AS TO PEACE

AT the hour Of going to press
there is fear being expressed that
the peace negotiations will be

is not so and that the mantle of
peace will again envelop our fair
land like a comforter, instead OF
the crazy quilt of war.
All we can do is to trust that
the negotiations will come to
fruitful ending, war, in THE CA

MISUSE OF PRISON LABOR.
Exploitation of Conviots to Cease In
Chicago's 5rideweIl

CE1Icago's BrtdeWetl.
The announcement that after May
the contract system of disposing of
the prison labor in the bridewell will
be abolished. and that earnings Of 4
man serving a sentence, after mainte-
nance charges have been deducted, will
go to his dependents, is encouraging.
The misuse of prison labor has long
been a blot upon the community. 1t
thrived not because there was any
merit or justice I'm it. but because GER
tain politicians and their friends had
to make easy money at the expense Of
the public some way.
There Is much work to be done for
the city that can be done by the pris
oners in the bridewell They can man
ufacture a number OF articles and ma
terials for which the city now goes TO
private employers.
Aside for the financial saving to the
community, however, the abolition Of
prison labor contracts is certain TO
elevate the tone of the prisoner He
is likely to come out better man
after his term in the brideweIl has
expired The self respect when comes
from being employed at useful labor
and of getting the prevailing rate Of
wages is incalculable 1t has proved
so In other states.-C Chicago Tribune.

women Should oraa ME.

Miss Agnes Peterson, secretary Of
the women's and children'S department
of the Minnesota state labor bureau,
in a recent address at St Paul, said
the crying need of the times is for
higher wages for wage earning women
One of the principal reasons women
are not receiving proper wages is that
they are unorganized. When the work
ing women can band themselves into
organizations they will form vast
army that will compel the employers
to pay them higher wages. The wo-
men are slow in organizing because
they cannot see their needs. Working
girls are much like society girls. They
readily join clubs and societies for so
cial purposes, but they will not join
an organization for such purpose as
bettering their working conditions.

LABOR AND TRUSTS.

Organizations Of laborers exist
because of human needs. They
seek human welfare aud better
, ment. They control only hu-
man labor power, one insepara-
BILE from their very life.
Commercial and industrial as
sociations are organized for prof
its. They seek Industrial con
troll, supremacy over competitors.
They deal in material things-the
products Of labor
Labor power is a part of hui
, man beings. 1t is throbbing.
pulsating life.
Material things are for the
service of human beings. They
, are external and appropriate.
To classify organizations of hui
) man laborers who possess only
the power to labor with organ
; iZations which deal in the prod
ucts of that labor and to place
) both kinds of organizations un-
der the same regulation estab-
fishes conditions that can result
only in injustice.
1t is against the injustice of in
terpreting the Sherman antitrust
act to apply to organizations of
workingmen organized not for
profit that the workers have
made their protest American

PR0NOUNClNG ENGLISH.
Going Astray on the Correct Use of
"u'' and sew" Sounds.

Going Astray on the Correct Use of
"u" and sew Sounds.
A curious feature Of the English Ian
guage as 1t is spoken in this part of
the United States is the prevalence OF
dual system OF pronunciation. The
dictionaries tell us unequivocally that
we should pronounce dew" knew"
and stew as we do few" and that
student" stupid" and similar words
should be enunciated as if they were
spelled "stieudent" and stupid
Nobody, apparently. disputes the cor
rectness of this manner OF pronounc-
ing "u' and 'ew'-yet here is rule
very much more honored in the breach
than in the observance. Except for
stage folks, the faculties and some of
the students OF schools and colleges
and few persons who make a point of
precise speaking, the academic sound
of u" is disregarded almost univer
sally.
1t is by no means through ignorance
that people say ''stoo" and "stoopid. :
There are worthy persons who seem
to feel that a good American really
ought to say 'stoo" and "stoopid." :"
They think. apparently, that the ortho-
dox ''u" and "ew" are Anglicisms and
are used in this country only by per-
sons pedantic or affected"
or course. for all practical purposes
one way of pronouncing is as good as
another and usage has made both
forms correct Nevertheless. the right
use of u" and "ew" adds music and
variety to the English language, and
the younger generation might do well
to pronounce according to the diction-
ary and gradually overcome an Amer
icanism" that has no real good excuse
for being. Rochester Democrat and
