a LAND WITHOUT STRIKES.


A MOTHER GREAT STRUGGLE be-
n tween labor and capital has been
started In the east Before it is con-
cluded it win have cost millions OF dol
lars and perhaps more than a few hu-
man lives. Many and many a happy
little family win know the pinch Of
hunger. many a child win so half-clad,
many a small storekeeper viii be
forced into bankruptcy. Indeed, 1t is
hard to estimate the real cost of a
great strike. and with each recurrence
Of such difficulties one hears the uues-
ton. Are they, after all. worth the sac
rifce9
1t must be remembered that the
money lost through strikes is lost for
ever. as much lost as a wasted oppor-
tunity. as much lost as an hour spent
in wanton idleness. No man can deny
that gross injustices are often perpe-
trated by employers upon employees. 1t
is also true that employees are frequent
~ unreasonable. They demand conces-
sions which cannot be granted without
forcing absolute ruin upon the men
who buy labor. Labor is commodity
which those who perform it have a
right to sell in the best market and
at the highest possible price. But the
man who risks his capital perhaps all
he has in the world, is also entitled to
consideration.
In contemplating the frequent battles
in this country one is irresistibly re-
minded Of New Zealand. which has
been justly called "the country without
strikes" New Zealand, for a number
OF years. has enforced q compulsory
arbitration act. Its provisions are 50
eminently fair and just to labor and
capital alike that the excellence OF the
law is universally recognized there and
the New Zealanders have not the
slightest desire to abrogate it. Atten-
ton has been called to this statute be
fore by The Herald, but the recent out
break in the east makes a repetition Of
its merits pertinent az this time.
The act provides for two courts for
the settlement Of labor questions. The
first is a board of Cancellation In which
differences between employers and en-
pioyes may be settled. The other is a
board Of arbitration where the differ
ences must be settled. Suitable penal
ties are provided for infection on en-
ployers and labor unions who do not
obey the DEGREES Of the board For the
purposes Of Cancellation the country is
divided into Industrial districts. Each
Of these elects by popular ballot three
labor representatives and three capital-
lists. The six choose a citizen belong
ing TO neither class, who acts as presi-
dent Of the board. and casts no vote
except in case OF tie.
There is only one board Of arbitra-
ton, or court OF last resort. It's mem
bers are nominally appointed by the
governor. but In reality he has little
voice in their selection. Three persons

ART IN THE SCHOOLS.

nj UGH INTEREST is being taken
'A in the drawing competition which
The Herald has instituted in the
public schools. The prizes offered are
stimulating the young artists to earnest
work. and the results cannot fail to be
beneficial to them. Art education in the
public schools is not new in this coun-
try. having been introduced shortly
after the Centennial exposition at Phil
adelphia. but it has undergone many
changes for the better. Then it was
largely formal. and intended only to
help the children toward a better indus
uial footing. Now it is conceded that
an art training is necessary for the
active duties of life, either professional
or mechanical.
The power to express thought by any
or all Of the art methods tends to an
all-around development of the human
being, and at the same time it belongs
to the most practical side Of education.
To see correctly is a mental process,
the pupil registering his thought upon
a subject in a drawing shows in the
best possible way what he really con-
ceives the subject to be. The art course
10 the salt Lake schools includes all the
necessary requirements. such as object,
or form drawing. decorative and con-
structive work.
Pupils draw from both natural and
manufactured objects, type forms being
studied because OF their relation to
all forms. Historic ornaments and IA
nous buildings are studied through pic
lures, because such study tends to
make the children appreciative Of what
the modern life owes to the past Me-
chanicaI drawing is studied because it
opens the door 10 the great world Of
work, and gives the pupils an idea Of
the language of the architect and en-
gineer.
In offering prizes 60 the children The
Herald is actuated by interest in the
schools The competition win also at
ford patrons an idea Of what is really
being done. From time to time the
drawings will be reproduced in this
paper. and its readers win be enabled
10 judge for themselves as TO the value
of the work.

