ODD OLD LAW THAT *~
MIGHT BE A NUISANCE

From the New York Globe:
"FIow many people," said a lawyer
from up the state, "know that there Is
q statute on the books Of New York
state that requires every vehicle pro-
PEELED by steam which traverses any
highway in the state to send ahead
Of it. at a distance Of quarter of
mile, a man on horseback waving
red flag?
"The law was passed when steam
threshing machines that moved from
farm to farm under their own power
I'll st came into use. They scared the
farmers horses. and as the farmer
vas all powerful at Albany the law
speak of was passed for his benefit.
"A local application Of the law may
be seen at any time along the North
river front, anywhere north Of the
New York Central freight station at
st. Johns park. Ahead Of every
freight train that runs down Eleventh
avenue is a man on horseback waving
a red flag.
"But II anyone wanted to enforce
this old law against steam automobiles
" ouldn't it make a lot Of trouble? ?"

+ UNIONIDN UNSHIFISH.
The union men and women in organ
lied labor's big army today are nshting
the battle Of rights for all working men
and women-the >non-union toilers who
have eyes and yet will not see the noe
essity for organization. the trouble
makers and revolutionists in their own
ranks who are ever busy with schemes
to hamper or to break up unionism and
even the strike breakers who profess
not to believe in trades unions because
they are incapable Of looking further
ahead than the selfish clutch at the
dollar they may earn by taking some
union mans job.
Did you ever think Of this, MIR. Nom
Unionist? II You don't believe It's true,
wait until organised labor has won its
fight with employers and has forced the
acceptance of universal eight-hour
day and an equitable scale of ages in
every trade and craft. Then you will
see tho strike breakers, the trouble
makers and the conscientious non-un-
ionists who scorn organization, make
a wild scramble to get into the. union
labor band-wagon.
The battle Of unionism il the battle
Of all the toilers and has always been
so. But the forces Of organized labor,
In their grapple with the forces of CAPT.
tai that are pitted against them, can
only gain one victory. one shop, one re-
doubt at time. consequently. the full
measure Of the benefits of organization
have only been felt by those In the
ranks of unionism. Yet the unorganized
workers in nearly every trade and craft
in the country are already enjoying un-
told benefits that they never would have
enjoyed had 1t not been for unionism
To stave of the inevitable organization
Of their factories, employers in every
section OF the country have for years
been granting their men better wages
and better conditions.
See" exclaim the non-unionists who
have thus been benefited, show we are
working shorter hours today than we
were ten years ago and are earning
| more money. We didn't gain these con-
| cessions by sending a walking delegate
to our boss to ask them either. A fig
| for your unionlsm with its big dues, its
strikes and its grating leaders,!
That's the way it always is with the
workers who are unable to perceive the
need OF organization for the toilers to
combat the organizations of capital; yet
they are always able to see the ghost of
an argument to Justify themselves in
their false and selfish position of antag-
onism to their brothers and sisters in
the labor movement. They are but
children OF q larger growth, or they
would know. as every thinking work.
ingman does know, that these new
rights and privileges that have been
granted voluntarily are crumbs through
which their employers seek to propit-
late them with half a loaf instead of
the full loaf that organized labor de-
mands.
The workers who fail to acknowledge
the claims Of organization are the dead
heads Of the labor movement, for they
are content to enjoy the better wages
and better conditions that union labor
has won for them without paying the
price Of organization.-shoe Workers

GOOD-NATURED IRISH
.. MAN AND SAVAGE.

There is a Judge in New York City
whose wife's father Is fanatical
churchman. In the course of an an
imated discussion of the father-tn-
laws views, the Judge said to his wife:
molly, I'll tell you what your father
is. AS a man. he is a good-natured
Irishman, but as theologian, he Is
| savage"
Why is 1t that so many good people
hold atrocious opinions? The reason
is that the goodness is their own, but
their opinions are imposed upon them
by others.
A man travelling In Rome was sur
| prised to find an old school-mate in
! the garb of a priest exhibiting holy
trinkets and telling incredible tales
about them. Taking the priest aside,
he told him who he was and they talk
ed over old times. Then the man asked
the priest: How can you believe
these things about these trinkets?"
The priest answered.: my church tells
me to-"
A good Catholic, as we'll as a good
Protestant, will regret that the in
! fluence of both churches has been used
| or rather misused in behalf of doc
trine which is the very essence Of
! mental slavery. Men have been taught
! that faith is matter of the will and
! that it is mans duty to believe what
| he Is told to believe Just as man
can say to his knee, Bend; just as
! he can say to his head, "Bow"; so he
| can say to his mind, Believe That
| is the doctrine. Therefore men have
been reproached for their unbelief.
! But it is not question as to what
a man ought to believe. or what he
would like to believe, or what he is
expected to believe. It Is a question
as to what he can believe. 1t Is bias
phemous for a man to club to death
| the independent thoughts that arise
within him and try to make himself
believe what is repugnant to his soul.
The Starting Point Of Education.
William Lloyd Garrison said: 1.-THE
one distinction and emphatic lesson
which I shall teach by children is, to
take nothing upon mere authority-to
dare to differ in opinion from their
! father and from all the world-to un-
derstand, as clearly as possible, what
can be said against or in favor Of any
doctrine or practice, and then to accept
or reject it according to their own
convictions Of duty
Nothing that keeps thought out is
safe from thought.
For there's no virgin-fort but SELF
respect.
And truth defensive hath lost hold
on God.
Ask the priest why he teaches the
ancient error. He says. my church
tells me to-. Ask the soldier why he
hews and hacks his brother, he says,
my general commands me to-. Men
are forever thinking what priest and
politician say, what is written in the
creeds and constitutions as though that
were more important to them than
what is written in their hearts and
what their own good sense tells them
to be fair and right. They justify their
conduct by external rules and silence
j reason by appeals to authority
Progress 1ags because there are so
many who dare not trust themselves,
but submit to the tyranny of other
peoples thoughts. This undue defer
ence to authority is the quagmire in
which the world sticks.

