early ready to concede. Wages, hours,
sanitary conditions-all these could
speedily have been fixed to the mind of
the determined young women: but with
resolution which was heroic, even II
mistaken. they held out for the closed
shop. OF course they did not call it the
closed shop. What they thrust to the
front was the need of collective bargain
ing. And they made out a good argu-
ment for its application in their own
work. AS their pay Is fixed by the piece,
and as continually changing fashion
makes the definition of a 'piece'-say
a cuff or sleeve-as inconstant as the
moon, there was a peculiar reason, they
urged, for representative body to agree
with the foremen upon the basis OF
wages Otherwise these might 1uctuate
ntolerably. 1t would be hard for the
most inverterate critic of labor unions to
deny that here at least was a case where
an organization among the workers might
be a good thing both for them and for
the manufacturers. Instead of having to
deal with 5000 individuals separately, 1t
would be possible to settle everything for
all with an authorized committee.
Very good; but. unhappily, the matter
did not stop there. The strikers and their
influential friends and helpers passed on
speedily to the position that the work
should be done by nobody else; that they
had a vested right to the employment;
others seeking it were to be kept from
getting 1t, first, by persuasion second. by
denunciation as "scabs'' and enemies to
their class; finally, by methods trenching
on intimidation and violence. So 1t hap
pened that this unprecedented strike by
working girls, unprecedentedly supported
as it was by some of the wealthiest wo-
men of New York. soon took on much Of
the spirit which has made many labor
wars really synonymous with attacks on
the liberty OF the individual and on the
right to work as the worker may freely
contract
From the facts of this unusual and
most noteworthy strike clear direction
energies to those in doubt where their
sympathies shoull fall in any large IN
dustrial disturbance. We need never
stint our admiration of honest workers
striving to better themselves. To seek
to make labor valuable or to demand as
high price for it can be got. is both
lawful and commendable. Moreover,
when they make sacrifices for one an
other, or in behalf of their whole group,
they deserve praise and encouragement;
if they are clearly fighting against injus-
tice or oppression they may rtghtfully APP
peal for aid as we'll as applause. But
they must not in that act create other
classes more in need of sympathy than
themselves. They must not go about to
rob even their employers of freedom and
self-respect.
They cannot without a protest be per-
mitted to dictate terms of employment
so onerous to capital that it will take. to
itself wings and leave even less work to
be divided among willing and empty
hands. Nor must they, in forbidding
others to labor turn oppressors and mo-
nopolists themselves. When a strike goes

freedom and the rights of human nature
itself, sympathy with 1t is as much mis-

Many of our men, II is true, but most
of our women, allow the multiplying
cares and responsibilities incidental to the
tremendously artificial lives we lead. to

pressing effect that prolonged unhappi-
ness, grief or despair has on the health
and mind, and shows itself upon the
faces by weighing down the muscles, they
become fabby, the eyelids droop (some
become puffy, the lips. cheeks and lower

ton is ainly far more common in wo-
men than in men.
Especially is this true OF the mouth
which is said to be the most flexible and
expressive. as we'll the most human

There have been extraordinary strikes

quite like the demonstrations and efforts

embraced each other. Great ladies con-
sorted and conferred with working wo-

protests from sex in arms. The whole

such a flood of this kind of sympathy,

Analysis of the scholastic records
of the University of Washington for
the first half of the current college
year. shows that while athletic de-
bates and social activities attract
more publicity to our universities
than does the actual school work, the
scholastic standing is very high,
and our western institutions of learn
ing are rapidly taking rank with the
finest in the country. At Washing
ton the 1856 students took total of
5000 subjects. There were 4S3 fail
ures and ISL conditions. 1866 sub
jects we're fully qualified in, being
90 per cent OF the whole. Seventy
two per cent of the students qualified
in all their studies. In fact, schola-
site work is the foundation of our
colleges. and is being kept at a high
standard, although we don't read so
very much about it in the sensational
daily press.

A Menace to Public Health

The Anacortes American says:
"Health Officer DR.. Winston APP
peIby has caused notice to be print
ed warning all persons against dump
ing rubbish or offal in vacant lots or
along the waterfront. Many severe
infractions of the rules of the board
of health have occurred recently, and
DR.. Appelby declares that IT the
offenses are repeated arrests will fol-
low. Some of the persons who have
dumped garbage on vacant lots are
the authorities and if these offenses
against the public are not discontin
ued severe penalties will be applied.
The members of the city council have
discussed the matter with DIR. Appel
by, and mayor and council alike.
will stand by the health officer is
case prosecutions are necessary"
It would seem from the above that
the sanitary conditions at Anacortes
are very similar to those existing here
and some radical measure, if neces-
sary, should be taken here to lessen
the likelihood of typhoid fever cpl
demic before the warm weather sets
in. There are a number of places
about town that have been dumping
ground for all sorts of rubbish for
years. especially along the water
front. In addition to the menace to
public health it makes these places
unsightly and uninvitinR and creates
a bad impression in the minds of
nearly all who visit here. The coun-
ell has been doing some good work
and this little reminder may not be
necessary. as that body will no doubt
take steps to abolish this evil. but
there can be no harm in sounding a
note of warning. Trouble is sure to
come sooner or later unless these nui-
sances are abated.
The American further says:

the councilmen. "s person who will

"If the distributors of food sup

reckon in future.
cit was not so long ago that the

the thronging thoroughfares of the

''In times past statesmen and sue

phosis is not the result of any mater

lies in the fact that the West Is teach

departures, stage of perfection has
