ALate Easter.

Ash Wednesday, the first day of
Lent, falls this year on March 9Th.
Easter Sunday falls on April 23d, the
latest date in many, many decades
Easter will not fall so late again until
1913, when the date will be April 25th.
Easter will not fall on April 23d again
until the year 1000 and there will not
be very many of US still living to help
celebrate the event. Examples Of late
Casters are comparatively few. In
1928, the records show that Easter fell
on April 28th and in 1739 on April 29th.
The most recent year in which Easter
fell on April 23d was 19O5.-Beloit

Feminism in Eden.

1t is difficult to place the John Martins

Much of their joint volume on "Feminsm"
clearly halls from the Garden of Eden. at
period when the apple was as yet untam-
pered with and Adams rib still tingled
with recollections Of her start upon this
planet. The rib theory is the basic under
lying one beyond doubt.
But the meanest intelligence quickly dis
covers that both Mr. Martin and Mrs.
Martin have witnessed far later dongs
Of the human race. Both are aware that
women, many women, have worked in fac
tories; that even colleges have undertaken
the task Of educating women; that mar
ried women have in some way received the
right to own property; also that the band
aging Of feet has stirred Chinese women
to revolt Even if we conceived Mrs.
Martin as costumed in the relatively mod
ern age Of crinoine we should still fail 10
DO her justice; for her mind is boldly
cognizant Of such recent phenomena as the
domestic servant problem and Ellen Key.
Just how far Mrs. Martin would 90 in
her acceptances of what Feminism has al
ready accomplished is not made clear in
her half-naturally, the second half-of
the volume. But Mr.. Martin outlines a
personally invented lIumanism as foil
to Feminism which is specific. For one
thing he would accept from Feminism,
without credit. all the modern efforts to
protect women in industry. When il
comes to education he is more conserva-
tive. Nothing much in the way of brain
strain is permitted for the nineteen years
which he alots to child bearing and rear

Teachers Fear the Administration.

To tn. Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: | am a school teacher ! voted in
favor Of the proposed pension plan. ! do not

opposition are the greedy ones. | know the
various objections TO the plan. These are all
sound at bottom.
Mr. Brucrc on many occasions has def
nitely stated that hafpsy pension will

vides that the city out of its own funds pro-
vide for quarterpsy pension. The teachers
will be forced 10 contribute an amount suf-
iicicnt 10 provide for an annuity equal TO a
quarter-pay pension.
The city is ready 10 pay a quarter pension
But how many teachers, say, whose salary is
$500, would retire on pension of 1875
What is the best way Of shelving the aged
servtor? What better scheme than to have
the teacher do it himself? Deduct enough
from the salary 10 provide another quarter
so that retirement from service will cause
less hardship. Is this a pension or an an
nuity?
The objections nigh. not be valid If the
deductions were comparatively slight. Do

What is known is terrible, and neither the
press nor the public men Of England dare
tell the British people the half OF all the
shameful and terrible mistakes of this war
To defeat and disorder abroad there
is now added revolution at home. Inc
cause is the same. Those who would not
sec the storm Of war that was coming
refused to heed the signs that were on
every hand Of the approach of domestic
strife. Those who lied about Germany lied
about ireland, and the truth has found
them out once more, writing its message
in the mobs that machine guns must dis
persc and bullets quench.
England of to-day is the America OF to-
morrow. Our blindness is the same, our
folly. our weakness. We. too. shall send
our best TO die in bitches and in swamps
as We did in 1898. because no one would
prcparc. We shall see all that was noblest
and hest in our race wasted, because the
men who had the power to prevent 1t lacked
the courage, the honesty, the faith. We
shall see what England sees and feels to
dav. the bravest and noblest lives wasted,
thrown away. because those who were
titular leaders would not lead and those
who followed would not reckon where they
were going.

those warnings TO the American people

after be remembered No element of all
that marks this madness is lacking here
in this country; the same open threats and
only half secret admonitions have long
been heard-and never yet needed.
The machine gun will dispose of the
mob 1t is doing it in Dublin, 1T Will ultl-
mately do it anywhere. But IT is a waste
a folly and a madness. 1t is the terrible
price democracy pays for its present lead
ership. If the American people will not be
warned, cannot learn by example, they
are going at no distant time to learn as
the English arc learning. Treason cannot
be ignored, anarchy cannot be left unpun-
ished or unsurpassed. We have treason
and anarchy here. Unless they he dealt
with now we shall have insurrcction and

Seeking a Labor Monopoly.

