we must, therefore, have full discretion
to designate the men we consider COM
petent to perform the work. and to de-
termine the conditions under which that
work shall be prosecuted, the question Of
the competency Of the men being deter
mined solely by us. While disavowing
any Intention to interfere with the proper
functions Of labor organizations, we will
not admit of any interference with the
management Of our business.
This is merely an assertion of the
familiar principle that authority and
responsibility must go together. The
present industrial system may be all
wrong, butso long as we have it, there
is no question that the employer is
the responsible part Of a. business. 1t
follows, therefore, that he is justified
in seeking to exercise such control
over the conditions Of production as
will enable him to support his re-
sponsibility.
The same association lays down the
rule that lockouts will not be coun.
tenanced in any arbitrable dispute I'M
less arbitration has failed.
These are fair words, and if the mer
behind them are broad minded, con,
siderate and fair, such an organiza-
ton will make not only for industrial
peace, but for genuine progress.

WHAT KANSAS NEEDS

Charles M. Harger in an address to the
students Of Kansas University
Kansas, supposed to be the birthplace Of
freedom, has a king and an idol. 1t bows
at the feet of the god of statistics. So
many bushels of this, SO many. tons of
that, SO much money, so much debt so
much gain or loss. Kansas dreams of
products and values, It takes its morning
bath In averages, combs it's hair with
totals, and makes it's meal on patent, pre-
digested-brea kfast-food percentages. My
generation is responsiole-not yours. We
have deemed it better to know the per
capita of the currency than the story Of
the Iliad; We have deserted the song of
Shelleys lark for the clatter of the self

Time was when this commercialsm may
have been; necessar y--when it was the

Agricultural Implements in Canada

K In view of the demand of Canadian
present taft on American goods, the
following statement by the British
Trade Journal is interesting:
1t is difficult at present to ascertain
the extent to which the use of American
agricultural machinery is increasing, if
at all, In the Australian commonwealth,
but there can be no question that Cana
dian implements and appliances are re-
garded with more favor than formerly.
In support Of this statement the
import figures are. cited. In 1899,
about six times as many American as
of Canadian .plows were imported thru
the, port Of Sydney. In 1901 Amer
lean trade had fallen off and Canadian
increased to such a point that the for
ner was only 25 per cent larger than
the latter. In 1899, Canada did not
export any plow materials to Aus
tralia; last year she exported more
than the United States. The Canadians
are not represented in the reaper
and binder trade, but in agricultural
machinery other than binders, reap
ers and plows. Canadian exports to
Sydney were $4,000 greater than
American. -... -
Now, if the Canadian manufacturer
of agricultural implements can COM
pete with the American in Australia
where the goods meet under the same
tariff conditions, it looks as If the pres
ent Canadian tariff and any increase
might be described in the language OF
Henry George as unearned increment
otherwise, pure velvet.", as.
OF course it is.
American exporters to Canada say
that they make just as large a profit
on their Canadian trade as on their
American. They simply add the tar
iff to the cost. The Canadian manu-
facturer sells his goods at substan.
TALLY the same price-and puts the
equivalent Of the tariff into his pocket
! thus making a double profit.
That is why so many American
houses are establishing branches ir
! Canada.

Employers Organizations.

oIhe present year will be remarkable
! in history not only for it's building
trades and other strikes that have
greatly interfered with industry, but
still more so for the spread of organ
lzat1on among employers. All at once
the idea has taken possession of en-
ployers everywhere that they disor-
gained cannot hope successfully to
cope with labor organized. So we see
city, state and even national move
ments to band employers together in
a united front against the united front
OF employees. The result is already
to be seen in a more aggressive atti-
tude on the part of employers, as
for instance when in Chicago the
other day the demand of a union for
rs per cent increase in pay was met
with a wholesale notice of discharge.
The refusal Of such demands is usual
1y answered by a, strike; in this case
the employers struck first. A lockout
is no better than a strike, but it is
often no worse. ~. 50.
It is not a matter Of surprise that
organization of employers has come;
| it is rather one of surprise that it did
not come much sooner, that it has not
kept pace with the development Of
! labor organizations, instead of starting
| just; when the trade unions seemed
| to have complete control of the field.
To those persons who have always
| held that the essential idea of labor
organization was of more Importance
| than the sins Of unions, and that not
/ withstanding all the crimes committed
/ in the name Of labor, organization was
/ better for the men and better for the
| public than Reorganization, the new
| phase of Industrial organization is
welcome If organization among en-
pIoyes is good it ought to be good
among employers, providing its pur-
poses are correct. When a strong
organization of employers shall con-
front strong organization of en-
ployes, the prospect for industrial
peace will be improved. Each side
will respect the strength of the other,
and they can make the wage bargains,
4 not as a weak trader against strong
one, but as two strong traders.
i One Of the strongest of the en-
/ p1oyers' trade organizations has the
following as one of its principles:

Safeguarding American Interests.

