ESSAYS TO
LEAD STRIKERS
Rose Pastor Stokes Wants
to Boss the Striking
Girls to Victory.
BY United Press Wire.

New York, Nov. 29.-Rose Pastor
Stokes, who before her marriage to
j. G. Phelps Stokes, the millionaire
Socialist was a cigarmaker in Cleve-
land Ohio. reported at the headquar-
ters of the striking waist and gar
ment workers, today and announced
that she intended to lead the striking
women and girls to victory.
Mrs. Stokes asked that she be placed
at work doing picket duty in the East
Side section where the strike is be-
ing fought the hardest and her re-
quest was complied with Accom-
panied by half dozen other women
she proceeded to the factory district
where they buttonholed strike-break-
ers and nonunion workers and at
tempted to pursuade them to quit.
The local union today sent a COM
mittee to Philadelphia to investigate
the report that number of en-
ployes in this city have sent work to
that city to have II done while others
are importing girls from their fac
tories there to take the places of the
local strikers. If II is found that
this is true, an attempt will be made
to order a sympathetic strike. While
the strike leaders here assert that
they have the strike won, and that 1t
is only a question of time when all of
the manufacturers will have to give
In to them. the officials of the Manu-
facturers' association insist this Is
not true. They declare that of the
eighty shops that have signed the
union agreement, all are small con-
Germs and they assert that the Manu-
facturers' association will insist on
the open shop being adhered to by all
Of the members.

AN APPEAL FOR AN ANTI
BRIDGE BUTTON.

In almost every company we find
today one or two beings who hover
Tranquility aloof from the persistent
circle of bridge-players. When the
perpetual cry, Tets have a game"
goes up, they rise and wander forth
to enjoy freedom and the outer world.
Meanwhile into the maelstrom of
pasteboard devotees are swept the
unresisting majority.
The members of the proposed An
ti-Bridge Trust have no grievance
against those moderate gamesters
who possess an occasional inclination
to sit down for.a rubber, but only
against those that are possessed by
the perpetual bridge-fever. To such,
all times are alike dedicated to the
setting forth of n small table about
which seats for four are arranged.
There is no morning too fine to be
donated to dealing cards to dunn
my" no afternoon too glorious to be
offered before the shrine sacred to
"trumps;" no evening well spent that
Is spent in anysother way.
And the aloof-one receives indeed
scornful rejoinders II he dare to sug-
gest that the circle of devotees turn
its attention elsewhere. Or If, dur
ing the progress of "the little game,'
the intruder venture a chance re-
mark, or hurry breathlessly into the
room to break some stirring bit of
news, such interruption is ever greet
ed with scorn or with indifference.
The startling statement, "Scotland's
burning" calls forth merely an alb
sent shrug of some ones shoulders,
with an attendant query: MAY l
play" directed not to the first speak
er. but to somebody's partner.
The time has come for the co-ope-
ration of the aloof-ones, in a wide
movement which shall bring into
happy unison those that "do not play
bridge" and ARE glad that they do
not" and do not oare to learn" that
they may everywhere enjoy their
kind. without preliminary subsection
to any lengthy wedding process.
BY means of a small badge, or
Anti-Bridge Button. they may at
once distinguish their congenial fell
lows. Thus equipped, they shall new
er more fall victim TO misleading
municipalities followed by tedious af-
ternoons of bridge, or by averted pro-
files If one plead ignorance of the
game; nor yet to those deceptive lit
tie dinners devised to be divided by
the figure four. Yes. all the evils and
miserable moments which are the ac-
compartment of refusal to take a
hand shall be spared to the wearer
OF the Anti-Bridge Button, and shall
dwell forevermore in peace. and shall
enjoy abundantly the pleasant and
untrammelied Intercourse of other
Anti-Bridgeites. At every social
gathering, or general meeting place,
these cheerful spirits shall joyfully
Join forces. each at glance distin-
gushing the tiny token worn oy the
others on which shall be engraved

