JOHN MITCHELL. Out of the ranks of labor and from public life is removed one of the most trusted men in the death of John Mitchell. His life was an example of what may be accomplished in this country by the poor boy who has the will to work hard enough to win suc- cess. _ Beginning as a boy worker in the coal mines when eleven vears old and studving at night to gain an educa- tion was the first ster in his rise to aigher things. He first came into na- donal prominence as secretary and oresident of the mine workers' organ- zation and then became a vice presi- “{ Tribune’s dent of the American Federation of Labor. For a time he lectured on the aims and purposes of organized labor and also was a prolific writer about labor problems. During recent vears be had been serving in various public capacities in New York, having been a member of theworkingmen's com- pensation commission and chairman of the state industrial commission. Mr. Mitchell was trusted alike by the laboring men from whose ranks he came and by the industrial “interests. He was known to be honest, courage- ous and farsighted. To him there came many opportunities to better his own position in life by forgetting for the time being that in his youth he, too. had toiled underground and had known all the bardships of manual labor. He stood firm in the faith, ever remembering his beginnings and ever true to the great throng of working- men who loved and trusted him. PRESIDENT’S “ANGEL.” Senator Sherman of Illinois grasped one of the opportunities that the II- linois senator so richly enjovs when he had read into the Congressional Record the other day a brief charac- terization of Henry Ford which was inspired by the senator's discovery that the automobile maker twas fi- nancing a news bureau which was of- fering to furnish to newspapers, free of charge, a complete daily account of the president’s trip through the west. This news matter, said the senator. as reported in the New York Sun, deals with the second hegira of the president from the seat of govern- ment. The first hegira took last December. and like all zood Mo- hammedans we begin now to date all | time from the first or second hegira of the prophet and the flight of. the faithful with him. | Senator Sherman lows: “The president is fortunate in such + promoter. Henry is intensely prac- tical, possesses the income and cares ! not whit for history, phrase mak- ing or book learning of any kind. Tt jhas been intimated that Mr. Ford short in supplies of this character. But no matter; the president is long lon every kind of intellectual forage. Henry has the monev and our be- loved president has the ideas. When the two combine the public education cannot suffer. “Henry himself had a most illumi- nating course in free advertising not loig ago. The Chicago Tribune called him an anarchist and an ignoramus. There were some ornamental frills in addition to the foregoing undesirable | epithets, but the backbone of the misbehavior was the two names. Mr. Ford, on mature reflec- | tion. thouzht he could not stand the | gaff. He had been very liberal in de- continued as fol- a is 1 i | nouncing evervhody else in paid ad- | vertisements, especially if they be- lieved in preparing the country to defend itseif. | “But like most liberal distributors of invective, he squeals louder than anybody else when he is given a stal- wart dose of his own medicine. The more the Detroit jitney builder med- | itated -the higher the damages to his character mounted. “The verdict of 6 cents allowed by the jury of the Tribune's peers—it would be difficult to find twelve men in the United Stites Ford's peers will not go far on furnishing plate matter of the president’s tour against the ‘contemptible: quitters’ on whom {he lavishes his ornate vocabulary |but Henry's income from outside | sources makes the venture reasonabl '\-arn Any newspaper may confident- promise its readers a full o of the president’s s | boilerplate trip.” set of latest EDITORIAL NOTES. we may get through ain Some day 24 hours without Cold storage ma foods but the | sent to a notter pi be a fiteers ce. good place shoutd be more offering ‘o against them. | | The packers are once grandstand play by 1 i | their ass in all investigations They must have some awful movies in Mineola.

The country is overrun with strikes and industrial | meat. it is about the same as saying You cannot do anything without or- gani: ,_said a fell citizen the other day. It is true, little can be done without organization! - how easy organization runs into a coercive sys- tem! And coercive systems are. a departure from individual freedom, whether they are called autocracy. capitalism, unionism. commercialism, Calvinism, or any other kind of ism. And when all the organizations have become coereive the soversizn citi- zen has very little individual freedom left. Coercion may hold or compel you--it binds but dogs not free any- one. In effect there Yeems to be no difference between it and bolshevism, sovietism, or any other ism which ends in violence. Organization should have its limits! 5 The starlings are holding their con-1 ventions and talking in the trees. They come to their meetings by dele- gations, they seem to all talk at once like pupils in a Chinese school and they depart in delegations like any human convention. - They arrive early and never hold their conventions late: but they adjourn them from day to day for several days. The mystery is how they know the hour and the place of meeting. They have no human means of notification. but they have a messengerless. or wireless. way - of fixing day and date. Man is not keen enbugh to discover this system which so resembles Marconi's wireless, al-| thougl it is known to all wild life. The fish in the sea, the beasts in the field and the birds in the air all understand | this soundless call system. We should all the better understand the beauty and power of silence.. It lends power to the devout, and charm to the life of the woodsman. The chil- dren of the forest value silence as| protective, 'and only through silence can their confidence be gained and lineir habits learned. The devout| know that through silence they come | into a fuller comprehension of the | llaws of their Creator. and sather to | themselves a faith and strensth at- tained in no other way except by go- ing into the silence. which is_cdlled “the ecstatic bliss of souls.” Silence is said to be the temple of our purest thoughts, and the eloguence of discre- tion. The joy which thrills the soul has no voice, makes no sound: nei- ther does the assurance which blesses the soul redeemed. It is well to remember that “the worst of slaves is he whom passion rules!” The man whom anger rules has lost the power to talk straight, or to see straight. There is -nothing which can make a man so blind as can prejudice. ept a Hun bullet. A calm person is usually a sane person— a blysterer usually finds his best de- fense in his feet. The man who is ight finds strength in firmness. not in fists. To become a savage and a eriminal never advanced any good cause. To command sympathy and support it must always be shown the cause is just. Appeals to intolerance, or violence is evidence of weakness. i During the stress of the world-war the battle-c of our heroes was: “‘Are we down-hearted? No!" This was not the cry of the new recruit, but of the decimated forces back from the front trenches, burning with resolution . and . zeal, notwith- standing the trials and consuming fire of war. This cry represented | resolution and faith combined, some- thing as commendable in the dail struggles of life as in the fierce con- flict of nations. “Are we down-heart- ed? XNo! is a winning slogan in all the struggles and trials of life. Do not let anything bear down upon your mind so that it cannot repeat to it- self: “Cheerio!” This is zood medi- cine morning, noon and night for those who have a trend toward the zloom which may in the end call up seven devils to haunt one Of course everybody makes mis- takes, although some folks claim| | they never do: but they buy the lead| encil with the rubber end. and this is material evidence that Ty makes ‘em!

The prohibition- ists in many of the towns want a vote on the question, too, as they say that the voting will show that the major- tv of the people favor prohibition, and will show it at the polls. The *“wet” advocates, on the other hand. also want a test vote, as their contention is that the majority favor the opening of the saloons, and will s0 voice their feelings at the polls. Un- doubtediy there will be several towns where a vVote will be taken on this important question at this time.
