substantial, propel tj-owniiiR el.i'-s of
citizens, u host when united, do not b
any means pippoe to fly the fl.ijr of
socialism and yield tlie government of
this great city to class lanatlclsin and
excesses. Why not Rive them a leader
and cairy the Issue to a show-down?
But whom? Without naming' tlie man
himself, we can at least say what he
, should be like. He liould not, for in
stance, bo a faetionalist. He should
not hao inside a fallute of the job once
befoie. Ho should not be piimarily an
oillce-seoker and political Riaftei. He
should bo a llojiular, capable man 01
affairs, whom the tax pajeis would feel
like ti listing to manage their interests.
Nominate that l;ind of a man on the
Jtepublic.in ticket and he can be elect
d. Tiy to put on it some sit by nine
paity heeler with a lecord for faring
'every way and the ticket will go down
so deep that theie will be no need of an
Inquest, for the coipse will never be 10
eovered. There isn't much time left if tlie Re
publicans are to act. The reglstiation
loses tomoriow. Of course the battle
can be surrendered In advance, but that
would hardly look well for Scranton's
Republican manhood.
Attorney Burns' motion for a non

- TpHH Philadelphia Ledger leams
I from an opeiator who at
JL tended tho meeting of oper-
atois in Now York last Tues
, day that it has been decided to con
tinue the lecently announced special 50
ents additional piiee of anthracite
' throughout 190 J. The Ledger calculates
k, tlmt this would Increase by $28,000,000
jj the pinflts of the operators in that
year, a sum moie than sufllclont to re
k' imburse them for losses sustained In
1 consequence or .the strike. As CO cents
' added to the wholesale selling price of
J coal usually means about ?1 extia. by
., the time tho coal arrives in tho bin of
v the consumer, this would mean that
the late coal strike, In addition to wli.it
It has already done In way of injuiy
to tho pnblc, will inciease the public's
buidens appioxlmately $30,000,000 a
year.
, If this sum woio dhlded among tho
110,000 w 01 Iters In the mines it would
, Rive each one, breaker boys and all, an
""" Increase of $100 a jear, raislrg their
. incomes to an nveniRo lar nbovo that
of labor of similar skill anywheio else
, in tho woild. Assuming Huso ilgmcs
to bo curie-lit, it would, last sinlng,
have been intlnltely rheaper to niaku

out of Iho Venezuelan
ontr(iVery no tunglblc
lcasou as yet to cause
the United Staton to enleituln doubts
nf IjiiRlund'n friendship ,and honorable
deillng, the pi initial lty of her tilllaneo
with aermimy In older to settle a small
matter In dispute with a small powet
like Vcnes'Uela cannot escape notice and
naturally cm-Hch wonder.
The lime was when tho Riltlsh lAon

not caie for Uiltlsh Interests without
111 st establishliiR n p.11 tncrshlp tin unpe

taney with which his majesty's rovoiii
meiil tumbled Into the aims of the kai
ser und took up with tlie hitter's pro

