There will be no ship subsidy legis-
lation by the House at this session. The
Committee on Merchant Marine and
Fisheries, to which was referred the
measure passed by the Senate, has di-
vided ten to eight against the pro-
posed legislation. Five of the twelve
Republican members of the committee
are opposed to the bill and all of the
six Democratic members. with the eX-
eeption of one, are with them. The
principal ground for opposition is I'M
certainty as to whether its provisions
will call for the appropriation of 500
100000 a year or 100000 The
western Republicans on the committee
who are lined up against the bill fear
that its inducements will be so great
as to take from the coastwise and lake
trade a number of vessels to enter the
foreign trade for the subsidies offered.
They insist that any measure which
will have such an effect should be OPP
posed for the reason that all ships
engaged in domestic and coaStwise traf
fic should be encouraged to maintain
competition with the railroads.

GOSSIP

Resolutions adopted by the commit
tee of the Congress ON Uniform Divorce
Law last month recommended that no
attempt be made TO secure a Federal
divorce law by amendment of the Con-
stitution, but that each State adopt
legislation restricting to its own citi
zens the remedies afforded by its stat
utes. 1t is further recommended that
a court, in case between persons mar
ried outside the State. shall recognize
only those causes for divorce which are
recognized in the place where the par
ties were married. To prevent collu-
sive divorces, it is recommended that
hearings and trials should always be
before the court, and never before dele
gated representatives of the court. The
Congress does not recommend any pres
ent attempt at uniform legislation as
to causes for divorce but names ten
causes which seem to be in accordance
with American legislation: former
marriages. bigamy, coercion, fraud. in
sanity unknown to the other party. in
fidelity, conviction OF felony, intoler-
able cruelty. wilful desertfon for two
years and habitual drunkenness.

DR.. OSLER UPON
DEATHBED VISIONS

A Baltimore dispatch to the New
York American says: Or. William Os-
Ter Of England. in his latest book, says
tfat "dea-hbed'' visions, believed in
b. thousands, and of which there are
scores Of supposed authentic records,
Is plain nonsense Moreover, he sup
ports his declaration by five hundred
beathbed observations of his own,
which he thinks prove absolutely that
such reported visions are untrue.
In all these cases there was suffer-
ing fear and other emotion, but no
thought Of the future. His Observa-
ton is a startling contribution to a
subject which has always keenly in
terested scientists, clergymen and ply
sicians, and it is certain to provoke
general discussion DR.. Osler says:
AS a rule, man dies as he has lived,
uninfiuenced practically by the thought
OF a future life. 1 have careful records
of about five hundred deathbeds, stud
led particularly with reference to the
modes of death and the sensations of
the dying. Ninety suffered bodily pain
and distress of some sort or another;
eleven showed mental apprehension,
two positive terror; one bitter remorse.
The great majority gave no sign OneI
way or the other; like their birth, their
death was a sleep and a forgetting.
The preacher was right in this matter,
man hath no pre-eminence over thel
beast-'as one dieth, so dieth the
OF her. -

EDIFYING TALK
TO THE CAR MEN

Rev. Mr.. Merrill of New York gave
another of his strengthening talks at
the Y. NJ c. a. 10 o'clock meeting in
the Rapid Transit Mems Clubhouse
yesterday morning. His subject was
THE More Excellent Way" and he
showed, in a very convincing way,
that the spirit of Christian love be-
lieved in, acted upon and carried into
every avenue of duty, sacred and secu-
lar. constituted the more excellent way.
All We're deeply interested in listening
to his description of how one man, a
banker, in an American city, rich in
the graces of love and wisdom, had
been successful in showing to his own
community and to all who knew him
the Incompatible power and blessing
of true Christian love.
The Y. NJ. c.. A. is to be congratulate
ed on the success of it's efforts to make
these meetings no less stimulus to
high standard of thought and act,
than seasons of inspiration in all that
tends to moral excellence and spiritual
development.

