"IIE REST argument yet of
feied for Republican support
of the entire Republican tic
ket in this state and county
this fall Is the fact that the Demo
cratic papers and spell-binders are en
couraging the Democratic! voters with
the hope that if they can elect some
of their candidates this year it will
help fiem to make larger gains next
time.
The Scranton Times uses this incen
tive in discussing the county commis
sioners' ofllcn. It points out that Re
publican .control of this office has been
a powerful factor in building up Re
publican victory in Lackawanna coun
ty, and It has. That, however, is a
good reason why Republicans should
desire Republican control of the oirice
to continue. There Is evidently noth
ing in the argument of the Times that
the books should be opened. If the
books were not as they should be the
present Democratic county commission
er, Mr. Durkin, would not have been
honored by his party associates with
an unopposed renoiuinatioii. For if
there were anything the matter with
the books or records it would have been
Mr. Durkin's place and duty long ago
to have made the fact public. Ills
silence Is proof presumptive that
everything is all right In the commis
sioners' oflice and his endorsement by
the Scranton Times for another term
on a platform of "open the books" Is
flther a slap at him because he hasn't
done his duty or a confession that Edi
tor Lynett Is merely talking for effect.
AVliut Is true as to the Importance
from a Republican standpoint of sup
porting the Republican candidates for
jnntilssionor is equally true as to
ffcry other nominee on the Republican
ticket. Each is a part of the party
battle line and every Democrat elected
over the head of a good Republican Is
just so much additional opposition to
bo overcome afterward. Everybody of
intelligence knows that the election
this full is simply a preliminary to the
big presidential struggle two years
hence. Each party Is getting Its lines
into column formation for that decisive
light. The Democrats will seize every
gain now as an encouragement to in
creased, exertion then. Give them an
inch and they will try to take an oil. It
doesn't pay to give the Inch. The thing
to do Is kindly but firmly to put every
mother's son of them out of political
business, at least until their party be
comes worthy of public confidence and
trust.
The Hind of government which the
city ot Scranton has enjoyed during
the past year and a half Is not calcu
lated to put much force Into Brother
l.yueit's stugo fright tit the Infamous
ripper.
A Matter of Importance.
ECRETABY SHAW, ill a
speech at Detroit Saturday
night, put tlio ship subsidy
', problem In u new light by
pointing out that at present one-fourth
of the; earth's population, living in Eu
rope, (buy. 70 per cent, of our exports,
whllo In li measure wo are neglecting tlio
other Jthree-fourths, who could easily
be converted Into moio liberal pur
chase! of Amerlcatr-imtdc goods.
Secretary Shaw's suggestion ot a
first s'tcp toward developing markets
now only partly und imperfectly
leached by American exporters was
characteristically shrewd. Instead of
arranging n scheme of ship subsidies
calculated to put the greater part of
its proceeds Into the pockets of steam
ship companies plying between this
country 'and Europe, a direction of
travel liiii'l . transportation always sure
to bo jwell occupied, Mr, Shaw pro
poses jliiu n ship subsidy scheme bu
devlsecy which will give Its principal
encouragement to the establishing of
new lljirs between this country and
South 2 America, for example, and
South 'Africa and the islands of the
beas.
At present, nn American wishing to
send a consignment of merchandise to
a South American port has to ship
it first (o Europe and re-ship it or else
send It from an American port by a
Slow sailing boat, or by what Is known
as a tramp steamer, that Is, a boat
v"
without nny regular ports of call but
Btibjeet to hiring us one would hire n
livery tenni. Tito disadvantage ot a
tramp steamer Is that unless you have,
a shipment largo enough to constitute
a complete cargo, there Is 110 telling
when the goods Will he delivered,
Tlio iitiestlon ot restoring the Ameri
can ling to the world's ocean-carrying
trade, so that American goods can ho
cheaply and profitably carried In
American ships under the American
colors to all parts of the world, Is one
of the most pressing public Issues be
fore congress. The Uepuhllcan party
proposes to do something toward solv
ing this problem. As usual, the Demo
cratic party kicks and bucks, but of
fers no specific suggestion. If the
country wants this matter settled,
therefore, It will Imvo to elect n Re
publican congress. A vote for William
Council and. the Republican ticket this
full will be Indirectly 11 vote for an
American merchant murine.
Newspaper mathematicians are busy
figuring the money loss ot the coal
strike. That wns big, but In compari
son wllli iliu loss in respect for law
and order and In healthy, old-fashioned
Americanism, It was small. Tlio money
loss can be recovered In a few months
of prosperity; but tlio recovery of the
other loss within the life-time of the
present generation Is less certain.
Patents Produce- Trusts.
THE STEEL TRUST Is not
alone dependent upon Its
great combination of capital
to maintain Its supremacy.
It has ore fields and It has patents,
and the patents held by Mr. Carnegie
did more to build up his great Indus
try and enable him to defy competition
tliMli any other influence.
Thomas Jefferson, that patron Faint
of the Democratic party, was the father
of the patent ofllcc as he was the orig
inal expansionist of this country. Mr.
Jefferson believed In encouraging In
vention by giving the inventor a mon
opoly In the right to the use and profit
for a term of years. He secured a rec
ognition of patents in the constitution
and ho not only secured the adoption
of the first patent law. but as secre
tary ot stale he was the first to Issue
patents under the law. The patent
laws of this country have been recog
nized the world over as the mother ot
Invention, and at the same time they
produced the first great trusts in this
country by giving a monopoly in the
use of valuable inventions for a term
of years, enabling them to charge ex
travagant prices. The patent granted
to Ellas Howe, jr., in ls-10, for the eye
In the point of the needle, made the
sewing machine a practical success,
and It has been estimated that the
four-motion feed patent earned $J2,000,
000 for Its owners. It was Issued In
1S,"0 for a term of It years, and twice
extended for terms of seven years,
making 2S years in all. It created a
monopoly in the manufacture of sew
ing machines and earned many mil
lions for the inventors, who were poor
men.
The Bell telephone patent Is sulci to
have earned more for Its owners than
did the sewing machine patents and
the telephone monopoly is still in ex
istence, one of the greatest trusts In
the world so far as extortion goes. The
Bessemer and other patents did more
to create the first big steel trust than
any other power because they revolu
tionized the Iron and steel industry.
The patents on new inventions in agri
cultural Implements and machinery
created 11 giant industry with millions
of capital, the power of combination
and the power to fix prices.
There are many extensive industries
which are entirely the creation ot pat
ents. The manufacture of oleomargar
ine nnd glucose and wood pulp and
high explosives like dynamite, the elec
trical industries, the manufacture of
rubber goods, of phonographs, of pho
tography and typewriters, or bicycles
and motor-carriages, ns well as of
sewing machines, are the creation of
patents secured by poor inventors as a
reward for their genius. These in
clude some of the trusts that are most
objectionable to the people and they
n ro In no way affected by the tariff for
the patents are registered not alone In
this country but all over the civilized
world where patents are recognized and
civilization calls for such improve
ment and development of manufacture.
Thomas Jefferson was worthy to bo
recognized us the patron saint of any
political party but the Democratic
party has given little recognition to his
genius except In adopting catch phrases
from his speeches and writings. As
Hie father of our patent system Jeffer
son gave the impetus to invention
which In the first century of this gov
ernment has revolutionized the indus
tries of the world. In doing this the
patent laws have also created groat
trusts but who will step forward and
Insist on the repeal of our patent laws
and stopping the machinery of tlio
world or chocking inventive genius lie
cause these laws and this system have
Incidentally produced trusts'.'

