THE BROOKLYN BRIDGE PASSING. =

THE BROOKLYN BRIDGE PASSING. -
1t seems that the expenditure of
fourteen million of dollars to give its
important suburb Brooklyn what was
regarded as a permanent thorough
fare, has begun to show that inexor-
able law that all of mans handiwork
must pass away. That it has been SUBJ
jected to strain nevercontemplated by
its designer, only emphasizes the ne
cessity OF Immediate provision for still
further wear from increase of traffic.
1t is now being reinforced at many
points, both to provide for the nor
NAL strain as well as possibly future
requirements.

No APPARENT INCENrIvE-It does
not seem at all surprising that rich,
consequently high-toned, Yale Sem
iors, have entered the list personally
to end the walters strike of people
who are dependent upon their own
industry for living, and that 40 of
these Seniors handled hash, as they
contemptuously called it, to deprive
them OF their places. This is another
instance of the latest feeling of the
upper-ten for the lower-five when
ever occasion offers, even when no
reasonable incentive appears.

Communicating.

1t was about time that such giddy
whir!s as the Grizzly Bear" the
- Turkey Trot, Salome. o." Python
Glide. "Bonny Hug" and like cap
ers, which seem to have given license
to all sorts of familiarities under the
scanty garb OF propriety, should re-
ceive the condemnation OF the Inter-
national Masters of the Dancing Asso-
citation. The wonder is that society
extended a fervent embrace to the
lascivious custom and it is said that
even sensible parents allowed their
daughters to enter the thoughtless
crowd. Byron's description of the
waltz even when stripped OF all these
modern accessories. is sufficient to
cause the blush of shame to mantle
the face of Innocence, but step by step
the growth of familiarity has lessened
the limits which should always be
maintained between the sexes.
The origin of the craze in the 10-cent
dance halls, should have afforded an
inseparable barrier to its introduction
in the homes and halls patronized by
pure and decent people, for dancing
became no longer an art, but the
means of an excitement that invari-
ably if INDUCED in leads to abandon.
1t is G matter of congratulatiOn
that the 10Th annual convention of
the International Masters should take
this decided step in destroying this
deadly upas, root and branch, before
it further contaminates by appeal to
natural passions that lie at the foun-
dation of decency and self-respect.

The Fool Taxpayer.

Frank S. Regain. Of the Illinois
Tax Reform Association. delivered q
very entertaining and instructive
address, Wednesday night, in the
y. NJ. c. \. basement. to small
but appreciative audience. His sub
iect was The Fool Taxpayer, and
he certainly opened the eyes OF his
hearers to many matters of para
mount Importance, if true, and fully
exemplified the truth of his text,
in as much as that no apparent effort
has been, or is being. made, to dis
cover that the poor man is carrying
the heavier end of the tax-load. His
array of figures showed that many
millionaires paid little tax, and some
none at all, which he represented on
his diagram sketches of citizenship
by the figure 0; that the single firm
of Marshall, Field & Co., had been
discovered in this delinquency and
made to pay sl,7O0,0O0 back taxes,
that had been due many years; that
this delinquency of other wealthy
men amounted to over SO, 900, 900,
in that single city. as an example.
These capitalists, and their allies,
run all political conventions, and
their efforts are more directed to-
wards concealing these unfortunate
conditions than the advocacy Of the
welfare OF our country from worthy
impulses. A convention now in SEES
sion at Chicago, was referred to as
an evidence of how the might OF
money and moneyed men, is being
directed towards the perpetuation OF
a party that has been for half cen
fury maintaining this ruinous policy,
from which the multi-milIionaire
party was formed and OF which it is
still in control. 1t is matter of re-
greet that people do not avail them
selves of such opportunities for in
struction.

the Priscillas, Abigails and Nancys

sung. The prayer of the members
for the return of their lost youth
were answered finally by the arrival
of an agent with patent elixir of

uproar.

WHERE DOES LOGIC LEAD Us?-
1t seems that the release of Peter
Gillette on bond of $500, for ap-
pearance to answer charge of in
suit to young girl of this city, is
based upon an. allegation of the de-
PENDANT S attorneys that the circum-
stances are not of an aggravated ma
ture and that the defendant had been
on protracted spree and was there
fore irresponsible. The two points
submitted appear to reverse the u.s.
ual order and establish as the fact of
procedure-that there may be de-
grees of insult, and that drunken
ness mitigates responsibility for d
crime. So if this be the rule that is
to obtain. wink, q smile, or other
approach to familiarity, is not con-
sidered aggravated, and therefore
harmless, unless followed by more
overt acts, and all a man has to do
to follow up is to get a jag on
when responsibility ceases.

