For governor of Pennsylvania, on the
Issue of an open field and fair play,
, JOHN F. ELKIN, of Indiana,
subject to the will of the Republican
masses.
Cannot Bo Compromised.
IT arAY cost time, money and, pos
sibly, though we hope not, blood
shed to le-establlsh In this coun
tiy certain old-fashioned pilnd
ples now conspicuous by their system
atic and wldespiead violation, but it
will be done. Among them .up:
The i ight of labor to sti Ike for bettei
conditions when it -ees lit. This, once
disputed, is now geneiully conceded.
The light of other men to take in
peace and in fieedom fiom molestation
the places which stilUeis olunt.uily
quit.
The light of piopeity to protect itself.
The light of tiee expiession of opin
ion or belief; the i igrht to come and go
without let or hindiance, and the light
of the einplojet to h.ne some voice in
the conduct of ills business.
Denial of .inv of these lights Is an
attack upon the diameter of Ameiican
institutions, unite as icious as If It
weie by aimed foice for the declared
put pose of met tin owing the go em
inent. Denial by action is even woise
than denial by speech.
TlnoiiglTbut a l.uge poition of the an
thracite legion today theie Is in evi
dence a systematic attempt to nullify
one pi moie of these lights. Thus far
the tuibulent spiiit which usually
manifests itself upon such occasions
has been kept fiom wholesale clash
with ofllceis of the law, though it has
bioKen out In a laige number of minor
acts of lawlessness, home of them
shockingly unmindful of justice and
tail play. But the fact that a condition
of this kind can be woiked up and a
gieat buiden put upon the peaceful in
dustiy and commerce of an entlie com
munity without piote.st on the pint of
those who suffer most, and in Instances
it would seem almost by theii conni
vance, indicates cither a laiget patience
or n feebler comagp among out citizen
ship than In eailler jeais, It must be
the toimcr, not the latter.
Some things can be compromised.
"V.iges cm be. Houis of woik can be.
No employer of intelligence wishes to
let a few cents a day In wages or a few
minutes of woiklng time stand between
hlin and the orderly conduct of his
business. If conditions will penult, he
will concede hefote he will penult u
stilkc, knowing what that costs. Hut
the pilnclples mentioned above cannot
lie ai bill, tied nor compiomlsed, for
they aie fundamental, They must be
sustained at any and eeiy cost. The
candid, thinking opinion of the countiy
sees tills and Is willing to, meet the
issue whenever and wheiever it ailes.
If ever a faithful body of woikeis do
served itd(3(ti.ite compensation, It Is the
public school teaeheis of Set anion. The
lloai d of Contiol can well affoid to
vote an inciease of salaiy.

At Tuskegee.
IN COMMEMORATION of the 21st
commencement exercises at Hook
er Washington's Industrial school
at Tuskegee, the Montgomery
Adveitlser on Memoiial daypilnted u.
most instinctive levlew of the school's
woik. While some of the facts present
ed In this lev low are more or less famil
iar to noilhern leadeis, they meiit
lepetitlon.
Twenty-one yeais ngo the Tuskegee
hool had one teachei and thlity pu
pils, with no giounds or buildings. The
giaduntes now numbei 461, while It has
given moie or le'-s Instiuctlon to over
5,000 otheis. They aie In eveiy southern
and many of the noithetn stales and,
the Adveitlser add, in almost every In
stance they aie canvlug out the Tuske
gee Idea of home getting, tax paj ing and
materially helpful citizenship. The first
dass went out In 1883. One of the class
founded a school of which she has been
the head for fomteen jeais. This fachool
has sent out sixty giaduates, many of
whom have also giaduated at Tuske
gee and nie now successful ttadesmen,
business men, funnels and teachers.
One who giaduated In 1892 founded a
school in Wilcox, county, Ala., on a
plantation wheie lie was bom, which
now has an attendance each eal of
.100 students, with u pioperty of over
$30,000. Last j ear twenty-five teaeh
eis and supeiintendents weie employed
in this school. They curled on, by stu
dent labor, u laim, a sawmill, bilck
yaid, wheelw light, blacksmith shop,
pi luting office, e.iipenter and paint
shop, lnundiy cooking ehool and, sew
ing looms. Neaily all the'-e teaeheis
weie Tuskegee giaduntes. This school
has sent out seventeen giaduates, and
eveiy one of them Is honoiably employ
ed In developing the best inteiest of
Wilcox county. The number of these
schools with Tuskegee giaduates at the
head of them Is now seventeen; thir
teen of these weie founded by them.
They aie in eight dlfteient states, eight
In Alabama, one in Flat Ida, two in
Geoigla, one in South Caiollna, two in
Loulsann, one in Vliglnia, one in Tenn
essee and one In Kansas. Vaiious giad
uates have theii eje 011 other states and
it will not be long befoie theie will not
be a single southern state that has not
a ical Tuskegee school.
