Kitchener

I.loyd's of London Is accepting in
suranee at the rate of shillings per
cent, based on Lord Kitchener being
alive. In other words. the firm is ac-
cepting odds of TOGO that N. of k
still lives. Already applications have
been placed with brokers for more than
$1,000, 900 insurance at that rate.
Although Lord Kitchener was re-
ported officially to have lost his life
on June 7, 1915. when the British
cruiser Hampshire went down among
the northern islands, the belief has
strangely persisted in circles In Eng
land through the last fifteen months
that the hero Of khartoum still lives.
As late as July 25 of this year Mrs.
Parker, sister Of Lord Kitchener, ex-
pressed the belief that he had in some
miraculous manner escaped from the
sea. This Immediately revived all sorts
of rumors--that a British prisoner In
Germany had written Lord Kitchener
was a captive there: that he had made
, his way to land after the wreck of tn,
| Hampshire and that the government
has concealed this because the great
| mans mind has become affected, and
| finally, that his death had been an
nounced to cover the part he ultimately
played in bringing about the Russian
| revolution.

THE PART of LABOR.

These are golden days for Ia
Dor. Never in our history has the
demand for labor been SO great or
has there been less excuse for the
unemployed. There is a place for
every man willing to work. skilled
or unskilled. The pressure of war
industry Is absorbing wage
earners from every source on the
one hand, while. on the other they
have been called by the hundreds
OF thousands to arms.
We have thus an unparalleled
condition in the labor market. and
1t is not at all surprising that la
Dor is taking advantage of it. The
strike will be the union mans
weapon until society furnishes a
better one. He has been told many
times by the wise teachers Of eco
Monies that labor is commodity,
like coal or sugar or cotton that
It is regulated by The Iau Of sup
ply and demand. If ne believes
that. we do not see why ne should
be. especially criticised for selling
ms commodity for all that he can
get, especially when he observes
the prices of other commodities
going up. As matter of justice,
we do not know why labor should
De asked to sacrifice any more
than some Of the manufacturers
who have reapcd rich returns
from three years of war.
There is, however. a line of pa
trlotlc duty to he drawn some
where, and union labor must do
Its share in winning the war. If
coal is not mined, if ships are not
built, II war munitions are not
manufactured, il the farmers are
not helped, if the railroads do
not run, then most assurcdly the
war will be lost, and in a very
brief time. A great and impor-
tant responsibility is placed With
the laborlng man and we have no
doubt that he will meet it. if left
to himself Under the leaders hlp
OF such patriots as Gompcrs he

CATION.
The danger lies in the efforts
OF the reasonable propaganda of
such Socialists as lIillqnit, Ber-
ger and the cunning paid agents
OF the imperial government Of
Gcrmany. In our own state we
have observed the deadly effects
OF such enemies OF the republic a.