1t VII bee iye years the first day
Of neXt Juiv, that the organization
known as the Industrial Workers OF
the World was born in Chicago amid
much contention 1t soon split into
factions, one Of which embraced the
Western Federation Of Miners which
later ceased to affiliate with the par
ent organization.
Shortly after the formation of this
organization. the STANDARD recog
nizcd, from the zeal and enthusiasm
coupled with the rough-edged meth
DDS of some Of the leaders, it would
sooner or later cause the employers
OF labor in this country, and perhaps
elsewhere, a great deai of trouble and
SO announced in our columns. all of
which has come to pass and even
more.
These |. ". VS. have threatened
the very existence Of the Old craft
trade unions in many localities, also
menaces the well-being of the Social
ist party, and makes any amount OF
trouble for the wage-earners who are
apparently satisfied with their Jobs.
The agitators in behalf of this cult
contend that all wage-earners and
laborers must organize themselves
into one big union, make the injury
or warfare of each member the con-
Germ of all the unionists, and strike
as unit in order to enforce their
demands against the employing class.
1t is not advisable to ignore any
longer the purposes and propaganda
of this association. 1t is a near re-
lation to Syndicalism, in France and
England, and in not a few of the
colonies. The propaganda has now
reached the stage that the matter
has been taken up by Columbia
College, an advanced institution of
learning located in the East. More
over, the press and magazine writer's
feel duty-bound to give this new
phase of unionism consideration.
The Oregonian has seen fit to call the
members Il Won't Workers" True
many of them, particularly the agi-
tators are not looking for jobs, but
devise methods for causing discon-
tent and troubles especially, where
large bodies of men are employed.
The leaders claim that this organ
ization is Industrial, and not POLITICAL
as large percentage of membership
are foreigners who cannot vote, and
are more concerned with the methods
, and conditions in shops, factories
and mines, than our governmental
system.
| If, however, the members resort
to sabotage, they will not only
weaken their own organization, but
strengthen that of their adversaries
Gustave Herve, the Frenchman,
, who is now in prison for advocating
sabotage, now admits the superior
ity of the tactics of the German com
rades. Force proves nothing. 1t is
at best beggarly element, unjusti
fable; save as a matter of defense
respecting the invasion of individual
rights, and even then has its limita
tons.

STIMSON SEES HEADS
Of NATIONAL GUARD
Plans for Utilizing Militia in
Case of Trouble With
Mexico Discussed.

The War Department is taking meas
ures to impress the National Guard into
service with view to moving it into
Mexico the moment Intervention becomes
necessary. This fact may be denied at
the War Department. but it is regarded
as absolutely true.
Friday high officers Of the National
Guard of eleven states arrived in Wash
ington in obedience to summonses from
Secretary Stimson. More are coming
later.
They were usually adjutant generals.
but in some cases officers Of lesser rank
responded to the summons. One or two
were commanding generals.
These officers We're summoned singly
and came singly. There was no con-
ference. Most of them came from the
south. which is the region likely to be
but they came from as far north as
Massachusetts,.
Asked Many Questions.
Each of them was asked how soon
and under what circumstances his state
could furnish men to the government
for service in Mexico. what equipment
and what supplies it had ready, and to
what extent the War Department would
have to be drawn upon for further
equipment In several cases the officers
interviewed made an immediate requisi-
ton upon the War Department for sup
plies. and the requisition was immedi-
ately started on it's way through the
usual channels.
One officer, for instance, made a requi-
sition upon Secretary Stimson for 140
field wagons, $50 sets of harness and
eleven ambulances.
In addition to the eleven who were here
Friday, two came yesterday, Adjt. Gen.
Weybrecht Of Ohio and Adjt. Gen. Stew
art of Pennsylvania. Maj. Gen. Edward
Young. commander of the Illinois Ma
tional Guard. is on his way here and will
be at Secretary Stimsons Office tomorrow.
Others who went to the War Depart
ment in obedience to the summons were
from Massachusetts, Connecticut. North
Carolina and Alabama. Who the rest
were cannot be ascertained, but nearly
all of them were from the south. In the
last Mexican war about 10000 volunteers
were mustered in. and threefourths were
from southern states.
