Labor and Capital.
And these ancient governments too
made a mistake of treating labor as a
commodity, without reference to the
laborers. This mistake was made SOLE
ly in the interest of the employer Of
labor, and from the most ancient times
the nations Of the earth have treated
the laborer, with relation to his labor.
as a personality. They have compelled
him to dispose of his labor and have
even at times, by statutory enactments,
compelled ali young men to learn
trade. But while treating the labor as
inseparable from the personality Of the
laborer, they did nothing to protect
him in his labor. Under the principles
of equal justice to all, the laborer will
be protected in his labor, as the en-
ployer is in his capital. The interests
Of the laborer, and his employer, If
properly understood, are reciprocal.
They are interested to bring about but
one result, the profitable employment
Of labor to the good Of both labor and
capital. It Is to the interest Of capital
to have efficient and contented labor.
1t Is to the interest Of labor. that cap
ital should be profitably employed In or
der to increase the demand for labor.

AMENDMENT IS LOST
Iowa Court, Without Dissent,
Knocks Out Mr.. Titus.
LEGISLATION WAS DEFECTIVE
Other OfiteiaIs Must Now
BE Held.

Des Moines, Iowa, Feb. 1.-The supreme
court to-day affirmed the decision of the
lower court in declaring that the Titus
biennial election law, adopted last No
yember at the polls by 10000 majority,
was mill and void. The effect Of the de-
cision necesslfates the holding of gen
eral state election this fall in Iowa.
The interest aroused in the case has
been general Throughout the state, and
all political parties have been waiting
to hear the result before the work of pre-
pairing for a campaign should start. A
call will be issued within the coming
week for a meeting of the republican state
central committee to select the date for
holding state convention.
The court, in rendering its opinion,
signed it per curiam," there not being
dissenting voice. 1t is contended that
the passage of the amendment by the two
legislatures, which is neeessitated by the
requirements of the constitution, was ac-
companied by defects which were fatal
and of a Vitals nature.
The amendment was first introduced by
Senator Titus of Muscatine in 1898, and
the records of the journals show that it's
passage was in accord with the provision
Of the constitution. The legislature Of 1900

London, Feb. 1.-The Berlin correspond
ent OF the Daily News mentions a rumor
that Emperor William is willing to me-
diate between Great Britain and the South
African republic.
The correspondent recalls that Germany
has sympathetically and repeatedly de-
clined to do so unless the British and the

If there is any truth in the rumor it would
indicate that the British cabinet has aban-
doned its negative attitude regarding me-

There is no doubt that could Emperor
William conclude his visit to England by
lending a hand to end the struggle he
would please a vast majority of his own
nation, which has hitherto watched the
circumstances attending his visit with un-
easy suspicion.
