President Roosevelt hag no patent curc-nll for trusts; but he says ho "vrtll do as much In correction of their evils as conditions will permit, and the people have full confidence In his good faith. m Concerning Peace Makers. BISHOP POTTER and other i ell-meaning promoters of peace and Rood will, whose prominence and high per sonal character cause their words to be widely quoted, must by this time ap preciate the Importance of not Inspiring unfounded hopes of an umlcnble settle ment of the 15 weeks old mine Btrlke. Casual expiesslons by them Indicating o. theoretical hope of arbitration but based upon no practical signs In that direction have twice or thrice raised high the expectations of the thousands of men and women In this region who long for the restoration of normal con ditions of Industry, and the subsequent flushing of these hopes has not tended to Inspire confidence or further good will. Everybody would rejoice to sec amity and Industry restored In the coal fields nnd great praise would go to those instrumental in effecting an early peace; but It should at las,t be evident to men of Intelligence living at a dis tance, as it Is to nearly all discerning persons living within the theater of conflict, that the test of strength be tween the operators and the union, once before begun nnd then deferred, Is now on in grim earnest and to a decision, President Mitchell recognizes this and has no part In circulating fictitious peace rumors. He correctly describes it as a flgbt to the finish, and In so doing is in complete concord with the presidents of the big coal-carrying rail roads. In such an emergency It behooves peace makers to be , doubly discreet lest, with the best of intentions, they do more harm than good. Major Davis, a wealthy Inhabitant of Syracuse, has renounced his American citizenship and applied for British nat uralization because "there Is a larger measure of Individual freedom In Eng land than In America." From the way some Americans act, you wouldn't think BO. Worth Repeating. (The President at Hartford.) IT IS RARE, indeed, that a great work can bo done save at the cost not only of labor and toll, but of much puzzling worry dur ing the time of the performance. Nor mally the nation that achieves great ness, like the individual who achieves greatness, can do so only at the cost of anxiety and bewilderment nnd heart wearing effort. Timid people, people scant of faith nnd hope, and good peo ple who are not accustomed to the roughness of the life of effort nie nl ' most sure to be disheartened and dis mayed by the work and the worry, nnd overmuch cast down by the shortcom ings, actual or seeming, which In real life always accompany the first stages, even of what eventually turn out to be the most brilliant victories. All this Is true of what has happened during tyie last four years In the Phil ippine Islands. The Spanish war itself was an, easy task; but It left us certain other tasks which were much more dlfllCilU.. One of tlieso tasks was that of dealing with the Philippines. The easya thing to do tho thing which ap pealed not only to lazy and selfish men hut to very ninny good men whose thoughts did not drive down to the root of things was to leave the Islands. Hud j,ve done this a period of wild chaos would have supervened, and then some stronger Power would have stepped In nnd seized tho Islands and have tuken up the task which we In such a case wouljl, have flinched from performing. A less, easy, but Infinitely more nb Biird,course would have been to leave the iDhuuis ourselves and at the same tlme.Vssert that we would not permit any one else to Interfere with them. This particular course would have eoni blnedull tho possible disadvantages of every, other course which was advo cated, It. would have placed us In a humiliating position, because when the actual test came It would huvo been quite out of the question for us after gome striking deed of savagery had occurred In the Islands to stand by nnd prevent tho re-entry of civilization Into thein; while the mere fact of our having threatened thus to guarantee the local tyrants and wrongdoers against outsldo Interference by our selves or others would have put a tVr ta&AStl'J itiiMM .,trtt j. premium upon every species of tyranny nnd nnnrchy within the Islnnds. Finally, there was tho course which we adopted not nn easy course, nnd one fraught with danger and dllTlcutty, as Is generally tho case In this world when Rome great fent Is to bo accom plished as nn Incident to work out our national destiny. Wo made up our minds to stny In the Islnnds', to put down violence, to rstabllsh peace and order, and then to Introduce a Just and wise civil rule, nccompanled by ft measure of self-government which should Incrense as rapidly as the 1st ntulers showed themselves fit for It. Well, It was certainly n formidable task; hut think of tho marvelllously successful way In which It has been accomplished. The success of the effort has been wonderful. Necr has this country hnd a more upright or nn abler body of public representatives than Governor Tnft, Vice (lovernor Wright and their nssoclntcH and subordinates In tho Philippine Islands. It Is very dlfflcult a matter practically to apply tho prin ciples of nn orderly free government to nn Oriental people struggling upward out of barbarism and subjection. It Is a task requiring infinite firmness, pa tience, tact, broad-mindedness. All those qualities nnd the countless others necessary have been found In tho civil and military officials who