Nothing else Is the background for

latest candidate for mouse catching
contrivance honors is E. L. Harrison
OF Portsmouth, Ohio who explains
"The device lures the mouse through

mouse, alarmed, runs through a corri-

hunts for a way to escape. The cor

Robert Burns, surely, would have ap-

before the majesty Of his prisoner and
sought to free Him from His cruel ad-
versaries. Those who have emulated His
example have exercised mighty infiu-
ence in changing the course of human
events.

"A WAVE OF THE SEA"
BY THE RIGHT REV. JAMES E. FREEMAN d. D, L. d, D. c. L.
BISHOP OF WASHINGTON.

The grandeur and instability Of the sea.
Majestic In its broad sweep, its moods
are tickle and changeable. 1t can be
smooth and serene, 1t can be tempestuous
and threatening.
Long ago the psalmist wrote: "They
that 60 down to the sea in ships, and
occupy their business in great waters,
these men see the works of the Lord
and His wonders in the deep" An
other scripture writer when he would de-
scribe Heaven and the peace Of eternity,
said: And there shall be no more sea-"
He could not think of peace and tram
quillity where the sea occupied it's place.
St. James, in his epistle, which is one
Of the most appealing and suggestive
books in the New Testament, speaks of
the sea as typical Of one who lacks sta
bility, who is quickly affected by chang
ing moods and environing conditions He
says: He that Wavereth Is like a wave
of the sea, driven with the wind and
tossed" A little later he describes this
type Of man as double minded" OF
such he says further: Let not that man
think that he shall receive anything of
the Lord" Vacillation or a lack of sta
bility is the certain evidence Of weakness
Of character and an incapacity to fixity
of conviction. Even qualities otherwise
strong lose their effectiveness in such
case. Where great moral issues are in
volved, issues that have to do with fun
damental principles, there must be firm
ness of decision Martin Luther's Here
I stand, can do no other, so help me,
God" Is a challenging animation. The
oft-repeated entry In the log Of the in
trepid Columbus, To-day we sailed west
ward" stimulated his doubling navigators
and spurred them on to new adventure
and greater perils.
The man with fxity Of conviction is
ever the inspiration Of his less coura-
geous followers. Cardinal Mercier's mag
nificent stand against those who would
invade the sanctity of his high Office and
treat with ruthless disregard those who
looked to him for protection thrilled the
world with admiration for this great
leader Men Of this type are the trail
makers, the way -preparers for their COM
rades. Moral courage transcends phys

Truth and Fiction.

It is strictly true, as is so often
said, that truth is stranger than flc-
ton" AS a matter of fact almost all
fiction is based on fact. The story writer
may mix his factors and change scenes
and create" characters to suit his own
taste and that of his readers, but with
only very rare exceptions he has drawn
upon his memory Of happenings or upon
records of romantic or tragic events for
his materials.

ing on the subject:
, "A committee representing the Capital
Bicycle Club, consisting of P T. Dodge,
George Kenna, Leland Howard, j. NJ
Killits. Max HanSmann, L. w. Seely
and Rudolph Kaufman, called upon
the District Commissioners at ii o'clock
this morning by appointment to confer
with them regarding the new police
regulations so far as they affect the
riding Of bicycles in the street. with q
view OF securing a definite understand
ing of what will be required of Wheel
men and OF calling attention to some
points in connection with the use of the
bell and lamp on bicycles. -Mr. Dodge
on behalf of the committee stated
to the Commissioners that the commit
tee had no intention of antagonizing
the regulations, but on the contrary were
as anxious as the Commissioners for the
enforcement of regulations which would
insure the safety of pedestrians, who are
really not In as much danger from
collisions as the wheelmen. In this
connection he referred to a letter writ
ten to the District Commissioners July
6. 1881. by the Capital club, earnestly
requesting the enforcement OF regula-
tionS requiring the use Of bells and lamps
on bicycles. The Commissioners did
not then deem such precautions neces-
sary, but the club nevertheless required
the members to carry bells and lamps
until they were satisfied from experience
that they did not meet the eXigencies
of the case.
Mr.. Dodge cited as objections to the
use Of such bells and lamps as can now
be obtained that the sudden alarm of
bell is construed as an unauthorized
order to clear the road and has the
effect of startling and disconcerting a
pedestrian. making collision much
more likely than If the rider had passed
unseen and unheard. He held also that
continuously ringing bell would be
a public nuisance and would not be
effective. 1t was shown that the regu-
lations in this respect are open to mis-
construction, one section requiring the
sounding of light bell or gong after
Sundown and another requiring bell
to be sounded continuously by the revo-
luton of the wheel. Bicycle lamps at
night, Mr.. Dodge said, are Objectionable
because they illuminate the road directly
in front OF the wheel but. on account
of the glare, prevent the rider from see
ing distinctly any distance in front of
him. thereby rendering pedestrians more
liable to be collided with than If the
wheelmans vision was not obstructed

Solitude.
I hunted for a lonely place
Where might pass the day
Unnoted by the human race
In moods OF fun or fray
I found still, secluded spot
That Peace should cat It's own,
But soon found that I was not
BY any means alone!
A rabbit challenged me to race,
A bee sang out, "Beware!"
A quail strobe by with quiet grace
And whistled free from care.
A bird its way with song pursued
In an exaltant tone.

