TWO VIEWS.

In the course of his baccalaureate ser
mon at Princeton university, President
Woodrow Wilson took for his text the
following words from the gospel of st.
John: we are improbable servants;
we have done that which was our duty
to do" and applied it to the labor
unions as follows;
You know what the usual standard Of
the employe is on our day 1t is to give
as little as he may for his wages. Labor
is standardized by che trades unions. and
this is the standard To which il is made
to conform. No one is suffered to do
more than the average workman can do.
In some trades and handicrafts no one
IS suffered to do more than the least
skillful of his fellows can do within the
hours allotted TO days work. and no
one may work out of hours at all or
volunteer anything beyond the minimum
/ need not point out how economically
disastrous such "A regulation of labor is.
IL is so Improbable TO the employer that
i'm some trades it will presently not be
worth his while to attempt anything at
all He had better stop altogether than
operate at an inevitable loss. The labor
of America is rapidly becoming unprof-
table under its present regulation by
those who have determined to reduce it
10 "A minimum. Our economic supremacy
may be lost because the country grows
more ana more full of improbable ser
wants.
While there is a disposition to rebel
against some of the exactions of the
labor unions it is generally recognized
that they are a part and parcel of the
body politic-that we could not get rid
OF them # we would, and would not if
we could. After reading President Will
sons sermon, Colonel Henry Watterson
is moved 10 say in the columns of the
Courier-Journal:
These Improbable servants are found
among employers no less than among en-
ployes among men who have bestowed
more attention on the prizes than on the
conduct of life; who conceived their duty

they kept within the bounds of law ard

Much might be said along either line.

in. Time viii obliterate them. It is

WEARING OF EYEGLASSES.
Custom Steadily Growing Among

"A greater number of persons thon
ever are now wearing eyeglasses or
spectacles," said DR.. Eugene g. Win
ter Of Boston. up to a short time ago
the demand for lenses was so great that
the manufacturers were swamped with
orders. and it was feared in this cOun-
try that there would be a serious dearth
Of lenses. All Of the glass that is used
in the optical business is imported. The
greater part of it comes from Germany,
the rest is made in England. 1t seems
that American glass manufacturers
have thus far been unable to produce
glass of the requisite quality for the
eyeglasses.
.sThe greatest defect in American
eyesight is its inability to see at great
distances. The majority Of persons Uho
wear eyeglasses or spectacles are near
sighted. Even those born with perfect
eyes have been. forced before they gre
very old to resort to glasses that they
may see everything going on This
myopia is due almost entirely to the ar

CHANGE is NEEDED

y y
hraska has an article in Norman
Mack's National Monthly for June on
the National Need for a Democratic
Victory" The need is becoming more
apparent every day as the tariff debate
drags along i'm the senate. The Repub-
hcan party. after twelve years Of
power. promised certain things if given
longer lease. Now. after having
achieved victory at the polls the lead
cTs. strongly entrenched for another
four years. have boldly thrown of the
mask and Gefed progressive members
of their own party as well as the citi-
zens of the country at large. y Demo-
cratic victory is certainly needed To
teach these Bourbons that they have
overstepped the limit. Nebraska is ripe
for tile change. and Governor Shallen-
berger believes the other great agricul-
tural states would become Democratic
could they but put aside prejudice and
vote according to their honest convic-
lions. The governor says:
"The great agricultural states of the
central west. if they could but put aside
inherited political prejudices, should
become reliably Democratic because the
material interests of their people would
be promoted by putting into practice
the political policies of that party. Their
people are continually preyed upon by
trusts and monopolies built up and
maintained under the fostering care of
Republican legislation. A Republican
tariff reaches down into our pockets and
levies tribute and toll upon US like a
highwayman upon the road. every time
we buy q foot of lumber with which to
build house or barn, OF the nails with
which we fasten them together, or the
machinery with which we harvest our
grain, or the Irvine with which we bind
il. the sugar with which we sweeten our
coffee. the clothes upon our backs, the
shoes upon our children's feet. the har-
ness with which we work our horses.

the tariff is to Us the very apotheosiS
Of special privilege and the enth~one-
ment Of private monopoly
The people of Iowa. the Dakotss, Min
nesota. Wisconsin, Illinois. Indiana
and Kansas are becoming fully alive to
the situation. and Nebraska viii have
company in the Democratic column the
next time the votes are counted. Gov
ernor ShaIenberger is right. There is
great need of u Democratic victory, and
unless all the signs are wrong, that
victory is close at hand.

