THE .AGITAT0H.

T." How strangely silent is history about
the word agitator. It seems that those
who write the records of the past can
find no place to apply it.
This is most remarkable as the word
has been in the English language since
the language has been spoken. Every
generation has used it, and it will prob
ably 60 down through lines of the
future generations; but as it passes
from one period to another it seems to
completely efface itself from the rec
ords.
Is it, for some indefinable reason, a
word to be spoken only, not written
This can hardly be SO, as the press of
each generation has printed the word
as much, if not more, than any other
! word in the English language.
1t has been synonym of all that is
low and vicious, a term to express
a generations contempt for the indi-
vidual who has the temerity to think
! and speak differently from the ordin-
airy. Men have been burned at the
stake, others buried alive in some foul
dungeon, and still others exiled with
the ban Of disgrace upon them, for no
other reason than that they were Gag
itators'. This has been so in all gen.
erations.
The record of the "inquisition'' is fill
ed with this word, likewise the court
records; then why do we fail to find
1t in the pages Of history? Because
history finds a new word to apply to
these men, the word "benefactors."
OF course, our present generation has
no "benefactors." The are "agitators. -
We have had many Of these men in
the present and preceding genera
lions. and probably the most notorius
| among those of the preceding was
Wendell Phillips. He was reviled, stand
cred. ostricised and martyred in all the
cruel ways that fellow human beings
knew how to- use against their broth
ers, and yet through it all he was ever
lighting for the poor and the lowly,
without "a thought for himself, caring
nothing for, worldly opinions; he did
! what he conceived to be the noble and
manly thing to do always. This was
| an "agltator' in his own age, Future
generations will give him a niche in
! the hall Of fame. Already this genera
ton, the first after his own, would not
dare sayTthat Wendell Phillips was q
vile aEitator::" The people that he
sacrificed himself to benefit could call
him this, but not the general ton whom
ne benefited. Watch the newspapers
and magazines closely and you will
catch a. glimpse Of the worlds future

WHAT OUR ,OPPON.
ENTS TEACH US.


An editorial in the May number Of
of D. M. Parry and his labor-oppress-
ing Manufacturers Association, which
has recently been declaring war to
the DEATH against all labor unions,
bears the surprising, caption, Organ
ization Necessary: Everythwhere." Of
course, however, it means organization
for everybody but the workingman.
The frankness and candor with which
Parrys reasons for advocating organ
ization are announced are really re-
freshing.. we are preaching .organiza-
ton for the. political and social pur-
poses as we'll as for business purposes,
and not for patriotism" Certainly not
for patriotism, because their political
purpose is to control the government
against the interests of the toiling
masses, which Of itself is treason, and
where treason, strategm and spoils'
predominant the minds of men and
incite their course of conduct, patriot
ism can have no part in their media
ton.
Having thus confessed the purposes
of their crowd, the editorial dilates up
on the value of organization as follows.
Find church that does not go, and
1t is not organized. Find a Sunday
school, social settlement, a char
liable institution, an educational in
stitution, which is not organized, and
you will find that it does not go and
will not go. Look into the most super
ficial details of successful business,
fh1
corner, or an emporium of trade with
twenty different departments, or a.
great corporation doing business better
and better all the time and making
more and more money all the time and
giving the consumer at least a part of
the benefit all the time, or a great
railroad, and you will find that the
reason why they succeed is that they
are organized: square men in square
places; resource where fertility is re-
CURED, daring where courage is requir-
ed Information where knowledge is
necessary; experiences and scientific
accuracy where it would be fatal to
make mistakes; conference in the plan:
method in the purpose and in the spirit
where the one idea which dominates
~>~~
sity Of the day, the week, the month
and the year. All these things ought
to be admitted; all of it is before us
every moment"
But no suggestion is made that the
| labor1ng classes should organize, I'M
less, indeed, they apply the logic that
what is good for the master is good
for the man." And it certainly does
| seem reasonable to presume that if or
ganization is so important and so valu-
able to all other classes of people 1t
| must also be important and valuable
| to-. the class who live by the sale of
their labor, whether that labor be man
ual or mental. Nor need we merely
assume, for have we not seen prac-
teal demonstration of the benefits OF
organization among the followers of

A cloth suit wasfworn by Miss May
Schwartz, who was voted Queen OF
Beauty st the Mardi Gras carnival at
New Orleans year ago. Her hat was
fine white straw. with low crown.

with pale blue chiffon automobile
veil. This was caught round to the
back and crossed and tied again In a
bow in the front. The frock had an
Eton jacket reaching to the waist,
with each seam strapped with bias
folds of the cloth. The sleeves were
hell shaped, also strapped and flaring
at the elbow, where they were cut of
and showed the dainty full white shirt
waist sleeve worn beneath. The skirt
was tight-ftting. strapped one, cut
walking length, and Miss Schwartz
wore white stockings and shoes and

Mark Twain received letter from
New Zealand the other day, in which
small correspondent. in the midst
of the enthusiasm of the days of Tom
Sawyer and Huck Finn, asked him
plaintively II his name really was
Clemens. 1t probably was not, as
Clemens was the man who sold pat
ent medicines in Wellington, and. be-
sides, the writer was fond of the
name Mark-was there not Mark
Anthony in the Bible?
The humorist was immensely
pleased with tho whole thing, and
sent out an answer that may yet be-
come an heirloom in the New Zea-
land family. And one Of the things
he said was: "As Mark Antony has
got into the Bible. am not without
hopes myself"

Handsome Waists Of White Lace.

Very handsome autumn waists are
made of liberty satin and these waists
are not necessarily expensive. They
may be In a deep shade of oyster
white. trimmed with pale white lace.
and finished with applications OF lace
of deep shade Of ecru.
1t is very fashionable to make lace
waists of half dozen shades OF white
lace and to use the lace as one would
use hounces Of silk. with one fiounce
falling over the other.
Lace. In a shade Of lemon white. is
appliqued with medallions OF lace in
biue-white. while the whole Is en-
Droidered In stitches that are In a
snade OF pearl. This gives several
shades OF white and makes the waist
much smarter than II it were ala of a
single tone.
1t Is very smart, indeed. to fasten
your white girdle with small black vel
vet buttons. Set double row of these
buttons at the side and hook your
girdle invisibly underneath. A white
satin stock Is secured in the same
manner. by invisible fastenfngs, with
doule rows of black velvet buttons at
each side of the stock.
