THE DIGNITY
Of LABORING

St Louis Times: Let there be a
generous measure of applause for DIR.
c. R. Henderson OF Chicago. who has
made a suggestion for the practical
recognition of the dignity of labor.
The Harper Memorial library. which
is one of the adjuncts of the Univer-
slty OF Chicago, is soon to be completed
and In honor of the event reception
is to be given at the university.
The unusual features Of this function
will arise from the fact that among the
guests will be those men who con-
tributed to the construction Of the new
edifice.
Structural iron workers, stone ma
sons and hod carriers will be invited
to attend, If the plans of DIR. Henderson
are approved, and he has offered such
excellent arguments in favor of the
reception that it seems likely to be-
come fact
DR.. Henderson is quoted as saying:
THE mechanics and artisans who arc
performing this great work REQUIRE a
skill which it takes years to cultivate,
and which many of us never could at,
tain. We ought to show our apprec-
N-NNADAA Va hAANAA NAICSg DuL SUCH IL
gathering should include the Lnskilled
workers as well. The work could not
have gone on so smoothly had it not
been for their assistance"
The pleasant feature of the sugges :
ton is that it is not marred at all by
a spirit of patronage. 1t would indeed,
be an amusing thing If it were thought
to be any kindness in bringing about
a meeting Of mechanics and students
the former being men who have proved
their worth, while the latter are still
on probation, so far as their ultimate
place in the social scheme is con-
cerned.
Labor truly possesses dignity of a
kind and degree which the soft handed
tribes of the world easily underesrI-
mate. but much of the so-caIled recog-
milton of that dignity is too largely
formal.
The plan which has been proposed In
Chicago is wise and good one.

SAAAASO
ENGINEERED

New York, Jan. 14.-Timothy Healy,
president Of the Brotherhood of Sta
tionary Ffremen, is authority for the
statement that recent brief strike on
the municipal ferries, by which they
cut off Staten island from communi-
cation with the rest of the city for six
hours, was part of a plot engineered
by a politician to discredit municipal
ownership.
Calvin Tompkins, commissioner of
docks and ferries backed him.
Will Be Cited Broadcast.
The temporary disturbance of the
ferries Of New York city," he says in
statement to the strikers, will be
cited all over the country as an ex-
tmple Of the undesirability Of Ameri-
can cities undertaking for themselves
services winch English and German
cities arc ad-'a~ta gecrsly providing for
their inhabitants. You must rea.

WHOLE TOWN MAKES MUSIC.

Swedes,

Lindsborg, Kan. is the land of the
Swede and the home of music. Nearly
fifty years ago a band Of Swedish i'm
migrants settled in the Smoky valley.
They prospered, built a town and col
lege. They loved music and they soon
organized a choral society that has
grown into a great oratorio society.
And how they do love music!" says
a writer in The Christian Herald. They
sing in their homes and in the fields
and teach the children to sing and to
play. One morning met a small Gust
on the street and when inquired OF
him q direction he took off his hat and
stood with the sun on his flaxen head.
He had a violin under his arm and told
me he was going to practice with three
other boys and girls a violin quartette
for the children's Saturday concert.
And what are you going to play?"
asked.

said, in his clear but slow English.

days ago when the presidents cabinet

deposition in Judge Whitney's court
this morning in reference to the clos

during the time OF the cholera cpl

were closed because. of the pressure
of the Board of Health DIR. Mackal
was city and county physician at the
time, and he was virtually forced to
resign when it was found that certain
poi factories had been permitted by
him to resume business without the
sanction of the board. The case for
which the doctors testimony is taken
is one Of those in which the Chinese

''All the trees at the infected tract

the tract, so that all will be bright

be able to see everything within the
fenced inclosure, and the light will
be of great assistance.

can be no more cases till next Tues

A tract of land, seventeen hundred
by twelve hundred feet, will be en-.
closed by a ten-strand barbed wire
fence. The posts will be seven feet
high, and the wires stretched at inter-
walls Of eight inches or so from near
the ground to the top. A couple of
hundred coils of the barbed wire have
been ordered by the Board of Health
Department, and it is being put up
as rapidly as possible.