SENATOR DlErsloH's TALK.

D EoPLE WHO DON'T STOP to
think are very much amused over
a washington incident reported in the
dispatches yesterday. It was related
shat a private by the name OF Board
man testified before the senate COM
nnittee on Philippine affairs that the
canned salmon and the beer furnished
the soldiers in the archipelago were
not ut to eat. In proof Of his asser-
lions he submitted sample cans Of the
product. Then the astute Senator
Dietrich Of Nebraska sent the salmon
and beef to the chef Of the senate res
tsurant with Instructions to prepare
them for luncheon.
The Nebraskan invited Boardman
ana senator Beverage to luncheon
with him. All three ate Of the con-
demned stuff and all three. Including
the unsuspecting Boardman, pro-
nounced it excellent Dietrich thought
he had perpetrated the richest kind of
a Joke on hts guests and the story was
sent broadcast over the country. AS a
matter Of fact the test was not a test
at all II Dietrich had been really
in earnest he would have gone about
his practical Investigation ia an en-
tirely different way.
He should have secured a dirty iron
kettle and a few quarts Of muddy rain
water. Then he should have built
wood fire somewhere and started the
mess to stewiug. adding salmon and
timed beef to taste. If the result un-
der such conditions had been satisfac-
tory he would really have had some
thing TO smile about. The chances are
that the senate chef could make an APP
pehzing soup or entree out OF pine
chips II he couldn't he wouldn't be
able to hold mis- position, for the MEM
bers Of the senate are famous epicures.
The incident is a reminder Of a more
or less authentic story about Napoleon.
II is said that on the return from Mos

appetiziug meals for his august en-
ployer. The provisions did not run low,

aged to keep on serving something
good every day nevertheless. Finally
two officers Of Napoleon's STAFF made
a wager, one OF them taking the at
firmative end Of a proposition that the
chef could serve a delicious entree with
chopped bootleg as its principal IN
gredient And he won the wager.
1t is doubtful if the senate chef is so
accomplished, but he certainly should

possible that out OF the thousands and

at BRIDGE ST.
ALL KINDS OF
HIGH RIVER.

The heavy rain of last Friday after
noon caused the Delaware to rise very
rapidly During Saturday it rose
steadily, and during Saturday night
the upper Delaware ice came down in
great masses, pounding the bridge
piers like cannonade. It reached its
highest about noon of Sunday, when
according to the measurement Mt the
toll gate of the bridge, the water was
2O.6 above low water mark.
The water backed into the base
ments of the houses ON Lambert
street from Bridge to the upper grist
mill. The Lambertville Steam Laun-
dry had its lower floor and boiler
room filed with water. About the
iron bridge, at Swans Creek, on Main
street, and for some distance on
Ferry street, the houses were flooded,
in some of them the water covering
the main floor of the first story. In
the northern part of town, in the flat
above the Spoke Mill, veritable lake
was to be seen, the water from the
canal. which WAS filled to the top of
its banks, breaking over on tho east
side.
Below town, opposite the quarries,
the river rose so high as to wash over
the railroad tracks for several hundred
feet. Considerable of the ballast was
washed off, and it was not considered
safe for trains to run over it. The 0
A. M. train down on Sunday was
stopped here, and the passengers and
baggage transferred by carriage to
Eyes, where train was in waiting to
take them down the road.
Hundreds of our people spent Sun.
day in watching the river.
If the statement made in the Geolo-
gical Survey of New Jersey-W Water
Snpply-1S94, is correct, the late flood
is the highest ever known, for in this
report the height of the water in the
hoodiof 1S41-the highest ever known
until that of last Sundays given at
20 feet at this point. If that is correct,
the recent food was over seven inches
highertian that of 1s4l, when most
OF thels bridges along tho Delaware
were carried away.

The heavy rain last Friday did
considerable damage on South Main

always leaves South Main street in n
terrible condition. flooding cellars and
tearing up the bed of the street, mum

become regular nuisance at each
