AS perfect knowledge of the
science of pathology is necessary to
the successful treatment Of diseases in
the physical body, so also is such sim
liar knowledge necessary in treating
with disorders of the social body, and
as diseases in the former vary in de-
gree and kind. which is also true OF
disorders in the latter, greater and
more varied experience, learning. and
skill are alike necessary where the
troubles are grave in their nature or
are aggravated by reason that they
are OF long standing. That is to say
the cure for most disputes and diff
ferences between master and men de-
ponds principally upon the ability OF
some one in authority to discover the
precise causes leading up to them, and
when these are once known it requires
as rule only common sense and hon
esty to apply the remedy. There are,
as have said. the more serious, and
also the chronic troubles which will
require more heroic or more semitic
treatment 1t should be possible that
such cases, local treatment having
failed, could be at once referred TO
a central or national body, such as
have suggested, and composed Of the
joint representatives of capital and la
Dor From such body, at once so
closely allied and so widely separated
from the conflicting interests involved
only a fair decision need be expected.

Illinois Cooperative Association.

Recently the Union Of Window Glass
Flatteners had been voting on propo-
sition to amalgamate with the other
branches of the window glass trade.
The result may determine, for time
at least whether men shall give pref
erence to the so-called Independent
plants, or to those of the "combine"-
the American Window Glass company,
a trust that undertook to control the
window glass industry, but has only
indifferently succeeded, as is very con-
clusively shown by the constant and
rapid increase Of independent plants.

and was stirring the coal miners of the
Pas-de-Calais district with his ad-

French love Of the spectacular, M. Mil

The Working Man.

The Working Man.
His heartstone is the altar, he the
OF homes sweet sanctuary, day by
day,
In 10y or sorrow, indulgence or feast,
When love unsullied keeps it's gen.
tie sway.
No narrowing envy occupies his preast'
No schemes of avarice distress his
mind;
BY Heaven sent peace his simple life
is blest,
And in his tasks he blesses all man
kind.
His labor brings the harvest to the
plain,
And through his brave exertions
millions live;
He works the miracle that grows the
grain
And all the crops the pregnant acres
give.
To him the crowded city looks for
food;
From him gaunt famine fees and
squalor hides;
His energies sustain the multitude
And where his blessings fall, pale
want subsidies.
For him the sun and stars give forth
their light;
For him the restless ocean GIBBS and
flows;
For him the radiant day, the peaceful
night
And all things beautiful their charms
disclose.
