JOHN D. AND MOSES.

The late President Harper of Chi cago University opined that Rocke- feller was greater man than Shakespeare. Harper had his eye upon the Rockefeller money bags and possibly his opinion unloosed them for quite wad. But we have it on the personal testimony of Rockefeller that he and Moses pas sed through similar experience and with like results.
 The other day in Cleveland at a Euclid Avenue Church Reverend Myers delivered a homily upon Moses. May be he looked with ire quency towards the Rockefeller pew as he eulogized the great Hebrew. He may not, but if he knew his business he surely did. At any rate Mr. Myers pointed out the fact that Moses in his career had the choice between riches, social preferment and glory or service for the Lord. And Moses himself deliberately cast aside the future of wealth and worldly honors for the career of service.
 Of course we do not how correct | this view of the Mosaic career may | be. Critics of Moses have today a double advantage. Moses, living it, 1 faced a futures uncertainty. After the race is run, it is easy to pick the winner.
 But that is neither here nor there. The interesting fact is that MT. Rockefeller stated after the church meeting with a glow of honest pride that he himself had passed through a similar experience and had chosen the righteous path although he was sorely tempted to follow that which led to fame and honor and riches.
 It is regrettable that Ida Tarbell's s biography of the Standard Oil King has never revealed this pleasing 1 fact concerning which John now unbosoms himself, and his readers may wonder at what particular field his tempter was successfully defed. For it is not in evidence as yet. It certainly was not manifested at Co., lorado, or in Roosevelt or at Bay onne. It may be, in the nature fo | things that not only is Rockefeller greater than Shakespeare as liar per believed, but he is even greater than Moses. Moses eschewed riches and defied the tempter. Rockefeller

THE SOLID SOUTH.

Hughes experience in the Solid South may be annoying to the can didate, but it ought to be instructive to everyone. The Solid South models it's political ideals on interests which have long since departed. Pc litics is a relic in the south of an- other age when the great landed and slave holding interests operated their ends in government through the democratic party. Loyalty to those hereditary ideals remain long after their substance has departed. In the north Big Business finds re- presentation in the republican party most effective, because the republi- can party commands success for it. In the North democracy is associat- ed with the smaller fry in the in dustrial and commercial world for that reason.
 But Big Business, finding the Solid South solid for old times sake in democracy, has no hesitation i'll making use of it for it's own ends. Hence while the steel. the textile, the lumber, the coal, the sugar, the cotton and financial interests of the north are obedient to the dictates of Wall St. and ally themselves with the republican party, in the south with much ease they unite with the democratic party. Hence the interesting spectacle of the south ern democrats opposing chile | labor. Hence also the peculiar 1 spectacle of candidate Hughes being practically repudiated. Big Bushes: is as versatile as it is powerful ant will not view with dismay his eclipse in the sunny south. There democracy serves it's ends.

GREECE.

Greece has had a checkered his tory. Its glorious past is the theme of poet and orator. We have never improved upon it's philosophy and likely enough never will. They said the first and last word in metaphy- sics and everything that has been written since has been written about what they said or taught. Not less than seventy-five per cent of chris ianity is Greecian in it's origin, and the fruits of the Greecian minds have spread all over the world. But Greece then the Greece now are two different nations. And modern writers opine that they are racially and by adoption more Turkish than the Turks themselves. All of which may or may not be true.
 The poets have shed copious tears over Greece. They have lamented its past glory and it's unfortunate present and they fought and strugg- led with it to assist it's struggle for freedom.
 But it may be doubted if Greece at any time needed sympathy or was in a worse plight than at present. It is paying for the petty efforts at military glory that it directed for it's own ends in the Balkan war. It is subjected to all kinds of diplo- matic pressure, only another term for actual force, to make it surren- der it's nuetrality. It has military system. It is prepared. It has it's universal military service and its munition system. It has it's gen erals and its officers. It has guns and trained men and the Allies need them. It has played at being warrior nation and must now get in and really live the part. AL though the path of glory leads but to the grave, it must now follow that path, not in it's own interest but in the interest of greater nations. It must do the fighting for nations whose great men will not. Just as the hoi polloi of the world have to fight their commercial, industrial and financial masters battles. Surely if the poets have tears to shed for Greece they might as well

resisted riches and the tempter, yet wealth was his just the same.
SUGAR COATING.

It is the intention of the Western Federation of Miners to change it's preamble and to substitute for the present radical avowal of the class struggle one which will be less of- fensive to the employers. This is sugar coating the unionist pill with a vengeance But possibly it is late in the day Now that the organiza- tion is safe, sane and conservative it is not unlikely the mine owners may await to witness proof of the fact and so be unimpressed by the preamble The yearned for check off system may yet be long de- layed.
 Not that preambles matter Sure ly one cannot judge an organization by it's preamble. On the contrary it is trifing in the extreme. It IS the efficiency of the organization for the ends sought which counts. That is not improved by changing preamDleS. lndt VIII HOI peISudue any employer that such an organi- zation is less radical. What does count is power. That power de- bends upon union solidarity, not solid loyalty or solid admiration of any sort of an officialdom. They re- ally do not count. They are likely to be concerned more with assess
 ments and per capita than with any thing else. And strikes are not won nor are any of labor's battles achieved with victory to the work CTS by assessments and donations. There are few enough labor victor ies of late withal that the situation 1 in the field is so promising.