CHR1sT's SUPREMACY.
Rev. Charles Stelzle's Weekly Letter Again
Full of Wholesome Interest

Nineteen centuries ago Plate looked into the
pale face Galilean and asked: Art thou
Today is not ruler in the civilized
world but MAT would answer for Christ: Yea
he is King"
If any ruler should deliberately attempt to
dshonor Christ s name prohibit the hon.
age which men universally accord Him, there
would be instant rebellion in his domain
Neither courts armies could suppress the
nsurrection which would inevitably follow
such action.
No legislator, no man in authority in any ca
pacity would dare put himself in open hostility
to the rule of Christ.
To what must this marvellous power be at
trbuted9 Napoleon has given us cue. Ex-
lied at ST Helena, he one day turned to General
Bertrand and said: 81 know men, and l tell
you that Jesus is not mere man. Between
Him and whoever else in all the world, there
possible terms of comparison Alexan-
der, Caesar, Charemagne, and myself founded
empires, but upon what did we rest the success
of genius? Upon force. Jesus Christ alone
founded His empire upon love, and at this hour
millions of men would die for him..
1t is peculiar that Jesus appeals to men OF all
nations Moses was a Hebrew, Socrates an
Athenian: Confucius, a Chinaman: Buddha, a
Hindu: Mohammed, Arab; Luther, Ger
man,--not only in blood, but in spirit.
But Jesus belongs much to the African as
He does to the American. He is loved by the
Chinese He is by the Choctaw Indian. To
the WelslIman, Christ seems to have been a
Welshman. To the Arabian, Christ seems to
have been an Arabian. No matter what man s
nationality he feels at home with Jesus
Christ appeals to all conditions of men. Rich
and poor, learned and ignorant capitalist and
laborer- have looked to Christ and found in
Him that which satisfies. To have such man
as friend, means a great deal to anyone. For
workingmen to have Hm-with His unlimited
power-as their special representative, should
inspire them with hope and courage, for the
cause Of such leader is certain of victory.

SOUTHERN cH1vALRY.'
Chivalrous Georgia Disgraced by the Worst
Kind Of Child Labor Slavery.

An article in last week s Charities has the
following:
Georgia has again furnished the annual
demonstration of the truth that her civilization
stands somewhat lower than that of England a
century ago Georgia has more cast her
annual vote against affording any protection
whatever to the tiny children in her cotton
mills. For another year 1T will remain legal for
little girls five and six years of age to work
throughout the night, eleven hours, whenever
it may prove profitable to the mills to work
night shifts.
Year after year Georgia rejects a bill which
would if enacted, prohibit all work in cotton
mills to children under the age OF ten years.
Sir Robert Peel s bill of 1902 is still in advance
of public opinion in Georgia. Lord Shaftbury $
bill of 1912 is still too merciful for the people OF
that state Compared with Georgia. Alabama
(where little girls may work in mills eight
hours at night reaching the thirteenth birth
day) is a modern and enlightened state. Com:
pared with Georgia, South Carolina (where
children of ten years may work in mills in the
summer provided that some time during the
year they have attended some school through
out four months) appears well forward IN the
ranks of the enlightened. Compared with
Georgia, Russia (where no child under the age
of twelve years may be employed in any mlll.)
appears tender in it's care of childhood.
.'This action Of Georgia is deliberate. It is
taken year after year, at the close Of long de-
bates in the senate. 1t is by the vote Of twenty
three senators that the year 1908 IS placed on
the black list of years i'll which Georgia adj
visedly sacrifices her little boys and girls to the
greed of her manufacturers
1.-The DISTINGUISHED black men OF Georgia
may well feel certain satisfaction that it is
only the white children who are employed in
the cotton mills.

work in Lincoln. The fathers and mothers of
Crete are asked to ponder on the fact that The
Wageworker has in its possession check for
1912 which the company superintendent by Mr..
Jones paid to a Lincoln woman for fifty mine
hours work. The Vidette-Herald declares that
~Crete wants such enterprises We do not
believe it. Crete may think she wants such
enterprises, but she does not. If Crete wants
an overall factory let her citizens organize a
company, equip plant, run it reasonable
hours, pay living wages and accord decent
treatment to the employees.
There is no room for sweat shops on Ne
braska soil. Fathers and mothers who love
their offspring will be the last ones to encour-
age the building up Of industries that threaten
to inct upon Nebraska towns the conditions
that prevail in the slum districts of New York,
Philadelphia and Chicago. Let a committee OF
Crete business men come to Lincoln, but instead
of talking with Mr.. Jones about it, let them
talk with the women and girls employed in Mr..
Jones' factory. Let them talk with women
and girls who have worked there but have
found something better. +:

HOW TO BEAT THE INJUNCTION GAME.

