THE SPEECH OF GO VERNOR HOIES The Iowa Democratic convention yesterday was notable not so much for any utterances of its own, though its platform Is sound, as platforms go. but for the wise and manly speech of its chairman, ex-Governor Boies. So far as it is a declaration of the party faith, it is all that could be asked. Mr. Boies is evidently one of those who believe that party promises are to be kept, even at the risk of offending the sugar trust and Its •‘acquired” Senators. He stands with the President and the House of Representatives for the redemption of party pledges. But excellent as all this Is, the part of the speech which will attract most attention is that dealing with the labor question. In speaking of labor organizations, as affected by the recent troubles, Mr. Boles said: I believe as firmly as I believe In my existence that if their organizations are to be preserved, and continue to be of the least practical benefit to their members, they must see that they neither violate the law themselves nor instigate, aid or abet others to do so. With every loyal citizen of the land who Is a loyal friend Of Its laborers I have been shocked by the flagrant,breaches of law that have characterised so many of the recent labor strikes of the country. I am still more amazed to know that within the circle of some of these unions are men who yet condemn the authorities, both State and national, for Interposing the military arm of each to put an end to conditions that had reached a complete stage of anarchy •nd overthrown in some localities every semblance of law and order. Governor Boies is not a cold-blooded millionaire. He is a. man of the evident sympathies. But he is not a demagogue who would sacrifice the truth for a few miserable votes. His words are wise words. Law'is supreme. The people of this country must not tolerate for an instant any attacks upon law and order. The authorities must be sustained as they were sustained last irenth, in every effort to put down lawlessness. In a seli-governlng country contempt for the law is necessarily fatal, for the law is established by the people, and contempt for law means self-contempt. But Governor Boles govs further than this. After showing that the men who rashly precipitate a strike must be held responsible for the “riots. Incendiarism and bloodshed” which follow in Its train, he,says: * There is another phase of this question of immeasurable importance to individuals. It la the question of the inherent right., or wrong of what some labor leaders term a “sympathetic strike,*’ and was forcibly presented In the Pullman strike. The sympathetic strike must go, or the unions that engage In it will be destroyed, und with It must go forever the scones of riot and carnage that have characterized so many recent strikes; or the organizations responsible for them will be ground Into dust under the iron heal of an awakened public sentiment. We think -people generally are coming to the opinion so well stated in the above words. If strikes can be justified at all— and every one will admit that they are very awkward and very costly expedients —It Is only on the ground that there are grievances which can. be redressed in no other way. A strike Is a war. and men who go to war must have a “decent regard to the opinion of mankind.” Failure in this was the trouble with the Debs strike. It was Intolerable to think that the people of Indianapolis were to he denied the right to travel or even to do business simply because Pullman and his men could not live peaceably to. gether. When therefore Debs appealed to the public for sympathy be was met with the reply that his men bad no grievance, and that there was no reason why the public should be compelled to suffer the consequences of a strike for which there was no excuse whatever. People will be very patient with men who are trying to right their wrongs, but they will not tolerate an Interference with the rights of the public on the part of men who have no wrongs. That is what a sympathetic strike is. Governor Boles is right The sympathetic strike must go.

:

THE CONVERSION OF DEBS. The opinions of Debs are not of much importance, but it is Interesting to note that he is now opposed to strikes. This Is a great and extremely sudden change of heart It has not been a month since ho was ordering strikes right and left, urging men already out to stay out, advising violence and playing the mischief generally. But now. after having by his own wicked act deprived thousands of men of the opportunity to make a living, he coolly abandons them—which is All be could do-advises them to find other work, and declares that he himself “will never again be connected with any strike organization." His con-

