The Washington Post notes figures that show how disastrous the recent Philadelphia strike of the car men really was. It says: 'The recent Prlladelphia street rail road strike cost those concerned $14, 012,000, all a material loss, besides the lives sacrificed and the numerous cripples made, many of whom will be a charge on their friends or on pub lic charity the remaining days of their lives. "The waste and from the stand point of political economy all waste is profligacy Is thus distributed, ac cording to a respectable and conserva tive computation: The active strikers, $412,000 in wages; the transit com pany, $1,400,000 In Income; the sym pathetic strikers, $2,200,000 in wages, and their employers, $2,000,000. And to that immt..oj loss must be added the $8,000,000 that the ordinary busi ness of Philadelphia, from banking to shoestring peddling, suffered because of that strike, that ought to have been settled without the shedding of one drop of blood, the breaking of a single bone, or the loss of $1000. "Thus is Industrial war as ruinous as commercial war; and it vies with famine, pestilence, the earthquake's hock, the volcano's vomit, the tidal wave's remorseless invasion, the drought's brazen skies, and the flood's Ingulfing embraces to bring disaster on the community. "That Philadelphia strike brought no material benefit to any single hu man being; but it brought sorrow and disaster to thousands. It established anarchy and military rule where there had been order and peace. There were arson and murder, and society- was between the mob on the one side and the military on the other. "What was it all about? Only little thing of wage, that the ordinary exercise of the plainest precepts of common justice could have composed in 15 minutes. There is one sublime truth that this country has yet to learn, and that is this: Capital and labor are partners, and they should be, and must be, friends. "Let Justice prevail, and wage and dividend will automatically adjust themselves to the satisfaction of both and to the benefit of the public." It does seem that this Btrlke failed utterly to serve any good purpose. At Its conclusion It was not peace that was declared, but a sort of armed truce. Tht men gained only minor concessions, and In all probability the men of this generation, in charge of the cars of the Rapid Transit com pany, will not make the difference be tween the fearful losses they have sustained while Idle, and the little In crease they got by "'ay of a compro mise. One of these days the Rapid Transit company will resort to some high financing which will result In re couping their losses. A little bond Juggling, for example, would turn the trick, or a little stock watering that might easily be accomplished under the complaisant sanction of the men identified with the official life of Phil adelphia. During the late unpleasant ness these city officials made not the least pretense of concealing their hos tility toward the striking car men, , and it was George II. Earle, the city representative on the board of direc tors) of the Transit company, who stood out longest against any step . looking toward a compromise. n the ery inception of the trouble It was realized that there could not be wag ed, to any logical conclusion, a fight for principle. Politics could not for a moment be lost sight of, for both ides had the realizing sense of the fact that the political leaders of the renrose organization might at any time return from Florida, where they went when the storm clouds began to father, and put an end to the strife without anything having been settled. And, in point of fact, this is pretty much what happened. Penrose him self entered the breach at a critical Juncture and, backed by the banking house and trust companies and de partment stores, whence he derives his strength, declared there must be at - least a temporary 1 cessation of hostilities. 4 Perhaps there has never before been a strike in which the loss haa been so great, and the gain to all concerned ao small. f WHAT IS MoNIXCH? Republicans of the Ninth district, 1n convention assembled at 8 he I by, nom - Inated 8. B. McNInch for Congress. The Republican, or mountain coun ties, it la aald, did not assert them seTves, We had assumed, when, this announcement was made, that Mr, McNInch had accepted this nomina tion aa a Republican,' but at the pres ent iribment this point does not seem entirely clear. Tjhe whole affair ap pears to Mr. McNInch as something very sudden. He gave this statement to the press: "I said to my friends. Republicans and Democrats, many of whom had offered their support, that I had de cided not to be a candidate. I meant it and have been sincere, but since the matter has gotten in the present shape I must give it my serious con sideration. I do not know what I shall do. In the mean time I must ask the Indulgence of my friends, par ticularly those of the convention who have thus honored me." One gathers from the foregoing that Mr. McNInch, some time