Judging the tree' by its fruits, St.
Luke's Episcopal church must bo put
well forwnnl among the foremost ot
the vital llilltiences that have made
Bcranton what It Is. For the fifty yours
of Its existence In our community, ntitl
especially during tlio past decade, under
the untiring and most effective rector
ship of Rev. Rogers Israel, it lias been
a fountain of education and betterment,
with Institutional features which have
ministered as no other religious de
nomination ministers to the temporal
needs of the masses itud which have
been ot far-reaching benefit upon our
social and civic as well ns upon our te
llglotis life.- In the spirit of tlio cele
bration, now In progress, of Its semi
centennial all well-Informed Seritntonl
nns most heartily nnd sympathetically
join, wltli gratitude for the past and
best wishes for the future.
The lesson of the Hnrrlaburg deci
sions Is that the Democracy of Lacka
wanna. If It is to deserve a place on
the olllclal ballot, must organize under
n responsible leadership, proceed In Its
party deliberations In accordance with
law and not permit Itself to bo made
the plaything of a few ambitious men
who think that brute force can lake the
place of brains. If there Is any merit
In the party it will be nil the better
for a little discipline.
It will probably take years to decide
which side won most In the coal strike
settlement, therefore there Is not much
use In worrying about It now. The
present duty is to get back to work und
get the strike bitterness out of thn com
munity as quickly and as effectually as
possible. To accomplish this, all hands
must give a lift.
Of course today's convention of
miners, will stand by John Mitchell.
What other leader has done for them
what Mitchell lias? Where Is the man
who can take Mitchell's place?

