Labor In Slavery and Feudal Times
(By the Rev Charles steIzIe'

fury. There were many forms OF
feudalism, conditioned upon the situ-
alton prevailing in different countries
and upon the character of the baron
to whom the serfs gave tribute. The
[serf rarely paid any rent for the use
Of his bit Of land His service to
the baron III time of war or in other
ways was his ordinary tax. With the
development of the professional mill
tary class and the growth Of city life
through the grouping together of the
artisan and other classes, feudalism
GRADUALLY disappeared. In 1860
England, through Parliament,
abolished land tenures. Scotland
followed in l747. In France the
revolution of17S9 brought the same
result; in Germany and Australia it
was the revolution of 1860 which
accomplished its destruction. In
Russia it was destroyed in 1861.
Meanwhile, great changes had been
wrought, SOL that when the system
was finally abolished, little of the
original condition remained.
During this period religious lead
#ers who were raised up from among
the, people fought against the system.
They testified to. the value Of the in
dividual. They taught that before
God all men were equal. Says Thor
old Rogers, in six Centuries of
Work and Wages: )
,steWyclif's poor priests had honey
pcombed the minds of thenpland folk
with what may. be called religious
Socialism. The preachers told the
people that sit would be- better for
them to die with arms in their hands
than to be thrust back, without an
effort on their part, into the shame
full slavery from which they had been
delivered"

IN some respects, modern slavery
has not been so extensive nor SO hor-
ribIe as that which existed in Greece
and Rome, but the story is neverthe-
less one which stirs the blood. Colo
NAL slavery is a blot upon many a
modern nations history. IN twenty
years during this period in America,
800, 900 negroes were exported to
the United States. From 1850 to
1885 it is estimated that 2,130s000
negroes were imported into all the
British Colonies in America. Natur-
ally great numbers Of slaves died
while in captivity before leaving Afri-
ca and many more died during ocean
passage. Probably only one-half of
those captured survived the various
stages of their transportation to AM
erica. There was the greatest reck-
lessness in their treatment, and the
utmost indifference to their suffering.
Slavery has been abolished in
most countries, but it still exists in
the Mohammedan East, although
usually only in households. While
there is undoubtedly still some traffic
in slaves, it is almost universally
against the laws Of the nations, and
those who engage in it do SO con-
trary to the edicts Of congresses and
parHaments which have been sup
ported by practically all civilized
peoples. In some countries a sys-
tenn of .peonagei is in vogue, which
amounts to 4 practical slavery. But,
ON the whole, the system Of slavery
no longer affects the labor to such E.
degree that the ,workingmen suffer
very materially on account of it. 4 :.
In discussing the question. of the
abolition Of Slavery MI. J. Osborne
Ward says, in Ancient Lowly"::
eve shall submit that the religion
Of Jesus, planted by manual laborer
and forming the basis of hope upon
which stands the great labor move
ment of our time, has been the power
that openly struck the first weli-or-
ganized blow at the system of mas
sers and slaves, and boldly champion
ed it as a principle; and in essence
it has never since shrunk from it's
prodigious task toward realizing the
much contested doctrine Of human
equality"
Following the system of slavery
came that of feudalism. Men had
passed through the hunting and fish
ing period. They began to settle on
the land. They had learned how to
till the soil. They did not own it, but
the s.land lords gave them the use
of the property son condition Of tri-
butte or service. The lord gave them
protection from the common enemy.
This system was developed principal

POlNTTRS OBTAINING
/arYOUNG ATHLETES

Hurdle racing is one of the
prettiest track events. To be a
fast hurlder one must be a good
Splinter, because it requires speed
to make good time, as the distance
is very short.
There is but one correct way to
run a hurdle race, and this is call
ed "bucking." By this is meant
the position an athlete assumes in
going over each hurdle. One leg
is drawn directly up beneath the
body, the foot being held slight
ly toward and behind the opposite
leg
The leg drawn up as you spring
is put out in front of the body
sufficiently high to clear the hur-
die, and it's the foot upon which
you alight.
Always run the distance between
the hurdles with regularity. The
number of strides" should always
be the same. This will teach you
to run at uniform rate, and bring
you to proper distance from each
hurdle prior to "bucking" 1t.
The two faults of most hurdlers
are that they misjudge the dis
lance between the hurdles, which
spells their stride and speed; and
they jump too high in the air
when bucking hurdle, and lose
time. These facts will make a diff
ference of second or two when
corrected.
The 120-yard hurdle race calls
for a higher jump than the 220-
yard race. Z.
First learn buck" me .hur-
die property, then study your
stride until 1t is the proper length.
Then combine this with "buckingv
the hurdle by jumping two, three
or four hurdles. jumping just
high enough to clear each cross-
bar. After three weeks work at
this add two more hurdles to the
number. Pay attention to form.
Also add to this sprinting without
hurdles for go yards four or five
times daily. Continue this during
the second three weeks.
The third three weeks practice
jumping eight hurdles and sprint
80 to 100 yards two or four times
a day.
The last three week should be
devoted to sprinting and jumping

Jim O'Rourke's Own Great Story

Jim O'Rourke tells Tip Wright
about the trip of the players to
England under Arson. He recalls
Cummings, the first curve ball
pitcher. He tells how Ross Barnes
the greatest second baseman the
game ever saw, forced a new third
base foul rule by his wonderful
batting. He tells, stirringly, OF
the days before gloves and masks
were worn, when catchers, hands,
.puffed out of shape. acted as cush-
ions to beaded the pain. He tells
of the first bunt hits, and names
the greatest catcher and greatest
pitchers he ever saw.
Jim O'Rourke's story will be
talked about by the fans for a
long time. Don't miss it. Base
ball literature will be richer for it..
The Times is the only newspaper
in Tacoma which will print it.

KIDNEY BLOWS WHAT FIXED

Nolan is not false prophet is

ncy punches did the work. Nell

all of the hurdles once a day. Two
to five starts a day is enough. If
you fall while hurdling, remember
to get under way as soon as pos
sible, because the accident is liable
to occur to competitor at the next
hurdle.
Excellent time for the 120-yard
hurdle is 16 seconds; good time,
IL seconds; fair time, 1S seconds.
For an athlete under 20, 10 sec
onds is good. All bruises, sprains
and strains should be taken care
of, as they interfere with speed if
neglected.
The 220-yard hurdle race re-
quires more endurance than the
120-yard race, but not so much
ability to jump, because the hur-
dies are a foot lower. The hur-
dies are placed 20 yards apart,
which allows the athlete more
time to recover" after jumping.
Training is similar to that for
the 120-yard. First three weeks
run 900 to 400 yards at half speed,
to avoid stiffness, and jump, q few
hurdles, regulating the length Of
stride so You come to each hHrdle
at distance Just far enough away
to jump without touching it's See
that little effort is made to bring
you to the. proper distance. 60
The second three weeks increase
your speed to three-fourths, and
run 400 yards twice a day. Jump
six hurdles twice, practice start
ing four OF. five times, then sprint
60 yards once.
The third three weeks run 200
yards at seven-eighths speed,
spri3 so yards twice day, and
add three hurdles to those you are
already jumping, making nine in
all. Run this distance twice daily.
The last three weeks run the
full distance. jumping all the
hurdles once each day; sprint 200
yards without the hurdles once.
and practice starting from three
to six times, running 80 yards
with each start.
First-class time for the 220-
yard hurdle race is IAN seconds:
good time is 25M seconds. and
fair time is 26 y seconds.
