LOVELORN
BY Beatrice Fairfax.

do but accept mans neglect and UNI
kindness without cutlery. AT least, you
have the comfort OF knowing that you
have not run after him In any way. IL
may be that you have unconsciously'
offended him In some way. Do not
fret. A man that behaves as he does
Is not worth spelling your life for.
LOVE WILL COME SOME DAY.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
l am girl IS years OF age. Last
year became acquainted with a
young man whom loved with all my
heart. but. seeing that he did not love
me. tried to forget him. do not
love him any more now. About three
months ago | met another young men
who las he says) fell In love with me
at first sight. He Is 81 years Of age.
He has asked me several times to give
him decided answer as to whether I
love him or not. but l cannot come to
any decision. I think I do care for
him. but not as much as I did for tho
other young man. Do you think II ad-
visable for me to say YES" as I think
will never be able to love any one
as did the first young man? Do you
think We could live on $13 per week?
E. 8.
II you do not love him as much as
you did the other man, I think You
had better refuse him. Some day you
Will care for some one just as much
as you did the frst man. Perhaps II
you wait while you will learn to love
the present man with all your heart,
but 1t would not be fair to him to ac-
cept him unless you were quite sure
that you really loved him. You could
live on his salary II you were strictly
economical.

THE "GUARD
SYSTEMS''
And Private Detectivee Agencies
Flood County With Circulars
Advising Spies in Class Struggle.

The "guard SYSTEM and de
tective agencies that SPY on labor
unions and otherwise serve the
employers are teaching economics
to their prospective customers
based entirely on that "repugnant
and un- -American' doctrine Of the
struggle of the classes.
The international Auxiliary.
Company, the local branch of the
notorious Corporations Auxiliary
Company of Cleveland, o., in a
circular letter sent to New York
employers, urges the use of spies
among their employees, in the shop
and i'll the union. The letter SAYS:
"Our service advises you just
whom you can depend upon in the
event Of trouble, so that Whatever
situation may arise you will not
be unprcpared. We have been
standing as bulwark between
the unfair demands made by labor
officials and the employees for the
past twenty years, and during all
that time the situation has never
been rs interesting us it is today.
Labor aud capital are standing
face to face, both prepared to fight
TO finish, and each with the full
support of its class. 1t would be
extremely unwise to ignore the
issue as it stands today and in
order to properly safeguard your
interests you must have Il positive
knowledge that your plant is en-
tlrcly free from labor influence and
that the organizer and the agitator
who today are being sent broad
cast throughout this country will
ind no welcoming hand among
any OF your employees"
The letter futher says that the
company can furnish spies who are
competent to work in any depart
mcnt of any industry. The spies
through daily reports are said to
be able to increase the output and
decrease expenses Of any factory in
which they are employed.
The letter does not say that
these methods promote the

LOW WAGES
IS DEATH
The Death Kne11 and DESTROYER of
Progress Prosperity in any Town,
City or Community,

There are always a lot of short
sighted people who constantly adj
Vecate and try to practice a low
wage scale system. Some even 90
so far i'll their efforts employ
people at a low wage as to import
men.
A more mistaken policy could
not be imagined. Low wages
means that the wage carncrs can
buy only the bare necessities of
life; that they are compelled to
live i'll cheap houses. several fami-
lies to live together in crowded
quarters, and in all things econ
omizc to the limit.
Again, we defy any person to
name one town or city in the
United States with universal low
wage scale that is prosperous.
On the other hand, let's take the
high wage scale cities and towns,
There you find the wage earners
buying or owning homes; you find
carpets on the floors and pianos in
the parlOrs and music teachers en-
ployed and the children in the
schools. Horses and carrigcs are
owned, and the workingmen take
their families to the local pleasure
resorts in their carriages. to the
opera houses. They wear good
clothes, buying the best. They
have plenty Of food in their homes
and the best quality. In a high
wage scale city the worl>ingmen
are independent and take a keen
n, ,taraSf, in all f.i1-i,. tf:,i,,S
Again, in the low wages scale
cities we Will find a few very rich
people and many very poor people.
In Il high wage scale city, all who
care to be are prosperous.

CHAMPIONS
The Trade Union Movement in a
Sermon to Organized Labor
Union Has Common Business
Right.

At st. Andrews Episcopal
church, at st. Paul, last Sunday
night, the rector, Rev. Thos. Sum
mers, preached the annual sermon
to organized labor. He said in part:
l Will state Il few self-evidcnt
truths upon which trades unions
are founded and which have since
developed:
Labor has a right to organize.
Labor has a right to full pro
lection by law.
laws should be the welfare Of the
laborcr (Sir Thomas More.)
Labor organizations has been
beneficial to society. both to trade
and to the laborcr.
Shorter hours of labor are better
for the workman and the business
in which he is engaged. Yet it
took a hundred years Of hard
fighting to get them.
Higher wages uplifts the laborcl
benefits society and increases trade
illustrations in proof of this.
Trades unions are not the cause
Of hostility between labor and
capitol but the result of it.
Capitol docs not make Il man.
and labor in no sense degrades a
man. Both are men and both are
entitled to consideration.
The greatness of nation is not
increased by the selfish aggrand
izement of a privileged few, but by
the charter and tone of it's free
working classes as well us of the
more refined and educated.
The labor movement is an in
stinct Of mans nature. and is
governed by the law of human
progress.
And labor has the right to pro-
test. This cannot be denied
Capitol has exercised this right
from the beginning. y patient,
calm, law abiding strike is often
the best and quickest solution Of a
difficulty between labor and
capital, and will prevent other
strikes.

Labor does not demand ''equal
wages for all workmen." They in
sist only upon "a minimum living
