WHY WAGES ARE
BEING REDUCED
A Very Valuable Lesson Can be
Learned by Union Men as a Re-
suit of Their Inactivity.

The various steel and iron plants
of the country have been reducing
wages recently. Announcement is
made that on or about 18th of this
month the United States Steel
Corporation will reduce wages in
all of its plants.
In other words if the iron and
steel manufacturers have to re-
ducc prices in order to do business
and sell their goods, they propose
that the workingmen shall stand
all the loss.
There is a very valuable lesson
in all this.
The trouble is that when the
boom times were on and wages
were good and there was plenty of
work for every body. the work
lngmen We're induced to desert
their unions Times were flush .
their employers were willing to
pay good wages because of their
enormous profits and the wage
earnerS thought there was no use
belonging to union and paving
dues
But times have changed. Now.

WORKERS
EXPLOITED
BY Greedy Feudal Barons and
Capitalists Who Appropriate the:
Wealth Produced by Toilers.

The watchword of the workers
of the twentieth century is ..Think
for yourselves In order, how
ever, to think intclligently on
social problems you must under
stand human society and it's law
Human society is not as some
people imagine, stationary, but on
the contrary it is evolutionary
that is to say, that society, always
has been, is now, and always will
be, more or less subject to change.
These changes have always been
made along certain definite lines
and in accordance with certain
laws of social order Present dav
civilized society has passed through
four distinct stages of economic
Developments
These stages are: First bar

Third, feudalism or seldom.

just as sure as every one of these
preceding economic stages had
within itself the germs of it's own
dissolution and gradually de-
veloped and made pyssible a new
social order which was to follow.
just so sure will our present pre-
valling economic system give way
to better and higher form of
civilization.
Now, the question arises: What
has been the dominant and and dc
termlned factor in development of
our industrial and social life ?
The answer to this question offers
''key to history,' key that ex
plains the past, present and pre-.
dict the form of the society that is
to be.
The answer is what is known as

factor in determining the general
character of social institutions.
In other words the explanation
of the intellectual and social life
OF any state of society is to be
found III the conditions of ma

In chattel slavery, teudalism
and capitalism the workers who
produce the worlds wealth are
exploited. That is to say that all
the wealth over and above that
which is necessary to feed, clothc
and shelter the worker and his
progcncy. is appropriated by the
masters, teudal barons, and capital

The employers are always organ

The point is that the worllinpmen

KERMIT GETS
A BIG LEOPARD


BY United Press LEASED snecial Wire.
NAIROBI, British East Africa, May
2O-kermit Roosevelt saved the life OF
the chief beater who has been with
MIN on all OF his hunts since the ar
rival of Colonel Roosevelt and his
party In Africa, and incidentally added
to the trophies of the chase, an ex-
cellent specimen Of the African leopard
while hunting on the Mcmillan ranch
yesterday. The leopard, which had
been sighted several times by the
hunter in the course Of the day, but
always too far away TO warrant a
shot, was finally stirred out of a clump
of bushes by the beaters, as dusk was
coming on.
The party had aroused it unexpected
ly and as II sprang there was a scat
tering of the natives. The leader was
too slow. however, and the beast struck
him full on the back, knocking HIM
down and clawing him severely.
ekrmit, who was on horseback, heard
the cries and, coming up at full speed.
jumped from his mount and tried for q
shot to save the native. Afraid OF
killing the man on the ground, he
fired a shot high and the leopard at
once attacked him. It sprang at the
young hunter. but he held his ground,
and as il raised in the air sent a bull
let crashing through its head. It drop
ped dead within a few yards of the
hunter. Outside of a few scratches
the native that had been knocked down
by the animal was unhurt and mis-
wounds were dressed when the party
returned to camp.
Colonel Roosevelt has added a python
to his list of trophies. having killed
one near the camp. IL is reported by
the natives who have arrived here from
theh uniting ground that he had a mar
row escape Sunday when he killed his
first rhinoceros. His initial shot only
wounded the animal without in any
way disabling it and 1t charged dowr
upon him wild with rage. He stood
still In his tracks, however, and tool

his heavy rife into vital spot.
He is highly delighted with his ex
periences up to the present time. ant

RETIRING JUDGES.

r OUR of the present judges of Delaware will
h soon retire They will carry with them
the best wishes Of the people whom they have
faithfully served. The state is indebted to them
and not they to the state. 1t has been favored
bench. Every attorney appointed by Governor
Tunnel has lived till the end of his term. The
bench has not suffered vacancy through death.
Providence has smiled upon the judges. That
those who are about to retire will have many
years of health and usefulness, is the wish of
THE JOURNAL.
Delaware is always proud Of her judiciary We
have set high standard. 1t was maintained by
the retiring Judges. 1t will be maintained, we
believe by the new ones The outgoing judges
have served the state at a pecuniary sacrifice.
Any one of them could have earned more money
in his private practice than the state saw fit TO
pay him. But these judges regarded their places
as those of high honor. They sought not merely
the reward of dollars, but they considered their
offices as those calling for patriotic effort To
some lawyers the bench naturally is not attrac-
tive A judge is supposed to be upright and cir
cumspect. In way he is removed from the ac-
tive affairs of life. He is supposed to be guarded
in his expressions on matters of every day con-
Germ. In word here in Delaware il seems to
be required that a Judge shall walk in straight
and narrow path. That is tradition that the
retiring Judges have followed to the letter.
The four judges will retire with the conscious
ness of having performed their duties well, with
the respect and esteem of those with whom they
have been brought in contact and with the good
will OF the entire people of Delaware. They have
made a good record.
