The Fircs Of Patriotism.

From the New York Tribune.
The fires of patriotism have been re-
lighted in South Carolina. They were al
most quenched a few weeks ago when
Gov. Cole Blease wrote to the War De-
partment saying that South Carolina
land forces would not submit to further
supervision from Washington and that
the State was glad to escape the annoy
ance of Yankee interference. That
declaration of secession sounded good FOR
time. II was almost like being out OF
the Union once more. But on sober sec
ond thought an Independence which
threatened to involve too large share
of local freight paying became irksome.
Some Of the secessionists figured 1t out
that IL the State went little further
and cut of communication with the navy
as well as the army the government
might retaliate by closing up the Charles
ton Navy Yard. and that sacrifice, on top
of surrendering the compensation paid to
the militia under the nationalized militia
law, appeared to be an excessive price to
pay for solitary grandeur.
So South Carolina decided to come
back. Blease has telegraphed to the
War Department to renew its Yankee"
remittances and to go as far as 1t likes
In the way of bossing the local militia.
The flames are rekindled on the altar Of
patriotism. Like many other patriots,
the Governor of South Carolina may not
give a hang for the old flag In itself.
but his heart still beats wildly for the
old nag and an appropriation.

mend measures for its abatement
A certain amount of antagonism be
tween employers and employees is. OF
course, no new thing. Their. interests.

are necessarily opposed. So long as the
share of the employees depends on their
ability to make favorable bargains with
their employers-that is, SO long as the
wage system itself endures-some sense OF
antagonisfn must continue.
There is, however. a new element In the
situation, and this, in my judgment. is a
widespread sense of the injustice Of the
conditions under which the wage con-
tract must now be made. BY this do
not mean that any large proportion OF
wage-earners has come to accept the doc
trine which Socialists teach-that the
whole product of industry is due to labor,
and ought Of right to go to the workers.
The revolt. as interpret 1t, Is not against
the wage system itself, but rather against
the legal restrictions which in practice
hamper wage-earners at every turn IN
their efforts to improve their condition
without putting any corresponding re-
straint on their employers
Unjust Wage Contracts.
A few illustrations will make my mean
ing clearer. The injunction process has
been found a highly efficient means OF
breaking a strike. 1t can be used by
employers against their employees because
they can nearly always persuade a court
that damage suits against these employees,
after they have committed unlawful acts
which are destructive OF property. will
prove ineffective. 1t can rarely. II ever,
be turned against employers because II
can usually be urged that they will be
able to respond in damages, and that,
therefore, there is no need for this extra
ordinary means of compelling them TO
respect the property rights of others. A
legal remedy which may be used by one
side in an industrial dispute and not by
the other, naturally seems to the other
unfair.
Again, wage-earners know that to sue
ceed in strikes for higher wages -oI
shorter hours they must control a SUI
fcient proportion of the available work
ers in the trade to bring 1t home to the
employer that they are necessary part
ners in his business. From their point
of view. therefore, efforts to strengthen
their unions through strikes to prevent
the employment Of non-unionists, or
"scabs," are as necessary and proper as
efforts TO secure higher wages or shorter
hours directly When the courts tell
them that they may strike for better con-
ditions, but IL they strike to strengthen
the union they are guilty of conspiracy,
they feel that the law is Illogical, arbi-
trary. and designed. while seeming to

Rev. Donald MacLean, chaplain of the
military forces of the Commonwealth Of
Australia, recently in America for
month and just sailed for England, says
he found conditions in Chicago and
Louisville very different In the matter
OF the regard of Christians toward to-
bacco. In Chicago he heard that II
would ruin a ministers reputation to
be caught smoking. Even theolog
would suffer and be barred the cloth. On
the other hand, in Louisville nobody was
orthodox unless he smoked. Such was
the case even in the Southern Theologi-
cal Seminary. the big Baptist institution
that turns out so many Southern Baptist
pastors. What gave joy to his heart was,
however. the old-fashioned religion he
heard preached in Kentucky and Ten
nessee. He said hell fire and birthstone.

in Australia, but they seemed to him
very much in use in these Middle West
churches.

SOON TO LEAVE

Major John T. Myers, United States
Marine Corps, was selected by the
major general eommandant of the
corps some four months ago as the
relief of Major w. c.. Neville, now
in command of the marines at Camp
Very and Pearl Harbor. Before the
orders could be issued for the change,
the Mexican situation became acute,
"a brigade of marines was hurriedly
organized, and Major Myers was
ordered to the command of one of
the battalians constituting the brigade
and sailed for Guantanamo. Shortly
after his arrival there he was taken
i'll, surveyed, and returned to the
states on the Utah and is now in the
Naval Hospital at Norfolk, Virginia.
1t is supposed that his illness is not
a serious one, and that he will soon
proceed to Honolulu, for, il this were
not the case, one OF the fifteen or
more available majors of the corps
who would, like the command would
have been ordered here before this
date, as this is considered one of the

transport, without waiting for his
relief. .%". .-..>. -

that sometimes the sea was so rough

This plan called for steel rein

the committee, at Mahukona would
have been much less than in some
other locality, by reason of the fact
that right at that point the steel was
to be had at very low figure, as the
Hawaii Railway Company was re-
tracking it's system and had the rails
taken UP, laying at Mahukona, and
the saving on cost of material and
freight would have been considerable.
This plan was submitted to Marston
