or MONEY
ROOT OF ALL EVIL
1T Is NOT THE LOVE OF MONEY.
Lordins it Over Others, Says Rev. II. S,
BgeIow, is the Fountain Head
He Suggests Cure.

Cincinnati has one minister, at least,
Su @euM 4oe91d o. p!e1Je 4ou S! oqn
considers is the truth. In recent ser
mon in the Vine Street Church. he said:
In his closing speech before the Coal
Commission, Clarence barrow, counsel
for the miners declared that the issue
of the strike had been: "Who should
be the masters, the operators or the
men?' In regard to this issue Mr.
Darrow said: II say neither should be
the master Of the other
Thus in discussing the root of the
labor problem, Mr.. barrow put his
finger upon the same sore which Jesus
probed with the words: 1.-THE Kings
of the Gentiles exercise lordship over
them, and they that exercise authority
upon them are called benefactors. But
We. shall not be so.'
Love Of money is not the root Of all
evil Love i Of IL ording it over others,
that is the. taprQOt. Jesus cut: to: the
quick with his. words in condemnation
Of those who exercise lordship while
they parade as benefactors.. But We
shall not be so,' said Jesus. II say
neither should be master Of the other -
said Darrow. Thus the social reformer,
perhaps unconsciously, falls back on
the ethical teachings of Jesus Indeed,
the present day movement for juster
social conditions is the best proof we
have that our generation still has faith
in the teachings Of the Nazarene.
The impression has been that between
the operators and the miners Their has
not been fair distribution. The strike
was instituted for the purpose of MAX
ing the owners Of the mines except less
in order that the workers in the mines
might have more. Now it is evident
that even if the workers in the mines
do get more the mine owners will not
have to accept less. The owners have
the power to add the increase of wages
| to the price of coal. Thus the mine
| worker is to profit, not at the expense
of the operators, but at the expense
of the public.
This is because the owners Of the
mines and Of the railroads exercise au-
thority, not only over a few thousand
men who dig the coal, but also over
the millions who buy it.
| This strike has been of great educa
tiona1 value. 1t has made it clearer
to our people that a set Of men own
the mines and the railroads, they COM
mand the nations fues, and are, tt
that extent, our masters. Therefore
the conviction is more deeply rooted
THAN ever that the railroads being com.
NOR. carriers, must be treated as pub
lie property. Moreover, If we leave
the mines in private hands it will be
necessary to make the mine owner pay
a land value tax great enough so thai
it shall be Improbable for him to owr
mines without using them.
| Nothing short of this will deliver us
from the yoke of the monopolists.

WILKEsBARRE, Pa, April 15.-For
years past the miners employed by the
Pennsylvania Coal company IN and,

omous. It is perfectly autonomous now.
Nothing whatever can be done in the
anthracite field except: by vote Of a
convention composed exclusively of
anthracite miners. in which no bitumin-
Gus miners or any outsiders have any
voice whatever. I am well aware there
exists in the minds of a few persons
the notion that the strike was largely
caused by soft-coal influences. will
answer that in the simplest possible
way-there is no truth in 1t.
THE anthracite strike and the sue
cess Of the efforts of our organization
to secure better conditions for the
men in that field, have given an i'm
petus to trades unionism in the United
States beyond calculation. More men
have Joined unions in all fields during
the last year than in any ten years
heretofore. This awakening is due di-
rectly to the success of the anthracite
strike. In some fields where lethargy
had supervened, new hope and energy
have been kindled. The movement is
strong one, and no power on earth can
stope it. AS trades unionism wakes
more powerful, I believe it should and
will become more conservative. It
should feel it's great responsibility,
should be moderate, and avoid all need
less or wanton stirring up Of trouble.
Il am aware that many men who are
friendly to organized labor as a matter
of principle, still fear that trades
unionism may become tyrannical and
oppressive. But they should not judge
by isolated instances or. petty annoy
ances. Trades unionisn has done great
work in taking children out of factor
les, in raising the age limit, in securing
compulsory education and other re-
forms. 1t has done more than any
other agency to: lift up the standard
of labor and Of comfort.
1.-THE fear that the rise. of trades
unionism will become menace to So
ciety, to government or to- social order,
is utterly fallacious. Unions are part
of the people of the United States-the
patriotic, Industrious people. As a
labor man, say that the stronger they
grow the more Conservative they be-
come. This tendency, hope and be-
lieve, will continue indefinitely. The
best friends Of organized labor are
those who belieye,,:an who teach that
it can, thrive only by being right, by
being moderate and Just, q md by feel

MANY PROPERTY OWNERS
AFTER WATER METERS
New Arrangement Has Been
Made to Facilitate Work of
Department Employees

Many property owners are having
water meters installed in their homes
and business places. At each meeting
Of the Water ComIlission fifty or more
applications are received and the me-
tiers placed in position as soon as pos
sIble.
Owing to the large number Of appn-
cations the department employees are
kept unusually busy and two months
sometimes elapse between the time an
application is received and the meter
installed. To facilitate the work the
Water Commission has decided that all
meters applied for this month and
placed, the water rent thereof viii be-
gin January 1. All meters applied for
during January will be placed in posi-
tion if possible prior to July /, the
water renter paying six months in ad-
vance in the new meter class. From
July 1 the renter will then pay in the
meter class.
All minimum renters can pay their
annual water tax semi-yeariy, in Jam
uary and July. or at the option OF the
renter can pay the entire years rental
in January.

is being searched for.
AIRS. Lank had but 50. in her pocket

papers and other things in the purse
