Every member of organized labor Is
deeply interested in the country's well
fare and In everything that contributes
to the welfare of the people. particu-
larly so in having the conditions under
which labor is performed made as
pleasant and as deveid Of *earying
influences as possible. Work per-
formed in the governmental navy
yards Is carried on under the most
favorable conditions and, as conse-
quence, the men who perform it fare
better than do those who perform SIM
liar work under contract in private
yards. Every effort should be made
and every energy bent In the direction
Of making it imperative that 4 fair
proportion of all warships conte1n-
plated for the future should be built
by the government. TO this end a
clause ought to be placed in the naval
appropriation bill when it comes up
before congress making it mandatory
for the building of at least one of the
new ships in each of the governments
navy yards. Make your wishes known
to your congressman In this respect.
and have the matter taken UP by
every local and every central labor
body. Have it thoroughly discussed,
and send the result to your represer-
tatives in Washington. Tell them
what you require at their hands and
inform them with a firmness that
there will be no mistakfng that their
future depends upon how. they perform
| what you require from them.

Navy Yard tor share Of the work
that is contemplated: j, e. = T..
1.-THE New York Navy Yard is at
present equipped with one of the best
shtpbuilding plants in the country, anil
has a corps of American artisans
whose technical and mechanical abi;-
ity is unexcelled. We need good ships,
we want the best that can be pro-
duced, for on these ships the tate Of
the country may depend. Considering
the great number Of lives depending
on their quality and endurance, the
enormous amount spent on their con-
struction and maintenance, does it not
seem expedient that fair portion Of
them should be constructed in Gov
eminent Navy Yards? In fact, tae
government should adopt the policy Of
having at least one ship constantly
under construction in the Navy Yard.
The result of this policy would be far
reaching in its effect.
"The government would have con-
tinually in it's employ a well-trained
mechanical force capable Of meeting
any emergency. 1t would spur the
tagging contractor to complete his
ship in contract time, and it would
serve as an excellent comparison as
regards the amount and quality OF
work completed at regular Intervals
What foreign nations are doing in
respect to the construction Of battle
ships and the proportion Of them that
are built by the different governments

HOW NEW ZEALAND PROTECTS
HER CHILDREN,

1t is interesting to learn in these
days when every attempt to rescue the
children from the facrtoies and place
them in school here is fought and
blocked by the exploiting class. that
there is one country where children
are permitted to be children during
the age of childhood. This is in New
Zealand. where the workingmen have
been intelligent enough to use their
voting strength properly, and thereby
get possession Of the governing ma
chinery OF their country. As a cor,se-
Quence Of this every child has an
equal opportunity in the battle Of life,
as far at least as the start is con-
cerned, for every one Of them is CAROL
for with a. tenderness that can not be
understood very we'll by those who
contemplate 1t from a distance. The
intelligent observer, however, wno
visits that country and studies the Sit
uation at short range can not fail t,
understand 1t and, what is more ap-
preciatcd, the wisdom, the far sight,
edness and possibilities OF the New
Zealand policy. -
A California gentleman visited New
Zealand recently and was very much
impressed with the way the. children
were cared for and the excellent sys-
tenn in vogue for their proper and in
diligently directd development. Al
this observer does, not belong to the
working class, what he reports is Ut
considerable value, as his impressions
could not be biased in any way by his
synpathies, He noticed several
things, but what impressed him most
was the way the government assumed
all responsibility tor the welfare Of
children who were improperly cared
for by their natural protectors, or who
had been left friendless, and therefore

SET UNCLE SAM TO WORK.

No statement could be made that is
more at variance with facts than to
say that Uncle Sam can not compete
with private shipbuilding firms when
1t comes to question Of turning out
battleships. His ability in this direc-
ton was more than demonstrated
when the Connecticut was built at the
Brooklyn Navy Yard, for it was shown
that in point of speed, excellence Of
construction and equipment she was
UNNECESSARILY superior to her sister
ship, the Louisiana, which had been
constructed under contract in a ~pri-
vate yard. The Connecticut cost
little more to build than did the Louis
lana, but the superiority of the work
when, completed more than compen-
stated for the extra expenditure. II
1t is the intent of the government to
increase the navy, and all indications
point that way, it would be a wise
policy and in strict conformity with
what experience would dictate to have
fair proportion of the proposed new
battleships built in the country's navy
yards. These yards are now fully
equipped with the latest and most inn
proved machinery, so that the most
modern methods of construction could
be employed, thus insuring completion
in contract time. Other countries,
particularly Great Britain and France,
have long ago discovered how advi3-
able it is to have the government con-
struct their warships, and to have
their navy yards fully equipped and
perfectly manned, so as to be prepared
for any and every emergency that
might arise. If we should follow their
example in this respect the country

ST. PAUL MEETING.

