Labor Day Is A Unique Holiday Ii Marks The Growth Of Power
 In The Great Mass Of People

Labor Day had a most successful celebration in Bridgeport yesterday. The original labor day Sun day. the day of rest decreed by the commandment But that religious day, based upon the impulse to worship and the secular belief that everybody and everything animate needs rest at appropriate periods
 The Labor Day which is celebrated under this name is unique among the holidays It isn't religious festival Thanksgiving and Christmas It doesn't celebrate colsDay and Washington $ birthday do It doesnt eel ebrate victory political iberation Fourth of Ju1ysdoes.
 Labor Day marks however one of the great epochal points in the history of the world It shows the time when the workers of the world recognized the portant of the world real democracy began
 During thousands of years work has been looked upon dishonorable In and Greece most of the labor wasone slaves and if not by them, by freemen of the lowest sort, who much despised.
 Until within almost modern time in England, the workersere ses attached to the soil of the employer, even though they might have certain civic rights.
 In France the workers had almost rights until after the French revolution, which is younger than our Deca ration of Independence
 So Labor Day, holiday decreed to workers,was quite event in the history of mankind but here it point about which revove many momentous changes which to be altogether the benefit of the mankind
 In the United States and indeed in most modern os the actual is in the hands of the great body of the people, or almost there

EDITORIAL NOTES

The first session of the American Bar Ass ociation-which opens it's thfr- ty-fourth annual convention in Mon treal today-was held in 1878, when a number of leading attorneys met and organized a national society ito ad- vance the science of Jurisprudence, promote the administration of justice and uniformity of legislation through cut the Union.' The association has been instrumental in bringing about many reforms in legal procedure. The present membership exceeds (, ,000 The modern profession of the law, which is represented by so distinguished an as- semb1age in Montreal today, may be said to date from the year 1291, when pleaders of the bar or barristers, were first appointed by Edward I. There is earlier mention of professional advo- cates in England, but they had no of f1cial standing. In these days the law is a stepping-stone to official and polit- icaI greatness, but 1t was not always so. Tn 1872 it was decreed in England that "no man of the law should be permitted to sit in Parliament. Coke and Blackstone both condemned this prohibition, but the statutes were not repealed until 1871.
 The first attempt to apply gasoline as a, motive power was made by a Frenchman, Pierre Joseph RaveI, who patented forty-fve years ago "a steam generator heated by mineral oils, to be applied to steam 1ocomotion on or dinary roads, RavePs engine was fit- ted to small carriage, and developed three horsepower. The Franco-Ger- man war put an end to Ravers OK periments for a time, but years later he built a motor-car in which petro. leum was used for the direct genera tion of motive power. In 1876 Lent tz invented a burner by which a mixture of gasoline and other naphthas called massout, was used for fuel on steam ships. About the same time gas. rline was used as an illuminant in '.tree- lamps, and later new use was found for 1t in the manufacture of varnish and oil-cloth. Gasoline, amounting to eight per cent. of the distilled product of the crdue petroleum, continued to be a drug on the market until the in- vention of the gasoline motor and it's application to the automobile, boats aeroplanes and hundreds Of industrial uses. Several inventors helped to in- augurate the 'age of gasoline but the chief of them was George B. Sel- den, of Rochster, N. Y., the father of the automobile,

Two distinguished French acadeni- clans, Paul Bourget and Paul Hervieu, were born on this date, the former in 1852 and the latter in 1857. Bourget poet, critic and novelist, is a native of Aniens, and has been before the read ing public for forty years Practical 1y all of his novels have been translat- t. ed into English and have been widely read, although some are trife risque from Anglo-Saxon viewpoint. Bour- get has also written number of plays including t'The Barricade,' '' 'tThe Tribune" and 'HThe Crisis. Her yieu, like Bourket, has been hOnored with membership in both the Academ- ic F'rancaise and the Legion d dHon- neur. His delightful plays, most of which have been originally produced at the Comedie Francaise, have won for him a place in the foremost ranks of the "compositeurs dramatiques' of France.

Great con1agrattons and disasters, terrible as they seem at E1e time of their occurrence are not always Whol- ly evil. The great Chicago fire aroused the 'I Win!' spirit which has made the city powerful and prosperous. A better, safer and cleaner San Fran cisco has arisen from the ruin that en- composed it only a few short years ago. Yet the greatest blessing ever in ficted by fire was the destruction of London by a confagration which com menced PAY yeans ago today, Sept. 3, 1866, and which ragged with fury for several days, leaving 100000 people homeless.
 The Monument of London long the loftiest structure of its kind in the world, was built in 1871 to commemo- rate the E'Great Fire which came as a blessing in disguise. For years the second of September was celebrated in London as the day of delfverance from the fGreat Plague which had threat ened the extermination of the whole population of the city until the cleans ing flames put an end to it's ravages.
 'aThis is the last of LondonP' the mortified people cried as they fled be- fore the great waves of fire which spread on the wings of a fierce wind over city already stricken to death.
 The plague, beginning late in 1864 claimed nearly a hundred thousand victims before the infection was de- stroyed by fire. The pestilence was favored by the 'unsanitary conditions which then prevailed in London, as in all cities of that time. Dirt and filth the allies of disease, prevailed in the ma rsions of the rich well as in the novels of the poor. The air was filled with bacteria, and the pestilence was the natural result.
 Death became so common as to ex- cite no comment Individual funerals became impossible, except for the rich, and in the poorer quarters the death carts passed constantly through the

THINK WICK SLATED
FOR GOOD POSITION
Campaign Fund Collector Is
Inclined to, and Well Fitted
for Business Life.

Either the Assistant United States
Treasurership at New York or the
United States marshars office at New
York will go to Assistant Secretary
Walker w. Wick, of the Democratic ma
tional committee, in all probability.
Mr. Vick's inclinations are for busi-
ness life, it is known. and either Of
these positions involves a strong busi-
ness knowledge. 1t is probable that he
does not care for a position OF strictly
political nature, although In the line Of
fine berths he can have almost his pick.
His work as collector" in the recent
campaign has placed him high in the
regard of both President Wilson and
Chairman McCombs of the Democratic
national committee. In this position.
and as a Princeton man, he is said to be
pie at New York. Mr. Wick accom-
plished the raising Of a large campaign
fund. obtaining contributions in quarters
where others had failed. He likewise
induced many Of the contributors to en-
large their subscriptions.
Since the close of the campaign he
has been in charge OF inaugural COM
mittee headquarters. His friends here
declare today that, the position was only
temporary, and that both because of
business fitness and his campaign work
he will land the treasurership or the
marshalship. 1t is reported that his
preference Is for the marshalship, but
Mr.. Wick Is making no comment on the
situation.
The inaugural headquarters work will
be closed within few days, so an ap-
pointment is expected for him within a
week or two.

whether any girl employed by his big
concern is paid less than so per week
whether it is true tnat the company
seeks to employ only girls who live
at home because those girls are partly
supported by their families and car
work at a lower wage. and whether he
does not believe that store heads who
set wages lower than 80 are directly
responsible for the wrecking of young
girls lives.
Nineteen notorious red light" district
habitues also have been subpoenaed.