THE CONVENTION of mine workers
that has been called to act upon the
terms of settlement will lie ill ncl--.1

upon an Immediate return 'to work, with
out further debate or question, leaving
all disputes nnd claims to the Just de
termination of the commissioners ap
pointed by the president. The victory
Unit has been won for the miners In this
agreement Is so great and bo far reaching
that they can well alfnril to accept It in
a contented and hopeful spirit that will
leave no room for prejudice, resentment
or recrimination. The victory will be of
value to them In propcutlou to the wis
dom and discretion with which they use
it.
The fact must not be lost sight of that
this settlement lias not been reached liy
angry contention or Intimidation, but by
the Insistent public demand, of which tlio
president was simply the exponent, that
the public needs must be considered, and
that the disputants must llucl n peaceful
and orderly way to adjust their relations
to one another without Indicting further
injury upon the country. It matters llltlu
which side may be held to have yielded
the most. No one doubts the impartiality
or the competence of the chosen tribunal,
and the iinioservcd referenco to It of tha
wholo suli.'i'ct at Issue is In Itself 11 far
greater recognition than tlio Mine Work
ers could have hoped' for when they en
tered upon this stilUe.
As their representative and leader
throughout tlio controversy, Mr. Mitchell
has attained a position of extraordinary
responsibility and influence. Be has re
tained the coulldence of those he repre
sented, and, generally speaking, and In
spite of obvious mistakes, ho bus won a
largo measure of respect from the public
at large. It Is easy to sen how much must
depend, In the future course of events,
upon his ability to flit this responsible po
sition. It must bo said frankly that his
letter to President Roosevelt Is a disap
pointment. Its tone Is not that of the
magnanimous victor; of the leader con
scious of the justice of his cause. It is
querulous and contentious, and under
takes to argue the very matters It is pro
posed to leave to nihltmllon. If It bu
said that ho Is only replying to state
ments of tlio operators, It must be re
called not only thai two wrongs do not
make a right, but that the matter bus
now reached a stage at which all such
dlsputo or argument or recrimination
must bo excluded If tlio icsort to peaceful
arbitrament Is to be fruitful of good re
sult. Moreover, whllo nominally ad
dressed to the president, tho letter Is ac
tually addressed to tho Mine Workers,
who need nt this lime to bo soberly ad
vised, and not to bo stirred Into hostility
to their employers.
Whatever may be tlio final determina
tion of the president's commissioners,
which cannot be expected for 11 very long
time to come, tho 0110 essential object
sought Is tho establishment of harmoni
ous relations between tho owiicib and
the workers In tho mines relations that
shall bo not only mutually profitable, but
mutually agreeable, and based upon mu
tual confidence. Fnless this can bo at
tained, no terms of settlement can he
of any avail, it Is nno of tho unfortu
nate results of modern tendencies to Im
pair tho direct personal relations that
formerly existed between employers and
tho employed, nnd It may bo that these
can never bo u'stored. but tho separa
tion cannot bo pushed to tin nxlremo
without disaster. It would bo quite pos
sible, by constant agitation and organ
ized Interference, to mnkn tho business
of coal mining so uncerlaln and annoy
ing that men of liberal disposition would
be driven out of It, preferring to close
their mines rather than contluiio tho
thankless struggle, and tho Mine Work
eis would Unci themselves without mines
to work In, Capital can find other and
more piolltable employment than in an
thraclto mining, but miners hovo 110 other
occupation.
This dues not make them helpless. On
tho contrary, they hovo Just seen how
tho power of public opinion will protect
their Interests and insist upon a redress,
of their Just grlovnnrrs, It Is us rurliiln
ns anything human can ho that this trib
unal will do tho fullest Justice to tho
workers In tho mines, ami will deal on
broad and liberal lines with tho larga
questions of organization and operation
that will ccimo bo fo ro It. If Its (hidings
nro lo do good, they must ho prepared

Hon of Industry in a sphlt of hnrmony
and trust. No tribunal' has compulsory
power over tho hearts and minds of men,
but lliosn who are trusted by them and
have Influence among them may do much
to lead and guide them alight. Heroin Is
Mr. Mitchell's responsibility, in which It
Is hoped that ho will not fall. Tho peo

Tho total and sum of political sin.
Whereby I am able to moke a loud bluft

In aid of my hope to get Democrats in.
The ripper, tls true, gives our city a fash

With taxes reduced and economy's pas
