SABLE'S IDEAS ABOUT ARBITRA
TION. Peace talk In Philadelphia has now
reached a stage that challenges atten
tion. Some of the Rapid Transit com
pany officials sot to the point yester
day where they could meet with some
of the labor leaders and discuss the
Impossibility of arbitration. The lat
est development was due. according to
one Version, to brokers who say they
will decline to further hold up Rapid
Transit company stock unless the
company and the men got together
within a reasonable length of time.
Even the implacable George If. Earle,
the city's man on the board of direc
tors for the company, and the man
who. more than any other, has put
tight into the company, was present
during the conference. Earle lias
been an interesting figure in this Phil
adelphia disturbance, and if Phila
delphia and the Transit company
should ultimately win it will lie an
Earle victory. Following the peace
movement inaugurated by the minis
ters Earle gave for publication an in
terview which solidified the opposi
tion to the striking car men. and, as
it doubtless expressed the sentiments
of capital as against labor organised
for strike purposes, it is interesting.
Earlo said:
"For myself I want to say with the
utmost ilefiniteneis that there are
some questions that T will never con
sent to arbitrate, and that 1 believe
that any community that does so is
n the liiU road to ruin.
"I shall -not arbitrate whether I o
y fellow man shall be live or in anj
Sense slaves. This country tried tha
for over half a century as to lila
men and then fought, and fough
more disastrously than if It had been
fought at once. All forms of arbitra
tion and compromise ultimately fail
tor men most he either free or slaves
They must have the right to decMt
"(r themselves, or that right must hi
transferred to their masters. Again
lor the sake of some f am glad to
say only some of my clerical friends
I won't arbitrate whether I am to he a
Christian, a Mohammedan or a Jew
"And It must be remembered that
God gave men free wills with which
to choose, and so free choice, long he
foro He gave them any of thesi
llgions; so that He could scarcely have
designed that they should arbitrate
away the one any more than the
other. Both are sacred, inalienable
rights. Liberty, virtue, duty, all that
emanates from the Creator and is due
to Him. cannot be bartered for, com
promised or arbitrated about; it may
involve liinrtvnlom or trinmnti ,1. illi
Offering, despair or hipiness, but it
BHist he abided h.
! .;"liut. forth I ask mv fellow citi
sens to- consiar. Is this Detroit union
demonstrating Its fitness solely to con
tro! this city, these thousands of men
ur politics, for they enter all fields?
Xet us see:
"Is it moral to break contracts? Is
H lawful? And if unlawful and Im
tnoral should a groat city, a great
union he controlled liv men who at
tempt to accomplish the enslavement
of others by a huge combination to
procure that which Is immoral and
unlawful as a threat to compel men
to do what the law does not require?
what is that legally, anyhow?
"I want to ask as a city director
have I any right to turn the ultimate
control of its chief transit facilities
over to men who announce that
plighted word, sacred contract, must
be trampled on if It hut aid them in
their purpose of depriving their fel
lows of the God given right of free
wins i ne oisposiuon ot their own
earnings?
"Am I an enemy of unionism when
I maintain that it Is misrepresented,
belled, by any one who uses such
weapons in its name, by any one who
would enslave thousands of men and
make it the enemy of freedom whose
earliest fight was for freedom; that it
cannot exist without widespread dis
order and constant strikes and vio
lsnce?
"I say this Is all atrocious and no
more represents the true spirit of or
ganized labor as It will ultimately
triumph than it represents the true
religions of the gentlemen who, for
temporary peace, would arbitrate
away a substantial part of human
liberty.
"I have longed to see some great
labor leader and I believe there art
many such raise his authoritative
voice against all this travesty upon
his noble cause and principles. Or
ganisation of labor has too many real
Justification to. when properly con
ducted, need cither violence, tyranny
or breach of faith or slavery as Its
and what has . ocouraf ed me
most has lieen that this Is understood
by so many all over the rountry. for
while I have received but a single
signed letter criticising my course I
haw been so deluged with those
thanking m that I have not been able
eves suitably to acknowledge them.
Whatever else I have learned from
,hllb.f strove' 1 at least now know
i nsss at of Americans still
realise the value of their liberty, and
that which is essential to its preserva
tion. "This is all I will contend for in
this matter. I do not speak for any
one but myself, but from the begin
ning my deep and deepest interest has
i sen In Philadelphia, Philadelphlans
and their freedom; and next in inter
est has been my desire that unwise
and arbitrary leadership may not per
vert organized labor from the great
good of which it is capable.
"But still above everything IB Amer
ican liberty, for I so believe in tffat
that T can find no good in any move
ment that finds it esesntial to subVert
any part of it."
Now the question Is: will Mr. Earle,
after the deeps of hie soul have been
stirred after this manner, consent to
hold converse with the labor leaders,
and talk peace where he says there Is
no peace?
COMMON SENSE AND EDUCATION
In a letter written last week on the
subject of immigration legislation Dr.
Charles W. Eliot said: "It is not
clear that education Increases much
the amount of common sense that na
ture gave the Individual." The genial
doctor has canvassed the whole sub
ject of education, is familiar with all
the practice, theory and history of It,
and that Is one of his conclusions.
A series of definitions of common
sense is given by Sir W. Hamilton, the
logician:
"The complement of those cogni
tions or convictions which we receive
from nature, which all men possess
in common, and by which they test
the truth of knowledge and the mor
ality of actions."
"The faculty of first principles'.'
"Such ordinary complement of Intel
ligence, that if a person be deficient
therein, he Is accounted mad, or fool
ish." "Native practical intelligence, nat
ural prudence, mother wit, tact In be
havior, aeuteness in the observation
of character, in contrast to habits of
acquired learning or speculation."
Taken in its primary sense, accord
ing to Dr. Eliot's dictum, common
sense is, then, a matter of birth. We
may say of the man who has com
mon sense that lie is very well born,
indeed; of him who is deficient In it to a
degree, that he Is so ill born that it is
doubtful whether it was worth while.
Just a matter of being born with a
set of good and well-balanced facul
ties, and of being fortunate enough to
retain them, un'mpalred. And Dr.
Eliot, whose opinion on the subject
ought certainly to be of value, doubts
if education can increase this quality.
Is education, then, lacking and ma
terial or practical value? Is it to be
expected to do no more than develop
the moral nature and the love and
perception of the beautiful; to have
no more, than an ethical and esthetic
value? By no means. Proper educa
tion is highly utilitarian. A good ar
tisan Is necessarily an educated arti
san. A good musician Is necessarily
an educated musician. A good teach
er, writer, lecture, blacksmith or
draughtsman is necessarily educated
in his business; and yet any of these
may be deticient in that quality of
"common sense". By educating arti
sans and laborers in every field the
productiveness of the workers is in
creased, they are enabled to do more
for society and perhaps to receive
larger return tor their services.
CONCERNING SLEEP.
Happy are the people who can drop
down upon a couch in the middle of
the day and just "lose themselves" for
live or ten minutes. A celebrated alien
ist says that "the normal man can
sleep at any time and in any place."
A few people eminent in history have
had a genius for sleeping. De Les
seps, of Panama canal fame, is said
to have slept 20 hours out of the 24
on the steamer, during his trips back
and forth between Panama and
France. The wise old man would,
upon these sea voyages, lay in a store
of sleep to be called Into requisition
in the days of pressure and insistent
demand. Many great generals, Ma
poleon, "Stonewall" Jackson, Ulysses
Grant, could sleep whenever the exi
gencies of fie: l and camp would al
low. To be able thus to relax and
yield at will to "nature's sweet re
storer, balmy sleep," indicates a well-
balanced nervous and mental make
up and a will strong enough to con
trol the thoughts, banishing all worry
and unpleasantness.
This gift can, be largely cultivated;
pure reason tens us that worry does
no good and omits us to cope with
the very thing we are worrying
about Any otie can learn to relax
and consciously woo sleep. In the
exhilirating air of the mountains, in
and around Asheville, some nervous
people assert that they can spend but
few hours , rni sleep. If Questioned.
these people admit that they feel bet
ter and ce"n do moie work with five
hours slerp here, than with nine In
Michigan, Ohio or Pennsylvania, as
he case may be. The stimulus of
the air 'takes the place of restorative
sleep. How this works out In the
long rnn has not been reported upon.
Whether the people whose working J
hoi-.rs are extended and hours of rest
shortened by our mountain ozone,
wear out faster, or whether tney live
as long and in as good health as the
Id fashioned sleepers .who take from
10 to 12 hours nightly, is a question
that it would be Interesting to have
i uthoritatively answered. If we look
t the mountaineers for a demonstra
tion we are consoled by the fact that
they, as a race, are fine examples of
longevity. There Is much real wls
lom In the philosophy - of Mother
Goose, and, as children, we learned
SKIN SUFFERERS'
DOUBT IS REMOVED
Many eczema sufferers have failed
so utterly with salves and other "dis
coveries" that even the assurance of
the best physician or druggist cannot
induce them to invest another dollar
in any remedy.
It is to these discouraged sufferers
in particular that we now offer, at
only 25 ceuts, a trial bottle of the
accepted standard eczema remedy, a
simple wash of oil of wintergreen,
thymol and glycerine, as compound
ed In D. D. D. Prescription.

