Despite the !. fercest antagonism of:

Something In Name.
With some regret have I heard sew
eral men in our movement repeating
the false designation of the union shop
as the opponents to our movement
call it, the closed shop. Those who are
hostile to labor cunningly employ the
term "closed shop" for "a union SHOP
because, Of the general antipathy which
is ordinarily felt toward anything be-
ing closed and with the spccious plea
that the so-called '.open shop" must
necessarily be the opportunity for free

and any intelligent observer know that

shop implies also duties and response
bilities. This is incident to and the
corollary of all human institutions.
What Citizenship Implies. -.
In our country citizenship implies
not only rights and privileges; it also
imposes duties and obligations, and
from these NO good citizen has the
right to claim exemption. - So.
On the other hand, the so-called
"open shop is indeed the closed shop,
closed to worknen who have the in
telligence and the manhood to realize
that they, acting as individuals, cam
not hope for. the redress of a. wrong
or the attainment Of a right. Men who
understand their duty to themselves
and their fellows unite and associate
for the betterment of their conditions
and to secure the right and the justice
which are SO essentially theirs. We
have the right to expect that our
friends, and particularly our own men,
shall speak Of the union shop by it's
proper name. We shall persistently
contend for it; we shall achieve it.

A CONTINUING MENACE.

In the second number of his news
paper, The Issue, James X. Varda-
man, former Governor of Mississippi,
describes Mr.. RooSevelt's recent mes
sage rs "a tOcSin of war which calls
TO arms every honest and patriotic
American.
Mr.. Roosevelt is said 10 be any
thing but pleased by the vociferous
Communications OF his message which
has come from the jeff Davises and
the Nardamans. If he is annoyed
now, what will his feelings be in the
future? AS long as he lives it will
ever remain TO embaTass him.
The historian will record that when
the country needed peace, respect
for law, public order, reform with
out passion, n revival of credit, more
confidence and more work, the Presi-
dent of the United States, in exploit
ing his own political ambitions, sent
n message to Congress, which, had
his words been Interpreted literally,
could have meant only more people
out of employment, more industries
suspended, more prosperity disturb
ed, more doubt, more distrust, more
decentralization, more reduction of
wages, more prospect of another
panic.
The logic of that message, carried
to its extreme conclusion, meant
the mob spirit, riot and bloodshed
and the country is not yet done with
II. The menace of the message was
not to Wall Street, or to capital, or
TO corporations, or to trusts, but to
the people who depend upon their
wages for bread.
This is menace that will not
soon pass away. For years to come
Mr.. Roogevelt's words will be quot
ed by demagogues melting the people
TO class war. His cries will be echoed
from socialist and anarchist meetings
intent on proving that the social or
der is rotten and that capitalism
menaces all the liberties of mankind.

The Fight Against tuberculosis.

Captain w. W. Baker of Chester
field, has engineered through the
House OF Finance Committee his bill
amending the existing State law pro-
viding for the creation of the State
Board of Health.
The bill,as provided by the COM
mittee, carries an appropriation or
$40, 600, which shall be used in the
erection of tuberculosis sanitariums,
and in the examination of causes of
infectious diseases. "
This from Richmond dispatch of
the 18th instant. Captain Baker is TO
be congratulated upon the vigor and
persistence and the apparent success
which he has thus far experienced in
the matter above referred TO. The
amount of the appropriation carried
by his bill is not one cent in excess
OF what the requirements of the sit
uation demand, and il is 10 be great
ly hoped that il will be given. The
News believes that if the Legislature
enacts the Baker bill in behalf of a
State anti tuberculosis movement
ii will achieve the initial step in a
policy for which the present and
future generations will owe last
ing debt of appreciation. Lynch
burg News.
Few people who have not looked
into the matter have any idea of the
extent of the prevalence and raw
ages of this dreadful Scourge, even in
the rural districts, and particularly
among the colored people. Take Taze-
we'll for instance: Whole families of
colored people have been almost en-
tirely wiped out by consumption
within the past ten years, in and
near this town, and a prominent
physician says that at least % per
cent of the present number of inhab-
Itants oolored people in this COM
muntity have the disease now in
some Stage of its progress. This is a
menace TO the health and lives of
every family in the town. Many of
these tubercular people work invite
families, or do the family wash, and
are liable TO spread the disease. The
same is, no doubt, true of other COM
munities and the Baker bill should
pass, and heroic measures adopted to
stay the ravages of the great White
Plague.
