European Industrial Courts.

France, Germany and Switzerland
seem to be achieving successful and
satisfactory results through their in
dustrial courts, whose judges for the
most part, are composed OF employ
ers and employees. Justice lie speedy
and cheap, so far as financial ex-
pense goes and, In the great major
ity OF cases, the verdicts are
acknowledged as fair and just. But
owing to the slight cost OF litigation,
the number OF cases Is large. most
of them being instituted by the en-
ployes. For instance. in the Ger
man empire last year 112,2s1 cases
came before the Industrial courts
and only per cent were brought by
employers.
Most OF these cases involved dis
putes over wages or working eondi-
tions. very minor matters often en-
tering into litigation. This seems
to indicate one bad feature Of the
system, namely. that II unnecessar-
lily encourages and multiplies litiga-
tion, but where the results are go
mutually satisfactory. perhaps that
evil may be endured. II certainly
would seem to be better than open
breaches between labor and capital,
prolonged strikes. entailing losses on
both sides, TO say nothing of the enor-
nous and unjust burdens entailed by
the public as the innocent third party.
Whether the system would work SO
well In this country is question and
yet there is room for tremendous i'm
proyemcnt in the relations OF labor
and capital here. Trades unionism
alone has not done as much as can be
done. and, on the other hand, the
employers organizations have fallen
short OF desired results. The chief
trouble in these relations Is a lack OF
which this Industrial
court system seems to foster.

THE FOUNDERS,

Stay US not. for we hear the sounds
OF laughter and song by night.
In places gay where adventure abounds
And passion and fierce delight.
Where warm lips whisper a careless
caress.
And cheeks are flushed with wine;
Where flames Of women in wanton dress
vii come to lazy sign.
Little we'll reck Of the hours of dawn
Nor care when the lights grow dim,
But we'll bow us now ere youth has
flown
To the gods OF wild night within.
You who sit by your fireslde bright
With children about your knee,
May shun the spell of the lawless night
That beckons such as We.
For the white lights call to the lonely
man
Swamped in the friendless fray.
With home nor friend nor love of clan
To know at the close OF day.

the FAILURE of Mr.. Roof in Lexington
We are glad to note, show that he
was above suspicion, and stands be-
fore the world with a clean record
Ihis nian has done SO much for his
community and for his people. that
IT would have been one more stick
to break the confidence of the peo-
PIE IN the man Of philanthropy and
public spirit had there been any
thing crooked about it. and we are
giad TO note that no such charge can
legltimatey be brought against him.
He failed in an effort to protect the
cotton mills in which he was interest
ed, and which every business man
would have regarded as reasonable.
and there is every chance of the
depositors getting their full value out
of the settlement, and Mr.. Roof has
given up everything for the creditors
OF the bank, even many things that
he need not have put up, but he IS
proving that man can be in a DO
sition to rob the people and yet not
do IT, and there are so many people
who think so meanly Of humanity
that they cannot understand how
man could be in that position and
not take advantage of it to rob the
people, and as that sort of senti-
ment is the worst possible cancer on
our social organization, We are glad
! to be able to combat 1t in this case.
