warning the people Of the conditions
that now are worrying Wall street and

is having its troubles, it is gratifying
to witness that the. ravages of the So
called panic are confined to the spec
ulative centers and circles. The coun-

business enough to carry along easily

condition the people have their faith

LACK OF FRATERNAL
RELATIVES is BLAMED
ROCK River Methodists Name Chief
Reason for Capital and Labor Diff
ferences.

CHICAGO, Oct. 13.-Lack of frater-
nal relations between employer and
employe is the chief reason for the diff
ference between capital and labor, ac-
cordlng to a report presented to the
ROCK River conference of the Meth
odlst church at Aurora, ILL.,, today. by a
special committee appointed to report
on the industrial problem Members
OF the conference are called upon to
offer their disinterested services tn
poth sides in an industrial dispute for
the purpose of arbitration and settle
nent OF difficulties, and for such serv-
ices no fee or other reward is to be
accepted.
DR.. Charles Zimmerman, of Evans
ton, Ill, objected to the statement that
lack OF fraternal relations is the source
OF industrial trouble, and declared the
real trouble lay in the refusal of en-
PioyerS TO share their profits with the
men. A number of ministers support

Here's the HxpnotIc Elourish.

To the Editor of the Globe.
Under date of Oct. Is you published
an article by D. s. B. Johnston, Of
st. Paul, relating to early history
of Minnesota newspapers, in which
the Glencoe Register is given due
mention as having been established
in August, 1857, which is correct.
In addition, however, Mr. Johnston
states that of nineteen papers establish
ed between Jan. 1 and Aug. "a. 1857, only
one now survives, namely, the Mantor-
vile Express. This statement is wrong.
The Glencoe Register is still very much
alive and has been published regularly
every week since it was started, fires
floods, bad Indians and even the I'M
equivocal statement of Mr. Johnston to
the contrary notwithstanding. No, the
Register does not want to feel that it is
the ghost of paper" floating around
in the neither atmosphere like some dis
embodied wrath. 1t is really too sub
stantial a reality, especially when salary
day comes around and bills fall due to
be classed in the list of dead" ones. and
We ask you to kindly give us the inky,
hypnotic flourish that will bring us back
to life again and set us right with our
advertisers who are already waiting on
us with dark hints about getting money
under false pretenSe, etc. Just tell them
that you saw US and that we are still in
the ring as hale and hearty as we have
been at any time since we sprang into
existence as the fifty-ninth newspaper to
be established in the great state of Min

AN UNCONSCIOUS COMPETITOR.

The first duty of every church which
care of the poor. The Nazarene Him
self assured His followers that there
would always be unfortunates for the
worlds ministration and the assurance
has been interpreted as direct charge.
Fortunately few churches have failed
to consider the poor. In these modern
times, indeed, preachers and their con-
gregations have come to realize the
wisdom of first feeding the hungry
man before preaching the gospel to
him. Pastors have learned by expert
ence that a congregation made up en-
tirely of the wealthy or the well-to- do
is too apt to be lacking in spirituality.
And congregations feel that the alb
sence OF the poor means lack of spirit
ual opportunity.
Nevertheless, in spite Of the desire of
both pastor and people to assist by
every means in their power, those lack
ing in the worlds goods, the fact re-
mains that at times the church is the
unconscious competitor of the poor.
The address delivered by Mr.. T. A
Abbott before the annual meeting of
the Associated Charities brought to the
notice of that body a condition that
has frequently been seriously regarded
by thinking men and women. but which
| has never heretofore called from them
| a protest. He says that the various
church sales that are held, especially
the Christmas sales, deprive the seam
stress Of some part Of her market; for
nearly every church in the city holds
such a sale during the holidays and
every loyal churchwoman naturally
feels it her duty to make her pur-
| chases at the sale, since by so doing
she is contributing so much toward les
sening the mortgage on her church or
| toward erecting a new building.
The women who arrange those sales
cannot De considered culpable. They
see the need of the church and their
| thought is to supply it. Experience
has taught them that the rich man or
woman who would refuse a money
contribution can generally be persuad-
| ed to open his Or her pocket when
something is to be received In return
The curious part of it is, indeed, that
| the so-called value received" need NOT
represent value at ALL All that is de-
| manded is that the purchaser have
something to carry home to prove that
his money has not been given away
| But the women who arrange church
sales have conscience of their own
In the matter, and the articles they dis
play for sale are well made and supply
| a need that a department store or a
small dealer might otherwise be called
| upon to meet.
In the address which he delivered
before the Associated Charities, Mr.
| Abbott said: Churches should con-

