What Did Governor Fielder Intend
to 1)0?
Governor Jamih V. I'mniR of New
Jersey lias lately devoted it f ruction
of his Intcllecttml processes to tin
labor disturbances In ltiiyonne. In
the course of Ills consideration of the
subject It occurred to him Hint lia
was better qualified than the Stand
ard Oil Company a corporation ab
horrent to nuy politician of Mr. I'ii.ld
kb's calibre to conduct Its affair.
He sucsested tliat bis Judgment be
substituted for that of the company'
managers. Ills propositi was prompt
ly rejected. Thereupon:
XSovernor Kieujer told Mr. Heuporii
the rfpreientatlve of the company that
h positively would Rive the company
no military aid or assistance of any
kind ao long a.i It maintained Its present
attitude.
"He'sald that no mllltla would be .en:
to Bayonne now unless the protection
of lives and property necessitated :t.
and that the plea of Us effect upon thr
mob could not Influence him."
IVr no purpose except tbe protec
tion of life and property N any Cov
entor empowered to ue the military
force under his command lit nuy com
muiiliy. Old Governor 1'ii.lui:k In
tend, bait bis Intrusion Into tbe affair
of tbe Siandanl Oil Company been
welcomed, to order the State troop
Into the service of that concern? Did
he have It lu mind, as a reward for
Ills Inclusion Mu the councils of t he
company, to constitute the uniformed
uillllla an adjunct to Its system of
private suardsV Was he bar'alnlit'4
with the company's dirts-tors to turn
titer the National Guard to It. If they
saw tit to enroll him anions Its trusted
Milinrdluntc?
If these questions are answered In
the negative, what Is Governor 1'u.i.u
IB talking about? Ills obligation to
enforce the Inns, to protect life and
property. Is not to tbe Standard oil
Company. It Is not t'o contented or
discontented employees of that or any
other concern. Ills obligation Is to
tbe people .of the State, the iitnte
itself. It In not conditioned on wage
Hoales, hours of employment, the anil
Ability or hruskness of Individuals, or
nny circumstance not set forth In the
laws of the State or covered by his
oath of office.
Governor Frri.nrn should Inform
hlmelf on the dutlen and responsl
bllltles of tbe office he occupies. Mu
is obviously and greatly in need of
Instruction therein.
If 000,000 Men Strike.
If six, or 000, or iKxi.OWi union or
non-union -workmen quit -work In the
hone of being reemployed nt higher
wages or under pica sail ter conditions,
they exercise their right.
When they have left their benches,
other men are nt jierfert liberty to
tteek the Jobs they have deserted, and
no ludiiiduitl has the right to re
strain those willing to work by force
or the threat of force.
No man who quits, no man who
M'eks work, no employer of labor ac
quires by his voluntary or Involun
lary act lu these circumstances a
license to create disorder, to destroy
property, to Indulge In riots. If nny
ittlenipts a breach of the jieace, the
public authorities must suppress the
law breaker.
The country Is thre.ileneil to-day
villi a great strike of inachlnlsis and
others engaged lu a single Industry.
1'erhaps it may Ih averted. If It h
lint. It Is well that the legal status of
every Individual affected by It should
be umlorsiood from the beginning, lu
order ibat false notions shall not be
enlertalned as to extraordinary pow
ers and privilege ome nf them may
etlpIHise they possess.

Where Blame for the Kastland Lies.
I Should Hie allegations that III"
steamship Kastland was luiroerly

i tallied, It would be a ghastly travesty
of Justice to hold rownslblo for the
Chicago disaster only the commander,
who iHTinlttcd her legal passenger
carrying rapacity to lie exceeded, or
the company which employs him. Thr
major portion of thr blame would rest
on those otllclnls. I'ederal. Stale and
local, who allowed the ship to remain
In tbe excursion trade, and who-o cer
tlllcales of Inspection ere permits
to her owners to operate her.
If the Kastland was a "hoodco"
ship, surely no mystery veils the origin
of Ihe evil Inlluetice that followed
her. Wherever she was known on
the lake, she was notorious for her
topheavlness. Iler lack of stablllt.t
j had been shown on frequent occasions.
Tbe otllclnls who examined her must
have detected her faults when they
surveyed her hull and suiierstructure:
otherwise they were grossly lticonio
teiit. Kven though they failed In tech
nical knowledge, they scarcely mil
have lieen deaf to the reports her dem
onstrated unfitness kept In circula
tion on the waterfront.
When tbe General SIihmiiii burned

