COMPULSORY ARBITRATION.

Voluntary arbitration has been in
dulged in to a greater extent during
the past twelve months than ever be-
fore in the settlement OF the differ
ences between capital and labor. New
ertheless 1t would appear that plans
will have to be worked out sooner or
later, and the sooner the better. for a
compulsory arbitration by public au-
thority for the adjustment of such dis
putes as labor and capital may not
be able to settle with each other.
This fact is brought forcibly home
by the cloakmakers' strike which has
been in progress in New York city for
several weeks. Not only has it prac-
tically tied I'D an enormous industry
to which the people of the whole coun-
try look for the wearing apparel it
manufactures, causing enormous losses
to the men and companies operating
the industry and much inconvenience
to the merchants and their customers
dependent On it for goods. But-and
this is by far the most important fea-
ture of the situation-it has deprived
the strikers and their families of their
sustenance. In the aggregate they
have lost millions of dollars in wages
which they can never recoup. And,
for the most part, being the poorest of
people they have reached the stage
where their little savings have been
exhausted. Hundreds, in fact, thous-
ands of them are now being put out of
their rooms and apartments for failure
to pay their rent. "Idleness, hunger,
misery and sickness walk the East side
because of the cloakmakers' strike
which still persists despite injunctions
and attempts at arbitration" This is
a brief but graphic sentence in a re-
cent Associated Press dispatch from
New York telling of the situation that
has now developed among the strikers.
If New York state and the other
states and the nation. as we'll. had
laws which would compel the arbitra-
ton of all differences that capital and
labor are not able to settle between
themselves, no horrible stories of suf-
fering and want like this one would
have to be told. Nor would the wheels
of great industry be clogged.

THE PROBLEM OF CRIME.

Two fundamental considerations Pro-
fessor George Burman Foster affirms.
should determine all that we think and
do with reference to the problem of
crime, says Current Literature for Sep
TENDER. The one is the insight that
the transgressor should be protected
from the consequences of causes which
he did not himself originate; that he
should not be treated as guilty because
civilization, law, custom, are affecting
the capitalization of men in general
more rapidly than he can keep up with
on account of his atavistic human
nature. The other is the insight into
the large part society has in the
commission of the individuals crime
If the individual is responsible for the
final deed, which alone is punished. So
ciety is largely responsible for the con-
clifton and the spirit which are the soil
and the root of the deed" Professor
Foster contends:
Not punishment as equal and ex-
act retribution for the transgression.
nor deterrence as affecting potential
transgressors (Which has less regard to
the actual transgressor than Justice
has). but pedagogy. in the broad sense
Of the word, as salvation and improve

FROM OTHER PENS
AMERICAN ENTERPRISE.

A characteristic story of American
enterprise comes from London, and it
has to do with the death of the late
King Edward.
The proprietor of one London's
greatest department stores is an Amer
ican- Several weeks before the death
of his majesty this merchant, realizing
that inevitable dissolution was near at
hand, prepared himself for the rush for
mourning goods, sure to follow that
sad and untoward event, by buying
large quantities of goods suitable for
mourning and rushing to the dye mills
for proper preparation much of his
stock then on hand. The consequence
away this merchant prince sold goods
by the hundreds of thousands OF
pounds, while other London merchants
were vainly endeavoring to meet an
emergency, plainly indicated, that they
had carelessly failed, nevertheless, 10
prepare for.
There is nothing in the least that
smacks necessarily of the grewsome in
II is very likely story. At first blush
there may appear to be something a
trifle uncanny in. the discounting of a
PERSONS death, as this merchant did
the kings; and yet he merely met
natural conditions as he found them,
and acted intelligently upon them, and
achieved result highly creditable to
his business judgment and discern
ment. In England 1t has long been an
established custom to purchase insur-
ance on the life Of the sovereign. Why
should not an American go this idea
one better, so to speak, and seek g.
legitimate profit in the passing away
of a public figure of first Importance
and whose passin@ away he could in no
wise prevent?-Washingto Herald.
o
THE FORM OF GOVERNMENT.
1t is impossible to say that this or
that system of government is the best,
for the system must be viewed in con-
nection with time. What is a good
system today Kaay be a very bad sy:-
tenn tomorrow, everything depending,
as it does. on the personnel of those IN
authority. Mayor Gaynor as an alb
eolute despot would doubtless give New
York a better government than he can
give 1t with the limited powers he en-
Joys, and yet to grant him extraordl-
nary powers would be simply to pave
the way for governmental outrages
later on, either by him or his successor,
as the case might be-
1t is altogether probable that highly
centralized government is more ef-
ficient than a decentraltzed one so TAR
as the Undertaking of great works Is
concerned, but the latter lives and the
former soon decays, as has been de-
cisiyeIv shown in the history Of many
nations. The United States under GEN.
tralization might accomplish more In
the next 80 years than it would accom-
plish in rs years In a decentranzed
form. but the life of the nation IN the
latter case would be much more endur-
ing than its life in the former case. AS
the old uhysiologies used to teach, 1t
does not pay to take too much oxygen
at once. There is such thing as go
ing ahead too fast.-Charieston NEWS
and Courier.

