PRINCIPLES ALIKE.

The principles of Christianity
and trades-unionism are alike, for
i'll their last analysis they are
simply the principles of fair play
They are founded on the conviction
that that which binders the prog
reSs of the world in the long run is
human greed and human selfish
ness, generally in some subtle form
which, for the better deception of
humanity, clothes itself in fine
names and popularity passes by a
splendid title. Look at the great
est monopoly which can use for IL
lustration, that by which one of
the most useful discoveries of the
last century, and one obviously
intended by Providence for the
hrnciit of the country ut large, has

Public ownership and operatio n,

How can a contractor do Il job at Il
lower price than a city can, and
make Il profit as well?
There is only one answer to the
foregoing. He can do it by en-
plOying less men than the city
would and making them do more
work, as well as work them longer
hours, and give them less pay per
hour.
Public ownership and operation
has wider scope. If city does
its own work there is no profit
that is to say. there is no money
taken from the public for private
gain. If a surplus enSueS it is for

LABOR DAY.


The one occasion when organ
lZed labor presents itself to the
view of the American people as an
entirety and seeks to impress that
vast populacc with its real might
and numbers, as well as the true
significance as an element in the
national life, is its celebration of
Labor Day.
On that day the populacc of
every industrial center have pre-
scented to them an object lesson of
the true relationship which the
union man bears the rest Of his
kind as well as American society
itself
According to the degree in which
the men of the trades union organ

and success of their great move

dlSpcl the clouds of f:rlSchnod and
misrepresentation by which SCI
fishneSS and greed seek during the
balance of the year to surround
it.

as well as pleasure. In its holiday
feature it possesses substantial
Tatuc, as well to society at large rs

duty, however, which it imposes

The Ice and Coal Habits.

The certainty that the price of ice
will be unusually high in the great
cities during the coming summer is
causing the metropolitan newspapers
to give their readers a lot of advice on
the subject of the ice habit. The stu
alton is much the same as it was a few
years ago during the coal famine. when
people began to realize, apparently In
many instances for the first time. that
they were not wholly dependent upon
coal as fuel, and that there was no
necessity for keeping their houses
heated to the point before then consul
cred necessary in most American
homes.
There is no doubt that the American
people suffer from the ice and coal
ha bits. The average temperature. in
American homes is kept much higher
in cold weather than in homes ini Eng
land. Germany and France, for in
stance. though the lower temperature
is a much more healthy one. The ice
habit: as we Americans know it. is not
known in Europe. Here everything
" hich we eat must be either piping hot
or ice cold, and a drink of water is
hardly palatable without the clink of
the ice i'm the cooler from which it is
turnee. Medical men agree that a vast
amount Of damage is done the Amari-
can stomach from the freedom with
which ice is used.
OF course, as a means of preventing
decay and spelling food ice is neces-
sary in our summer months. but no
doubt the, average family in our cities
would be much better off with less ice
used for other purposes than most of
them have been in the habit of using.
The prospective extortions of ice deal
ers as a result of the winters small ice
production will serve a good purpose if
1t impresses upon people the realz-
alton of the fact that they can get
along with less ice in their food and
drink.