version has been sudden and complete. It ts a thousand pities that it did not take place at an earlier date. But Deba has made a discovery- He sAys: This strike has developed the fact that the sentiment of the people of the country is against strikes, and the Government stands ready to put down such movements at the point of the bayonet. I shall hereafter advise all workingmen to seek redress by the ballot. This Is not quite accurate, for up to the time of the Debs strike It could not hat e been truthfully said that the sentiment of the people was against strikes, and if people are now opposed to ail strikes it is because they were disgusted with Debs and his silly performance. So, Debs himself is responsible for the sentiment whose power he has felt. What he says Is more nearly true than it would have been a month ago. There was a time when the people recognized, though they deplored, the necessity for strikes. If that time has passed, it is because the people have grown sick and tired of the professional agitators and their wanton and unprovoked assaults upon the industrial life of the country. But public sentiment was unquestionably against the Debs strike. That is why it failed And public sentiment was against it because it was wrong. We believe that the laboring men generally understand this, and that many even of those who followed Debs did so against their better Judgment, and because they were, in a measure, coerced. Right there is the trouble in so many cases. Men must learn to think of themselves as individuals, rather than .vs members of a class, for the class idea is thoroughly pernicious Every man, whether lie works with his hands cr his mind, or both, is his own master, responsible for his own conduct. He can not afford to abdicate in favor of any one else; least of all should he follow blindly some irresponsible and often characterless labor leader or agitator. Men must insist upon their rights, not only as against their employers, but as against those who would force them to give up their living. That Is one lesson of the strike which Debs does not dwell upon, but which is, nevertheless, of the -greatest importance. Americans must stand against the class and caste theories of civilization. These will not do in this country, and yet the men who would mos/ hotly resist being put into a class brothers are just the ones who have most strongly emphasized such distinctions. The workingman is Important, not because he is a workingman, but because he is an American citizen.

It is obvious that a w-ave of common sense was central over the Iowa Democratic convention yesterday.

The few drops of rain that fell at ap early hour this morning were good as samples, and the parched earth would be glad to place a large order. The war between China and Japan, which has actually been on for several weeks, has now been formally ieclared. All of the great powers have been sending warships to the scene. Russia has, it is said, dispatched eight gunooats to the south from Vladivostock, her great Pacific seaboard. It will be interesting to watch the attitude of the Russian government toward the belligerents. Among the many rumors in regard to the Korean Imbroglio which have been current, there has been a great deal of apprehension as to the possible interference of Russia. If, as has been Intimated. England should take a hand in the war in behalf of China, the peace of Europe might quickly be shaken. The destruction of a vessel flying the English Sag by the Japanese last week will not tend to improve English feeling toward Japan. It has been thought strange that the Chinese government should first send Into Korea her poorest troops, armed with only the most primitive weapons. While little relating to the internal condition of China is sent abroad, it is said that the fear of a domestic uprising is handicapping the government in its ihovements. The Japanese have the advantage which their superior intelligence gives them. If,- however, there should be a long war, involving England and Russia, the result both to Europe and Asia may be something not possible now to forecast.

It Is encouraging to hear from the lips of the man himself, that Debs has learned the error of his ways. We commend to our retail merchants the example of L. S. Ayres & Co., who announce that this month their store will be closed every Saturday afternoon at 1 o’clock. The custom ought to become universal during the heated term. There is no commercial need for open stores on Saturday afternoons during July or August. In large cities this is recognized. Indianapolis fat getting to be large enough to recognize it. We trust that the movement will spread.

Bicyclers by relays are to carry a message from Washington to Governor Waite—an appropriate And altogether fitting method of communicating to His Wheels of Colorado.

The next best thing to a good city Is a good city well governed—Indeed, the two things are inseparable. ,Just now Chicago people are considering the assertion of their own real estate men that between one and two millions of capital have been withdrawn by Eastern investors since the strike, because the intending Investors were not satisfied with the action of the local officers in stopping the rioting which attended the recent strikes. Coxey’s petitioners In boots are out of shoes. Mr. Debs declares he will never be connected with another strike organization. That may be true, for the action of Debs is likely to be confined, if jusUce Is done.

It would be hard luck for the people of Korea If the row between China and Japan shall be fought out entirely on her territory. The “Hermit Kingdom”’ would learn with sadness of the great world on the outside of her walled cities If half a dozen nations should crowd their armies upon her territory.

It is time that the gold *vhich went abroad early in the season was returning from its vacation.

Ex-Governor Boies’s sentiments are In refreshing contrast to the utterances of several other prominent men west of the Mississippi.

Maryland and New Jersey Democrats are talking now to Gorman and Smith with a plainness and emphasis of speech to which these worthy statesmen are not used. Ohio Democrats might do well to say something to Brice. But some way, Ohio has never taken much interest in Brice as Senator. It is not proud of

him; It only half feels that he represents Ohio. The country never took Brice seriously. He Is so openly a Jobber, so plainly a “business Senator” that It 1» difficult to think of him as a statesman { or legislator. But he is In the “combine,” and he has a vote!

The statements about natural gas, which are contained in the State inspector’s report, printed elsewhere in this edition of The News, will have the most serious attention, and they should have the greatest consideration. According to Mr. Jordan, the inspector, who has spent a year investigating the problems connected with the use of natural gas, there has been for years a great and criminal waste of the fuel.

