August 2, 1904, marks an important
event in the history of the Pythian or
ganizatiOn of Virginia OF which Mr..
John Mitchell, Jr., is the official head.
This beautiful castle was purchased
and fitted up in modern style, with
every convenience, heated by a fine
boiler and 23 radiators, lighted by gas
and electricity, contains a handsome
pfrlor, dining hall, kitchen, besides
lodge rooms duly equipped and opened
to it's members July 4, 1903, at a cost
of about $4,000
Every dollar Of that amount was
raised within twelve months, and the
last note paid to the Mechanics Saw
ings Bank five months ahead of time
causing great jubilee among the men,
bsrs OF the order.
The hall was literally packed with
an enthusiastic, appreciative audience
and the following program was mag

financial condition OF the business de-

those on her ten dollar list, who had

John Mitchell, Jr., President Of the
P. c. 1. A, in his magnetic manner
entertained them with facts, relating
to Department A, and the Mechanics
Savings Bank. and inspired ell to
rally to his next appeal.
The figures showed that in two years
time this order has paid for $4,000
worth OF property with only an unpaid
debt OF $1,000 on the old hall Total
receipts were SIC, 1926; expenses, $15,-
OS6.Se; balance in hand, $1,266.66,
while nearly $4,000 have been paid by
the Lodges and Courts on stock
The Bank has a cash balance Of over
$4,000, owns about $4,000 worth of
real estate and has handled over SAIL
900 in two years. The rents from the
property pay all the Bank expenses.
This superb management or f1nan-

ton from this optimistic standpoint =
In the first place, we see such leaders
as Samuel Gompers and John Mitchell
as heads of the labor movement, Just,
conservative, broad, liberal, sane men.
The labor unions maintain them as
leaders and support them as leaders.
Therefore, in order to do that, there
must he justice, conservatism, breadth,
liberality, and sanity in the labor
Unions.
Again, we see that labor unions
which are composed of men working
in occupations that demand mental
acumen and training, are having less
and less trouble with their employers,
and growing yearly into much more
grace themselves, into a better under
standing of the economic situation
and a stronger grasp Of the ways and
means of advancing by evolution in
stead of by revolution. The work of
the typographical unions and of the
union of stationary engineers are ex-
amples of this higher brand OF or
ganized labor.
We grant the faults Of the labor
unions, but in considering their faults
it should be remembered that labor
unions are composed of all sorts and
conditions of men, and that they are
also engaged in exploring virgin ter
ritory. They make mistakes, yes; but
there are no men who do not make
mistakes in the administration Of their
affairs. The vital point is, are the
labor unions learning anything from
their mistakes2 We think that they
are. If this be true, is there then no
hope for thcm9

Blu No Means Hopeless.
Something on the Good Side of the
Labor Union Question.

President Eliot, Of Harvard Uni
yersity, is not accustomed to speaking
without thought, and however sensa-
tlonal his utteranees may be there is
usually a good reason for them. Con-
sequently, we are not surprised TO
learn that he denies the following
statement attributed TO him:
capital and labor are growing
further away from one another day
by day, and I can foresee no settle
ment, except by the shedding of
blood"
President Eliot says that on the
contrary he believes that the prevail
ing industrial strife can be and ought
to be settled by publicity and free
discussion.
If we were called upon to Judge of
the value Of Harvard University, We
should be considered as dealing most
unfairly if we should summarize the
Instances where Harvard has failed tc

under her influence, and then declare
that Harvard as an institution was s

Basis of Calculation.
The Democratic calculator declares
that ne expects his estimate upon uh-
nois will be laughed at. but that does
not discomfort him in the least. for has
he not the figures? He estimates upon
the basis of Congressional elections of
1902 In which national issues are more
involved than in any purely local con-
test. Illinois in 1902, on the basis of
Congressional elections. was Republi-
can not b. majority of $4,000. as In
1896. or by $4,000. as in 1900. but by less

calculator Is aware Of the fact that his
there were three Overwhelmingly Demo-
cratic districts in Chicago In which the
Republicans made no nominations This,
he declares, would be Offset. to some
extent by the fact that although the
Democrats made nominations in all dis
tricts there were four or five in which
they did not wage much OF a contest
we'll knowing their case was hopeless,
This fact. he thinks. accounts for the

This calculation has It that a change

as especially valuable in respect to this
figuring is that II eliminates Mr.. Bryan

Amid the grass and fern:

Where weary men might turn;

A ladle at the brink;
He thought not OF the deed he did,
But judged that all might drink

BY summer never dried.
Had cooled ten thousand parchin

And saved a life beside.

Unstudied from the heart;
A whisper on the tumult thrown,
A transitory breath

II saved a soul from death.

This Is the expression upon which the
fame of John II. Wallace. jr, a promi-

rests.
In a vocabulary which arnazes every

he wants TO praise any Of his particu-

Nobody has been able to find out ex-
actly what II means. but ii sounds so
good that Mr. Wallace got TO the Ala

ly in the politics Of that State.
Recently he broke into fiction. His
first attempt was a short love story

hates. The young American interrupts
