CAPITAL AND 1t is amusing to
TIE read the various
TRADE UNIONS phases of the
capital and labor
situation as promulgated by the
spokesmen of labor and capital through
the public press. Perhaps the most
notable fact deduceable from the many
utterances is that all that is said re-
veals the narrow standpoint OF sell
interest. Each writer or speaker
seemingly argues the industrial situa-
ton from his own point of view. car
ing not a rap about anybody else or
the interests of anybody else except
his own or those of the class he rep
resents
The criticisms of the speech recent
ly made by Mr.. Parry at the manufae-
turers' convention at New Orleans
show that the critics are afflicted with
the same disease that seems to have
fastened itself en- the vitals of the
man they are scoring. We should not
treat these questions Historically
nd
for that.We should approach them with
intelligent thought and always with
the Christian principle of love and toll
erance toward others Capital and
labor must be friends. They cannot
do business unless they are such
They are mutually interdependent and
unless they can go hand in hand. each
thinking of and caring for the inter-
ests of the other then must it follow
las tne night the day that the one
will withdraw and the other starVe
We should not decry trade unions be-
cause in some instances they are die
tatorial and oppressive. In the main,
trade unions are a good thing and in
the end will prove to be beneficial To
employing capital.
1t is difficult to understand why the
manufa cturers are opposed TO higher
levels Of wages when it is so well
known that the men who labor are
themselves the largest consumers of
the very goods they are making. III
other words. the increment in their
wage comes largely out of their own
pocket. AS to the labor unions the
sooner they are controlled by their
their ablest. most intelligent
and conservative leaders the
sooner will they arrive at just conclus-
ions and to happier relations with
I leir employers. SO long as the
unions are influenced by agitators
who do not have the
real welfare of the honest laborer at
heart. but are looking out for self
only or to get some kind of revenge
against the employers of labor for
some imaginary grievance Just SO
long will the better element of organiz-
ed labor cease to command that re-
spect from the employers of labor and
from the public generally which organ
lied labor must attain TO place capital
and labor on a harmonious working
basis.

why ex-Gov. Dan

The ONLY DAILY NEWSPAPER IN ALABAMA
Fire PrOte Ction in North Birmingham.

Every part of the district Is inter-
ested in the prosperity of every other
part, and the condition OF North Biz
mingham is fast becoming a serious
matter. 1t has no water supply, and
of course no ffre-ighting apparatus.
and yet it Contains some of the most
valuable Industries in this district, and
is, a thriving and prosperous COM
munity.
The destruction by fire of the sewer
pipe plant was a calamity to the entire
district, but 1t will be rebuilt If its man
ayers can see prospect Of the speedy
installation of water supply. All the
other industries of North Birmingham
ere in constant peril, and the subject
is one that calls for particular action
In North Birmingham and for particu-
lar attention elsewhere in this district.
North Birmingham Is considering the
subject, but while 1t considers some
other industry may be destroyed. 1t
is subject that does not need much
consideration, for there must be a
water supply or else there cannot be
many industries or much growth. AS
an economic proposition 1t needs no
consideration whatever. All towns
know they must have a water supply
in order to have protection against fire.
The source and nature Of the supply,
ana its cost are of course questions to
be considered, but Norm Birmingham
should not haggle too long over these
subsidiary questions. The sooner 1t
gets water in its streets the sooner it
will get factories and plants of all
sorts.
This question Is much more impor-
tant than the race question or the
Cleveland boom or the Indianola incl
dent, and The Age Herald hopes North
Birmingham will look it squarely and
promptly II the face, and that it will
affirmatively decide 1t.

them more the harder they work, and
when everything is lively as 1t Is now in

job or business either. guess the best
thing for me to do Is to hang on to the
salary after ALL"

Winter Wheat Crop.

There are a little over thirty-three
million acres of standing winter wheat
In this country today, and the present
expectation is a crop OF 520,000,000
bushels. If to this aggregate be added
100000, 900 bushels, as the average out
come of the spring wheat fields, we
have total of 720,000,000 bushels
4 his would be great crop, but 1t was
exceeded in 1901, when the entire
wheat product was 74S, ACC, 900 bushels,
having a value of $4e7 $50 900, or about
the equivalent of the cotton crop.
The winter wheat crop is now well
assured, and In the extreme sections
of the gulf states harvesting will soon
be begun, and day by day the harvest
ers will cut swath farther north until
The great surplus states In the latitude
of Kansas are reached. 1t Is safe to
say that no great disaster can now &C.
cur to the winter wheat crop, and that
the entire wheat crop can as safely
be estimated at seven hundred million
bushels.
The indications now are that this
great crop will bring satisfactory
prices, and If 1t be supplemented by
large cotton and corn crops it is idle
to say that .uef present degree of pros
perity in this country will not be main
tanned, whether Wall street with its
undigested securities be active or dull.
u I'll street reflects conditions-it does
not make them, and when it sees great
crops coming on 1t will inaugurate a
general bull campaign, and endeavor
to unload it's undigested securities.

