bic homestead, These affairs did not
concern him. But a broader view Is
gradually finding its place Men are
learning that the only real help for
the poor comes through love-" and that
you've got TO do your loving for your
self" The social secretary is a neces-
sity for all large concerns. and the time
is not distant when his advice will be
sought by even smaller concerns. And
this is only an entering wedge for the
fuller recognition of mutual rights and
obligations.
Salary Is Not AL
1t is not enough to- pay men a salary,
TO give them the right to work and ex
pect them TO do the best work while
forcing them to find some nook where
they can eat cold lunch at midday.
1t is not enough to pay a salary that
forces the children to enter the field
of labor at an early period in order
to help support the family. The future
depends upon the children of today; if
we do not give them fair chancc to
develop. the working man or woman of
the future will not be at hand. Love IS
taking the place of force in dealing with
men and every dollar spent in welfare
work will more than repay in renewed
energy, heightened vitality and, above
all, in pure homes, where love reigns
supreme.
The Story of Power.
The attitude Of the past and many
men of the present is we'll expressed in
the words of Haggleton: 'If you want
us to run our railroads and mines and
factories in a certain way, it's up to
you to make us do ii. You've got the
numbers and votes: we've got money
and organization. Well. there you are;
it's a fight of class against class; you
want to get rid of your grievances, we
want to keep our privileges"
1t is the old story Of power-nothing
will be done until forced to do so; no
one has rights unless he has the where
witEal to enforce them. 1t is setting
man against man, class against class,
in order to gain by the resulting quar-
rel. 1t is trantbling on the rights of
individuals for the benefit of a favored
few. instead of doing the right thing
simply because it is right.
Failure to Enjoy Power.
And yet many who have held this
view of the problem. see their mistake.
When they have squeezed from the
masses all that their avarice desires,
they do not enjoy the power that they
were so anxious to obtain. Were they
honest with Us they would say. with
Raggleton. You think I have all I want
because L have money What is it? A
drug that makes us forget what we
haven't got" Yes. a drug that may
make us forget that we have not the
love of our fellowmen. that our own
family circle may be rotten on account
of the dissolute lives of our children.
Yes drug that reminds us at the
same time that that which we might
have had for the asking, had We only
halted CT the way for a few moments,
we cannot now purchase at any price.

Maude Adams has aroused a torrent
of editorial comment all over the cOun-
try by her refusal OF an offer of $780,
600 for the privilege of taking her pro-
ductiOn of Joan OF Arc by a moving
picture firm. Miss Adams refused be-
cause she thought that this was not
in keeping with her artistic tempera-
ment, and because of the love of her
art. The st. Louis Star discussed the
matter for nearly a column and re-
marked:
1T can be safely said that Miss Adams
would do more for the education of the
masses and 10 elevate the sum total
of appreciation OF clean, wholesome
dramatic art by one performance before
the kaleidoscope than by a thousand on
the stage She would reach millions
her production. She would be contrib
uting much OF educational value to the
masses.
There is today no single educating
factor in our daily life equal to the
moving picture. Every child in the
land sees it and drinks il in with eager
intelligence Would it lower the art of
Miss Adams or be other than a glorious
opportunity for her to do good work
beyond the capacity or the possibility of
the great majority to contribute some
thing good to this tremendous educating

THE LABOR QUESTION"

employer and employe can be estab-
lished. When these fail TO understand
their mutual obligations, trouble arises;
when men fan to allow each other the
privileges they demand for themselves,
serious squabbles arise
The laboring man denies the right
of the employers to unite ana yet claims
the right TO form union; the employer
refuses to recognize the right of his
men to organize for self protection and
to demand the largest recompense for
their services. yet he will form trade
agreements and join with others in de-
termining a scale of wages. We have
advanced too far to deny the right TO
organize to either side; these organ
izations need not be antagonistic, but

7CHE grarest problem before the
American people is the labor
Il question. The continued develop
ment of our natural resources and the
fulfilment Of our national mission can
take place only this matter IS al
justed. At the outset let me state that
this problem is the result of education;
it arises only among people who think.
1t does not find place in the economy
OF people of low intellectual status; it
IS not known among men who have no
ideals beyond the present, and whose
ambition for their offspring is not be-
yond their own status. And in discuss
ing the problem this evening we sim
ply desire to place before you some
thoughts suggested by the play, The
Battle"
Our labor question is due to educa-
tion; its solution can be brought about
only by further education. Antfpathy
or i'll feeling is usually the result OF
a lack Of knowledge or only partial
knowledge. When men really know
each other the clouds are soon dis
peeled; all have the same desires. the
same longings, and the same feelings
Human nature is the same in the howell

capital are necessary for the full prog

SYNOPSIS.

The story opens with the introduction
OF John Stephens, adventurer, n Massa-
chusetts man marooned by authorities at
Valparaiso, Chile. Being interested in
mining operations in Bolivia, he was de-
nounced by Chile as an insurrectionist
and as consequence was hiding. At his
hotel his attention was attracted by an
Englishman and young woman.
\ Stephens rescued the young woman from
q drunken officer. He was thanked by
her. Admiral of the Peruvian navy con-
fronted Stephens, told him that war had
and offered him the office of captain. He
desired that that night the Esmeralda, a
