Uncle Sans interpretation Bulletin
According to an official of the wealth

JAPANESE SAINTS.
The One Most Beloved by the People
Is Binzura.

Among the many Buddhst-Shinto
saints, whose quaint etfigies set up in
every conceivable nook and corner of
Japan make it Country of craven
images" one Of the most impressive
and interesting Is the pathetic person
called Binzuru. He was once upon O
time member of that strange com
pany Of Buddhist disciples known as
the sixteen Rakkan." But one day
he fell from grace by remarking upon
the attractions of woman, and he
was expelled from the society of
chaste brethren. The great Buddha
gave him, in return for all that his
worldliness had cost him, power to
heal human ills and to grant the
prayers of childless women who long
ed for motherhood. But he was put
outside the temples. He must hence
forth sit without, in the midst of the
passing throng. and submit himself
to personal contact with all that was
unclean and healthess. The simple
hearted people love him, | think
above all saints. His wooden images
In the temple pOrches are the strangest
objects in all Japan. They give him
soft cushions to sit upon, and he is
always clothed in quaint little cotton
stuff collars and mufIlers in all sorts of
solled looking colors, and on his head
his devotecs usually keep a curious
little cotton cap.-Eleanor Franklin In

THE INDEPENDENT WORKER.

There are men outside the ranks
of organized labor who refuse to
join because, as they say, "they
want to work where they will,
when they want to, as long as they
want to and for what they want
to-" They greatly prize their in
dependence.
Some Of these men are accepting
the hours and wages created by
organized labor without assisting
in any way to further the cause of
organized labor.
The man who insists that he will
not join a labor union because he
wants to work where, when, as
long and for what he wants to is a
joker. Where can a man be found
who can do it!
A man who Is compelled to earn
his living by hard work must ac-
cept work when and where and on
such terms as he can secure it.
His boosted independence is a
mere wordy vapor.
Organized with his fellows, he
has an opportunity to have a say
regarding his own labor, but alone
he is as helpless as sapling on a
moor In tempest. Many a good
man outside Of organized labor
clings to this idea of personal in
dependence (Which he believes he
would lose if he joined a union),
and is used by his brainier fellow
man who urges this idea upon him
continually.
1t is possible to understand this
type of man, but it is difficult to
get an angle on man who will
take fellow-worker's place when
offered premium to do so in
order to starye his fellow-man in.
to submission. No lower animal
will treat his own kind worse than
this. But, then, man is only
animal that hunts its own kind.

people knew the extent to which
newspaper men are made the re-

would not cherish the error that
newspapers eagerly published every

the ears of their reporters. 1t is
safe to say that nearly every news
paper suppresses more of social
scandal than do those people who
loudly complain of the supposed
''indiscriminate attacks on private

criticism and when these involve
scandal the persons involved have
themselves to blame for furnishing
the material for their criticisms.

''NOT DESIRABLE AS CITIZENS

The expression of the President
i'll which he characterized the
Western Federation miners, Hay
wood, Pettibone and Mover, as
undesirable citizens" has been
variously discussed in the public
press since it was first given out.
1t is admitted that Roosevelt can
say things and can do things which
no other President would have
dreamed of saying or doing, and
by many he is regarded as the in
carnatiOn of all that is desirable i'm

after all. does his declat:on prove
anything beyond the fact that he

EIGHT HOURS, WHY NOT.

Long experience has proved that
man will labor eight hours with
less fatigue than if he labors nine
hours That ought to be "a self
evident proposition. If he has
been deprived of his privilege of
working only eight hours and is
compelled to work for the same
wages during nine hours he will
not turn out the same amount of
work In nine hours that he form
erly accomplished in eight hours.
These are the statistics of labor
throughout the world. Nothing is
gained and much may be be lost
by this. forcing process, especially
II the laborer has enjoyed other
and more sanitary conditions. He
naturally objects to giving his en-
ployer that extra hour on the prin-
clple that it is part of his only
capital. He would not think of
compelling that employer to give
MIN anything on any terms if the
employer did not want to sell it.
Even if the employer in this in
stance is-willing to pay for nine
hours labor the employed is not in

these hours than he sees fit. If he

his labor he should not be forced