$20,000,000. The report finds that $300,000,000 has been invested in Indiana. This investment is primarily dependent upon the gas supply. It seems manifest that few measures would be too drastic to stsp a waste 'on which so great an investment depends. The waste in domestic consumption and the waste by bad plumbing—the riotous use of gas in kitchens and living-rooms and the leakage on the pipe-lines—has more than equaled the consumption of the factories. Mr. Jordan estimates that 50 per cent, of gas is now consumed for domestic purposes more than is needed. Wasteful methods are constantly depleting the supply at that rate. For one remedy, the inspector urges that gas be sold by meter measure, and that legislation to this effect be enacted. For another,, he urges that its use be prohibited by certain classes of factories. The report goes on to predict that the people who now reach the gas belt will never return to solid fuel, but that the waste of coal mines will be converted into gas and distributed In place of the natural product when this shall fail. We commend this report to a full and careful reading.

The reconsideration by the school board of the proposition to purchase the Ricketts property was not made at the special meeting, but will occur at the regular meeting to-morrow night. Public sentiment in this matter has been demonstrated beyond cavil. The press of the city, English and German, is against it. and this but reflects the great preponderance of the sentiment in the community. To go further into debt to the amount of $120,000 for ground alone is a thing that meets the disapproval of tax-payers. When it is for ground that is not needed this disapproval merges into hostility. Crediting the board with the best of intentions and the truest of motives, we submit that it has been shown beyond successful contradiction that the creation * of a new debt of $120,000 for ground alone, this to be followed by Store debt for the building, is wasteful extravagance. All of the space needed for a high school for generations is af-^ forded by the giound now owned by the' city. For the amount to be paid in interest on the present propositions the hlghrchool property could be enlarged and in proved in appearance as well as facilities. The time has come when the policy of debt-making in this community should give way to the policy of debtpoy.ng. We have been eaten up with interest for the benefit of bondholders and brokers. Interest made the Sellers farm cost us twice over the amount of the principal, and we are here faced with a preposition to pay dollar for dollar In interest the first cost of this property for which there is no need in any rightful and economical consideration of the High School's future. Putting aside every unpleasant feature which has marked this Ricketts episode, we beg the members of the board to realize that this is the people’s business, that they are the agents of the people, and that when the principal expresses his desire, the agent is bound to follow ir. The principal—the people—in this case'has very fully made known his desire. It la that this proposition shall be negatived.

The Board of School Commissioners met last evening in special session to receive bids for the erecting of the new school buildings ordered by the board. The bids were made upon plans and specifications furnished by A. Scherrer, architect. The following bids were opened and read; Capitol avenue and Twentieth street, an eight-room brick house—Saliabury & Stanley, $2&,8S8; William Kress, $30,930; William Kattau, $30,030; Louis F.

Shover. $17,400. Mr. Roth moved that the bids be referred to the committee on buildings and grounds, with instructions to report at the next meeting. Mr. Hendrickson — Do we expect the committee to pass on these bids as they stand, or will they offer suggestions for changes? President Martlndale—The plans were adopted by a vote of the board and the committee would have no authority to make any changes. If any changes are made it will require a readvertlsement for bids. Mr. Hendrickson—We are led to believe by reason of the stringency of the times that these buildings would be less in price. Buildings as good as these which run from $17,000 to $20,000 have been erected for $8,000. There is no question but the amounts asked are extravagant. I am satisfied that at least from $10,000 to $12,000 can be taken off the Capitol avenue building and not interfere with its strength or utility. Quartered oak doesn’t add to the appearance of the building and does add greatly to the expense. Here’s a wainscoting of glazed brick at $80 a thousand, which Is unnecessary, and iron-work costing $2,000. The specifications call for iron stairs, build ini

only $8,000. Mr. Roth—If there is a school building in Indianapolis erected at $8,000 that Is fit to hold school in I would like to see ItThe bids were referred to the committee. , A Mr. Appel called up his motion to reconsider the action of the board in ordering the purchase of the Ricketts property. He explained that he called it up to avail himself of the provision of the rule which specified that such motions must be introduced at the next meeting following the written notice. Mr. Blackledge argued that the motion to reconsider must be taken up at a regular "pYesiSent Martlndale ruled that the motion should -be considered at the regular meeting to be held on next Friday night.

The Umbrella Trust Gone Up. A Big Flurry Here To-flor-row.