The Unpopular Queen Of Italy

The Unpopular queen of Italy
queen Elena of Italy" says Kell.
ogg Durland in Woman's Home Com
panion for December, 'is one of the
most unpopular queens in Europe
Her court, which, to meet the tastes
of her people. should be bright, popu-
lar, brilliant, Is really the dullest, the
most stupid in the Western world. J
have lived in many countries, and
am more or less familiar with all the
courts of Europe but never have ]
heard queen so universally spoken
of with disrespect and disapproval by
her own court. Queen Elena, in an
American phrase, plays to the gallery
then retires. She garners the wheat
and ignors the chaff. She Is quick to
figure in dramatic exploits, but re-
luctant to submit to the daily grind.
Rightly or wrongly, Queen Elene
has the reputation among her own
people for being the stingiest queen
In Europe. Apparently this is true.
She patroniZes almost nothing at all
regularly, and IL once in while she
lends her name to appear on pub
lie bill. it usually means this and
nothing more. AS far as is known,
she gives less to charity, in proper
tion to her means, than any queen
II the world at large appreciated to
what extent she has carried her ideas
OF simplicity in dress, the glamour
that surrounds her would fade. 1t is
| impossible to worship n dowd--
especially If she be a queen, with
all the splendor and taste of the world
at her hand.
II have seen her driving in the
| Campagna, or even through the
streets of Rome, when l would new
er have believed her the occupant oi
her exalted position had I not known
her. One need not be eXtravagant IN
clothes to be tasteful, but Queen
Elena is not even tasteful. Here she
Is in unfortunate contrast to the
queen-mother, who, still living In
Rome. Is always eXquisitely gowned
and no matter how simply always
with unerring taste"

THE FARM CEN
SUS SCHEDULE
II Has Been Completed and Nine
Million Copies VIII be Printed.

Washington. d. c., November 90,
l9O9.--Census Director Durand has
received from Assistant Director Will
liam +. Willoughby the general
schedule for the census of agricul-
ture. April 18th next, which Mr..
Willoughby, in conjunction with
Prof. lie Grand Powers, chief statis-
tician for agriculture, and the advis-
ory board of farm economists and
other agricultural experts, has been
formulating during the summer.
Director Durand has approved the
form and subdivision of the inquir-
les and has ordered nine million cop
les of the schedule 10 be printed by
the Government Printing Office in
readiness before January list, al
though they will not be placed in
the hands of the $4,000 farm enum-
orators until the usual time before
the enumeration date. II is believed
there are nearly seven million separ-
ate farms in the United States, each
requiring a separate schedule.
The schedule Is printed on both
sides of a single sheet, 13 inches long
and l6 inches wide, of white writ
ing paper, 26 by 32 inches. There is
a three-inch wide column or IN
structions TO enumerators on both left
sides of the sheet so that 1t can be
cut of after the filled-in schedule
has been returned to the Census Blu
erau. This makes the schedule
smaller in size and better adapted for
handling in tabulation than previous
schedules. A separate book or in
structions to enumerators supple
ments the schedule information
The nine million copies viii con-
sumo $500 reams of paper which,
counting So pounds to the ream, will
make weight of $4,000 pounds.
1he charge for printing. including
the cost OF paper. will be sl3'6OO.
The schedule is o standardized that

uies, with speed of from l,2O0 TO

Unless the receipts of the New
York theaters take a.decided turn for
the better between this writing and
the end of December, the managers
--or shall say the bacNers?--will
have little cause for holiday icy.
The plant this year is not one so

ance is due to POOR plays. Although
everybody knows that 1t Is difficult
enough to find good ones, yet, when

like a turn-away business. Indeed,
as come to read this in the proof,

Now, this Is not only very awk-

the angel who will suffer?-but also
most discouraging for the playwright.
Hitherto the latter has felt that all

Now he is obliged to face not only

ANOTHER TRY
FOR FREEDOM
Lawyer Patrick Makes An
other Attempt to Es-
cape Sing Sing.
BY United Press Wire.

New York, Nov: 29.-Albert r.
Patrick was brought down to New
York from Sing Sing today to make
another try for freedom before the
appellate divlsions sitting at Brooklyn.
Patrick in this latest appeal contends
that the postponement of his electro
cuton for the murder of William
Marsh Rice, by stay order granted
by Justice Denis O'Bren of the court
of appeals, was illegal, and that he,
Patrick, should have been dead when
Governor Higgins commuted his sem
tence to life Imprisonment. lie prac-
tically says that he is now legally
dead-so far as the courts are con-
cerned--and that the failure of the
state to electrocute him on the date
set by the court after his conviction
had been affirmed makes it illegal for
the state 20 hold him now.
Parick's recent appeal to the APP
pellate division on the ground that
Governor Higgins had no right to
commute his sentence, which was
overrulcd by that court. is now pend
ing before the court of appeals. The
straight appeal from the original
conviction is also pending before that
court.
Patrick said today that If he is
successful in obtaining his freedom
on any of his numerous technical APP
peals he will at once attack the con-
viction verdict and force the district
attorney TO retry the issues of fact in
the case in order to prove his I9no-
cence.

