weight OF any schemes Of distribution!
The church has not attempted to rive
precise answers to these questions, atid
small wonder, for the workers them
selves are In hopleless disa g1eemant
concerning the right solution.
Here Is where the second group Of
principles or policies urged by the
church would prove effective. Organ

would, In conjunction with a universal
living wage, bring about as near an
approach to complete wage Justice al

with reference to organization. I
may say In passing that the Catholic
theology condemns none Of the char
acteristic methods Of unionism when
used with reason and moderation. Thfs
statement applies to the strike, the
union shop, the boycott and, in ex-
.treme cases, even to the secondary
boycott.
FINALLY the principle that capital IL
entitled to merely fair interest would.
If enforced, put an end to tho exact
ions of monopoly, to stock watering
and the various other devices Of fraud
ulent fortunes. Surely the church,
whose chief province is the world lof
the spirit, is not neglectful of her 10
cial duties when she lays down such
be.:eflcent and far-reaching principles
Of social Justice as these! The So
cia'ists do, indeed, condemn h4rs: for
failing to adopt their particular Aociat
scheme, but: until they have demon
strated that Socialism is workable, the
church will very properly confine her
attention to the evils and abuses OF the
present order. ana will disoountenance
all attempts to abolish that order by
the methodt Of ofsreyolution." Z. ! ].

AVARICE AND GREED
ENEMIES OF CULTURE
Love OF Money Clog to Educational
Advancement and Enlightenment.

Carnegie once said that the man
who wants to become a millionaire
must be without education and cul-
ture, and that it is very rare that a.
man who has reputation for letters
or science Is successful in business.
Which, after all lis but another way
OF saying that the capitalist system
is a clog to educational advancement
and intellectual enlightenment And
perhaps here we have an explanation
Of the fact that the era Of great
literary minds in this country, the
Emersons, Holmes, Bryants, Long
fellows Whittiers, Hawthornes, Low
ellis, and so on, came to a close Just
as full-fledged, all-filching capitalism
was taking possession of the country.

GUARANTY LAW VALID -

GUTHRIE, Sept. 2s.-The Oklahoma

The law was attacked as being in
violation Of several provisions of the

clare that no person shall be deprived

TRADES UNION PUBLICITY

Advertising.
Advertising that Lacks Life and

Perfunctory.

Most advertising is decidedly per-
functory;;' it lacks: life and personality.
To relieve the monotony Of the aver
age advertisement some writer's have
introduced "outside' material which
adds interest and gives information
concerning the article advertised. They
will tell you how certain article was
manufactured or they. will narrate
some other interest ing facts in con-
nection with its :. production. Many
department store advertisement writ
'ers print daily, at the head. Of their

be employed in trades union aiver-

Such a phrase as this may be proper
~, Employed: For many years the
comomn people fought for a religious
democracy, and they won. Then they
took up the battle in behalf Of po-
litical democracy, and the conquered.
They are now, making the. fight for

sure to win" -. ~.
To thoroughly. analyze the charac-
teristic or predominant feeling in a
community with regard to the labor
union will be invaluable in approach
ing the people through an advertising
campaign. To speak directly to this
situation will : attract and interest
them. A series of letters might be
sent to- certain individuals whose in
terest 1t is desired to secure, or a
series of statements might be printed
in the newspapers. The first might
deal with the personality Of the men
who are in the labor. union, the char
acter Of the talk depending, of course,
upon the particular point that one is
trying to make. If, for instance, it
iS.Tdesired to impress community
with the sobriety and general religious
feleing among the men in the union,
one might state that Of the total num-
ber,. 50 many are abstainers from lii
toxicating liquors, SO many are men,
bers Of the church, so many own their
homes, so many have money deposited
in the banks, so many are heads Of
families-all of which, and much more
than might be said, indicates that the
men in the union are a good class
Of citizens. The second letter might
deal with the spirit Of democracy
which Is found in the labor union,
giving some points as, to how this
spirit is manifested, in the free and
full discussion OF very question that
is presented, and in the. equality Of
rights. Other points will no doubt
suggest themselves. II three or four
OF such letters were issued, they would
be saure to make: a favorable impres-
sion upon the outsider. !.

more evidence to convict a liquor

We have heard of cases where the
evidence OF one witness has been

lives. the law requires to offer suf-
