Minister Makes Correction.

Editor Vrginian
Sir,~-ln the report of my address
TO The Tuesday Club at the r. r. Y.
NJ. G. A, there are two mistakes which
J. think are OF sufficient Importance
to correct. The first Is, taat said.
The world viii never be saved until
every man equally divides with his
fellow man; and the second is, "a
man, or employer. has no right to
take the best Of a workers strength
and not pay minimum wage" | was
discussing the law of love. as applied
to economics and industrial relations;
and ] said. 'to love ones neighhor as
ones self demands that the men WAC
produce wealth should share equitably
in the wealth produced, not equally.
No man believes that men are under
obligation to divide their wealth equal
~ with All others To do SO would
only encourage laziness and shiftless
ness; but no man will deny that the
men who labor together in n bust
ness enterprise as capitalist and la
borer. as employer and emplove
should share equitahly in the wealth
produced by the enterprise. The CO..
operative principle in business is based
on the high ethical principal of love
thy neighbor as myself" and Is also
good business. They are many large
business enterprises which VIII tes-
tify to this statement
AS to the second error. | said "anY
man who takes the full working time
of another person. especially young
woman, was under obligation to the
law of love to pay" not minimum
wage. but a living wage; that is, a
wage sufficient to maintain her in
health and comfort. and In efficiency
This was a recognized obligation IN
faltdo Hattie no
system was in vogue. | do not know
Just how many girls have been thrust
into life of vice because of necessity
or industrial oppression, and | do not
think II is as great a cause as many
seem to think. That it is cause
however. there is no doubt
Now. Mr.. Editor. let me interpret
the law of love as l understand II and
apply 1t to these conditions.
First society owes to every clild
the privilege of the highest develop
ment of which It is capable. This is
the basis OF our splendid public school
system This system should prepare
the child to perform all its functions,
both public and private, TO society,
Second, it should grant to every
person the opportunity to make liv-
ing and to share eauitably in the
wealth ne or she creates The first
uutJ Oh every man IL 10 DE eii-stip-
porting-to make his own living, and
not he a parasite on society.
Third. every individual owes to So
ciety the best and noblest efforts Of
which mis- developed faculties and
powers are capable. The man who
only does what he gets paid for will
only get paid for what he does The
man who only works when the boss
is looking is not an honest man. Tne
employer owes to his men his love
and care. and the emplova owes to
him his love and good will. Both
should feel that they are laborers to-
gether for the common good.

with the allies. Add to this the as
sistauce of the Balkan States, and in
the south of Europe things will ne
going ali the allies way.
In Poland, Germany is winning a
victory which should console her for
the passing of the Darianelles to Rus
STA. Russia in turn would doubtless
be willing to exchange contror OF
Poland for the Dardanelles, although
1t may he questioned whether she
would give ali of Poland.
In the west, the passage of another
winter would probably SO strengthen
the British and French armies that
the push" promised for last May will
do not say that at any precise mo-
ment OF this season the German tide
VIII be at its flood, but ii Is our view
that peace within this fall and winter
would he vastly to the German taste.
IF not, it ought to be. She now could
demand indemnities for Poland and
Belgium or suzerainty over them.
Another year and she might have to
pay indemn mites equally as 'aeavy. Now
Is Germanys tire---or' never.

DISCUSSING THE VICTORY.

Comment on the new German at
titude towards ttlls country continues.
Not satisfied with the German decla-
ration. many are endeaverlng to find
Z cause for H. Some think the Kaiser
and Bsthmann-H ollweg were always
/. opposed 10 the submarine war and
have finally broken with Admiral Won
Tsrplsz. whom they hold responsible
for the sea outrages. Those of the
Roosevelt type, including the Colonel

declaration of position must he In

be taken as the best among the scant
evidences Of approaching peace. or
Willingness for peace. The inauiring
note as to the extent of the German
change of attitude indicates a de-
sire OF the British to force this coun-
