The sympathetic Strike and the
Schools.


The novel spectacle OF entire schools
in the city of Chicago participating in
the sympathetic strike movement and
leaving their studies because a sup
posed non-union teamster had deliver
ed coal at the buildings where they
were taught. is not only one of the most
gle that has been waging in that city
for several weeks, but it is something
else. II is the presentation OF an eX-
ample of how far-reaching and earnest
may become the influence and strength
of the sympathetic idea as applied TO
labor disputes. While it is gratifying
to know that the rising generation is
becoming so apt TO post itself on the
progress of current events, and to
form settled convictions, there is occa-
sion for serious thought where preju-
dice becomes so intensely and so deep
lily aroused.
There is always a principle at stake
where labor disputes arise. and in nine
times out of ten the man who strikes
is in the right II is his only redress,
heel of capital, and if it were possible
to weigh his case before an impartial
tribunal. he would be overwhelmingly
indicated. Furthermore, it is the
spirit of Americanism TO sympathiZe
with the oppressed. II is not unnat-
ural, therefore. that the man who seeks
relief from his grievances through the
only course open TO him should have
the moral support and the practical
sympathy of his fellow toilers in every
vocation of life. Hence the question
of the sympathetic strike becomes one
of the most complex in the entire sys-
tenn involving the adjustment of the
relations between labor and capital. 1t
is human for the labOTing man to eX-
tend. not only his sympathy, but his
moral support to his fellow tOiler in
distress, but how far he should go in
carrying out that spirit of loyalty is the
point to be determined.
The innocent have been obliged to
suffer with the guilty in most of the
great controversies in the worlds his
tory. whether in international warfare
or in bloody or peaceful revolution,
and yet il does not appeal TO reason
that the man of high morals and lib
eral instincts who considers his labOrer
worthy of his hire, and SO rewards
him. should undergo hardship because
his neighbor is less conscientious and
less humane. Yet this is what invari-
ably comes from the sympathetic
strike. II is the logical consequence.
and there is no theory of philosophy that
will afford the deduction that the man
who does his duty must pay the penal
" in order that his neighbor who does
wrong may be punished or at least
brought to his proper sense of duty by
force or otherwise.
So that the theory of sympathetic
strikes being. as it SO often proves.
wrong in principle and operation, it
does not offer the proper or safe idea
TO be inculcated into the minds of the
young 1t is not patriotism. because it
is unjust.
IL may be natural, but it is not fair.

Plight of the PopuIists.

Jerry Simpson. the leader of the pop
uliSts, was in Chanute. KanS., the 9th
er day and in an interview thus chron
icled the eclipse of some of the old
time leaders of the peoples party:
Mary Ellen is in NYauk, Annie
Diggs is leading the sheltered life
PETER is a pension attorney. Leedy
and Little are not in it and the rest
of the populists are nowhere.
Who would have thought it? Eight
years ago We were the whole show in
Kansas. We made United States sen
atOrS for them. We made. governors
for them and We came pretty near tell.
ing the people what TO think. Look at
it now. You cannot find a populist
with a search warrant. The crown OF
thorns and the cross of gold have been
forgotten. The people have gone of af-
ter strange gods.
Where are the roses of yesterday
Where are all the populist leaders
Think of seeing Mary Ellen making
speeches for Roosevelt How can she
reconcile that with the doctrines of
less corn aud more hell?" Think of
Annie Diggs, far from the strife of
politics. Think of PETER dear old
whiskers. leading the humdrum exist
ence of a pension attorney in Wash
ington. Think of me as the land agent
for a corporation and then burst out
crying That shows you how times
have changed and how we change with
them. II shows too. that the pOpulist
party has gone TO smash for all time"

The legal position of Queen Alexan-
ara is very curious So far as her pri-
vate business is concerned she is not
regarded by the laws and customs of
England as married woman at all
She is the only woman in Great Britain
who does not come within the scope
of the married woman's property. act.
The idea of the law is that affairs of
state consume all the time of the king
and therefore no responsibility for the
queens private business rests upon
him. If the queen contracted debts in
her husbands name, he would not be
responsible for them as any other hus-
band would. The king cannot be sued
Tor debt but the queen can be. Should
the king die, some authorities hold that
the queen could not marry again in
case she wished to do SO. without the
special license and commission of the
kings successor.
