Curious Honors Borne b,
Marquis of CRANKY.

CRANKY, the Duke of Rutland's heir, to
pretty Kathleen Tenant, who with
other things, is a niece of the prime
minister and Mrs. Asquith, says the
London correspondent of the Pittsburgh
GaZette-Times.
This engagement makes the greater
stir since it means yet another link to
those which already connect three ia
nous families, those of Rutland, AS
quith and Wemyss.
The young bridegroom o-be is, more
over, the only surviving brother OF
those lovely and much -talked-of girls,
Ladies Marjorie, Violet and Diana
Manners, the first of whom is now
Marchioness of Anglesey, and the sec
ond Lady Elcho. the erstwhile Lady
Violet's husband being the eldest son
of Lord Wemyss, whose younger son.
Guy Charters, married Miss Tenant
the elder sister of the future Lady
CRANKY.
| The Marquis of CRANKY can claim one
( curious distinction. Most saloons, or
public houses, in Great Britain, as all

ONE QUESTION FOR
PRESIDENT GOMPERS
TO ANSWER

In the same good-natured spirit in
which President Gompers leased the
Socialists in regard to their position
on the question of preparedness be-
fore the National Civic Federation,
The Call feels the opportunity right
for a bit of the same toward the ven
cradle head of the American Fedora
ton of Labor.
Mr.. Gompers declared himself
against any miltarism that would
place the people under control of the
army, and against any military sys-
TEN that was not democratic.
How does Mr.. Gompers intend that
democratic control shall be secured?
We do not promise, by any means,
that we shall agree to a democratical-
ly-controlled military, but we are curl
out to know how there can be such
an establishment. We do not assume,
however, that if the powers that gov.
ern proceed-as they plan TOTO es-
tablish a great military and naval
strength that is NOT democratically
controlled, Mr.. Gompers will remain
steadfast in opposition to it.
This question of preparedness is
one that is absorbing the attention of
the nation. 1t is particularly impor-
tant to the workers. We need all the
light we can get on the subject If
ii is possible under present condi-
lions and with the present ruling
class in power to have a democrati-
cally-controlled miitarism in our
midst, we want to know HOW. We
do not ask for a multitude of minute
details, but we do ask for at least
working plan of the scheme.
The workers OF the country will be
especially interested in having such
a plan laid before them. We do not
condemn Mr. Gompers for what he

show that the questions raised were
not new. In the beginning of the

parliament. in 1901, rejected on Sec

coaches on highways.
The watermen of the Thames were
the advocates of this bill, and one

FREEDOM FOR FILIPINOS

ICES the president to grant them alb

When independence is granted the
president is authorized to negotiate
treaties needed to adjust all property
rights of citizens of the United States
and other countries in the islands and
to acquire such naval bases and coal
ing stations within that territory as
he deems necessary. During discus
sion on the bill as was frankly stated
by some senators that the United
States would be better off if it dis
posed of the Philippines. One sena-
tor objected to surrendering the is
lands, for fear that these peoples
would become anarchistic and get
to warning among themselves"
Senator Stone, chairman of the for
eign relations committee, character
lied this sentiment as "a vociferous,
scattering, dreary, inane, partisan har-
angue."

INTELLIGENT CLASS VERSUS
THE MILITARY CLASS

IF we compare one century with
another, we shall find that for very
long period wars have been becom-
ing less frequent. Every i'm
portant addition made to knowledge
increases the authority of the intel
lectual classes. . The antagonism
between these classes and the mill
tary class is evident; it is the an
tagonism between thought and ac-
ton, between argument and
violence, between persuasion and
force, between men who live
by the pursuits of peace and those
who live by the practice of war.
Whatever, therefore, is favorable to
one class is manifestly unfavorable
to the other. AS the intellectual
love of war will diminish; and if their
intellectual acquisitions are very
small, their love of war will be very
great In perfectly barbarous coun-
tries no account is made of any
man, unless he has killed an enemy;
and the more he has killed, the great
err the reputation he enjoys. This is
the purely savage state, and it is the
state in which military glory is most
