one of the pictorially punctured. A fine

find some sane and cheerful basis for
analysis and encouragement.
There is no gainsayin the truth that
the holiday is productive OF a vast in
crease OF crime. in New York and Brook
Ign alone seven suicides occurred. There
is no assurance that any one OF them
was result OF the incorporate use
OF liquor. Dependency due to poverty
or disappointment, or to a mere convic-
ton that life is not worth living, are given
as the reasons. But just why that convic-
ton should have reached a climax with
these seven persons on the Christmas hoii-
day, when the bells OF the whole Chris
tiaD world are ringing out the story, very
old and yet always new, that the universe
should rejoice, that the lord OF love and
peace and beneficence is born, must GER

section OF human impulse. reaching beyond
all of the curious specuiations of prose

cessive crime during the holiday season.

Bill for a Labor Commission.

Chairman Phillips, OF the Committee on
Labor, will reintroduce after the holidays
his bill which was before tie last Congress,
providing for the erection Of a commission
to consider questions relating 10 labor and
agriculture. and commerce, and formulate
methods OF settling disagreements between
forces and factions.
No more important measure can by any
possibility be introduced TO Congress than
this one which is known to be tie result OF
years of study of tie question by the able
and earnest chairman OF the House Commit
tee on Labor. II has been admitted by Mr..
Phillips himself that such a measure is
but temporary and palliative. 1t is but
one feature of the machinery which must
be brought into operation TO accomplish
those grand purposes which will make i'm
possible the ownership OF labor and the
means OF labor by those who exploit it
only for the meanest ambitions.
The evening times. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1895-1902, 1895-12-26

However deeply the fact is TO be re-
Efcited there is no disputing that the
great anniversary OF the Christian world,
as it was celebrated yesterday, was pro-
ductive OF such misbelfavior and extreme
crime as must s,artIe every student OF So
GEOLOGY. Murder, suicide and milder forms
OF violence were in evidence as almost
never before since man reached Condi-
ton OF civilization.
The uitra-temperaDce people will argue
that this was due to the presence OF open
saloons. Those who penetrate more deep
ly into human impulse will say that. it
is a morbid, unhealthy condition OF the
mind, which makes the saloon a mere
vehicle for expression. Others, still. ar
que that if the holiday were not universal.
and that if vast numbers of people were
not given simultaneous leisure, and in
duced to congregate and excite and grow
enthusiastic by association, there would
be no more crime upon holiday than on
any other day Of the week or year.
As each individual or faction will have
its own argument and conclusion, 1t is
of no avail TO assume any special attitude
in regard to the question; but certainly
every one who entertains a hope for a
lofty and ideal condition of the human
species must be led to contemplate the

Such commission as is proposed by
Chairman Phillips would be a long stride
in the direction of settling those industrial
disagreements which at times threaten an
almost revolutionary uprising. 1t is not
proposed to empower the body 10 arbitrate
disputes. The aim is TO give special con-
siheration o those questions which are SO far
above the Monroe doctrine. the tariff and
the finance that there is no comparing
them, and to report upon methods which
win tend to effect permanent agreement
and harmony between classes which seem
In present conditions TO be in constant
contention.
The Importance of such mea sure cannot
be exaggerated. and there is scarcely any
doubt that Chairman Phillips will secure
the enactment OF his bill and disappointment
OF the commission.
