The "Folded Hands Strike.

There are rare times when inaction
may be made as potentially express
sive and effective as action. One of
the masterpieces of a famous artist is
"A picture known as THE Folded
Hands" 1t is just a mere sketch of
the hands of a friend. clasped and at
rest. drawn from life; yet it is elo'

durance. In the great strike which
has just been won in Belgium for uni
form manhood suffrage and against
the plural voting system. Folded
hands, not violence was the motto of
the workmen. and it is worth record,
ing that among the 100000 strikers
there was hardly a single departure
from the plan of pacific campaign
They simply laid down their tools and
stood patiently by, with hands folded
awaiting the victory. Belgium al
ready had manhood suffrage, but it
was so unequaIly distributed that the
vital principle was defeated. Nine
hundred and ninety thousand work.
ngmen had each one vote, 10000
men who either owned property or
paid house-tax had each two votes,
and 308,000, who either now or for
merly held office, had each three
votes. Thus with the aid of the
supplementary votes it was easy for
the plural voters to outvote the work.

But the folded hands carried the day
where all other means had failed.
Millions of dollars in wages were lost,
but not in vain, since the sacrifice
brought political equality and justice

As others-in Tennessee-see Us.

The states of New England may
boast of their historic lineage. They
may have been settled before the days
of the Revolution. But today they are
states of exhausted and deserted
farms. The once prosperous planter
has disappeared. His sons and grand
sons have sought the factory towns
and the women folk have followed the
stronger sex. Many historic highways
once famous in the days of the stage
coach are grass grown and the once
prosperous farms are being bought up
by wealthy New Workers as hunting
preserves. This is the story of New