ago the Democratic mayor of Charlotte, ex pects to get about as much support from the Democrats as from Republi can sources. All of which seems a bit singular, If Mr. McNInch Is to ac cept the nomination as a straight Re publican. It is not claimed, as we understand it, that there has been anything in the conduct of Congress man Yates Webb that would lead to, or warrant, any appreciable Demo cratic defection. We may be wholly mistaken in this, but we have somehow got the idea hat Mr. McNInch Is one of those Re publicans, if he has got to the point of admitting his affiliation with that party in State matters, who would take the first train to Washington the day after his election, along with John Motley Morehead, and use the prominence acquired through Republ llean support, to push along the Im pression In Washington that the only way to build up a respectable Repub lican party In the South In general, and in North Carolina In particular, is to kill off all the old time Republicans who had the hardihood to acknowll edge their Republicanism at a period when to do so was not popular. THE DUST THAT WAS A KING. CHANGE IN NAME' OF CHURCH , IS FAVORED BY MAJORITY A great deal of funeral pomp and pageantry is concluded today with the committing to the dust whence it came of the body of Edward VII., who was King of Great Britain and Ireland and Emperor of India, as well as a great many other things; and Is now clay. He Is buried In the love of a nation, and we wonder why. He was the first born of loving parents, and the chil dren of love are happy children, Hence wc suppose he must have gen uinely loved humanity, and especially his own people. All testimony Is to the effect that to know this royal man for you cannot call any member of the European royalty an Englishman a Gtrman, a Spaniurd was to love him. He was a man of many follies and of much wisdom. Can we as a nation claim higher moral standards and pro duce better proofs than the people of our mother country? We would not tolerate In our chief magistrates even a little of the folly of Edward. They permitted him pomp and folly, and refused him power. We allow our Presidents such power as they may take, and insist merely upon circum spection. We do not love them, es- lL'ially, for we do not know them very well. We permit them a brief period upon the center of the stage, and then we put forward another. If they are very, very clever, like Roose velt, we are stirred to a degree of en thusiasm. But in Britain the sovereign Is the sovereign, so long as he shall live. His life belongs to the people. He is one of the family. The head of our gov ernment is a citizen, a hired man do ing temporary service. It is wonderful, the way this man was loved by his people. He was ex pected to be exceedingly wise in coun sel, and the knowledge that a nation depended upon his tact, his states- nini.Miip, his ability, in a grave pollti cal crisis, probably hastened his end. we wonaer whether George can ever win this place In his people's love and trust. Hs has what should be called the better equipment, from a moral point of view. He is In many ways his father's opposite. He is not Interested in sport, of which Edward was a devotee, and which he did much to render honest. There is only one rumor of scandal In his life, whereas Edward waa a gay prince, and at the same time powerfully Influential In the divorcing of respectability from vice. George Is almost a Puritan In his habits. He has a mind of his own, and Is able to speak It He looks like his unhappy cousin, Nicholas of Rus sia. .Continued from Page One. elation Dr. Detwller said he was some what embarrassed. A cane, he said, was either for a weapon of defense, for- a lame or old man or for orna ment. "I never put on style," said Dr. Detwller, "and have no enemies. and I lit) as young as any bishop on the platform. I shall put this cane in my study and will conjure with it I shall recall the many happy re membrances and faces xf this con ference." On behalf or" the Metho dists of Asheville, the city and the board of trade. Dr. Detwller extended an invitation for the next conference In 1914. 'The more we see of you," he said, - "the better we like you, and we hope your committee will again decide to come here. At the proper time Capt W. T. Weavec will appear before your committee and discuss the matter." When consideration of that section of the committee on revisals' report which related to Infant baptism was begun there was considerable discussion on some slight changes. The committee's report, which amounts to a slight change in 4he phraseology, was adopted. Rev. J. G. Simon, D. D., fraternal delegate from tho Wesleyan Metho dist church of England, in words of appreciation, and brotherly love, thanked the conference for the kind treatment he had received at the hands of the conference and local committee. Bishop Denny replied that all that are of English blood are proud of England, and "glad our church is a daughter of the Methodist church of