puny Venezuela the two stioiiRest

Iblo poweis of Iiittln-AinerUa deinon
stiales either a sub-current of peilldlmis
Intent legardlng the Momoo doctilne,
needlnR the sttong arm of the kaiser to
biacc It up, or a softening of the brain.
We dismiss the foimer but see no es
cape fiom the latter explanation. Evi
dently John Bull's 1101 vu has not ie
coveud lrom the lavages of the liocr
war.
Imagine how the dignity of the Unit
ed States would look if, having a cluim
against, let us say, Roumnnla, It should
fear to press It until It could taku some
othet giant power into partnership and
thus, by thdr formidable joint frontage,
scare the life out of the people ot Uuu-
manla and, let us nNn assume, make It
inconvenient for Russia to Intorfeie, If,
in her Judgment, interference might
become necessary to safegunid Russian
Intel est. We do not believe that that
would ever be tlie Ameiican way. The
American people fiom the dajs of
Washington down h.ne happily been
taught to paddle their own canoe. Thev
attend to their affairs themselves. Thev
ask no 'odds uf other nations, though
alwa.s glad to welcome the friendly
co-operation of all nations.
It is pitiable to see Gieat Btit.itu le
dueed to the dimensions of a "mo too"
to Germany. But it tlie Kngllsh people
are satisfied witli that telatiohship wu
do not see that it is up to Amei leans to
complain.
From Dewey's evolutions to a 1 evolu
tion in the Venezuelan status is a step
which the other fellows had better not
ciowd him into taking.
Football.
CONSIDRRINO the gieat popu
larity of tho Ramp and tlie
enormous number of young
men who engage In foot ball
dming the season all over the countiy,
the number of casualties and fatalities
are, after all, significantly small. Iveiy
foot ball accident is duly and widely
chronicled, while the cdltoiial moraliz
ing upon it Is without end or issue. One
v.ould imagine from these ciitlcisms
that foot ball was the lefliiement of
physical brutality, a game in which
mere animal strength and impetuosity
led to nothing but bioken necks or
bioken limbs. The accidents to which
foot ball players aie liable aie grossly
exaggerated. The aveiago foot ball
player who is guided by the lules of
the game, who takes the smallest pie
caution to ensuie his own safety and
that of h's companions, as rarely meets
with a seiatch as lie Inflicts one. No
one- can deny that theie aio foot ball
players who seem to imagine the
rougher and moie headstiong the play,
the liner the spectacle; there aio otheis
who think less or winning the gamo
than attracting by bravado and show
tlie attention or the spectator, and
thoio are still other.-, who think that
nothing is admiiable in play which is
not characterized by main stiongth and
ignorance. We believe, however, that
they aie in a laige ininoilty In every
malch, and the ethical code in the foot'
ball Held Is high and becoming higher.
Toot ball is rightly legarded as one
of the most stimulating, as it ceilalnly
Is one of the most strenuous, of outdoor
spoils. The season In which it Is
played heie- is necessarily circumscilbed
to a Tew wer ks in the rail. In nngluud
foot ball can be plajed practically all
the ve.ir lound. Rut like base bail
here, the sport there has become hugely
a piofessional one. Any
miiiio whirh '
becomos solelv or hugely piofessional I
lap.d.y degeneiatcs Into an undlgnlllcd
sciiimblo between rival teams for gate
money. Pojuihu Inteicst lu tho game
Itself becomes a form of dissipation,
Foot ball in this countiy can never
become pioressional. Tlie Feason is too
shmt. It Is largely 1 unfilled to unl
veistly studenti! and Is looked upon
gem tally as a buineh of physical cu.
lino lu the- scholastic woild.
Xo one can deny that foot ball Is 11
needlessly lough game. The n.Ies of ,
tho g.imn need lovlslon Theie Is no
le.ison why thn ".sotlutmugo" should
not bo gie.itly modined, if not alto
gether abolish-d. It Is uiiiiccessiuy und
In lt piactlce lies nil tho danger,
fbinies, above all things, should bo
logical-. If It is tlio object or tho play
er to got a ball acioss tho goal by
kicking It, It should bo sped on its way
by the feet and not by a buffalo-llko
uisli of tho playei.s' heads or ti links,
The Incidental danger has, of louiso,
Its fuscliuitlon; but however peimls
slble It i.s for tho Individual to Indulge
In It, or look for Jt, the playei.s In a
loot ball team havo a eoiporate ie
Fpoiislblllty to tliemselvcft and their
opponents of which tho Individual
sportsman Is altogether free, Play
which in any way outiages public sen
timent loses much of Its Inlieient at
tractiveness. .Some day Geimany's mailed list will
make the mistake of stilklng against a
stone wall and then there will be pyio
technles. As a concession to (Ineral Miles and
his friend, Sceietuiy Hoot asks con
gress to puss the 111 my staff bill with
tlio oiifoi cement clauro dated ahead so
thnt it will not affect Miles. Certainly
this ought to satisfy and gratify Miles'
Vanity. Not every tumy olllcer Is en
abled to have his whims put above Iho
best Interests of the soivlee.
President Roosevelt Is willing to rIrii
11 bill admitting Arlxona and New Mex
ico Joined in one, but lie opposes admit
ting the two scpaiutcly. If they aio
nut ready to come In sepaiutely, better
let them grow it while. .
It will piobably appear In tlio strike
commission's report that tho "scab" still
has some rlRlils which tho striker Is
bound to lespect.
Oeinmny rxpeels this Vonesuiulan
duuy to stimulate, navy building. Well,
It certainly won't illscottiaRo It In the
United States.
Tlie "also tan" class of nuiopenn
claimants' Is optn for leglstry and bus
iness nt the boK otllee seems to bo
brl-k.
It piobably Is Just as well for tho
peace of mankind that Consul Oscar
Williams Is not In South America now.
It could be wished that AilKona and
New Mexico wetc w 01 th all the tiouble

question was one foi tho Judicial v to de

and summoned tioops to cany out the

cupied thill laud for 111010 than iwoho
