The announcement that the Immense :orn crop will make cheaper beef will no doubt set the magnates to figuring as to the best manner In which corn can bo cornered. No Prospect of Arbitration. MUCH has been printed In a speculative way as to the possibilities that excited public opinion, fearing the 111 effects of a winter coal famine, would bring Irresistible pressure to bear upon the financial mngnatcs back of the presidents of the coal carrying railroads to induce the latter to effect without delay some form of compro mise with the miners now on strike; but It Is clear from the authoritative news from New York that the oper ators are a unit In maintaining their original position. The wide currency given In this con nection to the views of Abram S. Hewitt, a man of life-long identification with the Industry and philanthropy of our country, Is doubtless in part re sponsible for a stiffening of the line of resistance among the financial inter ests. But it was obvious In any event that pressure of public opinion purely from the selfish standpoint of a need of coal could not long bold out when directed against only one party In con flict. The unassailable portion of Mr. Hew itt's statement is where be asserts the Bupreme necessity of establishing and maintaining the right to work without Interference. A public opinion willing to let that right fall into decay under pressure from any quarter would bo a symptom of American degeneracy. It Is the claim of the operators that men on strike would return to work in ample numbers to put Into general motion the silent mines and breakers If they were permitted unrestricted freedom of choice. Naturally from the opposing side comes sweeping denial. No til bunnl of arbitration could resolve this controversy. It can only be determined by time. m Though the gold yield Is visibly shrinking, It Is probable that the Klon dike will continue to be a bonanza for the steamship companies for several years yet. Boycotting; Teachera. (From the WHltcs-Barro Record.) THE MOST outrageous case of boycotting that has nome to light since the present strike of the anthracite mine work ers was Inaugurated Is that reported from Mahanoy township, Schuylkill county, where the school board on Monday discharged all female teachers whose brothers or fathers have con tinued to work In any capacity what ever at the mines. Among those dis missed Is the sister of Joseph Beddall, the man who was clubbed to death during the riot at Shenandoah on July 80. After having discharged six teach ers for the reason stated, the board adopted a resolution declaring that In filling the vacancies thus created ap plications from persons In any way re lated to non-union workmen would not be considered. We are very much mistaken In the character of the judges of Schuylkill county If they fall to take a hand In halting such an outrageous system of persecution us that above referred to. From the proceedings of the Muhanoy school.. btiaYd 'It does not nppeur that there wcro any charges of Incom petency or Improper conduct alleged agultist'tho six teachers. To nil np pear&hco the sola cause for Inconti nently dismissing tliein from, the ser vice pf the bchoot district was the alle gation that relatives or members of thelrffamllles hud continued to work 8lncetho strike was ordered, It wus not pven alleged thnt the offending relatives of the teachers were members of the United Mine Workers organiza tion, ror that they had taken the places of striking mine workeis. Sui3i Injustice ns this Is happily rnro even jjrj the mining regions, where so frequrjitiy intense passion and uiiieu ssonlnfe prejudice completely blinds cer tain Classes of people to every sense of generosity and fairness. Think of It; schoolteachers dismissed because some, one Mr whose acts they were lit no wise irresponsible hail offended the nilnerti who uro on strike! It would be djfllcuU, Indeed, to conceive of a more monstrous act of Jnjustlco or unfair ness, f The members of the Mahunoy township school bourd should be yomptly called to account, cither though the courts or by appeal to the Department of Public Instruction at Harrlsburtr. The nubile schools of Pennsylvania nro In large measure under stato super vision, nnd Inasmuch ns they arc large ly supported by appropriations of money out of the stale treasury, It fol lows that the state authorities cannot permit the public scho'ola to be prosti tuted as those of Malmnoy township have .been, to serve the purposes of hate uiul prejudice. A Very excellent opportunity Is presented to the super intendent of public Instruction atllar rlflbure to perform an unpleasant but very necessary duty, When the nrmy ami navy have stl llpil the matter of supromncy by inlmlc war operations, they should got down to business nnd practically decide the question In it ball gume. Marriage nnd Crime. I N ADDITION to all the fun and home comforts thnt bachelors nrc missing, there Is authority for saying that they run a greater risk than married men of be coming criminals, In other words, they take grave chances In both this world and the world to come. Our authority Is Dr. Charles R. Henderson, professor of sociology ut the University of Chicago. He says that a very large percentage of criminals are unmarried and ho further asserts that celibacy is a cause of crime. The fol lowing figures from Chicago's police court records are cited in proof of the first of these assertions: Total arrests. Mariled. Single. mot w,w 21,507 47,an 1!H)0 70, I3S :!.'i,C.'0 3I.S1S 1S9U 71,310 21,717 49.C03 1S9S 77,4lt 23,1145 51.70G 1S07 8.1.G50 2I.W8 M.072 ISM 0U.SI7 2H,45I "O.SKI 1S93 SIJ.KII 23,017 KI.SI7 1S9I SS,2J'J 2.'