eiple. The principle of consideration
for others. As a princess, she should
have considered this, and removed her
hat, as an example Of obedience to
reasonable law. As she did not do
this, it was quite right that there
should be trouble.
A police officer once had occasion
to put into the patrol wagon dame
of some alley notoriety, and she
scratched his face and made otter
demonstrations OF disapproval.
Emerging from the melee, the long
suffering man said: "A lady that
amt a lady and don't behave Ike q
lady don't deserve to be treated as a
lady" These sentiments should COM
mand the approval of every thinking
man, however ehivalrous. In like
manner. it may be said that a princess
who does not behave like a princess
docs not deserve to be treated like a
princess.
The very existence Of royal families
is based on respect for tradition and
law. What is it that prevents the
people Of Europe today from follow
ing the example OF France in the Rev
olution, and of Servia in recent years? ?
What, but the conviction that existing
laws are better than anarchy. a
princess should, above all, show re-
spect for the power of law which
keeps her where she is. When she sets
the example of defiance, others VIII
follow. and she will presently be re-
duced to the unenviable position OF a
princess who is not a princess and is
not treated ike a princess. Fallen
royalty IS very pretty and picturesque
on the stage and IN novels, but in real
life it is more comfortable to be one
of the hoi polloi.
The princess should, therefore, take
her medicine like a good little girl.
and the next time she goes to the thea
ter remove her hat, thereby causing all
the other women in the theater to do
the same, and earning the heartfelt
gratitude of the men who sit behind
them and all the people who believe
with Hamlet that the plays the thing.
1t Is worth considering that this hap
pened IN Nice, where royalty Is sup
posed to be worshiped. Could 1t
lave happened in this country ?
Would the American usher have had
tie audacitv 70 suggest to a real live
princess that there are reasons for
iobeying . rule, even if nobody IS hurt
by It's nfraction? 1t is to be feared
| that he would not.

The Princess and the Hat.
Conflict Between Royal Prerogatives
and Theater Rules in Nice.

4 princess went into a theater H.
Nice wearing a large picture hat
The rules Of the theater require that
everyone shall remove the hat at the
beginning of the performance. An
usher requested the princess to com
ply with the rules She refused. He
insisted. She few into a rage and out
OF the theater. Nice is smiling.
With all due respect for the pre-
negatives of royalty in countries
where that institution exists, our SYM
pathies are entirely with the usher.

An ATbiter on Arbitration.
Gross Misinterpretation of the
Argument.

Carroll d. Wright, a member of the
Anthracite Strike Commission, is rep
resented i'll dispatches from Indian-
ypolis as having condemned arbitra-
SION IN a public lecture. A brief
'-5nopsis of what he said fails to bear
out the bold assertion. He defined ar
bitration as interference Of the pub
Inc IN the relations of employer and
employe," and maintained the right of
society to interfere when disputes be-
tween labor and capital affect the gen
eral welfare.
Arbitration is the least offensive
form of interference, and it can he
made the most effective Its partial
failure in the case of the anthracite
strike was due TO the perversity ana
bad faith of the Coal Trust, which
sallenly submitted to public interfer-
ence for the time being because il
cared not resist, and then set TO work
Is revenge itself on the public and on
the miners for their refusal to recog-
nee exploiters of special privilege as
trustees of Providence" and lords of
the earth. The miners not only ad
Matted the right of the public to inter
fere, but solicited interference and
pledged themselves to abide by the
result.
The general tenor OF Mr.. Wrights
argument is indicated in this extract
from his lecture:
Arbitration is not .he true solution Of labor
difficulties While l am favorable TO this sys-
tenn of adjustment Of industrial contentious
between the employer and the employe, I can
not see in this method a system that will solve
The enormous problem.
Nobody who has any conception of
the nature of the economic problems
involved in industrial contentious will
see IN that statement anything to
quarrel with. Arbitration is pallia-
Ave of acute disorder, not a cure for
organic disease of the social system
1t provides for temporary adjustment
of vexatious difficulties, keeps the
peace and prevents unnecessary, fool
ish injury to society, and therefore tc
oppose arbitration of industrial dis
putes Is to act as an enemy to the
general welfare.
Nevertheless it is obvious that the
problem of equitable distribution Of
labor's products is not touched by az
bitration. Arbitrator are powerless
to readjust the economic system, to
abolish special privilege, to remove
distractions to the operation of the
natural law of supply and demand
But to say that is not TO condemn ar
bitration as 2 means OF reducing the
friction in society's machinery. In
ereasing the wages Of coal miners
does not destroy monopoly OF the ac-
eessible coal supply, but it improves
the living conditions Of thousands OF
men, and therefore IS beneficial Il
society.
Il 1t Is worthy of note that the gross
nlisinterpretation of Carroll D.
Wright's argument appears in the or.
gan of the Coal Trust, which hates
end fears arbitration and denies the
right of the public 10 exercise any
control over the holders of speeia
privilege.

Russian PopulaCe Fears Full Extent of the Far East
Disasters Has Not Been Revealed.

Port Arthur were made public to-day,
beyond the official bulletins. No tel
egrams from abroad concerning the
attack have been received. All news
paper dispatches over the Siberian
lines have been stopped and the tel
egraph Office refuses to accept tele-
grams for the Far East, except over
the Persian line.
Skepticism is expressed in certain
quarters that the full extent of the
Russian losses has not been given out
but in Government circles the official
bulletins are accepted as accurately
representing the extent of the disaster,
the general expression being that the
Russian autherities did not expect early
success, especially at sea.
The whole city waited anxiously last
night for official news. Extraordinary
scenes were witnessed in and around
the newspaper offices, and a crowd of
people literally besieged the Ministry
of the Interior, where the Official Mes
senger is published, smart carriages
driving in quick succession and the
highest and lowest of the inhabitants
waiting in the anteroom or in the
snow covered street patiently far into
the morning for official bulletins. The
text of these communications had
leaked out among the newspaper men,

peared in the Official Messenger the
editors had to wait until the Govern
ment organ printed the news before

coming in and the editor was COM

The crowds expressed serious impa-
tience at the fact that nothing was
said about injuries inflicted upon the
Japanese warships.
