=. The Disease Of IdIeness -.
IS : 60 :.

i Rockefeller, Morgan, Carnegie, Van
derbilt, Gould and many others may
be mentioned. The trouble is that Mr..
Wernicke has only stated half Of the
truth. Because these men can obtain
SO much with so little effort, other
men can only obtain little with
much effort. Because these men are
able to reap where they have sown,
millions of other men must sow with
out reaping.
What worries Mr.. Wernicke most of
all is the effort of labor organizations
| to better the conditions of their mem
bers. He expresses his indignation in
| the following unfair manner: Thou
sands of free men, honest citizens who
have done no wrong and who desire to
do honest work, men Wo pay taxes
and obey the law, are held in slavery
ARE forced into involuntary idleness
| by open threats, intimidation and CO.
ercion which does not stop even at
murder"
It is unfortunately true that thou
sands Of men are being kept in invol-
untary idleness. but it Is not true that
the labor organizations are to blame.
Labor organizations would not exist
IL every man who wanted to work
could find an opportunity for doing so.
Men willing to work are being kept
in Involuntary idleness because valu-
able natural resources are withheld
from use. An illustration of this was
recently given to the press by Mr..
Joseph Fels: Il own an eleven-acre
tract Of land In West Philadelphia, !"
said Mr.. Fels. Il paid $4,000 for it
some years ago. recently refused an
0fEer Of 100000 u believe that it is
worth more than that now and will
still further increase IN value. Now,
why did the party whose $4,000 offer
/ refused want to give me that money?
Because he was so anxious to employ
builders to put up houses on that land,
that he preferred that privilege to hay-
!, ing that sum in bank. Why did re-
| fuse II? Because am sure that in a
short time some one win be even more
anxious than that to build and will Of
fer me more. Then, perhaps, will
graciOusly step aside and let the build
ing proceed. While / am engaged In
obstructing industry in this way, thou
sands of other land owners in Phila-
delphia and elsewhere are doing the
same thing. While we are doing this
men are walking tie streets looking
In vain for work who might, be en-
ployed in building on this land or In
producing building material OF max
ing building tools or producing Npod,
clothing, fuel and other things for the
builders to use.
Here we have very clear example
given Of how honest citizens who
have done no wrong and who desire
to do honest work are forced into in
voluntary idleness." not by threats, in
limitation or coercion, but through
the operation Of statute laws Eat give
to some men contrel If the 6ppoftuni-
ties Tor all men 60 make their living.
Because we have such laws there Is an
Involuntary unemployed class. Be
cause there is en- unemployed class It
becomes necessary for men to form
labor Organizations lest the unemploy
ed succeed IN undertaking those 81
work.

under the above caption In the Sep
TENDER number Of the Macy Monthly
Of Grand Rapids. 4 periodical devoted
to the interests Of his line Of business.
The idleness concerning which Mr..
Wernicke complains is not the idle
ness OF the leisure class. That some
are enabled to live without working
on OF the labor Of those who do. Is q
matter that does not seem evil to him.
On the contrary he loudly laments the
present tendency to ind fault with e
system which permits such c0ndi.
ton. He expresses his opinion Of
those who wish to assure every man
the enjoyment Of all he earns in no
Ambiguous language and this opinion
is far from being complimentary. IN
fact uncomplimentary personal re-
marks, misrepresentation and some
half truths comprise about his whole
article. The billingsgate needs no at
tention. It would be easy to reply in
kind. but it is only the wrong side Of q
case that need resort to such argl-
ment. The misrepresentation need
little more attention, but It Is possible
that Mr.. Wernicke does mot know that
they are Misrepresentation. Thus he
says: sThe man with one horse Is
made to envy the man who has two
horses" That Is frequent style OF
MISREPRESENTATION with defenders OF
existing iniquities. It is unnecessary
to deny that envy has anything TO do
with the question. II the demands OF
those who wish To change conditions
are Just 1t Is immaterial whether envy
Is motive or not. As q matter OF
fact. such charge would not be made
II the man with two horses did not
have b guilty conscience. That ex-
plains why remarks about wealth I'M
Justly obtained makes him think Of his
horses and wonder Whther his right
70 own what he has WIN be challenged.
No one wants to deprive 9 man who
has honestly earned two horses OF the
undisputed possession Of them whether
any one else owns any horses at all
or not. That Is. no one but those who
want to uphold existing conditions.
They want to keep things 30 that 3
few who produce no wealth viii be
able to own most Of the horses and
everything else Of value.
Says Mr.. Wernicke: There never

