ANOTHER AMERICAN AT
THE POLE.

DR.. Cook was none too early in his
return TO civilization. Had he been a
week later, Peary's discovery OF the
pole would have been proclaimed from
tile bousetops and DR.. Cock would have
lad a most diHicUlt task in obtaining
even a hearing to the claim OF being
first in the discovery.
Peary is out OF luck His glorious
achievement is somewhat overshad-
owed by Dr Cooks success. Yet there
is glory enough for both for Or. Cooks

not be forced to invent any

close flaws. but so far Dr. Cook has pre-

AN INDUSTRY BUILT
ON BAUBlES.

Nickels make dimes and dimes make
dollars. Many men have grown rich
on nickelS. Sometimes that which
seems insignificant when multiplied
assumes large proportions. AS an ex.
ample here is the toy industry the
making OF tin soldiers and wooden
blocks which does not impress one az
being very important, yet it is the
principal industry OF the city of Nu-
rcmberg, Germany. A consular re.
port says 10000 people are employed
IN that one German city making toys,
and a third OF the output of the fac.
tories comes to this country. There
are about half dozen factories In Nh.

workmen each, the largest Of which

500 persons. and besides these there
are hundreds of concerns EMPLOYING
from half a dozen to 100 people. II is
not unusual to find factory in which
besides the proprietor and his wife
and children. only two or three extra

Tin toys are mostly cut out by ma.

LABOR DAY is A
REMINDER.

This is Labor Day. day which is
growing in importance as unioQism
each year gains a stronger control
over the destipies of laboring men.
We are reminded by this annual
demonstration of what the laborer has
been and how great has been his ad-
vancement. Prior to the time when
unity OF action was decided upon. the
laboring man was an abjeot creature
whose very existence was constantly
in Jeopardy If his employer was pos
sessed of lnhuman instincts Today
neither the whim nor caprice nor the
mercenary ambition OF any man makes
his employees tremble when men have
linked hands in defense of their lnal
ienable rights and have unionized.
OF course, unionism has had It's
abuses and has inflicted It's tyrannies.
but no one desires to go back 10 the
old conditions of disorganized,
struggling mass OF labor made up OF
cringing servants of brow-beating mas
ters.
We rejoice that this is Labor Dag.
when all laboring men celebrate the
emancipation which has been won b.
organized effort; we rejoice over the
improved conditions which have come
TO the men who are members of un-
ions; over the good which unionism
has disseminated to those without the
organization. and over the stability
which has come to all forms of bus
iness because. of the fixed scale of
wages enforced.
