AWAITING A GREAT CRASH.
Several Hundred Persons Watch for
the Monument to Fall.

Those credu'ous persons who spent
good part of yesterday watching for the
Washington Monument to fall are today
the objects of good deal Of joking on
the part Of those to whom they impaired
their fears or hopes. The Monument
Is still on the job. and. In the opinion
Of expert engineers, will be SO for CEN
turtles to come. They say nothing except
a violent earthquake could cause this
great shaft to tumble.
But the story was started that the
Monument was crumbling and swaying
In the wind. and several hundred persons
yesterday went down to the Monument
grounds to see the final crash After
'rubber-necking' for a long time many
Of the watchers became little dizzy,
and to them the Monument seemed to
sway, first to one side and then to the
other. Some persons were quite positive
that they saw the great obelisk totter,
and they waited until dusk to see the
expected fall
The story that the shaft was falling
Is said to have been started several days
ago by some young men who were struck
by some small pieces of marble that
were blown OF in q st.n wind. Looking
up they thought the Monument was CO.
ing to tumble and hurried away. See
Ing that they had been fooled, they
thought 1t would be a good joke to fool
others with the story

Labor has been so dignified," said
judge De Lacy, for the past score or
more Of years that our great government
has set aside one day In each. year in
It's honor. Labor of the honest and dig
nified sort makes character and thrift,
which. In turn, develops good citizen

the ADORER AND his HIRE |
WORKER AND EMPLOYER
ALIKE SHOULD BE WORTHY.
Dr.. Shipley breaches on the Lesson
and Its Relationship to the
Christian Ideal.

Rev. Richard L. Shipley in the North
Carolina Avenue Methodist Protestant
Church last night dwelt particularly on
the cause Of labor in a sermon on The
Teaching OF Jesus Concerning Wages"
He chose his text from the tenth chap
ter OF Luke: THE laborer is worthy of
his hire
Jesus worked at the carpenters bench
as a mechanic declared the pastor. He
also had great plans for the world which
must employ many men for their fulfill
ment. He was both servant and master,
or. as we say in modern times. employe
and employer. He spoke from the stand
point OF complete human experience as
well as perfect divine wisdom. His teach
ings are more and more receiving social
Interpretation. and men are coming to
see that his principles. accepted and prae-
disputes in our industrial life.
THE text which contains His teaching
concerning wages has hreat principle
which has four modern applications.
First. the slaborer who is enjoyed
should be paid what he Is worth; second,
the laborer who is employed should be
worth what he Is paid: third, the laborer
who is an employer should receive what
he Is worth: fourth, the laborer who is an
employer should be worth what he re-
ceives.
ANY scheme Of piecework or company
store that reduces the real wages of an
employee below what Is fair, or the con-
sideration of labor as commodity to be
controlled only by the law Of supply and
demand and to be bought at the cheapest
possible figure, irrespective OF q man.
need for decent living or the profit OF the
business, is a violation of the principle of
Jesus, that every man Is worthy of his
hire
AN emphasis should be placed on the
pronoun his, and laborer should re-
ceive his own only when he. has earned
It. In modern times, when many salaries
are fixed by the grades of the unions or
the classification of civil service rather
than the earning power of the individual
man. not a few men by Incidence and de-
ceit do not do full days work. Every
laborer should be possessed Of sufficient
moral sense to work steadily at time work
and carefully at piecework, so that as a
laborer he shall be worthy of his hire.
Labor alone cannot make for success
full production. The organizing mind, as
part Of the employer. is necessary for in
dustry. The employer. who generally
works harder and longer. than any other
man in the business, should receive a
just income from his labor and money,
and any philosophy or practice that con-
siders the workman the single factor in
production and alone entitled to reward
is false to the Christian ideal. The en-
ployer being the hardest laborer and haV-
ing his money and more of his thoughts
in the business may justly claim larger
hire than any other man in the same en-
terprise.''

preacher. was opened on Trinity Sum
day, 1901, and the work has since been
continued In the spirit of the words of the
text. If we take Christ as our support
we must be obedient to His teachings.
Every structure requires a good founda-

out by q square which Is not q right an
gle the product of the labor will not be

there is but one Christ. whose law must

DR.. Clayton Condemns depreciation
Of Those Who Win Success.

Rev, James B. Clayton. pastor of the
First Baptist Church, took as the text of
his sermon yesterday. 1.-THE Eleventh
Hour Man." and severely censured those
who have shown petty jealousy or envy
of the great achievement of DR.. Cook and
others.
There is always prejudice against the
eleventh-hour man." said DR.. Clayton,
1.-THE man who comes in an emergency,
accomplishes things that others have
vainly tried to accomplish for years, and
who often seems an undeserving favorite
of fortune. Sometimes that feeling Is
lust and sometimes II is simply the ex-
preston of petty malice, envy. and jeal-
ousy. The achievement OF the Wright
brothers Of DIR. Cook. and OF every other
man who is successful, popular and
famous, after others have tried and failed,
brings into view this common feature of
our everyday life-this prejudice against
the success and the compensation OF the
eleventh-hour men.
