Compulsory Arbitration.

However willingly we may concede
that compulsory arbitration is prefera-
bic to repeated coal famines or other
famines involving any of the necessa-
ries of life, we believe that public opin-
ion in this country is not yet quite
ready to submit disputes between en-
ployers and their employees over
wages to courts of arbitration That
means Of settling disputes will be
adopted reluctantly if at all and only
as last resort. The conciliatory meth
DDS urged by the National Civic feder-
alton have been surprisingly success
full, showing that in many cases it is
only necessary in order to secure an
amicable settlement to bring the par
ties to the dispute together. In impor-
tant strikes where efforts at conclia-
ton have failed the natural course
would seem to be the appointment Of a
commission of inquiry to lay the facts
before the public and recommend ba-
sis of settlement. If either employers
or trades unions should refuse to be
governed by the findings Of such COM
missions it may become necessary in
exceptional instances to resort to more
drastic methods for maintaining indus
trial peace.-New~ York Mail and Ex-

Billy Bryan has issued his tcall to
arms for the rank and file of the dem.
scratic party to prevent the re-organ-
izers from controlling the party con-
1entions. We admire his pluck, and
believe that he tries to place loyalty
to principles above party fealty. His
great test will soon occur.
1t must be a great blow to Bryan to
see how the democratic minority in
congress are distinguishing them
selves on financial legislation. The
Commercial West, the financial organ
OF the twin cities, says in regard to
the report of the democratic minority
OF the committee on banking and cur
rency in reference to the substitute for
the Fowler BILL
1t excites our wonder, also, for it
seems strange that such q splendid
elucidatlOn of the need OF currency re-
form, as this report contains, should
have been prepared by the representa-
t1ves OF party which in 1896 and 1900
stood for unsound and dangerous
ideas OF national finance.
The report is in tenor ard substance
. great deal like the platform copied
BY the National Democratic Party
Gold Democracy, at the Indiauapo-
lis convention which nominated Palm.
er and Buckner for president ard vice
president in 1896.

New York Labor Bills.

The Workingmen's Federation of the
State of New York has long waged
war against the unhealthy conditions
existing in the metal polishing facto-
ries. In these shops are used instru-
ments known to the trade as bufing
wheels, which, when in operation, ow-
ing to no provision having been made
by the factory laws for the protection
of the workmen, fill the room with acid
fumes and small particles of metal.
The trade is one which makes condi-
tons in the factory, at their best, inju-
rious to health. ~ .-.=~ :. ? :. -.
The federation, holding that the or
binary factory inspector is not quail
fed to make the proper inspection of
these factories, has framed two bills
to be presented to the legislature pro:
viding for the appointment Of four
new inspectors, who shall be selected
from the metal polishing trade, and
also demanding that no child under the
age of eighteen years and no female be
permitted to work in any part Of the
trade. s3s .5s =sssz

Untouched,

A party of tourists who were touring
among the more obscure parts of Dew
onshire came suddenly upon a tiny cot
tage of unusual beauty from an art
lists standpoint. Myriads of country
flowers filled the well kept little gar
den, among which the bees hummed
merrily. Honeysuckles and roses
adorned the walls to the moss grown
thatch roof, while in the foreground on
a rude bench, contentedly smoking,
sat an ancient rustic, apparently the
occupant of the little domicile, and the
whole picture was set off by planta-
ton of pines towering in the back
ground.
Fascinated with scene of such ru-
raj beauty, a lady of the party of an
| artistic temperament approached the
old cottager.

The Maiden at the Bank.

