any rate they forced the man into the

This unfortunate epidemic teaches a
lesson which can not be too strongly
impressed on the public. viz. the dan

dangerously infectional character OF
syphilis. These facts should be taught
as matter OF everyday sanitary
knowledge. Physicians must recognize
that tremendous responsibility rests
on them in safeguarding the public
from such dangers and those persons
who are unfortunate enough to become
so infected must be made to realize the
danger to those with whom they come

PUBLICITY WITH PUBLICITY LEFT OUT.

The much .outed and bepraised pub
hcly law requiring congressional and
sena torial candidates to file statements
Of campaign expenditures before cleo
ton is being nullified by senate Off
cials who ref;lse to give out to the
press the statements filed by two SEN
atorial and <our congressional candi-
dates The reason offered for the
denial Of the statements TO the press
Is that the law fails to specifically pro-
vide for their publication.
No doubt the law is weak in this i'm
portant particular, weakness Which IT
would appear should not have been
overlooked by The senators who father
ed and pushed he measure: but the IN
tent of the law and the purpose II was
meant to accomplish are SO entirely
evident and apparent that the refusal
to give out the figures looks ike
direct effort to evade it. If there was
any reason Cor its adoption that reason
was to inform the voters before they
cast their ballot as to any excessive
or suspicious expenditure by candi-
dates. The law provides plainly enough
that the expense disbursements Of can
d!dates shall be part of the public
records" and shall be open 10 inspec-
ton" II the law means anything 1t
means that these statements may be
copied and published in the newspa-
pers. That 1t did not provide that
they should be given out for pubiica-
ton is certainly poor reason to be
given for secrecy when the law is plain
for publicity.
Those who are Mortified and as
founded over the suspiciously question:
ing attitude OF the public toward pub
lie officials may find somewhat of the
reason and partial justification of the
attitude over which they complain in
the attempts to evade the intent and
purpose of legislation. We have had SO
much of this apparent desire to evade
or at least neglect enforcement of land
laws, pure food laws and other laws to
which the public looks for protection OF
its interests that it would be indeed
strange If an intelligent public were
without suspicion of men and motives.

put it beyond the possibility of official

A LESSON QE LABOR DAY.

Today is labors one official holiday.
1t keeps it we'll II throws down its
hammers and silences its anvils. gath
ers its families and goes out for a holt
day. 1t is the true fashion of holi-
days, the family, the friends, and the
friends families.
If any man is entitled to holiday
it is he who works. The father works,
the mother works. the boys and girls
work. The problem of existence is
solved in the simplest and truest way.
1t is simply production and a division
of labor. Labor trades actual service
for actual service 1t is not a mid
die man. never a parasite. 1t is ele-
mental the foundation of existence.
If a man will not work neither shall
he eat. That is the essence of equal
ity.
It is the only true test of equality
No man who does not produce is the
equal of him VINO does produce No
man who does not render personal ser
vice is the equal Of him who does. IN
the mooted question OF real superiority
the elemental man is always the su-
perior of the other. When the show
down comes and the question Of exist
ence is the problem to be worked out
labor is the greatest common divisor.
Labor day is an institution. 1t is
the one day. Of a great end growing
force And the mere might and prom
Use Of this power must and shall bring
with 1t the sense of a high responsible
ity, the noblesse oblige of the order
Of common service. Greatness can not
be selfish and exist. A great force
can not be directed toward sordid
ana selfish end and remain powerful.
The secret of true power is service,
common service which includes all
mankind. And this is the new lesson
which labor must learn and is learn
ing. AS organized labor grows in
numbers and in temporary power it
must make itself powerful for the
common good. That is the essential to
the heightened existence of all power.
Usefulness is the tombstone Of every
movement which shall endure. A wise
man concluded that God loves common
poople or he wouldn't have made SO
many Of them. He must approve OF

sidefation which the willingness to
