TOW he did it. DR.. Wilfred Gren-
fell, the Arctic missionary ply
stefan, can hardly tell But he
did and he Is safe home again
now after an experience that would
have ended in the death of ninety-nine
men out Of hundred.
Out in the ice pack. surrounded by a
pack of eight hunger-maddened dogs,
fighting him for their lives as hard
as he was fighting them for his-he
had to face them alone In a tempera-
ture ten degrees below zero. How he
survived is nine days wonder even
up in frozen Labrador, where men bat
tie 365 days year to wrest living
from forbidding nature.
And when he had conquered the
dogs he still had the elements as his
deadlier foe.
DR.. Grenfell leads a strange life.
He has devoted himself and his life
to the Esquimaux and the natives OF
Labrador-deep sea fishers all. He is
their doctor, missionary, friend. A
graduate OF Oxford, he has chosen that
most barren spot in North America
Rs one where he may do some good IN
the world.
His headquarters he makes at Bat
tie Harbor, Labrador. From there, as
a base of supplies, he makes trips OF
hundreds of miles into the frozen
north, carrying his surgical instru-
ments and his medicines along with
his Bible and his great good cheer, to
say nothing of his books and his foot
balls. Until DR.. Grenfell went to
Labrador men and women lived and
died without as much as ever seeing

That night, after the child had been
tucked in his crib, the mother and ia.

and planned for their boys future.
Then she told him Of her afternoon

And as her love for their child and for

and kissed her tenderly, for. they were.

 Editor NeWs-Very few people ever y just w Fszs they ynss sauS s acaf ao if sg s tsd in the correct manner. As an example of what can be done in poor old Washington County" as many people Thomas W. Savage. who lives near what was originally Emerson, in the southwestern portion of our County, and especially of his fine orchard and truck farm.
 Recently your correspondent and "a friend, who knew the way, spent a delightful afternoon with MT. Savage and his excellent wife at his home and if you get any better treatment any drop me card.
 MT. Sawyer was with one of the great Chicago packing houses q think Nelson. Morris & Col, for nearly twen- purchased the "eighty' on which he now resides. replenished the small orchards, and employed a manager un- Washington County with his wife. and Is now one of our citizens. and good one, too.

Peaches are of the ear especially. striking our fancy. He claims only & half crop this year but to q novice 1t looks like a "crop and a half Now. let me tell you, they are day from Citronelle or Dwight.
 Aside from the orchard he has bout four acres of canteloupes. which should net him $500; about four acres of as cleared S250 this season, and 1t was only two years old; also cucumbers and potatoes are in evidence.

moclxfna the People.

Dadeville Courier.
 Cheap politicians and Ignorant peo- pie prateF a great Ideal about Governor ment by injunction Many know not what 1t means, while many of the poll iticians do know 1t is a hurnbug and extreme demogogery.
 Chief Justice Brewer, of the U. s. Supreme Court, says the fight against injunction is a tendency to barbarisnn. Injunction is especially the protection of the weak, and often the only pro- lection. To illustrate. suppose man with a family owned home and few acres of land on which his living de- pended. A person or corporation own ing adjacent lands decides to build a dam that would back water and ruin his home and lot, or they may decide to do some other kind of work that would practically destroy his home. What ts the mans remedy? Shall he let his home be destroyed, hts family driven off and then go to court against q great money concern to get his rights7 Such would be hopeless. But, by the equity of injunction laws, before the person or corporation could ruthlessly destroy the mans home, he could en- join or stop the devastation and then test the case In court. Do away with injunctions and we destroy the hope and protection of the people who most need 1t. The politician we'll knows this, but for fifteen years he has mock ed the people and depended on their stupidity and prejudice for support and of1lce. Congressmen, Governors, coun- ty officers. all stoop to this dishonest method.

LABOR AND CAPITAL.

