T HE QUIT TER

There are in the ranks OF labor,
as we'll as In all other organizations
a peculiarly inconsistent class of
people known as the cutters.
These fellows are restlesss, ener-
getic and capable, but they have
one fatal failure the lack of that
splendid quality of perseverance. J"
They run we'll" for a season, but
fail often at the very point of
achievement. We find them in the
union taking hold with rush and
a great hurrah, trying to carry
things with cyclone sweep. Big
things do not move that way at the
instant bidding of few enthusi-
astics, and, after succession OF
ineffective jerks they "cuss and
quit
These impatient fellows do great
injury to the cause in more ways
than one. Their zeal and apparent
devotion win for them positions oi
more or less prominence, so that
when they sulkily retire from the
firing line the cause not only suf
fers the less of their own persona
effort, but their quitting has a yer,
depressing effect upon the patient
and faithful plodder.

Executive Committee Of
Trades Council called In
Session by Carpenters.

The Executive Committee of
Trades Council was called into ses-
sion Thursday night by Carpenters
and Joiners' Union, No. 637. The
object of the meeting was to dis
cuss the actions of the commission
ers and the County Engineer, in
ignoring organized labor in this
county on the bridges which have
been let by them. Several mem-
bers of the Carpenters Union at
tended the meeting and related
their grievances against the COM
missioners and the County Engin
eer for their neglect in considering
union carpenters on the bridges
and union men as inspectors. The
executive committee have come to
the conclusion that men higher up
have the say as to who will be the
inspectors on county work and the
executive committee will meet with
the democratic central committee
and lay the facts before that body.
The county engineer bas led the
carpenters and the different COM
m.ttees whe went before him to
believe, that no inspectors were as
yet employed on the Middletown
bridge, The committee called lp-
on VIM. Crawford the County
Auditor and he showed the COM
mittee on the books in his office
that inspectors have been employed
seveal months ago on the Middle
town bridge.
1t is this kind of promising and
not making good that has stirred
the union men up to point where
something will have to be done.
If the committee fails to make any
impression on the executive com
mittee of the democratic central
committee, who they believe have
some say as to who shall be the in
spectors on these jobs, the carpen'
ters and the executive committee
will recommend to Trades Council
at the next meeting to enter poll
tics and a place whole independ'
ent labor ticket in the field at the
next election and thereafter
Trades Council will meet next
Tuesday night and the report will
be made at that meeting.

Source OF Labor Legislation

Two enormous volumes, aggre-
eating 2 Alb pages, are now being
sent out by the United States bu-
reau of labor statistics. They con-
tain all the labor laws in force in
the United States, with the court
decisions relating thereto. These
laws may be said to be the crystal
lied sentiment of the people Of this
country as to the rights of the wage
earner in his relation to industry.
The court decisions are the views
of the judges concerning these laws
1t is not our intention to attempt
to analytic these laws and court
decisions. Our purpose runs in a
different direction. We are in
clined to philosophize little on
the question as to what brought
these laws about and what it was
that stirred the legislators of the
country up to the point of passing
labor legislation. No one will be-
lieve that individual members of
Legislative bodies, entirely on their
own initiative. fixed up these bills
and that the legislatures passed
upon them simply because they
were convinced that it was the
right thing to do. Labor laws
don't "get by as easy as that.
The rule is that labor legislation
has hard shedding, and pressure is
always brought to bear against it..
SO something must have stirred it
up.
Some one will say that political
parties put labor planks in their
platforms, and they were carried
out as a matter of party policy.

But how did the labor planks come
to be in the platform? What stirred
the platform makers? The stirring
mad to be done somewhere. Plat
form makers don't lead in these
matters; they simply try to do the
popular thing.
There is just one force that can
be given the creoit Tor the great
body of labor laws, and that force
is organized labor Much good
work has been done by individuals
and societies outside the ranks oil
labor unions, but when the matter
is traced to its source, there will
invariably be found a committee O.

 HUMBOLDT COMET

The comet that was discovered by Capt. J A. Baughman, of the Hum boldt on her last southbound trip, was also discovered at sitka, from which town 1t was visible for several evenings, according to recent arrivals from the former capital city.
 Also vlslble at Seward.
 According to the Seward Gateway the comet was also visible at that westward city. The Gateway says:
 "A comet has made It's appearance in the northeFa-sky and was distinctly visible last night from the streets of Seward. It has been noted that e war Is always accompanied by the appear ance of such an astronomical phenom' enon and 1t reminds some people of the prophecy which reads something like there shall be wars and rumors of war and signs shall appear in the heavsns'-that Is when the end of the world is about to come-so there is hardly worth bothering about that railroad any longer"

SANJAK OF NOYILAZAR
 WAS CAUSE OF WAR


 There is no sanjnk of Novilazar any more; 1t Is divided between servia and Montenegro. But it's ghost and its regretted memory were enough, in all liklihood, to set on foot this giant war.
 The sanjak was, in 1908, a strip of land smaller than Connecticut, and with but 10000 inhabitants, belong ing without a shadow of doubt to Fur. key, If treaties could be respected. By the treaty of Berlin Austrla.Hun. gary was permitted to garrison some of its towns. but the civil administra. ton wes left to Turkey; wherein it's status differed from that of Bosnia. Herzegovina, which Austria. Hungary administered, nOminally for Turkey as suzerain.
 The saniak divided Montenegro and seryia. It was a wedge between the Southern Serbs, through which the Austrians planned to drive railway, and with It their rule, to salonica. The Austrian railway would only have been a linking of the one running up to Mitrovitza from the South with the military line from sarajevo to the servlan.Montenegro boundaries. When In oetozer, 1908, Austr!a-Hun. gary tore up the Berlin treaty and definitely annexed Bosnia.H a.Herzogovina she withdrew her troops from the san. jak, fearing armed resistances and wishing to placate Turkey. There was no war-tben; Russia had not recovered from her bout with Japan. The Austrian forward party was dis. gusted. Von Aohrenthal was almost in disgrace for overcautiousness It had not been necessary to leave the sanjak; however, they could reoccupy 1t some time. Some time' did not come. With the TripolI and Balkan wars Europe became increasingly sen sitlve. When the Balkan nations were fighting. and 1t would have been easy to seize the strip, Austria was forced by Europe to forego land-grabblng in the general interest, to prevent ex actly what has happened now.
 The murder of the Archduke gave her an opportunity. He wont to sar ajevo against the protests and en treaties of Seryian representatives in Vienna, who knew the local feeling and who had most to lose by any disturbance; and the actual murderer was an Austrian subject. However neither those facts nor tho way in which servia offered to swallow the Austrian terms-nll but allowing Aus trian officers to hold inquiries Into the murder on servlan soll-ayalled tc stop the Austrian attack aimed | straight at the sanjak.
 And then followed what has fol lowed.-New York World.

 Hasten, therefore, to enter into a council of peace. Grasp the right hand of friendship and receive a spe- cial reward from God for yourselves and your nations and earn the great est praise from the brotherhood of man"

 The Naples newspaper Mattino to- day publishes an interview with Car dinal Gibbons in which the Cardinal said that Pope Benedict had given him no special mission to request that President Wilson endeavor to bring about peace in the European war; but had instructed him to do all possible to induce American public opinion to demand peace.

 We exhort most earnestly those who govern the destiny of the nations that they should bring themselves to frame of mind whereby they may put aside all dissenslons contrary to the welfare of humanity.
 Let them realize that there already is too much suffering and sorrow at tached to this mortal life and that it should not be rendered more wretched or more sorrowful; let them realize how much ruin and disaster already has been wrought and how much hu' man blood has already been shed"
