views of the heads of the metropolitan

TO afford reason for crowds to assemble
in the London streets Therefore it is also
expected that the king will dispense with
the guard that it is usual to post outside

GETTING US, TOO. "UnskiIled
labor is mere animated machinery"
This statement of Prof. Stevenson's
gives the viewpoint not only of
Rockefeller, but of. the majority of
employers. It is another way of say
ing that men are cheap, unless we
abolish the conditions which cause
this. Our country will, in a not far
distant day, be in the same predica-
ment England finds herself in at pres
ent, as described by your special
writer, Mr.. Russell He informs us
that England is suffering from the
failure of the crop of men, caused by
bad working and housing conditions.
The condition of English labor
changed for the worse when her
lands were concentrated in large es-
tates and the commons enclosed,
thus forcing many families to crowd
into the cities.
Here in this country the same
causes have been at work in the form
of land speculation, which has had
the effect of putting the price of land
so high as to be beyond the working
mans reach.
1t does not take genius to discov-
er that when land is held at present
high prices the workingman's oppor-
tunities for self-employment in the
settled portions of this country are
practically nil
He is forced to work for starvation
wages in some factory, the owner of
which CONTEMPORARY regards him
as so much animated machinery"
and he is fast losing the attributes of
manhood and degenerating into a
cringing, covering ickspittle, afraid
of his job" ~. w.

eventually led to a compromise and
the erection of Judge O'Gorman.
Col. Roosevelt did not seem to be es-
peclally interested in this part OF the
testimony. He sat AT his counsel table
inulling over a stack of letters which
mad been handed to him by John Nc

the Colonel read magazines and moved
around comforting with his friends.

Next Mr.. Van Benschoten brought up
the HInman-Green direct primaries

Senate in 1910 by Mr.. Human but
which was killed by the organization
although Gov. Hughes was warmly sup

Z what you are trying to prove seems