have been sent over to administer the Islands. It was, of course, Inevitable that their should ho occasional failures; but It is astonishing how few these have been. Each Inhlbltant of the Philippines Is now guaranteed his civil and religious rights, his right to life, personal liberty and tho pursuit of happiness, subject only to not Infringing the rights of others. It la worth noting that al ready the Philippine people have re ceived a greater share of self-government, that they have more to say as to how they shall be governed, than Is the case with any people In the Orient which Is under European rule. Nor is this all; congress has, with far-seeing wisdom, heartily supported all that has been done by the execu tive. Wise laws for tho government of tho Philippine Islands have been placed upon the statute books, and under these laws provision is made for the intro duction Into the Philippines of repre sentative government, with only the do lay absolutely necessary to allow for the establishment of definite peace, for the taking of a census and the settling down of the country. In short, we are governing tho Filipinos primarily In their interest and for their very great benefit, and we have acted in practi cal fashion not trying to lay down rules as to what should be done in the remote and uncertain future, but turn ing our attention to the instant need of things and meeting that need In the fullest and amplest way. m A statistical compilation estimates the strike loss to date at $87,000,000 but this is meaningless to most persons. The only sure thing about It Is that it has been a losing investment for all con cerned. Our Naval flanoeuvers. THE PRACTICAL value of the naval manoeuvres of the Blue and White squadrons In the mimic warfare off the coast of Massachusetts is not readily apprehended by the public. This Is not a game of maritime checkers, in which the component parts of one lleet are trying to bluff each other. It will not detract from Commander Plllsbury's naval ability if he falls, within the specified time, to make a successful descent on some point between Port land and Cape Cod. Nor would it de tract from the prescience of Admiral Hlgglnson's strategical disposition of his ships if the defensive blockade is broken. This Is tho most exciting and popular part of tho "war," but It is the least Important. The aim of the navy department was to inaugurate on our own coasts the annual naval manoeuvres which Great Britain, France, Germany, Russia and Italy have more or less permanently estab lished around their shores for years. In actual warfare, probably not one combination of the ships in a hundred thnt actually tnkes place in these sup positious attacks and preparations for defense would actually occur. Some naval experts go so far as to say that naval manoeuvres are a waste of time, energy, money and powder. Others contend that while they are not exactly valuable as a scientific anticipation of what may actually take place when a nation Is at war, they are nevertheless the best conceivable training for such a purpose; that they educate the intel ligence of ofileers nnd crews and bring out defects of construction and engi neering In the ships themselves. There Is, In short, much to be said on both sides. The evolution of our national politics may or may not, In the course of time, lead us to war. It would be the height of political delirium for tho people of any nation to rest upon Its unaggres sive and peaceful disposition to secure Immunity from war. Political philoso phers tell us that It would be sheer madness for any country to try to Ir -vado tho "United States. It probably would In the. end. But success hi war depends upon Immediate results. For tune befriends tho man or the nation mostly, who leaves nothing to chance. A wise policy does not consist In rely ing upon assumptions, but In regulat ing and bulanclng contingent possi bilities. In this tespect the mnnoeuvers are very valuable indeed. The peoplo of tho country can now see that our fleet Is miserably inadequate to guard our enormous littoral on the Atlantic, much less on the Pacific and Gulf coasts. For their numbers, efficiency and mor ale our ships and men cannot be ex celled. But wo are outnumbered by the fleets of every possible serious enemy. The naval armaments of Europe and Japan are growing up.ice. We are building ships, too, but at such a slow rate that whon the Isthmian canal Is built either that Inter-oceanlo high wuy or our sea coasts will bo at the mercy of our enemies, We are as sured that our harbors are so admir ably protected by batteries and forti fications and submarine mines that no Invading ships of war dare uct against such potential Impregnableness. This -ttt jut, jt. .t.snltto. '&.. & a .. assurance Is worse than nonsense; It fs folly. Such defences are not second rate security. Neither mines nor sea const artillery nre transferable to the point of attnek. What! did It serve the Spaniards that the open hurbor.t of Cuba, Porto Rico nnd tho Philippines were paved with torpedoes? If the mniioeiivcrs shall draw tho at tention of congress nnd the peoplo to tho necessity of strengthening our lleet to the measure of Its responsible Ites, their value will be abundantly established, A Thirteenth regiment sharpshooter on Saturday fired at a clothes pole In his buck yard and shot a neighbor next door. It should be added that he was n, member of the Thirteenth New York regiment. Tho Shah of Persia demonstrates by a fifteen thousand dollnr lunch that tho American