OF course there is one way to beat the in
junction game-eect honest and unfettered
judges to the bench. Judges like Judge Gary
of Illinois, for instance But that will beat the
injunction only to a certain degree.
There is a better way than that-make the
Injunction ridiculous
Now You ask, "Howo''
Well, let us suppose case Suppose the 10
printers of Lincoln went on strike for the eight
hour day, and the employers hustled out and
union men would do would be to picket the
struck shops and then they would attempt to
peacefully persuade the rats to quit their
meanness. In the meantime the employers
would hasten before judge of the district
court and secure an order enioining the union
printers from doing these and many other
things. To violate the order would be con-
tempt of court, and that would mean a fine or
Imprisonment. If the fine were not paid it
would mean Imprisonment just the same.
Well, suppose those 100 printers calmly pro-
ceeded to violate the injunction and cheerfully
went to jail. And then their wives would take
up the work of picketing and peacefully per-
suading, and they would be sent to Jail.
And then the sons and daughters would take it
up. and they would be sent to jail
How long would the taxpayers stand for that
sort of thing? And how long would it be be-
fore an aroused public opinion would igura-
lively take that judge by the nape of the neck
and throw him over the transom?
There would be disgrace about going to
Jail in such cause On the contrary it would
be an honor, wouldn t it |?
That's the proper way to beat this Internal
and damnable injunction game.
Why. Judge Iloldom Of Chicago actually
fined Chicago Typographical Union No. 16
$1,000 Suppose the union refuses to pay the
fine. 1t hash t any property to be levied upon,
and if the individual members refuse to dig up
the thousand they will be in contempt of Ho-
DOM will they not? Now what is Iloldom going
TO do about? Send the 1000 union printers of
Chicago to Jail for contempt9
Not your life. He couldn't. The people
wouldn't stand for it. There not enough
iails in Illinois to hold them all. Besides, if
Holdom tried it he would be ridiculed off the
face of the earth.
Let us ridicule the injunction out of bust
ness. While we are doing it we will be. rid-
culng lot of cheap, subservient judicial tools
off the bench.
1t would be an honor to go to Jail for being
in contempt of whole lot of judges know.
Holdom of Chicago, for instance. And Sears
of Omaha. A million years in jail wouldn t
purge of the contempt we feel for that pre-
cious pair.

RACE SUICIDE A MOTHERS STRIKE
Some Point for Thinking Men and Women to
Ponder Over During Their Odd Hours.

Race suicide is economic phenomenon
1t is the answer the moral woman makes to
the demands of a quantitative civilization. In
the first place., the woman says, civilization
is not matter of numbers it is quality In
the second place" she says, Il am not willing
to submit children to the conditions of COM
petitive strife. i will not be mother in a
jungle-world."
Is the woman right not: Consider this,
that the demand for children is heard only i'll
military and industrial countries; in military
countries that cannon mouths may be well
filled in industrial countries that machines
may be we'll tended and that the army OF the
unemployed shall not fail. Fine talk about
patriotism and the home will not disguise
these ugly facts.
Race suicide is a mothers strike-the
strike of those whose function it is to con
serve the race 1t is not, therefore, sign of
race degeneracy, but rather the protest Of in
teligence against a civilization based on the
dollar. The birth rate i'll the United States
has steadily decreased since the Civil War, the
period of decrease coincding with that of
dollar civilization, which is one necessarily
without ideals and moral sensibility. France,
with the lowest birth-rate in Europe is the
most intelligent state i'll the Western world.
Neither military industrial at heart. France
protects its culture by s"racc-suicide.' Give
man chance and the mothers will see to it
that there are men enough to people as many
worlds as JOY can reign n-Trggs Magazine

TO PROSPECTIVE CANDIDATES.

Quite large number of patriotic gentlemen
have bravely stepped forward with the an
announcement that they are willing to sacrifice
their personal interests in order to advance the
public veal, and therefore willing to
cept political jobs carrying fat salaries and
entaing no particular amount of work. The
Wageworker joins in the applause that greets
these self-sacrifcing patriots, but stops the
press long enough to announce that if they
want to make their self. sacrifice known to all
men they should Immediately call at the bust
ness office of this great family journal and in
sert in these columns an announcement of their
candidacy. 1t will cost them just an even five
dollar note, and the announcement will be run
until the primaries settle the matter. This is
legitimate advertising. The Wageworker does
not agree to support ALL or any one of them for
office, but merely agrees to let them have the
benefit of it's wide circulation among working
men to advertise their respective candidates..
One at time, please, gentlemen. Do not
crowd the business manager. And please make
your own change.
