President Eliot on Organization.

That was very helpful address on
labor and capital that President Eliot
Of Harvard delivered Sunday after
noon last in Faneuil hall, before the
representatives of the organized labor
Of Boston. 1t was philosophical adj
dress which got far beneath the con-
fusing superficial appearance of the
Industrial struggle and laid bare the
principles on which the struggle must
some day be determined. If the prob
lem is to be settled in no other way
the government must deal with it ac-
cording to the essentials of democracy,
but President Eliot rightly thinks it
would be much better to settle it by
means Of the great forces of publicity,
discussion and fellow feeling. The
notifications of existing conditions
which might be brought about volun-
tarily, he gave as follows:
First-Steadiness Of employment.
Second-A permanent abode for the
1aborer.
Third-A share for labor in the
culinary side.
Fourth-Full information to perna-
nent employees Of the annual results Of
the business, with a view to determin-
ing Justly labor's share of the profits.
Increasing wages with increasing
years Of service and the~pension or re-
firing allowance at disability.
If peace is not brought about in
some such way it will have to be
brought about by governmental inter-
ference. But even with peace be-
tween employer and employe thus es-
tablished, the public is still threatened
by the association Of employers on the
one hand and Of unions of the en-
ployees on the other, because their
tendency is to join forces, as has been
eXemplified in Chicago, New York and
San Francisco, to eXtort higher wages
and higher profits from the public.
These organizations have the bad eff
feet Of tending to make the organiza
ton of society rigid and along unyield-
ing class lines. This tendency is in
conflict with, democracy which ulti-
mately means that every individual
shall have an opportunity to make the
mOSL OIL himself. fTGSlQeHC EllOC
thinks that the spirit Of democracy
will find way to burst the letters that
are now being forged for it. The
democratic tendency destroyed feudal-
ism and the ancient guilds, and will
destroy in good time the present Or
CARNATIONS that are really endeavor-
ing to destroy it. President Eliot was
especially happy when he pointed out
that the labor-capital controversy is a
war, and that the armies, as in all
| other wars, are fighting machines to
which the Individual and his welfare
are sacrificed. ...
The time is coming when, just as
the feudal barons fell before the rise
of the state, the welfare of the public
| and Of the Individual will assert itself
and in some way enforce settlement
Of industrial controversies Of the pres
ent.

while it's nearest competitor car
ried 1872 columns, or nearly SO
per cent less.
By eliminating Objectionable

Foraker's Break.

1t is not easy to fathOm Senator For
aker's purpose in Introducing his bill
amending the antitrust and interstate
commerce laws. He must have known
that it had no more chance of passage
than a SNOWFALL has of preserving it's
identity in a blast furnace. He must
have known also that such bill would
injure his own standing in congress
and at home, and that it would to
some extent injure the republican
party In the approaching campaign
we shall doubtless hear much from
the democrats about the pro-trust
measure proposed by that republican
leader, Senator Foraker"
The Washington correspondent of
the Philadelphia North American de-
clares that simultaneously with the
introduction of his curious bill Senator
Foraker became a political anomaly in
Washington. Republican leaders i'm
mediately began to class him as a
man who would bear Watching "A
striking figure in the politics of the
country for a decade" says the CORE
spondent, Foraker without dissent
ing from any single party policy or
ev1ncing openly the slightest antago-
nism to those in control of party desti-
MES, suddenly has found himself al
most political outcast, his intentions
and purpose under suspicion and his
party fealty questioned in the most Sc
rious manner
Various reasons are advanced for
Forakers "break." One is that he in
troduced the bill while thinking only
of his own private interests as attor-
ney for some powerful corporate COM
binations. Another is that he did it
with the deliberate purpose of embar-
RAISING the president, as whose cham
pion against Senator Hanna he ap-
peared in the Ohio convention last
year. The explanation is that Senator
Foraker has persistently endeavored
and with some success, to create diff
ferences between the president and
Senator Hanna, by which he hoped
personally to profit But the president
has perceived the essential selfishness
of Forakers protested loyalty and has
at all times consulted and advised with
Senator Hanna as to Ohio and other
affairs.
Overreaching' selfishness and lack of
the quality of tolerance are declared
to be the great defects in Foraker's
composition, defects that will keen
him from reaching that pinnacle OF
greatness that his friends one time
counted on. 1t will be remembered
that there was a time when he was
considered a likely republican candi-
date for the presidency.
We may say that a certain element
of selfshness is the dominating ele.
ment in all politicians except at those
rare moments when public welfare be.
comes first. This is creditable enough
too, for in democratic society we ex.
pect every man to make the most OF
himself. But with Senator Foraker
there has been room for thought OF
none except Foraker and his interests

pedestal of a capital I, it is said; con.

TWO LINCOLN STORIES

Senator Cullom in the Philadelphia Press.
While Mr.. Lincoln was a man of great
evenness of temper and kindness Of dis
position, he was at the same time mas
terful man. He permitted no man to med
die with his official responsibilities This
is illustrated in the following story: Soon
after the outbreak Of the war, it is said
that Secretary Seward advised the presi-
dent to confine his energies solely to mill
tary and internal affairs, and to leave
him. Seward, AS prime minister, to deal
with our foreign affairs. Mr. Seward nro-
posed to submit his views on the subject
in writing. The president assented. The
story goes that one day Seward called on
the president with a voluminous paper
which he had prepared, folded and in
dorsed. The president took it. In front
Of Of, him on his l table, was a row Of trays
Secretary Of Treasury" Secretary Of
War;" and so on, and the last tray was
marked "Unimportant.' CHANGING along
down the list to the last. the president
pumped into it Mr.. Stewards suggestions
in writing, saying that if the things sug-
gested by Mr.. Seward must be done, he,
the president, must do them In that
modest way, he gave Mr.. Seward to UNI
derstand that the president was not dele
eating the responsibilities of his admin
istration to anyone else. Two months aft
erward Secretary Seward had become bet
ter acquainted with Mr.. Lincoln, and in
a letter to his wife, he said: "The presi-

Many Of the stories told of Mr. Lincoln
are Of doubtful authenticity, but here is
one for which am able to vouch. It was
told me by the gentleman who had a part
in the episode, and he is still living In
Washington. This gentleman called at the
White House one day in 1862. and found
Mr.. Lincoln sitting limp and carelessly in
his chair, with his face resting on one
hand as if he were i'll or in distress.

the question: "How long will it be be-
fore we have women jurors?" The
modern juror, it goes on. to say, IS
not person of giant intellect or legal
learning, nor is ne accustomed to
graphing with weighty judicial mat
tiers. All that is required is a modi-
cum of intelligence and common
sense, and how often is this modest
demand not realized! There is no ap-
parent reason, it goes on to say, why
women could not render as intelli-
gent a verdict as men, especially in
cases concerning their own sex, and 1t
quotes an English judge as admitting
that it would be much more satisfac-
tory to- litigants and save a deal OF
valuable time if juries of women were
employed in such cases as disputes
involving dressmakers claims, and
actions brought by maids against their
mistresses. If women are capable OF
making successful lawyers, there
seems to be no reason why they can
not make effective jurors.
