Outside Of the Unions.
(Christian Register.)

1t is we'll to bear N mind always
and everywhere the commonly FOR
gotten fact that labor organizations,
@o-called, concern the welfare of but
q small minority of the American
people. Mr.. Gompers in his little
world is a very important parsonage,
and in the affairs of the American
commonwealth a highly respected
citizen and a useful member Of
eociety; but for the many millions Of
men and women who are raising the
crops to feed the people and the
many more who are fitting them out
with the means of housekeeping he is
an interesting person, but in no sense
their representative.
These people are not dumb driven
CATTLE" but they are VOiceleSs and
without representation in the cOun-
sells Of the nation. But nevertheless
they are the majority, and in the
last resort will decide the fortunes
of the nation. Let greed and rapacity
attempt to seize and control the in
come and invested savings of the
people, and there Will be an over
turn that will be surprising in it's
effects and remarkable for the good
results that will follow. The republic,
as has been well said, is q raft; 1T
never upscts, but our feet are always
in the water. Our safety as a nation
lies in the fact of our enormous and
widespread population with it's multi
farious interests. No section or fac
ton Is large enough or powerful
enough to seize and control the whole
republic. AS Lincoln said, you can
tool all the people part of the time
and a part of the people all the time,
but you can't fool all the people all of
the time"

WILSON'S sDUCKY 1871
AGAIN IN EVIDENCE

Another Lucky Thirteen'' has
turned up for President Wilson.
FINAL touches on the draft of
the Constitution for the League
or Nations were given in Col. r.
M. Houses room in the Hotel
de trlilon in Paris on Thurs
day night, February 10.
1t is to be noted that there
are tWenty-six articles in the
Constitution, twice thirteen.
This again recalls that ''Tllclcv
Thirteen runs all through the
presidents life. There are thir-
teen letters in his name. He
landed in Brest to attend the
peace conference December 13,
1918. Thirteen played an i'm
portant part in the inaugural
plans in 1913. Thirteen COVER
nors were in line, militia of thir-
teen states were represented,
along with thirteen educational
institutions. The marriage of
Miss Jessie w. Wilson and
Francis R. Sayre was the thir-
teenth such ceremony to take
place in the White House, and
the names of both bride and
BRIDEGROOM contained thirteen
letters each.
President Wilson has fire.

Old Rhine Bridges.
Boston HeTald J

In the tedious policing of the coded
zones along the Rhine, those of our
soldiers who put away their Latin
books when the draft calls came
must now be finding time to think
about the stories Of the centuries,
when Coblenz and Cologne were but
fortified trading posts on the bloody
barrier of that empire whose marble
capital shone in the warmer sunlight
beside the Tiber And among these
memories of older campaigns there
must come the remembrance of
Agrippina.
Not Agrippina, the mother of Nero :?
No, Agrippina, the granddaughter
of Augustus; she was the chaste wife
of the Roman General, Germanicus
and the mother Of Nero's m other. You
cannot Judge a woman by the grand
son that casts off his ancestral obi
cations.
Of the old Roman bridges across
the Rhine we always hear most of
that which Julis Caesar built. But
no such story hallOws that structure
as Tacitus tells of the Rhine bridge
that Gernanicus built for the leading
Of his legions into the forests and
marshlands Of the Teutons.
Now this Agrippina, wife of the
fearless Germanicus must have been
as handsome as Medea in Sichels
painting or as Vittoria Colonna in
the eyes of Michael Angelo for the
piece of antique sculpture that still
bears her name gives her a strange
charm of feature and in the carriage
of her head a strength plain to see
True as steel 20 her husband, she
had made his dangers her own. In
his camp she had borne him that
little son whom the legionary soldiers
called Ca.ligula, for his hobnailed
shoes or caligas made in the pattern
of their own. And when the general
had faced the angry mutineers in
their tumult she had begged him not
to send her into safety; "she was the
granddaughter of Augustus and it was
below her spirit to shrink in time of
danger"
While Germanicus, in the broken
country beyond the Rhine, was burn
ing the barbarians' villages and scat
tering their armies there came into
the camp where he had left his wife
and boy the terrifying report that
his forces had been overwhelmed
and that q great horde of Germans
was in full march toward the river
Some of the soldiers who had been
left to garrison the camp were at
once for cutting down the briee
regardless Of their general and his
surviving men.
Then the undaunted Agrippna |
showed her Roman quality Single !
handed and in person she barred the |
towards from their selfish attempt |
Not only that, but as If to confirm |
her authority, she took upon herself |
all the duties of a camp commander !
and a commissary; she gave to the |
soldiers their food, their medicines, |
their clothing. And when Ger7nanicus, |
not in flight but In triumph, returned |
again he found her at the head Of |
the Rhine bridge that she had saved. |
meeting his brave veterans with |
thanks and praises.
Yet some of us wonder still how
Rome could make herself the mis- |
tress of the world and whether Roman |
history Is worth our reading

The Mother Cd Nations.
(NeW York Post)

A hint of the ability Of the British
empire to be a mandatory" is given
by Sir Hugh Clifford's report on the
Gold Coast colony. A generation ago
it was land of ignorance and poy-
erty, and had a white death rate of
"a per 1000. Now it is about as
healthy as sanitation can make it;
nearly 100000 is devoted to educa-
ton among 100000 people, While Sir
Hugh has just recommended a pro-
gram including primary education for
every native child, training college
for every province, good teaching SAL
aries, and ultimately a Royal college.
A single bag of cocoa was grown in
1891. Last year 270,000,000 pounds
were grown, AS with the production
Of II, 900, 900 pounds OF kola, Sir Hugh
reports that this industry has been
throughout, almost exclusively, in ma
tive hands and under native manage
ment" A writer in the Westminster
Gazette attributes the Coasts pros
perity to the security of native title to
land; the encoura gemen of native in
dustry; the open, door to science,
commerce and industry of all lands;
and the fact that a long line of Brit
ish governors have sought first the
native welfare.

Merit eventually wins This is the
moral connected with the announce
ment that Ernest w. Christ has been
elected secretary and P. F. King as
sistant secretary of the Stanley Works
CORPORATION. Both entered the en-
ploy of the concern in minor posi-
tions, Mr. Christ as officeboy. Both
have given devotion and energy to the
company and have not watched the
clock. Time brings it's compensation.
The slow drag of years must have Of
fered opportunities for discomfort for

themselves among the select few
well-deserved promotions What man

Our Dances in England.
(NeW Y ork Sun }

There is one distinctly American
product which Great Britain's much
discussed embargo has not banned
and which it could not now or ever
prevent from being imported, namely,
the Dixie jazz. London has gone mad;
everything is jazz dancing, jazz bands,
Jazz styles, and all commodities and
customs are affected by jazzology.
New York can well appreciate and
comprehend this state of affairs in
London, for it remembers it's own
Terpsichorean revelry in the far off
DAYS before the war. Economic bar
riers may regulate a nations trade
and exchange, but syncopation, soul
transmitted. knows no restrictions.

Self Government in the Philippines.

- New York COmmerciaD
Governor Harrison reports very sat

native population a voice in the gov
ernm ent Of these possessions. Am eri-
can off1ce-holders who had preceded
him at Manila. or were released from

but he persisted in trusting the natives
and he assures congress that they

In every way the Flipinos have proved
their loyalty to the government and to
the United States. If America can set
the Philippines on their feet and make
them Independent, a source Of danger
will be removed.
