A CHALLENGE WITHOUT DEFIANCE

In an editorial, the Century Magazine
(ApriD, speaking OF American trade uni
ions, has this sentence:
There is already among their mem
bers marked restiveness under unfortu-
nate leadership which has failed to dis
countenance violence and has not hesita-
ted to defy the courts, thus alternating
body OF philanthropic public opinion
which has sympathized with all move
nents to improve the conditions of the la
boring man
Perhaps the Century Is editor will con
graduate himself upon the fact that his
article WAS deemed SO reasonable and fair
to labor as to commend itself to the Post
Van Cleave Kirby organ. the American
Industries, and was republished therein
BY the way, it may not be uninterest
ing to say that the - restiveness OF the
members OF organized labor has not man
ifested itself to their disadvantages as
the recent successes of their movements
for higher wages, a shorter workday and
better conditions attest. And how about

months thousands upon thousands have

DIGNITY OF LABOR

All useful work ID honorable. The best
life that in which the powers OF mind
and body are most beneticialiy employed.
An Iudolcnt lie, whether passed IN power
~ or wealth, - degraded lie. No man
can serve God 10y amy other means than
by serving his fel-sw Hell We do not
disparagr the church or Worship OF God,
III public or private places, but he Is the
true-t and most devout worshI per who
goes about the practical duties OF life in
the RICH; spirit, feeling that lie - respon-
sible tor the use he makes OF his time,
talents, strength and opportunities. The
man who, according to his ability, does
the most to promote the welfare OF his
fellow men, be ne scavenger or states
men, bod carrier or preacher OF the Cos
pei, Is ;he best man on earth. The digni-
~ OF labor Is not dependent the sphere
of activities 50 much as nearness OF his
approach 20 his highest possibilities of
usefulness. a good cobbler IS Il more dig
nIfed and honorable worker than tn. man
who, having no capacity for intellectual
pursuits, socrns to toll FOR Il livelihood
and wastes his time and energies in fol

The union men are entitled to their
differences Of opinion upon the methods
employed in advancing the great labor
movement, but personal prejudices
should never be injected into such mat
tiers. Personal prejudice Is detrimental
to unity OF action, and is therefore, II

dearor upon which the workers success
SO much depends. Those who have at
heart the interests of themselves and fel-
lowlaborers should contine their efforts

Are you surprised: Well, dear reader,
not the ieast interesting thing about the
senate Is the fact that it is now exactly
what il was intended TO be.
The constitutional convention that ere
ated the senate intended it to be the rul.
ing power, and 10 ne possession of the
wealthy.
Gouverneur Morris ia the constitution
al convention said:
1.-The senate ought to be composed of
men OF great and established property, of
the aristocracy, to keep down the turbu.
iency OF democracy
And if you will read also the words of
Roger Sherman, of Elbridge Gerry, and
Of Edmund Randolph. of General Pinck.
ney and of Colonel Mason. you will see
that they all agreed that the seu4te should
tie composed of persons of wealth.
Rog"r Sherman went So far TO say:
- The people should have as little 20 10
as mayb about the government.
Elbridge Gerry declared that:
The senate should be so constituted
as to provide a check in favor of the com
mcrcal interests.
And Edmund Randolph announced that
The object of this second branch is
to control the democratic branch Of the
national legislature.