The Minnesota Union Advocate OF
st. Paul, in it's account of the pro-
ceedings of Labor's mass meeting at
the St. Paul auditorium on Sunday
speaks of our Duluth man as follows
and under the following heading:
McEwen's Scholarly Arrangement.
w. E. McEwen, secretary of the
State Federation of Labor, who was
the next speaker, began a scholarly
and impressive address with the dec
laration that the cause of labor was
as holy as any that ever engaged the
attention of mankind. He said that
the essence of the cause was the
same as that which inspired Moses
to lead the Israelites in their great
strike against Pharaoh, whose pur
pose was to keep Gods people in ig-
norance and constantly at work.
The struggle of the toilers then
was just what it is now-an effort
for individual liberty, equal rights be-
fore the law and personal manhood,
and this contention would finally tri-
umph as that did. He reviewed the
following struggles through the ages
for better conditions and larger life
and impressively epitomized the re-
suits of each advance.
The great thing now to be sought,
said Mr.. McEwen, was labor's indie
pendence of capital, which owns the
means of production, the machinery
the plants and the power to dictate
terms. To win what it is after, labor
must stand together and demand it's
rights in regular order-firs.. min
imum wage scale, and afterward the
other things it is contending for, but
always 1t must insist upon the recog-
milton Of it's rights as those OF men
who ask only what they are entitled
to.
Labor yields to no class OF people
in this country in loyalty to the best
interests of the government and the
pCOpAC I'LL WAOul ~ Is COllNWCLGu, anu
as it represents so large and so im-
portant an, element in every COM
munity it should never let it's rights
and interests be ignored. When dan
ger threatens the general veal we and
our forces are always at the front,
and when our own rights are assail-
ed, as they are just now, we cannot
but protest, and that is what we are
here for today; but we mean no VIC.
lence and no harshness
We do not, however. intend to be
misunderstood.
At this opportune time labor should
demand of both political parties that
United States judges and United
States senators be elected by the
people, and so be close to the powers
which create them, and always ans.
werable to those powers, and should
Insist that all public servants obey
the behests and look to the interests
OF those who stand behind them.

are taken in charge BY the superin-
tendent OF education. He sees that
they get both mental and industrial
instruction in the government schools,
and also finds homes for them in re-
spectacle families, the government
paying for the child's maintenance. un-
less its service cancels the cost Of
board. If boy is apprenticed, his
earnings are turned over to the min
lister, who deposits them, and in later
the owner.
School children are the special pets
of the government, and whenever they
have a distance to go they are carried
to and from school free Of charge,
which is easy, as the government owns
the railroads. Big, central schools are
established in preference to numerous
small ones, and boys and girls who
live within a twenty-five mile radius
are brought to the schoolhouse and
carried home daily. In summer, spo-
cial trains are put on to take the
country children to the cities, and the
city children for outings in the couu-
try, so that each may learn something
of different kind of life-a policy
that broadens the education Of The
young folks, and adds immensely to
their happiness.
The philanthropy of the New Zea-
land system is further shown in for
bidding children under fourteen to
work In stores, factories, or on farms.
since between the ages of seven and
fourteen the law says they must oe

women allowed to labor in any place
where the occupation is of sort dec-
rimental to their health.

dismay and ran away as rapidly as his
old legs could carry him. He met his

poWDER TRUST AND REFORM.

Mr.. Bryan very properly called at
tention to the fact that the selection of
Mr. Dupont as one of the Republican
campaign managers had a rather queer
look, owing to the fact that the Della
ware man is the head and front of the
powder trust, against which the gov
eminent has a suit pending. But that
isn't all.
Besides the protection afforded the
Dupont powder trust in the danger of
transporting explosives by sea, there
is an average protective duty of So per
cent on gunpowder. On blasting caps
the duty is upward of 100 per cent.
The Philadelphia Record very natural
ly comes to the conclusion that lit is
not strange that the Duponts and their
trust should take a great interest in
the election of Taft. or that Chairman
Hitchcock should have secured their
active aid by making one of them chief
of the Republican oratorical bureau"
II will require a special dispensation
of Providence as well as an extraordi-
nary session of congress to put through
the reform measures in case of the
election of Taft. The cards are not
being stacked that way.
