a portion of the commission has got beyond Mr..
Green's control, and he has become so yexed

for the commission except once hereafter. In
this matter Mr.. Green has taken too much for

HOLIDAY OBSERVANCE

The observance of Labor Day be-
comes more general every year, but as
yet nobody seems to have thought of
devising better method of observing
it than that at first adopted.
When the day was first set apart its
observance was in the nature of self
assertion. 1t was at time of disturb
ance when the right OF labor to organ
ize for the promotion Of its own well
fare was far less generally recognized
than now. The observance naturally
took the form Of demonstration of
strength by parade, an assertion of
right by manifestation of numbers
The conditions have changed STAGE
then, and no sound-thinking man now
denies or hesitates stoutly to affirm the
right OF labor in this complex indus
trial age to strengthen itself by organ.
ization. The necessity for demonstra.
tion has passed away, and while there
is no possible objection to a parade il
those who share in it desire to parade,
IL seems a pity that a holiday oc-
urring at so pleasant time of year
should not be spent in more recreatiye
and pleasure-giving ways. Parading
is, after all, closely akin to work, and
a holiday is most happily spent in
playing.
But we Americans are not possessed
Of much originality in such matters.
We go on year after year celebrating
Fourth of July after an absurdly ira
ditiOnal fashion which has become a
WEAKNESS to both flesh and spirit, and
have not ingenuity enough to devise a
better plan. Why should not sturdy
workers who know how to be jolly
upon occasion teach us how to spend a
holiday pleasurably? Why should not
Labor Day be made model of holi.

NATIONAL GUARD

What the National Guard want is
not an encampment this year but
funds TO pay their armory rent, buy
uniforms, and have the brigade put in
the best possible order, with the latest
and best of everything pertaining to
modern warfare.
Encampments are all right after the
companies are properly cared for, and
are not behind years armory rent,
and without their knees sticking out
OF their pantaloons.
We want a National Guard in reality,
and not simply on paper. The time
has come TO have the affairs handled
In a business manner, and not as a
hobby, and for the sake OF having
certain ones make living from it.
The National Guard is part of the
state government, and should be a
credit TO the state.
The people are willing to be taxed
for its support, and they in return de-
mand a military and business-like adj
ministration. 1t is the creature of no
man nor should it be the plaything Of
any officer.
The citizen has the right to criticize
and no official should be offended, for
the state must be obeyed, even If the
stars fall,-from decrepit generals. I"
A perfect National Guard should be
the proper substitute for Pinkerton-
ism, and it should and would be valua-
bic in Tany other ways.
