THIS is THE BIRTHDAY OF
David Wikie,
NOV. 10, 1895.
is IT YOURS?

NOV. 10, 1875.
One of the great painters Of the last
century was David Wilkie. born in
Scotland and son of parish minister.
From his earliest years he showed an
exceptional talent for drawing. but
not until he was IA, and had proved
in many ways his fitness to be a
painter, did his father give consent TO
his education in art.
Wilkie studied in Edinburgh with al
most feyerish zeal, and showed a great
capacity for work He was about the
markets. and among the crowds and
wherever poorer people congregated.
sketching types of faces and poses
that struck him as valuable. When he
was 10 he returned to his native par
ish, settled himself In a manse there.
and began q large painting. "Pitlessie
Fair" which contained lao figures,
most of them painted from life. h.
was busy with portraits, too, but a
year later went to London. feeling the
need of a wider field for his work.
He was successful from the begin
ming. A year after settling In the city
a picture OF his not only received the
great honor of being accepted by the
Royal Academy. but attracted great
attention here. His fame grew year
by year. But his health had suffered
so that, by the time he was 40. he went
abroad to recover his strength. While
away he studied the art of other coun-
tries, and was greatly Influence
many say to his harm. Fifteen years
later he went abroad again to Con.
stantinople and Jerusalem. On his
way home he was taken seriously ia
and died at sea-

chsckmats labor would BE- a. repre-
hsnsibis a. a strike on the part OF
the men. M II would curtaii produce
ton at a time when the world needs
goods.
The fact however, that II Is beins
seriously discussed in current financial
literature indicates that II Is being con-
sidered quite generally among men
who own the mills and 1t should be
taken as warning to workingmen
that the time has arrived TO hold a
restraint over agitator leaders lest
they kill the goose that lays the golden
egg on pay day.
Reaction always follows imitation
and boom in anything. The only I'M
certainty about Il Is that nobody can
tell when II Is TO arrive. Hogs are
selling now for little more than half
what they brought when the war was
on. Defiation has already set In for the
kind Of meat that went to war. 1t will
set in for other commodities without
warning and when 1t does the tempta-
ton to shut down and curb labor's de.
mands viii be too inviting to with
stand. Work at present wages and
less extravaganza in buying the things
that are not needed would be a far
safer policy for all concerned than one
of pressing the struggle for more wag-
es and more profits to the breaking
point. Mills in idleness might disci-
pline labor but II would curtail the
supply of goods and send prices up to
the public which buys without doing
the men any good who were Idle. Let's
be cautious, just now, and not rock
the boat The poor public Is on board.

sis.RvArloHs AND THE TREATY.

Should the president see fit to kill
the treaty because the United States
senate refuses TO deliver the right to
declare war from congress TO COM
mittee sitting in foreign country and
controlled by representatives Of for
eign countries. why let him do 1t. Per-
haps we shalr~be the better for a new
start all around. America would still
remain American.
The fact Is that the reservations do
not limit the covenant in any practical
way. However we'll the president may
think Of the council and OF himself and
the labors of his self centered commits
sion at Paris It. is not easy to imagine
the United States going to war with
out congressional action at the COM
rnand Of member Of the council. 1t

as to whether the line fence should run
to the middle Of a river or stop on the
far side.
The reservations are plain common
sense and simple good business. They
do not vitiate the treaty at all. II the
treaty Is killed the president and his
body guard viii kill it. What the res
ervations DO Is to give warning, just
and honest warning Of certain things
thA United States will not do. And the
reservations 70 far adopted simply
speak the facts as to what congress
would be permitted to do by the peo-
pie congress- represents. A child in
America should understand that only
the most desperate world emergency
win induce Americans to send another
great or small expedidonary force
oveseas. And every child IN America
knows that should such emergency
arise the people and congress would
be OF one mind and that the armies
would go.
About all the reservations do Is to
warn certain warwicks that this coun-
try Is to retain its constitution and Its
individuality. They do not affect the
treaty. They do affect the egotistical
assumption Of a single master mind
in all America
II the president chooses to bust" his
treaty, why let him. The chances are
that q better can be arranged.

The advisability Of employers going
on a strike Is now being seriously dis
cussed in trade journals, market re-
views and other financial writings that
circulate among investors in indus

critics. The belief Is quite general that
labors demands are becoming so un-
reasonable that they cannot be met

settle the controversy lie 10 close down
enough mills to cause men to hunt for
