A few days later, in the course of busi-
ness. he asked Porter what disposition
he should make of an applications for
loan from a country customer. Porter
rang for the past correspondence with
their client, and threw several letters to
Wheaton for his information. Wheaton
read them and called the stenographer to
dictate the answer which Porter had in
dicated should be made. He held the
clients last letter in his hand, and in
concluding turned it over into the wire
basket which stood on his desk. As it
fell face downwards his eye caught some
figures on the back, and he picked it up
thinking that they might relate to the
letter. The memorandum was in Por
ters large, uneven hand and read:

CHAPTER x

Wheaton had not long been an officer
of the bank before he began to be aware
that there was considerable mystery
about Porter's outside transactions. Por-
ter occasionally perused with much in
terest several small memorandum books
which he kept carefully locked In his
desk. The president often wrote letters
with his own hand and copied them him
self after bank hours, in a private letter
book. Wheaton was naturally curious as
to what these outside interests might be.
1t had piqued him to find that while he
was cashier of the band he was not con-
suited in Its larger transactions; and
that of Porter's personal affairs he knew
nothing.
One afternoon shortly after Porter's re-
turn from the East, Wheaton. who was
waiting for some letters to sign, picked
up bundle of checks from the desk of
one Of the individual bookkeepers. They
were Porters personal checks which had
that day been paid and were now being
charged to his private account. Wheaton
turned them over mechanically; 1t was
not very long since he had been an indi-
vidual bookkeeper himself; he had en-
tered innumerable checks bearing Porter's
name without giving them thought. As
the slips Of paper passed through his 6n-
gers, he accounted for them in one way
or another and put them back on the
desk, face down, as a man always does
who has been trained as bank clerk

FAIR DEALING. !:

:, The teachings OF the trades un
ions does in no manner change hui
man nature. The selfishness o.
man is dominant in all classes o1
people, and education simply has
the tendency of checking its out
ward appearances. Il AS a rule the
most stubborn opponents Of the
labor union are those. who at one
time were members Of the union.
They were Of the radical class who
never lost an opportunity Of fore
ing the issue upon the employer,
be It just or unjust. With them
1T was a matter of power; an an
employer it is still the same idea.
+ Overestimated selfishness Is the
mother Of unjust dealings regardless
of the class from which 1t emanates.
Labor has it's overbearing members
just the same as the employers
have, but such men find their pow
.er waning in the ranks OF both. II

bers in the ranks of both labor and
capital who are going to the front
and who are commanding the re.
Espect Of the people. ssf.=rf. ~ !.
The spirit of fair-dealing and q
getting together on those questions
in dispute between the employer
and his empliyes is fast taking root
with the fair-minded men OF both
classes. The settlement Of dispute.
by arbitration, by an unbiased board
accepted voluntarily is the best in.
dtcation OF progress and industrial
tranquility. =:>.e r. 49, - :.
. The education growing out OF
trades unions and the organizations
Of employers formed for the pur-
pose OF resisting the labor unions
are developing spirit of friendli-
ness in each for the other. Each
is forced to study the other as q
means Of defense. AS they become
educated upon the methods OF their
opponent they can readily point out
to that opponent his shortcomings:
AS the defects OF man are shown
to him: so will he as readily accept
the remedy. " As the remedy Is ap-
piled between those two contestine
forces they are gradually drawn
closer and closer together,-The

y A PERTINENT QUESTION.

During President Gompers' pres
ent tour to the Industrial centers
Of the European countries, the one
question he is asked over and over
again " trade unionists is to ex-
plain why it is that the wage work
ers of America have failed to use
their, voting strength to secure in
Huence y in, or control over, the
powers "ot government.
The European workers have OBJ
served. and discussed the rapid
classification OF American industry,
It's monopolization by a small band
o. big capitalists. They see orr city.
state and national law-making, law
Interpreting and law-enforcing pow
ers in the hands of political parties
that only serve the labor-crushtng
interests.
They see our boycott declared q
crime, our trade union funds made
liable to action, our trade union
officials threatened with prison, and
the trade union itself being gradu-
ally sandbagged into feebleness by
judicial DEGREES.
They see all this and they marvel
at the gulltbility of the workmen OF
the United States in neglecting to
use their overwhelming power to
wrasts from the" hands of their in<
dustrial enemies their present con-
troll and ownership Of the legisla-
lures, executives and courts and to
use them Il tie interest .of their
own class. ..< ~.
Tho ;wo1kingmen.s ..,of England,
France, Germany and other coun-
tries have their working representa-
tives in their chief legislative halls.
yet not one solitary legislator rep
resents the working class of America
at the national capitol, at Wash
ington.
The Intelligence of the American
workingman on most matters is not
questioned. and his ability as q
swift worker is granted, his loyalty,
courage and manhood have been
tested and proved, but when the day
arrives for him to use MIS- ballot he
becomes just a plain idiot.
It Is hoped that the day Is not
far distant when he will see the
folly OF the course he has pursued,
and come to a realizing sense OF the
fact that the ballot is much more
effective weapon than the strike,
and: has none Of the suffering and
sacrifice that accompanies the latter.
