city has favorably passed upon the
referendum vote issued by the state
convention of the state federation Of
labor for the purpose of placing a sal
aried organizer in the field. From
present indications the proposition
will carry almost unanimously
throughout the state and No. 10 is to
be congratulated for being among the
first local unions, which has voted in
favor of the proposition.
Labor Movement Ideals.
The person joining labor organize
ton does SC from motives of selfinter-
est, but, when in order to benefit him
self. he unites with others in the
uplifting of the whole, then such sell
fishness, so called, is transformed into
something else. 1t represents an en-
| lightened self-interest which is essen
TALLY moral and is on a par with
patriotism.
| The selfish person seeking his own
ends to the exclusion of others and
preferring immediate gain, tries to
advance himself by preying upon the
4 rest. To make common cause with
| your fellows is to sacrifice temporary
conveniences and involves risks which
| the narrow minded self-seeker will not
assume, no matter how promising the
rewards. In judging the motives of
organized workmen this distinction
must be made, otherwise it is difficult
for the outsider to understand the
considerations which actuate them.
There is another distinction of equal
4 Importance.
The unorganized workman accepts
conditions as they happen to be as the
best possible. Labor power to him ID
but commodity. If the demand is
sucn as to make him dispose of his
labor at price barely sufficient to
keep him alive he is simply unfortu-
nate, that is all. When he associates
with his fellows for the purpose of
regulating the labor supply, then his
view point changes radically. For
the first time he questions the justice
of the industrial relations and re,
CARDS human energy as being some+
thing more than merchandise, the
value of which is to be fixed by what
lit brings on the open market. The
union becomes to him the starting
point of new course in life. He is
more inclined to assert himself as a
man and insist upon his rights, he Sc
lCuT6S independence
ton and is not required to subordinate
himself to the whole. He is strength
ened by the support of the rest, while
yielding little, if any, of his own in
dividuality. The restrictions he Is
subject to are simply such as every
person should be willing to observe
voluntarily who has any consideration
, for others.
To the outsider, and particularly the
employer who is confronted with the
union, these restrictions appear tyran-
meal and the meetings SAVIOR of con-
spiracies, but as the business of the
unions is transacted, these
,, ideas have not been justified
by the facts. 1t is for the
friends of the movement to emphasize
this exceedingly important side and
impress the members with their re-
!, sponsibilities.

Growth of Consumption.

In colonial times the consumption of
malt liquors was relatively small and
increased slowly The wide distribu-
ton of small quantities of wine manu-
featured from grapes or currants, the
introduction of tea, the general con-
sumption of all classes of distilled
spirits, and the household manufac-
ture of cider and fruit brandies salts
fled the tastes of the people, and the
demand for malt liquors was of slow
and gradual development.

Wine An Ancient Beverage.


Wine was manufactured before the
dawn of history. The explanation of
this is simple. 1t is the produce of
natural forces requiring neither me-
chanical powers nor manufacturing
appliances. In the laboratory of earth
and air, sugar is developed in the
grape and in turn converted into alco-
hol. The accidental crushing of the
grape and collecting of small quanti-
| ties of it's juice We're followed by the
discovery Of its transformation and
| Intoxicating properties after exposure
| followed close on accidental discovery
until chance gave way to design, and
| primitive wine-making was ushered
| in.
The first wine manufactured in the
United States was made from the ma
tive wild grapes by the Spanish colon
lists in Florida, about 1865. An at
tempt at grape culture was made in.
| Virginia in 1910, three years after the
settlement of Jamestown, by French
men, who came to the colony to plant
a vineyard, but the early efforts in
this direction We're very discouraging.
First Successful Attempt.
L ne hlSI lSdlly 5uECGSSlul dILclhDI
at wine-making was made by Nicho-
las Longworth at Cincinnati, Ohio. He
experimental first with vines procur-
ed from the Swiss settlement at We
way Indiana, but later abandoned
these for the Catawba, which he pro-
cured from John Album, of George
town, d. c. This particular variety
of grape has played an important part
in the development of the wine indus
try of the United States. In 1920 Mr..
Album called attention of congress to
the fact that he had succeeded in
making a superior quality Of wine
4 from the Catawba grape and asked
the use of certain public lands in the
District of Columbia, for an expert
mental vineyard. His request was
refused.

--Dscision In an Odd Oi-

New York, Aug. 18.-Judge Green
baum, in decision handed down in the
supreme court. on the application OF
Mrs. Agnes Neuhaus for alimony and
counsel fee, held that physical vio-
lence is not necessary in order to con-
stitute "cruel and inhuman treatment
of q wife.
Mrs. Neuhapssbrought an action for
separation from DR.. George Z. Neu-
haus. She was allowed a. counsel fee
Of $500 and $3.50 a month temporary
aliTony. Mrs. Neuhaus alleges that
"for the last six months the defend
ant had stated to her that he hated
her; that he had for moro than five
years previously associated with wo-
men unknown to her; and that his
affections were entirely withdrawn
from her and transferred to a woman
he had employed as copyist. He
demanded On several occasions that
she bring-a suit for absolute divorce,
saying he would furnish the evidence,
and thai he could not be happy except
in the company of the copyist, and
wished to marry her when he got his
divorce. If she would not he sai1 he
would leave with the copyist and aban-
don her."
The defending claimed the language
and course Of conduct imputed to him
were insufficient in law for his wife
to obtain decree of separation f,om
him, and said: "The law could not
compel him to love his wife, nor could
the law prohibit him from becoming
-nfatuated with another woman"
II an satisfied said Judge Green
baum, that the words cruel and in
human treatment in the code were
not intended to be restricted to acts
of physical violence. A construction
OF the words which would limit them
to acts of bodily injuries would In this
age be intolerable, and numerous au-
thorities in recent years uphold this

Emperor William viewed the affair
