FRIDAY, OCTOBER M. hm»t.
I>l \MOM> H T DIAMOND.
“Alls not gold tliat glitters." A
white man by the name of Diamond
v as recently called before his honor.
“Justice John," of Richmond. It
was the old story, which is as ancient
as domestic troubles, and was u most
harrowing one. The counterpart of
this “Diamond"’ had found that
while her husband was the genuine
(.article “in tin* rough," hut with
double emphasis on the “rough,"
and as an afternoon Richmond paper
said, she found that her husband
"was in fact a cobble stone." The
trouble arose over the cruel treat
ment by this jewel of high price to
his spouse, when the better-half be
gan to shed a lustre of her own,
which culminated in giving her
"Diamond in the rough a setting be
fore the celebrated court of justice
Crutchfield."
I he good wife brought a cluster
of ten little Diamonds to court with
her. It was a pitiful story —of pov
erty. cruel treatment :iml all that
tends to make life a hardship for
the woman.
■loe Diamond could not pay his
fine. In default, says the Richmond
News-Leader ‘ Joe was taken from
his setting and now appears as a
solitaire in the bosom of the city
sergeant, while the better-half, sur
rounded with chips, shines more re
splendency than ever."
Let’s not forget the moral to the
story. Humorous' as it is. it is
frought with misery, poverty and all
Hint makes life a failure Yea. a
thousand times worse than failure -
for the most precious heritage a
father can leave Is an honored name
—the memory of an upright life—
failing in this all else is naught. You
may be ambitious, you may be weal
thy, you may be of superior talent,
and you may bear a proud name, but
clean hands and a pure heart Is a
richer heritage by far than them all.

We would urge all who ran do so
to attend the Jamestown exposition.
October the 22d is Southwest Vir
ginia day. and the people of this sec
tion would do well to attend at that
time. Jamestown may not be so ex
tensive as some of the expositions
held heretofore, but it is certainly
the most interesting exposition ever
given, it is peculiarly historical and
educational. The exposition has
be**n unduly criticised, which was
<1tie largely to the tin prepared ness at
first, f* ;y now complete in every
way. an.! none hut the chronic bick
er can complain. A more beauti
ful spot could not have been chosen
for the exposition than Jamestown.

to permit ‘.otiie trivial cause or the

experienced miner to snuff It out In

mining regions of the state that too
much carelessness is permitted,
which, of course, is always res|>on~
sihle for the loss of life. This region
has been favored with but few. if
any. mine disasters, which can be at

1’ltOM ITTWM’S MONTHLY.
In an article contributed to the
October number of Putnam's Month
ly. Cardinal Oibbons expresses in
, strong terms lii.s disapproval of the
j boycott as practiced by labor unions,
and also urges the workingmen of
the country to avoid strikes, and
; intimidation in any form. The Car
dinal says;
i am persuaded that the system
of boycotting, by which members of
labor unions are instructed not to
patronize certain obnoxious business
houses, i» not only disapproved by
I an impartial public sentiment, hut
that it does not commend itself to
I the more thoughtful and conserva
tive portion of the guilds themselves
Every man is free indeed to select
the establishment with which ho
; wishes to deal, and In purchasing
from one in preference to another he
is not violating justice. Hut the
case is altered when, by a mandate
of the society, ho is debarred from
buying from a particular firm. Such
•a prohibition assails the liberty of
the purchaser and the rights of the
seller, and is an unwarrantable in
vasion of the commercial privileges
guaranteed by the government to
business concerns. If such a social
ostracism were generally in vogue, a
process of retaliation would natural
ly fallow, the current of mercantile
I Intercourse would be checked, every
center of population would be dlvld*
ed into hostile camps, and the good
reeling which ought to prevail in
every community would be seriously
impaired. “Live and let live,” 'is a
wise maxim, dictated alike by the
»w of trade and by Christian char
ity.
Experience has shown that strikes
are a drastic, and at best a very
questionable remedy for the redress
of the laborers’ grievances. They
paralyze industry, they often foment
fierce passions, and lead to the de
struction of property; and above a\>
they result in inflicting grievous in
jury on the laborer himself by keep
ing him in enforced idleness, during
which time his mind is clouded by
discontent while brooding over the
situation, and his family not infre
quently suffer from the want of the
necessities of life. The loss inflicted
by strikes on the employers is not
much more than half ns great as that
which is sustained by the employed,
who can much less afford to bear
It. ft would J>e a vast stride In the
Interest of the peace, and of the la
boring classes, if the policy of arbi
tration. which Is now gaining favor
for the settlement of International
quarrels, were also availed of for the
ad ustmenf of disputes between cap
ital and labor. Many blessings
would result from the adoption of
thi-; method; for while strikes, as the
name implies, are aggressive and do
sfruetive, arbitration is conciliatory
and constructive. The result In the
former caw is determined by the
weight of the purse, in the latter
bv the weight of argument.

