To most people the suggestion that
labor unions be incorporated seems
very fair and reasonable, but John
Mitchell comes out against it with
much bitterness, even calling it "im-
pudent and insulting" Lots of good
people differ with him. and it is hard
to see why a corporation that breaks
its contract with it's laborers should be
held responsible at law unless labor
unions which break their contract are
to be held to an equal legal RESPONSE
bility. Ii labor unions wish to break
their contracts with impunity there
can be little defense for their ex-
istence. A union which proposes to
deal as honestly with employers as it
demands employers to deal with it, has
nothing to fear from being incorpor-
ated.

Incorporate Art Criticism.

Not long ago a great protest was
made in certain quarters against
Watts categorical painting Love and
Life which had been hung in the dim
ing-room of the White House. The
protest was Incorporate and I'M
christian and was made by prudes who
were able to discover nastiness where
refined and intelligent persons were
able to see only purity and symbolism.
1t is gratifying to note that Lady
, Henry Somerset has now spoken an
effective word on this subject. Gas

says, II feel it should be made clear
that the objections raised by a few wo-
men are not held by the majority of the
great temperance society, which real

picture has in it nothing but tender,
beautiful teaching, with the purity of
treatment and intention which marks
all that great masters works. / would
perhaps not have made this statement
so emphatically were it not that
know Frances Willard shared my view
in this matter, and would certainly
have deprecated the criticisms that
have been made by women who have
done most excellent work, but who
probably have no discrimination in
judging of the moral effect of works of
art" A calm and dignified statement
like this was all that was needed to set
the Women's Christian Temperance
Union right before the public.

of the American fleet will have a
most wholesome effect, and it would
be well if an American ship could be
permanently stationed on the Syrian
coast.
"The American missionaries and
professors of the Protestant college
in Beirut have always taught the peo-
pie loyalty to their sovereign and
obedience to the laws, and the Ameri-
cans residing in Turkey have, almost
without exception, been regarded by
the government and people as pursu-
ing legitimate, peaceful avocations
and desiring only the good of the
people,"
Phillipsburg herald. [volume] (Phillipsburg, Kan.) 1882-1905, 1903-09-10

The report that William G. Magels-
zen, United States vice consul at
Beirut, Syria, was killed, happily
proves to have been an error. An at
tempt to assassinate him was made,
but the bullets fired by his unknown
assailant did not touch him.
The fact that assassination was at
tempted, however, and that Ameri-
cans in other parts of the sultans
domain are reported to be in peril
owing to another outbreak of fanatic
ism, is held by the cabinet at Wash
ington to justify the President in his
determination to permit the small
European squadron to continue on its
way to Turkish waters. The presence
IF these warships close to the scene OF
Turkish outbreaks will not be a men
ace necessarily and may serve to
expedite the motions of the Turkish
government, which is usually dilatory
in granting any demands that are not
backed up by a show Of force.
The gravity of the situation in the
Balkans, it is thought, will render
the sultan particularly anxious to pla-
cate and pacify the United States.
There Is no doubt that at bottom the
Syrian assassination and the Macedo-
Man troubles are traceable to the
same cause. Unfortunately the solu-
ton of the Balkan problem would not
remove the constant danger to which
foreign missionaries and residents are
exposed in Asatic Turkey Mr.. Glad
stone passionately advocated the ex-
pulsion of the Turk from Europe, bag
and baggage" and sooner or later, all
statesmen agree, that remedy will
lave to be applied by the selfish and
badly divided concert" But we can
not hope for the complete destruction
Il the Turkish empire. The question
cf missionary activity in Turkey is as
serious as that Of the Chinese mis-
sions. Meantime our right to amends
and reparation, the state department
realizes, must be enforced with the
