King Edwards Sitting Room.
From the London NJ. A. p.

From NJ. n t
The kings sitting room contains eN-
ouisite eighteenth century furniture.
There is an oriental red carpet. and the
curtains are the same tone. The mural
decorations comprise a handsome white
dado. with soft green frieze. The writ
ing room, where his majesty attends TO
his business affairs is like city mag
mates private office. The king, however,
does not care for revolving chairs. which
are conspicuous by their absence. NOT
does he favor the roll-top desk, He
writes at a fiat table with drawers down
each side His chair is upholstered In
morocco leather. with armrests. He uses
an ordinary steel pen, and is never with
out cigarettes or cigars while debating
to his secretary.

Railroad Men May Strika.

CHICAGO, March PA crisis has

tween the railroads throughout the
west and their employees over the wage
question and it is sup to" the general
managers, according to the represen.
tatives of the loo, 900 trainmen who
have voted to strike unless their de.
mands are granted. Tomorrow norm

Unless there is a backdown, the most
gigantic strike in the history of trans.
portat!on in this country appears i'm.
minent~
Forty railroads, with a trackage of
80, 200 miles, are standing together ON
the proposition. These systems rep.
resent one-third Of the railroad BUSH
ness of the country. Opposed to this
aggregation of capital stands the
brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen,
with a membership of between 80, ZOO
and 5000, and the Order of Railway
Conductors, with q membership of 49,
GOO.
They demand an increase OF, Il! per
cent. and Q working day of nine hours.
The general managers have offered q
10 per cent. increase without the nine.
hour workd ay.
The work of counting the. balloss
cast by the men IN the question of &C.
cepting the concessions of the general
managers o. calling a strike was com.
pleted at midnight tonight. The OFF.
cial figures will be announced tomor-
row, when the men will meet with the
general managers, but it is. said that
IS per cent. of the men voted in favor

- HOSE of us who were fortunate enough to have found
homes in this benign country years ago or through gener-
atoms before us would indeed be false to the principles
On WHICH OUR GOVERNMENT WAS FOUNDED
were we not ready to lend a helping hand to men, women
and children driven to our shores by cruel persecution and atrocities
that would blacken the pages of history of the darkest ages.
I have no patience with the %selfshness and egotsm which would
bar out these victims of inhumanty by laws or regulations that would
have deported many of the professors themselves OR THEIR PRO-
GENITORS, who now count themselves among the bluebloods of the
country, as if it belonged to them EXCLUSIVELY by heritage.
It is to combat the claims of the narrow minded, heartless, soul]ess
agitators whose pleas that these immigrants will prove a MENACE
TO THE WELFARE OF THE COUNTRY that the Educa-
tiona1 alliance was organized, and we are constantly seeing proofs
unmstakable how readily the most unpromising specimens, if out
ward appearances were a just estimate of the soul within, can be
ASS1MILATED and made valuable additions to the most desirable
class of useful citizens.
THERE CAN BE NO DOUBT THAT THIS couNTRYs WELFARE
AND WEALTH FOR A CENTURY TO COME, As FOR A CENTURY
PAST, CAN BE MATERIALLY ouIcKENED By A CONTINUANCE OF
IMMIGRATION.
some congestion and the question of PROPER DISTRIBUTION,
and none other need cause us any concern. To this our communal
workers are beginning to devote their earnest thought, and I have no
fear but that a solution will be found, as it has been for every ques-
ton that has confronted the enterprisng spirit of our progressive,
energetic people.
While our task has been to awaken a proper appreciation of the
privileges Of citizenship and the duties which it in turn imposes, to
discriminate between the meaning of LIBERTY N LICENSE,
we have not ignored the difficulties and drawbacks Of too much crowd
ing in the cities along the north Atlantic coast and recognized the
Importance of stimulating every effort that is being made to facilitate
and encourage the distribution of the masses to sections WHERE
IMMIGRATION is SORELY NEEDED and welcomed with
open arms.
The 100000 square miles of contiguous territory which the
United States comprises, with a population of about s5,000,0oO, give
us less than twenty eight persons to the square mile. Is it, therefore,
not PREPOSIEfOUS for people who are themselves either immi-
grants or the sons or grandsons of immigrants-which three classes
constitute more than half Of the entire population of the country-to
lend their ears to any specious plea for the imposition of new and ad-
dihonal restrictions on the ground that THE WELFARE OF THE
COUNTRY demands it.

"Americans Have Nc Manners

~HER are no manners nowadays in the United States. We
have NO TIME TO BE POLITE, just as we have no time
for any literature, except that suited to a street car o a rail
road journey. New Workers in particular live at such speed that
don't know where they will bring up. There is no such thing as
COURTESY among them. We hear a great deal there of other
cities being behind the times.
PEOPLE, HOWEVER, ARE GETTING TO HUNT OUT THESE BE.

The university in a democracy must be detached from contro-
versy and yet be in touch with the popular will and aspirations. In
a democracy a university should teach truth or forfeit its name.
NO UNIVERSITY SHOULD SELL ITSELF TO THE MOB
THROUGH FEAR OR TO THE MILLIONAIRE FOR A DONATION.
The pure light of reason alone should be its guide. Our univer
sites every year are becoming more successful in meeting these ideals.
One function of a university in a democracy is to render lofty,
experienced and learned service AT THE PEOPLES COM
MAND In the struggle for existence there is danger that the people
may be turned into a purely commercial body. Among foreigners we
have that reputation already, but thank God we have not become so.

shoot off the tie which they did,
Mr.. Laurance winning by six

Last Sunday the saloons in
Arlington were closed in obedi-
fence to All order of the City
Council. No disastrous results
have been reported on account of
this act. The services of the
coroner have not been required
nor was any epidemic of sudden
illness requiring stimulants ap-
parent. Whether there was an
extra trade on Saturday night to
carry the thirsty ones over Sun
day or not we are not informed.
The sun shone just as bright and
the earth continued to turn on
its axis as if nothing had happen
ed. The saloon men accepted
the situation philisophically, ev-
en- cheerfully, joyfully. Indeed,
it is said the saloon proprietors,
some of them at least, suggested
the idea to the city authorities
and are anxious to have a days
rest to spend with their families.
Some Oregon towns have had
great trouble to bring about the
closing of saloons on Sunday,
and it speaks well for the saloon
men and people of Arlington that
it could be done here without
agitation or i'll feeling. Record.

Ben McMullen who has been
around Condor for some months
past left the first of the week
at the instigation of Marshal
Sweetin. Upon arriving at Ar
lington he proceeded to fill up on
booze and tried to paint the town
a dark shade, commonly known
as red. Finding that nobody
seemed to pay any attention to
him he started a row with Jesse
Sweetin who is totally blind. He
struck and kicked him before
anyone could interfere and was
arrested by Deputy Sheriff Busey.
He was given a hearing before
Justice Collins and fined $4,000
which he was unable to pay and
he was brought to Condor and
lodged in the county Jail for
twenty days.