us and we know you can prove In

THE BALANCE OF TRADE IN HEN
DERSON.
The statement made by Mr. A. Can
non of Horse Shoe, Henderson county,
on the occasion of the seed corn meet
ing at Dana Saturday, that the balance
of trade is all wrong in his county, and
that the people of Henderson have
bought $300,000 worth of produce the
past yeat that could have been raised
at home, is worthy of very careful and
continuous thought. The figures seem
large, but In all probability the esti
mate is conservative, and It would be
interesting to know how this conclu
sion Is arrived at, and what are some
of the principal Importations.
There is not the least doubt, how
ever, that Henderson could easily be
come self supporting, In the way of
producing sufficient food for man and
beast. Buncombe could do the same,
and in saying this we are not unmind
ful of the fact that Asheville com
prises a large market.
Now Congressman Pou Is all put out
because Standi at Smithfield wished
to employ his law firm to look after
his interests while under fire in that
postofflco matter. Somebody, he
thinks, has tried to bribe him, and he
is as badly torn up over the situation
as was Congressman Grant, when
"approached." So many temptations
are thrown in the way of statesmen
that it is little wonder one Is found
now and then with eye fixed on the
main chance. It's awful.

the strike order to locomotive tire

The threatened strike of firemen

roads was the principal topic in the
morning stock market. Railroad
shares immediately affected were
weakest, but the whole list declined
with some violence. Professional op

and recent support was withdrawn.
A hardening money market acted as
a discouragement to purchase stocks.
