better to have every farmer SOW %

THE MUTUAL INTERESTS
 OF CAPITAL AND LABOR
By HON. WILLIAM B. WILSON,
 Secretary of Labor

had trouble in the past. In our dis. putes we have confused the mean ing of the words tsnutuaI'' and
 Identical" The interests of cap 1tal and labor are mutual-they are not Identical. They are mutual in seeking the greatest production by the expenditure of a given amount of effort It is only when it comes to division of what has been pro-
 duced that their interests diverge
 Here is where the opportunity exists in this country for these two mutual interests to sit down in the council chamber of Judgment and work out a division that has regard forzthe proper rights of each Con- sequently, look forward with great assurance to the future of this Department. It must tend to- ward industrial peace. Mutual understanding depends upon mu- tua1 a1Nexplanatfons. The duty of this Department will not lie in the direction of deciding difficult ques- tions, but rather in the direction of bringing together those whose in terests are mutual and who will therefore gain by being brought to- gether.
 It seems wise for me to empha- size that this Department is not bound to favor any and every scheme that may be brought under it's notice. As I said before, we are not to decide; we are to bring together. The Department is not built for to-day. II is built for all time and therefore must plan, not merely for immediate gain, but also for the permanent welfare Of the workers.
 Problem of Labor's Equivalent.
 As I see it, the average thinking man, who contenp1ates for a mo- ment the difficulties under which labor has carried forward its tasks in the past, would concede the truth of the general statement ''every man is entitled to the full social equivalent of what he pro- duces." The problem, however, is to arrive at that figure, and it is in such direction that concilfation and discussion will render their great services. Let me illustrate the problem by drawing attention to finished locomotive as it stands on the rails ready for service. That locomotive is the collective result of the activities of nearly all eIe- ments of organized society. The man in the ore beds, the miner of coal and producer of limestone and feldspar, only touch the side of the raw material. The organized ef- 6cfency of the blast furnace, the tn- tricate labor Of the foundry, the vision of the inventor, all find meeting place in that construction of mechanical skill. But I have not touched at all upon the inter-a est of the educator, of all those along the way who had to do with the labor of production. I have not referred to the minister who looked after the spiritual interests of all those who had any task to perform In connection with this finished pro duct. When all these are fncIud- ed, still have made no reference to the farmer, who through his

has discovered, has an average brain bulk of 500 units, while the maxi mum gorilla brain is of 67O units. The skull of the fossil man from the gray els of Java has a capacity of only 300 units. Hence" concludes Sir Ray, eff we accept, as we must, the fact that the brain of man and the naaxlike apes naturally varies greatly in volume in different individuals, there is no absolute gap in re- gard to size between the higher races of man and the apes. The difference is bridged over by the lower races of man and the exception al individuals of apes" One of the other differences between humans and the lower animals, the length of time during which childhood and the subse- Quent ado1escent stage of development is prolonged, has also been bridged by Sir Ray, who points out that these periods differ little in the higher apes and the lowest types of savage hu- mans Another interesting speCula- ton fndu1ged in by Sir Ray is as to the origin and use of the human chin. Me has discovered that the most primitive types of humanity were chinIess.
 Dr. Muller, the great Orientaiist of the University of Pennsylvania, has been a resident of the United States for a quarter of a century, Save dur ing his absences in Egypt, where he has engaged in archaeological work for Carnegie Institution and other sol entif1c bodies. Tn a recent address on the history of Egypt, pr. Muller de- clared that the costume of the women of ancient Egypt did not include even a, fig-leaf, and that a single diamond or other stone constituted a. complete and fashionable Winter wardrobe pr. REn1Ttr places the period when jewelry formed the only clothing at about the fifth century B. c. Dr. Muller also said that Queen Ta1a of Egypt, who re1gned fourteen centuries before the beginning of the present era, had been a working girl before she became the bride of the Egyptian king, and was the first queen ever chosen from the ranks of commoners.

Washington, May 15.-The Nations Business, published by the Chamber of Commerce of the United. States contains in its issue of to-day the fol lowing interview with Wm. B. Wilson Secretary of Labor:
 Capital and Labor are partners. The Department of Labor is to prove a promoter of industrial peace." These are direct quota tions from a. statement made by Hon. William B. Wilson, Secretary of the Department Of Labor, sre1a- tive to the newly organized Fed- era1 Department which he controls.
 Questions put to MT. Wilson by the Editor of The Nations Busi- ness, the official organ of the Chamber of Commerce of the Unit clearly defining the opinion of MT. Wilson as to the great service which the Department of Labor may and can render in the future business affairs of the Nation. Sec retary Wilson is a. man of peculiar mental sincerity and seriousness and he regards the Department of Labor as being built for all time and not merely as temporary in it's influences, or called upon to deal with transient expedients of ad- Justmentl between capital and la- bor.
 Relative to the Department of Labor, Secretary Wilson said:
 X I've have scarcely started; we are in the formative stage; our dI1- ties are assigned to us in the organ ic act. But one of these duties, namely, promoting the welfare of the wage earners of the United States is so general in scope that it will very naturally lead to several lines of endeavor not now ant1ci- pated. An for the specific duties assigned to the Department, I re- gard that as most important which deals with our right to act as a mediator in labor disputes and to appoint conciliators, if may so de- scribe them. This is what makes me feel that the Department, of La- Dor is intended to promote indus trial peace I see in the scope of the Department future of service that will undoubtedly cause it to be : ranked high in the opinion of the Nation.
 Vital Mutual Relations.
 Capital and labor are partners. Capital without labor is ineffective. Labor without capital IS idle. Cap ital is an fnanimate thing. It rep- resents the accum u1ation of the uIl-' consumed product Of previous la bor. On the other hand, capital is the means by which labor can live until the products of its efforts can be realized on. Capital. the inani- mate thing, can produce nothing except by providing opportunity for labor. Therefore, capital and la- bor to be effective, must serve each other.
 This leads naturally to an impor- tant statement, the force of which Is sometimes overlooked. As cap 1tal and labor each must serve the other, then each must have voice in determining the terms of part nership. It is here that we have

No, sir!"
Bross had a strong personal reason
for being disgruntled with H~opeville.
He was a man Of some means and his
son, Bradley, had married a poor
humble girl. The old man had rallied
at the secret match, and had prompt
ly discarded his di%sobedient son.
Nellie Horton, whom Bradley had
married, was an orphan, but her par
ents had left her a small farm just
out of town. There the welded pair
settled down. It was a poor place,
however, situated near a sterile ra-
vine, soil not fertile, and affording a
bare living.
