LABOR DAY

T ABOR DAY will be celebrated
under happy and peaceful au-
- spices. The country is not dis
tracted by labor troubles. There is
social peace. There is political peace.
It may only be lull. because nothing
is more certain than the fact some
of the greatest questions affecting the
future welfare of our country are un-
settled. and they must be settled,
sooner or later.
Organized and orderly labor is at the
foundation of the prosperity of the
United States No other country en-
joys such a vast supply Of human skill,
ingenuity and strength, so well direct
ed. Since the various energies of labor.
organized for the purpose of being
used to the best advantage, produce
the prosperity of the United States, 1t
is only fair that workingmen should
be allowed to organize in a manner
which will advance their own pros
perity without interfering with the
rights of their neighbors.
In an ideal state of society the man
who works for wages would always be
rewarded according to mis- worth.
Under present conditions a non-organ-
ization man doing work that requires
far more skill, training and experience
than the work of an organization man,
will and does receive far less for his
work, for his skill, for his experience,
for his time, for his life, than does a
less skillful organization man. 1t must
be true in such case too much respon-
sibility is thrown on the employer who
pays the low wage to the skilled man
in the responsible position and the bet
ter wage to the organization man in
the less responsible position simply be-
cause he HAS to pay organized labor
its price.
If We may judge by the actions of
employers, if the wishes of some of
them were carried into effect, and or
ganization were done away with, wages
also would be done away with, or re-
duced to sums much smaller than the
real worth of the services rendered.
Labor day is an excellent institution.
The Importance of the worker to the
United States cannot be overestimated.
and the spirit of organization repre-
sented by Labor day keeps the worker
from being worked

COWARDICE
&C N important roll call was on--if |
"a the writer remembers correctly

kk A N important roll call was on-if
"a the writer remembers correctly
- it was on Burnett's motion to
continue the investigation into the
causes of the increase of freight and
express rates. Price was present, but
did not answer to the call of his name.
The advocates of the resolution in
sisted that all vote, and demanded a
call of the senate. The doors were
ordered closed, at which order Price
made run for the door.
"Caminetti saw the move, understood
it, and started to intercept the fleeing
senator. But if Caminetti were quick
Price was quicker Caminetti missed
his grab at Price and so chased that
gentleman to the door of the senate
chamber. The assistant sergeant at
arms at the door was just swinging it
closed as Price shot through. The de-
termined Caminetti made a last grab
at Prices coat tails but too late. The
massive doors banged closed with Price,
coat tails and ALL on the outside and
the baked Caminetti on the inside.
Price didn't vote on that roll call"
This is not the description of a flight
from justice by a terrified criminal.
1t is merely the description of a flight
from the performance of his duty by
a man who was sent to the legislature
to do his duty. Why did he fee? Such
conduct would be more consistent with
a madhouse than a legislature, If it
were not for the machine. 1t is merely
an instance of the conduct of repre-
sentatives of the people who knew full
well what their duty was, but were
AFRAID TO VOTE AGAINST THE
MACHINE.
So, rather than go on record as hav-
ing obeyed the voice of conscience, they
didn't vote at all. They ran away.

ROCKY BENEVOLENCE

+" HATS a remarkable story about
Rockefeller's old gardener 1t is
Il filled with pathos and human in
terest. His name is John Hooters, and
he is French by blood. Last Saturday,
we are told, he became ill while he was
hard at work. His hands began to
tremble so that he could hardly hold
the pruning shears, and finally he col
lapsed. Doubtless his sudden illness
was intensified to agony by the thought
he would have to take to his bed and
would be unable to toll for wages.
But while he was fretting a message
of cheer was brought to him from dear,
good, kind John D. Rockefeller That
grand old man told his gardener not
to worry, that his pay would be con-
tinued as long as he lived. We hate to
detract from the impression produced
by this startling beneyolence on the
part of the man who next to the late
sultan Of Turkey, is the most execrated
human being on earth. However, can
dor compels us to say the Rockefeller
gardener thus kindly dealt with by the
oil boss is 78 years old and has been
in the employment of Rockefeller for
twenty-eight years. Why did Rookie
Teller walt until this faithful servant
was nearly dead before retiring him on
a pension? Think of the thoughtless
cruelty Of compelling man of almost
four score to work for wages after
nearly three decades of service!
Why didn't Rockefeller pension him
eight years ago, when he was only 70
years old, and might have enjoyed a
few years vacation? And all the while
this old man was being worked almost
to death, some younger man. perhaps
with wife and family to support, was
being kept out of a job!

DR.. Cook says: 81 have been to the
north pole, and I have brought back

some skeptics so hard of belief, so
utterly unreasonable, that if DIR. Cook

and had exhibited the plaguy thing at
all his lectures they would still have
had their doubts.

the fashionable are shocked. save her

WELCOMED AGAIN
The Regeneration of Aunt
Mary" Holds Old Laugh
Producing Power.

May Robson and a capable supporting
company returned last night 10 the Co
lumhia in THE Regeneration Of Aunt
Mary" a comedy by Anne Warner, now
in its third season. The star was en-
Enthusiastically received.
The story of Aunt Mays rejuvena-
ton is delightfully."- told. There IS
scarcely a dull moment from the time
that Miss Robson makes her first ap-
pearance as the rather prim. scolding
but nevertheless tender-hearted country
spinster until the curtain desCends on
Aunt Mary" as a good fellow in sym
pathy with city life, her adventuresome
nephew, and his chums The humor
throughout as those who have VIII
messed the play through Successive sea-
sons can testify, is infectious. the sit
uations original, and the portrayal OF
human nature genuine.
Miss Robson is all that could be de-
sired I'm a part that has made her
stage favorite- Her delineation OF the
qualities one would expect TO find IN
al aunt wrapped Up in a troublesome,
money-spending nephew with his college
Scrapes; the evolutions through which
she passes in order to see things from
his viewpoint, and her pleasing per
sOnality. cause the audience to leave
the playhouse wholly in sympathy with
the rejuvenation and its accompany
ing philosophy.
Jack Storey, VINO assumes the role
of the rOlliCking nephew, Jack Den
ham, and who has a love affair,
breach of promise suit, and numerous
college scrapes to untangle, does some
clever acting and, incidentally, some
good singing. Nina Saville. who as
sumed the duties of the much-abused
Lucinda, is near perfect in a different
character part and the work of Faye

end OF Jacks love affair." acquits herself

praise sufficient. AS expressed by the
man in the third row back, Grace
Morse. known as the "g.rl s9oIa Kala-
mazOo," with a breach OF promise suit,
IS a "stunner." The minor pats are
acceptably handled.
Aunt Mary's reiuvenation is coed for
nearly three hours of solid laughter and
accomplishes its object Of being clean,
wholesome. refreshing comedy.

ners. have adhered closely to the main
lime story. They have shaped their ma
/ teriaIs to excellent dramatic form. They
have given their characters lines that
are not only clever but of positive lit
erarv value. More difficult than all
that. they have presented a sermon
Wi hout preaching. they have drawn
| lesson without seeming to teach- ana
they sent a large audience from the
| National Theater last evening thinking
and glad that they were made to THINK.
This opinion Of one person was best
justified by an audience that gave the

and prolonged applause than has Ialleh
