CURRENT COMMENT

one result of this "elevating' process
in Lawrence, Mass, where men, WON
en- and children are met with bayonets
when they protest against cut of %
cents a week in their wages of Sc, 81
and So a week.
The "elevating" process is to be
seen, in the flower of its triumph, in
the steel trusts mills, where men are
forced to labor ~ hours week for
wages paid laborers in free trade Eng
land for Sc hours work.
"Elevating and dignifed," truly!
A BIG DIFFERENCE.
Millions for defense; not one cent
for tribute"
The American wooden trust spent
hundreds of thousands of dollars in
magazine advertising, the purpose of
which was to educate" the people
into seeing the justice of Schedule
"'K,'' and the way it is making sheep
raisers rich by paying big prices for
wool, and the way it is selling cloth
for less than such a patriotic concern
ought to charge for it.
And then, when the workers In the
mills objected to cut of few cents
week in their wages, the trust en-
ployed an army of guards to protect
its mills When the state shortened
the hours of labor, wages, of course,
had to come down, for of course that
patriotic company could not pay %
90 &C. -
order that they might have shorter
hours and still get the same old Sc a
week.

AUTO BANDITS SNATCH
$4,000 IN DIAMONDS

New York, Feb. 1.-THE automo-
bile bandits, who on Thursday held
up two bank messengers and stole
$4,000, jumped from the Wall
street district to the hotel and shop
ping district of Fifth avenue and
broadway yesterday.
Three men in the taxicab type of
car trailed George H. Horth, a dia-
mond dealer, from Broadway and
Thirty-fourth street TO Fifth avenue,
through Fifth avenue to Thirty-ffth
street and west on Thirty-ffth street
to point 200 feet from Sixth ave-
nue.. There two of them jumped from
the cab, stunned the jeweIer With
blows from a blackjack, ripped a wal
let containing $4,000 worth of un-
set diamonds from his coat pocket,
and made their escape.
The robbery occurred shortly be-
fore o'clock in the evening, when
the streets of the vicinity were
thronged with pedestrians and We
hicles and with a policeman standing
only 200 feet away.
When the news Of the holdup
reached police headquarters, Deputy
Commissioners Dougherty and Inspec-
tor Hughes were declaring to the
newspaper men that they had made
progress toward capturing the high
waymen who stole $4,000 the pre-
vious day.
They had made two arrests in the
case of Beckerman. the boy who was
held up last Saturday on the BoweEy
and relieved OF 1855 by thugs, who
escaped in an automobile, as did

self commended in his denunciation of
the recalls that the legislative, ex-
ecutive and judicial branches shall
each exercise certain well defined du-
ties. The presidents threat, there
fore, amounts to coercion of the
legislative branch Of the government.
What is involved may perhaps be bet
ter understood by supposing that the
president should publicly announce,
while a case was pending before the
supreme court, that unless a certain
decision were made he would at once
start impeachment proceedings. In
that event there would be exactly the
same encroachment upon the judicial
as he now makes upon the legislative
branch.

Dear Mrs. Thompson-Is it true that
the grandmother of Queen Anne OF
England was barmaid? ANON.
1t is, we believe, quite true that
two queens of England had barmaid
for a grandmother The story runs
thus: A Westminster barmaid mar
ried her master, publican. After his
death she found a second husband in
Mr.. Hyde, lawyer, who in later years
became Lord Chancellor and Earl
of Clarendon. A daughter of this I'M

the dye.
