ness could settle the difference between
capital and labor the contention wouio
have come to an end long ago. There Is
a disposition now on the part of each
to throw aside the methods formerly
employed and start over again IN the
work of placing capital and labor on a
better footing.
Much that has been done heretofore
to bring the two great elements OF IN
dustry to better understanding mas
been practically wasted effort. The
man who employs labor has learned that
all his efforts to combat the formation
of unions have been without avail. The
employer who decreed that only non
union men should be on his payroll might
as we'll have gone to the top OF one OF
his factories and whistled against the
gale so far as eliminating trouble was
concerned. Laboring men, too. have
realized that the best way of pro-
noting their interest is not by cause

said they must stand or fall together.
The only profit that has come to any
one in keeping labor and capital from a
better understanding has been reaped
by the demagogue. Men who sought po-
litical advancement by counterfeiting u
feeling of regard for laborng men have
found temporary advantage in stirring

champions of labor are Joined with cap
ital in a movement to break down the
barriers that have kept the wage Garner
and his employer at a distance. The
men representing capital are equally
disinterested. Senator Hanna has re-
ceived all the political honors he ever
hopes for. and nothing resembling po-
litical ambition can even be remotely
limited at by his present attitude as an
employer seeking the friendship of labor.
The outcome of this practical effort to
reconcile the two great forces in the in
dustrial field will be one of the greatest
triumphs the civilized world has seen.
The notion that labor and capital must
wage eternal conflict is preposterous. 1t

both classes to eliminate the artificial
division made with evil purpose. and the
age in which this is done will he the

Milton o. Howell from death to life inn

CRITICAL INSPECTION OF the MESSAGE.

Discussion Of President Roosevelt's
message still continues. Following the
general view of the public, which took ac-
count of the document as whole, came
the more critical observation Of the po-
litical expert who regarded each phrase
and syllable as straws showing the Ii
rection of the wind of administra ton.
Then, later, the pedant and scholar of
analytical mind, viewed the message
through glasses calculated to aid in a
keen inspection of the work of the pres
ident's pen. A hunt was made for liter
airy flaws, and the use of certain common
words was observed with view to holl-
ing the literary habits of the president
up in contrast with those Of his pre-
decessors in office.
Frst-rate authority has announc ed
that President Roosevelt used exactly
23,126 words in his message. He wrote
the definite article 1924 times and the in
definite 629. The conjunction land" he
employed more sparingly than any other
president. In the entire message the
| word appears only 421 times. In three
instances the president has disregarded
the niceties of writing and split his in
finitives. He used the word "strenu-
| ous'' three times in the message. The
| word duty is worked in $40 times.
| These particulars regarding the messag sc
seem to be the finishing touches to the
| exhaustive criticisms written regarding
it. 1t is not expected that further tims
/ will be spent arranging and classifying
! the words or in combing out the rugged
lines by experts. The American people
have said the message is all right, an(
! critical inspection bears out this view.
