ASTRONOMICAL EVENTS.
... (From noon today to noon tomorrow.)
Sun sets 5:44, rises 6:42; moon sets
10:25 p. m.; moon at greatest libration
east, exposing its face farthest east;
moon at ascending node, crossing sun's
path upward.
ONLY ONE JJNION IS INVOLVED.
It is significant that in the whole
sale arrests made throughout the
country in connection with the dyna
mite outrages which have been un
der investigation by the United States
government the persons taken into
custody have been identified with one
union only, the structural iron-workers'
union.
This action on the part of the gov
ernment clears all the other unions
of the country of any connection with
the series of crimes which climaxed
in the awful tragedy at Los Angeles.
Nor must the structural ironworkers'
union be held accountable as an or
ganization for the destruction of life
and property suffered. The organiza
tion as such, can not be held to ac
count for crimes perpetrated by a
small element of its membership, even
though some of its officials be includ
ed in the list of offenders.
The government has not moved
hastily. It has had access to the rec
ords of the union and the aid of at
least one informer who was in the
inner cricles of the dynamiters. It
had abundant money in bank, plenty
of available and trained men at its
disposal and it took time to make a
thorough and exhaustive investiga
tion before proceeding to accusation

J N spite of the movement for universal peace the United States
I probably will find itself ENGAGED IN ANOTHER WAR
JL. ABOUT THE YEARS 1929 AND 1930.
The law of a succession of events will count more than all
of the arbitration movements put "together, and for that reason the
country naturally will again find itself at war.
IF THE LAW OF THE SUCCESSION OF EVENTS HOLDS AND IF
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE HAVE NOT CHANGED IN THEIR NATIONAL
CHARACTER ANOTHER GREAT WAR IS VERY APT TO TAKE' PLACE.
From the Revolution to the second war with England about thirty
yesra had elapsed, and a similar period divided that war from the civil'
war. Thirty years after the victory of the norththe nation became
restless, with the Spanish war following. As it .is said that historv re
peats itself, the LOGICAL INFERENCE IS THAT ' ANOTHER
WAR WILL TAKE PLACE ABOUT 1930. If such a war oc
curs the United States is apt to be in the wrong. - : " ' '
With the rapid increase of wealth and population our nation is
likely to TAKE, THE P.ART OF THE BULLY. The people in
recognition of their strength may display a public opinion in favor
of war, and unless the work of the arbitrators is effective UNNEC
ESSARY " SLAUGHTER MAY RESULT.
and arrest
The course of the government ab
solves the American. Federation of
Labor and its officials of suspicion of
complicity in the life-taking, property
destroying crusade of the dynamiters.
Organized labor, as a whole, is ac
quitted' of any connection with or
knowledge of "these heinous assaults
upon civilized society. ,
This outcome is very agreeable and
pleasing to those who recognize the
fact that .organized labor, striving for
its betterment with due regard for
the rights and privileges of others, is
a powerful instrument for good. -
"Art for art's sake is my sole am
bition,"' says Oscar Hammerstein.
And his style of headgear proves it.
At Lawrence, Mass., Mr. Haywood
declared that free speech is denied
in Massachusetts. Whereupon, to
justify his assertion, he proceeded to
denounce American institutions of
government and call the mill owners
"thieves" and 'pickpockets."
A Massachusetts man says the con
sumer is to blame for the high cost
of living. Of course he is. That's
what makes him a consumer.
Just to show their love for their
distinguished leader, Mr. Bryan, Ne
braska Democrats have launched a
sturdy Harmon boom in that state.
The Chinese republic was born just
one day ahead of the 13th, which is
another lucky omen.

