Tlie Individual Operator.
AT A TIMK when tho ilovo of
prare suoineil ti be hovering
over tho (Ipllliemtlons of the
."tilNc eoininlsslon 11111I tho
negotiations nf the attorneys or the big
compiinles with the attorneys or John
Mitchell iind the miners' union were
tending low-utd 11 handolasp or fellow
ship ami 150ml will, why should the t-o-L'dllcil
Inileperulent operators rule a ciy
of alarm and threaten to shoo that
dove away? Wt eiiii imagine persom
til a dlstaneo asking this question and
for.their enlightenment it nilsjht be np
proprlnlB to explain.
Tlie independent opeiator Is In a dif
ferent position flam the bif,' company
operator. Jlo has only hl coal mlim to
draw levenne from, and usually it Is a
mine which some bijc company has sot
through with and In which lie is pick
ing the leavings. The big company, on
the other liaud, has both ItH mines and
its railroads, and it can run one very
rlof o" to the margin of actual loss ir it
can recoup fioin the other.
When the mine troubles began they
ruught the Independent, or, more prop
erly, tho individual operator for he
isn't nearly as independent as lie looks
between the upper and tho nether mill
stone. The union wouldn't treat with
lilm or let Us men work for lilm except
by a Rcueral settlement and while Ids
Jiilne and that nf tho bis' company
were both idle the difference hi favor
of. the bis company was that its rail
road trains were running' and helping
to keep the wolf from Its door. As a
matter of fact, tho so-c.illed independ
ent operator was about as dependent a
specimen of business man as could be
found in. the land, bavins neither the
jhiwcp to b.-it'Kalu for labor without the
liif? companies' consent, nor the assur
ance that if ho could come to terms
with the union and get men to so Into
lus mine hccoiild then get eaivj. to carry
tho mined coal to market.
Tho'stiiko of 1900 bioucht some meas
ure' of relief to the individual operator.
In that It forced the. bit; companies to
oxouute a contract with him agreeius;
to take his entire output indefinitely
upon a percentage basis conditional
upon tlie tidewater price. Inasmuch as
wages help to determine tlie tidewater
juice, tho individual operator had no
voice or hand in deciding' to light the
second demand of the miuor.V union for
increased pay. but again was caught
between two warring elements each
MruiUfpr than himself. With a trust on
nun and a trust underneath, he was
trulv tin object of pity.
I tut when, after Mitfcrlng great iosa
fiom a strike ho could neither avert
nor .'cttlo and strnlnlwT his ciedit in
ctinip instances almost to the breaking
olnt, ho managed toward tlie latter
cud of the struggle to ;ct home of his
piopertlcs In operation along omnia the
sudden lay-down In Wall street, the big
iMinpanios thimv up their hands nnd
the commission Is appointed Tho com
mission invites the individual operator
to participate In Its hearings, ho pre
pares bis case and his evidence and Is
about ready to show to the coinmis
hlun and the country the exact truth
about tho whole anthracite situation
when, again, the big companies exe
cute one of their peculiar moves by
trying to negotiate a settlement out of
court and onco more tho man whom It
concerns most deeply Ih not consulted.
Naturally tho Individual operator Is
incoming tired of thus being used as a
not ball and his dispatching an em
bassy to New Ynvk'to discover' If pos.
sjlblo where he !. nj. Is. a syinptom of
Unwillingness which Ilia moguls would

