UK loilci'rt of Hclghtm lmvo virtually won tho firnt poli tical sl.nuo vot atk'iiiptod thoy hnvo lorccu tho gov eminent to rorede from Hk position and compromise witl tho advocates of universal (male') suffrage. The general strike has long boon advocated by Social ists and esnoeiallv hv Svndiealists as tho logical weapon for la nor to eniorce not oniy us ueiiuiiuls- ami mere seems tivenoss. As the first of its kind, the Belgian strike is worthy of studv. Its avowed object was to force the substitution of manhood suffrage for pural voting. Its immediate provo cation was the defeat of Liberal and Socialists coalition in iwirliamentarv elections. These elements introduced the manhood suffrage bill, which was refused consideration by the clerical majority and the king. Then followed the strike. Under the prevailing system in llelgium, every citizen over 25 years of age. has one vote. Every citizen over JI5 years of age with one or more children, paying a dollar house tax, has a second vote, as does any citizen over 125 veal's of age who owns $100 worth of property. Two ex tra votes are given to graduates 01 universities. -to uiuce holders xul to former "office holders. Xo one has more than three votes and a failure to vote is punished as a misdemeanor. The number of voters in Belgium in 19U was 1,700,000, of whom 995.000 had one vote, :)H5,000 two votes and aiO.OOO three votes. This created a class government based upon property, education and office holding, that spelled discrimination for the people and enabled the classes to out vote the masses. Xo violence was attempted by the strikers, many of whom sent their wives and families out of the country to be eared for by socialists in other nations, thus enabling a longer strike and creating a bond of sympathy with their fellow toilers in other lauds. Troops were ordered out bv the government although there were no demonstra tions. Furthermore the army is honeycombed with so cialism and it is doubtful if the soldiers would have obeyed orders to shoot down their brothers. The strikers had popular support and were sustained bv public opinion, because their cause was a just one, and because their opponents represented the reactionary and stand pat forces of special privilege. Many employers gave active support to the- strikers. Many continued their employes wages. Others contributed to strike funds. Koligious and political influences were also apparent. Although this strike was successful, it does not follow that another political strike would be especially if the cause was a poor one or an unjust one. Immense masses of men are hard to organize and restive of discipline. Invoked in an unjust cause the political strike, like the industrial strike, would fail. It probably could never be used to the extent the Syndicalists contemplate its use but can be made an extremely effective weapon to accomplish needed political reforms, to sweep away in a few days the barricades of privilege that caste has built for centuries across the paJofjmnjaiy)rojress The record for large eggs set by Mrs. Dinner's White Leghorn hen bos been beaten by a Crystal Orping ton owned by MUs May Phlpps of Mcdford. This latest large egg meas ured 8 Inches In the larger circum ference and 7 in the smaller. It was thoughtfully laid on the night before Easter and was displayed to the won derment of tho neighborhood. The egg was placed In a bowl with several large onions and when these were dumped out it broke in two, bringing to light a smaller, perfectly shelled egg, which bad been contained in tho larger one. There Is enough left of tho large egg to show Its record breaking size. DETECTIVE GETS SIX MONTHS FOR SPIRITING AWAY WITNESS SEATTLE, Wush., April 23.
