Washington, b. e, Jan. 2.--The
year just closed win be memorable
in the annals of the nation for the
inauguration of the first Democratic
president in twenty years, the pass
age of a tariff bill along Democratic
lines, the enactment; of an income
tax law in keeping with an amend
sment of the constitution and new
law correcting some of the evils OF
the national banking act. While
the act recently signed by President
Wilson affecting our banking and
currency system is not wholly per-
feet it is by long odds a better bill
than the Democratic leaders had
hoped for and by far better bill
than the Republican minority had
believed possible. The uuauimity
with which the new banking law is
being received by the great bankins
of the country indicates
that the time for a change in the
Imanner in which our finances were
carried on had arrived. nearly n half
having elapsed since the en-
sactment OF the last national banking
'act.

. Attractive and winsome Margaret
wilson, eldest daughter Of the presi-
dent and Mrs. Wilson. has fairly
captured Washington. for she is fui!
of life aud yivacity and all the beau
tifnl attributes that so TO make a
charming young Woman
Along with this Miss Wilson, who
is officially The very first young
lady Of the land" bears distinction,
unique and without precedent in the
social doings OF White House FAINT
lies that have gone before, for she
is singer OF rare aceor plishments,
and like her precedent-smashing
father, ignores customs Of the past
and just as any Young woman in
private life would do, she appears in
public and semi-puhlIc to sing for
charity's sake.
This alone has captivated Wash
ington; no other first young lady
of the lane" ever before has brush
ed aside the staid traditions of eH-
clusiyeness surrounding her official
social position as Miss Wilson has
done and il is understood now that
she will cheerfully participate i'll
public or semi-public entertainment
here for this or that charity When
ever the cause is a worthy one and
her enga gements will permit her to
do so.
The first appearance Oh the public
stage IN Washington of this diJtan-
guished young lady was recently in
a song recital for the pleasure Of the
blind. 1t took place in the reading
room of the National Library for
the Blind. For these unfortunates,
on that occasion, the daughter OF
the White House gave q program OF
classic songs, Probably never again
in her life will Miss Wilson sing to
an audience more appreeiative and
enthusiastic than this sightless one
tuition for the. blind. The pathos
surrounding her unseeing hearers
SO affected the talented but intense
ly human young woman that when
she returned that RICH. to the cheer
fulness Of the White House, a decid-
ed suspicion of tears of Joy. at the
pleasure she had given, shone in her
lustrous brown eyes, eyes that nor
mally are constantly dancing and
sparkling with merriment,
Miss Wilson's voice Is a clear.
sweet, resonant soprano, with rich
mezzo quality, and as she sings her
audience forgets she is the daughter
|of the president. and quickly finds
itself wrapped up in, and hearing
only and absolutely the finished ar
tiste. Her voice has good carrying
power. and every song she sings is
delightful.
Quite naturally. the president and
Mrs. Wilson are very proud of Mar
garet and Of her accomplishments
Instead Of directing to her appear
ance in public for charitys sake,
they are pleased to have her do SO.

ever done 1t; in fact. up to the pres
ent time Of Miss Margaret Wilson.

demands upon their capacity and SER
vices, for much illness will prevail
between this date and springtime. In
France and England American sur

There is sinister sign for an

terances. This month will be eN-
ceedingly unlucky for him and he
will suffer severely from mental and

Astrology finds this day in which
the planetary conditions are compara-

in aspect.
There is q sinister omen for snip

more than in the past. Bad weather

will be recalled that the prognostica-

the spring have been strangely full

1t is not a fortunate time for con-

as is usually the case-employers
try as best they know how to be fair
and generous. Considering this
phase of the matter the question Is
pertinent: Will the time ever come
when those furnishing the money
and the brains to provide employ
ment ever submit to allowing the
terms of employment to be dictated
by those employed 1t is not at all
probable that it will.
In the Colorado strike troubles
the employees have endeavored to
force recognition of their union and
the employers have refused to grant
II. They did not refuse, and they
do not now refuse. this. recognition
of the laborer on which question
they are glad to confer. but because
such recognition means absolute
domination of the terms OF employ
ment by the employees. This is an
unnatural. Socialistic condition
government.
AT the present time the man
who can provide jobs is a Godsend
land not menace to the country.
business conditions are not such that
we can treat lightly the man who
can provide labor at good pay to the
man who can work only with his
hands. II the industrial commission
would find the solution OF the prob
lem of industrial unrest 1t must find
la way to provide jobs for all who
want them at the pay they desire to
work for. and under conditions die
tated not by the employer, but by
the employed.
In Colorado the miners spent
lenough money on the strike to have
purchased or leased and equipped
property that would give employ
ment to all who are now dissatisfied
and on strike. This property they
could have operated under terms OF
employment dictated by the Iaborers.
but this was not done because even
the strike leaders recognize the ab-
solute impossiblity of operating that
tway. There lis' no difference OF
Iopinion there. ~

DIFFERENCE OF OPINION.
.@,,~ tN~~ t. II

The federal commission on indus
trial relations set out to learn
whether there is at present any in
dustrial unrest, and II there is. the
reason for it. Judging from some of
the testimony the commission is
probably convinced that there is un-
rest because most Of the witnesses
have agreed on that point. = here
is. however. quite difference of
opinion as to why there is unrest.
Most Of the employers say 1t is due
to agitators while the employees put
the blame on the employers.
1t just occurs that perhaps the OPP
portunity for furnishing employment
is entirely beyond the reach Of the
laborers. To get work laborers must
have the permission OF those who are
furnishing the employment. To keep
1t they must submit to the terms
and requirements of those In control
and who are furnishing the capital
with which to pay for the lahorer's
services. Quite naturally such con-
ditions breed unrest, even when