That this judicial tyrant has attempted
an impossibility does not lessen the me-

In this very city of Omaha by the is
suance of an injunction forbidding any
business man to wink in the direction Of
a labor union.
The case that brought out the late ex-
traordinary ruling was one in which

The Graduate and the Bride.

From the Chicago Tribune.
The backwardness of the season does
not retard the appearance of those two
harbingers Of summer. the girl graduate
and the June bride. No frozen thaw-
ings" can prevent them from budding at
the prime" Yet the girl graduate has
encountered some chilling winds in edu-
cational circles. Her bouquets have been
wrested from her. the medals that she
was once proud to win have been called
ignoble prizes unworthy of her consider
alton, and her blue ribboned analysis of
"Egotism and Individualism" has been
subjected to ridicule. But the best part
Of her remains, her commencement
charms" her confidence in her own pow
ers and her belief in human goodness
And the June bride is equally confident
and hopeful. No dreary statistics going
to prove that divorce Is increasing, no
records of matrimonial failures, or writ
ten remonstrances against early mar
riages will shake her conviction that it
is her sacred task to show what true
marriage should be and to wave the con-
jugal flag before other anticipating eyes
1t is well for the world that the gradu-
ate and the bride should form a part of
the summers promise. for without their
sweetness and faith what would human
nature be?

CHALLENGE TO PENNYPAckER.

From the Philadelphia Press
1t is the Pennypacker libel law. salus
and Grady were mere puppets. Having
served their purpose they fell back into
their native obscurity. The governor Is
the front and center of the whole legal
and political drama. In its origin, in its
character, In its efficacy and in Its ex-
position 1t bears his preeminent and char
acteristlc impress. He has committed his
legal standing as a lawyer to its for
tunes and his executive power as gov
ernor to It's enforcement The governor
Is the executive of all law. In a special
degree he must be the executive of this
law. because 1t is peculiarly his law
Not only is 1t the spiders web which was
woven amid the dust of antiquarian sur
roundlngs. but he Is the one person who
has been caught in Its creation. The
whole force of public obloquy and con-
tempt has fallen on him. No man within
public memory has been such a hapless
target OF every barb of criticism and
every shaft OF ridicuie. II the law has
any virtue he is bound to enforce It. He
Is at once its author. its executive and
its victim. He must either invoke II on
his own behalf or confess that the law
is futile and that he Is impotent. There
is no escape from the alternatives.
Let Governor Pennypacker, therefore.
promptly institute suit or suits for libel.

HETTY GREEN IN NEWPORT.

From the Springfield Republican.
There is a rumor in the middle west that
Mrs Hetty Green is to storm Newport
this summer, and appear In an entirely
new role, that OF lavish leader of
society. This may be true, and It certainly
is possible in one way, for Mrs. Green
has the necessary bank book, and money Is
the cornerstone of Newport society. Mrs.
Green would be a great attraction at the
Rhode Island national side-show, as she
would furnish new sensation to the mill
lionaires. Mrs. Green is a moral woman,
of the old New England type. who be-
lieves in womanhood and manhood, and
as sensational contrast to the famous
Newport entertainer, Harry Lehr, the
man. who barks-like-a-dog" she should
satisfy even the people who had real
monkey at their dinner table. Mrs. Green
has not proved lavish In her social ex-
penditures. but she has brains. and that
is what the Newport set needs above
everything. 1t would be a good thing If
Mrs. Green spent a summer there, both
for Mrs. Green and for Newport.

Re union of Confederate Veterans.

Veterans and Sons of Veterans are
hurrying to New Orleans by train
loads, and the thirteenth annual re-
union promises to be the greatest of
the entire series. The first session of
the Veterans and of the affiliated or
CARNATIONS will be he'll today, and the
last Of the series on Saturday. On Fri
day the big parade will take place, and
1t is proposed to close on that day
every business place in New Orleans.
The people of New Orleans and Of
the rest of the south honor themselves
when they honor the graybeards that
remain from the grand struggle for
liberty and independence, and the day
should never come when they will be
forgotten. Through four long years
they fought and refought against over
whelming forces and resources that lib
erty might not perish from the land,
and few of us stop to think how much
we owe to them for the liberty we now
possess. They fought for their coun-
try. They fought for their rights as
they saw them, and all men were in
doubt at that time as to the constitu-
tional rights of the states. The old
and worn veterans of today stood up
bravely and manfully forty years ago
for their rights as they understood
them. This was patriotism In its no
blest form-patriotism in flower, and
as long as patriotism has a place in
southern hearts the men who wore the
gray will be honored and recalled
again and again.
Perhaps the most encouraging fea-
ture of these annual reunions Is the
growth of the organizations made up
of sons and daughters of the old war
riors. This means that the annual re-
unions will be long maintained, as they
should be. These organizations of the
new generation should be encouraged
and promoted to the utmost, and the
children in the schools should be
taught the lesson that the old and bent
veterans will teach the children of
New Orleans on Friday-the story of
self-sacrifice and valor and patriotism.
The memory of the men who fought
for their country will thus be pre-
served, and their children will be
nerved to higher endeavor and to no.
bier efforts. There is deep philoso-
ply in these annual reunions, and 1t
VIII be sad day when they lapse
through neglect.