The expression that "a square deal for capital is a square deal for labor" Is SO absolutely true that 1t might well 60 down as an axiom, and it would be well If it's truth could be generally acc cepted and acted on. Unfortunately this is the age of the demagogues and they can always make some capital for themselves, and all too frequently boost the capitalists and the corpora tions and loudly proclaiming their ten- der and overmastering love for "the common people" and their desire to de- fend the down-trodden masses against the men of predatory wealth" who are always. if we listen to these famboy- ant demogogues, lying in wait for an opportunity to squeeze a little more blood out of the working man.
 It is unfortunate that the laboring men of the country do not see the hy- pocrisy of most of these mouthing ad- vocates. As a general thing they are men who never soil their hands or garments by honest toll of any kind, and whose only exertion consists in working their mouths over time and exertins themselves in going from one place to another seeking new material with which to build up their own for selves an easy time while it lasts. If they would go to work themselves and share the labor of the really honest and industrious toilers there would be more consistency in their advocacy of the poor mans cause. For the most part, however. the sweat of honest toll never moistens their foreheads.
 And there Is another thing that the working man of this county should have better understanding about than they now do, and that is the in- tinats relation between capital and la bor and their mutual dependence upon each other. If 1t were possible for the laboring men of all trades and oceu- pations to supply their own capital at all times 1t might be possible for them to be wholly independent and free from anything even approaching the domi- nation of the fortunate rich, but ob- viously that is wholly impracticable, and labor must in some degree remain dependent on those who have the means to employ it and pay for it. It should also be borne in mind that capi- tai has its degrees. The man who has money enough to start up little shop and employ one or two men to work for him is to that extent a capitalist. He is an employer and may possibly be open to the same criticism. to lesser degree, perhaps. that Is visited on the employer of thousands.
 And there is another fact that the workers should bear in mind at all times and that is that in a conflict be- tween labor and capital the latter is pretty sure to get the best of 1t in the Ieng run. Strikes and lockouts may succeed for a time but in the end those who hold the money will hold the win- ming cards in the great game of human endeavor. We are free to admit that capital Is sometimes soulless, and that

Valuation of Railroads

washington RoSt.
 The Republican convention, very properly, we thing, voted down by an overwh elmlng majority the confiscato- " proposition to have a valuation of the physical properties Of the 230, ,000 miles of American railroads In the nrst place, such a thing Is impossible within the radius of justice, and it would be a torch to the barn groanIng with harvest if attempted.
 A dozen commissions, each composed of the honestest and most capable men for the work in the world, might be set to the work. and there would be hun- dreds, perhaps thousands, of millions discrepancies between the highest and lowest valuations" and all the time the thing was on hand business would be in a state of the greatest agitation and confusion.
 Let us content ourselves in the fact that our railroads are capitalized At a valuation less than any other railroads in the world, and the further fact that freight rates are lower in the United States than in any other country Tn the world.
 It Is not what the Republican plat form omits to say that should give the Democrats pause, but what 1t does say, and that Is this: That the Democratic party Is in favor of government own ership and operation of railroads
 ocrats accept 1t ar come out for that socialism? VIII they ignore 1t by re malning mute under the charger VIII they try to hedge with the vain pro- testation that 1t Is not an issue2 Or win they be Democratic enough to de- nounce government ownership as a thing unthinkable by a real Dem ocrat?
 One of these courses must be pnr- sued, and he that runs can read that the Democratic party must take gov ernment ownership as the paramount unless the Democratic platform shall stlgmatize it as the empty vaporings of a mind filled with Populist wheels.

the holders of the money are not at all times fair or just towards those who work for them. but that is one of the penalties of human existence. It has been going on ever since the Hebrews complained so bitterly of their Egyp- tian taskmasters, and 1t will continue to go on until Utopia comes and all men and women are freed from any kind or degree of bondage or depen- dence on each other. The only thing we can do is to make the best of the conditions as they exist and not make them worse by fomenting strife and hard feelings against those who are more fortunate in worldly affairs than the majority. Let us copy q paragraph from The Kansas City Journal. as fol- lows:
 The enlightened view is that labor and capital are inseparable; their in- terests are interdependent, and what ever affects inJuriously one similarly affects the other. Wage slaves and economic chattels" and such terms so glibiy banded about by wild-eyed agitators are obsolete in these days of iy the cant and catch words of prop aganda which is the worst enemy the cause of the laboring man has today. seisnce ras s a an a aE nss of sSoSsht and S tivity and nowhere more so .han in the industrial world. Labor will have learned its greatest lesson and secured it's 'squarest' deal when 1t learns that justice toward the employer Is the surest way of getting justice for the man who toils-when 1t fully realizes that 1t must work with capital. not against capital
 There is the conclusion of the whole matter: that Justice towards the em- ployer is the surest way of getting justice for the man who tolls" There is an old saying to the effect that If you want equity you must do equity: or, to put 1t into different form, he who goes into court seeking justice must so prepared to do justice. All the right or all the wrong Is not usually on one side. and that is just as true of capital and labor as it is of anything else. If labor does not treat capital justly then labor has no right to com plain if 1t fails to receive that even handed justice which would otherwise be its due. As one who has trodden the hard paths of the working man we say that the laboring classes of this coun- try are making a great and self-ds- stroying mistake when they allow ranting demasogues to foment dis cord and war between labor and capi- tai.