The .Mayflower .Mystery.
Among the most curious problems
of multiplication I the lutiuuierablo
multitude sprung from the loins of
the Mayllower. There were but HJ

on ihe passenger list of that Pilgrim
Ark. A stern and rockhouud climate,
lusutlicleiit food, privations of many
kinds, cut down swiftly I lie first sa
cred load of founders; but what sur
vived Increased Incredibly. The his
torian or poets of weddings habitu
ally toll us that ihe bride Is "de

that came oter In the MayUower."
frequently the bridegroom Is of the
same hardy undent stock: humble
folks made Illustrious by the Illusion
of time and the vanliy of their pros
IM'ions jKisterity.
Tims a Inrge part of tbe native pop
ulation bears In Its hand the sym
Isillc mayllower and gazes lu all pride
on Plymouth Hock ami Puddle Dock:
and the Mayflower mystery or mir
acle Is made even more incomprehen

country. Ktcr since the beginning of
tbe war the newspaKrs have been

some of them are still unsophisticated
enough to print letters from persons
who assert that they are of "pur

.Moving Stars.
The nugilih of the t heat re man
agers wiui are powerless to arrest
the secession of their actors must ex
cite the sympathy of every observer
of their grief. Just it the hansom
driver saw ids occupation suddenly
erased with the arrival of tbe taxi, so
tbe theatre manager Is a victim of the
triumph of science over nature.
We shall pity, therefore, the sor
rows of tbe poor Impresario. As to
Ihe artistic tragedy which has over
come the theatre, there may be more
than one view. Ik-fore it Is xifblr
to admit that the drama ha suffered
a fearful blow Ju-t lecuiic till ac
tress or that has elected to stand In!
front of a camera Instead of behind I
tbe footlights. It might ho worth while!
to decide what this gifted person
could accomplish on the singe which
cannot he exhibited on the screen.
Some of the preHindcratlng figures,
of the (llama In an earlier day arc
altogether Inconceivable as mere char- j
aclers iu a picture play. Itut the,
situation is different now. Serious
artistic achievement 1 not a vital part
of the life of the theatre.
So the managers may arouse our
sympathy, hut on them lies the bur-
den of proof that there is In the pic-'
lure theatre any less artistic achieve
ment than our shiI,cu drama offers.
Moreover, there should be encourage
ment for them In (lie fact that It takes
only a season or two to erfect a .
"star" nowadays, when the physical
gift are present. Kven If their "star-."
do desert them in a hod.v. it should
be easy for the managers to develop'
another supply.
Itefore the public Is asked to Join1
In deploring the calamity which the
theatre has suffered by the flight of;
actresses to tho minora, it will be

a new source of probable Infection
hi the common drinking cup in public
place, ami have Issued rcgulatluii
for il abolition. That there is
nothing new- under the sun Is again
demonstrated by the historical fact
Ihal In the fourteenth century the
Catholic Church found itself compelled
to abolish the communion cup because
cases of the plague had been clearly
traced to It.
The first scientific discovery ami
explanation of the transmission nf
disease by the rims of drinking ves
sels was puhllidied lu the transactions
of the Pathological Society of Itoches
ter, N. Y for 1MH. before which
Dr. foiiiu.s presented microscopic
evldeiicu of the conveyance of diph
theria to twenty-four families from
one cup. Tubercle bacilli have also
been found III the dregs of a com
munion cup. Two years ago tlie'lnb
oratory of tho Chicago Health De
partment cultivated germs of pneu
monia, diphtheria mid pus from the
II ii Id adhering to the rim of cups
that had been used in railway sta
tions, schools mid department stores.
These and many oilier observations
I moved General litriiii lli.i'K of the