She was a slender schoolgirl, with
an expression of pride in her refined
face, now serious and now half in
clined to laughter, as she stood in line
before the window of the paying teller.
In one hand she clasped a passbook
and in the other a check which bore
unmistakable signs of infinite pains,
much time in writing and the lack Of
a blotter. Outside a brougham was
drawn up at the curb, a footman stood
at the step, and an elderly woman
looked expectantly from the window
at the girl in the line. 1t seemed as if
those ahead of her were ponderously
slow in nsacting their business, but
at last it came her turn, and she pushed
her paper across the counter with
much Importance. Evidently she was
the daughter of a we'll known deposit
tor, possibly an official Of the bank, and
private account just opened. The tell
er was very courteous as he reached
for his orderly array Of bills
"What denomination" he inquired.
The maid was a bit disconnected, but
she rallied brayely and replied:
''Episcopalian. thank YOU
If the mirth of the teller was tempt
ed his face did not betray it. He
gravely counted out the full value Of
the check in silver and small bills,
which the miss gathered in and
marched proudly back to her MOTHER

wOriSn1en In Germany,

With reference to Chancellor Won
Bulow's remarks in the reichstag on
the kaiser's social policy the Berlin cor
respondent of the London Times says
the condition Of the German working
classes does not compare favorably
with that of the English and American
workmen, who would not change
places with the Germans for the sake
of the small old age pension. land state
aid in the case Of sickness.
The position of the women, he says,
is miserably inferior to that of English
and American workingwomen and the
hours of work of English people a
whole age ahead of those Of their con-
tinental brethren.

The article on the first page from
the Missouri World deserves the es.
Pecial attention of old-time populists.
The money power would like nothing
better than to have all reformers unite
with the socialists. The populist de-
mands have become indicated by
time and trend of events and cannot be
1ldiculed so successfully as they once
were. A third party sticking to the
populist ideas of finance, land and
transportation would at once become
formidable. The vague demands
OF socialists would not appeal to any
considerable number of the people at
Ahe present time.

LabOr's Critics.

Il believe in labor unions" said the col
lege president,
''But think could improve upon thei,
rules.
II with what the masters chose to Civ.
the members were content,
II they handed the nonunionist theil
tools
And patted him, like brothers, where hi,
backbone ought to be
And said: Pray, take our job for what
you'll get,
For our rights are nonconfiicting in this
country of the free;
We're just as free to starve as you te
sweat!
II they strained their every nerve to turr
out piecework by the heap
TIL the masters in alarm cut down thu
rate,
II they welcomed in apprentices to dc
work on the cheap,
Why, then, I think trades unions would
be great!
With these few and slight restrictions
which are well and wisely meant
approve of labor unions!'' said the col.
lege president.
II believe in labor unions" said the bisl1-
op to his flock,
provided that they do not go too far,
For the violence that boycotts and does
injury to stock
Is only fair in military war
Let nation threaten nation (if the lasts of
smaller size)!
Let them righteously maraud and muir
der, too,
But unionists should never let their angry
passions rise,
For that is such naughty thing to do!
They should strike in white kid gloves
and patent leather dancing shoes
And take little mincinp stems IN poip
their ends.
II they'll behave like gentlemen, of course
I'll not refuse 49,.
To be among the stanchest Of their
friends.
If there's nothing in their actions that our
Christian nerves will shock,
I approve of la Dor unions,'' said the bish-
op to his flock.
1--WE believe in labor unions" say the ed
itors of tact,
''Provided they are always nice and
good,
For the workingman's an angel like an
angel he must act
And not like ordinary flesh and blood.
Although his sick wife freeze, he must be
silent as clam;
Strong words, of course, would never be
polite
He must bear the worst injustice with the
meekness of a lamb
That so he may be always in the right

For that is hardly ladylilxe, you know!
She must show an equanimity such as
you see in us,
AS cheerfully we bear our neighbours
woe!
IF they never make mistakes and will al
ways take a hint,
We approve of labor unions" say the
editors in print
If the president had logic and the bishop
had more sense
And the editors remarks were never
trite,
They might help to solve the problem as
to how, in self defense,
The workers labor unions ought to
fight.
Still they are but fellow mortals, and no
doubt they've done their best.
I approve of college presidents and bish-
ops and the rest!