.,207 63,110 18.11 R9,S:U 24.4S7 CT.,340 lSOl 70,5,'rf) 13.7S3 50,707 Going bade in periods of live years: 1890 02,230 1S.09S 41,132 ISSTi 40.99S 10.r.."i 30,803 18S0 2S.IM) SX0 20,150 Figured In another way: Male Female Mnr- Sin- Mar- Sln ried. glo lied. etc. 1901, first C months.. 7.970 1S.212, 1.5B 4,(22 1901. 2nd 0 months. ..9.002 20,534 2.100 4.717 1D02, first 0 months... 8,097 1S.157 1,018 3,310 "Two Interpretations of these figures are possible," Professor Henderson said the other day to a Record-Herald re porter. "There Is no doubt that the lack of a feeling of responsibility, which lack the unmarried man has, produces crime. But what causes celibacy? All explanations of these questions of society must be complicated if they are to be true, because the conditions are so complicated. But considering the question fundamentally, It seems that the same things produce celibacy as produce crime. And yet with the pres ent knowledge It is impossible for any one to tell in general just how far celi bacy enters into the calculations on crime, how far ns a result of other things and how far as a direct con tributing cause. "Crime is an antl-soclal act. It is aggressive, the act of the males, not the females who are passive. This ag gressiveness begins with the boy in a marked degree when about 10. When he gets into trouble It Is not because he has more surplus energy, but be cause he Is Inferior. Criminals are de ficient. Men of that class are not likely to marry. Sexual selection comes In. The female won't have anything to do with a man who can't control his energy, who is vicious or licentious." It may be conceded that this explan ation Is not wholly convincing. Possibly to explain thoroughly all that Is In the professor's thought upon this subject would exceed the limits of general journalism. But the fact cannot be disputed that the happily married man has little incentive to commit crime and very large incentive to behave himself and work for the welfare and happiness of home and family. The man lib to marry who has not done so through personal neglect of good oppor tunities should take to heart the fore going figures. The announcement that the British government has left 3000 citizens, in Venezuela to the tender merlces of the warring elements of the country does not bear the stamp of veracity. Of all nations upon earth England as a rule has been the last to abandon her sub jects In foreign lands. Qermans for Protection. w HILE tho would-be tariff smashers are endeavor ing to renew their efforts to benefit foreign trade at the expense of the commercial and in dustrial Interests of the United States, says the Albany Journal, European countries nro seeking ways and means to protect their markets from foreign invasion. In the city of Dusseldorf, In Germany, an Industrial exposition Is be ing held just now, nnd tho Interests rep resented there have united In Issuing an nppeal to tho German people to stand by homo Industries. They have formed an association whfjgo energies will ba exerted for the purpose of discouraging Importation of goods made In other countries and seeking outlets for the surplus product of the German manu facturing plants. It Is stated In tho document which tho nssoclutlon bus Issued that "tho Ger man manufacturer, tho German mer chant, the German olllclals, private per sons and working people, as nlso tho German government, tho military und civic authorities shall be called upon to advocate and support the purchase of German goods ns far as possible. Their attention Is to bo -called to tho fact that homo production suffers severely from tho Importation of foreign goods and machinery, Wo now Import annually to tho value of many millions of marks from the United States of America type writers, cash registers, bicycles, sewing machines, shoes, India rubber shoes, pianos, preserved meats, nieat extracts, etc. It Is self-evident that tho single Individual cannot successfully counteract this, but If wo Germans unitedly endeavor to give tho prefer ence to German products, then millions of money will be retained ut home for the benefit of German manufacture and their working people." After further describing tho needs of the German industrial and commercial situation, and outlining the methods to bo udopted for Its Improvement, the as- soclntlon says nl the conclusion of its appeal! "In plain business language We mean to keep our money- at home nnd try to bring In all Iho foreign money wo possibly can. It Is only when these cardinal points are completely obtained that wo can speak of a lasting German prosperity." The condition which the German busi ness Interests will endeavor to produce In Germany has become n gratifying reality In the United States under the operation of the