could obtain so much Of lies needs,

That Is true. Let any one who
doubts It ask some one like Mr.. John

THE LIVING DEAD.
(By Herbert Kaufman.)

(By Herbert kaufman.)
Battles have you and to fight, and
/. we fight with the souls Of men;
We rise and fall. then we heed the
call,
And we rise and fall again.
We fight for the right and the sake
of fight,
And we fight at the call of hate;
We stab with wit and we clench
with grit,
But we play the game as the rules
are writ,
With never damn for Fate.
We sometimes gain and we sorze-
times lose. but It isn't upon the
sleeve
For we never shsw when we feel
the blow,
And we smile we hurt and grieve;
When our heart-chords strain and
things.
we sting with pain,
And our souls are Iivid moan,
We hold it in with masking grin,
And the world can't tell that we
didn't win,
And the world can't heart the groan.
We buy at price that the Fool can't
count and the Coward's afraid to
pay;
And the most we gain As the blind,
black pain;
Yet we keep right in the fray.
We can take the knife till it takes
our life,
And we live in our empty she'll;
We are dead and gone, but we bat
tie on,
For only WE know Of the place
that torn,
And only WE know the He'll.

FAILURE.

To reach life far above his eyes
Who yearns to do the worthless
And 'gainst all difficulties filings

That one who would complete what
faith began,
But, climbing on, o'ercoming all,
Bursts his strong heart, and reels, to
fall
Before some last vast summit still UNI

He hath not failed!
There is triumph in defeat;
And noble sorrows tears are sweet;
The high heart raptures, though It
breaks

In strife where truth and honor both

may be,
To victory:
Who, then. hath failed? IT'S he whose
|Scorn truth and right, who hears usr

Our fear, our faith, or wrath, or: love
Whose iron ambition strives above

A frenzied ego with poisoned will;
Who gains his JOY, his life, his light
In triumphs Of monstrous might
Though meath worldwide power bis

NONE TOO POOR
FOR INTERMENT
The New County Contract for the Burr
al of lndigents.

Funerals have been brought within
the reach of all. If one has M money
to pay for his own interment in this
county for the next year at least, the
county will bury him ten times for a
cent or bury ten of him one time for .
cent. The work will be performed by
the Arizona Casket company under a
contract awarded yesterday by the
I board OF supervisors.
Four bids for the burial of the indi-
gent dead within a radius of eight
miles of Phoenix we're opened. They
were as follows: The Arizona Casket
company, .001; Moore & Mcclellan,
s4.95; Merryman and Hayt. II; Mohn
& Driscoll OF
The board generally likes to receive
low bids for county work, but these, or
/ the most of them, were too low and
the bid of the Arizona Casket company
was, beside, embarrassing. How to
make payment might become confus-
! ing. If the bidder should bury less
than ten subjects in a quarter there
would be no coin denomination Of
money with which to make payment.
there NOulu undoubtedly Dt ctNti di
quarters within the life of the contract
in which less than ten INDECENT dead
would be buried. The board believed
that it would be better to award the
contract to some bidder who lad pro-
posed tangible amount for each sub
ject. but the rule of awarding the con-
tract to the lowest bidder finally pre-
vailed
Bids were also received for furnish
ing an automobile for the use of the
county but the board took no action
and intimated that it might be some
time before a purchase should be made.
That such a vehicle is needed is adj
mitted for the growing business Of the
county requires frequent trips to diff
f,rent parts Of it and consequently a
great deal OF money is spent for auto
mobile or livery hire.
