President Parry Again.

Tn his address before the Furniture AS
isociation Of the United States yesterday
President D. M. Parry Of the National AS
sociat1on Of Manufacturers again made one
of those characteristic arrangements OF the
methods and tendencies of organized labor
which, it would be useless to deny, are
applauded by hundreds and thousands OF
manufacturers. Mr.. Parry Is, OF course
an extremist, but is probably useful IN
his chosen work of throwing the lime light
ON the evil phases of unionism.
At the same time it was not necessary
for him, in attacking unionism, to de-
nounce every attempt that has been maze
in Australia and New Zealand to amelto-
rate the conditions Of the masses Those
little states and colonies are really expert
menting for the world They are a sort
of sociological laboratory for all mankind.
1t is by no means certain that all of their
experiments have been failures; and even
If they have been, it Is not a cause Tor
'exultation among those who hope Tor a
better time coming, and even President
Parry cannot believe that we have reached
the millennium.
Let us consider some Of those expert
ments at which Mr.. Parry snorts. Com
spulsory arbitration is an open question
now, but the time may come when the
world will regard it just as logical for cap
Fital and labor to settle their disputes in
the courts as for individuals to settle
theirs there. It Is not certain that it has
Sproyed failure in Australasia. There Is
Testimony on the other side that in New
zealand, at least, it has brought indus
trial peace Neither are old age pensions
such a terrible DOGGY tho they have hardly
been dreamed of in the United States yet.
1T is not far cry from poor assistance
and poorhouses to old age pensions. There
may be worse places in the world to live
lin than New Zealand with old age pen
ssions. The land tax has nothing terrify-
ing in it's aspect, and SO far as it has been
applied in New Zealand it has been satls-
factory 1t is easy to imagine conditions
under which government ownership OF
railways would be desirable. Possibly a
legal eight hour workday is not the worst
calamity that can overtake people.
| President Parry dwelt on the fact that
there was almost no immigration to New
Zealand, but he didn't tell how hard the
New zealanders are trying to keep imrni-
grafton away. He dwelt on the excess
lively large per capita debt borne by the
australians, but said nothing about the
fact that most Of it represents permanent
;investments in revenue producing rail
roads, and Is, therefore, no debt at all, II
a true sense. &
The proper attitude toward these soutl
sea experiments is that Of the open mind
What may be good for the New Zealand
4ers may be bad for u.s. IN view OF the Oil
;ferent conditions, but whether they sue
coed or fail the world will owe them
debt for having tried many things 1t wa

The Next Step.

: While brave Sheriff Whitlock of Danvilla
was placing a numbersof charges Of buck
shot where they would do the most good
in Saturdays lynching mob, he was also
making a mental note of "those present.
And now that the mob has been cowed and
beaten, the sheriff purposes to have them
arrested and tried for their disturbance of
public order. AS the mob did not succeed
in lynching the sheriff's prisoner, he can
not be a witness in murder charges
against it's members, the negro Metcalf
having been killed in a street row before
the mob turned it's attention to the Jail.
Whitlock is evidently a dangerous man as
prosecuting witness against the accused,
and with any sort of a decent jury some
prominent citizens of Danville and vicinity
are likely to have to do time.
Professor William James of Harvard
thinks THAI the lynching mania in the
United States with negroes as it's special
victims has now reached such a point that
unless the most severe repressive mea-
sures are taken, we are yet to- see its
worst crimes. He Professionally predicts
| Cambridge common and the Boston public
garden. In Professor James opinion,
nothing short of the hanging of a number
! of prominent citizens convicted of partici-
pating in this sport Of negro batting, for
that is what it has become, will check the
spread of the MANIA which is a reversion
to the primitive savagery latent In all
men, but usually confined by the pressure
of thousands of years of civilization.
| Professor James is right. Along with
the ruthless shooting down Of mobs in
acts Of disorder, there is now the need for
the hanging of some Of the leading citizens
that are reported to be the ringleaders Of
these mobs. Sheriff Whitlock Is setting a
splendid example. Most sheriffs would be
content to rest on their arms and laurels
after what he has done, but he intends to
| give the mob stomach full Of law and
order After shooting it into them, he
purposes to prosecute it into them.
| Prominent citizens have less taste for
hanging, perhaps, than the individual who
has no prominence. They viii not partici-
pate in any affair that is likely to lead
them to the gallows. They take a hand in
|,lynchings now because they know that no
jury Of their fellow toWnsmen will ever
convict them, and that the probabilities
are that no one will ever swear out a war
rant for their arrest. Then again, the
hanging Of prominent citizen is a much
3. more effective lesson than the similar pun
/ ishment of an obscure person.
