British Labor Situation.

The somewhat involved labor situa-
ton in Great Britain has complicated
political issues. Since the last parlia-
ment adjourned many injunctions
have been issued against trade unions.
The courts have enjoined twelve of the
larger trade unions affiliated with the
labor representation committee from
using any of their funds for political
purposes. Other injunctions will have
been issued before the reassem bling
of parliament and the government has
a chance to make an announcement
of its policy toward unions in this
critical period of their history. All
these injunctions have been based on
the decision of the house of lords
handed down in December last, in
what is known as the Osborne case. A
porter named Walter Victor Osborne,
at one of the London stations of the
Great Eastern Railway company. ask
ed the courts to restrain the Amalga-
mated Society of Railway Servants
from spending any of it's funds or
making levies on any of its members
for political purposes. The judg-
ment of the house of lords was adj
verse to the union. This decision, if
it stands, will radically alter the con-
ditions under which the British trade
unions, since 1868, have managed
their finances and taken their attitude
toward political parties. In their
freedom to use such funds as they
saw fit, the British trade unions had,
prior to the rendering of the decision
in question, occupied a distinctive po-
sition among all labor organizations
of Europe, a position of which they
have always been very proud.-Amer-
lean Review of Reviews.

AIoNGER SCHOOL YEAR.

In the current issue of the Silent
Partner that intensely interesting lit
tie publication which halls from
Cleveland, Leonard w. Smith, its edi-
tor, takes up the advocacy of q longer
school year in the public educational
institutions. He presents some facts
and figures, which would be patent to
everyone if they stopped to give the
matter any attention. And with them
he shows that if public schools were
kept open the year round, on the pres
ent basis of five days a week, it
would be possible for the average
pupil to complete his grammar school
education in six years where it now
takes eight. Wouldn't this be a great

the grammar school? These children
could get two years of high school
education in the same time it now
takes them to go through the grammar
schools. More than that, if many of
them who do not now enter the high
school, as Mr.. Smith points out, be-
cause their parents believe they will
not be able to send them for the whole
four years, could finish high school
work by the time they are sixteen
years old, thousands of parents would
be willing to support their children for
the extra two years in order to give
them the advantages of an excellent
education.
AS Mr.. Smith shows, of the eight
years now devoted to grammar school
work, only about half the time is spent
by the pupils in going to school, The
| average school year is IS weeks of five
days each, which makes 100 days of
schooling out of the 365 in a year Il

FROA O7EER PENS
WHEN CLARK rs sPEAKER

WHEN CLARK IS SPEAKER.
The news comes from Washington
that the power of the speaker will be
curtailed in the next congress.
Cannonism was an Issue in the last
campaign; Cannonism must go; that is
the argument.
Now the campaign is over, why try
to fool the country longer with such
humbug?
with Beveridge defunct Cummfns
scared, Pinchot gasping, Roosevelt
stricken and Garfield dumb, why
should even an Insurgent go on talk
ing moonshine?
If Champ Clark be the next speaker
he will conduct the office virtually as
Cannon did before him and Reed did
before both. Why? Because, under
modern conditions, it is the only way
possible to conduct the office.
We make the prediction. here and
now, that when the Democratic party
in the house has to face squarely the
responsibility of getting the bushes
of government attended to 1t will give
the speaker, in one way or another, the
same powers that were given Reed and
Cannon, and that the Democratic
speaker will exercise them as they
have been exercised for years.
For the system so boisterously at
tackled as Cannonism is no special Gre
alton of one despotic personality. 1t
is a natural growth-the evolution of
q century of experience in legislation
for an enormous country.

we're rules and a powerful speaker the
house would spend a large part of its

this. It is a light head that can't
understand what happened on Tues
day.
The Beverfdge school of b1ithering
idiocy is dead. Even the incurable In
surgents ought to see that. But if they
don't, what's the difference? The
Democrats see it. act accordingly, and

seen that by running the schools $50
days a year, the time required to go
through the grades would be reduced
to six years. Thus would two full
years be gained for going to high
school
This longer school year does not
meet with the approval as yet of the
great mass of teachers and educators.
Mr.. Smith thinks that conservatism is
the main opponent of the idea. He be-
lieves, however, that the longer school
year and the shorter educational period
as a whole is bound to come about, and
he argues why as follows:
'It will come because it is in the d.
rection Of efficiency. The long vaca-
ton discrepancies the schools in many
ways. After vacation discipline is al
most at zero and must be built up
again. The children find it difficult TO
settle down to study and work after
fourteen weeks of ropming and play
ing. Forgotten teaching has to be re-
viewed so that pupils may be able to
connect new teaching with the old
foundations for 1t. The long vacation
idea is bad for teacher and pupil, and
1t is bad for parent and taxpayer. The
public schools of America represent dn
investment Of hundreds Of millions OF
dollars-yet they are used only half
time. The result is that most cities are
behind their requirements in buildings,
all the time If the longer school year
were adopted and arranged SO that the
brightest pupils could complete their
schooling in six years of continuous
attendance, the present school build
ings and the same number of teachers
would be able to handle many more
pupils than they do now. The billiards
would not set the pace"

FIN OF VICTORY.

There's a heap of satisfaction
In a trouble If you grin,
If you keep your nerve in action
And you wear a lifted chin.
There's a joy in doing something
That you've never done before,
So don't be a deaf and dumb thing,
Chance is knocking at your door.
Down and out, there's fun IN rising,
Fun in facing heavy odds,
Doing deeds that are surprising,
And the happy fellow plods,
PIods along and huns a ditty
AS he journeys down the street
OF the busy, gold-mad city,
TIL he's back upon his feet.
It's in overcoming trouble
That a fellow gets his fun;
It's in SCATTERING the bubble
That Is labeled cant be DONE
It's in striving night and day time
When the problem hopeless seems,
Man appreciate his playtime
When he's realized his dreams
There's a heap of satisfaction
In trouble If you grin,
Difficulties have attraction
If you keep a lifted chin,
And the harder that your fight is
Then the greater is your fun,
And the finer your delight is
AS you view the things you've done.

TRYING FOR A LooPHoLE.

what is a conspiracy as 1t relates
to offense against the government?
That is a question which the federal
government is asking the United States
supreme court, through the department
of justice. It seems that the supreme
court has never made a ruling on the
relation of the statute of limitations to
conspiracies such as those covered by
the Sherman antitrust act. Two prom
inent citizens of Eau Claire, Wis, are
seeking to avoid trial on the charge Of
having conspired to defraud the gov
eminent of large tracts of timber land
in Idaho on the plea that the statute
of limitations releases them from La
bility. The case is now before the SUI
preme court for review.
A similar situation exists in cases
arising from the attempt Of the Sugar
Trust to drive the Pennsylvania Sugar
Refining company out of business. The
question of the legal nature of a con-
spiracy will also be of Importance in
the dissolution suits against the Stand
ard Oil company and the Tobacco
Trust.
This is only another illustration of
the tactics employed by trust lawyers
to enable offending corporations 20
evade the intent of the law. The gov
eminent has made good progress in en-
forcing the Sherman act, but there may
be loopholes still through which the
escape of the guilty is possible.-Cleve-
land Leader.
