The ninth annual report of the To

a business success.
The report shows the total amount

shares at 81 each. The total assets of
the company, according to the report,
now stand at $53,12676 as compared
with total liability to shareholders
and creditors of $25,6502O. thus giving
a surplus of $27, 476.56
Last year the temple company had
cash balance Of So, 1862, while for the
fiscal year just closed the amount in
bank and on hand was $5,SS1.56. or
the largest balance ever reported by
the company.
The net profits for the year just
closed represent a dividend Of over Is
per cent. which will be applied to the
liquidation of the mortgage. which was
reduced from $4,000 to $500 during
the year.
In estimating the assets no account
is made for appreciation since posses

ed that the property is fully worth
$4,000.
Efforts are to be put forth during
the present year for the purpose of
liquidating the entire mortgage debt,
and if the revenue continues the same
as it did last this can be accomplished.

JUSTICE FOR LABOR.

The following excerpt from the
inaugural address of President
Wilson recOunting the deficien-
cies of our government is sug-
gestive:
Nor have we studied and per-
fected the means by which gov
eminent may be put at the serv-
ice Of humanity. in safeguard
ing the health of the nation. the
health of its men and it's wO-
men and children as well as
their rights in the struggle for
existence. This is no sentimental
duty. The firm basis of govern
ment is justice, not pity. These
are matters of justice. There
can be no equality of opportuni-
ty-the first essential of justice
in the body politic-if men and
women and children be not
shielded in their lives. their very
vitality. from the consequences
of great industrial and social
processes which they cannot al
ter, control or singly cope with.
Society must see to it that it
does not itself crush or weaken
or damage its own constituent
parts The first duty of law is
to keep sound the society it
serves. Sanitary laws. pure food
laws and laws determining con-
ditions Of labor which individ-
uals are powerless to determine
for themselves are intimate parts
of the very business of justice
