FAVORS
THE POLITICAL STRIKE.
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.
