho satisfaction of the
election officers, by affidavit filed, that
ho has changed his residence, und Is
no longer a resident of tho district. He
fore receiving his ballot, every voter
shall satisfy the election officers of his
identity, If challenged, by signing tho
registry list containing tho signatures
of electors In tho place provided for
that purpose, If able to do so, nnd by
the production of such other evidence
ns may ho required by law. In caBe of
loss of tax receipt affidavit may bo
made showing kind of tax and when,
where and to whom paid.
Theru nro provisions to Insure faith
fulness of reglsturs and penalties ga
lore. Thus for refusing without good
cause to servo as a registrar when ap
pojnled and notified a lino of $100 Is
specified. For knowingly registering
the name of a man not qualified by InW
or refusing to register a qualified voter,
$000 and a year In jail. For trying to
get leglstered when knowingly not
qualified and for falsely personating an
other or aiding in deception, $1,000 and
three years in Jail. For tampering with
thu written record, $300 or up to a year
ln jail or both. For the refusal by an
election officer of the vole of a duly
qualified voter or the acceptance of Un
vote of a disqualified voter, $1000 and
three years In Jail.
Such are the essential features of a
carefully drawn act sanctioned by those
who regard personal registration as a
means to the betterment of political
conditions. It is intended to apply to
cities only; but no doubt when the
cities ate purified a bill will bo forth

TO A TOMCAT.
It is now announced that the wire
less telegraph has an X-ray attach
ment which will enable the operator
to send messages through mountains, if
necessary." This may perhaps be cor
rect, but it is believed that tho wan
dering currents of electricity that
threaten the destruction of gas and
water pipes will cause more stir in the
near future than this latest feature of
the Marconi system.
Personal Registration.
"HBUE lies before us the draft
of an act for personal regis
tration which the Joint Com
mittee for the Promotion of
Electoral Reforms and the Merit Sys
tem in Pennsylvania has prepared for
submission to the next legislature. A
summary of its provisions will no doubt
be of general Interest, especially since
the bill has been accepted as part of
the demands or those wishing a re
organization in state affairs.
Section 1 directs the subdivision of
city wards into registry districts of not
to exceed 2500 voters, present election
districts not to be cut In two. Section
1! provides for the appointment by court
or three "sober and judicious persons,
of good moral character, able to read
and write" and not all belonging to the
same political party, to act as registars
ot electors, their pay and the pay of two
clerks to be fixed by court. The third
section fixes hours and dates of the
meeting or this board before a general
election. 011 a anil llpfnrn ,1 r.llv nl.i....

lll.X stilkes, riots, assaults, distinction

fail of accomplishment of the dciiied
purpose, the hot cot t is resorted la. Tim
law, and the decisions of the courts of all yr.idc
thioughout the country, including the Supieme
Court of the United States, declare a bo.tcott to
.1 con-piracy of person or organization to
iclrain one's business relations with otheis. by
thieats, intimidation, compulsion or force. In
cteiy Instance an injunction lias been granted
when petitioned for and setcie penalty imposed
when the order of the court has been disobeyed.
Under the constitution and the luw, boycott
ing is as much a crime as are any of the hun
dreds for which men aie nirestcd, tiled, omict
ed and puuMicd, the only difference being, that
the law does not ptotide a penalty for its
tiolatiou by a boycott. This absence of penalty
explains why the tlolators of this law can not
be punished until an injunction has been ol
tallied and a lcslraining older issued, for the
tiolatlon of which the peipetrator i arrested
and punished. His! offense then becomes one for
which the law preside .1 penaltj, tiz; con

bojeotts, in hundreds ot instances, dcmonstiatus
that almost without exception they are ptotiio
titc of the inteu-sls of those against whom thi-v
nre uccureti.
When organized labor contended for iu-t and
humane principles and its altalrs were managed
by men of character, capacity anil integrity, it
had the sympathy and approval of that public
sentiment which is eucntlal to success iu all
such enterprises or undertakings. Then, bojiotU
1 101 ted to for the puipose of coicctlng some
palpable it long, some glaring abuse, were made
cltcctlie by public opinion. Hut during recent
jcars, the mistakes of judgment inciting to
delation of law, not., a-aults, unjust and in
toleiable demands: the long calegoiy of irev,.
passes upon the- right of tho community In ull
departments of business and labor, have alienated
public sentiment, until ciiganired Jabur Is con
demned by u laige majority of Its o,n inembcis,
ami a still larger majority of the public in gen
eral. 'Ihe couectness of this ntattmrnt will be
lontcdtd by intelligent men, and is eddeneed
by the lack of attendance', compulsory p. 13 incuts
of dues, the desire to obtain implojment in
ficc shops, and alto, hy the general attitude of
all classes) of business men.
It Is u lamentable fact that in tety ninny in.
stances, bojeotts aie declared against establish
mints which pay the highest wages and in whidi
me- ui-iiare 01 me tvoiKc-r is ma iiigucst con
sideration influencing tho management. An un
worthy binlnes agent or leader finds or manu
factures some tibial excuse for a lumplalnt or
misunderstanding, and, suddenly becomes piwc-es-cd
of au intense ambition to show Ills personal
authority and demonstrate tho power of organiz
ed labor to "bring the biggest and best ot 'tin to
their knees." Demands are nude which aie .
outrageous in diatatti-r tlut no self-ieliaut man
can ctcn con-ent to atbltrate them. Then ii-aaon,
justice, llio welkin- 01 fellow workmen, give
place to a mad passion to "do tho boss," and a
strike und boycott is detlainl without a shadow
of jiMtitlcallou.
In tiew of all these fuels, there is no,v no

able, intelligent man and good citizen, to adopt
thLs unlawful and unjust polity, his sense of

Boarding Schools
THE HOTEL PLAN.
No doubt tho common complaint
Hiiulo by students about the food served
In boni-dlng1 schools Is often ill-founded,
and is sometimes made by those who
do not live well nt home; but It must
be remembered that most .students In
boat'diticr schools are passing through
u, period ot he most critical physical
nnd mental development and their ap
petites, for this reason, nre capricious.
They need a variety of foods from
which to choose. Food not relished,
does not nourish well. At the
BLOOMSBURG
STATE NORMAL SCHOOL
the best the market affords Is pur
chased. Food c-nntulning the nourish
ing Ingredient! In the proper propor
tions needed by growing bodies und
active bruins Is provided. It Is pre
pared by professional cooks who know
how,
fctinlents enter the dining room at
their convenience between certain
hours, and order from the bill of faro
what best suits their appetites. The
food Is served hot on warmed dishes,
to each student separately. The order
may be repeated until the appetite is
satlnllot.
For bieakfast: te.i, coffee, cocoa or
milk may be chosen. Toast with hot
milk; some cereal; fruit often; u choice
of at least two meals; potatoes; egp,s
when they enn be had fresh. From
this the character of other meals may
bo judged. Quite different this, from
the stereotyped boarding school break
fast, where all sit down at the tap of
the bell, cat what Is placed before them
or nothing, within .1 fixed time and
often with no prhllego ot replenishing
tho platter.
Wo know ot no other boarding school
that provides thus for the- young peo
ple placed under Its cute. Send for
