into the very natural mistake of as

that it is true that statistics show

Different in The North.

Said a man from the North
to a Hustler reporter:
"Hendersonville does not seem
to know anything about panics.
I am from the North, and there
are literally thousands upon
thousands of men there walking
the streets and looking for work.
In Ohio, my home, the business
depression is remarkable and
things have been very bad since
last winter. Skilled mechanics
who have never known what it
was to be out of employment are
idle by the hundreds. and many
thousands Of laborers are out of
work.
Il am told that your banks in
this city have never;even issued
script. Truly a most remarka-
BILE exhibition of the solid foun-
dation upon which your evident
prosperity is based.
No, Judging from the stocks
your merchants are carrying,
your bank statements, and the
enormous amount of produce
your farmers have beeushipping,
/ judge your folks do not know
the word panic do not know
how to even spell it. And in
you are far more fortunate
than the people of the North"

pause in the rush is without result;
temporary cessation of activity,
without he economy of greater en-
#ergy to come.
This day of labor is a day for
seIf-examintion by all the people. 1t
is the national expression of .obliga-
age that have given the nation itself
to the world. 1t is a potent day-a
day of thoughtful emphasis of causes;
"a day of emphasis of question, and
of question of conditions. In the
force which it represents Is held the
trust of the common good. In the
way in which the trust is guarded
and performed is bound upXthe hap

embrace confidence, and feel

This day-dedicated to labor
should be the most significant of all
the meaning-packed holidays, because
it represents the law. A lawyer will
speak of law as a rule Of action Or
as the refinement of reason A
scientist will speak of it as a biolQgi-
cal evolution proceeding by means of
natural selection A physicist will
talk of the play of molecules, and a
preacher will ave. that the long jour-
ney toward the millennium is made
possible only by Love- All these
things may be of the essence OF the
law that rules the world, but no one
or all of them could put into opera
ton, or enforce, the practical law of
under which we live. The
lawyers law may be the refinement
of reason, but it was labor that
forced the acceptance of it as logic
in practice. The boldest p~rotoplasm
ever dreamed of evolving into a
of industry would not have
survived the first October frost with
out the painful effort hat bought it
It's existence. Molecular force had
first to be conquered OF the anvil.
