LABORERS MUST OWN THEIR
TOOLS.

Editor Majority-Looking in every
direction we see nothing but strikes,
lockouts and all kinds of so-called
labor troubles. What is the cause,
of all this tumult? In General Gros-
venor's first capaign biography OF ex-
President Roosevelt, published in the
Compression Record we find the fol-
lowing: while the labor problem
lin a very broad sense is as old as the
.uman race, its modern form is
reation of steam and machinery
which has replaced local production
yith the home for family needs, with
factory production for general mar
ket. In the course of this evolution
the ownership of the tools and other
means of production passed from the
,ctual users to those who understand
he needs of the market and possess
| the ability to assemble materials
who organize the workers and d1sN
pose of the product where it is want
| ed. But the worker lost ownership
al his tools. He, could no longer con-
troll the conditions of employment
md in this struggle to regain such
control and to gain a larger share OF
the joint product of capital ana Ia
Dor that constitutes the modern labor
| problem
Mr.. Roosevelt also said in a speech
he made at Minneapolis in 1901, that
change is coming. Said he: THE
vast individual and corporate for
times create new conditions and me-
cessitate change from the old atti-
tude of the State and nation toward
prosperity"
while the above Is not economical
Nv sound. still it contains some truth,
Mr.. Roosevelt is correct where ne
saws that the worker has lost control
lof the tools for, as Eugene DeDs
said. "The machine leaped from the
brain of the laborer, but he let IT
slim from his hands" Mr.. Roosevelt;
however, is wrong when he asserts
that the capitalists-the legal owners
of the tools-do dispose of the prod
net where it is wanted" They pay
no attention to the wants" OF the
lpeople; it is the profit" they are
after.

If every locomotive engineer would

AertneSs Of the Fee Brigade In Georgia

Although Atlanta and Fulton county
voted heavily in favor of the substitu-
ton of saloons for fees in county Of
fees, yet when a delegate in the re-
cent democratic state convention of Geor-
gia endeavored to put an anti-fee plank
In the state platform he was given not
even an opportunity to present the sub
ject. His proposition was not voted down
because 1t was not allowed to get where
a vote could be taken. The bosses did
not want an anti-fee plank in the state
platform.
This action in Georgia in the teeth of
the Atlanta vote shows how alert the
courthouse rings are whenever the SUBJ
system is ever changed in this state it
will come where the people are shocked
by the inhumanity which it visits on the
weak and friendless. THE fee gatherers
exploit the weak and the friendess, and
as a rule their work stands INFESTED
and unknown.
The weak and the friendless have no
friend at court or out of it, and every
bill of costs assessed against small mis-
demeanists operates to fill the pockets
of the fee brigade. This is the chief
reason why the arrests in this city and
in this county and in all other counties
in this state far outrun what the cause
of law and plain everyday justice de-
mands

figures for that state have not yet been

This loss will be due to the general
loss in rural population in the eastern
states and Vermont has no consider
able cities to counterbalance rural
losses. The homes on the rocky hill
sides are not retaining their popu-
lations and Vermont seems destined to
present decreases in perhaps several
succeeding censuses.

FEWER GEMS WORN

From the Boston Globe.
Mrs. Charles M. Oelrichs has set a new
style at Newport. For years past she
has been. known far and wide as the
most bejeweled woman in the summer
colony, and her valuable gems were at
once the envy and admiration Of all who
laid eyes on them. But this year she has
appeared at all the social events of the
colony without them. AT first 1t occa-
stoned some surprise, for Mrs. Oelrfchs
without her jewels seemed as incongru-
Gus a state of affairs as would charger
without his trappings. But soon society
became accustomed to the change, and,
following a leader, all its members adopt
ed the same style and appeared at the
various house parties unadorned with
glittering gems.
Now the why" of the case is this: In
the last few years social leaders have
been worried over the appearance, or
rather the non-appearance, of mystic
rious society burglar" Jewels have dis
appeared over night. Five years ago Mrs
Ogden Goeiet's summer home was robbed,
and gems valued at nearly quarter
of a million dollars were taken The
following year it was Mrs Oelrich's turn,
when $4,000 worth of necklaces and rings
were carried off.
From time to time since then other
houses have been entered; so when the
aforementioned social leader left her
New York home early this spring all of
her most valued jewels were safely
slowed away in safe deposit vaults; hence
the newest style at Newport.

