Do Your Duty and Win.

A victory for the coal miners of Col
orado and the copper miners of Michi
gan can be achieved II only the or
ganized workers of America can be
made to realize that the success of the
strikes in both of these states will
have far-reaching effect on the Ia
Dor movement of a continent. The
strikers of the coal mines and the COP
per mines are standing firm, and are
looking to their brothers to stand be-
hind them until the cause of Justice
has triumphed over the tyranny of or
ganized greed. Do your duty and the
strikes in Colorado and Michigan will
be won.-Miners' Magazine.

Tom Mann's Lecture in Brief.
Discomfort Causes Man to climb.

. We moralize. we philosophize about
the discomfort of man. We give little
reasons for it, but the real reason of
1t all is that man is greater than his
circumstances, and that God is always
calling him to come up to the fullnesa
of his life. Dreadful will be the day
when the world becomes contented.
Sad will be the day for every man
when he becomes absolutely contented
with the life that he is living, with
the thoughts that he is thinking. with
the deeds that he is doing.-Phillips
Brooks.

Shifting Your Faults to othe RS.

II is easier sometimes to find ex-
cuses or shift the blame to someone
else than to accept personal RESPONSE
bility when things go wrong. and un-
fortunately the habit OF shifting the
responsibility is easily formed. Once
acquired, it leads the individual to
lose proper sense of his own duties

What the Endorsement Means

The resolutions adopted by the Committee of One Hundred and Twenty-Five endorsing the can didaces of the present city officials re-eecton non partisan ticket to be considered an endorsement of the n-partisan principle rather than endorsement of the merits the officials individuals aggregation. It realized that unless such action taken the party committees, inspired by politicians, would likely put candidates into the field and thus on the eve of what it is desired shall be a non- partisan, efficient and business-lke government would find ourselves engaged in partisan scramble. The partisan spirit is strong Phoenix now, and in the opinion of the members of the mittee it well risk of replacing it with a partisan sentiment
 That is something to be guarded against only now but at all times in the Under the best imaginable form of municipal government an outbreak of partisan politics is always possible. Constant party appeals will be made to citizens by those who expect profit by politics Voters will be reminded of their affiliations in county, state and national politics. They will be urged to be loyal to party in municipal affairs.
 There must always be opposed these de- signs, that partisan spirit which inspired those resolutions of Tuesday night. But, have said those resolutions do the individuals composing what may call officials ticket, except against any ticket proposed by political organization.
 An independent movement in favor any other non-partisan candidate because of his peculiar fitness for office which he should be proposed, would not, as we understand it. be regarded by the Committee of One Hundred and Twenty Five d violation of the non-partsan principle

Jap Labor in Translation State

Japanese life. says James Davenport Whelpley, much less fowery than it seems. Discussing "Japan's Commercial Crisis in the Century, he sets strikingly the truth about Japan's inner life problems as that any country Not the least of these the relation of capital and labor. The n- dustraI situation in Japan is most critical, says Mr. Whelpley. and the few years will witness many disturbances preceding important and lneV- itabe readjustments. The relations of capital and labor have yet to be determined The workman has heretofore always been docile and 0bedent. and strikes along Western lines have been unknown. The dissemination of western ideas and the increasing cost living bringing about state of restless and dissatisfaction potent with serious poSsl- bilities
 The Japanese laborer is in rebellion, and while himself alarmed and a bit beWildered at the power he finds himself possessed of, his bewderment is as nothing the of the employer who IS faced with the increased expense that will follow the rise in wages and the improvement in working conditions demanded by the aborer The tendency far has been to treat with the men and aNOld conflicts. in most where conflict mas actually taken place the have
 The labor union such is unknown but all Japan is organized into gilds and the control of the gild over is absolute In fact viewing the gild labor organization ana such the labor of the country IS most com pleely autocratically organized, and 1t IS only necessary change the title of gild to labor ullon and allow it's members realization Of the power of their association and the situation automatically modernizes itself.
 As yet the Japanese laborng men have not ac- quired sufficient boldness to strike for an aVoWed purpose, but by concerted action they fail t" report duty. When asked why they do not appear they plead physical ailments and thus escape legal action. They accomplish the desired end. however and the result is the same This is a recognized played every time with the full understanding O both sides the controversy.

Chicago as a Financial Center
CThaddeus s. Dayton n Harper's Week

(IhaddeuS :. Dayton IIarper's WeekIy)
 One reason for Chcago's tremendous growth as a financial is it's strategic location as distributing point for practically whole United States east of the Rockies It is the commercial ana Industrial well the financial capital of a vast territory of incredible richness. It is the worlds greatest railway center, the greatets mart on earth, and the most important meat-col- le>ting and distributing point. It is the largest shipping port the Great Iakes-the tonnage of it's vessels makes it of the biggest ports in the world, fact.
 All these things make Chicago the metropolis the center toward which is drawn a amount of wealth. By very force circumstances Chi caSo has become huge mart for money well q for mcrchandise. There many thousands of country banks that have money deposit with the great financial institutions of Chicago just there are other thousands of big and little banks that as necessity of their business place millions of dollars deposit with banks New York city Indeed, Chicago's bank and companies have their clients and depOstors quite many if not more out banks than New city's bankers have. There is bank in Chicago which has the accounts of about six thousand these country banks" The president of this Chicago banN-Whch is of the largest in Americ;l-Was d farmer boy. No in America closer touch with the small throughout the United States than he is Every moment he spare from his routine duties he devotes to studying the country newspapers That is of the things that have made him great, and it is because there many such in Chicago who realize that the greatness of the city is the wealth of the western empire, that Chicago has achieved the financial prc-emnence that it has.

A Most Excellent Selection

The Committee of One Hundred and Twenty Five has made a happy selection of nominees for the board of freehoders. That the gentlemen nominated will constitute the board there be doubt. there should be no opposition. A thoroughly representative and non- partisan ticket could have been selected. The members of it have been successful in their private affairs and they have the confidence of their neghbors and the community are further fitted for the work they do, by having served the former board of freehoIders
 Too great credit cannot be given the Committee of Hundred and Twenty Five. for only making this selection, but also for the harmony, energy and public spirit with which it has proceeded the work leading up this selection. Much of the work of the committee has already been accom- plished by the committee which the gentlemen who will constitute the board. members and who. therefore, presumably in accord with what has been done
 With the former charter a foundation and considerable part of the structure and with the suggestions in the of amendments. offered by the charter committee. a charter near at hand

 The tenacitY with which congress holds to it's many perquisites and privileges has been shown again during the present session.
