Bishop Spaulding, of Peoria, 111., a member of tha coal strike commission, urges the plan of arbitration contained in the Foss bill before the house committee on labor. The bill provides for a permanent board of arbitration to which disputes between capital and labor shall be referred. Bishop Spaulding said it was not his opinion that the proposed tribunal would never be called on to de termine what is a legitimate profit on the investment of capital. Its province would be to settle disputes as to hours, treatment and pay. Fair wages, he said, were determined in the soft coal mines of the west by the conditions of the mines and the cost of living. "Where the business did not permit the payment of liv ing wages, according to the American standard of living, that business ought to be closed up. : "I would say," he continued, "as Sherman said of war, that the strike is hell." Men who have been out on strike went back to work injured morally and not the same men. The children of strikers had been taught to taunt the children of other workmen. The relations between capital and labor were not improv ing, he said, although he believed the ccal strike com' mission has acomplished good results. lie referred to the labor troubles in Colorado, San Francisco and Chicago, which were blocks to the improvements of general conditions of the country. It was becoming more and more manifest, he said, that capital and labor were dependent on each other. Asked if he did not think that conditions were im proving as to lawlessness, Bishop Spalding said that it did not seem so to any extent. The riotous condi tions in the anthracite strike were not so bad as the newspapers had made them, although there was picket ing and always would be violence in strikes. "I don't think there is in America any class of em ployers who deliberately do their men wrong," he de clared. He believed the American people entertained good will toward labor and the distressed. He con sidered them free from anarchistic ideas, and said that the tendency to socialism is only a minor one. He regarded a permanent tribunal of greater value than one created for each dispute. He did not believe in sympathetic strikes. The strike, he replied when asked if he would deny to labor the right to strike, was the cue weapon of labor organizations, and to deny that right would be to deny the right to organize; but the great object sought, he added, is to bring about peaceful settle ments without strikes. Labor organizations, he said, had accomplished much good. He was satisfied that any president would appoint a non-partisan tribunal. He had. asked Mr. Mitchell if labor organizations would thrive if they lost the approval of public opin ion, and he replied they would not, but would disin tegrate. He referred to the settlement of the coal strike, suggesting conditions which would have re suited had that dispute not been settled. ways, the telegraph and telephone, and those util ties arc managed with the single purpose of giving the best service at the least cost. I don't mean to nay that their operation is ideally perfect, but it is ex tremely satisfactory, and under no circumstance would we desire that they be placed under, privat ownership and control. "Our labor situation is," he continues, "preferabl to that of any other country, for we have a board of arbitration which upholds the scale impartially be tween employer and employe, and whose decision is as binding and potential as the decree of any court of law. It ia in effect a system of compulsory arbi tration, and the verdict that is rendered h obligatory on both parties." Are you Bilious? Do you have Sick Head aches?

' ' 4 UIo.m4V The christening of the big battleship that was launched at Newport News last week after the state of Virginia the seat of the Confederate government during most' of its existence and th home of the i under commander of the Confederate forces serves as a reminder of how completely the old sectional spirit between the north and the south has disappeared. There is now in the navy, or soon will be, six battle ships named after states that seceded from the union namely, Virginia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana. Georgia and Texas, while there are two that are nam ed after states in which secession sentiment was very pronounced Kentucky and Missouri. Of the nine armored cruisers already built or in process of build ing thtee are also named after southern states Maryland, Tennessee and West Virginia. Only four southern states are now unrepresented among the big ger vessels the two Carolinas, Florida and Arkansas and no doubt their turn will come. It was a hajv py inspiration that thus led the government to ig nore the past in naming these marine defenders of the republic. Steamer Colon Ashore. Sun Kruitclftco, April IS.

Senator Burton says "If the whole, absolute truth were known about my case, the world would stand appalled." We do not believe the world would be shocked or surprised at any development of the case.

The emperor of Japan has conferred high honors on an officer who was killed at Port Arthur. He is following the American custom of conferring honor ary titles on the dead ones. It does not seem right to refer to those clashes be tween Russia and Japan as battles when the loss of life is smaller than that which follows a race riot in an Arkansas village.

Lord Macaulay something less than a century ago picked out a New Zealander as the man who in his fancy should come from the center of a future civ ilization to view the ruins of London. The New Zea lander of Macaulay 's acquaintence, if he ever knew one, was a savage of the first water, and therefore his prophetic fancy leaped far into the remote future and pictured a most unlikely transition. But the New Zealand of today is a progressive country and one whose' people are as democratic, or more so, than those of any other country on earth, says the Ledger, The New Zealanders are experimenting along several lines of social and economic discussion and their ex perience is likely to prove valuable to the people of many older commonwealths. Reports from New Zea land differ, some being to the effect that the innova tions that have been attempted are failures and have driven capital out of the country. There are others who regard the experiments tried in New Zealand as successful. The Washington Post quotes a native New Zealander, by the name of Mr Charles Ratjen, a merchant of Auckland, to the effect that "there are many conditions of existence in New Zealand that make life worth living. We have as much freedom as any people could want, and yet our government is probably the most paternal in the world. We have state proprietorship of the rail- A local milliner reports are the first buyers of new spring bonnets. Naturally, the society people will wait until the fashions are thus established.
