hShttul modern story, THE Ameri-
can Girl 1t is a true story which
grips the heart strings and enlisls
the SympathieS at once. InternatiOn-
al marriage is the theme, and the au-
thor has handled the subject in a
pleasing manner throughout the en-
tire play. Featured in this charming
play are the TWO Osborn children, the
most talented little people on the
Western stage, and their portrayal of
Prince Ray" and Little Lady" nev-
er fail to elicit the warmest praise.

IT WAS NO ERROR At ALL

Papers throughout the state are
publishing what is evidently an in
spired statement that through all
error the appropriation for the Ne
vada Historical Society was not
passed.
1t was no error. The bill was kill
ed because it carried an eXorbitanl
amount. 1t is evident a foundation
is being attempted upon which To
base a claim of deficiency and to
bring in reIief bill to tie next leg
iSlature.
Claim was made last winter that
the historical society work was being
done without salary to any one, and
the only error" that cropped up was
in allowing it to become known that
the governor refused to sign about
$500 worth OF claims, most OF which
We're salary claims.

ONE DICKENS SET, $35O,OOO

A woman named Mrs. HOX4e OF
Chicago, is being sued for $4,000 she
agreed to pay for some Illuminated
tablets of the constitution and the
declaration of independence. She
agreed to take the 13 tablets instead
of a set of Dickens at the same price
The Dickens set was to have cost
$3.50 volume. Experts say the tab
lets, if marketable at all, are not
worth 10000. Original contract ior
the books was $500 and the MAJ.
who signed it killed himself after
paying $4,000. Mrs. HoXie paid $50
000 and then balked. The game

<rAll men are created equal" such
were the ringing words which Thomas
Jefferson placed at the forefront OF the
Declaration of Independence. But human
society has never accorded the working
class position of equality SOCIALLY
politically nor legally. American law is
the outgrowth OF English common law.
Under the old common law the laborer
was a slave: by a slow process of evolu-

limited and conditional freedom. but the

THE PRosLem THAT coNFRoNTs
U.s.

The problem that confronts the trade
union movement OF our country is, shall
the toiler be tied to the wheel and be
reckoned as mere commercial com
modify. or shall he and she be given
his and her proper place in our civiliza-
ton. in ratio to his and her activity and
productivity for the welfare of the hu-
man family?
To take from a man that which he
produces without commensurate return
is robbery. The worker claims his pro
duet. or its equivalent in compensation,
according to the nature or exchangeable-
ness of said product In short he does
not like to be robbed He does not claim
as his a finished product in the prepara-
tion of which several interests partici-
pated but he demands his proportionate
share of its value.
He stands poor chance in the TWEEN
tieth century of receiving his just share
OF given product when he has TO rely
upon the whims. avarice. or honesty. as
they may apply, of the capitalistic inter
ests making up the balance of the own
ership of the joint product; hence, the
necessity for combination with others of
his kind to re-enact, as it were. con-
structive power, to bring back and pre-
serve to him the individuality he per
force had to surrender in his struggle
with modern commercialism.
The theme o. the corporation or trust
is profit--the sacredness or advance
ment of property rights versus any
organized worker is bread-the uplift
and betterment of mankind versus any
thing incompatible herewith: thus the
economies of the opposing Interests can
Ne summarized as property rights COM
ing before human rights on the one
portance than property on the other
hand. and there you are. Money-Man
Man-Money. Organized labor stands
for man. II dares to protect his inter
ests. Trusts, so-called. stands for money.
They dare to protect profits. Which will
VIM 1t is great question. Pessimists
would almost throw up their hands and
quit. but being enthusiastically inclined. we
have no hesitation in asserting the be-
lief that the power OF money and the
worship of property rights will become
unpopular. and that the rights of man.
his liberty and full earning power will
be gradually accorded him, until through
cooperation and equitable recognition of
all interests to finished product, each
shall receive compensation in accord
ance with the invention. skill or other
activity of the participants in the out
put.