mngnntes are not the only ones possessing the wherewith to "blow themselves" In London. The theatrical bill boards' pictorial proclamation of another Thespian sea son again reminds us that summer, as suming wo have had one, Is on tho wane. Bryan and the Rev. Mr. Jones have both tuken to prophesying more or less In the same line both calamitous In their unfulfilled prophecies. Hon. David Hill showed a disposition to steal Mr. Bryan's thunder In his ad dress to the farmers at Oak Orchard. OMIine Stadias of flaman Nature Thought It American Humor. Dr. Newell Dwlght lllllls, pastor of Plymouth chinch, Brooklyn, relates an cxpcrlcnco that shows what strango freaks of chance sometimes huppen. Dr. mills, together with a number of other Amcilcan preachers and many protes sors, was attending nn educational con ference In Edlnliugh, Scotland. Thero were visitors from all over tho world. At a banquet given by tho Scotchmen to their guests Dr. HIUIs found hlniholf seated next a heavy-browed professor of metaphysics of one of the Scotch uni versities. Finding that his neighbor was from New York, the professor began to ask question's. "I know Amcilca Is quite n largo coun try," he icmarked, "and I know Chi cago Is a long distance from your home, but 1 have had some cortespondenco with Professor R., of that city, and thought you may have chanced to know him. Did you over meet him?" "I know him very well," replied tho Brooklyn preacher. "There ho sits at tho next table, the third man from tho end of tho other side." "Well, well! How tcmarkablo!" ex claimed the 'Scotchman, with a rnther in credulous glnnco at his companion. "I huvo also had some correspondence with Professor C, of a university In Michigan," continued the metaphysician. "I guess you know nothing of him." On tho contrary, I know him quite well. Theio ho Is over near tho corner of tho room, tho man with whiskers and gold spectacles." This was too much of a coincidence for the Scotchman's credulity. Ho was plainly suspicious nnd Inclined to bo net tled. "I suppose," said ho rather stiffly, "that this Is Ameilcan humor, and you are making gnme of me?" "Not at all," Paid Dr. HIUIs; "I am giving you only fads." "Very remaikable! very remarkable!" exclaimed tho professor. "Well, sir, I have had relations with ono other Ameri can, I presume you know him also?" Thero was a note of sarcasm in the query. "Who was ho?" "Ho wns a minister somewhere near New York, a certain Dr. lllllls." "Yes," Mild tho other, tapping himself on tho breast. "I am Dr. lllllls." With a snort of Indignation tho Scotch man pushed back his chair nnd (led tho room. Ameilcan humor had been carried too far. New York Tribune. Played His Client Poise. "I shall have to muko a lawjer out of that boy of mine. I don't see any other way out of it," declared tho well known attorney with a laugh. "lie came Into my offlco tho other day on his way homo fiom school nnd laid a nickel down on tho desk before mo. " 'What is this for, son?' I asked. "'Retainer,' ho answered sobetly. " 'Very well," said I, cutcilng Into the joke. "What have I been letalned upon?' "My boy dug down Into his pocket und produced a note from his teacher nnd placed It boforo mo without comment. Jt wns to the effect that he had been 'cut ting up' nnd ndvlsed a whipping. " 'Now, what would you advise? asked he In a buslncss-llko voice after I had read the noto and saw tho tiap that young inscul led mo Into. " 'I think that our first move should bo to apply for a chango of venue,' said I. i -very well,' ho answered. "You'ro handling tho case.' "Then we will tuin tho noto over to your mother,' said I . "I saw tho young Imp's faeo fnll at this, but ho braced up and said; " 'Seo heie, pop, you'ie bound to see mo through on this, 'cause you'vo accepted my lotulner, you know!" " 'I'll arguo your enso befoio tho court,' I answered, 'but you'll hnvo to accept tho decision. I would not duie to attempt to lulluenco tho court.' "Well, I pleaded tho boy's case, pinmpt ly had It tin own out of court, and tho boy got what ho tlebcrved, a good whip ping. "It wns tho first time I ever played fulso to a client." Detroit Fieo Press, IT WAS NO HAMPTON. It had tnken consldernblo persuasion to Induce tho old ludy to tako a seat in an automobile, hut finally she had consent ed to do so becatiso alio was anxious to reach tho bedside of her sick grandchild In a village some twenty mllos nwny, tho last tialn for which had loft some ten minutes boforo sho arrived at tho station, When tho owner of tho big automobile, who wns tout lug through Long Island, had overheard tho old lady's regrets at being loft ho hud Insisted on her ac companying him, as ho was to puss thiough tho particular ono of tho half a dozen or more Long island villages named Hampton whero tho sick giandchlld lived. Everything wont lovely until tho almost flying vehlclo In attempting to pass a wagon loaded with hay which occupied tho entile center of tho load went unex pectedly into tho ditch and rather vio lently deposited Its occupants In iln ad Joining field. u Rccoveiliig from tho shock, though somewhat confused fiom tho rather un usual method of alighting from a vehicle, Jlio old lady asked of the chagrined chauffeur: "Is this a Hampton?" "No ma'am," ho managed to gasp, "this Is an acldent." "Oh, deiirl" said tho ex-occupant of tho vehicle, "then I hadn't oughtor have got out heie, hud l?'1 But such naivety was too much for tho owner of tho damaged vehicle, and he satd tho only thing for one In his po sition to say nothing.
