There has existed, and still exists
to some extent, false sentiment
that labor is degrading or belittlingr
observes the Cincinnati Enquirer. The

Of society can come only when every
of 1t recognize2s that he is
bound to exercise whatever skill or
strength or faculty he possesses to
its full capacity, not selfishly or for
the sake OF gain merely, but for mis-
own happiness and development and
for the benefit of all. And there
should be no restriction on any one,
either legal or social or through as
ISOLATION, in regard to his labor or Its
fruits. If by patient application OF
natural endowment a man possesses
more skill than his fellow or IL he
chooses to be more Industrious he is
entitled to tho full benefit of it.

The Washington Post oplnes that
the only thing demanded of the stage
by great maturity OF its patrons is
to be amused. The old-time love OF
tragedy is gone never to return. The
reasons for its departure and for it's
staying away are easily perceptible,
There are but two of them, and the
first is the redundant plentitude OF
the tragic in the every day life of the
people. The other is the strenuous
ness Of modern business life. In this
respect our time contrasts with that
