GIVE oLD-TIME CONCERT
Unique and Successful Affair Given by

Old time singers-and some VINO

costumes sang old time songs and
played old tunes IN a unique Singh

Tuesday evening to a large audience.
AS something different, entertaining
and amusing, the effort was a distinct
success and profited the society some
thing over $50.
The numbers ranged all the way
from "one parte" songs and whistling
solo-which by the way was quite the
musical effort of the evening-to tries
on wind instruments and vocal quar-,
tets, including the unspeakable one.

the local baseball team, but hurried
action by Manager Boyle has resulted
in not only meeting the emergency, but
possibly in Strengthening the team.
Tonsilitis and quinsy have been preva-
lent among the players for the past
two weeks, and Prough's condition was
such Tuesday that Manager Boyle or
dered him to return home.
The first baseman has been on the
playing field at times when his tenn
perature was above normal, and
physician who examined him on hts
return to this city declared he was at
a loss to account for Prough being
able to play the game at all, as his
condition was such as to cause some
apprehension. The abscess broke while
Prough was on his way to this city,
and Tuesday evening he was much I'M
proved. He will, however, remain out
Of the game until he has completely
recovered.
But the luck was not all against the
home club. Manager Boyle received
word Tuesday morning that Catcher

trail league star, whose services had
been sought all winter. had been
awarded to Marshalltown. Later ia
the day Beyers arrived in the city and
left last night to join the club at

TRY EFFICIENCY ON

While efficiency" experts are los

Ing, organized charity ia in sore need
OF one Of these so-called ''engineers''
to put It on a Taylor system basis, it
this editorial by the New York
World states the case:
Further light on the growth OF Or
ganized charity as a gaintul occupa-
ton is furnished by the report of in
vestigators for the New York school of
philanthropy. They find that more
than 1000 men and women in New
York city make q living ill., social work
supported by private philanthropy.
One social worker is paid $4,000 a
year, eight receive $4,000 or more,
and the salaries Of 759 subordi-
mates aggregate $859,000 annually
Altogether the salaried work
ers in the private charities Of
the city are as numerous as authors,
editors, reporters, civil engineers and
surveyors, and they form larger
group than clergymen, architects,
dentist or chemists.
'Surely an excellent record of de-
velopment for comparatively young
industry. Conceived as a white-co
lar charity for the support of de-
serving persons looking for an occu-
patton that is entirely respectable
and not arduous, organized social
work is an admirable institution. 1t
is something to provide for the finan-
cial needs Of 1000 citizens annually.
Tested by results in the way of direct
social service and uplift of economy
and efficiency in humanitarian relief,
after the due disbursements have been
made for rents, furnishings, salaries
for managers, supervisors, agents, in
pectors, stenographers, expenses for
stationery, postage and what not
estimates of the net profit to society
of the lavish expenditure for social
work are not SO easy.
1T is cleas that the middleman
furnishes the same problem for phil
anthrOpy as for regular forms of in
dustry. Here again the point is to
bring the producer in closer touch
with the consumer and effect econ
omies Of distribution which are i'm
possible under the present Wasteful
methods. Private charity in particu-
lar has much to gain in efficiency
from the abolition of sinecures and
the elimination of extravaganza.

THE POVERTY OF THE RAILROADS,

planning to the tax collector that you continuing
your business only charity to the public to have
bookkeeper in and congratulate you on your
unprecedented profits That is exactly what is happen
ing to the railroads.
Just the railroad publicity agents have finished
explaining that to reduce the of their employees
would positively bankrupt every road in the country
and compel great increase in rates. the Bureau of
Railway Economics of the federal hands out
statement that threatens to spoil the whole game,
According to this statement which made up from the
official reports of the roads, the of American
railroads in the eight months ending l. shows

Commenting on the prospect for the remainder of
the year. the bureau heartlessly remarks If this

profit of more than 1871 900 00O."
Now the widest estimates of the cost of the in
creased wages and shorter hours is only $40
and since except the most expert railroad stas
ticans believe that it will cost than this
sum- it would that there would be several pennies
between the roads and bankruptcy IL the unions get

STILL FAR FROM SALVATION,

1t seems that The Leader was somewhat prem ature
in haling the conversion of the Methodist Episcopal
church to the gospel of decent living for workers. AL
though the report favorng organized labor was almost
unanimously adopted by the original committee when
it before the conference it defeated by vote
of 447 to $50.
The debate of which the Methodist church
will some time be most heartily ashamed. Federal
Judge John M, Kis made speech that was strangely
OF those reported to have been delivered
the prosecutors OF certain Nazarene Carpenter some
1900 years ago.
The Pharisees denounced the unions because some
of them draw the color ne Yet there still large
division of the Methodist church which was founded
for the of maintaining negro slavery There are
far fewer unions than churches that refuse membership
to negroes even today.
1t Is good that record has been made. It is we'll
that the union members of this most powerful of
Protestant sects should know that definitely the
side of low wages long hours murderous conditions of
toll and merciless tyranny of employers.
John Wesley, the founder of the Methodist church
would feel strangely out of place in that Conference
Like nearly all religious revoutonists he was also
social rebel Like hundreds of others he founded an
institution that fell into the hands of the class he hated
and which would drive him out if he were to appear
in of its conferences today.
1t would be foolish to single out the Methodists for
criticism in this connection. There few churches
where as large vote for union labor could have been
obtained in general governing body. Not so many
years ago it would have been impossible to have even
introduced resolution in favor of organized labor
This editorial is not denuncation of religion. 1t
is only an explanation of of the reasons why work
ingmen do not go to Observation-Disclosures Leader
Never be dismayed at the failure of your pans find
the reason, and attack the problem with stronger
pons next time.

Trade unions frequently referred to business
concern in which every member is equal partner.
And this is absolutely true. The trade union is CO.
partnership affair and is the anhesis of corporation
The latter is based autocracy wherein the man
agement and control is delegated to board of directors
who possess autocratic power while the former based
upon democracy wherein all is reserved to the
individual members comprising it..
The success of corporation depends upon the sue
cessu selection of directing head, while the success
Of co-partnership depends upon the intelligence and
activity of each Individual member constituting the
partnership harmonousl blended and directed towards
given end Without intelligent direction and harmony
of effort democracy is failure
Trade unions based upon democracy. They are
voluntary associations of individuals having common in
erests The success of trade union depends upon the
amount OF energy put forth by each member and to
the same extent that member shirks his duty or
fails to do his part to that extent the whole
ters The union man who thinks he has fulfilled his
obligation to his union when he pays his Dues never
attends meetings assists in the active work of his
organization fails to get all the good there is in union
ism.
No matter how good how efficient the officers of
union may be, unlass they have the hearty SUPPORT
and fullest cooperation of all the MEMBERS they cannot
possibly secure for their union all the benefits that
might be secured It requires the active cooperation
and united effort of all the members union to bring
1t to It's highest possible efficiency