Bributes to &
Washington
From French
Contemporaries
WASHINGTON is dead.
This great man battled
against tyranny. He has
made the liberty of his country
a solid fact. His memory will,
always be dear to the French
people as well as to all the free
people of the two hemispheres,
and especially to the French
soldiers, who, like him and the
American soldiers, fight for
equality and liberty. In conse
quence the first consul ordains
that during ten days black crape
ahall be suspended from all flag
staffs of the republic. Napoleon
in Order to the Army, Champ
Mars, 1800. .
All his answers are pertinent.
He shows the utmost reserve
and is very diffident, but at the
same time he is firm and un
changeable "in whatever he un
dertakes. His. modesty must be
very astonishing, especially to a
Frenchman. He speaks of the
American war as though he had
not directed it and of his vic
tories with an indifference which
strangers even would not af
fect. Jean Pierre Brissot.
. I place Washington in the first
rank among men whom it is the
world's duty to honor. He does
not belong to you alone; he be
longs to the whole of mankind.
If he has not in the same degree
as Napoleon the prestige that
genius lends he has certainly
that which is incomparably su
perior and which emanates from
disinterestedness, love of coun
try and fidelity to principle.
America lives through Wash
ington. Alfred Joseph Naquet,
French Senator.
The soldiers, jealous of his
praises, feared even his silence.
Never was a general better serv-"
ed and obeyed. More careful of
his country's glory than his
own, he risked nothing' to
chance. How I love to
imagine myself ths French gen
. ral (Rochambeau), equally idol
ized and hero of his army, say
ing as he sat at table near
Washington that he had never
known what glory was nor a
truly great man until he became
acquainted with him. Joseph
- Mandrillon. "
He has ever shown himself
superior to fortune and in the
most trying adversity Ijas dis
covered until then unknown re
sources, and, as if his abilities
only increased and dilated at
the prospect of difficulty, he is
never better supplied than when
he seems destitute of every
thing, nor have his armies ever
been so fatal to his enemies as
at the very instant when they
- have thought they hava crushed
him forever. Abbe Claude C.
Robin.
. Washington did the two great
est things which in politics it is
. permitted man to attempt. He
maintained by psace' the inde
pendence of his country, which
he conquered by war. He found
ed - a free government in the
name of the principles of order
and by re-establishing their
sway. He deserved and
enjoyed both success and repose.
Of all great men he was the
mest virtuous and most fortu
nate. In this world God has no
higher favor to bestow. Guizot.
Washington, although born
with every superior qaulity,
adds to them an imposing mod
esty which will always cause
him to be admired by those who
have the good fortune to see
him. As for esteem,- he has al
ready drawn to himself that of
all Europe. Washington,
the ATLAS of your country.
Chevalier de Silly.
In Washington were united
the rare talents of a warrior and
the virtues of a sage. Voltaire.

Heart to Heart

TWO PICTURES.
In a New York gallery recently there
hung two pictures by the famous
Spanish painter Sorolla y Bastida.
One was a picture of sunshine.
A Yalenclan sea and shore are Hooded
with the midday splendor of June.
The sunburst falls in Its brilliancy on
the bronzed faces of fishertnpn arrayed
in their gorgeously colored plaid skirts.
The luminous brightness is reflected
from the shiny coats, of oxen and
touches with gilding the white foamed
waves as they break-ashore. : It trans
forms the sails of the fishermen's boats
into cloth of gold. The waters beneath
are illumined. The goldens air holds
up a purely azure sky.
You see at a glance.
It is a picture of sunshine and of
peace and joy. Bui the companion pic
ture is different. Beneath it is writ
ten: "A Sad Inheritance." -
There is no sunshine in this picture.
Its prevailing -olor is gray. It is the
same sea and strand, but they stretch
out to a forbidding horizon, Grew
sorne shadows lurk in the depths of the
dark waters, and over all the scene
lowers a threatening sky. .
That is the background.
In the foreground are the nude fig
ures of a dozen afflicted boyscome
down to take the sea air boys who
have inherited the curse of a sinful
parenthood. Some of the poor fellows
are hideously deformed: some are crip
ples with pitifully euliirged joints. A
black robed priest is helping a dis
eased youth who is on crutches. - The
boys are inmates of a refuge borne for
waifii innocent sufferec thr sins of
whose parents have brought them pain
and early doom.
An awful picture!" '
You look, and then you look away.
There is no need to say to you. "Look
lipon this picture mid tiieu upon That."
S he teaching is plain
Where righteousness and purtt abide
there is the earth filled with f-,-- sun
shine of peace and happiness, vfheie
sin and unfaith and the sowing ,i' v-MId
oats tii'd a pla--e there the hrisrht .-ol-rs
turn to dun. the clouds lower, atid Ibe
horizon is dark and ominous.
This is the way the old book puts it
in plain, homely truism:
"The fathers have eaten sour grapes,
and .the children's teeth are set on
edge."
Sorolla's picture-of "A Sad Inherit
ance" shows the awful harvest of he
redity. Somewhere back in the line of
parentage somebody has eaten sour
grapes.
The Way of a Blasphemer Was Hard.
The lot of the blasphemer was a
hard one in the old days. . There was
the case of Taylor, for instance, who
spoke his free thinking views In the
market place at Guildford in the reign
i of Charles IL "The court." so runs
the old report of the case, "fined him
1,000 marks. Imprisonment until Suer-
ties for t?ood Behaviour for life, and
Pillory at Gilford and at Westminster.
, Cheapslde and Exchange, with a Pa
per for Horrid Blasphemy " The pa
per, of course, was placed above his
head in the pillory -London Chronicle.
