The nresent is certainly the Era OF
the Young" The world has seen the

age of Youth" On all sides we See
the comparatively young forging 20
the front and forcing themselves into
places which few years ago it was
thought could alone be filled by their
elders: in fact it is an open question:
whether a young man is not "of age
at IS. He is as able to cope with the
world at that age as his grandfather
was at q. The stage may be taken
in point. Recently one of New YORK s
principal theatres was occupied by

The Progress Of Socialism

That the tendency to Socialism
among the working classes Of the
country is strong and growing. is
evidenced in the adoption of a social
istic resolutions by the annual con-
vention of tn United Mine Workers
of America in Indianapolis. For
years there has been an effot to gain
recognition of the Socialist program
from this organization, which Is one
Of the most powerful labor bodies in
the United States, but the effort has
been In vain. Now we have this ac-
tion and the Significance OF it can not
be bIinked when the fact is considered
that heretofore the ipfiunce of such
leaders as Gompers and Mitchell has
been sufficient to falt the march OF
Socialism into the labor unions. But
at the present time the tendency
both among the miners, and through
out the country, Is unmistakably in
the right direction of the Socialistie
plan Of government. This is a fact
much more important, we think, thar
the adoption Of the following resolu
ton by the minrs' convention:
I'VE, the United Mine Workers o.
i America, in annual convention as
sembled, recognize and declare TO
the necessity Of the public owner

First Refusal Made by Upper Body in Three Hundred
Years and May Lea to Adjustment of
That Legislative Organization.
GENERAL ELECTION OF PEOPLE WILL
BE HELD TO DECIDE MATTER FINALLY
Vote Stood Three Hundred and Fifty to SEVENTH Five
For the Amendment, Which is the Same as
Rejecting the Measure.

LONDON, Dec 1.-The feeling here
today is prevalent that the house of
lords by the budget rejection, sealed
its own doom. Parliament went into
session early today for dissolution.
Premier Asquith conferred with the
king today. The king will, it is expect
ed, call the privy council together to
draw up an order prOrOguing parlia-
ment which probably will be sent to
the house of commons tomorrow or
Friday. The financial situation is
chaotic and until the new parliament
assemblies the authorities will attempt
to collect taxes under the old law At
tention is now being directed to the
election, in which the people will pass
upon the action of the lords in refusing
the budget.
This action of the peers was taken
in direct disregard of the advice of
such able members as Roseberry, Lord
James of Hereford Lord Cramer, Lord
Balfour of Bur!eigh. the Earl of Lyt-
ton, Lord Courtney and the arch
bishops of Canterbury and of York.
The budget will now go before the
country for its approval or rejection;

Wants TWO
Mew Ships

WASHINGTON, Dec. New navy
regulations, supplanting the old ones,
revised by Truman H. Newberry, were
made effective today by Secretary
Meyer. The changes made are based
on the Swift report.
Entangling snarls and the last Of
the inconsistencies likely to crop QUE,
in regulations covering all branches of
the service have been practically set
tied, and there remains little to make
the task of the new navy reorganiza-
tion complete.
Mr. Meyer will recommend in his an
nual report which will be published
on Saturday, that congress provide for
vide for two battleships of 26,00o tons
displacement similar to the type au-
thorized last year. He will ask also
for an appropriation to build one
specially designated repair ship for the
Atlantic fleet. He will propose an al
ternate plan of providing several tor
pedo boat destroyers in case congress
does not deem it advisable to authorize
a repair ship.

MOUNT BRISON, France, Dec. l.
Horrible scenes attended the guillotin-

murderer in this city today. The mob
was so great the troops were called to
clear the streets. When the soldiers at
tempted to execute the orders, a
pitched battle ensued. The mob
welded clubs and knives to good ad-
vantage and several persons were in
jured.
Around the block where Ribolet ex-
plated the crimes of his bloody career,
hundred of men and women pressed.
When the great knife descended, the
mob crowded closer and blood
spurted in a shower over their heads.
The crowds howled when several Wom-
en- who had wormed their way close
to the block, were spattered with the
red spray.

Make Model
Post Office

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-As a part
of Postmaster General Hitchcock s
plans for making the Washington post
office a model for the nation, Dr. Chas
P. Grandfield was today transferred
from his post as first assistant post
master general to that of postmaster
Of the capital city. DR.. Grandfield was
born in Missouri and has been in the
postal service nearly a quarter of a
century.
In regard to his transfer, the post
master general said:
Il have long desired to have the
Washington city postoffice 4 model for
the entire country. When I was pre-
viously connected with the postoffice
department l was embarrassed at
times when visiting postmasters sug-
gested difficulties and I was unable to
point to the way such difficulties were
met in the Washington postofice. When
became postmaster Senerdl deter
mined that the Washington postoffice
should be made a model office, and
DR.. Grandfield is an ideal man to
carry out the scheme. He knows my
ideas on the subject and is in every
way qualified to carry them out
The office is to be equipped with the
latest mechanical devices and to have
employees thoroughly versed in the
handling of local mails at every stage
New methods are to be introduced, as
we'll as improvements in the registry
and money order services, the station
dispatch work and other branches Of
mail handling commissions Mr.. Hitch
cock has appointed.
