"~ud us an organizer is the cry con
FINALLY coming to the A. f. OF /. from
affiliated organizations in different
lau. of the country. The parent body
is always at it, wits end to grant the
organizers asked for with the small
amcdnt of money obtainable for that
purpose. And how few unions realize
THAT they could do their own organizing

the gospel of organization among his

did the men who formed the various
organizations cry for organizers? Well,
not exactly. They were all on fire with
the great cause of labor and they went
out among the members of their craft
and impaired to them their zeal and
enthusiasm so that the movement grew
OF its own voition. 1t is an old-fash
toned revival of unionism in our own
ranks that is needed at the present time.
In the early years of the Christian re-
ligion its disciples used to meet behind
closed doors for prayer and consulta-
tion. When their religious enthusiasm
had been worked up to a high pitch
they went ont among men and preached
their beliefs with a zeal and conviction
that drew hearers to the faith as with
a magnet There is too much inertia in
the labor movement. Too much left to
the officers and organizers that should
be done by the rank and file. Not that
we have any objection to organizers.
They are Il very necessary adjunct to
the labor movement. But we have no
ticed a great deal of the time of an
organizer tken up in adjusting some
grievance or internal trouble that should
be settled by the locals themselves, and
this is time taken away needlessly from
bona fide organization work. And if
every union man would make of him
self an organizer there would be organ
lzers enough.

the Idea of the navigation of the great
lakes by ocean-soing vessels has always
been d most attractive one, and for over
a century il has found many enthus iastlc
advocatcs both In Canada and i'll the
United States. 1t was the basis OF Col.

OF the International deep waterways
commits sion" OF 1896 and the underlying
principle OF the early designs for the
Georgian Bay canal In more recent pro-
poSals. however. 1t has been recognized
mat the conditions of navigation upon the
ocean are so different from those which
OBTAIN on the great lakes that the same
type o! vessel cannot he economically
used IN both services. The purpose of
the Georgian Bay ship canal as now pro-
1ected Is 20 bring the lake carrier to 4
point where she can transship directly
iHto the ocean liner. AS result OF steady
agitation complete survey for such a
project was authorized by the Canadian
government In 1904 and an interim report
on the survey was laid before the houses
OF parliament In July OF last year 1t is
probable that the final report. giving in

THE ETRUSCAN DISCOVERY"
Key to Inscription Found by Uni
versity Professor.

tIpn tht We" 10TH sun.
If Prof. Hempl of Stanford University
has found new key to the E.truscan in
scriptions whereby he can prove close
relationship between the Etruscan and
Latin languages, and further that the
EtruScauS were akin to peoples of Asia
Minor, he has succeeded In establishing
two very probable suppositions which
have often been assumed on general
grounds, but which for particular philo-
logical reasons the best authorities have
hitherto felt obliged TO pass over.
1t is unquestioned that both the Etrus-
cans and the Romans were mixed ma
tons and that both had some common
elements. Rome was under EtruScan
sway in early days. and afterward the
Etruscan cities were Romanized. Many
of the great historical families of Rome
were of t.truscan blood and while Rome.
of course, had many traditions Of an in
fusion from Asia Minor Gerodotus and
most ancient writer's declared that the
EtruscanS came from Lydia. Indeed, the
whole story would be a foregone conclu-
sion were it not for the remnants OF the
Etruscan language preserved In few
thousand brief inscriptions mostly or
mortuary intention. These are largely
many of which differ but in spelling from
Latin names. outside of these. how
ever. are two or three hundred common
words-verbs, nouns. etc, which AS hith-
be utterly alien from Latiu. Corssen, q
pathological authority before 1850, as
sumed Latin affinities in them, but he has
been completely denied by his competent
successors. These have tried to connect
Etruscau with Semitic, Gothic, Basque.
Armenian and other remote tongues; or
they have declared 1t to be unique-or.
for the last twenty years have sat on
the fence" saying that the material at
hand is inadequate to demonstrate its ar
tiuities. I.atterly no one worth mention
ing has called 1t Aryan.
In spite of these doubts the meaning of
the inscriptionS-of most of them at any
rate-has been generally taken for grant
ed Such simple records indeed leave
small room for variety of Interpretation,
and. OF course. cipher may be wormed
out without its cipheral aftinities being
ascertained. Prof Iempl. with his new
key. has only deciphered fifty inscriptions
as yet, 1t appears; but we can hardly
suppose that, so far as the sense goes. he
will depart much from previous interpre-
tations. On the other hand, IL is quite
certain that he must letter the words
differently in order to establish the re-
lationship with Latin.
That his proofs, supposing them to eX-
list, will have very revolutionary effect
on the general conspectus OF history we
are inclined TO doubt. They should how
ever. make Ii easier to accept opinions
long since promulgated.
