llbelous articles in which caused the
editor to be sent to jail for fifteen
days, DR.. George w. Mcdaniel, of the,

altogether, not only for the good order
of the city. but as we'll for the inter-

suffered much agony of mind as the
result of the mans troubles and unfor-
tunate position.

and he told me that he would not pub

urged upon him that the welfare OF

MIR. Yoder was told that many good
people thought he should issue state
ment disclaiming the motives and NAL
ice which actuated Mr. Atkinson, and
frankly acknowledge the mistake which
he made in forming any alliance what
ever with Nh. Atkinson.
I'm this opinion share, aIti further
more believe that he Is so crippled be-
cause of his unfortunate and qucs
tionable alliance that he cannot pro-
mote the best interests OF the COM

FINDING A WAY OUT.

What we need is clear-brained and
warm-hearted men who will direct this
labor movement unselfishly. Some of
those who are outside the trades
union could help us, but they are so
interested in statistics. that they
haven't quite gotten bold OF the big
human side of the question. The
beautiful schemes that look SO well
in books and magazines, and that
sound so fine when they are present
ed from the lecture platform, go al
to pieces when applied To flesh and
blood men, because they leave out al
together the element of human ma
ture.
It's all well enough to tell us what
we ought to do during time of strike
and when we are getting ready to
strike. It's mighty easy proposition
and against, and subject the whole
thing to the test of an elegant system
OF ethics. But this labor business is
no Sunday school picnic. neither is it
matter that can be settled right off
the bat. There are too many compli-
cations, too many things that don't
appear on the surface, and that it's
hard to put into so many words, so
that the outsider will understand. We
need some folks who can expain these
matters better than we can do it our
selves, and since it's hard to do this
unless you've been in the game, we
aren't making the progress that we
might. It's one thing to make study
of the worlsingman's problems from
above, even with sympathy and sin-
cerity of purpose. A man may even
tramp it, or go into the shop or live
in tenement, but he does it knowing
that at any moment he may leave it
If he wants to do SO. Anyway, he
misses a good deal of the joy and hap
piness of working people, because of
their appreciation of many things that
come to them, and which pleasure
your students knows nothing at all
about But, oh, the hopelessness that
comes SO often-too often, for most of
us. I'd give good deal if I could
forget some Of the things that I've
passed through. Perhaps I ought to
be glad of the experience, because it
will help me understand some other
fellow who is passing through the
same trials, and that's worth some
thing.
Lots of good people get impatient
with us because we don't seem to ap-
preciate what they are doing for u.s.
To be perfectly honest, we'd rather do
these things for ourselves, in just the
way that we think best 1t may not
be the best way, but it's our way, and
| there's a good deal in that. Well ap-
preciate having them show us how
the things may be done, but we want
hand in the doing Of them. Well
| work with these folks and Well be
glad to have them work with us, but
| the whole thing must be on the level,
