The ATTEMPTED revolution In Belgium
is of all recent movements of the KIND
perhaps the most obscure and compi-
Gated in It's causes and circumstances,
and the most paradoxical We are told
that it is a religious strife; yet all Bel
CLANS. at least nominally, belong to one
religion. and religious tolerance and lib
ertv are complete. We are told that 1t
has TO do with education; yet public
education Is free and universal We are
told that It is due to unfair and unequal
suffrage yet for nearly score OF years
universal suffrage has prevailed. In
some respects the troubles doubtless
arise from all of these causes, ana IN
addition from the old and apparently
ineradlcable luminosity between the
Flemings and the Walloons-that Is to
say, between Tcutons and Celts; an I'M
memorial feud.
In race the people are pretty evenly
divided, the Flemings being In a small
majority. In religion they are all noml-
nally Roman Catholics, but IL may be
assumed tnaL the HulllciouS ''''"'''''
have repudiated that Church and Indeed
all churches, and are now contehding
for complete secularization or the
schools. Education is universal, free
and compulsory. though 1t cannot be Ell
cient, since Of the population above seven
years Of age more than one-iifth cannot
read and write. The school trouDie
arises from the fact that there Is dual
system of schools, secular and clerical
and each commune decides for ltseli
which 1t will have: and the Socialists
contend that all clerical schools should
be supported-by the Church a.2ne, whlie
the Clericals insist that they should DE
supported by the State just as the secu-
lar schools are, since they are doing the
work Of the latter and are lnder tue

The controversy over the francnise

REGLNNING Its WORh

With the meeting of the national COM
mittee Yesterday the work of the ma
tional convention Of 1912 began. the
committee has before it the unenviaple
task of passing upon the contested tltleS
of about $50 delegates-nearly quarter
Of the conventions membership. mat
unwelcome responsibility has been
thrust upon the governing board OF the
national organization by the lax usaSes
Of the past which have tolerated the
wholesale fabrication of credentials by
factionists representing nobody nut
themselves. In one commonwealth,
where S,95S votes were cast for Repup-
lican electors in 1905 and 5.34l FOR Re-
publican candidates for Congress in
| 1910. there are three separate factions
each claiming the right to speak Tor
the Republicans of the state. The ma
tional committee must exercise the deli
cate and thankless duty of saying which
claimants have the most acceptable
primG fdcie titles. and in exercising tnat
| necessary function it may subject itsel1
TO much undeserved criticism and com
plant.
1t is lamentable fact that the Re-
publican national organization has not
protected itself against gross abuses OF
| the power of representation In many
states. But the national committee can
not be held to blame because such a
condition exists. Past conventions should
have acted more declSively to stamp
out the evil Of frivolous and impudent
contests. Since they failed To do so the
present national committee must under
| take an unpleasant task of political
housekeeping. The party is confident
that 1t will do the work thoroughly and
Justly. for never in the past has q
national committee. whatever the per
sonal inclinatiOns and preferences of its
members, failed to make an equitable
| decision on questions of title or one
which a convention has not cheerfully
| Endorsed.
! However sharp may he the differences
of opinion between committeeman and
delegates over the availability of candi'
dates for the Presidential nomination
| the underlying feeling at Chicago IS that
the integrity and efficiency of the Re
publican party must be preserved. De.
spite partisan clamor it is possible to
avoid occurrences which would put q
breaking strain on party unity. The
Republican organization Of 1912 is still
capable of orderly self-government and
still eager to do what will best serve
both the party and the country.

"HEAps WE WIN, TAILS YOU LOSE

"REA DS WE WIN, TAILS YOU LOSE"
The attempt Of the anthracite coal
monopolists to recoup themselves, and
much more, for all their losses through
strikes and otherwise by increasing the
cost to the public of their indispensable
commodity is quite in accord with for
mer practices and with the proverbial
saying that "the public always pays"
We must doubt its wisdom and pru-
dence. however, as a matter Of economic
principle and as an example which is
bound to be much studied and which
may some time be cited to the great dis
advantage not only of the coal COM
panies but also Of many other corpora
lions For it is nothing less than the
practical reputation Of an argument
which times beyond number has besn
put forward in support of the capitalistic
system against the attacks Of socialism.
1t has been argued that If capital does
reap large share Of the profits of the
labor of it's employees it also bears all of
the losses which may befall the bust
ness. When employees demand q share
or a larger share in the profits Of the
business they are met with the pertinent
question whether they are ready also to
share the losses of bad seasons and un.
profitable ventures. 1t is urged that il
would be most inequitable for the EN-
ployes TO get all the profits OF good sea-
SONS or good undertakings and for the
employers to bear all the losses Of bad
ones. That argument seems 10 us per-
tineDt and forceful, provided that it is
supported by the facts Of economic and
industrial practice. But 1t must be con.
fessed that the present policy of the coal
miners, as exposed In the columns of
The Tribune, does not support that ar.
gument. but rather tends TO quash it as
null and void.
For these corporations are apparently
trying 10 escape loss altogether by sad
ding II upon the public. Tie recent