the iaw-abiding whites of the Southern
states to insane and bloody acts. They
are rendering the Mosaic tribute of an
eye for an eye. They are paying back
to society the awful debt that they owe
to it.
1t is more true today than ever that
neither the Individual nor the COM
munity can do social wrong without
suffering its consequences. Every So
cial injustice, every act of social op-
preston recoils upon the heads of those
responsible for it. If there were no
race problem at the South, we should
certainly hear of just such crimes as
horrify the nation, as long as the chain
gang system remains; as long as, out
of the raw material of the convict,
society there was busily manufactured

PRAYED criminal 1t is needless to look

animosities or any other cause, ply

crimes that enrage and alarm the whole
country, while the system that creates
their perpetrators fourishes in full
force.
If reformatory Institutions could be
substituted tomorrow for the prison
pens of the South; if we could separate
our laws into two portions and ami
mate them both with strength and Wig
lance, one increasing the number Of
crimes for which the death penalty is
administered and thus wedding out the
worst stock from the race, the other
taking the lesser offender and devot-
ing years and money and effort in max
ing man of him; we should see with
in few years an enormous decrease in
the percentage of crimes of violence.
This is the lesson which the South in
particular and the whole country, in
some measure, has yet to learn.

Chamberlain and His Predecessors.

This man is unlike the great English
men who have figured as leaders in the
past fifty years. He lacks the superb
oratory of John Bright. He is an abso-
lutte stranger. to Mr.. Giadstone's Won
derful rhetorical gift. He could not if
he tried produce a single one of the
effects which made Beaconsfield so in
teresting character. He is not, as
Lord Salisbury was, "a master of gibes
and f1outs." But he has as much pluck
as any of them ever exhibited, and a
mode of speech which serves to secure
his attention whenever he faces an au-
dience. He is at once the best liked
and the best hated Englishman of his
day, and this never was true Of any
ordinary man. 1t is a badge Of dis
tinction, and Mr.. Chamberlain wears
it with a strong mans pride and relish.

A DOUBTFUL APPEAL.

Austen Chamberlain is the son of his
father That is the reason why he is
prominent member of the new British
cabinet. 1t will also account for his
youth, and may explain his bumptfous-.
ness. 1t was not expected that he,
would add great weight to the new gov
eminent, but if his associates are not
careful he will presently make it ridic-
ulous.
He has been making a speech to his;
constituents in support of his fathers
ideas and the present imperial policy.
He says that there is great danger in
assuming that Great Britain's fiscal
policy needs no revision. Expanding
this statement, he says that sit is
against all canons of sound finance that
the income tax, the nations first re-
serve in time Of war, should stand at
II pence in time of peace"
Now the man whom Mr.. Balfour and
Mr.. Chamberlain have to win over is
the workingman. He it is whose cost
of living will be increased if their
scheme Of taxing food products is to be
carried through. Disguise it as they
will, he is shrewd enough to see the
fact; and they can reconcile him to
it only by persuading him of an equal
or greater advantage in other direc-
tiOoS tbro11Ch q oopcaouant aynan SiOn
of the market for British products.
Fancy telling this man, instead, that
he ought to submit to heavier burdens
because the income tax is too high.
The income tax will never be too
high to suit the British workingman.
AS soon as he falls below the exemp-
ton line he will feel that everybody
above it should pay more and more,
in order that he may remain exempt.
That is human nature, and it also has
in it elements of political economy. We
may be very sure that when this young
man stands before a mixed audience
and proclaims the need of keeping
DOWN the income tax at the COST OF IN
creasing the taxes of poor people, the
son of his father is making much po-
litical trouble for the father of his son.
We hope no wiser authority from the
outside will interfere with the present
pastime Of the Dispatch, which con-
sists in printing numerous newspaper
extracts all of which prove that T h e.
G l o b e was correct when it accused
the Dispatch of falsehood. AS the evil
dence substantiating that fact is con-
tanned in an Associated Press report,
which is used by several hundred pa
pers in the country, there will be no
difficulty in continuing to pile up the
proof for year to come. But why the
anxiety to establish a reputation for
inveracity already fixed, and not de-
MED in any quarter yet heard from?
