that Labor Day of this year was one of
the most uniformly successful in the an
mails of the labor movement in this coun-
try. Enthusiasm ran high, while the

A noted heavyweight pugilist, who
for a time In the heyday Of his fame
occupied the chair of sporting editor
Of a certain journal, gloomily remarked
to friend one day:

advised the friend. "A job like yours
isn't picked up every day. To make 1t
easier for you would suggest your
getting an amanuensis."
"Oh, thunder! What's the use" ex-
claimed the great editor wearily. 1--WE

A general election IS probable. The
party In power IS to be driven out
by the more advanced apostles OF

While serving as commandant of
district in India General Creagh had
on one occasion presented the prizes
at the garrison sports and was rather
surprised when one Of the prize win

be allowed to change his prize for

general. In reply the man produced n

Creagh. What do you want to change

commanding officer determined to retlt

telegraphed to a Calcutta firm:

ODD GIFT FOR CANNON.

Speaker Of Tho House Received Stick
Of lieories From New Yorksn
One Of the most curious gifts that
have ever been received by Speaker
Cannon came to him recently from A.

small stick Of licorice inclosed in a
common envelope without a word Of
comment, says Washington dispatch.
The package lay in the New York post
office for ten days because Of INSULT
Gent postage. 1t was finally forward
ed by Postmaster Morgan and opened
by L. Whyte Busbey, the speakers
secretary.
The round tube Of licorice was exam.

the speaker in order that its identity
might be fully determined.

LOVE OF MONEY AND POWER.
Two Traits That Are Distinctly Amer

Are az Nothing.

It would hardly be thought neces-

men about to leave college to 'honor
money, honor money-getting and
honor power" yet such was the strong

Dartmouth. If there Is anything ON
earth or under the earth that on-com-

urged upon them. 1t is love of money
and love of power.
This may be said without indorsing
In any respect the malicious. and,
for the greater part. insincere at
tacks upon wealth so often made by
demagogues and hypocrites. The pas
sion for money and the obsession of
money-getting have become altogeth-
er too conspicuous as American traits.
They bring little content to those who
are thus afflicted, and they awaken re.
sentiment in the breasts of millions.
In spite of new teachings and prac.
tees. knowledge still is power. Sup.
plemented by wealth, knowledge be
comes power triumphant. Without
wisdom the power Of money is law.

possessor and an evil example to the
