LABOR AND LOYALTY

Most Americans earn their living by the labor OF
their hands. The American leisure class is small. Some
sections of it become extensively conspicuous, and thus
attract more attention than their numbers warrant. The
rest are engaged in gainful occupations of one sort or
another. or those SO engaged those engaged in some
form Of manual labor are very largely in the majority.
They constitute the bulk of our population, and are the
bone and sinew of the nation. No policy can succeed, no
movement can progress, which has the opposition or the
laboring people Of the country in general. And the cause
the cause Of America, and the obstacles must be indeed
insurmountable which it cannot overcome.
Certain great groups Of laboring people have asso-
ciated themselves in organizatiohs for mutual benefit, and
these organizations, in turn, have become affiliated with
the American, Federation of Labor, whose president, Sam
uel Gompers, is taking a prominent part in the great La
Dor and Loyalty meeting in Minneapolis.
Not all of us can always concur in all that Mr.. Conn
pers says or approve all that he does. He has his point
of view, Mis- Individual ideas, his hopes and aspirations.
He is a strong, forceful man, and such mon are bound to
find points Of difference between themselves ana others.
But Samuel Gompers is a loyal American citizen and q
faithful representative Of the men and women whom he
has. served SO long and SO ably. And it is an inspiring
thing to see him and others eminent in the ranks Of or
ganized labor asserting themselves as they are doing in
support of uncompromising and vigorous Americanism.
-. The meeting in Minneapolis is important in that it
sets forth as nothing else could the actual sentiments OF
the great mass Of organized wage workers in the Unired
States. Those sentiments are sentiments of patriotism,
straightforward and unequivocal; and the men who en-
tertain them, constituting as they do the great mass of
organized laborers, and representing, as they do, the still
greater mass of laborers who are nnorganized. are set
ting before the world the fact that real American senti-
ment is behind the government in this war. ready to
make any necessary sacrifice to carry the war to its just
conclusions ready to go all the way without question of
cavil. This is the spirit OF America, for it is the spirit
of the workers of the nation,

WAR, SOLDIERS AND CHILDREN

The soldiers Of the national army are being called
into service just as the children Of the country are be-
ginning their years school work. There is a great pro-
cession. toward the army camps, and another great pro-
cession toward the schoolhouses.
Almost before We can realize it these school chill
dren will be men and women. They will be carrying on
the work of the nation, and they and others like them
Will be carrying on the work of the world. The world in
which they will live. and in whose affairs they will be
active. will be largely such as we make it for them.
They are our wards. dependent on us in the present for
the present necessities Of life, and in the future for an
environment which will give them opportunity for the
nut development of their powers, for lives Of usefulness
and happiness.
We are engaged in this war in order that tine world
may be made a fit place for these children to live in,

MORE FEATURES OF THE POWER
QUESTION

By accepting the proposal of the Red River Power
company to furnish power for the operation Of the city's
plant the city will save annually $4,000 as against gem
Grating steam for this purpose in its own boilers, This
estimate, of which detailed figures have been published,
is based on $500 a ton for coal, the price at which the
last purchase was made. AS a matter Of fact there is
no certainty that the city will be able to buy coal at this
or any other price.
Recently the council advertised in the usual manner
for bids on the 1000 tons of coal which will be needed
If the steam plant is operated. No bids whatever were
received at the time called for, as the dealers were UNI
able to obtain quotations and delivery. At the last coun-
Gil meeting a bid was made by one dealer who had To-
Gated some coal which he could deliver If his offer were
accepted at once. His figure was not for the 1000 tons
as he could not obtain that much. He offered, 400 tons
at $10.57; 800 tons Of another grade at $40. 62: 200 tons
of still another grade at 1897. These prices were for
immediate acceptance. They may or may not be good
today or tomorrow, and the quantity available il less
than half the need. On this basis the cost of operating
the steam plant will be some $4,000 higher than the
original estimate, and the saving to be effected by the
purchase of electric current will be about $40 600 instead
of $4,000 as formerly estimated.
If the proposed contract is made the city will con-
tinue as at present to handle its own plant in everything
but the generation Of power. It will buy power instead
of buying coal with which to generate steam. 1t will
FIX its own rates, make its own charges, collect its own
bills, make such extensions as 1t desires to make, and
handle the whole business Just as It does now. The power
company will have nothing to say about the operation
OF the plant. It will supply current to the city lust al
1t furnishes it to the individual for lighting his house
And, just as the individual uses the current when and
where and how he pleases. SO will the city be at all timer
in absolute control Of the plant and its operation.