THE MELODRAMA PERIL

But the melodrama heroine may be
kissed and crumpled to the heros hearts
content And no maidenly hesitation
or bluff.deters the melodrama heroine
from projecting herself in the direction
of the collarbone of the man of her choice
and landing like a battleship going upon
reef. In melodrama the course of true
love may not always run smooth, but
there are a straightforwardness and dy-
mamie force about the demonstrations OF
affection between the hero and heroine
that are primitive and, of course, admir-
able.
But in all things there should be mod
GRAFTON. The rule should apply to love-
making in meodrama. The heroine should
not throw her 100 pounds of curry plump
ness into the air and allow 1t to come
down upon the hero, under the laws Of
love and gravitation, with such force as
to burst the heros blood vessels and put
him into the clammy embraces Of an
untimely grave. 1t should be borne in
mind by buxom heroines that stage heroes
are often elderly men who have not led
the sort of lives that are recommended
for general adoption by the Young Mems
Christian association A sudden strain
may play the deuce with an artery or
some other important part of the anat-
omy.
The melodrama heroine should approach
the hero walkng-or running, il need be,
but not forgetting to put on brakes be-
fore coming into collision with the chest
of her hearts holland never obliquely
through the air from above the stage, or
in the direction of down curve.
The amusement field is rapidly grow
ing. There are hardly enough actors to
fill the theares now built. The sound Of
the hammer Is heard daily in the columns
of the theatrical press where each of the
syndicates is pounding the other for
building more theatres. We cannot afford
to lose our leading men through the SUI
per-strenuous methods of the husky melo-
drama heroine. If the dangers of play
ing opposite them are not reduced with
out coercion the law must take a hand.

THE REVOLVER
From the New York World.


Beginning Saturday noon with the
brutal murder of Paymastcr Fowler
and his driver at Hudson. the week
end" furnished sad succession of re-
volver shootings about New York. In
foolish burglar scare a boy fires
through door and kills a woman. A
man released from prison only Satur-
day is armed and ready by Monday to
kill witness who had testified against
him. A Lewis street boy is shot by
an unknown man who escapes. Two
"duelists" blaze away at each other
among women and children at an Ar
rochar picnic and one is wounded A
lad of II Kills man in a row In
Sands street (Brooklyn) saloon. Two
are killed and several wounded in a
battle that breaks out in sudden, fiend-
ish rage, apparently without serious
cause, in a tenement basement. In all
these cases and a hundred others like
them mischief comes of the fact that,
when rage or panic seizes him. man
unfit to own a deadly weapon, with
no excuse for being armed, carries
nevertheless his gun" In no other
civilized country is the practice per-
mitted. 1t should be put down by con-
slant vigilance and exemplary pun
ishment. Nor is the free sale of dead
ly weapons a whit more reasonable
than the unregulated sale of deadly
poisons.

FASHIONABLE CANES

From the chicago Evening fost
The cult of the cane has excited no.
tice in certain circles. Some women have
tried to appear with the cane, but the
fad has not been general. On the other
hand, a man is not well dressed without
cane. He must carry stick Of some
sort if his toilet has approached de-
gree of masculine style. There are sticks
for all affairs. They may be bus
mess type. or carried to lawn parties. to
evening musivsles, for a walk on Sun
day, and every care is different.
For outings the sturdy stick Of light
or dark wood. cherry, hickory, orange
wood. oak, ash, fir and several other
woods are in good STYLE The silver park
is very attractive. The Congo woods,
wang-hee and Pimento, fragrant Mex
lean wood and curiously perfumed and
shining branches of imported woods are
chosen by the very particular.
Some of the canes are smoothly cut
and polished. Others are knotty and pic
turesque. The handles and heads are
different. Many have a rugged, natural
air; few are finished elegantly with
knobs of ivory, walrus or silver.
The color scheme of cane or umbrella
is important In we'll dressed person. A
stick of gray wood should be carried by
the man who affects gray. One who
cares for rough homespuns should carry
bogwood and for every costume there
should be proper cane.

without a scintila of the biological

same thought when he wondered at the
courage of the man who ate the first
oyster. We wonder no longer now. Our
one concern is about the bivalve supply.
Some 20 years ago the alarm was sent
out that the oyster pirates were rapidly
extinguishing the beds; that famine
might be expected in few years. There
is no doubt whatever that the marauders

claims to have conducted the remark

Professor James was the distin-

James will be able to accustom himself
to his surroundings to the extent that
he will able to give the world a much

Mr.. Aver, Professor James was be-
wildered upon his awakening to the
highest consciousness. and he has not
