EARLY CLOSING

The agreement of the meat mar
kets to close at p. M, Saturdays on
and after April Ia, has attracted the
attention of other lines of business
and there seems to be a feeling
among many retailers that the clos
ing of their doors one hour earlier
would be beneficial to employers as
well as employees.

STATE FAIR SITE

Last week the Journal suggested a
new site for State Fair grounds-a
section of land including within it's
borders one of the small lakes be-
tween Everett and Seattle. The sug-
gestion seems worthy of considera-
tion. No location in the state would
draw larger attendance or is more
promising of financial success.

THE SNOBBISHNESS
AMONG WORKINGMEN
(By the Rev. Charles Stelzle)

l
Everybody hates snob. But the
average snob-hater sees only the
chap who looks down on him-he
scarcely ever thinks of himself as
despising the man whom he regards
as beneath himself.
Most of US think of snobs as
rich people. The fact is, however,
that there are as many snobs among
workingmen as there are among the
rich.
For example, in the average mach
inc shop there are at least half a
dozen different grades of society.
The draftsmen-who regard them
selves as semi-professional men
feel that they are just a bit better
than the pattern-makers who wear
aprons instead of coats while on
the job.
The pattern-makers consider them
selves a whole lot better than the
machinists because ordinarily they
wear white shirts instead of overalls
and because they earn about half
a dollar more day.
And the machinists have a notion
that they are better than some other
other mechanics in the same plant
although they couldn't tell you ex-
actly why.
And the whole bunch of mechanics
despise the common laborer. They
decline to eat their lunches in the
same corner with him and when he
goes out on job with the mech
anics he is treated like an inferior
being.
The strange thing about it is that
the amount of money that man has
doesn't seem to be the factor which
controls in the matter of making
snobs.
The average clerk in a department
store regards himself as superior to
both the mechanic and the laborer
He doesn't want to be known as
"workingman"-no he. He may
get about half as much money as
a tiptop mechanic but he has the
notion that he is infinitely superior
to the mechanic-although to turn
out his work the mechanic requires
twice as much brain power as may
be necessitated in the case of the
clerk.
In a little Minnesota town there
are three women's clubs-one COM
posed of the wives and daughters
of engineers, another consisting of
the wives of firemen and third
made up of wives and daughters of
brakemen. 1t is absolutely impos-
sible for the wives of the firemen to
join the club composed of the wives
of engineers and as for the wives
of the brakemen-they simply aren't
in it.
Talking about "aristocracy" of la
Dor, there is a sense in which labor
has right to be proud because it
is producing something that is worth
while instead of grating on the
rest of the world-but this is the
only reason that it has for calling
itself better stuff than the parasites
who live on the labor of others.
Any sort of aristocracy that causes
one workingman to look down upon
another workingman simply because
he happens to wear different kind of
working clothes, or because he earns
a few cents day less, or works half
a day longer, or because he has
job which compels him to do some
thing which most of us don't like
to do-such aristocracy is a curse to
labor and the workers should be
ashamed of it,
Labor will never advance as long
as cheap snobbishness dominates
the various groups that constitute
the working people

IT'S LIVES TOLL Of
HEAT WAVE IN NEW YORK
Endless Stream Of Victims Fill
Gotham Hospitals During
Late Hot Spell.

New York.-Heat claimed the
lives Of 115 persons in Greater New
York last week. while hundreds of
others were FRUSTRATED.
The city's sweltering millions got
only temporary relief from a brief
thunderstorm. and the temperature,
which went down to SO with the cool
ing rain, again started to climb with
the temperance of the sun. The
humidity also began to go higher and
nightfall found the city's population
facing another night of suffering.
A light breeze from the southeast
offered some relief. however. in con-
trast to last night. when the oppres-
sive heat was not tempered by a
breeze even at the seashore resorts.
Thousands sought the beaches and
parks again. All through the day
and night ambulances scurried about
the city. and hospitals were taxed
with seemingly endless stream of
heat victims.
Fight To Board Trains.
Physicians from the Board of
Health were ordered stationed in the
Municipal building station of the sub
way, the most crowded spot in the
city, where scores of prostrations oc-
CURED. Trains for Coney Island and
other seashore resorts depart from
this station. and it was the scene of
the greatest congestion, crowds fight

Five women, Frustrated by the
heat, lay upon the station platform
at one time.
Scores of stores. shops and facto-
ries closed at noon and earlier. after
many of their young women employ
es tainted from the heat. In the big
stores the clerks were
permitted additional hours of rest.

from the grass plats in the parks by
order of Mayor Mitchell. who an
nounced that all parks would be open

THE LITTLE STRANGER.

| "A 10Y DdDN, just Il InoHlH oiu, wa
found Sunday night on Peabody ave
nue.. The dew was heavy on thu
grass. The sky was clear. Thu
moon looked upon the little face ten
derby and with the softness of {
mothers smile. The little fellow
had been deserted. He had beer
thrust By alien hands into the world
This little mite of humanity. help
less, alone, nameless, lay in the
moonlight, an appeal to the generosi-
ty of some kindly man and woman to
guide his future footsteps.
This wee bit of human thistledown,
waited into living world without
his knowledge or consent. was left to
guide his future course alone.
This little gift of God, so unappre-
ciated, has become charge Of pa5.ic
charity.
Yet this little stranger is not alone,
he is not without friends and he will
find when his sleeping brain becomes
active that there is always respon-
sive sympathy which quickens the
human heart.
Some of our great men and women
in this world came as the little stran-
ger, and became in the end command
ing figures in the human family.
Just at present odds are against
the little stranger. 1t is not his fault
that he was born. He did not know
of his unwelcome advent. He does
not know that he is burden on the
public bounty.
1t is not the little strangers fault
that unnatural parents. left him to
the tender mercies of men and wom-
en- with greater and more gracious
hearts than theirs.
Perhaps the moonlight, as it ten
derby peeped through the shrubbery,
where the baby was hidden, brought
to him an unknown gift that will fill
his future with happiness.
Some woman who has a crying
hunger for baby lips, whose heart
aches for the touch of a curly head
upon her wasted breast. who feels
the want of a little one-one whom
she can fondle with mother love, may
find the little stranger and in the
finding a sunbeam will come into the
home and the little stranger may find
the clouds that now surround his
empty babyhood gradually disap-
pearing.
There is a great Father who cher
shes all growing things. 1t is said
hat He looks affectionately upon his
owe children and that they will be
he beneiciaries of His generous
mercy. ..
Some day. who can say. who can
even fashion surmise, this little
stranger may play great part in
he activities of life and he will look
MS fellowman fearlessly in the eyes
and say with that dominant spirit of
American manhood, 81 am what /
am. ! am what God intended that l
should be. | am a man."
Perhaps some mothers heart today
nay suffer anguish. for we cannot
believe that any woman is so hard
med as not to miss her babv's lips,
% feel the loss of the tender clutch
If pink fingers, who will not sigh for
me more look into the eyes of inno-
,ence.
Some mother. we feel sure. will
his morning miss the little stranger.
In the meantime he cries with lus-
" lungs and at other times plays
With his soft little toes and coos his
infant song of content at the Leath !
We wonder who will fulfill Gods |
who will open parental arms
md make a way for the little stran-
ger, that in time he may come into
lis own and fight his battle with the |
yorld.-[Commercial Appeal.
