MUST USE RIGHT HAND.
Left-handed Writers Not Popular
with Business Men.

Few business men will employ "a
left-handed person as clerk or book
keeper and the prejudice against them
extends to the government depart
nents at Washington. The chiefs of
those departments are entirely will
ing to overlook bad penmanship on
the part OF really good and indus
ttious clerk. but it is the man or
woman who writes with the letthand
at which the balk is made. The dead
line is drawn just the moment ii is
ascertained that a clerk is left-handcd
ana he is forthwith informed thar If
it is his desire to continue in govern
ment service it will be necessary for
him to write with his right hand. This
Information is always bitter pin for
the lefthand penholders, but there is
nothing to be done but begin to write
with the right hand or throw up the
job" and few are anxious to quit gov
eminent service even for this cause.

THE CENSUS AND THE WORKERS

According to a census bulletin just
issued there were in the United States
III 1900. the census year. 29.073.233
persons engaged in gainful occupa-
tiOns. This represented half the pop
ulation ten years old and over OF
the workers 22,489.425 were men and
4,S33,63O were women. Among the

1,264,4l1 We're boys and 4S5,,G1 We're

OF married men "a per cent We're
employed, of single men G6 per cent.
Only 6 per cent of the married women
were wageworkers. These figures
carry, surely, an encouraging sugges-
tion concerning the homes Of ire
country.
Probably the rush cityward is in
dicated by the tact that increasing
numbers are found in manufacturing
trade, transportation and the profess
sions. while the agricultural class
shows a diminishing proportion. The
ack-to-the-land' movement has not
as yet gained sufficient strength to

SUNDAY, JULY 81, 1904.
EFFECT OF PUBLIC OPINION.

-
The fact that the leaders i'll the
packing house strike have issued Or
ders to abstain from violence and
maintain order shows what pubic
opinion has accomplished during the
past few years These orders have
not been obeyed in all Instances. no.
tably at ST. Paul and st. Joseph,
but nevertheless they have had re-
straining effect upon the strikers.
There is no fact more fully estab-
lished than that the American people
are thoroughly disguised with strike
disorders, turbulence and violence
and such disorders have doQe more in
recent years to disgust the public with
unions and unionsrn than anything,
else
The truth is, violence. conspiracy
and intimidation are as criminal and
as dangerous when practiced by a
body of 900 men as when practiced
by two or three men. If it is Grim,
inal for brace of thugs to smash
a lone pedestrian in dark street at
midnight, it is criminal for mob of
500 to smash so pedestrians on their
way to or from work. One thousand
men have no more right to keep a
than one man has.
Labor leaders and organized work
ingmen are learning that. however
Just some or all of their contentious
may be, public sympathy is forfeited
the moment violence is resorted tr OF
condoned. The instinct OF self-de-
fense is strong, and American COM
munities will not tolerate anarchy fo'
long, whether it be the anarchy OF
the political fanatic or foreign fool,
or the anarchy of the corporation
seeking to ride over the law and the
people. or the anarchy of the dissa1-
isfied workingman seeking to keep a
willing worker out of a job by violent
means.
The strike, at best. is a crude ard
costly mean of arriving al a settle
ment, and, like war. should be re
sorted to only after all other human
effort has failed TO bring about
righteous end. Strikes are costly to
the strikers, to the employers. end 10
the general public, and result in waste
of human energy just as fi,es do.
with no way to replace what is LOST,
and only a clumsy effort to distribute
the burden. ~
But the first lesson for employers
and employees, as we'll as the govern
ing authorities and the general pub
lie, to learn, was that the public peace
and the rights OF the individual must
be conserved The very life of the
labor un.urS was seen TO be involved
in this, and the leaders of the Va "iOus
organizations, with few exceptions
nowadays make every effort to prevent
violence by strikers. symDathi2erS, or