Tho New Oovenor's Work.
WHIM: nobody has been
able yet to get much of
a line 011 the personnel
' or the Pcnnypneker ad
ministration, there Is general expecta
tion and belief that tho new executive
of Pennsylvania, will stand ilrnily for
certain well-dellncd pollcien of govern
ment nnd use his whole power to put
them Into opor.itlon. Among them are:
Reapportionment.
Ballot r of nam.
On both of these propositions Judgo
Pennypnekor -will have the cordial sup
port of the gtvat mass of Kepubllcan
voteis and as he Is In a position to
command tin.- co-operation of what
many persons call tho sometimes re
fractory Quay machine, lie ought to
t-eoto results. Tleapportiumiieut Is not
only obligatory under the constitution,
but tibsolutcly essential to fair play.
Equality of representation In the law
making power Is a fundamental of
American government and Ucpubllcuns
can with poor grace bemoan Its ab
sence In the Democratic South, when In
Kepttbllcui: Pennsylvania, In spite of
constitutional mandate and apparently
regardless of public and party senti
ment, there .bus been Inexcusable In
equality lrjuintulnetl with Impunity for
a score of years.
Secondary only been use not reaching
so deeply Into tho equities Is the matter
of ballot reform. This lias become Im
perative If elections are, not to degen
erate Into farces., Tho present cum
brous ballot, with its encouragement to
juushioom parlies .swelling the number
of columns out of all reason and con
fusing the count If nol tho voter, should
be swept to the junk heap and the real
Australian ballot substituted instead.
This would classify candidates by par
ties under the offices to be filled and
Instead of wallpaper tickets give a
small page with a single column re
quiring' one mark for each man voted
for.
Of equal Importance is tlie subject of
uniform primaries, but while these are
desirable we fear they are remote. For
the prefeenl, if in addition to giving, as
he will give, a clean administration
governed by fidelity to public obliga
tion and unswerving high purpose, tho
new governor shall use Ills whole power
to bring- Into law those two reforms,
tho confidence of his friends will be
justified and the reasonable expecta
tions of the people fulfilled.
According to the auditor of the post
ofllee department, the present money
order system Is unprofitable. II cer
tainly is Inconvenient. Why not do
away with it in favor of the post check
system?
Tho President and Addicks.
AN AUTHORIZED explanation
of the president's appolnt
, ment of William B. Byrne, o
Delaware, to be the XTnlted
States district attorney, Is made
by Charles I2mory Smith in the
Philadelphia Press. It does not
mean that tho president lias
becorno a partisan of "Oas" Addicks
or a partisan against lilm; it has no
factional significance- whatever. Says
Mr. Smith:
".Mr. Byrne held the ofilce by appoint
ment of President McKlnley. Ho de
termined to accept the candidacy of the
Addicks faction for congress. President
Itoosuvelt thereupon required lilm to re
sign, pending the canvass, because he
fell that, whilo running for the one
office under the circumstances, Mr.
Byrne ought noi to hold tho other.
After ho failed of election the president
re-appolntod lilm. Sir. Byrne was re
appointed without tlie slightest refer
ence to the Addicks or tho antl-Addicks
issue. If ho had been the anti-Addlcks
candidate for congress lie would have
been re-appo!nted Just the same. He
was named neither to help nor to hurt
anybody. The president appointed lilm
on personal grounds, which hi his Judg
ment hnimuniKod with sound public
grounds. Ho was the one federal oifl
tvr in tho state who was personally
known to the president, llu bad ren
dered valued service to Mr. Roosevelt
and to the public Interests while Mr.
Hoosevelt was still governor of New
York. Ho had slnco served the public
welfare In other relations which wpip
specially known to the president, and
for these reasons bo was re-appointed.
It may be further stated that tho presi
dent will not identify himself or his
administration with any 'faction. The
federal patronage will not bo used to
build up or to tear down any Intorest."
Wo should Imagine that this expla
nation ought to satisfy reasonable
criticism, it seems, to be sure, a little
strange that a man should bo pulled
out of olllre one day, to be put back In
tho next, but as long as Byrne and the
president are willing to do business In
thut manner 11 does not became others
to complain, As for llyrne's being a
partisan, what man 'of consequence is
not?
The Sultan of Ilacolod, It seems, could
have been more properly designated as
the Sultan of Bluff,
Ominous Questions,
CONHliltVATIVH men are begin.,
nlng to ask ominous questions
with tegard to thu )nospprlty
which 's now fo patent. The
other day a former assistant secretary
of the, treasury, Mr. Ynndetilp, told a
convention of bankers that he had
found In Kuiopo among keen students
of economics trud linauce, a feeling of
growing distrust of American 'security
values, and warned his heaters that In
cautious expansion of credits might be
expected hereafter, as In the past, to
culminate In disaster,
Offsetting this view, the comptroller
of the currency, Mr. Itldgely, told an
other convention of bankers how broad
ly our piosperlty Is founded In the sub
atantlul achievements of labor and In
great developments of uatutal re
sources formerly dormant In the earth.
He died figures, which wo copied at
tho time, to show that notwithstanding
bank credits had run high, farm and
other solid property values had In
creased In turn more rapidly nnd
seemed still far from tho limit bt prob
able Increase.
Milt 11 new factor I outorhiK the
equation. Cleneral and generous In
creases In wagea are. being niiulc l 'h
dustrtnl circles: but no sooner are they
made than steps nrp taken to
charge theui back upon the consumer,
and with prices already hlBh, price
quotations seem destined to go yet
higher. AS each consumer Is raised In
price he will naturally try to pass the
Innrease along; but it lime will conic
when, through mishap or caprice of
nature, the mutual raising comes to
n hall, and what then?
I-'low nnd ebb Is it natural Inevitable.
When the How reason the ebb begins.
On n market mil of Inilntloii, with
every aim or business nnd Industry ap
parently being lo take out of the near
est pocket more than Is put In. the
question presents Itself lo the thought
ful observer, What would bo the prob
able consequence of 1111 tinforseen Inter
ruption tending to check the llond tide
or reverse It into nn ebb?
Where men remain reasonable and
cool, panic seldom takes place. But if
In ti fever of good times men become
careless or reckless, getting away from
sound business principles and too heav
ily hypothecating their hopes, Is it not
seasonable to sound warnings? Are
not the American people drifting to
danger fiom the very excitement of
their superabundant welfare?
Now here's a curious fact. Good
Brazilian coffee costs, raw, In New
York only C cents a pound; yet by tho
time It reaches the consumer the price
Is SO cents. Wherefoio and why?

