but it takes the best people in the
world to live under it." The pre-
sumption here is that men who
represents their several communi-
ties would be moved to the per-
formance Of their duties by sense
of honor and integrity.
But how are we tosbe saved from
the predictament in which we find
ourselves when, electing a rich
representative to the state or ma
tional Legislature, we find him leg
islating in the interest of the rich,
or, electing a poor representative
in this sad age of money madness,
we find him either legislating in
the interest of labor unions or sup
porting measures initiated by the
agents of corporations thereby pro-
tecting his future against finan-
cial distress.
The whole situation presents
the spectacle of a titanic struggle
for class supremacy in govern
ment with the public only occas-
ionally if ever considered. In the
meantime the press, through law

so ingratiate themselves in the
peoples confidence that they can
and often do without general sus-
picion alternately support CORPORA
tions when satisfactorily seen"
and labor unions when political
expedience demands.
However, if this triangular sit
uation must eventuate in class SUI
premacy, | think the whole Negro
race will welcome triumph of the
class that offers Negroes an oppor-
tunity to live by their labor, and
have something to renumerate
them for service rendered. By
their discriminatory practices labor
unions have amply satisfied think
ing Negroes that that the later
need expect nothing from the for
mer's success; that their cause is
particularly their own, and finally
that what is food for the laboring
element of whites is poison for Ne
groes.
Forming a constituent of the
public above referred to, Negroes
should contribute their ardent sup
port in solving the problems and
remedying the evils that affiict it.

and other strikes where a teu per

The natural trend of the modern
mind seems directed toward organ
ization, the pooling of interests on
a larger scale for the promotion
of causes which these organi-
cations represent.
The right to organize is generally
conceded to any individual or set
of-individnals who may SO, desire,
presuming of course, that the OBJ
ject of organization is in the in
terest of society. The bane or
benefcence of such corporations
is mainly determined by the mag
nanimity or aggrandizing spirit Of
the individuals who dominate
them.
Capital, combined TO reduce the
cost of production and put life's
necessities nearer the consumer,
is laudable; just as is labor organ
lied for the betterment of condi-
tions under which they toll, the
protection of their rights and pro-
motion Of their common interests.
Yet society can no more escape
the baneful effects of wealth Or
ganized with monopolistic intent,
selfish and aggrandizing in its
operations and burdeuing the con-
sumer with extortion ale prices;
than it can the inconvenience, bur-
dens and ofttimes actual suffering
resulting from conflict between
capital and labor which is too fire.
quentIy caused by sensational un-
ion leaders who are consumed with
a desire for press notoriety and
public notice. When capital and
labor disagree the public is invar-
iably the sufferer. This makes a
higher quality of leadership in or
ganizations to be desired. But
the industrial conditions which
afflict society and continually
growing worse seem impossible Of
amelioration so long as the press,
the source of public information,
are on the one hand subsidized by
corporations which they must
serve, and on the other hand they
will not brave the political worth
of labor by publishing true and
accurate accounts of pernicious
union activities. :
This leaves a patient and lorg
suffering public victims of condi-
tions difficult of remedy. To has
ten the millennium 10y legislation
has long since been discarded as
the theory of dreamers, under the
circumstances remedial legislation
under our form of governm ent
strikes one as remote possibly
any way.

THERE is little that any organized ef-
fort can accomplish in the publishing pro-
fession, outside the placing of the bust
ness on high plane Of ethics, and a
moral attitude towards all civilized forms
Of government. One Of the local editors
of the Eastern Shore recently stated the
facts which face most editors of weekly
newspapers in the following words
There is always a choice for an Fdi-
tor of a County Paper. He NAV decide
to 60 to sleep on his job, to slick down
the fur of the lawless element and to
gloss over their sins for a consideration
and to puff up the Politician who always
has certain money to spend, and who is
willing to spend it. On the other hand
he may stand by the public-at large and
hight their fight Also he must be aware
OF the fact that the politicians and the
lawbreakers exert a tremendous influence
and that they fight back like the very
devil himself, and that they shoot in the
oar k, and pull wires, and exert Influence.
and cut of revenues, and blackeu repu-
tations. That is the chance the County
Editor takes, and he should take it with
his eyes open. Also, he should be aware
that the public may be entirely in svm
pathy with his work, and vet give no
tangible expression of that sympathy
This IS as 1t is, but not as it should be"
If the editor of weekly paper has the
realizing sense Of what news is, and how
It should be presented to his readers. then
is he clothed with the real armor which
must protect his work as a journalist. for
the public is willing to let news Of pub
lie general interest engross its attention.
but when the private matters of individ-
uals is encroached upon, and the morbid
crimes OF degenerates are held up as the
leading reading matter Of a local paper. !
then that particular newspaper must drop |
TO low scale in its influence upon a |
community. The publishing business is
) matter of competition, and the adjust
neut of its failure or success will be but
title influenced by organization for trade
purposes. All organization must neces-
arily be for the purpose of keeping the
usiness upon a high plane of business
nd moral ethics, and this was shown at ,
ie recent meeting of the Delmarvia Press I
ssociation at Ocean City, Nd, which
as attended by ali the leading publish
s Of the peninsula. VI

THE tenderest sympathy of the Amer
ican people has gone out to their Presi
dent in the darkest hour of trouble, when
his wife died at the White House last
week. It was not generally known tnat
Mrs. Wilson was in a serions condition,
but Brights disease, the malady which
ended her splendid life, worked quickly.
The death of a wife of unusual ability,
who had been the reliance and encourag-
ing support in all Of his active life, is a
terrible blow to any person under any
condition, but for it to fall at a time when
the President was under a pressure of
cares Of worldwide importance, the blow
is terrible. In her peaceful resting place
in the Georgia graveyard, Mrs. Wilson is
free from care and pain, but the man who
is the President of one Of the great coun-
tries of earth, he must face the great
problems of life not only for himself, but
for the people of the entire nation. Let
us remember that he is the President of
all the people and uphold his efforts for
peace and prosperity, and at the same
time express our tender sympathy for
fellow man in affection.
