LABOR'S REAL RIGHT.
Worker Entitled to Share Of Wealth
Created by His Toll.

Created BY His Toll.
Rev. Father Doyle Of st. JQseph's
church, Washington, in a recent ser
mon on capital and labor, among other
things, said:
None can sympathize with disorder
and the disorderly lose the sympathy
Of their best friends. That they have
rights no one can deny That they
have the right to use reasonable
means to compel respect for their
rights is in the very nature Of things
They have the right to share in the
wealth Of their employers. They have
the right to combine together and to
agree as to the value Of their serv-
ices. They have the right to exclude
from their organizations those who
viii not submit to their conditions.
They have the right to refuse to work
when treated with injustice, but they
have no right to cause violence and
disorder. They can never have pub
lie sympathy when they do not respect
the rights Of others or the sanctities
Of the law.
Justice demands that they should re-
ceive all to which they are entitled,
but who can look on the scenes Of VIC
lence and bloodshed that have been
enacted in some Of our larger cities
and think the movements We're con
trolled by reason or restricted by jus
ticet
The workman has the right to share
in the wealth of his employer, created
through his labor but he has no right
to destroy that wealth. He has the
right to exclude from his organiza-
ton, but not the right to interfere
with the liberty Of labor When he
takes from his fellow man his freedom
to act he is taking what does not be
long to him; his position becomes one
Of violence, and he is injuring his own
cause. One mans culpability does not
justify another in doing what is wrong
Who can look at the unequal distri-
button Of wealth without believing
that something is wrong in our eco
nomic condition: Those who possess
wealth must not think that they have
done their whole duty when they the
orize on the social condition. Socie-
ties formed to discuss social reforms
meet amid easy and luxurious sur
roundings and listen to essays about
the millions Of fellow beings suffering
privation and want and say if some
changes could be made all misery
would disappear and we should have
only bright smiles and happy looks
But, in spite Of all theorizing, labor IS
fighting its way to higher and better
conditions

SEEING BIG THINGS.
Look at Life Through telescope
Rather Than Microscope.

Rather Than a Microscope.
The microscope has its uses, but
you cannot see the stars through a
microscope You cannot get a broad
view of nature-the rivers. the noun
tains, the green earth; you cannot see
even a single tree-through a micro
scope.
There are men who always look at
life through this little instrument
They seem to have a peculiar delight
in searching for the small things in
life-the petty, the mean things-in
others lives They never have vi
sion They never take into the sweep
of their horizon the really great and
good things. If they were to be
shown beautiful painting they would
search for dyspecks upon the frame
And because their outlook is narrow
they become pessimistic and bitter and
censorious.
Unfortunately the labor movement
is sometimes retarded by these un
happy individuals Occasionally they
are found within the ranks of the
workers They are the ones who are
dead weights to the really earnest men
who are bravely making fight for
better things. But they are also found
outside the labor movement. To them
the labor movement consists of unrea-
sonable strikes and INSCRIPTIONS agi-
tators. They do not see the millions
Of children in the mills and factories
who should be at home and in the
schools and for whom organized labor
is making a strong fight, while the
great mass of even intelligent people
are strangely Indifferent to their strug-
giles. They seem to be ignorant of the
terrible sweatshop, in which thousands
of the toiers are wearing out their
lives in the hopelessness of abject pow
erty and for whom the labor union.
almost single handed. is battling in
what is bound to be winning fight.
Who is doing more for the woman
that tolls: What institution stands
more cOurageOusly for squarer deal
for our sisters and mothers? Not in
a weak. sickly, sentimental way, but
with a vigor and red bloOdedness
that are sometimes startling in their
persistency and effectiveness.
Look through your telescope for a
little while and forget the iyspecks.
Nobody likes them. We can't get rid
of them altogether, but there is some
thing else on the horiZon.-Rev. Charles

STATES RIGHTS IN THE SOUTH

Since the close of the war, in which
the white men of the south fought for
states rights, 45 years have Iassed
away, and a new generation of men,
brought up in very different school
of political economics, is in charge of
affairs. Twenty million white people
in the southern states realize the
mighty political and financial power
Of the national government.
1t dominates all finance and all
business. 1t is able to spend billion
dollars a year, many millions of which
is to the direct benefit of particular
localities and particular interests and
individuals. 1t is able, by laying a
tariff on certain articles of daily con.
sumption, to cut off foreign competi
ton, to pour unlimited wealth into the
laps Of home producers, or by remov-
ing the tariff to place great fortunes in
the reach of merchant importers.
Many of our people believe it can
create out of paper in unlimited guam.
titles money which all prefer to gold.
What is state of the union and
what are its rights in comparison with
the supposed supreme power of the
national government? Everybody
who wants anything that such supreme
power, guided by some sort of political
favor or influence, can give naturally
looks to the national government and
not to the state.
States rights are today scarcely
more than a theory, and if it were
proposed today to eliminate all state
government, and retaining the state
boundaries only as geographical lines,
place all political power in the hands
of the central government, how many
of the southern people would take up
arms to resist the movement.
1t seems not too much to say that
there would be no such resistance. OF
course, it would be requisite that for
every state Office blotted out by such a
change a federal office should be sub.
stituted in its place, with an equal or
greater salary, because the holding of
Office is the chief public interest Of a
neutrality-suspicious. people, butthere
would be no serious objection to the
change, at least in the southern states.

A REAL GOOD TINE.

A man at Coffeyville had no one tt
love him, none to caress, because ht
was fond of the flowing bowl. In the
good old halcyon days at Coffeyvills
there was no great prejudice against
the booze fighter, and a man might
empty his half pint flask in public
and not lose prestige.
But times have changed at Coffey.
vile, as elsewhere, and the man whose
nose is too red, and whose breath sug-
gests last years hens nests aud whose
legs wind around each other when he
walks. is a social outcast.
So this social outcast stood down by
the depot, waiting for the train to come
in. 1t is a rather curious and inter-
esting fact that people who empty
half pint TASKS, day after day, for
several years, finally become possessed
Of an overwhelming desire to see the
trains come in. That is why there
used to be so many empty bottles
around the railway depots in Kansas.
The outcast leaned against a bag
gage truck, and waited and waited for
the train. Ever and anon he drew
flask from his hip pocket and quaffed
some kind aepeuthe for the memories
of Lenore. His mind was so occupied
with memories of Lenore, and with
thoughts of the train that was due.
that he restored his bottle to his pocket
wrong end up, and the precious juice
ran out, and saturated his pants.
Upon making this discovery he was
greatly annoyed as who wouldn't be?
Whisky costs money.
He turned for consolation to his trusty
pipe. He filled it with tobacco. and
then struck q match on the truck. and
Immediately was converted into living
torch. The whisky caught fire, and
burned with q beautiful blue flame. The
outcast resembled a Fourth of July
celebration, and he yelled as though full
OF enthusiasm Bystanders rushed to
the rescue and extinRuished the blaze
after much difficulty and the outcast
Was csrted away to hospital. As he
lies on his bed of pain be is thinking of
half pint TASKS. and the numerous trains
which come and 60. Beware OF mail
