THE AGE OF cHlVALRY.
Really It Is Now Rather That Yester-
day.

When we speak Of the age Of chiv-
airy we are apt to imagine the exis-
tence at an earlier period OF a finer
sense of honor, of loftier ideals, Of
sublimer courage, and of more devot-
ed unselfishness than are found In the
practical workaday world Of today.
As a matter of fact, very gentil par
At knights" such as Chaucer de-
scribes who rode about with a squire,
rescuing distressed damsels and re-
dressing wrongs generally, were very
few. The age was comparatively a
harsh and cruel one. Oppression and
violence prevailed, and human rights
and justice were little regarded. Pow
erty was more general. and the con-
dition of the poor more abject than
anything we know. and the richest
today welnigh universal. People
were supposed to bear the ills to
which they were born, and all the eff
forts Of a dozen knights in mail and
plumed helmets did not go as far to-
ward alleviating misery in a month as
the ministrations of a single visiting
nurse now. We live in an age of Chi
valry vastly expanded. Where there
was one worker for others in the
knights days. there are a hundred
now, and chivalry permeates the
spirit of all the good causes which
enlist so many willing hands.
Between the tenth and fourteenth
centuries it was but in the bud; now
it is In flower, and later on the full
harvest of fruitage will come. There
never was a time when there was
such universal war against oppres-
sion of the weak and helpless, when
every form of cruelty was so indig-
nantly frowned upon, when woman
hood and childhood were more stur-
dily championed and protected. when
the poor and sick were so tenderly
regarded and cared for or when the
lower animals were made the object
of such solicitude and shelter from
IldlIll anu SulIelIIl6. wa"
time when, at peace as we are with
all the world, there were more con-
slant exhibitions of quiet, modest
courage and splendid heroism thay
are constantly occurring in the records
of our daily lives. In all sorts of ac-
cidents-by fire and flood. by the
forces Of nature, by travel and by the
operation of great industries-there
is always some one ready, generally
some unknown, unheralded person,
to risk his life in order to save others.
If that isn't chivalry, there never was
such q thing. We do not yet by any
means possess all the virtues, but
courage and unselfish devotion in
times of stress are very good to build
on.-Washington Post.

sPLAsHINe THE U

The condition Of the gutter on Mon
tana venue yesterday afternoon
showed the need for some city ordi-
nance regulating where hacks and car
riages shall stand. There were sew
eral teams standing along the side
walk, splashing and paving. throwing
muddy water on the sidewalk to be
wiped up by Women's dresses or in
many instances to be splashed on the
clothes of some pedestrian.
It would seem that some rule
should be adopted whereby hacks and
carriages will not be permitted to
stand any length Of time along the
sidewalk, when the muddy water is
being drained from the streets through
the cutters. Too many instances of
handsome dresses being ruined by
having muddy water splashed upon
them have been reported and some.
thing should be done by the city au-
thorities to see that carriages and
hacks stand where they cannot splash
upon the sidewalks.

sof the labor unions OF the nation and
supplant such conservative men as
John Mitchell and Samuel Gompers.
William p. Haywood, formerly see
rotary Of the Western Federation OF
Miners, is at the head Of the move
jment, which 1t is expected will be
properly launched at a convention to
be held in Chicago in April. But 1t
Is safe to predict that he will fail this
time, just as he failed in 1905 when
the Industrial Workers Of the World,
the organization that is really respon-
sible for the recent trouble in Nevada,
and Of which he was really the head,
was organized.
It has long been the dream Of am
bilious western labor agitators to sup.
plant the eastern leaders at the head
Of the union movement in America.
Edward Boice, when president Of the
miners organization, cherished such
hopes when the Western Labor union
was formed. Dan Mcdonald cherished
them when the American Labor union
was formed, 1t being the successor to
the Western Labor union. .. g,
Coates, formerly lieutenant governor
Of Colorado, thought he was made to
fit Mr.. Gompers' shoes, as did Mr.,
Haywood, and their ambitions cul'
minated in the convention In Chicago
which organized the Industrial Work
ers of the World. That Organization
has long since been dead. Now Mr.
Haywood would make another try.
These outlaw labor organizations
as they might be termed, which have
been formed to carry out the ambi'
lions Of western labor leaders, are
probably more to blame than anything
else for the socialistic and anarchistic
tic tendencies of some of the western
labor unions. Had they been elm
mated a long time ago the law-respect
ing labor organizations would have
been better of.

PRISON fOH TRUST ONT eNOenS.
One Of the chief criticisms made
against the federal administration.
and especially the department OF.
justice, is that few Of the trust q
mates convicted Of violating the law
are sent to prison, but instead are SEN
fenced to pay enormou fines. 1t is
argued that the best way to compel
the Criminal rich," OF which the
president speaks SO frequently, to
obey the law Is by sending some OF
them to jail. This is probably true.
but the critics probably fail to con
slider how hard 1t would be to convict
such men IL Jail sentences instead
of fines were the penalty. Conviction
is often easy to secure when the pen
atty is a fine, when, If it were q Jail
sentence. it would be impossible to
convict.
The subject was thoroughly Gov
cred By Attorney General Bonaparte
in a recent interview in which he
said:
There is me matter, however,
about which I can speak with knowi-
edge. If great clusters OF corpora.
tions, such as the Standard Oil com
pany, the tobacco trust, the powder
trust and our well known railroad
systems, 4 not to be punished by
fines imposed on convicted corpora
tons this means that In 50 cases out
OF 100 they will not be punished at
all. It is often possible to obtain legal
proof on which to convict the corpora

possible to obtain evidence to satisfy

little strange to persons inexperienced

CHANCELLOR DAY.

It Is really hard to reconcile the
preacAings OF Chancellor Day with
the fact that he is considered one Of
the greatest educators in the Metho-
dist church. In times that are past,
the Methodist church, probably more
than any other protestant denomina-
ton, has been considerd q religious
home Of the common people. Just
why this was is probably u%nexplaina-
BILE, but it is generally an admitted
fact.
Chancellor Day has set himself up
as the defender Of corporations, trusts,
Rockefellers, Harrimans, and the
condemnor Of Theodore Roosevelt and
men who insist on enforcing the law.
He has championed the cause of the
criminal rich" in their efforts to plum
der the common people, the class Of.
people Of which the Methodist church
is mostly composed.
So 1t is really hard to understand
how Chancellor Day comes to be a
Methodist. AS a matter of fact, 1t is
hard to understand how any minister
of the gospel can support any body Of
Ilaw-defytng men, who deliberately vio-
late the laws of the nation. Yet that
is just what the head of one of the
greatest Methodist educational insti-
tutions is doing.
He is supposed to be not only a
teacher, but a preacher, a minister, an
example to his fellow men. But to
lovers Of liberty and law and order the
example he is setting is not very in
wiling. Nearly every time he opens
his mouth he says something that
lays him open to criticism. Nearly all
Of his u%tterances have been just con
trary from what one would expect to
hear from a teacher and a minister
regarding the enforcement Of law.
II the chancellor is permitted to
continue his rawlings, he Is not only
going to harm the university OF which
de Is the head, even though It should
receive subscriptions from some Of
the men he defends, but he is going to
harm the church OF which he Is 3
member and which without protesting
permits him to make %utterances such.
as he Is credited with. For the good
Of Methodist oune one ought to
