seen which pa:ty-the corporation
or its employees-has sustained the
greater injury. That the former Is
a ioser.to a great extent cannot ba
denied; its business is impeded and
ham pered by strange and, in
some instances. unskilled men
and women, and in a
large measure by vacancies which
cannot in the very nature OF things
be filed for some time; losses are
bound 10 occur, and claims for dam
ages will be numerous, beside which
tho loss in prestige and in regular
ity of proceedings will be very great
So much for the company. On the
part of the strikers, it is tolerabiy
certain that the teiegrsphic expert
ence of many of them Is ended for
ever, as the Western Union IS not
likely to employ them again, and
will furthermore use its Influence
against their obtaining employment
elsewhere; a small percentage may
get other places, but not immedi-
ately; 50 the result for them is dis
astrous. 1t is simply stepping out
of salary into no income whatever,
giving up the little that they had
and getting nothing in return. This
is hard, practical life to those who
have to labor for the means with
which to sustain it; money or
means of some kind are an absolute
necessity; and when steady rev.
enue, sufficient, at least, for imme-
dlate wants is all at once cut off,
sorrow and suffering must follow as
an inevitable result.
The principle upon which striking
rests is all wrong. 1t is simply the
weaker party making demands on
the stronger and attempting TO en-.
force them. Arbitration, or at least
no greater exactions on the part of
the laborer than is consistent with
his position and his employers
interests, and these unaccompanied
by threats, is the better plan to pur.
sue. Something may then be
effected if circumstances warrant it
but extortionate and disproportion-
ate claims backed by proposed strik-
ing as the result of refusal, will
hardly ever prevail. Those who
control large interests and receive
and disburse great sums of money,
will not be coerced in that way:
and even if they are compelled by
some unavoidable crisis to yield for
a time, it will be but a short time;
their resources are generously
extensive enough to enable
them 10 overcome the situation in
very short order, and then those
who forced them into q corner will
have to beat a hasty retreat.
In all this we do not wish to be
construed as entirely endorsing the
Western Union Telegraph Con-
pany. 1t is a monopoly whose
growth and power are felt wherever
the service of It's wires is required,
and by none more than newspaper
people. Its tariffs are regulated by
the principle Of getting all they can
those who are forced to
patronize it to pay; and in the
case of press reports, the prices for
which amount to no less than abb
solute extortion, the quantity and
quality of the service performed are
exceedingly Inferior. A persistence
in the course il has of late pursued
will soma day bring upon it a
strike which will not be SO easily
overcome-a revolt of the combined
press of the Pacific coast.

The course embraces more studies
than are ordinarily taught in similar
institutions of learning. The great |
end of education, primary education
especially, is not the storing of the
mind with facts culled from without,
but it is that operation which frees
one from the grasp of tue senses and
and gives the widest range for intel
lectual action. 1t is, according to its
genealogical significance, the leading
ont and pcrfecting Of the Unborn facul-.
ties, while the implanting Of ideas
from without is but means to that
great end OF developing the ego, the
self, the individuality. 1t is the search
after truth which benefits the student,
giving him vigor, originality and
character. 1t disciplines and renders
him alert and maste. of himself, and
educates him, not for the present on
", but for the future. And that
metho. that furnishes the most pleas
ure in the pursuit of learning is Ger.
tain to be the most effective.
The necessity of a more general in
formation in the study Of history be
came so imperative that an attemp'
was made on the 10th day of May to
establish a library in connection with

the expenditure of any of the library
fund, there are more than one hun.

The New Things in Bangs.

Bangs, it appears, like everything
else in this eccentric worm, sometimes
change. Those who have for year.
and years seen the same old style Of
bang turn up regularly had begun Ia
fear that the bang would never
change. 1t was impossible to drive
the bang cut by any sort of ridicule.
and everybody, except the girl who
wore the bang, knew perfectly we'll
that it was an extremely ugly thing,
which no girl, with any taste of sense
of beauty, would think of wearing.
Still, there was something attrac.
tive abour the bang. To agreat many
the attraction was undoubtedly the
girl herself, but to the girl il was
something else. The bang is un.
deniably hanpy thing. It is mad,
