A Rosv Reioinder.

A too convivially inclined young
clubman was introduced at reception
last week to n clever society woman
whom he understood in some hazy
fashion to be great artist. She was
not an artist, nor had she ever made
any attempt to be. But the young
man, whose wits were apt to go wool
gathering at times. thought she was.
And he was very anxious to make
sufficiently pretty speech TO her.
He murmured the usual convention
alitics when he was presented, and
"You paint. don't you? SO many peo-
pie have told me about it," he then
said ingratiatlngly.
The young woman stared at him,
looked him severely In the eyes. let her
glance fall on every feature of his
perplexed face, glared her Indignation
and then she spoke:
"If | do" she remarked icily. Eat
least ! don't make mistake and put
it on my nose."--Phladelphia Times.

IN REVOLT
Spectacular Uprising of

Bloodshed.
Conditions Said to be Much
Like Those in France Pre-

Revolution.

Detroit. Mich. Aug. 19.-Great
Britain is on the verge of social and
economic revolution, according to the
Rev. William Byron Forbush, pastor
of the North Woodward Congregation
al church and widely known as a stu
dent of social conditions. here, today.
He has just returned from study
of conditions in England which have
eliminated in the spectacular uprising
of capital against labor and believes
that conditions there now are much
the same as those in France immedi-
ately preceding the bloody French
revolution.
Class caste, monopoly of the land
by the nobility and lack of education-
al opportunities for the poor are the
three great causes of unrest. he as
serts. The peerage control the land.
ne says, and the product is spent In
luxurious living rather than devoted
to more product. The line between the
classes is well marked, he holds, and
tends to retard the development from
lower levels. Trade and manual
training Is lacking in the schools, says
the minister.

London, Aug. 19.-Fifteen thousand
women factory strikers, most of whom
have been out for weeks, today won
their strike.
Most of the firms involved granted
increased wages and recognition Of
the union. The condition of the wo-
men strikers was pitiful. Their lead
er, May Macarthur, declared that
most OF them were facing starya-
tion but that they held out heroically
to the last.
ITS step away from the bread
line, that's ALL" said the leader, to-
day. "Our women fought n glorious
fight. With empty stomach and fam
ished children they never wavered and
now with recognition of the union for
the first time we expect to accomplish
great Improvement in working con-
ditions and better wages. This VIC
tory is but the first step in our fight

Alaska should at once be acquired
by the government"
The government should own and
operate at least one great coal mine,
TO supply its naval and military
needs and to sell the surplus at a
reasonable profit, as n check against
extortlon by private corporations de-
veloping other mines.
"The sensible and practical thing
to do is to create board of public
works for Alaska, similar to the
isthmian canal commission.
What it Would DO.
This board should then under
take. not merely to build railroad
fromsController bay to the coal fields.
but should acquire all of the
railroad in Alaska and settle at once

PEACE-A FEW MONTHS AFTER.

EFORE the ~sxty-frst Congress passed out in March, President
Taft launched a movement for worldwide peace. 1t was well
- received. Two arbitration treaties were drawn in conformity
with IL, and last Sunday the nations pulpits lent it their voice.
When Mr.. Taft sends his message to the Sixtysecond Congress
. fortnight hence, and summarizes our relations with other countries,
be must report that things began to break loose about as soon az no
undertook to clamp them. Mexico wa convulsed by a revolution
which ousted Dmz after a generations tenure. France and Germany
engaged in q game Of menacing buster in Morocco, and England had
100000 troops ready to intervene. Out of it issued a bargain which
carries . French protectorate over Morocco and the first steps in q
new partition Of Africa that brings the German Kamerun in contact
with Belgian Congo and anticipates the day when Germany shall
claim an African empire incorporating the Congo state and fronting
on both oceans Italy made q sudden raid on Tripol, and did ruth
lesLy there. In China, revolution cast into the melting pot the polti-
cal arrangements Of more than a quarter Of the worlds inhabitantA-
and again the Cossacks are astir in Manchuria. A futile counter
revolution began in Persia, and under its cover Russia threatens to
occupy two provinces.
The President can report that since he made peace his theme
war has shaken the strongest Latin-American state, ended the sway
Of Islam in North Africa, convulsed the two oldest empires OF the
East, menaced Europe, and by q mere threat Of itself changed the
fate Of Africa. He can report that his own hand sent an army corps
10 the Rio Grande, his own voice declared amid the thunders Of an
American fleet stronger than all others save one that we need more
cruisers, more golfers, more destroyers.
Mr.. Taft has cried Peace, Peace, and there is no peace. Deplor-
able, but the fact