SUPERSTITION OF BISMARCK.
New York Sun.

Bismarck had an intense aversion to
thirteen, but a VeneTation for the num-
Der three. His reasons for his predilec-
ton were that he served three masters;
he was responsible for and fought in
three great wars; he signed three treaties
of peace; he arranged the meeting of
three emperors; he established the triple
alliance; in the F'ranco-German war three
horses were killed under him; he had
three names bismarck. Schonhausen and
Lauenburg); he acquired three titles
Count, Prince and Duke; the ancient
arms Of his family are a leaf of clover
and three oak leaves. His family motto
In Trinitate RObur' C''Strength in Trim
ity'D, was surely in itself sufficient to
give leaning in this particular direc-
ton. So closely were his FEELINGS asso-
ciated with the triple number that the
caricaturists represented him with three
hairs on his head. He had three chill
dren.

TOUGH TIMES AHEAD.

The Young Turks evidently have an
uphill climb before them. While they
have the situation well in hand so far
as Coustantiuoplo and its immediate
vicinity are concerned, there is general
unrest in remote parts of the Ottoman
empire and the AIbanians. who occupy
the southwestern part of European Tur-
key, are disposed to revolt The Al
banians are mouutaineers, the High
landers Of Turkey, and their dress re-
semhlcs that of the Scots who followed
the fortunes of Charlie over the
water" even when his case was hope
less.
When Albania was overrun by the
Arab and Persian hordes, the inhab-
itants embraced the faith of Islam and
have been zealots in the cause ever
since. The Armeuians submitted to the
conqueror but retained their Christian
faith, ard countless thousands of them
nave been slaughtered in the last 500
years on this account. The Albanians
changed religions when they changed
rulers, and became the oppressors in
stead of the oppressed But they seem
to lack sympathy with the "uplift" in
Turkey, and it will not be surprising if
they play the part of the Highlanders
of Scotland and tollow the fortunes Of
the protenders as fast as they come up.
According to the census of a few years
ago. there were about million and a
half of Albanians in Albania and a con-
siderable number I'm Greece and other
parts Of the Levant. quite enough of
them TO keep the whole country in tur-
moil for some time to come.
The matter of finances has bothered
the Young Turks ever since they tipped
over the government of Abdul Hamid
and established his brother on the
throne. The depOsed sultan is said to
have yielded up some of his wealth
boarded in foreign banks, and now
news comes that the Young Turks pro-
pose to turn into cash the contents of
the Ottoman treasury, the value Of
which cannot be estimated. Its worth
in money IS unthinkable, for the solid
gold throne is studded with 10000 pearls
as big as flberts, while there are rows
of bowls filled with uncut gems. and
amazing ancient armor set with ru-
bies. emeralds, and diamonds. Among
all this wealth there. are also such tri-
fes as some Of the most exquisite Sevres
china in the world. presented by Louis
XIV to Sultan Mustapha.
With the jewels turned into cash the
Young Turks VIII be able to keep their
heads above water for the time being.
When the money is exhausted, however.
and il becomes necessary to levy addi-
tional taxes. then the Highlanders Of
Turkey will revolt in earnest and join
the fanatics of the desert who do not
care TO progress beyond the limits of
the Koran, interpreted in its most lit
era1 sense. The regeneration of Turkey
is devoutly wished by all Christendom,
though the full measure of realization
appears 10 be somewhat distant.