At Tuskegee the past year the enioll
ment amounted to 1.190 lu the noimal
dopaitment, 9.10 voting men, 400 joung
women, lepiesentlng thirty diffeient
states and tenltoiles and five foieign
countries. 13esldes these the klnder
gailen and ti .lining school em oiled 2.12,
the Tuskegee town night school, 121,
making 11 total eniollment, for the jear
of 1,743. The social settlement school,
on the Thompson plantation, supet vised
by Mis. Washington and taught by a
Tuskegee giadunte, would btlng the
number up to 1800. It has lequlred 123
olllceis und teaeheis to cany on this
w 01 k.
The chlldien In the ttalnlng school
have been taught tuipentiy, cook
ing, sewing and gaidenlng. Many of
the students In the night school
ate mauled people, often the hus
band and wife lomlng to school to
gether; otheis aie young men and wo
men of the town, who aie unable to go
to school dining the day. They have
been taught hilckluying, carpentry,
sewing, cooking and housekeeping,
Some who aie employed as seivants
and unable to tome at night form nn
afternoon class and teceive Instiuctlon
at such houis as their sei vices aie not
needed. All of this town woik und the
social settlement work is leully the out
come of Mis, Washington's effoits be
gun on a small scale some yeais ago,
for the women und elils who weie ac
customed to lounge about the stieets of
Tuskegee, on Satin days. "The changes
In the city of Tuskegee aie simply ie
nuukable," the Adveitlser says. "The
number of new and conifoi table homes
built by the coloied people In the vlcln
it of Tuskegee and in the city Itself is
eiy huge,"
A few items taken fiom tho Adver
tisers article will give some Idea of the
magnitude of the woik done by the
students dm lug the past ear, They
made 2,128,223 bilcks, Of these they
have laid 1,843,506, The school sold 2S4,
0")7 to outBlde parties, They cultivated
about fc00 acies of land. They sawed
fiom the logh 200,000 feet of lunibci, a
luige pait of which has been worked
up into furultiue, wagons, buggies,
wheelbarrows und house tilmmlngg of
vaiious kinds They cut 250,000 luths
and dtessed 360,900 feet of jlumber. The
printing otllce did oyer $8,000 woith of
wotk duilng the ye;ir, and made a pro
fit to the school of nearly $700 oyer all
expenses. Tho bilckldycra and plaster
eis have done a business coveting $.'.',-
000 for labor nnd materials, The brick
making for the school and surrounding
country now requites the constant oper
ation nf two laige machines, capable of
over 20,000 bricks each per day, and one
yurd, operated by hand. This Is In
matked rontiant With the heiolc strug
gles In the brick yard of twenty .veins
ago, ns related In Mr. Washington's
book, "Up from Slavery." The value of
the buildings aided by student labor
this year Is $39,318.16 The shoeshop
made 359 pairs of new shoes nnd re
paired 1,197 pulis. The electrical divi
sion has Installed 1,187 lights. The har
ness shop did $1,359 worth of work. The
machine shop und foundry have done
a vast anion nt of work this year In con
nection with the new heating plant and
water works, and the keeping In repair
six steam eng'lnes located on the
grounds besides the repair work of a
large area of countiy, there being no
other machine shop or foundry nearer
thun thirty miles. Over seventy stu
dents have done woik In this line. The
work done has run from $700 to $i,100
per month. The blacksmith shop has
done about $2,500 worth of work. A
gieat deal of labor has gone tp the
farm and miscellaneous work of the
school. Tho students have paid In la
bor tovvatd their expenses $78,331.67; in
cash $15,817.79.
The class that giuduated icccntly
numbei s thirty-five twenty-two boys
and thirteen git Is. They leprosent 11
states Alabama, 13; California, 1; Flor
ida, 2; Georgia, 4; Mississippi, 3; Miss
ouri, 1; Tennessee, 1; Texas, 3; Ken
tucky, 3; West Vliglnia, 1; Massachu
setts, 1. Six aie from Tuskegee. All
have had thorough dilll In some useful
Industiy. Five aie graduates in agil-
cultute, one In tlnsmlthlng, one in har
nessmaklng and canlage trimming,
three in dressmaking, one lu tailoring,
one In dentistry, six in laundering and
cooking, one In cooking, one in launder
ing, two In nurse training, one in saw
milling, one In blacksmlthing, one from
the machine shop, one In printing.
Otheis have lecelved instruction in
vaiious tiades and will return next
setw as post giaduates and finish them,
All will find immediate employment with
an employing capacity far beyond what
they possessed when they came to the
school. The girls of the class have hud
laige piactlcal training in housekeep
ing this year. They have lived, four at
a time, in a small building called a
"practice home," wheie they have kept
house in eveiy detail, doing their own
washing, scrubbing, cooking and having
the entire care of the house. Each of
the four girls selves a week at a time
at each kind of woik. The entlie ex
pense through the jear for bo.itd, fuel
apd lights has been 70 cents each per
week.
A committee of the I-ondon school
board has been studying the school's
methods with a view to their introduc
tion in the Biitish colonies.
And the man whose woik all this
very Impeifectly descilbes Is held by
many not to be a fit companion at
table of the president of the United
States. What a stiange Idea of values!
