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 H,.;..ll.I.,lI.I-H-I..1,.I,.M.,I..;.,I.I..t.,I.,I..H) War Will Again Disturb the United States About 1930 i i t ttthtt TTTTTT1 M-M I H-M i i I i I Ir t By Professor BRANDER MATTHEWS.

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. "What are the three greatest calam ities that can befall in a lifetime?" someone asked.

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. Washington's Brother. A THESPIAN'S REVERIE By R. K. MUNKITTRICK.

By EDWIN A. NYE. 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.