Illegal sale Of liquor Is concerned, are
not materially changed. Confidence
was immed lately restored upon the adj
journment of the grand jury. Nearly
all places are running wide open and
doing lucrative business. Much ill
feeling is enger dared and great
string of soiled linen is promised for
the municipal campaign in April :
The people that indulge in the above
kind of talk are the same who when
asked why the city administration does
not do its duty say that no evidence
can be secured that anything is being
sold illegally. The writer of the above
dispatch wrote while the grand jury
was in session that ''half the town was
lodging the sheriff and many were
leaving town until the storm would
blow over" or words to that effect.
OF course none but very small share
of the population were at all alarmed
about the grand jury being in session,
and those leaving town were fellows
like Ben Waterman whom everyone
hopes will stay away. Two or three
boys who were afraid that their folks
would find out about their carousals
are said to have found it convenient
to visit at the cities at that time.
These foolish attempts on the part OF
correspondents to the dailies to say
something sensational oftimes create
false Impressions, which in this case
especially Is unfortunate as Willma g
attitude on the liquor question is
watched with the keenest interest by
temperance workers as we'll as liquor
sympathizers all over the state.

CONVICT: y y ! LABOR.
GovernDr of Massachusetts Proposes
-. IL, EmnlnY STATE prisnna.s -

G0vernsDr of Massachusetts Proposes
to Employ State Prisoners.
This week in news and editorial col
umns we have explained Governor
bates plan for employing convicts to
make desert lands and waste places
into beautiful green spots. where birds
will come and flowers will: grow and
the whole state will reap some advan-
tage.
I It is worth notice how all over the
EFate there has been sweeping, unani-
nous Endorsement of Governor Bates
position in this matter. Everybody who
has had anything to say about il is en-
thusiastic in it's favor. We are free to
say that we had an IDEA that labor
unions might. oppose the plan, but
there has not been one word of fight
from them. From Springfield TO the
Cape everybody says it would lie
good idea and that the state should fol-
low up Governor Bates suggestions
this year.
The fact is of course that people are
coming to learn the grim, horrible facts
about prison life. They know that to
keep prisoners idle is to send them In
|droves to the madhouse sooner or later.
They know also that the power of the
labor unions keeps the convicts from
having the common, ordinary kinds Of
work at which the convicts may be self
supporting. So Governor Bates in pro-
posing that the men should put in their
time at making waste land tremendous
~ valuable has struck the popular SYM
| pathy at once.
There has been some idea that the
people Of the Cape would fight this
move. We are glad to say that this is
| not so. The people on the Cape know
that only small gangs of men are to be
kept at work in any one district, and
that there will be no more danger there
| than there is in Charlestown today

losses or gains as compared with for
mer elections should be given. This pre-
diction need not be shown to any
one, but should be sealed and given to
a friend to be opened after the election.
Conditions In Districts.
The student should now give some
attention to the conditions in the legis-
lat1ve congressional and other districts
of the state. - ~.
In districts which cannot be classed
as in the least doubtful little effort is
necessary to obtain the information
he needs, and correspondence and con-
versation will enable him to form an
opinion as to the conditions in all dis
Hicts that can be classed as in any de-
gree doubtful. He should write out q
prediction as to the result in each Of
these districts, which should also be
sealed and given to a friend to be
opened after the election. s-~-
During this period the student should
observe carefully the relations between
the different committees and endeavor
to discover the reason for anything pc
culiar in these relations. He should
make note of anything he thinks
viii make the organization Of the par
II stronger and, giving reasons for 80
thinking, should lay it before the chair
man of his county committee.
Campaign Stories. =
The campaign at it's height, the air
will be: filled with stories regarding
the parties, their platforms, their can
ddates and their managers. As rule,
but small proportion of these stories
is true, and the student should never
believe them till he verifies them to his
own satisfaction. Even then he should,
not allow even true storiess to disturb
his peace or his political calculations.
This advice is important. A campaign
story is never started by trained poll
tician for the purpose of influencing
the voters directly. Experience has
shown that the masses are, as a rule,
not affected by stories injurious to the
character of candidates when circu-
lated during the heat of the campaign.
The object Of these stories is to- keep
the opposition managers busy in put
ting forth denials and to disorganize,
dishearten and stampede them. OF
course ISLANDERS should be promptly re-
futed, but it is bad policy to give much
attention to the ordinary campaign
canard.