ljowevor much we mny disapprove tho
public policies which he represents, there
can bo in healthy minds nothing but ad
miration for Theotloio Hoosevelt as a.
citizen and u man. What a plcndld con
trast he presents In his sturdy manhood,
tireless activity ami lofty patriotism, to
his miilll-mllllopalre kinsman, AVllliam
Waldorf Astoi licking Alfred Edward's
boots and whining that America Is not a
fit place for a gentleman to live In I If
any better specimen of American man
hood exists lli.tu tho Santiago rough
rider, the chief magistrate of seventy
ilvo mlllidn people, he has not yet 001110
to tho front. The texture or his mind is
icmnrkable. Ills mental growth since ho
came to the presidency is phenomenal,
llo has risen lo ovi-ry occasion, has never
failed to acquit himself not only with
credit, but with distinction.
In his democratic simplicity, hearty
good humor, broad sympathies strength
of body and mind, physical and moral
courage, energy, purity of heart, uncom
promising Americanism, unswerving hon
esty; as much at home among tho
High School boys of Philadelphia as
among tho grave seigneurs of tho
Union league: as debonair in tho twanips
of Mississippi as in tho executive man
sion. Mr. Roospvcll has never been found
wanting In any quality that goes to make
a man.
We are all proud of this true gentle
man; glad to do him honor. Tho pity of

on the eternal principles of liberty, equal

AS CROSS AS A BEAR.
"You'ie as cioss as a bear!" said Bess
to Billy.
Undo Jim whistled. "Bears aieu'l cross
to member of their own family," ho said.
"Now, I knew a bear onco"
Bess and Billy both inn lo him and
climbed up on his lap.
"Did you really ever Know a near,
ciied Billy, with wide open eyes.
"Well, not Intimately," said Uncle Jim,
"but t used to go hunting them when I
was up in Canada, and one day I was out
with 11 hunting party and wo saw light
straight in lront of us what do you sup
poso?" "A real bear!" gasped tho children in
concert.
"Yes, 11 teal mother bear and her Ut
ile sua. Tho dogs started after them, and
the bother bear began to run, but tho
little baby son couldn't run as fast as she
did, and tho dogs wero gaining on him,
so what do you suppose tho mother bear
did? Leave her little son behind? No,
slr-ce-ee, she picked tho baby bear up on
her stout noso and tossed lilm way alieau;
then she ran fast and caught up to him
and gavo ,him another boost that sent
him flying through the air. Sho kept Ibis
up for a mllo anil u half, then sho was
too tired to so any further, and the dogs
surrounded her. Then she sat up 011 her
haunches, took her baby In her bind paws
and fought tho dogs off with her fore
paws. And how sho did roar!"
Boss shuddeied.
"You could hear her miles away. She
never forgot her baby; kept guarding
him till the time. When tho mother was
shot tho baby cub jumped on her dead
body and tried to light off the dogs with
his llltlo baby paws. That's tho way tho
beais stand by each other. Sometimes I
think they lovo each other butter than
brothers nnd sisters. Hoy, Boss, whnt
are you crying about? I guess I won't
tell you any moro bear stories If that is
tho way It makes you fool."
"Billy," sobbed Bess, "you're as good

Then they all laughed together and for
