President Wilson. who is posing the great
champion OF organized labor. will be fortunate in
deed. il there be bareback from his overweening
desire TO make himself solid with certain unions
There are few persons who think that either he or
the Democratic majority in Congress would have acted
with such precpitancy il a national election had not
been impending.
Those who have followed the OF the Pres-
dent smile at his present display OF friendliness
ward the unions and union men. II is recalled that
in 1909, in baccaaureate address before the grad
uating class Of Princeton University. he said:
"YOu know what the usual standard Of the employ
is in day. II Is 10 give little he may for his
wages. Labor is standardized by the unions,
and this Is the standard to which II Is made to con-
form. No Is suffered TO do than the average
workman do; in some trades and handicrafts no
Is suffered to do than the least skful of his
fellows do within the hours allotted TO days
labor, and may work out of hours at all vol
uDteer anything beyond the minimum.
81 need not point out how economically disastrous
such regulation of labor is. II Is Improbable to
the employer that in trades II will presently not
be worth his while 10 attempt anything at ALL He had
better stop altogether than operate at inevitable
and nVariable loss
"The labor Of America is rapidly becoming unprO
fabe under its present regulation by those who have
determined to reduce II to a minimum.
"Our economic supremacy may he lost because the
country grows more and full of Improbable SER
vants.v
Those words do not square very well with his
ton in the railroad crisis The explanation probably
is that in 1909 he running for President did
need the labor and felt that he could afford
to reveal his real thoughts relative to labor unions
and union men.

DANGERS OF srAMP-LIcKING.

DAANOGRO VT OAA4hN AANAAANos
To the Editor of THE EVENING
JOURNAL
Sir: In THE EVENING JOURNAL OF
August % there was an article with a
heading reading: Germs on Stamps
Don't Lick En-"
After an investigation, DIR. Romert A.
Kelly and an assistant have proven
that the postage stamp is a carrier OF
disease germs. They advocate a device
of some kind to moisten stamps, in
stalled in all places dispensing postage
stamps.
That is an excellent idea, provided
everybody would use the device. But
most persons have been licking stamps
all their lives. Some will continue TO
do so in spite of the danger.
An antiseptic glue placed on the
stamps that would destroy all disease
germs and at the same time be harm
less to the users, seems to be sensible
solution.
II is safe to say that with scientists
and chemists in the government en-
ploy such glue could be made easily.
There is no doubt that if DIR. Keilty's
work were brought TO the attention of
the Postoffice Department in the proper
manner some such method would be de-
vised to eliminate this danger to the
public health.
Respectfully yours.

had come to the. castle at Grand

Jack, slipping in at its gate as
Il quietly, but as inexorably, as the
shadows that stole across the courtyard.
The dusk had now deepened into night,
overcast and sullen. To Wilton, waiting
rigidly through dinner for the other to
say whatever it might be that he had
come to say, it seemed that even Africa
had never before produced such dark
ness. Town, beach, and bush had all
been wiped out; even those massive
lower walls beneath them had disappeared,
and the top platform, on which his quar-
tiers stood, seemed to hang unsupported,
like some lantern picture projected on a
black screen by the lamps in the dining
room behind them. Only the line Of the
surf showed a faint CLEAN of green fire
that defined the curve of the beach; then,
there showed at the extreme end Of that
curve, a single spot of light.
Steady and golden it shone, without
flicker or increasing, as if it had been
burning long time behind some shutter
whose sudden opening revealed it. To
the Governor, sitting silently in his chair,
it might have been signal for which he
was waiting; for at the sight of it he
turned quietly to the other.
"You may as well speak, Wilton
@What would you have me say, sir?"
asked Wilton YEARLY.
The Governor glanced keenly at him,
taking in the details Of his wire-drawn
thinness; his face white with the pallor
Of the tropics; the. bright hair and fever
ishly brilliant eyes, that seemed like the
outbreaking Of some secret inner flame
that he was cherishing to his own con-
Stunning.
@Mrs. Hugo talked great deal when
she returned to Accrome," the Governor
suggested.
Wilton nodded. He had known that
Mrs. Hugo would talk. He glanced
involuntarily back through the open
arches of the dining-room. He could al
most see her still at that table, with her
