HUMILITY DIVINE A MANoER BIRTH
Hosannal Glory to the Son of Mani
o happy moments ere his work began
OF lifting from the world it's weight
of sin
And making straight salvation's tender
plan!
No hint of Pontius Pilates last decree,
The lonely horror Of Gethsemane;
No presoience Of thorny diadsm
Or shadow from the hill CT Calvary.
Humility divine! A manger birth
The hunhIe stable bathed in holy
light
The Babe upon a truss OF straw-the
mild
Eyed kline awaked to wonder at the

Alas, still fingers issue Of that kline,
The thick IF wit, who can detect no
sign
OF eoa in chriot's dear birth nor un-
derstand
The marvel of the holy bread and wine.
And sons Of doubling Thomas still
abide
With US on earth and still the truth
derde
Because they cannot grasp his nail
torn hands
And see the blood sush from his
pierced side
o shame of shames! The wise, men
saw on high
Gods guiding star CLEAN in the east
ern sky
And straishtway iourneyed forth
across the world,
With ne'er question of where or why.
Thy place within the heavens ever

And at our journeys end the Christ

I've hold that there is a class struggle in society and that this struggle is caused by economic con- ditions.
 2.-We affirm the economic con- dition of the producer to be that he is exploited of the wealth which he pro- duces, being allow ed to retain barely sufficient for his elementary necessi- ties.
 3.-We hold that the class struggle will continue until the producer is recognized as the sole master of his product.
 Ave assert that the working class and it alone, can and must achieve it's own emancipation.
 5.-We hold, finally, that an indus trial union and the concerted politi- cal action of all wage workers, is the only method of attaining this end.
 6.-Therefore. we, the wage slaves employed in and around the mines, mills and smelters of the World, have associated in the Western Federation of Miners, Mining Department of the Industrial Workers of the World.

l that language IS structural growth. A language does not consist of words. A language is structure, and that structure is the slow growth of a thousand and one social and ethni: causes. Words are but the clothing of the structure of lang uage. No more than man can be created, as Goethe's Wagner tried to do, by cristalization, or new social order by scheme, can language be created artificially. That universal language will one day be spoken is certain. The same causes that have given birth to the scores of languages in existence, will lead, if not drive, civilized man in all attitudes to choose common means to exchange their thoughts by.
 Baron Kikuchi's suggestion Is planted upon these principles. It re- jects the idea of an artificially con structed language and suggests nat ural one. It is in this respect that tuo DdIQu WOIuS CUuStIGuIo Iuo first and the longest step so far taken in the direction of an international language. Before one can move for ward the path must be cleared of rubbish. The rubbish of manufac turing new language impedes today the path toward reaching the inter- national language. The Baron's error in imagining that English, one of the existing, living languages, can become the international medium of thought is an immaterial error. More likely is the forecast that Latin, the most heroic language ever spoken; a language that, besides being spon taneous growth, has monumental literature upon which modern intel lect has found it profitable to whet itself, and has gone in several degrees into all the European languages more likely it is that such a language, already international to certain extent, will be raised to the dignity of actual internationally.
 At any rate Baron Kikuchi has done well.

--BAR0N N-kIkUCHI--- IS PROGRESSIVE

Not, as rule, are the regulation addresses delivered by notables on festal occasions before Colleges or Universities, at all original, or in any way worthy of note. As a rule there is in such addresses a formal stiffness and an odor of mustiness to conform with their surroundings. A notable exception to the rule was the address delivered at University Col lege, London, by Baron Kikuchi of Japan. The Baron advised his coun- trymen to abolish their own and adopt the English language. In all the speeches made, and articles writ ten, and inventions schemed in favor of an international language, the Baron's suggestion is the first step and the longest step taken in the right direction.
 Strange as it may seem, the schemes to establish an international language -Volapuk, Esperanto, or what not by manufacture has found ardent re. sponse among Socialists. This is strange because better things should be expected from Socialist minds, accustomed as these presumably are to the thought of evolution. The bourgeois reformer, the An-Archist, and all such imagine society can be improved by schemes. They ignore the evolutionary process; in other words, they ignore facts and adjust these to their fancies. That such folks should be blind to the facts essential to the structure of a lang uage, and should buckle down to fabricate new one is nothing strange. They know naught of the evolution that underlies language. It should be otherwise with the Social ist. Habituated to the evolutionary thought he is the last man with whom so rattle brained notion as the man. ufacture of a language should be ex- pected to take lodgment. The scien tific habits of thought the Socialist has presumably acquired, and which cause him to reject all "schemes" for social mprovements, should be enough to open his eyes to the fact

Whereas, The capitalist class, thru their flunkies, by sending troops to Goldfield to make the majority, the miners, submit to the will and dic- tates of the minority. the mine own CTS, have again shown to what extent profit extractors will go to satisfy their gluttony.
 The capitalist class, through prat- ing of democratic rule, show by their acts that they believe in class rule. They, the capitalist class, show in every act, that they consider the working class only chattels, only things that are useful in making a life of ease and comfort fer them selves, the capitalist class, whereas, the most distinguished citizen of the United States, the noted reformer, the trust buster, the gentleman of the "square deal fame," the brilliant author
 Whereas, The judge of citizens, has once more become conspicuous for his class acts and thereby shows him. self fitted only for class rule, instead of the servant Uf all the people, as pretended.
 Whereas, the governor of great state, the official who Is supposed to see that the rights of all citizens are respected, has shown himself the will ing tool of profit nc ngers and stock amblers, and is therefore united for position of trust in nation of toilers.
 Whereas, The working class or any portion thereof, can only protect itself from the encroachments and abuses of the capitalist class by or ganizing themselves into a thorough class organization; therefore be it
 Resolved, That we, Local 92, I. w.

PROGRESS IN ELECT RICITY

The first installation of electric lights on shipboard was on the Amer ican steamship Columbia, of the Ore gon Railway and Navigation company, in 1880. the plant comprising four of the original type Edison machines, belt driven.
 Since that time her progress ill con- nection with marine electric matters has been rapid. While there are three great enemies of electrical apparatus to contend with in sea service, namely, salt air, moisture and heat, and the marine engineer was duly afraid of them, the many obvious ad vantages of electric light aboard ship helped gradually to overcome most of the obstacles, and today after much early trouble with apparatus and wir- ing, electric service is one of the we'll established commodities afloat.
 Telephone equipments today are re- cognized institutions aborad ship, controlled from central offices as in shore service. Electric heat alarms, too; are in use. in ships coal bunkers to give warning of dangerous temper atures rises and the liability of spon- taneous combustion. There are, fur ther, electrically operated elevators which, of recent years, with half a dozen decks, have become virtually necessities and not simply convienc- ies.
 In the gymnasiums aboard these ships also complete systems of appli- ances on the Zander system, arc in stalled, and all these are operated by electric motors. An electric light bath cabinet is still another adjunct to the modern ocean liners equip ment, and in the ships barber shop some of the we'll known types of cleo tric massage apparatus have been adopted. Wireless telegraph apparatus, too, as almost every one knows, has come into extended service in the variou. navies and merchant marines, and nc passenger steamship today is consid cred complete without it.
 With all the interest and import ance attached to these several electric marine applications, however, th' most promising filed for the future service of electricity aboard ship is il the substitution of electric motors fo steam and hydraulic engines operat ing the auxiliary machinery of whicl so much is installed on a modern yes sel. A good deal has been done alonl this line during the past half doze, years, but much remains yet to be ac ! complained. Electrical Record.
