"FASHION" AND IMIOI'METY.
The vicar of what is known us a
rUgrimace church in Paris has posted
i ;t notice forbidding entrance into tK
I church, of women wearing low-necked
| dresses, or skirts not reaching "down
to the ankle. This action was taken in
i line with the pastoral letter of Cardinal
I Amette, Archbishop of Paris, protest-
ing against the present style of dress
| of "fashionable" women of that city.

j will have on the prevailing style '.here-

has been too much of subtle inference
that England was desirous, in the

burdens upon the United States. As
it is, it is but a question whether we

A "GRATIFICATION" WORTH
CONTINUING.
Not the least deplorable fact of the
calamitous coal strike, now called off,
was that it took five weeks or more to
arrive at the very simple combination
of concessions which the miners' of-
ficers have accepted The period of
forewarning of the strike was con-
siderable, and statistics of production
costs, including wage scales, and
profits, doubtless were as workable
into the 14 per cent wage-increase of-
i fer prior to November 1 as subsequent
f to that date of the strike call. Too,
if the miners are entitled to Govern-
ment investigation and determinate
recommendation of a still larger in-
crease of wages and better working
conditions now, certainly they were so
entitled no longer ago than September,
when they formally precipitated this
bitter controversy.
That their general committee in In-
dianapolis acted rightly in accepting
the President's proposal for immediate
return to work pending final settle-
ment of their wage dispute by his spe-
cial commission, is obvious; and if
miners, operators and Government of-
ficials alike are "highly gratified" over
that decision, certainly the stricken i
It may be recalled that Queen Vic-
toria of England many years ago se-
verely disapproved of the fashion of
lowneck dresses, and not only forbade
ladies of the court to wear them, but
debarred them completely from all
court functions. Nevertheless, fash- ;
ionable women continued to follow this
style when not in the presence of the
Queen. It may be recalled, also, that
other peculiar fashions—the "Mother1
1 Hubbard," for example—met the con- j
demnation of laws and ordinances in
some of the States, and were forbidden
for street wear. Whether that hastened
the decline of the garment, or whether
the fashion changed only when those
who set the styles were ready for * |
change, according to usual procedure,
deponent sayeth not; but it is not on
record that the fashionable world has I
ever bowed to any other decree than
that of its own making.
The fashionable woman—and some- |
times the fashionable man—insists
that to be out of the fashion is to be
out of the world, and worldly people
are a law unto themselves; but good
sense and good taste do prevent truly j
fashionable people from going to ex-
tremes or from following a style that
offends a judicious sense of propriety
international comment is of more value
than tons of detraction. It is the spirit
of the League itself. In this spirit
alone can nations work together for
the peace of the world. In this spirit
the elements within the League which
are not acceptable can be changed, and
the organization grow into usefulness
and power.

AUSTIN, Tex., Dee. 11.—Where the Text-
book Commission has adopted textbooks
covering specific subjects it would be
without power to adopt a different book
I being a general treatise upon ull the sub-
| Jects theretofore adopted in separate
• books, and no such general book could

upon Hpeeific subjeets theretofore adopted,
uecordiug to an opinion given today by
the Attorney General's Depurtinent to the
Textbook Commission. The opinion was
prepared by Assistant Attorney Geueral
C. W. Taylor.
It Is further held in the opinion that the
Textbook Commission having adopted text-
books In iihyslology, physical geography,
physics, coi'inlRtry and agriculture, wouid
be without power to adopt a general
science text covering each of these subjeets
if the same are to be substituted for either
of the subjects covered by the textbooks
upon specific subjects.
A textbook on general science, It Is said,
might be adopted und put in use in the
schools, provided it did uot displace or be

