Very vigorous growth during the first

\ Demonstration of Industry.

Probably no capitalist has ever publicly advo-
Gated more advanced programme OF social re-
form measures than did Daniel Guggenhem,
president of the American Smelling and Refining
Company. before the Federal Commission on In
duStial Relations yesterday. The "democratiza-
ton of industry" he called it, 1t is trite, even
for capital nowadays, to admit that the working
men have as much right to unite-to unionize
themselves-as capital has. Mr.. Guggenheim
adds to that profit sharing, federal guarantee Of
employment or care for the unemployed, and
health and old age insurance, with side word
for government ownership of railroads Moreover,
there is no shrinking from the name socialism
or the fact that those who have will have to pay,
in taxes to carry out these proposed remedies for
existing evils.
Mr.. Guggenheim says he believes that employ
ers are gradually coming to realize the truth Of
these theories and to endeavor to put them into
practice, 50 far they 1t is true that
many great corporations in the last few years
have established forms Of profit sharing and have
set up social welfare departments for their en-
ployes, with sick benefits, old age retirement
funds and the like. These things are good. Yet,
with all this, and with the constant advancement
of labor unionism which in its higher grades now
treats almost on an equality with capital, there
goes abroad ever-growing demand (such as
Mr.. Guggenheim expressed) for measures of re-
lief from the state, not from employers or from
philsnthropsts.
The workmcn's compensation laws find more
favor with the average workman than any ad-
iustmcnt of damages from an employer ever did
The empoye regarded the latter as poorly dis
guised charity; he considers the former matter
between him and the state Of which he forms
part. If the sentiment which brought about the
passage of the workmen's compensation laws and
minimum wage laws in several states is any ndi-
cation. the demand for the characterization of in
dustries will continue TO be impressed on employ
ers and on the state.
There has been much protest during the discus
sion Of relief projects for the unemployed, against
municipal activities and municipal help. the
ground that those would tend to pauperze the
recipients. This turning 10 the government for
relief in emergency actually indicates survival
of sturdy sort Of independence desire to have
help from the state, in which the unfortunate,
by virtue Of being human being, has some part
rather than from an individual or a charitable
organization.

While the Hon. Josephus Daniels, admiral Of
the water wagon, is busy reforming his floating
university. his newspaper down in Raleigh, N
C.. the celebrated "News and Observer" is drift
ing along pretty much as ever. That is TO say,
il prints the worst kind Of patent medicine sd-
vertsements- including some that are too strong
even for Mr. Hearst-it prints them reading
matter. thereby violating the postal laws, and it
includes on the list several of the best known
booze medicines-not forgetting DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp Root Kidney Remedy.
The violation of the postal regulations re-
spectfully refer to Mr.. Danielss associate, Mr.
Burleson the Postmaster General. This can be
stopped overnight by the simple expedent of eX
GLIDING the publication from the mails We shall
be interested to see now promptly the machinery
Of Mr.. Burleson's department works now that
its memory is logged The patent medicine ad
yertisements are so prettily strewn throughout
the pages of the News and Observer"-the is
sue of January 49, for example-that il is quite
impossible TO tell without thorough reading
whether you are getting the latest Raleigh news
or the latest trick ad. Of liver pill. Mr.. Daniels
is very forward looking at Washington. In thus
making I'D his home sheet he is more backward
looking than the ordinary country weekly.
As for the demon rum raging through the
News and Observer" columns, the good old Kill
mer Swamp Root contains only some 10 per cent
Of alcohol, but that has proved enough to give
great deal of satisfaction in many communities as
enlightened as Raleigh. So, too, Of Lydia Pink

take day of and put the "News and Observer"
on the water wagon.
