Influence of Labor.

we are too much under the guld-
anCe of the lawyer. He has regarded
the relations between capital and
labor as merely contractual But
there is a heart beneath the worker 5
coat. Labor is not a commodity. It
is a form of cooperation. If l can
make a man believe in me, I can get
ten times as much as if he knew
were antagOni5tic.
The labOring man should be a
partner of his employer. If the heart
IS not in work, nothing is in it.
Il have just passed through most
distressing experience ! tried to ad-
Just differences between railroads
and employees. ! found suspicion or
distrust on the part of each for the
other, and. while arbitration was be
ing discussed between us, / had this
sad thought:
Arbitration is an alternative of war
an implement for use between hos
tile forces.
Therefore. it came upon me that
the real problem of capital and labor
was to bring both sides to believe in
each other
This thing had to be done when it
was done" the president went on, in
discussing his entire course in the
controversy. including laying before
congress the legislation he recon-
mended.
President Wilson has accepted invi-
tations to speak at Omaha Oct. and
at Indianapolis Oct. II, Centennial
highway day. Both invitations were
extended by nonpolitical organiza-
tons, and while the trips are not in
the nature of a tour of the central
west, according to a statement ema-

house" it is said many other towns
and cities have asked the president to
make addresses, and party leaders are
urging him to agree to at least a few
talks. Other trips are also being con-
sidered.

/ Shadow Lawn, Long Branch, n. j.,
! Sept. 25.-Addressing several thou
1 sand persons who made a pilgrimage
/ to his summer home, President Will
/ son Saturday afternoon spoke for the
| first time on the campaign issues
raised by Charles Evans Hughes He
dwelt chiefly on the business issues.
Prior to speaking the president had
long conference with Attorney Gen
eral Gregory
When the president appeared on
the porch of his home at 3:15 O'Clock
he was enthusiastically applauded. On
the porch with him were Postmaster
General Burleson, Attorney General
Gregory, former Ambassador to Tur-
key Henry Morgenthau, Jacob Schiff,
Judge John n. Westcott, w. Park
| hurst RunyOn and scores of other
prominent democrats
America" said the president, has
devoted itself to the energies and
achievements of peace. Business has
taken leading part in this.
For World Trade.
"a vision now has come to bust
ness. There never was a time when
the pulse of success beat so strongly
in the veins of business as ii does to-
day America has not played a pro-
pOrtionate part in the trade of the
world, and in time to come, chiefly
because America is about to release
her energies, American business is to
enter a new and greater field than ever
before.
The chief cloud on the horizon Is
the unsatisfactory relations between
capital and labor.
There is only one way in which re-
latiOns can be made satisfactory. That
is to make a general partnership of
business to make for business success.
SO long as labor and capital are rot
together American business is held
back.

VENTILATION OF HOMES.

Winter is approaching and farm
homes must be heated and properly
ventilated so they will be comfortable
Our winters are very mild In the
Southwest, yet II is necessary for
some heat; especially is II necessary
to take some precaution In the ozarks
OF Arkansas and Northern Oklahoma.
But ventilation is very important in
winter. Many farm homes are very
poorly arranged for ventilation. and as
a result, when heated. the people may
suffer for fresh air, which is always
indispensable 10 life, vigor and com
fort.
The time is coming when more at
tention will be given to ventilation OF
farm homes. The fact that people
who live on farms have q chance 10
be out In the fresh air Is often men
toned. But unless the home is prop
erly ventilated during bad weather
the members Of the family may have
their health injured or they may be
inefficient for their tasks.
Let an investigation be made TO de
termine whether or not your home Is
properly ventilated. II II is not, have
this important work done at once. II
may mean much TO you and the health
OF your family.