LEVEL-HEADED LABOR AND
SENSIBLE CAPITAL
m
"The radical element in the general
committee made incendiary speeches
against operators and others interested
in settling the strike, and for a time
threatened to defeat efforts to settle.
The conservative clement, led by Act-
ing President Lewis and Secretary
Green, later gained control of the situa-
tion."
Those lines stand out from the mass
of reports of the final conference of |
miners' executives.
Language very similar occurs in con-;
nection with the calling, the conduct
and the compromising of almost every i
strike by organized labor.
The lesson is plain, and the practice
of it should be universal, quite as a
matter of course:
If only level heads and sound sense
ruled on the employes' side and^on
the employers' side, alike, the number
of industrial disagreements that would
progress to the striking point would bo
inconsequentially few, if, indeed, any
strike there wruld be,
Level-headed conservatives are need-
ed by both capital and labor in the
handling of such touchy situations; not
hot-headed, irresponsible, insubstantial
"radicali."1
Strike agitators, professional trou-
ble-makers, paid "walking delegates"
cannot handle such situations rightly,
and ought to be kept away from them,
for labor's own sake; because the great
need ii not for gall and hate and spite,
but for the spirit and intelligence of
give and lake.
There is no need of strikes. There
ia no excuse for strikes. The mission
of men on earth is not to club or
3tarve one another into submission.
May the conservatives very soon con-
trol any and every instance of in-
Swtrlal negotiation.
Emma Goldman and Alexander Berk-
man are incu'able anarchists who have
j Poles or other residents who acquire nlaje themselves conspicuous by their
marketable stuff in the due course of
production and trade, and then sell or
attempt to sell it for several times its
cost, or hoard it against an opportun'ty
for extortion that ruthlessly regards
the purchaser's necessity.
If, perchance, he had Brotheim ex-
emphatic dissatisfaction with our sys-
tem of government and their contempt
for our laws and political institutions.
It should have been demonstrated to
Alex and Emma long ago that if they
did not like this country they might
find some other that suit them better.

Chairman ^ViH 11. nays of the llepub

piuiued just how the special committee

.Mr. iiays said the cpiumittee wouid divn. •
in groups which would be made up a
cording to the special fitness of' the meri
ber to consider particular subjects. The*-
groups would concentrate on their special
ty. The conclusion oi each yrotip woul'l
be submitted to u special committee which
would act as sort of a clearing house foe
all suggestions submitted, either by th -
groups or from the outside. It woul'l
be the business of the clearing house com
mittee, Chairman Hays said, to co-ordlnai
all the various suggestions und It would
be the co-ordinated product which woui 1
be submitted to the committee on resoln
tions of the National convention.
"It is not the purpose," said Mr. Hay.-
"to deprive the committee on resolutions
of the convention to uny extent of its pre-
rogative to frame the platform for sub
mission to the convention. But everybody
knows that a platform hastily throwu to-
gether iu two days of a convention is an
expediency ruther than a policy. The issues
this year are so importunt and rej|iiire *•»
much study we believe the resolution*
committee of the convention will be grate
ful for the suggestions and the Informa-
tion which the committee on policies of
the National committee will be able t<»
make as a result of its six mouths' stud>
And, as a result of this study and con
ceutrutlon by the best minds of the party
on the Issues, we hope to have the con-
vention adopt a platform that will have ;i
good economic effect upon the country."

LOCKHART. Tex.. Dec 11.—The
near approach of the holidays and the
lartfe family gatherings Is causing the
economical housewife considerable anx-
iety. With eggs scarce and bringing
tifl cents per dozen, butter at 75 cents
per pound, turkeys at 35 to 40 cents
per pound, chickens almost as high,
and everything that goes to make up
the groaning tabl»» so numerous during
Christmas week, the chances are that
some will call off the feast. Another
serious factor whleh enters Into the
make-up ot the dinner is the total ab-
sence of sugar In Lockhart. and pies
and cakes Just must have some sugar.
Fruit cakes are not so plentiful, either,
this year, and the scarcity of that cake
will be more apparent this year than
ever before. Proper preservatives can-
not be had and many are not making
them. As a whole, the Christmas holi-
days will be lacking tills year In many
of the Joya of other holidays gon* by.
