A new DAY FOR LABOR and CAPITAL

joint product equally divided, both would
benefit by their partnership.
But the selfishness of human nature
early led the shrewder and stronger t.
appropriate to themselves more than
their share of the joint production
When, in the evolution of industry, il
became necessary sometimes to wait foi
the returns of labor, those who had ne
cumulated wealth had an advantage over
those whose daily bread depended upon
their daily toll. The former could af
ford to wait; the latter could not. So
there arose the practice of financing new
enterprises, and paying wages before the
product of the work became available.
Wealth so employed came to be known
as capital, and its owner, in return foi
its use and for the risks involved, was
recognized as being entitled to fai
share of the returns.
In economic discussions, the term cap
ital usually designates the human eIe
ment whose wealth enables it to become
the employer; while labor refers to
those who work for wages-the EN-
ployes. Among the membership of the
Denver labor bulletin., 1916-09-30

Capital is defined as wealth employed
in production" Labor may be defined
as human energy employed for the same
purpose. The two forces combined make
available the wealth bound up in the
resources of nature. The beasts of field
and wood; the fowls of the air; the
fishes of the sea; the products of the
soil; the store houses of forests and
mines; the power of falling water or
moving wind, of stream, and of that
mysterious agent, electricity-all are po-
tential with wealth; but the genius and
labor of man are required to utilize them.
In its most primitive form, produc-
tion was limited to plucking fruit and
capturing animals and birds and fishes
for daily consumption. When circum-
stances demanded the storing of supplies
in seasons of plenty for times of need,
the accumulation of wealth began. Then
also began the distinction that still
exists between those whose genius directs
and those who simply perform the tasks
assigned to them. Both classes are es-
sential to production, and were their

EMPLOYERS PROMOTING THRIFT
Chicago Workers Given Opportunity of
Saving for Rainy Day"

There is an effort going on among EN-.
ployers in Chicago to encourage thrift
among their employes-to get them to
save some of their money for future in
vestment and rainy days. One way pur.
sued to encourage thrift is to take an
employees bank book on pay day and
return it with such part of his pay a.
he desires credited in it. This makes n
sure thing OF his saving, and relieves him
of all trouble. 1t begets and confirms
the habit of economy, and before the
employe knows it he has a comfortable
sum in the bank.
Another way is for the company to
use the employees savings, thru a definite
agreement, and pay him or per cent,
and thus use his savings in the conduct
of its business. Still another way is for
the company to add l or per cent to
the per cent allowed at the bank
This is an expense of course, upon tho
business, but it has been found TO pay
Other methods are adopted, and they all
benefit both employer and employe.

ATTRACTS BUSINESS MEN.

Mr.. Hughes has not tried to scare
anybody. but has merely portrayed
the errors of the present Administra-
ton and set forth certain principles
on which the affairs of the country
should be managed in the future.
There is a political logic in this por-
trayal, the elimination of which in the
mind of the voter is expressed by the
frequent remark:
HE is the kind of man we want to
steer US through"
This has been said by many a busi-
ness man. The qualities seen in Mr..
Hughes are poiSe, a strong. sane mind,
sincerity and a willingness to sacrifice
life, physical or political, to the good
of the country. Nor is there any Ques-
ton as to the quality of nerve to meet
the emergencies of the four years be-
ginning March 4, 1917.

AS "PRETTY GOOD FELLOW"

Fargo. N. D.-Charies. e. Hughes
campaigned for the first time among

fellow"
He was forced to undergo critical
scrutiny before the verdict was given.
Mr.. Hughes preached the doctrines
of government efficiency. American
ism. tariff as protection to the farm
ers and preparedness. and In each In
stance won applause. despite the fact
that the farmers are not the strong
est advocates of the last named issue
They cheered for preparedness the

n'xInlErs War COST LESS
sl00DsHEB THAN Wilson'S PEACE
BY Theodore Roosevelt.

Under President Mckinley we
had war with Spain. Under
President Wilson we are assured
that we have had peace" with
Mexico These are the words.
Now for the deeds During the
war with Spain fewer Americans
were killed by the Spaniards
than have been killed by Mexi-
cans during the present peace"
with Mexico. Let me repeat
this. A greater number of Amer
leans have been killed by
Mexicans during these years,
when we are officially informed
that we have been at peace with
them, than were killed by the
Spaniards during our entire war
with Spain. Moreover when the
war with Spain was through. it
was through. But peace still con-
tinueS to rage as furiOusly as
ever in Mexico. Nor is this
ALL The instant effect of the
outcome of the war with Spain
was TO put stop to the dread
luk DutCucTy anu SIdTVaI1On In
Cuba and the Philippines, and
the entry of both Cuba and the
Philippines on a career of eight
cen years of peace and pros
perity such as they had never
known before in all their check
cred history. But during these
three years of Mr.. Wilson's
peace" the Mexicans them
selves have been butchered by
their own bandits steadily and
without intermiSSion and Mexi-
can women and children have
died by thOusands-probab by
scores of thOusands-of starva-
ton, and of the diseases incident
to starvation. In other words,
Mr.. McKinley's war cost less
peace; and it rejected high hon
or on the American people;
whereas Mr.. Wilson's peace
has been one Of shame and dis
honor for the American people,
and one of ruin and bio6dshed
for the Mexicans.