A SATURDAY SERMON.
=, Ponder thy path of thy feet, and let
thy ways be Established. Erove-bs "

th Ponder thy path Of thy feet, and let al
eny ways be established. Proverbs Iv:2s
like most OF the advice given by the
eruoite Solomon, that conveyed in the
above words is fraught with great
value to all men. and especially in
these times when pitfalls, innumerable.
are hidden in and along all the path
ways of human activity. This advice
Is being given daily by some one in the
terse expression Look before you
leap or as it was originally expressed
in this, form by Samuel Butler, the
English wit and poet, Look before ere
you leap" But even though it is on
every ones tongue, and everybody,
who stops to think, recognizes its
forcefulness, not much attention would
seem to be paid to it.
Probably 1t is safe conjecture to in
sist that the great majority of the
failures of life are, do to hasty AMI
ill-considered actions. If it were pos
sible to inquire into the causes of these
failures and the unhappiness, yes, mis-
cry In many cases, they bring, that
would be found to be the reason. There
can be no doubt about this. It is al
most apparent on all sides. Occasion
ally a man will rush head-long into
an undertaking with a desirable end
in view and without much knowledge
as to how he is going to reach ii. And
he will win out. But such occasions
are the glaring exceptions which ara
necessary to prove the rule. The fact
is, though, that the attainment of sue
cess in each and every endeavor gem
orally comes to those who ponder we'll
over the steps they are about to take
before they take them.
If more people would only realize
that in most of the important things
of life there is no re-tracing of steps,
perhaps they would be more careful
when they put their feet forward.
When a man or woman once starts on
his or her way in business or in matri-
mony he or she must go on until the
bright or bitter end. If failure comes,
particularly in the field of business,
another start can be made but the
valuable time which has been lost, can
not in most instances be made up. 1t
is So much time and energy wasted al
though the experience gained is not
without its worth. Too many people,
however, refuse to profit by experience.
Once they start in making false steps,
they are apt to keep on making them.
and each one is little worse than the
one which went before.
1t doesn't seem as easy to go the right
way as 1t does the wrong way, but it
is as a matter of fact, If there is d
disposition so to do. 1t involves the
most careful consideration of every
step that is taken. every move that is
made. There is another translation
from the original Hebrew to the words
used for the text. or rather to the last
few of them. This makes them read:
Ponder the path of thy feet. and all
thy ways shall be ordered Alright" IT
seems to convey more clearly the re-
suit that is sure to be obtained if there
is looking before leaping.

Iondon's Modesty.

London holds itself rigidly aloof
from rivalry with the great cities of
the continent. 1t permits Berlin and
Paris to boast of their attractions in
order to lure the American tourist;
for itself, it seems content to say:
Here I am, the greatest city in the
world, with unrivaled museums and
picture galleries, not to mention tall
ors and dressmakers. Come and see
me If you want to, but if you don't
want towel, I dare say I'll be able
to get along without you.''
Berlin and Paris now are in open
competition. Berlin thinks it is a
more fascinating city than Paris, and
it intimates that it's night life is far
and away more alluring than Paris 8.
1t boasts that some of its all-night res
taurants don't take down the shut
tiers until midnight, while Paris, ex-
cepting a few places on the Mont
martre, is yawning sleepily at in
the morning an drinking of going to
bed. Berlin's white light district is
at that hour just beginning to get into
its stride, and it's gait shows no sign
of tagging until long after sunrise.
Paris, despite the modernness of
Berlin and its nocturnal brilliancy,
continues to be the Mecca of Ameri-
cans, men and women. Berlin's shops,
of course, cannot compare with those
of Paris, although its restaurants and
beer halls are in many details the
equal of those of Paris. Until Berlin
creates another Rue de la Paix it will
remain behind Paris in it's attractions
for the American woman and her
daughter. Excepting Fifth avenue,
there is no other street in the world
that so appeals to the imagination of
the American woman.-Indianapo