Six months ago the Russian de-
mands on China as to Manchuria, and
the. conditions of her evacuation of
the province, naturally made a stir in
the councils Of most of the powers in
terested in Chinese trade. Germany
paid little attention to the manifesto
because she does not care whether
Russia absorbs Manchuria or not, for
If this is fully accomplished, Ger
many will simply help herself to more
Chinese territory adjoining the prov
tnce of Shantung, which she Is con-
verting into German colony.
Our government made very strong
protest, especially against the PROPOSE
tion that no more ports Or towns in
Manchuria would be opened and no
more foreign consuls would be ad-
mitted, and Russia was given to un-
derstand that the United States re-
garded China as the sovereign author
ity and treaty-making power so far as
Manchuria was concerned, and that
our negotiations for the new treaty
would be continued at Picking. Our
state department has proceeded quiet
1y against the open opposition of Rus
sfa, who tried to intinidate China into
abandoning the treaty negotiations,
and has concluded the treaty which
gives us Mukden and -Taku-Shan as
new treaty ports, open to our trade.
This concession to the needs Of our
commerce will be sedulously guarded
by our government. They have been
obtained from the real suzerain of
Manchuria. n
q Another feature of the Russian de-
nands on China against which our
government has protested is the re-
qlirement that the foreign employees
in China shall only be Russians. The
Russian employees exclusively in Man
cturia would, of course, be the Rus
sian troops. who would be classed as
employees. Evacuation was promised
on April s last, but there was no
movement of that kind, and altho the
evacuation pledge was shifted to take
place on the sth Of the present month,
that date has passed with no symp-
toms Of evacuation from either the
northern or southern portion Of Man
churia. IA Russia has made Russian

A LITERARY PHlLANTHRoPIsT

Several Of Mrs. Humphrey Wards nov.
els reveal her instructive tendency to prac-
tfcal socialigy, and she is something more
than a mere theorist in this direction,
something which cannot be said of many.
Of the most voluble reformers. NotWith-
standing the eXacting character of, e her
literary work, Mrs. Ward is one of the
most painstaking literary women in the
world. She manages to give a consider
able portion of her time to settlement"
work, for the betterment of conditions
among the people who have limited oppor-
tunities to get into an uplifting environ
age. She has introduced the vacation
school system in England and she takes a
personal interest in a children's evening
recreation school, during the winter,
where children are gathered from the per-
nicious influences of the street and are
won over to. rational and mind stimulat-
ing amusements and taught, as Mrs.
Ward says. that pleasure and play are
something else than noisy shrieking and
scuffling.''

Drop a Penny in the Slot, Press

A typical East Side ''speiler'' was the
first victim Of record. He produced the
copper coin, dropped it into the SLOT gave
the button a vigorous push and promptly
executed a mad Dance There was a
stout needle concealed in the center Of the
push button, and the pressure on this but
ton, besides sending the needle into the
finger, exposed a mirror in which the VIC
tim could see his contortions.
I When this gentleman discovered what
had been done to him, and the whole
awfulness of the imposture grew upon
him, his language expressed much stern,
picturesque and voluble Indignation. Co
ing out on the street, he secured a sledge
hammer, and returning to the museum,
he s1nit the device right on the nose SO
that the whole thing inside of seven sec
onds became a moss grown, ivy-clad ruin
Had it not been for the police he would
have cleaned out the place as well.

is given supreme authority over all
details Of the civil administration and
is commander-in-c chief Of the Russian
military and naval forces in the east,
and has his headquarters at the
strongly fortified Russian port Of Port
Arthur on the Liao-Tong peninsula.
Here is a Russian government Of the
widest powers organized and in opera
ton over Manchuria which is treated
just as any territory in Asia is treated,
after it is incorporated in the domin-
ions of the car.
The permanence Of Russian rule in
the far east will be decided if she and
Japan come to blows over the ques-
ton of supremacy. And, If, Russia
does not see fit to withdraw from the
Korean frontier, Japan will no doubt
take up the gage Of battle, for a Rus
sified Korea means a deadly blow to
the strong position Japan now holds
in the far east. -
Under any circumstances, however,
our government Is prepared to insist
upon our treaty rights. Russia is
aware now that she cannot crowd us
out Of these commercial advantages
obtained by treaty with China, If she
really entertained such purpose. 1t is
hardly for her own interest to do SO
as she has found our country the most
favorable market in which to purchase
railway material and other articles
with which she has, within a few
years, changed the face of the greater
