Shall We Fly.

If the north pole remains undiscovered
1t will not be because Of inactivity on the
part of aeronauts. One of the principal
features of the geographical congress which
was held in London lately was the highly
endorsed proposition of Mr.. Aniree to reach
the center of the polar circle by means of
a balloon; a number of em,nen. scientists
were apparently convinced that the scheme
was feasible. Now comes Prof. Serge De
Savine, who alleges his intention of thor
cughly exploring the Arctic Circle with a
balloon that will practically be two bal
looms, his inventive genius having made 1t
plain to him tina. the double-headed ar
rangement will permit him 10 rise and fall
as he pleases and so avoid or take ad-
vantage of the uppe- currents. We shall
probably. or improoably, have the pleasure
OF seeing Prof Savine before he starts
northward. for he has announced his inten-
ton of first voyagiEg from Paris to New
York in his airship. Prof. Savine says his
balloon Is almost ready, and he fully ex-
poets to make his transatlantic trip within
the next month or two, declaration that
Is deeply interesting because it deals with
the present instead of with the future. Mr.
Andree's promise to start for the pole next
summer is completely outranked by Prof
SAVINGS announcement that we may ex-
pect him within few weeks.

Many other cities may be turning out
longer lines of paraders today in honor of
the great holiday of the American toilers,
palm in any competition for good order,
for the attractive appearance of the march
ing column, and for the intelligence and
patriotism of those who participated in
the demonstration. Five thousand better
citizens and cleverer workElen could not
land. Five thousand stauncher lovers of
tho American flag and all 1t signifies could
not be found in any city. The parade and
the incidental exercises of the day here in
Washington indicate that the labor organi-
cations are strong and thriving. Fighting
with fair means for what is right, for what
is good. and clean. and honest, and patri-
otto the District workngmen will never
lack for friends, not alone among the en-
ployed, but among the employers of the
city, who have long ago learned that the
dearest Of all investments Is the hiring of
workmen simply because they are cheap.
and who realize. reasoning simply on self
ish grounds. that short hours produce the
best results In the end. The demonstra-
tons of approval that greeted the march
ers all along the line show that the citi-
zens generally are in hearty sympathy
with the trade organizations, and The Star
extends its congratulations to Chief Mar
shall McHugh and his assistants upon the
fine display.

Lnbor's Great Day.

Before the coming of the civilization of
this era, in which We Americans ere proud
to be factors of prominence, there was no
such term and no such thing as the dig
nifty of labor" Perhaps toll is no more
popular nov with the individual than it
was In former days. but while toll of some
kind or other Is practically compelled in
the cases of us all, there can be no COM
parison instituted between the conditions
of the laborer of Two hundred years ago
and the laborer of today. Time was when
manual effort was regarded as degrading
bat such a now-unreasol:able conclusion
could then be excused because unskilled
labor was performed almost exclusively by
slaves or those who had recently beer
slaves. Today the dignity of labor is recog-
nized among self-evident truths, and in
stead of occupying q slavsh attitude IN
der the rule Of despotic force the working
people under a government OF, by and for
the people are themselves the rulers and
govern themselves. Instead OF the old day
Hght-to-dark program Of labor ten hours a
day constitute the general average, while
many CT the trades in specially-favored To-
calities find it possible and mutually profit
able to limit the number OF woriing-hours
to eight Then there has been steady in
Garner, in spite of the fact that the exer-
ton demanded of him has steadily de-
creased in quantity. and as the pay has
grown and the requirements Of dividend
seeking capital become less selfish there
has also been more marvellous improve
ment In labor's surroundngs-the coIdi-
tions under which wages have been and
are being earned. Coinc;dent with this
forward nf 10 haaf
and most beneticent results. is the access
Of educational facilities such as were of
necessity denied even the most enthusiasts
tic of old-time students. 1t was those whom
Lincoln loved to speak of as "the common
people" who instituted and supported the
common schools. and rich has been the re-
ward knowledge Is offered without money
and without price, and acquired knowledge
is In its turn prolific of knowledge that
produces and elevates and gives impetus to
the worlds of science and art and litera-
ture. That any one cause brought all these
desirable conditions into existence may not
reasonably be claimed. but there is none
among enlightened people who will deny
that organized labor can safely insist that
1t has done more than any one other con-
tributor to n AXE things what they are.
The struggle has been unrea sonably pro-
longed. for 1t should ere this have been
plain to every one that strength was to be
found only in oneness of intelligent senti-
ment. harm cny of sensible expression and
unanimity of wise action. This age has to
its credit steady improvement In the lot of
the wage-earner; ample opportunity for
mental training; better homes and sur
passingly-superior home-lfe. 1t is highly
appropriate that organized labor should
mark the presence of Labor Day as that
presence has been and is being recognized
in Washington today. For Labor Day rep
resents in the concrete all that has been
done In the wage-earner's interest duriag
a hundred years past.

The article published elsewhere in The
Star concerning the legislation secured by
local organized labor discloses a list of
measures, every one of which received the
appreciation and some the energetic and
effective support of The Star during the
struggle for their nactment They are
sensible, practical propositions, promoting
the material interests Of the workingnen.
They are not tainted with anarchy, nor
DO they attempt to give expression to any

They commend themselves as fair. SEN

outlined by the local committees is en-

Washington loses valuable citizen and
the newspaper profession beloved and
useful member by the death of Major
Richard Sylvester Of the Washington Post
whose long and successful career of modest
worth has just closed. Major Sylvester did
not belong to the ranks of men whose
names become famous in the land His
was light which he persisted In hiding
under the bushel Of the self-denial which
characterizes the labors of many faithful
newspaper workers The men in his own
line of life knew him and loved him. His
name was a familiar one in Washing
ton to the comparatively few who produce
the daily journals. and his example was
always wholesome and good. The commu-
nifty suffers from the passing away of one
whose pen was ever keen in behalf of
whatever was best in life and of all that
was honest in government.

rer in which municipal affairs are attended
to by those whose only interest in them is
purely and selfshly financial. When a man
or firm enters into contract to do public
or private work. 1t is because the contract
promises to be profitable. If con-
tractor agrees to collect and dispose
of the city's garbage for one year
for the sum of $4,000, he undoubt-
edly expects to make several thousand
dollars profit on the transaction. and he Is
likely to achieve that object without much
regard for the character Of the service rem
dered; and this Is naturally SO with con-
tractors generally. Now. If the garbage
contractor can attend fairly to his business
and at the same time gather in from five to
ten thousand dollars. why might not the
municipality collect and dispose of its own
garbage and save the wide margin which
the contractor applies to his personal uses?
In the matter of street illumination. the
profits are very much greater than they are
likely to be on garbage; hundred towns
have saved in the aggregate an enormous
sum of money by taking into their own
hands the task of supplying their highways
with q suficiency of gas or electric light
AS things now are, Washington Is by far
the N, st desirable place of residence on
this continent, but it will not reach the
funess of its stature as such until the
petty contract system is abolished. and the
waste which is as conspicuous as it is I'M
proper ceases to be.
