mend him that Mr.. Mathewson has so

American public.

delivered by him to the boys OF the Chill

taught by the worlds greatest pitcher?

visited by Mr.. Mathewson the New YORK
Juvenile Asylum is able to care for bbO
boys and to give them fair start In lie.
We are told that more than 90 per cent.
Of the boys who go out from the village
make good in life. Yet through the streets
OF New York there are other boys who

The announcement that six $4,000
pastorates have stood vacant for a year
for want Of available men to All them
must cause the Presbyterian clergy to
wonder, to a man, where the eyes of
the electors can be. There can hardly
be one among them so meek and lowly
of heart that he could not recommend
just the right candidate II dlscreetly
approached. The point that will cause
most comment among outsiders is that

pensable to these high priced posts and
that It Is just as hard to find in the

the Great Accident Discussed From
New Point Of View by High Authority.
To THE EDITOR or THE SuN-sir: In
all the discussions regarding the blame
for the loss OF the Empress Of Ireland
have seen no mention OF the real cause OF
the sudden sinking Of the vessel.
As I understand II, the two ships were
standing courses practically the opposite
Of each other: the Empress OF ireland
starboard bow the fog then shutting
down. the ships lost sight OF each other.
The reasonable course OF action for both
was 10 hold their courses, slowing as they
approached one another and thus getting
their relative bearings in time.
Unfortunately the Empress Of Ireland
not only stopped but backed strong" and
thus. in seaman's phrase. got stern
board" In other words she was going
backward. Now II there is any one thing
more certain than another II In that a
ship never backs In a straight line. She
slews one way or another. Thus the
Empress of Ireland when the Storstad APP
preached lay at an angle across her own
course and presented her broadslde to
the stem Of the latter. The blow was
thus received In the worst possible posi-
ton. Had the Empress OF Ireland kept
Roadway on her course the worst that
could have happened would have been an
end on impact or glancing blow, neither
OF which would have been attended with
anything like the same fatal results.
n is idle and foolish to talk of the
Storstad's failure to keep her stem in the
wound In the side Of the Empress Of Ire
land. II Is a sheer impossibiity for two
ships Of such weight and In a tideway to
remain together at right angles. one OF
them also having sternway through the
water. To remain SO there would have
to be no movement on the part Of the
wounded ship. To talk Of the backing
away of the Storstad IL thus Of no mo-
ment whatever. Under no such circum-
stances. !. e., with the wounded ship in
movement at right angles TO the Storstad,
could the latter have been kept In the
gap. SEArARER

Professor John Bates Clark's In
teresting Theory.

To JOHN BATES CLARK. professor Of
political economy at Columbia Univer-
sity. is attributed the subjoned decla.
ration with respect Of the model wage
Standard:
"A corporation that when Its men are
striking for two dollars a day, will pay to
other men four dollars In order TO break
the back Of a strike, deserves TO be forced
to give to its original employees the four
dollar rate.
1T would be entirely equitable to make
the amount that is given to the emergency
gang the minimum that must be given TO
Che permanent force"
Let this theory be applied to n IA.
miliar incident. A street railway cor
poration, operating under franchise
which will he forfeited by the non-r,n-
ming Of its ears, becomes involved In n
dispute with its motormen and con-
ductors. They MAKE demands which
the corporation refuses to grant. They
strike. The corporation may do one
of three things: yield to their demands.
suspend It's service, or attempt to main.
tain that service with new men, under
police protection.
The officers of the corporation reject
the first and second courses. and adopt
the third. The. new men are enrolled
ana the ears sent from the barns. The
strikers assail them with threats, OBJ
struct the right Of way, and assault
their Successors, who, ut the first sign
OF violence, quit their new Jobs.
Thereupon the corporation in exact
eccordance with the law and in the en-
deayor to fulfil its duties and responsi.
hilties to the public, engages strike
hreakers" of adventurous dispo-
stion. willing for unusual compensa.
tion to expose themselves to flying
bricks, pistol bullets, cobbe stones and
clubs. To these men Is paid the lowest
rate Of wages for which they can be
got, wages naturally considerably higher
man the pay of motormen and conduc.
torSin normal times; they enjoy prlyi
le2es and immunities not granted to
employees In the ordinary conduct OF
the business: and the strike Is broken
by the corporation or won by the dis
satlsf1ed workers, as the ca So may be.

Very likely Lord BRAssEY will Join with
him in Diminishing his arrest as a spy
with a laugh. but the effects OF such an
incident on public opinion in England
are not so easily dispelled. The spy
