LABOR SAVING INVENTIONS

The labor world has constantly
and continuously made war on labor
saving inventions.
When the manufacturers OF Eng
land sought TO introduce labor saving
devices into their factories. rios
were very often precipitated.
The first steam cylinder press had
TO be designed and perfected. and
afterwards installed behind closed
doors
When the sewing machine was pat
ented in this country il was general
ly predicted that il meant starvation
for the sewing women who were then
barely eking out an existence with
their needles.
Every labor saving device and in
yention has had 10 fight its way TO
the front against active opposition
See how the printers in the United
States hailed the Mergenthaler type
setting machine as q destroyer Of
their trade, and almost with one
voice they proclaimed that their oc-
cupation. like Othello's. was gone.
The automobile has had 10 fight its
way against prejudice into general
use in the same way.
In China the trades people have
successfully fought off inventions al
most up 10 the present time. but the
walls have been beaten down, and the
quickening impulse OF western civili-
zation is now shedding its benignant
beams over that empire.
Suppose for a moment that all these
varied inventions, so strenuously
fought against by the laboring world,
were suddenly swept from the face
of the earth, what a fearful calamity
would ensue.
See how the automobile has given
employment to thousands of young
men. and so of all the other inven-
ton. The sewing machine was the
sewing Womans angel OF mercy. II
lightened her tasks and increased her
pay. So OF the Mergenthaler ma
chine-iJ increased the printers pay
and revolutionized the newspaper,
making it many times larger than
was possible under the old methods,
and opened the door Of opportunity
much wider than was thought posi-
bic only two decades ago.
Every labor-savfng device helps
the alborer, lessons his hours Of toll,
makes the physical strain easier, in
creases the pay and opens the door
Of opportunity wider.
The inventors are the worlds real
patron saints-more so than priests
or warriors

lowering over Europe have finally re-

Turkey Had these countries joined
in the peace pact with the United

There was no complications in the

could not have been settled amicably

The editor of this paper would sug
gest to Mr.. Coleman that he confne
himself TO putting salt on the tails of
harmless birds and catch them In
that way. He would cut a less san
culinary figure than wantonly shooting
them for sport. If the editor of this
paper had it in his power he would
protect the birds all the year round
and would never have an open sea-
son for shooting them, certainly never
for sport. He would confine this mas
culine exposition of Workmanship to
the shooting of clay pigeons or glass
balls which ought to be exciting
enough for the testing of ones skill
In the olden times, when the use of
the gun was more in demand than il
is now, our fathers contented them
selves to show off their markham
ship to admiring crowds by shooting
at targets, sometimes hitting the
bulls eye'-an entirely harmless
sport. The command is: Thou shalt
not kill" Il is without qualification.

eral other cars TO come in before Oc-
tober l.
This Eears GHdden tour holds the
