THE PROSPERITY OF THE PROSPER
Gus.
New York Journal.
Why is it that in the face of our vaunt-
ed prosperity 10000 workmen propose to
strike in this city during April?
An answer may be found in the un-
equal distribution CT the country's pros
perity. 1t does not filter down to the
depth of things. All trades and trade
masters are prosperous. but thousands OF
workinen cannot find employment. Other
thousands receive the wage of hard times
Five thousand men besieged the City
Hall with picks and shovels a few days
ago and begged for work They were
turned away.
Ten thousand carpenters, who have
hitherto been unable to share in the gen
eral prosperity, will strike in a few
weeks, in Yonkers. Mount Vernon New
Rochelle and she Bronx.
Six thousand plumbers and gas filters,
who have been unable to perceive pros
perity coming their way, viii strike early
in April.
Thirty thousand machinists are also ex-
pected 10 quit work, as a measure for
the enforcement of their share Of pros
perity.
While strikes are to be deplored the
necessity for strikes is also matter OF
regret. 1t seems to be fact that the
prosperity which this country is now en-
joying is a prosperity of the prosperous.
1t is true that in measure this means
the prosperity of ALL There are many in
stances, however, where the benefits of
improved conditions have never been felt.
The prosperity of the banker does not al
ways mean the prosperity of the brick

OSCAR II NOT POPULAR
wichita Citizen Writes of the Nor
wegian King.

To the Editor of the Wichita Eagle: So
many editors seem 10 have the erroneous
idea that Oscar II, king Of Norway and
Sweden, is a very democratic ruler and
much beloved by the people of the two
kingdoms of which he, by the grace of
God" as the royalists style it, is mon
arch. cannot speak for Sweden (as
am Norwegian), but in Norway the
king is not popular The two nations are
so very different in sentiment and char
acter. Norway has one of the Qf not the)
most democratic constitutions of Euro
pean nations; and the people are decided
" liberal in the political life. Norway
is the only country in Europe which
abolished the titled nobility and one Of
the few countries that has established
universal male suffrage and other politi-
cal institutions that would be worthy of
a republican form of government. King
Oscars other kingdom, Sweden, is a great
contrast. It has titled aristocracy. and
the country's political institutions are not
strictly abreast with nineteenth century
progress. The great mass Of Swedes are
royalists. and there is a strong military
aristocratic party. who dream of mill
tdIS eAPio4t anu SiOIy- Ming oscar may
want" TO be popular, but he never could
be such with the Norwegians. He has
ever tried to defeat eveyy national and
reform measure that the Norwegian par
lament has passed over his veto. The
cause Of the controversy between the two
countries is because Norway, as a SOW
ereign nation wants to manage her 0wn
international, as well as national, affairs
without any Swedish guardianship that Is
not stipulated in the union contract
The union was entered into by two free
and equal sovereign nations in 1914. The
union is not liked, although endured. by
the Norwegians. How can they ike
thing that is Q menace to their liberty and
independence? A A. SORENG.