Republican protcctlvo system. We are keeping our money at home nnd adding to the national wealth considerable foreign money each year. Not only patriotism, but also the most ordinary regard for American Interests, commands thnt the system which has made this condition possible shall be left untouched. Upon his tour In the eastern states, President Roosevelt seems to enure the gnritilous "antics" to obey the railroad crossing Injunction: "Stop; look and listen." General Mites wisely announces In effect thuf he will In future fight shy of the enterprising scribes "with learn ing enough to misquote." When It comes to the sacking of a captured town, there Bccms to be little difference between the government and Insurgent troops of Venezuela. LITERABY NOTES. Alnsleo's magazine, beginning with tho October Issue, Is to bo doubled In size, Hold for 13 cents nnd converted Into a competitor of the Smart Sot. A description of Teaching by Corre spondence," contributed to tho September World's Work by Itnsscll Doubleday, Is in effect a study of tho International Cor respondence Schools and therefore of lo cal Interest. Ralph Connor's now Glengarry stories two delightful sketches of boy life In a Held which ho has already made fa mous form ono of tho most attractive features of tho September number of Leslie's Monthly. "Tho World Today," the rcchristoned Current Encyclopedia, now alining to oc cupy a field similar to that of the World's Woik and the Review of Reviews, is evi dently prospering. The September Issue equals In Interest, variety and scholaishlp any yet published. In tho September Issue, John Gilmer Sliced describes tho methods and pur poses of the much mooted beef trust, In an article entitled, "The Beef Trust and tho Public." Ho gives a. very thorough meaning of the reasons for tho trust and Its relations to tho general public. Lovers of the works of Robert Louis Stevenson will read with Interest nn ar ticle In Harper's Magazine for September, entitled "In Stevenson's Country," by Willlnm Sharp. Mr. Sharp was a devoted friend of Stevenson's, nnd bo'wrltes with Informing sympathy of tho places the novelist loved and made immortal in bis books. "A Fiicnd of Cam's," by Loulso Bctts Edwards, tho novelette with which the September Smart Sot opens, is a charac ter study at once distinctive and strong.' The analysis Is subtle In Its revealment of a woman's nnture. Another story of especial worth but In lighter vein Is "The Shining Gloss," by Gcrtrudo Lynch, In which the psychology of beauty's attitude toward itself Is most cunningly nnd clear ly portrayed. Among the sclentlllc men who wont to tho West Indies on tho DKIo relief oxpo dltloan, for tho purpose of studying the phenomena of tho eruptions of May 7-R. were Professor Robert T. I111I, geologist United States geological survey, and Is rael C. Itusell. professor of geology in the unlver:,lty of Michigan. Tho results of tho Investigations of these two gen tlemen nro to bo published In the Sep tember Century. Waller A. Wyckoff, the author of "The Workers," bcfflns a now series In the Soptember Scilhner's pealing with the conditions which surround the wage earner In England. He studied the question at 111 at baud last summer, and his conclusions will surpilso many stu dents of social questions. The picture that ho diaws of tho laboring man In Loudon Is much brighter than tho Amer ican Idea of him. A. Rndclyffo Dugtnore, tho nrllst sportsman and photographer of out-door life. Is at present in tho Maine woods. On his return ho will contribute n series of elaborately illustrated articles on camping, fishing and hunting to Country Life in Ameilca, for which ningnzlno he Is now engaged to work exclusively. Ills entire collection of marvellous photo graphs of bit lis, wild flowers and native nnlmnls, including s-omo three thousand negatives, has iccently been purchased by Double J jy, Pago & Co. William Allen Whito has cot into tho gnmo again, and takes tho lending place in tho September McCluro's with an ar ticle on "Cuban Reciprocity, a Moral Is sue," In which he speaks his mind about beet roots and Insurgents nnd the admin istration policy which, Incldentnlly, hap pens to bo Mr. Whlto'.s policy, too. Short ly nfter ho and Mr. Thomas Tlatt had had their says about each other last win tor, Mr. Whlto's health gavo way; and this is I1I1 first mngazlno urtlclo for six months. To Judge by the stylo of It, how ever, Mr. White's ronvalcsceneo Is now complete. It has tho fnmlllar vim and dnsh, which glvo promise that from henceforth there will be something do lug pretty regularly In tho lino which tho Empoilii editor has mndo his own. 4 .assssMassgissMataaMssPTawasi'uii Mniuaai iihwhh "!"'',J .v!rj,Tt-HW! . : ', i: s aasssssssssssssMflasBsm-vSfc'f ttJMfoB ;&&- AmmimMuMl assssssssssssssssBasssssflssssVfi5aMk',ifef1-1-- sssssssT7)iSSSsBtsssMBllisCaCrvr.?JlffiSSiW!.tV mBBnHrMmMpmm& BBBBBHBBBBBBBliBBBBBBBBBBBBlBBBCB9fwllSni9sfBW'!M GSU$&S'dHBllnHBBlXSB4c4BflSavla(jKtlt LsssssssssWssPiHB MsaSBsMHHbRlst lif l"lWECI9lHBHBaBBBBBBBBBBBBBaBBBBBl lmmVi tsar ww2M'lUtmml0Mr(nmrM'' mA'iSasfllnfisssMTissssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssl ItsssssssssssWsMlllBBBsSSnSS "1(JHflBBHH KEYSTONE ACADEMY,?
