DRESSED FOR EASTER.
Popular Clothing House Dons Easter
Garb for Anniversary.

A visit to the home of the Arm
strong Clothing Co. these days will
bring delight to the visitor because of
the beautiful decorations donned in
observance of the great Christian an
niversary-Easter. The design is
Japanese and has been carried out
with wealth of detail that is as ar
tistic as it is novel Japanese wis
terra vines in full bloom predominant
draped over Japanese arches and
lighted by electric lights placed in
Japanese lantern effects. The subdued
lights and the soft coloring of vines
and flowers are exquisite. In the rear
is huge panoramic scene from the,
Land of Cherry Blossoms.
1t required artistic ability of high
merit to carry out the design to the
extent that has been achieved, and the
result is credit to the designer and
a big drawing card for the ever pop
ular clothing house.

culous? Here is this Chicago scheme,
for instance, of having all union men
withdraw their deposits from the
banks in order to help out
the Philadelphia strike. To the un-
sophisticated and unframed mind of
the editor of this labor paper that ap-
pears about as foolish as boring a
hole in the bottom of the boat to let
the water out. 1t appears foolish for
two reasons-each reason depending
upon the point of view.
First, if the union men of the coun-
try have on deposit enough money to
cut any appreciable figure in case it
is withdrawn, it would simply mean
that the withdrawal would paralyze
business, and in the paralysis of bust
ness the wage earners are the first,
last and worst sufferers.
Second, if the volume of their de-
posits is not large enough to cut any
appreciable figure, the withdrawal
thereof would simply make the unions
and union workers appear ridiculous.
If this paper had to choose between
the horns of this dilemma it would dig
a can OF worms and go fishing.
We think the sympathetic strike in
Philadelphia was tactical error. We
contend that the sympathetic strikers
had right to strike, providing they
were not bound by contract, but it is
not always wise to assert right. To
our mind it would have been better
had the sympathetic strikers remained
at work, devoting goodly share of
their wages to supporting the street
railway strikers and fighting the inn
ported "scabs.' But, in the name OF
common sense, how will drawing the
deposits of union workers out of the
banks help the cause of organized
labor? What's the matter with drop
and equally foolish action, and get
ting down to brass tacks? The great
est curse of labor is not the oppression
of capital-it is the ignorance of labor
more if we are ever to meet capital on
fair fighting ground. And when we get
sense enough we'll begin voting to-
gether instead of scattering like fright
ened sheep every election day. That's
where capital gets the best of us-at
the ballot box. The day we go to the
polls as solidly united as the capital
lists are at the polls, that day will
mark the emancipation of the toilers
But withdrawing our deposits from
the bank! Pish! Also tush.

LABOR TEMPLE DIRECTORS.
All But Three Forgot That There is
Business to Transact.


The directors of the Labor Temple
Association were due to meet last
Monday evening. Every director knew
it-but there were only three who
showed up. AS a result there was no
meeting. There were too few a week
ago to transact business.
That sort of thing will not make
the association a success. The men
who have accepted the important po-
unions to keep the faith-to meet the
responsibilities entrusted to them.
Doubtless some of the directors had
reasonable excuses for non-attendance
Monday night, but it is doubtful if
eleven out of the fourteen members
had.
There is no use mincing words
the business of the association must
be attended to, promptly. The re-
sponsibiIity resting upon the directors
is grave, and duty demands action.
The board is due to meet again next
Monday evening, and as there has
been no business transacted for three
weeks, it is imperative that there be
a good working quorum present. AS
matter of fact, there are mighty near
$1,000 reasons why the directors ought
to get busy and keep busy.

Birmingham. Eng, December L.
The American ambassador, Whitelaw
Reid, to-day delivered an address be-
fore Birmingham University on Abra-
ham Lincoln, closing the course which
has been in progress on 1.-THE Makers of
History in the Nineteenth Century"
Mr.. Reid spoke from personal ac-
quaintance n close familiarity with
the career of the great American
statesman. His address was notable In
clearing away many of the popular
misrepresentation concerning Lincoln.
Mr.. Reid referred to the emancipation as
not in the least a simple-minded rus
tic or a professional reformer. but,
on the contrary, an ardent partisan and
a master hand In the intricacies of the
game of politics. Although personally
modest and sensitive. Lincoln was pic
tured as being from his earliest man
hood a persistent ofice-seeker and the
most ambitious of men.
Mr.. Reid dwelt upon Lincoln's abili-
ties as a story-teller. maintaining that
with all his wit and humor he was not
perpetuclly telling humorous n some
times risque stories In the White House.
The ambassador said tina for every
story told by Lincoln while President
a hundred poorer and coarser stories
have been fathered on him. Mr.. Reid

COMMITTEE PLACES

Senator Martin. of Virginia, n CT
the Oldest in point of service of the
Democratic Senators, likely Will get
one of the vacancies. Senator'S Charlie.
of Arkansas; Overman, of North Caro-
lima, and Stone, of Missouri, are mel
toned in connection with the others.
senator Simmons. of North Carolina. is
a member OF the finance COMMITTEES,
and there Is a possibility that he may
land on appropriations. Although one
of the newer members of the Senate.
Senator Chamberlain. of oregon, is
highly thought of and may get one OF
the places. All three of tho late Sena-
tors held minority chairmanshtps. ana
their successors are likely to be chosen
when the slate of minority committee
assignments is made.
AS the chairmanships are usually
| chosen by seniority, 1t Is likely that
| Senator Stone will become chairman
of the committee on transportation and
sale OF meat products to succeed Sena-
tor McEnery; Senator Johnson will ad-
vance to the head OF the committee On
woman's suffrage. where Senator Cay
| stood, and Senator jeff Davis. of Ar
kansas, will be appointed chairman OF
the committee on private land claims
to succeed Senator Daniel.
The Democratic steering committee
held a meeting yesterday to discuss
the vacancies, and though no dennlte
action was taken, 1t Is believed that
this lineup will be followed. Hope Is
%springing up in the breasts OF the
Democrats that they will follow up the
House victory with one in tho Senate

the vacancies will be the gamers.

said that this sacred name of Lincoln
should not be taken as "a convenient
decoration for some popular humorist
and tokesmith by trade; so to regard
him was 1.-THE last indignity from the
sentimental school. which he distrusted
in life and which thus belittled his
b~lood-earned laurels."
Mr.. Reid traced the career of Lincoln
from his earliest pioneer days and
dwelt at length upon the final stages
of his career during and at the conclu-
sion of the Civil War. He summed up
his estimate as follows:
you nave rightly selected him as
the chief American maker of history
In the nineteenth century. The world
long ago chose another as our chief
maker of history for the eighteenth
century. / venture to think George
Washington and Abraham Lincoln no
inferior to any sons of the race born
in these centuries, under any skies
nay. more. I venture to think that in
the whole long and glorious history
of that race, while its history was ours
as well as yours. they have never beer
