ton. The great national order of Knights of Columbus, which
bears the name of the immortal pathfinder, is present in i'm
pressive numbers and the sons of Italy and Spain are not few.
Columbus was a Genoese and after a life on the sea settled at
Lisbon and there conceived the idea of sailing westward over the
unknown Atlantic to reach the Asian Indies. Repulsed by the
Portuguese king as well as by Genoa, Columbus gained the ear of
Isabella of Spain and of King Ferdinand. On October IL, 1892,
the navigator sighted the Bahamas and hailed the islands as
the gateway of the Indies. Little he knew then of the real
grandeur of his discovery. And this greatest Of the worlds ben
efactors was a victim of its worst ingratitude, as history shows.
After 420 years since the discovery and 1876 years since our re.
public was founded a monument to Columbus rises in our
national canital.

Is the sentences of one year each in

penalty was given them, and when one
considers the nature of their offense they
have been justly dealt with. When u

In their effort to get a living wage What
does he know about it? He makes a
cry against the sentencing of the men in
Kearny to gain the applause of the

advise the men to go back to work at

. TRIBUTE TO WASHINGTON.

IT'D EARADMIRAL Won REUBER PASCHWITZ, of the
I'm German visiting fleet, in laying a wreath on the tomb
of George Washington at Mt. Vernon, paid a tribute
10 the military genius of Washington. The admiral had good
German authority for it. Frederick the Great of Prussia was a
contemporary of Washington and watched the revolutionary
struggle in America. When Washington at Trenton slipped
away from CORVALLIS, encircled his rear and attacked and
routed a second British army at Princeton, compelling Corn
wallis to retreat through the Jerseys, Frederick declared he was
the greatest general of the age. But American patriotism sees
Washington in a much grander light than that.

LIVING COST AND THE WAGE DOLLAR.

IN Z the bottom of the labor strikes and disturbances that are.
IN occurring is the high and excessive cost of the neces
sares of life. The wage dollar has been so reduced in
value that it does not afford decent support for a multitude of
wage-earners. If the prices of the necessaries of life go up 10
per cent. the wage dollar is worth 10 per cent. less. The gov
eminent report shows that the rise in prices within a year exceeds
that percentage. In ten years the increase in the cost OF living
has been between so and 100 per cent. The average of wages has
not increased more than 10 per cent in that time: The solution
of the wage question is reduction in the cost of living, and that
is the problem government should take up in good earnest. And
it doesuA
