LaboT's Methods.

President BENJAMIN Schlesinger, Of
International Ladies' Garment Work
eTs Union, made the statement In
his annual address in Boston that
rather than accept the open shop II
would be better for the workers to
tie up the trade everywhere
Such a remark, showing so little
of the ethics Of the
situation. which in reality are the
fundamentals Of the situation, fosters
the belief that the union of which
Mr.. SchlesinEer is president is not
fulfilling its chief duty 10 its mem
beTs. that of so educating them. by
precept and example, that their views
shall be righteous. broad-minded,
and impersonal, and their actions
progressive, constructive, and eff
fective
1t may be stated az a basic fact
the right thing IS the only thing that
viii win in the long run. 1t plainly
is not right to tie up a whole trade
TO punish a part Of that trade. An
employer who is on the square
should be protected by the labor
unions even at the expense of their
own immediate material interest, for
such an employer is a real gain from
the ranks Of the enemy.
The whole human race makes a
heap of trouble for itself by con-
stantly tumbling into the fallacy OF
the universal. Human affairs are al
ways specific, and the biggest thing
about a generalization is always the
number Of exceptions that gather in
It's wake The great battle between
labor and capital must be fought in
piccemeal and peacefully. or else
those who think they are winning
by brute force will find themselves
the actual losers in the long run.
The open shop may be right or II
may be wrong. We are not arguing
that question. But we do maintain
that TO attempt to stamp out an evl
by destroying both good and evil is
like trying TO save a deckload of lum-
Der By sinking thu ship.

HenTu Cabot Lodge.

Massachusetts is gravely discussing
whether Senator Henry Cabot Lodge
Is a first-class representative of the
scholar in politics. Palpably that de-
ponds on what standard one is main
tanning If the standard be success,
plainly Senator Lodge is. He has
Massachusetts, by the throat for one
thing. and Il takes a successful man to
do that.
However, if one means by the schol-
ar in politics the chap who stands
alOof from the fray and regards life
as a philosophic study and politics as
a statesmanlike pursuit in which the
Office seeks the man, it may be that
the man from Nahant is not a COM
plete success.
Just as there are two kinds Of &C
tors, so there are two kinds of poll
ticians. One variety of actor acts be-
cause he cannot help it. Char
acter impersonation bubbles out Of
him. and he expresses character as
matter of course. The elder Booth
was a notable example of that class.
The second variety of actor is an in
tellectual triumph he wins by men
tai analysis Of character and by care
full study of gesture and expression.
Such a one is Richard Mansfield.
President Roosevelt is a politician
corr esponding to the first type Of &C
tor He Is naturally democratic.
He instinctively knows the people,
and he instinctively does the things
TO win the people. Henry Cabot
Lodge is a politician corresponding to
the actor of the second type. He
projects himself by a conscious men
tai process into the attitude of the
people and acts accor dinghy. But he
does not really feel his part.
The practical results of these differ
ent methods are that the first man
may make mistakes galore and still
keep the love and respect of those
who cast the votes. But let the sec
ond man blunder ever so little in siz-
ing up the situation, and he is
doomed. For his personality has
gained him no personal adherents.

portioned romanticism is overprone
TO belittle the merits of the present
in comparison with the illusionary
glamours of an idealized past. A ten
dency toward pessimistic condemna-
ton is the schola-tic peril lurking in
the modern bac"e iaureate.
One thing which makes President
Eliot of Harvard foremost among
men of his calling. is the sympathy
with his times, which he has kept
alive by constant touch with all
classes and conditions of men. II is
his excellent fortune, therefore, to be
able to criticise his times from the
standpoint of an outsider, who has
exclusive and reliable information
from the inside.
Had President Raymond of Union
College been thus equipped for the
critical fray, he would not have given
a one-sided and erroneous view of
the political situation by saying. in
speaking of corporations and their
legislative Influences:
I'VE are forced to believe that the
government of the people, by the
people, and for the people, for which
our fathers fought, is today more of
a theory than a reality"
The element of truth in President
Raymond's premise only makes more
dangerous the error of his implied
conclusion that the country is in a
decadent condition. The wrongful
legislative domination of corporations
is not to be denied, but the govern
ment of the people is no less a reality
on that account.
The important fact at the present
moment is the general awakening to
the conditions on the part Of the peo-
pie. What is needed is not warning
but instruction as to the best reform
atOry method in order that caimness
wisdom, and justice may prevail in
dealing with the evil of cooperative
influence. Instead of dwelling on a
self-evident error, those who stand in
the mental and moral vanguard
should be devising means to accom-
plish the destruction of the error by
weapons Of peace, lest unprotected
reform become the victim of hatred
and revenge.

Affects Standing Abroad.

In many foreign countries. notably
Germany. any mark registered as a
trademark in the United States Patent
Office VIII be registered. under treaty
provision. whether It conforms or not
with the requirements - the foreign
countries.
The bill. which was approved BY the
Bar Association, proposed 10 turn the
registration OF trademarks over 70 the
Department Of Commerce and Labor.
The object Of this change was 20 take
the work away from the Influences Of the
technical rulings OF the Patent Omce.
but Il is unlikely that the bill will be
passed IN this form. The expense Of
establishing a trademark bureau in a
new department would be considerable.
The present Commissioner Of Patents
is much opposed to the proposed change
IN the law, and. il IS assumed. would be
especially hostile 10 80 were il proposed
20 transfer TIE authority 20 another de-
partment. HIS argument is that the
present law has worked well for the last
tweaty-th-ee years. and he secs no oc-
casion for a change. That is the very
point where the critics OF the present
law disagree with him; they think such
chaos Of conflicting policies as that
already outlined, cannot be regarded IS
good system.
Commissioner Allen is great sticsller
FOR rules in the registration az trade
marks. Critics Of his policy believe that
our manufacturers should be given every
facility for registration abroad OF the
trademarks they actually use. whether
those accord with all the technical rules
or not.

now seeks TO pass proposes 10 refuse