The Demociatlc editors aie tiylng
haul to extiact comfort liom the fact
that Monday's election in Oregon le
sulted in the choice of a Demociatlc
govemoi. They find It convenient to
f 01 get that both the Republican candi
dates for congiess, who ran flatly on
the platfoini that the Philippines should
be letnined Indefinitely as Ameiican
teiritory, weie le-elected by majoiities
In excess of those east in 1900, piesl
dentlal eai. The defeat of the Repub
lican candidate for governor had no na
tional significance. It was the lesult
of a factional quairel for contiol of
the state p.nty machine. The vote on
congiessmen, however, dliectly and
cleaily legisteied the opinion of the
people concerning the national admin
istration and its policy in the Philip
pines. If our Democratic friends can
derive comfoit fiom It and encouiage
ment foi continued lesistance to mani
fest destiny they aie cordially welcome.
The piesident of the United States
is a man of immense power when he
sees fit to cNerclse It, but we do not
believe that even he has power enough
to avett a decisive settlement of the
issues now vexing the anthiaclte ln
dustiv and the people dependent upon
It. Furtheimote, he has troubles of his
own.
It Is pleasing to note that General
Kitchener's wad of pilze money will
be of sufficient dimensions to enable
him to keep his titles and decoiatlons
well burnished.
The hero of the Tiansvaal Is also to
be longiatul.ited upon the fuct that the
difficulty In finding words to lhyme
with Kitchener will no doubt testialn
the poets.
Little encouragement h'as been offeied
thus far for the political piophets who
ure engaged lu di awing Hon, David
Hill's piesldentlnl hoioscope,
The decimation of pilnclples by the
Hoosier Democ-iacy-at Indianapolis the
other day was, as expected, lemlnls
centlnlly fault-finding.
The lack of Intelligence leads to the
suspicion that some one must have kid
napped Kllen Stone's pi ess buieau.
King Hdward would be able to sleep
peacefully these nights If It weie not
for Uouike Cockian.
Suppose the mines should Hood,
Whose loss In the long inn would be
the keenest?
The signs aie multiplying that John
Hlklu has next week's nomination riv
eted. IF NOT, WHY NOTP
ndlturiif The Tiibune.
Sir; Tho tallowing statement appears
In the Times; "Several of them (coal and
lion policemen) weie bouidlng at one of
the hotels, but when It was discovered
who they weie, they weie (old to seek

ONE MINER'S VIEWS.
IMItor of The Tiibune
HI)! 1 have woiked in the nutlttiirUe
coal mines for twenty years. I.IUo tho
lest or my fellow minors I nm nt inesoiit
"out on stilke." I am not weak-kneed,
but nt the same time, all things constil
cied, I do not really know what I am out
on strike for. I nm a miner puro ana
simple and the eight-hour demand, even
If granted bv the companies will not bet
ter my condition In any paillculur. This
being so, the only question at Issue In
the question of the weight of the eoal
mined by the mtnci. I work for one of
tho Inigcr companies and cannot In an
honest, truthful mnnner say thnt I have
ever been cheated In the weighing of my
cam,
Ginnlcd that the demands mndo on tho
companies, are Just, why Is ll that miners
In the soft coal fields nro not only woik
lng when tho very existence of tho or
ganization of which they nie mcmbein
Is threatened, but aro allowed to ship
their pioductlon or a putt of It Into the
very center of the anthiaclte mmkots
thereby stiengthcnlng the hands of the
anthiaclte coal companies? Tho engi
neers, fltemcn Hnd pumprunncis nie the
ones who will be benefited by tho eight
hour movement, yet, in tho largo com
pany mines many of them refuse to Join
in the strike movement.
The foreign element tire lcav lug for
tholi homes across tho sea, where they
can live cheap and enjoy themselves,
while men who have large families nnd
little homes and an ambition to edu
cate their young aro forced to remain at
home and do tho fighting. Not only this,
hut when this same foreign element ro
turn they bring with them an airay of
other emigiants who create a surplus of
labor and make it a haidshlp for men
who have a love of country Inborn In
their hearts. The foreign element caie
little for this country or its institutions.
Thoy live cheap and horde their surplus.
Nofso with men of my class who aie Im
bued with an honest ambition to edu
cate our oung, own our homes and live
n a decent American fashion,
A strike under any clicumstanccs is a
great hardship. It plunges us in debt,
It endangers the homes of many who
are trying to acquit e them in an honest
way by paying for them monthly, but
ha 1 dor than all else, Is the mothers good
bye to her son. mayhap twenty or twenty-one
years old, who Is forced out In the
world through circumstances over which
he has no control. It, means In many In
stances the bieaking up. In a great meas
ure, of happy homes, sho may seo her
boy again, or moie than likely they may
meet on the other shoie.
Experience Is the gieutest teachet. It
nmv be that In time we may gather wis
dom and consider mattcis of tha impoi -tance
of this sttlke in a serious, thought
ful way nnd not be led with a rush into
anv thing thnt is not well consldoied.
