Strike Among VI. DIS

The physicians of Greece are in dire
straits and threaten to go on strike
unless something is done for their
relief Some of the physicians of
Athens claim to be actually on the
verge of starvation because of the
great number of clinics where patients
receive free treatment. and they want
the government to prevent the further
establishment of such clinics and to
permit them to increase their fees from
the present figure OF about 81 cents 10
something like SIS cents. 1t is apparent
that the profession of doctoring among
the Greeks is about or par with that

country. and yet here the physicians
have their troubles of something Of the
same nature. The competition of free
clinics does not bother the American
doctor SO much, but he has. in many
localities. felt the competition of frater-
nal and beneficial societies, many OF

The vo1tnire OF the 500.

Omar Khayyam was a famous Per
sian poet and mathematician in the
twelfth century, who was employed by
the Sultan Malik Shah in revising the
astronomical tables and in making a
thorough reform of the calendar. He is
better known to us as the writer of
some 500 epigrams in verses Of four
lines which are unsurpassed in their
pure diction, fine wit and crushing sa-
tire. These clever and fascinating
Quatrains were put into English by
Edward Fitzgerald, who in 1859 pub
lished The Rubalyat Of Omar" a rem
dering marked by exquisite melodious-
ness and by poetic insight and power.
Omar has been called the VOltaire Of
the east because of his brilliant and
pungent wit, while his depth of tender
ness and profound thought and his de-
nunciation Of the fate which dooms to
decay and death what is best and most
beautiful IN the world reveals much
that reminds one Of Byron, Swinburne
and sometimes SchOpenhauer.

Youth Unaware of Nature of Job He
Asked For.

About 20 years ago, when I was In
Spokane, Wash, a young fellow was
sent there from Boston by his father
for his health. and. incidentally, to
make his fortune. says a writer IN the
Boston Herald. He worked at his
trade as a tailor for his health and
gambled for his fortune. Needless to
say. he lost both. for, at that age, he
being about 10, he was a delicate
youth.
His money and job giving out about
the same time, he looked around for
something to do CHANGING to pass
an employment ONCE. he saw on the
blackboard, "Tie-makers wanted. 1914
cents apiece" He walked IN. and adj
dressed himself to the man behind the
desk, a big. raw-boned specimen. with
a fierce mustache.

WITH THE EDITORS.
Labor's Worst Enemies.

It Is a platitude that the greatest
enemies of organized labor are not
found among its open opponents, but
among its pretended friends. This
truth is again illustrated by the facts
Nroveht out in the Shea case at Chi
ppears that the great Chicago
athletic teamster strike that
- thousands out of employment
; CAUSED the killing of thirty men and
the wounding of many others, was
brought on by distributing $1,000
among the officers of the Transfers
union. We have graft In politics
graft In business, but nothing equaIling
In cold blooded iniquity this graft in
labor. In Sam Parks case the system
of one employing firm buying interfer-
ence with the prosperity of another
was revealed. The Chicago case is
worse In that the corruption fund came
from one union. the garment workers,
and went to the officers of the other,
the teamsters.
1t is high time for the honest mem
bers of organized labor to give serious
thought to the kind of men they select
for leaders and to devising methods
for better scrutiny of their conduct
when selected. Organized labor may
be able to beat those who oppose it
from without, but it cannot grow much
If 1t is betrayed from within. Three
fourths of the prejudice among en-
ployers against unionism arises from
a knowledge of the character of union
leaders. Those who attended the SEES
sions of the Central Federated union
in New York prior to the recent cleo
tions and heard the accusations made
by union men against union mon could
entertain small doubt as to the need
of a thorough house cleaning.
When d labor case is on, instead OF
the prosecuting officer being denounced
as a miuton of capitalists he should
have the hearty support of every hon
est labor unionist. Known crooks
should not be invited to walk at the
head of union parades. dtsgracing every
man behind them. The strike seller
should be made to know that even
If he escapes legal penalty he will not
escape the punishment OF the comrades
he betrayed.-New York Globe.

About Cities

New York may In time also become a

two. for eternal Paris will continue But
even now New York in being the great

Paris was hoary with age.
Berlin is a great German city, but il is
nothing more. 1t is the tongue and the
hand Of Germany-hardly it's brain and
heart-but its influence is not great be-
yond the German empire. IL is I'm all
things German, and a little provincial in
being only North German-staid, rather
stolid, not so beautiful as II is substan-
tial not so cultured as IL is rich, still
bound by tradition, dreaming OF war and
knowing more OF science than Of art.
more OF utility than OF beauty. 1t is am
