food was good; the lights were bright;

Especial Correspondence OF The Argus.)
Cordova, Feb. 13.-The thousands Of
men who are employed in the govern
ment arsenals and navy yards, and
many other thousands who are mem
bers Of labor organizations, are busy
these days trying to figure out what
the Taft administration meant when
the announcement was made that Sec
rotary Of War Stimson was appointed
to his present place because he was
a progressive"
The "progressives"-if by that term
is meant such men as La Toilette and
Cummins, and Congressman Murdoch
and Norris-have always advocated
fairness for the working men. Their
whole program has been based on the
promise of better treatment and better
pay for workers, in whatever line of
industry. Their complaint against the
high tariff was that it enabled the
trusts to gouge consumers without a
corresponding benefit to their own
workmen.
STRONG ON TAYLOR SYSTEM.
Stimson, a much advertised pro
gressive," has made his administration
of the war department conspicuous by
the advocacy of the Taylor system,
which the arsenal and navy yard work,
ers say is designed to reduce the work.
ingmen of this country to condition
little short of slavery. The Rock Is
land Argus, which is published at the
seat Of the largest arsenal in the coun
try, has the following to say about the
efforts of Secretary Stimson to install
the Taylor system in the big Rock Is
land arsenal:

must be said that they are not to blame

The Spy HYsteria.

The New York World notes that
"As a climax to the series of arrests
of English spies in Germany and Ger
man spies in London, Bertrand Stew
art, well known London lawyer, has
been convicted Of espionage at Leip-
sic and sentenced to three and half
years confinement In fortress. The
case has aroused intense feeling in
England because the prisoner was
tried in secret and the evidence against
him is believed to have been of the
flimsiest sort.
Certainly II reputable members of
the London bar are taking up spying
as a sport or a patriotic duty, things
have come to pretty pass. 1t is time
for the kaiser to close the gates Of the
empire to all foreigners. The next
thing we shall hear will be that some
Heidelberg professor or Berlin orches-
ira conductor has stolen plans from
the secret files of The British war Of
fee. II only popular suspicious can
be sufficiently excited, there is no
crime against the national security
that any innocent looking person with
a strange accent may not be guilty Of
plotting II no such things as foreign
spies existed in Germany or England
it would be necessary for jingoism to
invent them.
There is an immense amount of
humbug in all this spy business. The
great powers have few real military
secrets that they keep from one an
other. Much is heard Of magical ex.
plosives. mysterious gun mechanisms
concealed coast defenses and hidden
engines of destruction that would I'm.
expectedly decide the fate of nations
in the time of war. II is to capture
these secrets that England and Ger.
many and France and Russia are sup,
posed to keep their neighbors' terri
tory flooded with spies.
Every fashionable resort, every wa
tering place, is thronged with them
and the daily mails are clogged with
letters and photographs and drawings
the spies have procured, bought or Dor
rowed. 1t is a fiction that a credulous
world insists upon believing and that
hysterical patriots take delight in cir
| culating."

The Great Contingency.

When the third international peace
conference shall meet at The Hague
in 1915 the new palace of peace will
be two years completed. Ii is to be
hoped that the delegates will find
installed there a court of arbitration
with permanent resident judges, rep
resentative of all nations, and that
long before the conference shall
have assembled there will have been
concluded between all the great pow
ers treaties of arbitration as binding
and as inclusive at least as those now
awaiting confirmation by the senate
The delegates would possibly then
be induced by events into a position
where the question of a reduction OF
ornaments might be taken up ser
iously.

Universal Topic.

Universal Topic.
We pay our respects to the weather.
It's either too hot or too cold:
In little, tense groups get together
And give It a well deserved scold
Its merits are seldom so striking
That 1t is not dubbed a misft-
It never is built to our liking,
Nor could we regard II a hit.
But some regard it's deserving
In spite of its faults and its flaws
A purpose it often comes serving
And so for existence has cause.
Without its small chapters OF anguish
How could we our fellow men stand?
For most conversation would languish
Were II not a topic at hand.
The man who is paying attention
To one only girl would be lost
Were there not the weather to mention
Until they had broken the frost.
He'd stumble and stammer and SHUTTER,
His brain as a steampipe would throb
Nor one single word could be utter
Were it not there on the job.
oh, yes, even weather has uses
II for them a search we would makei
We need 1t to frame up excuses
When we an engagement must break,
A measure of credit to hand it
And say a small word on its side.
However it comes, we can stand it
1t might be much worse II it tried.

Clark and Folk.

1t is pleasing to know that Messrs.
Clark and Folk have reached a work.
ing agreement in Missouri largely
through the effort of Colonel Bryan.
Here's the situation as the st. Louis
Republic views It:
"The settlement of the contest for
the Missouri delegation to the ma
tional democratic convention, coming
as it does by concessions on the part
OF the principals apparently honor
able to them both, cannot fail to be
highly gratifying to every democrat
in the state.
'If in any place disappointment is
felt and expressed over Mr.. Folks
withdrawal it must soon yield to the
reflection that it was wise, patriotic
ard necessary, in view of the rapid
growth of his competitors following
elsewhere. 1t was clear that Mis-
souri, was overwhelmingly for Clark.
Presidential preferences are apt
to develop quickly. A year and half
ago not many foresaw the distin-
gIished place which Champ Clark
was so soon to win for himself in ma
tional politics and in popular regard
throughout the entire country. Mis-
souri, likes him and is proud of him,
but in sense, his candidacy has
been forced upon the state, in spite
or certain complications, by the dem
oCrats of many other states.
Governor Folks assurance that
he and his friends will now rally to
the support of Mr.. Clark should have
a tendency to allay such bitterness
as has existed and to unite the party
too long torn by these dissensions
The former governors attitude is q
creditable one and it will rebound
20 his honor hereafter.

CURRENT COMMENT

for viewing with suspicion the adop-
ton of scheme for the regulation of
their labor against which the voice Of
labor everywhere has gone up in en-
phatic protest. The arsenal men are
not looking for an opportunity to pick
a fight with the government They do
not object to full days work for a
full days pay. They are not standing so
much in fear of immediate reduction
in wages as they are of the tendency,
and, as they believe, the purpose of
the Taylor system to place them in
bondage.
HIGHER GROUND DEMANDED.
They maintain that, regardless of
what may be the tendency of outside
employers, the government should
take higher ground and set the pace
for private employers. And they be-
lieve that such a pace should be Amer
lean and humane in its aims as well as
in methods of fixing the wage scale.
The men feel that the government
should assume that they are honest
men, willing and anxious to prove wor-
thy of their hire, and that, as self-re-
specting citizens, they have right to
protest against rules and regulations
which will place them in a certain
form of slavery. They declare that
where man cannot stop to get drink
Of water, or brush back the hair from
his eyes, or blow his nose, without &C.
counting for the instant thus taken
from his task, he becomes a slave.
They don't see why they should be
thus Inundated by such restricting and
exacting regulations, and for that rea-
son they oppose the system that the
secretary of war is seeking to impose,
not only upon them, but upon labor in
general"

Alaskan winter, tempered by the
Japanese current, to the cool sum
Der resorts OF Florida, the suspicion

No Mood of a substitute.

The prize contest in Chicago to Sc

when the time and occasion demand
one.
But what is the matter with the
anthem We have that so much zeal
