Some Funeral Folly

rTl0Ay, IOF Two uOur3 the vast aCtIvltl0H Oh
the Standard Oil company came to a stop, dur
ing the funeral services over the $50. 900
vice, president OF that corporation About 66.-
900 workmen were idle from 10 a. m. till IL,
in order, we are told, that they might mediate
on Mr.. Rogers career and evince their respect
for the dead
OF course. those two hours of vacation will
not hurt that army of workmen, but what
tremendous piece of folly this funeral scheme
isl Men don't win respect by dying, but by their
acts when living. In his half century of man
Rogers never once said: "Tm feeling good.
I'm worth $50.000,000. I'm making 40 per
cent profit. Men. take two hours rest me-"
No, he got all he could out of them-full
eight or more hours day.
Now Rogers is dead, and can feel no sac
rifice in a gift no joy in generous, humane
act, and his corporation expects $4,000 men to
feel respect for him over an act that he wouldn't
perform while living. Probably fully $4,000 OF
those men felt more like celebrating than respect
ing during those two hours.
We not speaking i'll of the dead In the
foregoing, but merely reflecting on senseless,
futile effort to create false sentiment. Think of
it! The $4,000 got nothing from Rogers save
by the hardest sort OF labor until he was dead.
The act of the corporation in granting these two
hours rest calls attention. pontedy, to this fact.
Is the matter one to arouse respect or to arouse
satisfaction over the fact that Rogers is dead?
And they want the $1,000 to spend some
part of these two hours in meditation upon Mr..
Rogers career! Worth $50,000,000 or more,
Mr.. Rogers killed himself by overwork and
overworry. Let's all mediate over It.
Evidently Mr.. Rogers was very foolish or.
very greedy. He was old, enormously rich and
didn't have to work. 1T will take less than two
hours Of meditation on the part Of the most
stupid among that $4,000 to arrive at the con-
cluson that 40 wise and not inordinately greedy
man would have knocked off work" years ago.
This, too, is written without intent to speak

Who Are Great?

Who are, then, the truly great;
What bounds can circle fame,
And what does fame create;
Are pomp and power the same?
Do only those whose names are
read
Aloud, and sounding high,
Lift up a nations dropping head
To see hopes star on high?
Do only those who win renown
BY some uncommon feat,
Build stone on stone and round by
round,
States fortress all complete?
Do only those of noble birth
Or smiled upon by fame,
Keep vestal fires upon the
hearth
Preserve a nations name?
Two million soldiers hearts beat
high,
One half million lives were
given
To silence slavery's wailing cry,
And buy back mans own
freedom.
IL was the private IN the f1gnt,
That aided Grant to scale the
height
And foil dissension's sway.
You or / may never sight
An undiscovered world,
Or stand upon its mountain height
Our banners there unfurled;
But may we not fill up the ranks
In life's fierce fight today,
Help elevate the world we have
In truth and charity7
Mankind might live without the
men
Who tread the lofty spheres
OF thought and great accomplish
ment,
Nor shed so many tears
When they are gone, but would 1t
not be
! Poor indeed to give up all those
Who tread. perchance. the beaten
paths
And share the woes?

Men come to my Office every
few days from Eastern cities who
are eager to locate here and be
come citizens of Tacoma, but. as
soon as they learn of conditions
prevailing here, by reason of the
activities of the Builders Elk
change, they leave at once for
other cities on this coast where
they do. not have to surrender
their union card, which projects
their family in sickness and death
and enables him to have shorter
hours and higher wages.
All good people will agree that
it is wrong to advertise fer car
penters and other mechanics to
flock to Tacoma, when there are
plenty of carpenters here.
Many first-class mechanics have
been compelled to go out of Ia
coma to get work under fair con-
ditions, and If Mr.. Cornell and his
associates will grant the same con-
ditions that prevail in other cities
1 guarantee they will have more
skilled men available than they
can employ
1t is unfortunate for Tacoma
that such conditions prevail. That
such selfish and unfair organiza-
lions as the Builders Exchange re-
tard the growth Of the city, and
every business man is directly i'm
jured thereby, is evidenced by
bank clearances of cities in the
Northwest. For example. Spo-
kane is always close up to Seattle.

that the wages in all trades In

Those contractors who are still
against union labor
were quoted as boasting two years
ago, when they started the trou-
BILE, that in six months there would
not be a union in Tacoma. One
making such an assertion had but
a slight conception of the spirit
of modern industry. Those who
planned the nefarious scheme have
