SPIRIT THAT IS NEEDED.

What the world needs today Is
not so much the spirit of condemna-
ton, to crush down and destroy,
but what we need is the spirit of
preservation, to build up, perfect,
and make Arm and true. This is
lesson it wouldn't hurt the Ma.
tional association of manufacturers
to learn. It would save them much
trouble and relieve other people of
annoyance.

SMOKE UNION CIGARS.

There Is absolutely no necessity
for a union man smoking a non
union or scab cigar. The better
grades OF cigars carry the union
label and the union man will not
alone assist his own organization by
smoking fair products, but in the
end his own organization will reap
it's reward.

Labor. Written for National Presby-
terrain Journal.
The labor question is as old as civili-
cation itself. In my Bible study 1
have often thought Of the similarity of
the struggle Of the brickmakers in
Egypt with the efforts of the unions of
today in attempting to secure the in
dustrial freedom of labor. Moses can
be said to have acted in the capacity
of business agent Of the Brickrnakers'
union. With earnestness and diplo-
macy he plead with Pharaoh to grant
greater liberties to the children OF
Israel There was not much differ
ence in human character between the
Pharaoh of old and the commercial
"Pharoah" Of today. The King of
Egypt was long on promises and short
on their fulfillment.
He deceived Moses repeatedly. After
many scourges had been visited upon
his people his answer was to compel
the brickmakers to gather straw; after
they had finished making bricks for
the day. He believed by keeping them
constantly at work there would be
little opportunity for them to COM
rnunicate among themselves.
Not few employers Of labor still
hold to the theory of old King Pha-
roah. When the Anal effort for Free
dom was made by the children of
Israel, they encountered 40 years of
trials and tribulations in the wilder
ness. This experience ought to be a
lesson to the working men Of today.
Every repulse to the advancement Of
labor only serves to prepare it for the
new Canaan which is the goal labor
seeks.
industry in the past 30 years, both cap
ital and labor are undergoing almost
metoric changes. Until such time ais
both may learn to apply themselves
to the new order, the Church Is given
the splendid opportunity of acting as
the great intermediator. It may stand
between the two militant forces to re-
mind each of the duty it not only owes
to society, but of the obligations Of the
one to the other. Were the spirit of
true christianity inculcated in the
minds and hearts Of the leaders of cap
ital and labor, much of the existing
chaos would be averted. Somewhere
in the Industrial field there ought to
be meeting ground between the con-
tentions of capital and claims of la
Dor. The Church can name the place

Hard Legal Battle Promised
Over Will of Former Wife
of N. j. Britain
Case Is Called, but Goes Over
Until Tomorrow, When Real
Struggle viii Begin

REDWOOD CITY, Aug. 1s.-The op-
posing factions were lined up in the
superior court this morning for the
preliminary skirmish in the battle for
the estate of Mrs. j. J. Bullock, wife of
the district attorney of the county.
Mrs. Bullock died a few months ago at
her Beresford home and shortly after
her viii had been filed in the county
clerks office a suit was recorded pro-
testing against the partitioning Of the
estate, fled by the Oldest daughter,
Mrs. Carmelita Kendall.
Mrs. Bullock had three daughters by
N. j. Britain, her first husband. A few
years ago she married Bullock, both
she and the district attorney having
been recently divorced.
In her will Mrs. Bullock cut off her
married daughter without a cent, the
major portion of the estate, which has
an estimated value of $150,000, being
left to her husband.
huence was used in the making of
the Will and also that the instrument
was never properly witnessed and was
not signed by Mrs. Bullock.
Strong legal talent has been secured
by both sides, Mrs. Kendall being rep
resented by Peter f. Dunno, Martin
Stevens and Archer Kincaid, and Bull
lock by D. NJ Delmas, II. c. McPike
and Ross & Ross.
The case, which was called this
morning by Judge Buck, was set over
until Thursday.

opinion the grant OF the lands 10 priv
ate persons by the Legislature some
years ago was void. as the constitution
forbids the deciding by the state OF
water front within two miles OF city,

If this council takes up the East
Oakland issue and includes East Oak
land basin IN a harbor Improvement
scheme. the owners OF that water front
will fight the bond issue with inhu-
ence and with money" said Elliot
That means il would be very doubt
full if the election would carry. for no
man would support an issue by the

some way to move the vehicle, and the
next moment the front wheels were
over the edge of the incline. Not rec

laughingly hauled away at the shafts
until the buggy was beyond their con-
troll. With a cry of fear they dropped
the shafts and fed from the oncoming
wheels.
Little Emma, however. was helpless.
Clinging to the seat, she managed to
keep in the buggy until the shafts
struck into the roadway Then the
vehicle suddenly veered from the
straight course and the year old girl
was hurled through the air.
