Barre evening telegram. (Barre, Vt.) 1898-19??, 1902-12-03

Individual Initiative, without hamperine
and cramping the industrial development
great difficulties and one which it is OF
the highest Importance to solve on lines
OF sanity ana farslghted common sense as
an era of federation and combination.
Exactly as business men find they must
often work through corporations. and as
lions to grow larger, SO it is often neces-
sary for laboring men to work in fedora
lions and these have become important
factors Of modern industrial life. Both
can do much good and as necessary
corollary they can both do evil. Opposf-
ton to each kind of organization should
pad IN the conduct Of any given corpora
ton or union, not of attacks upon COR
p I,ra ms as as such nor upon unions as
benehcent work for our people has been
accomplished through both corporations
and unions Each must refrain from ar
the rights Of others. Organized capital
and organized labor alike should remem-
Der that IN the long run the interest Of
the interest OF the general public, and the
conduct OF each must conform to the
1i run rules Of obedience to the
and fair dealing toward all. Each should
remember that in addition to power it
must strive after the realization Of

guaranteed his liberty and his right TO do
as ne likes with his property or his labor
rights OF others. 1t is Of the highest i'm
portance that employer and employee
alike >, should endeayor to appreciate each
d ne viewpoint Of the other and the sure
long run II either grows to take as habit
ual an attitude OF sour hostility and dis
trust toward the other. Few people de-

resentatives both Of capital and labor
ana there are many such-who work con-
tlnuaiiy to bring about good understand,
upon broad and kindly sympathy between
employers and employed. Above all we
need to remember that any kind Of class
ainlimosity in the political world is, if pos
sible, even more wicked even more de-
structive to national welfare, than sec
tionai, race or religious animosity. We
can get good government only upon condi-
tlon that we keep true to the principles
upon which this nation was founded and
l)'dge each man not as part of a class
but upon his individual merits All that
we have right to ask of any man, rich
or poor whatever his creed, his occupa-
ton, his birthplace or his residence is
mat he shan act well and honorably by
neither for the rich man as such nor, for
the poor man as such; we are f"s the up
right man. rich or poor. So far as the
CONSTITUTIONAL lovers of The national gov
and vital moment to the nation, they
should be exercised in conformity with
the principles above SGT forth
1t is earnestly hoped that secretary of
commerce may be created, with seat in

questions affecting labor and capital. the
tons through which both labor and CAPT
tai now find expression. the steady tend
ency toward the employment of capital in
huge corporations and the wonderful

in the international business world justify
an urgent demand for the creation of

Is desirable that some such measure as

vance toward dealing with and exercising

with large powers, which could be In

International tribunal which sits at The
Hague Is an event OF good omen from

where possible to invoke such a perma-
