The United States is nation of

Happily is it to be said that in no
other country is labor more respected.
That at no other time was there such
a demand for labor as today That at
no other time in all history has the
condition of the laboring man peen
better or as good as it is today; never
has he been better clothed, better fed,
better educated, better paid or volun-
tarily had less number of hours to
work. In our colonial period, little
more than hundred years ago, with
wheat at $1.25 bushel, corn 79c, the
average days wages for laboring
man was 43c,. for carpenter S3c, and
other trades proportionately.
The problems confronting the work

lied his conduct and the leadership of
his advisers in the past he will prove
himself, as today, the master of his
own destiny and tasks, rather than
mastered by his surroundings as in
the feudal age.

He denies that he denied he said what
he said /" Mr.. Phillips and
Admiral Schley ought to compare
loops. The Ottumwa man made two
or three while the Marylander made
only one. Burlington Hawk-Eye.
A man who was in Ottumwa recent
ly informs the Cedar Rapids Republi-
can that the democrats of that city
had no intention of seeing Mr.. Phillips
nominated for governor by the demo
Gratis. "A local embarrassment had
arisen. It looked as if Phillips and
his followers might bolt the democrat
ic city ticket. To keep them in line
1T was proposed to offer him support
for the governorship. He took the Of
fer, and got the nomination, much to
the disgust Of many of his fellow
townsmen, including Charley Walsh
who had said that Phillips candidacy
was so impossible that it amounted to
a joke. "-Burlington Hawk-Eye.
The Hon. Thomas Jefferson Phillips,
democratic candidate for governor has
talked again. His first talk was to the
effect that he was sorry the democrats
har reaffirmed the Kansas City plat
FORM He would rather have had a
new deal. His next talk was with an
Ottumwa Courier man in which he
was made to say that the Burlington
interview was "a fake" But Mr..
Davidson, of the Burlington Hawke
went to Mr.. Phillips and convinced him
that they did meet and did have the
conversation. And this brings us to
the third talk from Mr.. Phillips which
is to this effect: "The statement in
the Ottumwa Courier, repudiating the
interview was unauthorized" Mr..
Phillips then adds: Il told the Cour-
Ter man the Hawk-Eye interview was
fake, but meant that did not real
ize that l was being interviewed for
publication until after the conversa-
ton was over.'
Here we have new definition of a
fake interview Usually speaking a
fake interview is an interview made
up by the reporter without having
seen the person interviewed. A fake
Interview is false interview, an in
terview which did not take place. The
only conclusion that can be reached is
that Mr.. Phillips is more or less I'M
used to public life and that he is a
man who isn't certain where he stands
on some prominent public questions.
The habit Of being interviewed is
one that will fall into still greater de-
prayity. The interview in Iowa Jour
nalism, since the unfortunate Conger
bordereau, has had terrible history
Cato Sells fell after his Des .Moines
interview. Mr.. Cummins got himself
mixed up with the Fairalls and the
Abrams and otherwise entangled with
a question that ought not to be an
issue by talking about the mulct law
and now comes the saddest specimen
of all in the form of Mr.. Phillips
