then there is clearly something for gov
eminent to set right.
Great questions of sanitation and
public health have become government
questions in our day. Before the dawn
of democracy, government had never
paid any attention to these matters.
Men were allowed to die like feas. Now
adays we consider it the duty of states
men to see that women are not over
burdened with work; that children are
not dwarfed and stunted by too great a
burden of labor; that factories are prop
erly ventilated; that dangerous machin-
cry is properly guarded that rivers are
kept pure and cities clean; that hospi
tails are provided; that education is put
within the reach of everybody; and that
the humblest citizen of our country has
a full chance to live and thrive.
at is in this sense that government
becomes the instrument of humanity, of
social betterment.
This is the new meaning of govern
ment. It's business is to establish and
maintain every condition which viii

woodrow wilson's Message to Women.

Woodrow Wilson Democratic candi-
date for the presidency, contributes to
the November Woman's Home Compan-
ion what might be called message to
American women. In this article he de-
velops the idea that the government at
Washington should keep house" for the
whole people. An extract follows:
"The interest of government in high
prices and an excessive cost of living
is direct and manifest nowadays. Every
law should be altered which gives rise to
conditions which make it harder for the
rank and file of men to live. And every
means ought to be adopted by which
labor may be kept in heart and made
secure of its inst earnings.
1T is not by accident or the mere
trick Of parties that the market basket
is made a symbol OF the peoples pros
perity and content. An essential matter
with eyerx man is, How shall he earn
enough to support himself and those
who are dependent upon him. If any
one is allowed to fix prices unjustly or
arbitrarily: if anyone is allowed to Sc
cure what he doesn't earn; if one man
is permitted privilege which another
man does not enjoy, and fills his posket
by means of this privilege, while another

LABOR NOTES OF
VIDE INTEREST

Trade unions differ from all other in
stitutions in that no royal roads by short
cuts TO economic freedom are promised
or predicted, All other cults and "isms'
spread their alluring wares before work
ers weary with the age-long struggle for
freedom. and who become impatient
with the slow, steady and substantial
progress trade unionism says IL can only
make as each man develops and expands.
Workers cannot be blamed for being
swept off their feet by waves OF emo
tionalism and sentimentalism. Their
lives are sacrifice that strengthens
these noble sentiments in man, which
are taken advantage Of by astute seek
ers for an easier living, who pose as "our
friends" but whose presence on the
picket line is rarely noted.
History, evolution and bitter expert
ence teach us there is no royal road TO
emancipation. Up from slavery the
workers staggered under the heavy load
that continually grows lighter as they
learn the value of solidarity on the in
dustrial field and the resultant changing
of public opinion, which is reflected in
legislative halls and ON the judicial
bench

Others. If we are to come into our own,
we must face responsibility rather than
lend a willing ear to those who tell us,
Come, all We who are heavily laden.
Put us in office and all will be well"
The political state is only an echo of
industrial masters. The men who ig-
more trade unionsm and favor political
action first have placed the cart before
the horse in their zeal for power. This
theory, so continually pounded on by ex-
pert press agents and working class poll
ticians, has deadened the faith of many
workers in the trade union movement,
who fail to see any contradictions in
their union journals of this heresy which
is now in its hey-day of power, but
which win in time spend its force as
men again strike an even keel, as they
have done many times before.
The trade union movement is slow 1t
nothing spectacular. Every day
it makes countless gains, without fam

The laboring people should unite and

the laborers and the oilers, the support
ers and the supported. Every man is

minds free labor and free thought,
chainless hands and fetterless brains.
Free labor will give us wealth. The

When women reason and babies sit in

Slavery includes all other crimes. 1t

II degrades labor and corrupts leisure,
With the idea that labor is the basis of
progress goes the truth that labor must
be free. The laborer must be a free
man. We would like to see this world,
at least, so that man could die and
not fret that he had left his wife and
children a prey to the greed, the ayarice,
or the cruelties of mankind. There is
something wrong in a government where
they who do the most have the least.
There is something wrong where honesty
wears a rag and rascalty robe; when
the loving, the tender. eat crust, while
the infamous sit at banqucts.