The main point Of difference-prac-
tically the only remaining onc-bctween
the PENNSYLVANIA coal miners and the opcr-
ators is the question of maintaining a
"cloScd shop" The miners want an agree
ment that all workers shall he members
of the United Mine Workers and that their
dues shall be retained from wages by the
employers so-called Check f'-and
paid into the union treasury. This would
force about 10000 non-unlon men into the
union. The operators have agreed to make
substantial wage concessions, but arc un-
willing to- accept the closed shop and act
as collecting agents for the union.
It would be distinctly unfortunate #
on this ground alone the miners chose to
precipitate a strike. with all its disastrous
consequences for the general public and
for themselves. With the purpose and
ideals Of the union there will be general
sympathy. But there never has been. and
there is not likely to be, any general sym
pathy in this country with the extreme
of unionism which would debar a non
union workman from obtaining and hold
ing a Job. The ordinary individual does
not wax more enthusiastic over the pros
pcct of monopoly by labor than over one
by capital. 4 labor trust may be as IN
imical to the general welfare As any other
kind of trust.
Since the divorce Of the anthracite mines
from railroad ownership-even though
that divorce may have been more technical
than actual-therc has been gradual
improvement in coal mining. Living con
ditions are better. For this constant
work by the union may be held largely
responsible. yet the operating authorities
are now showing different spirit toward
the mines and the men employed there
than they used to. 1t is greatly to be
doubted whether a closed shop would help
along this improvement. The miners
ought to be able to do more for themselves
and for their union by continuance OF the
gradual recruiting OF members which has
placed the union employees in the majority
in the anthracite field than by the display
Of spirit as autocratc as that the oper-
ators used to manifest.

The March for Preparedness.


One Of the proofs of the growing public
sentiment in favor OF supplying this nation

participate in this demons stration that II was
feared that il would be impossible for them
TO pass a given point in the hours between
daylight and dusk. 1t is felt that the effect
will be quite as impressive if the number is
so limited that the parade NAY be reviewed
n a single afternoon. Hence the present plan
s to have the procession about half the size
of the famous sound money demonstration in
1896. and the Taft parade in 1908. when the
number or paraders totaled almost 100000
All Of this is the logical result OF the
campaign of education which has been carried
on so inteligently during the last few
months. The hearts Of the people are in the
right place. and all that was needed to con-
vince them that this great and prosperous

Long-Lived Soap Bubbles.


The soap bubble which Sir James Dewar
blew al the Royal Institution on February Il
has come to an untimely end. aged thirty
seven days. Its demise was due TO the vi
bration set up by the LIQUID air machinery
which was employed 20 produce liquid air for
the purposes OF Sir j. J. Thomson lecture
on Saturday afternoon.
But some other interesting companions
withstood the disturbance. Among them is a
bubble which is entirely black. and shows no
colors whatever. Il was blown with hydro
gen on March lG. and by March 20 il had be-
come completely black. IT is 49, ccntimetrcs.
or about 81. inches in diameter and the
thickness or thinncssI OF its walls is OF the
order OF one hundred-,housandth OF miih-

Yet it is strong enough TO support drop Of
soap solution that hangs from ITS lowest
point.

until March -. thus taking much longer in
the process than the ono which was blown
with hydrogen. After il had been allowed
20 stand for two days an experiment was
made to see whether IL would contract with

tracted 90 nearly onc-half its previous di-

have been four times thicker. but the upper

much as they could hope TO extract from
the poor taxpayer: and that all who voted

get more.
/ am myself teacher in Brooklyn high
school. which is a large and representative
one. Naturally. the pension question has
been much discussed there. The general feel
ing was that the proposed bill was most gen
erous but there was also a strong feeling
that 1t was too generous: that 1t was asking
more than was fair of the taxpayers.
Those in my school who were from the first
in favor of the bill were certainly neither
mpudent nor greedy. They acknowledged
freely inc generosity OF the ctv and felt that
they were justified in accepting II and end

The assumption that the teaching profes-

seems 70 be prevalent. Il is not an inspiring
role: nor Is It's origin far to seek. The rec
ord OF reckless incompetence made By the
present Legislature OF New York State is suf-

forced to fight for their plain rights. and evil
