ters 1t was not so bad. They had had a few
years at home before the factory or office

the matter of earnings that the younger

the typewriting school and thence to the Of

nothing of housekeeping or sewing. Moth

PEELED, by the very nature of his position,
to maintain. Reduced to plain English. his
of men, belonging to an organization. to
deny to all other men, whether belonging
to other organizations or to no organiza-
ton at all. the right to work. This theory
is so deeply imbedded in trades union con-
stitutions and trades union ideas that 1t
would De utterly impossible for Mr.. Mitch
ell or eny other labor organization leader
to combat it and still hold his leadership.
If he accepts organized labor he must &C
cept this creed.
But, as a man OF unquestioned breadth,
Mr.. Mitchell must know that this notion
is utterly repugnant to democracy and to
all the theories of human freedom and
human equality upon which our democratic
Republic is founded. The notion is essen
TALLY aristocratic. In order to obtain work
man must join union. In order to join
union he must make application and be
voted in. 1t is within the power of COM
paratively few men to shut him out of
the union and thus deprive him Of all OPP
portunity to work, which involves the very
right to live. This is not mere theory. In
those trades where a labor organization
has an unquestioned monopoly it is no
easy matter to obtain membership in the
union in control, and almost invariably
the way to such membership is controlled
by a very few men. 1t is so In the glass
blowing trade and it is SO in the printing
trade. For example, In Indianapolis. before
a man may become a pressman he must
obtain permit to work on cylinder press
from a committee Of three of the Press
mems Union. Three men have 1t within
their power to prevent a man from hav-
ing an opportunity in union shop, and
instances are known where they have de-
prived entirely competent men of such OPP
portunity, when the offer Of employment
was open, so far as employers could open
It. AS matter or fact there Is nothing
in trades union constitutions to prevent the
control Of the door to membership from
falling into the hands of the few; and.
again, as a matter OF fact, 1t almost in
variaby does fall into the hands Of the
few. whenever the union has enough of a
monopoly to make membership valuable.
This is aristocracy and nothing else. 1t
is exclusiveness in it's worst form, for 1t
would deprive the excluded ones of the
right to live and condemn their wives and
children to starvation. There are not few
trades that have submitted to it complete
ly, and in such trades there is no such
thing as free opportunity for the workman.
If he does not want to surrender his in
dividual right of controlling his own labor,
or, If he is persona non grata to a few
| men Of power in the local union, he must
get out of the trade or starve himself and
family. 1t will be a long, long time before
a majority of the American people can
subscribe to ony such proposition as this

At the Rhode Island State Sunday-school
Convention, held in Providence last week,
one speaker threw a bomb into the camp
by recommending an abandonment of the
present system of Sunday-school work and
the adoption Of modern educational meth
DDS. He condemned the use Of the stereo-
typed Sunday School lesson" and the les
son quarterlies a waste Of time. and said
that for himself he could remember moth
ing he had ever learned in Sunday school
You will never get good teaching into
the Sunday school," he asserted, until you
stop dealing with scraps. You ought to
put the whole Bible into the child's hands.
Throw your lesson quarterlies into the
waste basket. Use the money you will
save by buying Bibles for the members
of the school and keep the Bibles right
there for their use. We are killing the
Bible by too much commentary. Only a
few suggestive comments are needed In
the reading of the Bible" 1.-THE teach
ing of scraps is telling phrase
one that well describes the present
lesson methods. How can child know
much Of the Bible or the stories, even
after a long continued course Of such
scraps? To tell child Bible stories and
to let him read them, also to have him
memorize choice passages will give him
a better idea Of the sacred book than all
the detailed lesson study can do. He may
not understand the bearings of all the
stories nor appreciate the meaning and the
beauty Of the gems he memories, but
they will remain with him and their mean
ing will come later. There is good deal
of room for reform in the Sunday school.

ter addressed presumably to Mr.. Bryan,
but which has not been produced. 1t is
thought the letter gives explicit directions
regarding the use to be made of the 10000
and the court declines to allow the will to
be probated on the ground that the letter
may be a oodicil. In addition to the $4,000
dependent on the mysterious letter, Mr..
Bryan was left $4,000 to be distributed by
him for educational purposes and was named
as an executor of the will. For a mere
political acquaintance he seems to have had
a strong influence over the testator.

At the Eastern missionary convention OF
the Methodist Episcopal Church, held in
Philadelphia last week, a speaker who
addressed the body on the subject Of home
missions expressed the opinion that In
Christian missionary work at home lies the
solution of the race problem. 1.-THE black
man has claims upon us to which we can
not be Indifferent" he said. "Ie consti-
tutes more than one-tenth of our popula-
ton, and he is not dying out like the red
man, nor committing race suicide like the
white man, but is increasing and multi
plying" He believed that the gospel was
not only the surest. but the cheapest, way
in the end of solving the race problem,
"for where men can say as Christians,
We are brethren. no police power" he
added, will be necessary to constrain
them to dwell in peace and unity" OF
all the solutions offered and theories ad-
vanced for the settlement of this problem
this is the most practical and the most in
keeping with our religion, our traditions
and our civilization. 1t is plan, too, that
may be put into operation at once and in
all places where race problem exists
1t may be participated in by individuals
as well as by organizations, and needs no
elaborate machinery for its carrying out.