to Issue an order for the abolition of
I the common drinking cup In Inter

does not diminish Iml rather In

It may be noticed that It I the prac

JAPAN'S BLOOD.
rh)slra1 Characteristics Thai Throw
Light on the Origin of the Hare.
To the P.DiTon or The Si n Mr: In
bl artlclei In The Sin of July 4
H.vmuel W. Pennyparkcr. ex-Govcrnnr
of Pennsylvania. ;,:
"In the present orgy of war tbe most
wicked event which has occurred Is not
the assassination of the Grand Duke
of Austria and bis wife or tin over
running of Helglum or the Injury to
cathediats or the dropping of exptn.
eilv ej bombs upon ipiiet Inwiis Ihe docs
not mention the sinking of the Lusl
tattl.t, but the fact that England. In
the hope to suppress a rival, has turned
loose the Mongol, with all that this
fact means In the future of the woild,
Tne brunt of the evil comttciuoares
will fall not on Germany but on
America. And the next most wicked
event was the agreement Kngland nimbi
with Japan that she would not cease
to light until Japan should bn s.itlslled. '
from the context I assume that Mr.
Penny packer In using the term "Mon
gol" refers to the Japanese lace.
As a matter of fact the Japanese
are not pure Mongols, They may pos.
scss a llltle Chinese blood Inasa ucb
as a colony of Chinese anciently settled
In Japan. Originally the aborigines of
Nippon wcie- driven north by nn eippos
ing race which advanced fiom some
part of the south; and these latter
peoples aie the true aliceslois of the.
Japanese, It Is all established fact
that the Malay race, sb.v, reserved and
Impassive, la reptes-nted lu the Japa
nese blood, and also the black savage
raie of Papua or New Guinea, sociable
and demonstrative. Coieans, too, may
be represented, fiom th ptoplmiulty
nf the linrij. Kthnologlsts disagree,
both as tu the origin of the race ami
as to the origin and classification of
the Indigenous race. The Japanese Is
a composite race.
There have been many classification
of taces, Hlumenhach's five divisions
were; Caucasian, Mongolian, Ktliloplau,
American. .Malay. Cuvlet's classifica
tion was. Caucasian, Mongol, Negro:
white, xellou' and black. The ancient
classification was .' Semitic, Hamltb.
Japhetic, Huxley nrranxes the n.ce
as. Atistrallold. Nee. old. Mongoloid,
Xanthochrolc and Melaiiochrolc.
The Mongoloids are short, squat built,
with a yellowish brown complexion,
black stialght hair and a b.-onl
Oirachvccphatlc) skull without pioml
nent brow ridges, small Hat nose and
oblique eyes. The Chines and Japa
nese at dolichocephalic, In other ie
specls they correspond tei the .Mon
goloid:. A criterion for the distinction of rac
may be found In the color of the skin
and tu the conformation of the skull:
the principles employed by Ketzlna
The prognathous have projecting Jaws;
the orthognathous have non-projecting
Jaws. Thu mesoceplullc or inesatlceph
nllc show a medium ratio of the length
to the breadth of the cranium, being ne
ther brachycphallc nor dolichocephalic,
but Intermediate.
It nppears also that the Japanese and
Aryan languages bad a co-union ances
tor; and the Japanese tongue has no
affinity with any other Asiatic language,
but stands by Itself.
It seems to me, therefore, that we
can haidly speak of the Jaisuiese as
Mongols : but rather us a class by
themselves. , i-'mcndi.t Ckitic.

"EXPLOITED" LABOR.
Some Considerations of Personal In
terct Overlooked by Theorists.
To the Kpitoii or The Sun sir: With
socialists there Is no "Joint product," It
Is all the product of Inbor. Capital pio
eluces nothing, but the value It lo-e-s n
production Is a proper charge against tne
product, even according tn the socialt-t
theory, because it only replaces the "ile
preclatlon of capital,"
So the fact. If It Is a fait, that half
the product or more goes to capital
diies not prove that labor eloes not get
all It produces. A large plant running
short handed may not produce enough
so that the total value of the product
will septal the depreclatlem ehaigc. When
there is a steat amount f capital
operated by a few worliets the deprecia
tion charge could be ten times the wages
of the operatives and it would uoi -how
a particle, nf exploitation . that Is. cap -tal
ce.uld get ten times as much as Hbnr
and .vet labor get Its due
Is It conceivable that ir a manufac
turer could buy labor for as low as ten
cents a day he could sl! It to the shrewd
and wealth merchant for ,10 eent. t
