gagged therein. Industrial development
has at last forced the public to under
stand that society Is very much in
terested party in strike which In
wolves the workers in any Of those in
dustries concerned with the production
Of the necessaries Of modern existence.
Strikes are no longer private quarrels.
They are public matters that have a
distinct bearing on the welfare Of ev-
cry member of society. Society has
come to understand that public conven-
ience is a more important matter than
private profit, and 1t Is felt, If not dis
tinctly expressed, that If the coal bar
ons cannot maintain peaceful relations
with their employees while operating
the mines to produce profit then it is
necessary for society to step In and
take the mines and operate them SO as
to produce coal. The production Of pri-
vate profit is not synonymous with
public convenience; the production Of
coal is To the coal barons the produc-
ton of profit is the primary matter; the
production Of coal Is an incident Of
merely secondary Importance. But
what Is secondary to the coal barons Is
of prime Importance to the public, and
If the barons connot continue to reap
their profit without inconveniencing
the public to the extent Of shutting off
the regular supply Of coal then the
public will find a way to get coal inde-
pendently of the barons' profit. When
1t comes to a square issue between the
barons' profit and the public's coal, the
latter will win.
Economic evolution has completely
eliminated the old private property the
ory that "a man may do what he likes
with his own property" So far as In
dustrial matters are concerned 1t Is
most emphatically true that men may
do as they please with their own prop
erty. In these matters the public has
an interest that decidedly transcends
the proprietary interest Of the employ
ers of labor, and think the coal strike
has served to make 1t a well settled
principle which will be recognized and
acted upon hereafter that our great
captains Of industry are strictly ac-
countable to the public for the manner
in which they administer their proper
ty. The tendency Of thought is to re-
gard our captains of industry more as
administrators of public trust than
as absolute owners Of their several
properties, and all signs point to the
near coming Of the time when society
will unhesitatingly demand the relin-
quishment of his trust by the industrial
baron who is not administering 1t In
the public interest.
In this changed attitude of the public
there Is much to encourage organized
labor. Workingmen have reason to con-
gratulate themselves ON the progress
that has been made in the past genera
tion. 1t is certain that the arbitration
commission, whatever its decision may
be as to the merits of the present con-
troversy, will establish a new status
for organized labor in the United States
and will go far to crystalline public
opinion that will demand humanitarian
conditions for the workers-conditions
that will enable American citizens to
live in conformity with our theory of
government, If not by private then by
public control and administration Of
industrial property.

Guess Again, Professor.

Professor Leopold Mabilleau of the
College Of France, who visited the
United States in January Of this year,
delivered lecture at the Musee Social
the other evening ON the United States
and socialism. The speaker based his
remarks on his recent observations in
America.
Professor Mabilleau described the ex-
traordinary vitality and wealth Of the
United States and cited Mr.. Carnegie's
maxim that to die rich was to die dis
honored. He then argued that while
the distribution Of land and other
wealth in America had up to the pres
ent time prevented socialistic ideas
from penetrating deeply into the mass
es it was not impossible that the null
timillionaires of America would one
day place their vast establishments In
the hands of their employees and thus
realize the best form Of true socialism.

CONCERNING CALENDARS.
Some Interesting Ones Date MS Far
Back as the Fourth Century.

Among the Greeks and Romans al
manacs or calendars We're not written
for the general public, but were pre-
served as part of the esoteric learning
of the priests, whom the people had to
consult not only for the dates of the
festivals, but for the proper times when
various legal proceedings might be in
stituted. About 300 B. c., however,
one Encius FlaviuS, secretary to Ap-
plus Claudius, stole these secrets by re-
peated applications to the priests and
collated the information so gained. 1t
was really publishing an almanac
when, as Livy relates, t'lavius exhibit
ed the tasti on white tables around
the forum. From this time similar
tablets containing the calendar the
festivals, astronomical phenomena and
sometimes allusions to historical events
became quite common. They have been
dug up in Pompei and elsewhere.
There are also eXtant Christian cal
endars dating as far back as the fourth
century, which give the names of the
saints and other religious information.
One of the most famous CT the cal
endars OF the middle ages is that COM
piled by Petrus of Dacia in a. ID. 1900.
A manuscript copy is preserved in the
Savilian library at Oxford. The Sym
bolcal Man or Man of Signs Ilomo
Signorum). still common feature in
almanacs, appears in this book not, it
is conjectured, for the first time, as it
seems to have been a survival from the
time of Ptoleny's "Almagesi," a collec-
ton of classic observations and prob
lens relating to geometry and astron-
omy.
The first printed almanac was the
"Pro Plurbus Annis,' issued at Vienna
In 1457 by an astronomer named Pur-
bach. The earliest known almanac de-
voted expressly to the year of issue
was published by Rabelais in 1888.
Thencefolth the ephcmeral yearly
character of the publication came to be
definitely recognized by almanac max
ers. Nostradamus set the fashion of
Incorporating predictions of coming
events into almanacs, fashion that
has continued to this day in all purely
astrological brochures of this sort

NEW MAIL BOX DEVICES.
BELL VIII Ring In Postohice When
Box Is Opened.

= BOX Is opened.
The Washington city postoffice, being
under the same roof with the depart
ment to which it Is responsible and un-
der the scrutiny of the department Off
cials, Is regarded as a model Office.
Whenever any new device is proposed
for the postal service 1t is first tried on
the Washington Office, says the New
York Times.
With the beginning Of the year a
number Of entirely new devices In post
al business will be tested. One Is a
new mail box, which is said to be the
most perfect arrangement yet made to
keep tab on letter carriers and collect
ors. The boxes will be arranged on a
regular route and numbered. Each will
be connected by wire with an annun-
ciator board In the main Office, and as
the collector opens the box to take out
the mail bell will ring and an index
on the board will tell the box that Is
open.
The electrical work on the new box
is so fixed that if the collector fails to
open a box there Is a wire which pre-
vents his opening the next box in the
series, and the fact is also announced
at the main office.
There Is a third novelty in the new
system. In each box there is to be hung
on the inside telephone transmitter
and receiver, and if at any time the col
lector should need to communicate with
his chief at the Office he can do SO, or
the latter can tell from the annunciator
just where he is and talk with him if
necessary.