DAVID BEI.ASCO
LOSES HIS SUIT

NEW YORK, Dec. 19.-Justice Fitz-
gerald, Of the state supreme court, to-
day handed down a decision adverse to
David Belasco in the latter's suit
against the theatrical firm Of Klaw &
Erlanger. The case was tried last
April and attracted much attention by
reason Of the we'll known actors and
actresses who appeared as witnesses
and testified regarding the booking
system by which certain firms of man
ayers controlled practically all the bet
ter class of theaters throughout the
country.
Belasco's suit sought to hold Klaw
& Erlanger as his partners in a con-
tract for the management of David
Warfield. This agreement was with
one Joseph Brooks, who Belasco al
leges was merely a dummy, the real
principal being the Arm Of Klaw &
Erlanger.
The case was complicated by an ac-
ton brought by. Brooks to prove that
he was Belasco's partner. Justice
Fitzgerald decided against Belasco and
at the same time granted Brooks con-
tention.

DID NOT REFUSE AID
TO DISTRESSED SHIP

NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-THE captain
of the French steamer Bordeaux today
denied the report that he refused aid
to the steamer Arranmore which sig
nailed to him that she was on fire.
The Bordeaux's captain said that on
the 9Th. In very foggy weather and
heavy seas, he saw an English steam
err. When this steamer was about
abreast Of the Bordeaux she signalled
her number and the Bordeaux put up
the signal "Seen."
Afterwards, when the Bordeaux had
passed and the fog was thicker, SO that
the signals was less visible, the cap
tadn thinks he saw other signals, but
could not comprehend their signif1c-
ance.
The captain declares positively that
no signal Of distress was displayed by
the international code SO far as could
be seen nor did the steamer in sight
change her route to get nearer the
Bordeaux.

explaining the different forms of insanity

He talked intelligently, and the visitors

accompanied them to the door on their

A RIGHTEOUS CAUSE.

Some fairly estimable persons profess
to see in labor unions a great bane to
the American people. They are inclined
to deny to the workingmen the right to
organize and make the cause Of thous-
individual workingman makes a demand
affecting his wages, hours or other mat
ters pertaining to his employment, no
particular harm is seen in it, but when
tho demand comes from a whole trade
or aggregation Of trades it is a terrible
thing.
What in reality constitutes the diff
ference between the two? Simply that
the demand Of the individual can be set
aside In a moment by putting another
man in his place to do his work. but
that can not be done so easily when a
whole organized body is involved.
Again. those persons who see so much
harm in labor unions have never been
known to see anything wrong with or
ganized capital. II there was no other
excuse for the organization Of labor it
most certainly, according to The Suns
idea, would have the same right to or
ganize as has capital. To carry the
matter little farther. the organization
of labor is made imperative by the or
ganization Of capital. That portion Of
the air of freedom that is being breath
ed in America today may rightfully be
credited to organised labor, which thus
far has protected people against the ag-
gressions of the millionaire class which
Is theoretically trying to enslave man
kind. American citizens have a great
deal to thank unions for, and as years
go by there will be much more for
which to sincerely grateful.
The best minds Of today admit that
trades unions are right in principle.
Among such is the president Of the
United States, who has been an earnest
student Of the subject for years.
There are many ramiications and
subdivisions Of the arguments for and
against organized labor, but this article
Is intended solely to deal with the first
principles which underlie the subject
To be sure. there have been crimes in
the name Of organized labor, but that
will work itself out in time and will be
found to be for the best.
The great masses can we'll thank or
ganized labor for what 1t has done, and
more still for what it will do.-The
