THE OPINION OF JEFF DApIs.
What He Has 10 Say About the
Capital aud Labor Problem.

GALVESTON, TEXAS, April 24.-The follow.
ing letter from ex- President jefferson Davis
of the defunct southern Confederacy, to II
W. Pope of Marshall Texas, in which Mr.,
Davis gives his views us to what legislation
might be adopted to bring about harmony
and unity of action between capital and
labor, has just been made public:
BEAUvoIR, MISS, March 81, 18SG.-1O Me
Hon. II. w. Pope-MY DEAR SIR: Fully ap-
preciating the compliment conveyed by
your request for my views as to what legis-
latton might be adopted to adjust the con
flict now going on between capiialand labor,
l regret that the compliment is so little
merited. The old war between capital and
labor has called forth the best intellects OF
Europe. 1t has disturbed commerce, over
thrown governments, produced anarchy
and crept from the wreck without solving
the problem. With us the contest Is In Its
incipient state and happily 1t may be, that
something can be done to check its growth.
Selfinterest and free competition for labor
will, whenever laborers are abundant, give
to the rich the power to Cypress the poor.
We cannot legislate to destroy the motive
of self-interest for that lies at the founda-
tion of material progress and our efforts
must therefor be directed to unlfying the
interest of labor and capital as fur as this
may be done, by the legislature of tie
state. The present form of the conflict In
our country ts between associated
labor and organizations employing it.
1t is not sufficient answer to say
that the price of labor has advanced
unless 1t can be shown that the profits Of
labor have moved pari passu with the
profits of capital, for In this, as in other
things of comparative welfare, we must
consider the relative improvement. The
standard of comfort rises proportionately
to the increase Of wealth in country. Your
idea Of court OF arbitration l think has
much to recommend 1t. The organization
of such court, SO as to secure equally the
confidence of both contending parties
would require both liberty and discretion,
and 1t would be nee dful that their decisions
should be had on something like a co-opera-
tive principle of industrial partnership, in
which the wages Of the employees should be
measured by the profits OF the corporation.
If in this manner, a community Of interest
could be established, the welfare and con-
tentment Of both would seem to be pos
sible result. With sincere regard and best
wishes for you and yours. am your friend,
JEFFERSON DAVIS.

A MARKET STREET FIRE.
Flames in GEORGE ID. CIeIand's shoe
store.

Smoke issuing from George D. C1eland's
shoe store, No. 424 Market street, about
9.15 o'clock Thursday night, Twas the cause
of the sounding of the alarm of fire from
box No. IL, in front of the city hall. The
fire department and police officers re-
sponded promptly, but some time elapsed
before the fire could be located. Finally
it was found in pile of rubbish in the
rear end of the cellar.
Before the police officers arrived some
body demolished a plate-glass panel in
one of the front doors and several men
began to carry out goods, but they were
promptly ordered to stop.
When the flames were located cellar
window was broken and hose was run
into the cellar, and soon there were two
streams playing on the fire. In several
places the flames nearly burned through
the store floor. They crept up behind
some drawers containing rough boots and
rubbers and also assembled the stairway
and destroyed some clothing belonging
to employees. To avoid trouble with the
electric lights the wires running into the
building were cut.
The fire department and the police
officers worked admirably and no water
was used on the store floor. Although
some of the stock was much heated it was
not damaged. A new floor will be re-
quired in the rear part of the store and q
few minor repairs will be necessary. 1,
is suspected that the fire resulted from
spontaneous combustion. The damage
is covered by insurance, placed by f. L.
Gilpin & Co. As yet the exact loss has
not been estimated.

A GOOD SHOWING.
How Wilmington Compares with
Other Cities i'm Regard TO Deaths
from ZymOtic Diseases.

How Wilmington Compares With
Other Cities i'm Regard TO Deaths
from ZymOtic Diseases.
Registrar Frazer has compiled from a
table of vital statistics published in the
Conn, for 1885, table of the total death
rate and per cent of deaths from zymotic
diseases, in 10 cities. The death rate
ranges from 1878 per 1000 inhabitants
in Oakland, CAL, to 1888 in New York
City, Wilmington standing third with
1926. In the per cent of deaths from
zymotic diseases, however, Wilmington is
the lowest with 1921, BrooSlyn's rate OF
1925 being the highest. st. Paul, Mimi.
with total death rate of only 1908 per
1000, has percentage of deaths from
zymotic diseases of 37.00. In this con
nection Registrar Frazer says:
''It speaks well for Wilmington in q
sanitary point, having lower percentage
of deaths from zymotic diseases than the
IL cities named, and lower death rate in
the 600 inhabitants than 16 of the tame
cities. Our people can boast of our stand
ing, as compared with other cities, In the
matter of health and sanitary measures.
II speaks well for our Board of Health.
hope this will call the attention of our
people to the excellent showing made by
our cityiin having the best record out Of
II cities, north, south, east and west.
This should encourage our people to give
our local boards of health and the State
boards also, such aid as is needed from
time to time to push their work, and en-.
deavor to keep to the front in this matter
of health reports and low rates."
