TRADES UNION PROGRESS

The inpatient and surface OBJ
servers of trades union effort and
our movement often say: Why
doesn't the unions do this thing or
that thing? Why don't they ever
learn anything? and why don't
they profit by the lessons of the
past?'' AS Il matter of fact, trades
unions are further advanced in the
science of government and trades
unions are better qualified for self
government than any other organi-
cation or any other body of citi-
zens.
Nations and the mass of citizens
never learn anything in leaps and
jumps. The upward and onward
march of the masses is slow and
evolutionary. The masses learn
by experience in all walks of life
and in all nations, and not by de-
ductiOns taken from the past. The
members of trades unions have
made greater mental and physical
progress by virtue of our associ-
alton with our fellowmen in our
unions than the unorganized mass
has on the other hand. TO organ
ize and keep our unions alive and
make them do what we expect of
them requires thought and study,
both of which lead to greater in
telligence.
One trouble is that the unthink-
ing public exacts a greater standard
of intelligence and morality from
the unions and unionlsts than they
do from any other organization,
regardless of what it may be.
While trades unionists are human
beings drawn from the great body
of humanity, we are by association
and the effort to maintain our
unions, compelled to think and
study, which makes us more reli-
ant, self-controlled and better
equipped for the struggle of life.

WHAT LABOR DID IN MAINE.

Union men, did you see the re-
turns from Maine, where we went
after our enemies9 They're worth
studying. In a district which had
given Mr.. Littlefeld 1000 and 5000
plurality he got through by the
"skin of his teeth' with about
1000. And they wouldn't have
got that if they had not called on

large city in the State went against
Cobb, who stood by Littletield in
his stand against the workers, He
only carried the State by bare
5000, where the usual majority is
from %, 600 to 10000. The same
ratio of change in districts through
out the country where there are
candidates who have fought labor's
measures would make rafting of
dry bones that would not soon be
forgotten. And we can do it. Yes.
and we must do it. Then let's be

FROM A BUSINESS STANDPOINT.

Honesty is the best policy from
a business standpoint because it
pays larger and more regular divi
dends than does dishonesty. Leav-
ing all moral sentiment out of the
question and casting to the winds
the question of right or wrong, as
a purely business proposition hon
esty pays in the long run, and the
man who is honest acquires larger
gain i'll the end than the man who
is dishonest. The man who is hon
est, be he working for wages or sell
ling goods, gives fair and liberal
value for the money he receives,
and in that way retains as long as
he lives the patronage of those who
have come to know of his honest
principles. BE he u wage worker,
his employer is glad to keep him
year in and year out, for he knows
he is giving him an honest days
work for an honest days pay, and
that he is studying his interests at
all times, and not watching the
clock or waiting for the whistle to
blow. If he is a business man, his
patrons are glad to continue deal
ing with him for the reason that
they are fully assured they arc get
ting full value for their money
every time they make a purchase
of him Therefore he is always
busy and is steadily deriving the
just and legal profit on his work
or goods to which he is fully en-
titled. This in II lifetime aggre-
gates far more than he could steal
or gain dishonesty by other meth
DDS without detection and punish
ment, and he has, in addition, the
valuable assets of Il clear CON
science. A man may be honest
from principle or may be honest
from policy, but the fact remains
that so long as he is honest he
stands by far the best chance to
win out iii the struggle for exist
ence of today, and gets more pleas
ure and profit out of life than does
the man who is dishonest. You
are looking for paying methods
these days. You are seeking the
best of it-therefore. be honest.

The man who has nothing but
brains has Il vast advantage over
the man who has nothing but mon
ey. He has nothing to lose, for
there is no trust in brains and his
idea crop cannot be corncred. The
man with the money may drop
every dollar of it, but the man
with the brains has secure stock
which cannot be taken from him.
The moneyed man may fail in bus
mess and have it all swept away
The man with brains cannot fail !,
nor can they be seized by any man
under any pretext. Thousands of
good things await the man with
brains, and those are the men who
today possess the money. When
their brains are constantly evolving
new and valuable ideas a constant
stream Of money follows. Brains
bring money, but money can never
buy brains.

Cost of Natural Ice.

MIR. Oler then goes into details as to the
cost of landing natural ice from upstate
points on the docks in New York. He ex-
plains the increase in price today by saying
that when the nearby crop is short the
company has to draw upon its supply in
Maine, thus largely increasing the expense
OF handling the product. The company. ne
says, has maintained its properties IN
Maine for many years at dead loss. hold
ing them for just such an emergency as
the present one. In conclusion Mr.. Oler
says:
These are some of the things which the
ice man has to contend with and which the
public does not understand Ii should be
borne in mind that the American Ice Com
pany Is in business to stay. II would be
the worst kind of business policy to charge
more for ice than IS Justined by the condi-
tons. and the American Ice Company has
too much sense to try to squeeze the pub
lie this year. forgetting the many years yet
10 come during which they expect to do
business at the same Old stand"
The fact that Ice is being brought from
Maine just now In part explains the short

The American Ice Company, the so-called
trust, is beginning to sit up and take notice
even in this city. where protests against
the extortionate charges have been voiced
with apparent reluctance by the people
who were glad enough to have ice at al
most any old price. But with the shortage
of the crop not apparent to the casual OBJ
server. and no good reason offered why IA
cilities should not be at hand for artificial
manufacture. the people are becoming more
and more outspoken. In an attempt to
head off the storm. Wesley NJ. Oler, presi-
dent of the trust. has issued public state
ment In which he attempts to explain why
since the natural ice crop is uncertain, his
company has not installed machinery
enough to supply the demands of the
public.
ITO do this" said Mr. Oier, would re-
quire an expenditure in New York alone Of
$6,000,00O. 1t would also mean the abandon
ment of an equal amount of property now
devoted to the natural Ice business Since
the natural crop has failed only once in
in cycles. 1t Is probable that for the next
fifteen years the machinery thus installed
would be worthless, since ice cannot be
manufactured In New York as cheaply as
the natural ice can be marketed. 1t Is a
good deal better for the public and the
company. whose interests after all run to-
gether. that the company should not install
expensive machinery. since the public
would necessarily have to pay the interest
on the investment IN the end by paying
permanently higher price for ice than

CRIME NOT coNsoLINa

Some men kill to avenge wrongs and add crime to misery, thinking to neal the wound by pouring into 1t the sweet oil of revenge, when utter silence would have been the only consolation.

 Now, word as to arrangement. Gre tonne curtains tor country homes are almost invariably unlined, and are tin- ished with a narrow taffeta edge. When lined, an interlining is almost essential which both looks and is too heavy for summer
 These curtains are no longer hung on rings, but run on an iron rod, using a tuck and heading. A single strip of the cretonne. reaching from the ceiling to the floor, goes on each side of the rod while between the strips is run rather narrow valance.
 If for any reason the heavy curtains are to be close drawn. then two widths of the material is used on each side. This Is run by rings on a separate rod. while the valenee goes entirely across the top. 4
