many centuries. the Red Mass in the

victory for Organized Labor.

organized labor has scored notable
victory through recent decision of the
Illinois State Board of Arbitration in
the case of Plough Workers Union No.
$3.50 against the Sattley Manufacture
ing Company of Springfield, ILL., The
members Of the union in their petit
ton to the state board claimed that
the company had denied their right to
organize, and was endeavoring to
break up the union. The state board
declared that workingmen had as
much right to combine for their mu-
tual benefit and protection as is exer-
Used with more freedom by their en-
ployer, and held that the labor union
Is based upon the recognition Of the
potency of organization. In the de-

The Social Democrats of Milwaukee
are conducting an active campaign
among the several labor unions OF the
city for the spring election. Meetings
are now being held several times
week and Socialist literature is being
distributed freely among the different
unions. The leaders of the Socialist
movement still claim that they will
muster 10000 votes in the coming
election, while the trades unionists
who are opposed to the introduction of
politics in unions claim that 5000 votes
will be nearer the number. The So
cialist convention is awaited with the
greatest interest, as 1t will give the
first inkling as to who the candidates
for Office will be.

Thinking men of to-day, confronted,
for example, with the problems OF
China, South Africa (the settlement
problem, not the war problem), are de-
termined, says r. Brimley Johnson in
the Atlantic, that the claims of impe-
rialism shall not involve a reckless de-
struction of patriotism, or a foolish
process of remolding nations on Biz
mingham patterns. Without precisely
declaring that western civilization has
reached its climax, they are firmly con-
WINGED that as itself an all-sufficient
motive power its influence is on the
wane. In other words, it is now recog-
nized to be valuable only as a means,
and 1t behooves us to consider the end
it may legitimately encourage. For
the moment, however, the pressing ne
cessity is to check popular enthusiasm
from mistaking it for an end; to con-
vince the body polite that the con-
sciences and ideals of other people are
at least as permanent and as valuable
as our own; that their ways are not
our ways, nor our ways theirs, Nations
make poor lecturers, and the arena Of
diplomacy is an unsteady pulpit Civ
ilizations are not one, but many, and
of to-day's survivals few are barbar-
GUS. The danger of forgetting this
truth is both theoretic and practical.
The call to arms in Christ's name de-
MES the doctrine we are protesting to
inculcate; the habit Of interfering
provokes interference. Our grand
children will hardly thank us for teach

Hope for the Filipinos.

The people are not quite ready to
believe that the Filipinos are the base,
treacherous rebels they have sometimes
been represented to be, that the islands
are seething with rebellion and that
reconcentrado methods must be in
voked If such were the case it would
be singular to find S43 teachers in the
islands at 450 different places and in
200 of these places wholly unprotected
by United States troops. The Filipino
is not hostile to teachers and to learn
ing. Who will say that there is not
hope for him?

What Is the object?

J. j.. Hill with a sober face told the
commission that competition between
railroads raised the rates and that mo-
nopoly was what reduced them. II this
simple proposition is correct why IN
the world are the railroad managers
trying to get the law so amended that
they can pool instead of competing? is
it because they want to reduce their
incomes?

We do not ourselves believe that our
shipyards could not compete to advan-
tage with all foreigners any more than
we believe that our locomotive builders
need a subsidy. Ships are manufac-
turers of steel and we have been invad-
ing the markets of the great steel man
ufacturing countries with our products
for number of years past. The world
rings with the groans of our unsuccess-
full rivals. 1t is not common sense to
infer that an industry so powerful and
triumphant in one branch is imbecile
and dependent in another branch.

The latest reports from the Servant

long exist, and though the leaders of

canadian paoino,s Big Scheme.

The Canadian Pacific railroad has
completed arrangements for building
immense locomotive and car works in
the east end of Montreal. 1t is said
that 1000 men will be employed, and
$50 acres of land has been acquired
for the site. The company has loco
motive works in that part of the city,
but they are entirely insufficient to
meet the needs of the system. 1t has
also a number of car shops at various
points, but all these are to be concen-
trated at Montreal. 1t Is proposed
that every engine and car needed by
the road will in future be built in its
own shops.

Deem Hostility of the FilIplnos.

We suppose that the general consen-
sus of opinion in this country Is now
agreed that the roseate reports OF Fill
Pine regard for us and desire to live in
love with out authorities and our in
situations in the islands are without
foundation. The reports of our mill
tary commanders are now believed in
their long succession of agreements
that the Filipinos must be subdued,
disarmed and ruled for years to come
by military force. We are compelled
to believe that the natives who take
the oath of allegiance and are given
salaries as officials are for the most
part in active communication with the
natives who are openly arrayed
against us.

Pay High for Our Army.

We are paying 100000 week to
run our army. Leaving pensions out
of The account, it costs us $1,2S9 to
maintain one soldier year, which is
over fivy times what it costs to main
tain a soldier in the most extensively
equipped army of Europe. We pay
high for our army, and if all the money
went for the comfort Of the soldier no
body would complain. 1t goes where
money generally goes in this high-sal-
aried country, nor does it always go
where it will do the most good.

Indian Department Foolishness.


There is something so foolish in the
alleged government order that the In
dams shall cut their long hair and stop
painting their faces that doubt as to
the authenticity Of the report should
first be expressed. An Indian has as
much right to wear his hair long as
the Harvard man has to part his hair
in the middle. And an Indian has as
much right to paint his face as white
woman, has to paint hers. Petty ty-
ranny of this sort might easily send
the remaining Indian bands on the
warpath. The thing to do is to civilize
the Indian and then the Indian will
take care of his dress without govern
ment assistance.

Il. Minerand has recently presented
a report to the president of the French
republic in which he proposes the
gradual elimination of women from
the service of the French postoffice.
since the initiation of the feminine
service in 1893 the department has
been very carefully watched, and it is
said that the experience Of eight years
has demonstrated numerous shortcom-

of the majority of women for certain
parts of the work.

that if chosen by the votes of the people
he would provide a mistress for ...e new

Governor has not half done his duty in