Yet was not alone!
Though for days I dwelt apart
From scenes of mortal woe.
A thousand asked me at the start
If I were friend or foe
Although the quest my steps might bring
To earths most distant zone,
Ia find at last there's no such thing
AS being quite alone!

The reason is that the federation is
not organized to act as a unit 1t repre-
sents the aristocracy OF American labor
and functions on the scarcity" theory
It's craft unions seek to skim of the
skilled labor and to limit membership
by high dues and apprenticeship ar
rangements in order to gain wage ad-
vantages for the limited membership.
So far as the A. F. of L. Is concerned,
the basic trouble Is that workers in large
scale industries of this country regard
themselves less as carpenters or me-
chanics or steamfltters or electricians
than they do as automobile workers or
rubber workers or steel workers or lum-
ber workers A union that has no initia-
ton fee and charges from so cents to
81 q month dues offers a special appeal.
Mr.. Green is trying now to gear his
federation to this type of union, but he
is greatly handicapped by the vested
interests Of the separate craft unions af-
filiated with his organization.
That leaves the chance that employers
might now be able to stop John Lewis
in his tracks.
Again ditdculties arise. Those difi-
culties now trace from the fact that
the law of the land, with Supreme
Court backing, supports labor during its
period of organization. The National
Labor Relations Board acts on the
theory that Congress has imposed upon
its members duty to encourage workers
to join unions and to protect them as
members from any employer interference
once they have joined. So long as that
law stands-f John Lewis deigns to use
1t, as he gives signs Of doing nowhere
will be little stopping the trend toward
unionization, even though 1t may be
slowed down as = result Of recent ex-
cesses.
Few Of the well-informed officials in
Washington, regardless OF their personal
views. are ready to count out John
Lewis at this stage of the game. How
ever, q few more missteps and public
opinion might pull the stopper by fore
ing changes In the Nations labor laws

Not very much OF story, maybe, from

French Tax Burdens.

Possibly inspired by the heavy tax

OF voteless Washingtonians, among

ter Georges Bonnet has signalized his
debut in the Paris cabinet by imposing
upon French taxpayers some 5000 0OO,-

is required to BALANCE the national budget.

system. One of the primary purposes
Is to restore the gold reserve OF the
Bank of France to the minimum fixed
by the army general staff as necessary
to insure national defense-50, 600, ,OOO,-
600 francs. The crisis with which the
Chautemps cabinet had to grapple was
the result in large degree Of the recent
tremendous drain on the gold store,
which on July showed loss of 6,0O0,-
100000 francs, mostly caused by flight
Of capital abroad
A few figures illustrate the severity
OF the sacrifices Frenchmen must now
make. Recent spectators In francs,
If their identities can be traced, will be
subjected to special 100 per cent tax
on all gold and foreign currency trans
actions between June 10 and 80. The
tax on incomes above 10000 francs is
increased 20 per cent, on property sales
from to II per cent, and on income
from securities, from IL to 80 per cent,
the highest rates applying to foreign
obligations. Other advances include
tariffs on certain imports, the price of
tobacco, which is raised an average of
20 per cent, and substantially higher
letter postage and, telephone rates.
Finally, passenger and freight rates on
the state-owned railways will be. hoisted
to produce an estimated total OF 2,5oo,-
100000 francs.
An important political angle is now
associated with the tax program, be-
cause the bulk of the new revenue is to
come from indirect taxation affecting
the middle class and working masses.
On that account vehement protest is
expected to be voiced at today's conven-
ton of the Socialist party. 1t will re-
quire all of former Premier Leon Blum's
authority to prevent his supporters from
demanding parliamentary opposition to
the Bonnet budget. Because of such
sentiments among both the Socialist
and Communist constituents of the Pop
ular Front, the cabinet seems constrained
to adopt conspicuously sitter anti
rebel attitude in the Spanish crisis. The
Chautemps- Bonnet group apparently
reckons that if a stronger pro-Valencia
wind is permitted to blow from the
Seine, the governments indispensable
left wing adherents may be more SYM
pathetically disposed toward the new
taxes. Paris In any event is now deter
mined to relax the hitherto strict troops
and munitions control of the French

German allies insist upon nullifying con-
troll Of the Spanish coasts or If the
Portuguese Spanish frontier is similarly
laid wide open for the sending Of sup
