Early Beginnings Humble.
1t was necessary that the early be
ginning of an order of such extraor-
binary learning and piety should be
marked with great spiritual crosses.
And such was the life of the early
order. The members at first were
banded together to care for the sick
and the poor, but the cry of the times
was for teaching others. other orders
having already devoted themselves to
the needs of the distressed The
Jesuits had begun to teach the young
men, and, urged that he allow the
members of his order to become a
teaching body, ST. Frances de Sales,
bishop of, Geneva, consented. And so
began the clustered order, known as
the Visitation.
Gradually the influence of the noble
high souled women spread throughout
Europe, and branch orders were es-
tablished. Young women. feeling the
call TO the religious life, and knowing
the gentle influence of the spiritual
daughters of st. Frances de Sales en-
tered into the cloister, and pupils from
all over Europe became students

the Visitation became an influence in
the lives of men and women, as well
as pupils, Europe over.
But whether poverty involuntarily

BROOKLYNSETEXAMPLE
The Central Labor Union in That City
Begins a Very Wise
Movement.

A few days ago the Central Labor
union Of Brooklyn passed resolution
favoring "the adoption OF a system OF
taxation that will make 1t improbable
to hold unoccrpied." There's one labor
union that sees the way to make con-
ditions better for labor without strikes
of boycotts, Make 1t ''unproftable to
hold unoccupied land" and what's the
result? Building-work for all kinds of
workers at all kinds of trades. IL
not building, then farming, the pro-
duction OF all kinds OF produce. Tax
land SO 1t has to be used and all the
trusts would have to produce more
product. They couldn't keep up prices
by restricting output Let land be free,
and the men who would go to the land
would be so many that the price of
labor would go up, All the labor
unions in the country.-in the world,
In fast-should follow the lead of the
Brooklyn Central Labor union and urge
the taxation OF land values into the
public treasury If they did, the re-
form would come, and then there would
be mighty little or no worry for the
worker about wages or hours. The

world for the last thirty years has been
the inability cf the men in organized
labor to see that the man who gave
them the efficient means to their most
laudable ends was Henry George. They
don't even begin to see this as they
read the great uproar over conserva-
ton of natural resources. But then
smarter people than the union labor
men don't see ii either. And of course
the really smart people-the people
who get the land and the money
