AN ANSWER WANTED.
The Question Propounded Is, When Is
an Engineer Not an Engineer?

The Question Propounded Is When Is
an Engineer Not an Engineer?
This is not a conundrum, but plain
question that needs a specific answer,
judging from the indiscriminate use Of
the word. We answer that an engineer
is not an engineer when he is a fire
man or an oiler or an engine starter,
not until he is capable of operating or
Of directing the operation of steam
power plant.
How foolish, then, is the following
advertisement that appeared recently
in a New York daily newspaper:
Engineer wanted, elderly man, third class
license. attend boiler only; wages, IS.
An engineer knows how the various
appliances in a steam plant operate,
what to do in case they do not work
efficiently, how to handle men and how
to plan for improvement and new in
stallations. Such men do not work for
SS a week
Evidently a man is wanted to throw
coal into the furnace of boiler, and
he will have nothing to do with an en-
CINE or a real engineers job. A man
with a fireman's license could fill the
Job as well as third class engineer
If one would work for the wage of
fered, which is doubtful.-Power.

LUCK IN A BLUNDER.
A Story of Frederick the Great and a
Frightened Ensign.

Frightened Ensign.
During the last evening OF my stay
at Friedrichsruhe Bismarck was at his
best He was in excellent spirits.
After dinner we lit pipes. and well fill
ed tankards of beer were handy The
prince seated himself In his long arm
chair, put his feet upon leg rest, and
evidently he was settled down for a
good talk.
He asked me what / should like him
to relate. said Pray. sir. tell me
any story that comes into your head"
Putting vigorously at his pipe, the fol,
lowing story was slowly developed:
"My grandfather served for three
years under Frederick the Great and
told me this anecdote: An ensign made
a blunder during the maneuvers OF
troops at review The king, as was
his wont when annoyed. fell into VIC
lent rage and pursued the terrified en-
sign, stick in hand The young soldier
ran for very life and jumped ditch,
leaving the king upon the other side
shaking his stick at him in fury.
Shortly after the escape of the en-
sign the colonel of the regiment came
up to the king and said Your majesty
the young man committed blundeT
doubtless. have just received his res.
ignation from your majesty's service,
placing the document into the kings
hands. 4 am sorry for 1t, for he was q
good officer. out he can take no other
step under the circumstances.
"The king answered. Send him to
me- The ensign was sent for and
came, trembling. lest this time the
stripes should in reality fall upon bis
shoulders or. still worse. he might be
sent to prison. Without any preface
the king replied. Here Is your captain
cy, sir, which endeavored to give you
this morning. but you ran away sc
swiftly that my old legs could moi

CONVICT LABOR PROBLEM.
Minnesota Labor Federation Suggests
Feasible Solution.

feasible Solution.
The solution of the convict labor
problem urged by the Minnesota State
Federation Of Labor is attracting gen
eral attention Summarized. this
plan Is:
First.-Work on public domain where
the laborer or convict can be utilized
in road building and land reclamation.
Second.-The securing by the state
of sufficient land for the operation of
penal farms, the products of which
shall not be sold in the open market,
but shall be sold exclusively to the
penal, correctional and charitable in
stitutions of the state and of the va
rious state subdivisions.
Third For those prisoners whom 1T
will be impossible and unwise to en-
ploy in either of the foregoing direc-
lions 1t Is recommended that indus
tries be established within the prisons
whose products shall be sold exclu-
sively to the state and its subdivisions
and the profits from all sales over and
above the cost of maintaining the in
dustries or farms or road building to
be devoted to the support of the pris-
oners' families.

UNIONS WISE STAND.
Carpenters Organization Opposed to
Sympathetic Strikes.

Sympathetic Strikes,
Sympathetic strikes are no longer TO
be recognized as legitimate weapons by
the International Brotherhood Of Car
penters and Joiners of America, and
the stand of that great organization
should be commended by every other
trade union Of good repute. says the
Typogra phical Journal. In an address
before the recent convention of the In
ternational Photo-engrayer union at
indianapolis Frank Duffy, general sec
retary Of the carpenters organization,
opposed sympathetic strikes or strikes
which have their origin solely in juris-
dictional disputes. 1t has often hap
pened that union men who have salts
factory agreements with their employ
ers are called on to quit work because
of some unwelcome and wholly foreign
factor which has been introduced.
The Carpenters union" said Mr..
Duffy, has decided that it will not
stand for any more Of this kind OF bust
ness Hereafter when a question Of
jurisdiction arises on a job Of work,
the carpenters will remain at work. in
fairness to the contractor or builder,
regardless Of what anybody else may
do"
Nj Duffy makes a clear distinction
between disputes that amount only to
quarrels among unions and disputes
between unions and the employers in
volving questions Of wages, hours or
working conditions. Many contractors
have suffered in the past because Of in
ternal disputes among the labor unions.
In such affairs questions of labor or
wages do not enter. Yet the contractor
is dragged into the quarrel

RIGHTS OF LABOR.

The point is that, as a result
of the decisions of courts, the la
Dor unions are today existing In
violation of law and by the mere
sufferance of the department of
justice. This Is situation
which should not be tolerated.
1t is no longer mooted ques-
tion that organized labor proper
ly directed performs a highly
benefcent purpose in our eco
nomic system and Is dominat-
Ing force In the conservation Of
human life and energy and of
the future of the race. No one
would contend today that it
should be under the ban of the
law, although it is not so many
} years since such contentious re-
ceived serious attention.
There is no reason why labor
should not have the same right
to combine to meet such COM
binations of capital. yet it has
been denied that right by the
construction placed upon the
law, which 1t is now sought TO
correct Samuel Untermyer.

Covers the history requirements for
the sixth year. 1t is distinguished
by it's extraordinarily picturesque style.
Each of the fourteen chapters is pre-.
coded by colored picture, illustrating
some dramatic incident in the text to
which the pupil is constantly looking
forward Each chapter is made up or
three parts; an account for the pupil
to read, a summary to study, and a
few leading facts to memorize. The
reading portion is as interesting as
any story to the child, whose attention
is held by graphic accounts of the
principal incidents in the growth and
development of the country. Through
out, the appeal is made to the fondness
of the young for adventure, heroic
deeds, and dramatic events. Apt
quotations from standard poems will
encourage a broader reading Of litera-
ture. Besides the color pictures, there
are in the book many other illustra-
tions and also numerous maps.
