Says Americans Are Learning How

In America, eating is becoming more
of a fine art as we'll as pastime and
accomplishment every day. Americans
are learning how to eat. They have
passed the stage of civilization where
anything and everything will go and
are becoming particular eaters.

Movement a Failure.

From various sources comes the in
formation that the movement of the
people in Russia is failure. Is the
present not little too early for a
verdict? To be sure, this particular
uprising has been crushed out, but
there is no sign that the spirit that
provoked it has been in any measure
quenchsd- The smoldering fire is
there, and the final outbreak, al
though it may be preceded by many
other ineffective ones, is certain to
come
Before the awful finale of Mont Pelee
there were grumblings that portende6
all that subsequently happened. These
Rumb iings died away The Dopalace
was assured that no danger existed,
believed it, and found the end in one
OF the most tremendous catastrophes
that ever startled the world. The
bureaucrats OF Russia are being as
sured there is no danger, and they
crawl over the surface of the social
Mont Pelee, foolish and confident.
In one sense, at least, the move
ment has not failed 1t has displayed
to civilization the utter ruthlessness
OF Russian methods, the rottenness
OF its system, the brutality Of its
chiefs, and, withal, the weakness OF
regime that can save its tottering
power only by e wall Of soldiery Out
OF the vivid picture of oppression and
murder that has appalled, the senses.
there has come not single CLEAN of
decent purpose on the part of the
government, no hint OF humane
method, no regard for justice. The
friends that Russia had have been
lost, because OF the revelation that
the friendship had been misplaced.
Thoughtful students believe that
this movement is the definite be-
ginning OF a process that will leave
the Gzar Without a throne, his dueal
circle outcasts, and give to the people
the liberty they crave.

Value of a Life.

An attache Of the gunDoat Wheeling
convicted of manslaughter in the third
degree at Honolulu has been fined 81.

ed the sentence, and showed every
willingness 10 contribute the amount
OF the fine and enough more to pur-
chase tie prisoner a medal. The
victim had been known as Useless
Harris. and been sort of prizefght-
er with long and turbulent intervals
between tue periods of training.
This decision is interesting, in that
i assails effectively the theory that
one life is as valuable as another, or
that there is a dead level of estimate.
The truth is that some lives are OF no
value Whatever, and when they go

Literary Claimants.

Mention was made recently Of the
use by the Chaplain of the House
III his morning prayer of the following
lines:
There is SO much bad in the best of us,
And so much good in the worst of us,
That it hardly beAooyes any of US
To talk about the rest Of US.
Added to this was the statement
that Governor Hoch, of Kansas, had
put forward claim to the author
ship, and a small slam at the worthy
chaplain for not having given him
the credit. In treating the subject the
question was asked: Who had the
honor to write Now l Lay Me Down
to Sleep
Commenting upon the situation a
correspondent signing herself Teach
err ayers that the first lines were
written by Robert Louis Stevenson.
Concerning this phase OF the matter
word is anxiously awaited from
Kansas
Another correspondent sends in the
news that he was the author of Now
/ Lay Me Down to Sleep" With great
respect for him, we are inclined 10
doubt Il.
However, the controversy is started,
and it is wide open. Here are TWO
points that for the sake of accuracy
should be settled definitely.

Lawlessness has accompanied the
strike labor weapon. and II has ac-
ccmpanied the actions OF the alleged
law and order element as weapon
against the strikers
The faults in the organization of the
unions. by allowing strikes TO be deter
mined by committee instead of by Il
referendum, and the faults in the Or
ganization of the Citizens Alliance, by
allowing irresponsible rnobs to represent
II, have disturbed the peace OF the coun-
ties in Colorado in which the conflict
had been waged to such an extent that
people outside of Colorado wonder If
there Is any law or any law-abiding clti-
Gems in that State. Ii is a fact, however,
that order is being restored, for there IS
third party now interested which is
claiming the adherence of the best ele-
Eleats in Colorado, and ii is insisting
that deportationS, whether by the West
ern Federation of Miners or under in
structions of the mine owners associa-
ton or Citizens Alliance, shall cease.
There, The Times thinks, is the
whole situation in a nutshell The
strike arose through the efforts OF
organized labor to establish the West
ern Federation OF Miners in the smelt-
ers, anG it was fought by the mining
companies, not as an answer to spe-
cific demands from their workmen.
but as a campaign against the whole
cause of union labor. Out OF these
premises came what everyone might
have expected = iawlessness ..as a
labor weapon" and lawlessness e.as a
weapon against the strikers :,
As the miners erred, by following
the unwise leadership of men with
other axes to grind than the miners
interests, so the employers erred by
allowing irresponsible mobs'' to rep
resent them. The two together have
disturbed the peace of the counties of
Colorado, in which the conflict has
been waged, to such an extent that
people outside of Colorado wonder
II there is any law or any law-abiding
citizens in that State,
These are the facts on which clergy
men. newspapers, and others accus-
toned to address the public ear have
based the most undigested and un-
guarded attacks on the whole body
of union workmen. Commissioner
Wright finds, it is true, that these
workmen provoked lawlessness by ac-
cepting the guidance OF a committee
Instead of retaining the leadership in
their own hands. But he does not
find that this YVES the cause of all
the wrong or that union labor. as
exemplified in this disastrous conflict.
is less credit TO the nation than the
association of employers with which
the laborers clashed.s

A University for the People

The Times notes with pleasure the
widening scope OF the cfty's public
library.
according to a recent statement
from Librarian Bowermann, the 70. goo
volumes and $50 periodicals now On
It's shelves have the attention Of about
30 ,0oa readers. and 27 900 books were
withdrawn for reading in the month
Of December alone This would indi-
cate that the institution is becoming
real library for the people
But this is not ali. Most of the
reading in public libraries is fiction.
This is much better than no general
reading, Of course, but it does not
represent the maximum good which
can be obtained from public reading
rooms. So the library force has been
bringing other fields of literature TO
the front-works on economics, music,
art, and technical subjects-and al
ready it reports a decrease in the
amount of fiction read by over fifteen
per cent.
Still wider field is involved by
the appropriation now pending to
keep the reading rooms open on holi-
days and Sundays. When this project
materializes, the enterprise and in
dustry of the present library force
will have contributed materially to
making the free library the university
for the people it was designed 10 be.