Until the Price of Aero

BY United Press wire.


Berlin, Nov. 29.-Passcnger traffic
come the diversion of only the
wealthiest classes, according TO fig
ures submitted TO the public today by
committee of five aeronautic ex-
crts. who have been Investigating the
feasibility of establishing line of
airships for regular passenger traffic.
Twenty-Five dollars for days
travel in an airship ana IS an hour
for shorter trips is the lowest esti-
mate. according to the committee, at
which the business can be made re-
munerative.
An airship of the Parseval type. ca.
would cost 100000 The cost of
running It 200 days in the year would
he $4,000. This would mean $37S
a day, or nearly $21 passenger.
Counting on a shortage of passengers
occasionally, the cost for. days
travel for each passenger would have
to be placed at $25. This would meet
the operating expenses, but would not
bring In a return on the original In
vestment 1t is believed that shorter
trips, at the rate of SIS an hour for
each passenger might possibly make
up the cost of the ships construction.
The committee believes, however, that
both the cost of construction and
operation will be greatly lesscned
within the next few years, and that
the airship may yet become a serious
competitor ~of railways.

they had no case.
Then again they frequently hope
to wear out the litigant on the other
side, espe tally If he is a poor man,
and they very often thwart Just de-
cision AMI win a bad case by the
delays Incident to an appeal.
Or it may BIT that it is necessary to
carry the case to get a just and fair
trial of the mirits of the matter. The
lower court may go wrong because
of bias, view point of misjudgement
of the principles of Interpretation

Now, it is clear, that in such cases
the app ,al is taken without any re-
ference 10 the clarity. definiteness

taking an appeal are generally not
because the meaning of the law is
not clear enough but for other
reasons.
Then, again, reasoning more wide

of statutes is one matter and inter-
preting them another When stat

hands of the legislator to the consid'

An interesting sketch of Victor
Murdoch is contributed to the De-
&C mber American Magazine by Walt
Mason. Mr. Mason says:
This militant young man has q
large, well-shaped head. The outside
is given over to curly red hair; the
inside is firmly packed with brains ).
He has kind. courageous, unwaverinS
eyes, and looks at whatever he talks
at. When a boy he was celebrated
for his freckles, and mis- face still
bears the scars. His mouth Is hum
orous, his jaw Is strong. He Is
squarely built. athletic. and has en-
ergy enough for two. He is tirelessly,
uncompromisingly industrious when
there is something in view worth
working for; but not for him the
task of Hon. Sisyphus-it is better
TO go fishing. Whether hi works or
plays, his heart is in what he is do
ing. When this Happy Warrior re-
turned TO his home town, after the
special session of Congress, the peo-
pie turned out with timbrels. dulci-
mers, tom-toms; they gave him such
n reception as no homecoming Com
gressman ever had in the shortgrass
country. His chronic enemies were
among the first to congratulate him.
and tell him how much they admired
him. Kansas loves n fighter, and
Murdoch is a fighter, without fear and
without reproach. His career in Con.
gress has been one of alarums and
excursions, and there are those who
think that he fights for pure love OF
q rough house, that the thnder OF
the captains and the shouting are
music to him. But his soul STANDS
lup for peace. He is not iire-eater'
his red head Is seen, like the white
rlume of Navarro, in the thick OF ev'
cry melee, but he Is really sensi-
tive, shy man, who has to draw on
| his moral courage before engaging
| ir. a passage of arms. 1t Is because
he has great reserves of moral cour-
age that ne has become a strong hg-
ure in national affairs. He mixes his
war medicine reluctantly, even tim
idly, but when he takes the Ions
trail, there Is no turning back. Those
who are opposed to him do well to
give him the right OF way. In
calm, impersonal way he will knock

an, with a nervous headache. He
IL clinging to certain absurd revolu-
tionary theories; he believes In hon
esty and economy in the government
as in a department store; he believes
that Congressman should do their
best for the country. and should be

lieves in many other things. and for

To take off his coat and fight, though