that country." He said that every thing affecting England greatly inter ested the Americans, and that the best of feeling existed. Thanking the conference for its kindness this morning, and asking for their support In the future. Bishop Denny surrendered the gavel to Bish op Kilgo. A number of leaves of ab sence were granted. Consideration of Aange of the name of the church to "The Metho dist church" provoked lively discus sion. The majority report of the committee on revisals was in favor of the change while the minority report was against any change. Col. N. E. Harris of Georgia made a speech against the change. He de clared that they should never h ashamed of the word "south." D. H. Lincbaugh of Oklahoma spoke in favor of the change. He said "there is no north, south, eaot or west." He declared that the word "south" kept alive sectionalism; the church was doing its part to keep this up. He said he was a southerner, born in Tenessee. and loved the south, but if they were In the west they would know how tlvs name hampered them. Rev. Mr. Reed declared that it was not the name, but the stand which they took against the commercial spirit of the west that was the trou bl. He wanted no change, hut for them to go to work with renewed en ergy. iJohn R. Branch of Richmond was opposed to a change. Rev. J. J. N. Kenny of the Pacific conference wanted the name changed because, he declared that the work In the west was limited by reason of the word "south." He knew It kept 5000 Methodists in Seattle from at tending the church. Rev. E. W. Alderson of Texas stat ed that he was a southerner from head to foot, but he believed the name should be changed. The adjectives had about all been used up by the churches and "The Methodist church" a title simply lying around, should be adopted. The vote on the minority report against a change of name resulted In 83 for a change and 153 against. Con slderatlon of the majority report fav onng "The Methomst church ' was taken up. At this point a wrangle en sued as to whether it would take a two-thirds vote to refer this to the annual conferences The chair ruled that It would take a majority vote to refer it. An appeal was taken to the house and the chair was sustained The vote was then put and the vote on the majority report stood 154 for on the majority report stood 153 for and 83 against Members of Women's Council In compliance with the action of the conference in combining the mis sionary activities of the board of mis sion, the Woman's Home Mission so ciety and Woman's Foreign Mission society, the women of these two let ter organixntlons have selected their members of the woman's council which shall have charge of the wo man's department of the mission work. The council organized with the election of the- following officers: Miss Belle H. Bennett of Kentucky president: Mrs. Edward Grubbs of Kentucky, first vice-president: Mr John R. Nelson of Texas, second vice- president; Mrs. Lee Brltt of Nor folk, third vice-president; Mrs. HOI land McTylere of Nashville, fourth vice-president; Miss Daisy Davles of Atlanta, associate and field secretary: Miss Alice Cobb of Nashville, secre tary of the foreign department; Mrs. R. w. McDonnell of Nashville, secre tary of the home department; Miss Mabel Head, educational secretary; Mrs. A. L. Marshall, editorial secre tary. The assistant treasurer of the woman's department has not been de rided upon, but two ladles, one from Mississippi and one from North .Caro lina, are being considered.

Editor of The Gun tte-News: From reading r ur issue of the 19th, 1 conclude that few persons in this vicinity had tho good fortune to see the tail of Halley'g comet yester day morning. Rising at 3:30 a. m. to see If any thing out of the ordinary could be observed, I found that the moon had set, leaving the stars shining in In- linite numbers and great brlliancy, through a atmosphere, singularly clear and dry. , Klrst looking over head and to thewest, I saw no un usual display, as of meteors, or any thing to indicate that the earth was passing through the tail of the comet, and Indeed we now understand that tha tail had not yet come In contact with the earth: but In the east I saw a broad benm "f whito light, reach ing up from the horizon at an angle of about 45 dcurets. It began on the horizon near the point where the sun now rises, and stretched upward and southward until It met the Milky Way in the southern sky, at a point per haps five decrees below the bright star. Altair, thus stretching through an immense arc. - The beam tapered as it rose, and its' edges seemed to be straight and f.iirly well defined. In brilliancy It was far Inferior to the comet of 1X8::. but the sight was beautiful one and well worth some loss of sleep. The failure of other Asheville ob servers to mention this display may possibly be due to their supposing It to be merely the sodlacal light from which I am sure It differed strikingly, and which It exceeded greatly in bril liancy and sharpness of outline.
