Rights and Wrongs of Trade IN
iOniSm.

In The course of an address on
''1he Labor .Problcm,H Professor
Jacob n. Hollaudar, OF Johns Hop
klns University, said
TRADE unioniSm is a natural
ana proper institution in modern
industry. But let it be clearly and
eNpllclty understood that il is trade
unlonlsm and not necessarily trade
unlonlsts that are thus vindicated
Trade unionism is. in short, what
trade unioniSm does. As an
economic institution it is to be an
praised by its possibilities and it's
tendencies, not by its occasional
manifestations. Trade unionism
may be wise and sound, and vet
trade unlonlsts may do wrong or
foolish things. The same is true
OF religion and of democracy. In
every case we cherish the system
and blame those who violate i+s

TALKED SUBSIDY
BILL TO DEATH
Had Been Up for Long Time and
was Strongly Opposed
by Union Labor.

1t has become popular fad with
certain people to speak disparag-
ingly Of the United States Senate
as Il legislative body; characterize
it as tho "Amcrican House Of
Lords" and generally insist that
the nation has outlived the philoso-
ply upon which its methods and
procedure are based.
w hatever may be our opinion as
to the best manner of electing
United States senators, we certain
ly do not concur in the criticisms
above indicated. The senate is
more conservative body than the
house. 1t is less Subject to partisan
prcjudices. 1t is not so much in
iiuenced by the theoretical and i'm
practicable Washington Bureaus
as is the house. In short, it more
truly represents the interests of the
common people in legislation today
than docs the house Of representa-
tives that ought to be in nearer
touch with the people. Take as an
example that nothing short of be,
ing an iniquitous measure passed
by the house The Ship Subsidy.
This measure processes nothing
but the naked class purpose which
lies i'll it, to hot house the ship
owning and the ship building in
dustry.o the country at the ex-
pensc of the balance of it's citizen
ship.
The worst form Of tariff we ever
had paid q reverence to revenue
needs upon its face, but here is Il
measure that gives no prctcnse that
1t has any right purpose.
The rObber tariff. in addition To
It's revenue reasons, protested to
husband and protect the infant in
dustrics of the republic.
But there are few more prosper-
GUS industries today than ship
building. If protection is of any
avail it is the most entirely pro
tccted industry in America, and
has an absolute monopoly of all
tn" carrying business upon the
lakes, the rivers, and the sea coas s.
Why is it Mr.. Bcde, that it is
the already rich, the already
strong. the already influential that
can always knock successfully at
governmental doors and obtain
further advantages!
Why should the American Dco-
pie be taxed to give more money to
men and industries already rich
and powerful! Such men as Harri-
man and Jim Hill worth their mil
lions and with their prosperous
lines of steamships on the Pacific
coast, surely do not need it.
If there be Il supcrabundance of

ing, and need the money much

III passes our comprehension why
representatives should persist in a
course of Legislation to take the
money away from the poor to give
1t to the rich. The time is coming

case. because he has been at the house
only a fortnight. Apparently. however
this was long enough, for yesterday nd

.oRPHEUM HAS BEST BILL
OF THE CURRENT SEASON

The Orpheum seems to have struck It's
regular winter gait with this weeks pro-
gram. Not only are there five new acts,
but each Of the five is good, and some
are better
Frankenstein and his merry men open
the meeting with the March Of the Toys
from "Babe5 in Toyland," and offer the
overture from ''William Tell as an in
ducement to remain inside during inter-
mission.
If some one will invent a screechless
cockatoo 1t will be more gratefully well
coined than ever was spineless cactus.
Their voices are the only hindrance to
enjoyment of the clever tricks performed
by Madame Bartholdis birds. They are
acrobats, aerialists, equilibrists and bicy-
clists. One of the troupe is truly a
feathered Minnie Kaufman. But not the
best efforts of the orchestra can disguise
their awful screeching.
After the cockatoos came wonderful
yes, that Is the proper word-motion pic
ture. The beauties of Niagara are tame
and commonplace beside the wild grand
eur of the falls of Zambesi in South
Africa. From every imaginable point of
view the falls are pictured and they alone
would redeem poor program and send
the audience home satisfied. They are a
treat for every lover of nature.
"StepS and Stunts"
Laddell and Crouch have merry offer
ing in the song and dance line. There is
nothing very new about their Steps and
stunts" but everything goes because
they put vim, dash and swing into their
work. Vaudeville performers are apt to
grow blase and ndifferent-Laddell and
Crouch have not had time to acquire
those faults. They are laugh makers.
Charles Charlene is q juggler who does
odd stunts in a merry manner, and Lily
of the same name Is one of the few really
beautiful women who have appeared on
the Orpheum stage this season. She plays
the xylophone with wonderful technique,
but her instrument seems to be pitched
differently from the orchestra. This took
the keen edge off the enjoyment of her
"Poet and Peasant" overture, English
Patrol. and Irish airs.
The Royal Hawaiian quintet and their
artistic stage setting were gratifying to
both ear and eye. One of the five has
a. weird and wonderful way of handling
a guitar which makes it cross between
banjo and fiddle with bizarre but in
artistic effects. The audience. insisted on
recalling this performer. The quintet is
not strong in solo numbers but ap-
proaches the best negro minstrelsy in
chorus.
Finally the Teddy trio proved them
selves quite as good German acrobats as
the other German acrobats that graced
the Orpheum stage last week and the
week before and the preceding weeks
from creations dawn. Bellclaire brothers
were again received with enthusiasm.
Their work has finish. 1t is unusual 1t
Is not trick work.
The Aubin Leonels open the bill and
Francis and Murphy close it. Francis
and Murphy deserve the honor of their
position on the bill--so also do the open
ers.
