land Is out of adjustment. Wage scales
are dangerously low in so many lines Of
occupation that it is almost impossible
for men to live in decency and comfort in
the lower ranks of society. The other
day multitude of clerks marched in the
city of London and held a demonstration
in one of the parks as a protest against
starvation wages and the insanitary con-
dtions in which they work. AS a protec-
ton against identifications and reprisals
these men marched masked. presenting a
sing ular and impressive spectacle in the
streets of the British apital. Commercial
clerks In London get extremely small pay,
running to an average of about 30 shil-
linss week, or, roughly. $50 There
are tens of thousands of men in the city
OF London today engaged in this class of
work who draw no more than that
amount, and with no hope of betterment.
Unskilled laborers in the city of London
will earn perhaps an average of IS or 81
week in good times and skilled labor may
run TO an average of s. to So week, or,
in especially good times. so a week save
in a few particular trades yielding fixed
employment.
In these conditions general strike not
only enlists large class OF discontented
people, but it catches the country with
slender provision against privaton. II
the plans of the labor leaders are now
carried out situation of acute distress
will speedily result and it is altogether
probable that political results will follow.
The present government is none too
strongly intrenched to withstand an in
dustrial crisis of this character. The
tendency of the home rule bill is pract-
cally all that stands between the ministry
and defeat, but even that factor may
not prevent the government coalition from
dissolution in an industrial crisis, for the
ministry is still to great extent depend
ent for continuance in Office upon the la
Dor party itself

Treating Art as Merchandise.

From the Boston Transcript.
1t is safe to say that few civilized ma
tons would even contemplate laying an
import tax on works of art. Yet this ex-
tinguisher is still held above American
arts by the pending tariff law. The Sen
ate amendments place duty of % per
cent on paintings. sculptures, etchings,
engravings. Autographs and drawings
less than fifty years old, and they make
arts and crafts objects more than 1OO
years old dutiable as If they were Or
binary articles of commerce. If the in
fluences which introduced these amazing
provisions into the new tariff were less
sinister and mysterious the obvious COM
ment would be that such measures we're
a humiliatng exposure of the popular dis
esteem of the arts in our material and
commercially minded country. Whether
this is true or not this tax is a tax on
the stuff of brain and OF culture which no
nation, however sordid in its estimates of
values, can afford to impose. Unless the
Senate conferees will accept the Under
wood art schedules, which place works OF
art on the free list. and artistic antiqui-
ties as WE'LL such barrier will have been
raised between us and the sources of art
education and inspiration as will retard
the progress and the arts in America to
a devastating degree.

Soliciting Campaign Funds.

1t is not q bit unprOfessional for re-
publican members of the House to call
attention to the law which prohibits
members OF Congress from soliciting
or receiving assessments or contribu-
tions for campaign purposes, In con-
nection with the democratic con-
gressional committees call for 500
apiece from the House members of that
party? Apparently the statute has
been violated in the asking by MEM
bers OF Congress of campaign sub
scriptions from persons receiving any
salary or compensation from moneys
derived from the Treasury OF the
United States" Nor does the viola
ton consist solely in the soliciting.
for the law prohibits even the receiv-
ing OF such contributions. Neverthe.
less this is the usual thing" Have
not republicans passed the hat hereto

The Summoning of Diaz.

IL as intimated Provisional President
Huerta has summoned Felix Diaz from
Europ- 81 purposes to throw to him his
influence in the coming election for the
Mexican presidency an ingenious turn
will have been given to the situation
from the point of view Of the present ma
tional administration in that country.
From all accounts Daz is not a man of
strength. On two occasions he has shown
that he is incapable of decisive activity
leading to results. When he captured"
Vera Cruz in the first stage of his revo-
luton against Madero he seemed for a
few hours to have things all in his own
hands and his triumphal advance to the
capital was fully expected. But his cam
paign collapsed almost in an hour, and
he was captured and taken to Mexico
City and for a long time was held in
prison. Then came the detection of a
portion of the federal army in the capital
and the release of Diaz. He established
himself in stronghold and for some days
maintained a vigorous fight which again
appeared to prove him a man of some
determination. But when the break came
and Madero was deposed it was Huerta
and not Diaz who reached the official
summit, and it then appeared conclu-
sively that Diaz was but q temporary
iigurehead in the anti-Madero movement.
Since Huerta's accession to the presi-
dency Diaz has been a negligible guam
tity in Mexico. He was sent on an OFF,
cial mission to Japan, but never
reached there on account of the unwill-
ingness of Japan to receive him. A well
founded belief prevails today that Diaz
in fact was pleased to take any errand
that carried him out of Mexico and dam
ger. That he did not return to his own
country upon the rejection of his mis-
sion by Japan strengthened this belief.
Now, it is reported, he has been sum-
moned home, possibly to stand as HUI
erta's candidate for the presidency. That
he would be merely Huerta's stalking
horse, if elected-and there seems to be
but little doubt of his ELECTION" if his
candidacy is supported by Huerta-it is
altogether probable that he would be
completely under the dominion of the
stronger man. Would this maneuver sat
isfy the American official objection to the
establishment in power at Mexico City
of those supposed to be guilty Of Ma
dero's assassination? Just what particu-
lar part in the disposal Of the late presi-
dent Diaz himself had is not known.
Would the United States recognize his