IS NOT “MISTRESS”
PRESIDENT'S WIFE HAS FEW DM
TIES OR RESPONSIBILITIES.
Social Functions at the White House
Are in no Way Under Her Control
Does Not Even Select
Quests.
The death of Mrs. McKinley, apart
from 11 s painful pathetic circum
stances. had the social Interest that
is necessarily attached to a ladv who
whh once the "mistress of the White
House.”
This Is a phrase In very general use.
hut It has little If any of th»* slunltl
ranee usually attached to It In the
popular mind. The wife of the presi
dent of the 1’nlted States is unt the
mistress of the White House in the
sense that any other lady Is the mis- .
tress of her own home or the head of
Its social activities. Hhe has neither
the duties nor the responsibilities that
would he hers In private life, and she
does not concern herself at all with |
the social functions thut are the usual
lot of those less highly placed.
All these activities so far us the
White House is concerned, are so ar
ranged as to exclude all feminine lu- ;
fluence or control. They are placed dl j
rectly under the management of one 1
or more young officers of the army
and navy, who direct ull the social nut
chlneiv of the White House, anti the
reality and scope of tills direction
would he n surprise to a good many
who attach a real social mcaulng to
the position of "mistress of the White
House.” The wife of the president, i
for example, has nothing to do with
the selection of ordinary guests. This
Is a matter that Is left entirely to the
discretion of the young officers In
question. She has nothing to do with
the Hrarngcineuts of the table or the
onler of precedence, or with the menu.
AH these matters are attended to with
out her consultation.
Her sole function is to sit at the
head of the table. She is the wife of
the president and that is all. She has
neither part nor lot in any of those >
social and hospitable functions in
which she would be supreme were she
the wife of any one else in the conn
try. She has, of course, her own per
sonal friends, to whom she shows such
courtesies and kindnesses as may be
agreeable to her, hut these aue her
own personal and prlvuto concern. :
They aie not chronicled aa White
House activities, nor even heurd of In
any public widespread way.
The success of a president’s wife de
pends entirely upon the extent to j
which she is wIllinK thus to efface her- i
self. The moment she asserts herself,
or attempts rebellion against well es- !
; labllshed precedent she is on danger- I
i oils ground and is threatened with
| fiasco.—Argonaut.
Showing Time’s Changes.
Something happened recently at the
state department that, two years ago, I
would have filled the whole world j
with column after column of news and
comment under a Washington date
line.
There is nothing very startling in
the statement that a big red auto
swept up in front of the state depart- !
merit building. Big red autos stop
there every day. But out of this auto
stepped first u little slender man with
brown skin, and eyes ever so slightly
slant; then a big, military looking
chap, broad of chest and erect. The
little man was Viscount Aokl, ambas
sador from the Mikado, and bis com
panion was Baron Rosen, the Russian
ambassador. Viscount Aokl, usually
. comes to the state department behind
a spanking team. In a carriage with
panels emblazoned with the fnsiguia
of Japan. The motor car he rode in
that day Is the property of Baron Ro
sen. The two diplomats had made ap
pointments with Acting Secretary of
State Adee for the formal filing of
the recent treaty between Japan and
Russia, recognizing the Integrity of
China and the plan of the ’open door.” !
Baron Rosen suggested to the vis
count that they go to the department
together. So he stopjied at the Jap
anese embassy on bis way, picked up
the little man, and whisked him along
to visit Mr. Adee. They walked up
the steps of the building arm In arm
and chatting vivaciously. Their bust- i
ness at the department did not oc
cupy more than 15 minutes, and the
big red onto soon whirled away toward
the Japanese embassy, with the two
former enemies snugly ensconced In
the capacious tonneau.
