As time roes on and the Issues be tween the emplo4ng and employed classes of the country become more clearly ifcflnedv the conclusion pre sents Itself lrreslatably that the tradea unions have got to change their pol icy of distributing and qualifying the labor for which they stand and for which they exact specific consideration as to hours and compensation. Ia conversation with a heavy employer of union labor here, lately, the asser tion was made by this big operator, that "he wax perfectly willing to pat- jronlie union help, if he could only get It and pay for it in "degrees," that is, instead of having to pay the same rate of wage to the competent and the Incompetent, the Incompetents bo graded to a scale of compensation analagous to their efficiency." Thla complaint la becoming mani festly broader all the time and every where, Heavy employers are weary of the program and the Issue is to be made soon with every one of the com manding trades, that they shall es tablish degrees and scales that will do away with the rank injustice of paying an apprentice the wages drawn by a master. It would seem to the or dinary observer that the issue is a square - one and entitled to prompt consideration. ; Heir to the Spanlsh'Throna Expected In April. MADRID, March 19.

The whole Christian world it taking eager and devoted cognisance of this great festival in the calendar ot the noble creed they are serving, respect ively. Taken as an expression of glo ry it divide the' adoration ot the hosts ot Christ with that other and even dearer anniversary. Christmas. M4 both are entitled to the last measure of profound honor accorded. They ar the two fundamental epochs of the earthly record made by the gentle Re deemer of Mankind. His birth and resurrection, both accomplished for the regeneration of man. Today signifies the culmination ot the career of this divine agency on earth, and teaches a marvelous and beautiful lesson of the) triumph of faith in the good. All religions are in tensely allegorical, and are so re garded, except by minds with narrow limitations that require the. tangible byway of proof. And the exquisite sto ry, of the resurrection and the ascension even in allegorical guise, is charged with a wonderful inspiration for the purification of lives and souls; Just as the birth and life of the Christ serves the same divine end. Even the non-Christian is glad to admit this singular beauty and influ ence, and as a motive, an inspiration tor higher and sweeter things, he en joys the right to appropriate it and make full use of It SOCIALISM. The world has ceased the task of laughing socialism out of existence. The doctrine, holds today with a plans, ible tenacity that is nnshakeable, and as time qualifies and simplifies its de mands and methods of application, it will cease to be a vagary, a dream, and will ' take its pdace among the standard cults of human society. The trouble with the socialist plea has been its utter inaptitude to ex isting conditions, and the fervid cham pionship of its votaries for the imme diate use of the doctrine In affairs and places where it would hay wrought ruin, not Only to their system, but to the organism it sought to dis place. It is one of those Immense schemes In which time figures essentially as a pre-requisite, and the advanced so cialist of today realizes this. The wisdom of the creed lies in it careful and timely adjustment to given ele ments of social, industrial and politi cal life, and only upon this plane can it be successfully introduced. The en grafting of one of its great principles at a time, has- given a wonderful im petus to the socialistic idea, and has been the means of making the "doc trine more readily acceptable, be cause the changes, radically socialis tic in origin and intent, were present ed under other auspices) and other names. This was the hypothesis upon which the one great American leader and ex ponent of socialism, Edward Bellamy, presented "the creed, and made it pal atablei He fixed the hour of Its frui tion 125 years away, knowing that It would require that much time, to com. pel recognition and application of ItMi EDITORIAL SALAD. Missouri, unlike Kentucky, still sticks to the gerrymander as constitu tional. According to the Missouri Ideas a nytn ought to have only half representation If he belongs . to the other party. Considerable talk Is" heard In politi cal circles about reactionary candi dates for president The democrats tried this expedient in 1904, and the people wrote 'disaster on the gates of Esopus. Before proceeding to Washington the distinguished coterie of railroad presidents should take sufficient time to concoct a bamboozling hypothetical question to hurl at the chief mag istrate. , The faculty" of Columbia has made a singular admission.
