INDUSTRIAL EVOLUTION
AND CLASS STRUGGLE
by JOHN c. WANHOPE

In feudal times. when the noble
lord dined, those not possessing the
rank or title sat elbow the salt In the
lofty dining hall of the castle. OF
course God assigned the guests to
their respective placse; He placed the
nobles and knights and the honored
ones OF the head, and those who were
not mobiles and knights He seated be
low the salt" which seemed to be the
dividing line.
Great changes have taken place in
the world since then. Industrial evolu,
| ton has In a way abolished many old
customs. and the march of the centur-
les has left them behind in the wake
of human progress, to be examined by
antiquarians and those who love to
delve in the dust of past ages.
But great many relics of old ideas
are still doing duty in the human
brain. The divinely assigned places of
those of inferior station still hold
good. As the descendants of those
who sat below the salt" the modern
wage workers are still in the same
seat the Almighty placed for them in
ages gone His DEGREES are irrevocable
as regards inferiority, but as Taft and
others say, "he works in a mysterious
way His wonders to perform"
II
a slave had no soul. just rs some peo-
pie contended that a black man was
not human being. Most people will
now concede that 1t was wrong view
They will admit he had soul and was
human. The slave and serf have evolv
ed into the present wage worker and
still 'sit below the salt" He occu-
pies an inferior position; he is n work
animal. who may or may not be con-
sidered, just as policy directs. But,
lurking in the brain is the idea that
he, the worker" is inferior and with
out rank or title.
The Exposition.
In the city of San Francisco, just in
side the Golden Gate, the most beau
tiful and artistic of all international
expositions is now complete. The
buildings, with their domes. towers,
statuary and artistic surroundings
a magnificent monument to those who
designed and built them; thousands of
workers in the past few years have
given their skill, their strength and
their health. They have toiled in the
sun and rain and fog. Their very lives
have been sacrificed in the risky and
hazardous work of climbing hundreds
of feet in the air in the necessary act
of erecting these structures. During
all this period those who were engag-
ed to labor were "graciously" given
passes of admittance to the grounds
and numerous guards were employed
to see that no wage slave could get
in without the necessary permission.
These passes were good for two daily

DOUBLY ENSLAVED

Though whipt, though shackeled
though in bondage pent,
No slave is he who struggles to be
free;
But slave indeed-aye, twice en-
shaved is he
Who bears his servitude in dull con-
tent!

81 confess without shame that | am
tired and sick of war. It's glory is all
moonshine. Even success the most
brilliant, is over dead and mangled
bodies; the anguish and lamentations
of distant families appealing to me for
missing sons, husbands and fathers.
1t is only those who have not heard
a shot nor heard the shrieks and
groans of the wounded and lacerated,
that cry aloud for more blood, more
vengeance, more desolation. War is
ell!"-William Tecumseh Sherman.

CUISINES"

Commerce has set the mark Of self
ishness,
The signet of it's all-enslaying power
Upon a shining ore. and called It gold;
Before whose image bows the vulgar
great,
The vainly rich, the miserably proud,
The mob of peasants, mobiles, priests
and kings,
And with blind feelings reverence the
power
That grinds them to the dust of
misery,
But in the temple of their hireling's
hearts
Gold is living God, and rules in scorn
All earthly things but virtue.

holiday. Why Because II II

SO on June 81 everybody cele-
brates. There are picuics every

walton from which one can best
watch the near.departure OF the
midnight sun. At Fairbanks and
several other towns where
league games commonly are
played at o'clock In the oven

baseball game. very special
privileges being extended to the
small boy for the occasion. In
deed. this going TO bed in the

beautiful are the long sunsets
that become long sunrises with

conducting their annual entertainment
courses as usual, the schedule consisting
of concerts and lectures; and it is decided
" gratifying to learn that most Of the
courses are meeting with success as indi-
Gated by large audiences. Such enter
tainments are bound to contribute largely
to the intellectual life of these Vermont
towns and villages and thus to be OF
great benefit to the people. They serve
to bring the smaller communities into
closer touch with the higher and better
things of the day; and they also relieve
