SYMPATHY FOR
THE EDITOR
BY Charles Nj. Cook.

A free press is dream so long as
most readers feel inclined to punish
the editor for his opinion If it hap
pens to clash with theirs. If we ap-
preciate the value of q free press and
want to see it prosper, we must be toll
Grant enough to see it express thought
and ideal which we do not share. A
press that expresses all the opinions
of all it's readers all the time, is an
impossibility. All Of us have perfect
right to ask of a paper claiming your
active support, that it shall repre-
sent the material and ideal interests
Of your class and do it honestly, fear
lessly and skilfully. But we must
not lose our temper, and let our COM
mon sense fly away with it if the
editor makes what we consider a mis-
take, or falls into heresy of some kind
or other. For, remember, we have
our share Of the weaknesses that flesh
is heir to, and the heresys of today
are the dogmas of tomorrow. You
never can tell, you may yourself praise
next year what you condemn now,
and it is better to disagree in a friendly
spirit with an honest opinion of an
honest man than be deceived by the
dishonest efforts of dishonest man
who lies in order to keep you in good
humor, and get your cash. At any
rate, be consistent booster. Knock
ing was never associated with sue
cessful enterprise, and if we can't
agree with the editor on every propo-
sition, at least be charitably disposed
toward a man that does the best that
can be done under the circumstances.

FIRST LABOR CENTER.

The commissioners, and par
ticularly Mayor Magney, are to be
CONGRATULATED for the action taken at
the council meeting last Monday aft
ernoon, when resolution was
adopted authorizing the public well
fare department to secure location
on the old Bowery to be used for a
comfort station and labor center.
Soon after the local option cleo
ton last June, union men who had
supported the movement to exter-
inmate the saloon suggested that the
municipality provide places where
transient workingmen of the city
could congregate, enjoy the compan--
ionship of each other, and pass their
leisure hours, and now that the es-
Enlistment of such an institution
will soon be a reality, The Labor
World sincerely hopes the innova-
ton will prove successful, and ma
terially serve to fulfill a function
which the city owes to the social de-
velopment of it's industrial popula-
ton.
When the finances of the city per-
nit, there will surely be more such
centers established in other districts,
and the city commissioners should be
given all the encouragement and sup
port possible in this new departure.

WOMEN IN TROUSERS.

No, there is no satire in that head
ing. 1t is the cold, logical truth which
we must face-and that probably very
soon.
In Europe the women are doing
mems work while the men are at the
front smashing their enemies. 1t is a
necessity which they may not shirk,
and which they do not want to shirk.
The skirt is serious obstacle to the
proper performance of these duties,
hence the skirt has been discarded
and is replaced by the masculine
trousers.
If this war lasts for a year or two
longer-and wise men declare it will
be performing the tasks of our own
men who are sent to the trenches.
It is quite within the bounds of pos
sibility, even probability, that ou:
army will be increased to five or ten
millions Of men and in such event
millions of women must go into the
shops, the factories, and the fields
wherever man has been taken away
and there is no other to take his place.
Sane people of both sexes will well
come the adoption. of any garment
that will aid them in their duties and
make life less irksome for them.
A few senseless prudes will of
course be Mortified, but the prudes
have not made the world, have been of
little benefit to it, and they will not
end it.
Women in trousers are inevitable.
1t must come. And the sooner we be-
come reconciled to the thought the
easier it will be for those upon whom
necessity forces the innovation

Read Your Labor Paper

Labor Journal)

Labor Journal.)
During the past week the writer had
occasion to visit various business men,
city ond county officials, approximate
ly IL in number, and in each case
found a copy of the Union Labor Jour
nal on the desk or in the office.
A discussion in each case relative
to an article in the current issue
found all qualified to discuss the sub
ject, showing they had read the paper
AS matter of curiosity mentioned
the same article to the first ~ union
men that I met.
Seven frankly admitted they had
not taken the trouble to read the
paper, two had read the article, but
had formed no opinion on the subject,
and had not noticed the article in
question, yet - men outside the labor
movement had read the entire con-
tents Of the paper.
Without advertising the labor
papers cannot exist. The advertisers
expect (and have a right to expect) a
return on their investment in ad-
vertising in a labor paper, and if your
patronage is denied them, can you
constantly expect their support in time
of trouble?
The solution is easy. Read your
labor paper. become familiar with its
contents; read it's news, both local
and foreign, not failing to peruse the
advertising section. If there is an
article that you desire to purchase
advertised, purchase it from the COL

RELIGION IN THE
LABOR MOVEMENT:
BY REV. CHARLES STELZLE.

There is so much religion in the la
Dor movement, and SO much of the
social spirit In the church that, with
the inevitable development of each in
these respects, it will some day be-
come question as to whether the
church will capture the labor move
ment. or whether the labor movement
will capture the church.
1t Is becoming quite clear to most
OF US, that neither side can afford to
ignore the other. While there are
good and sufficient reasons for the
church to discuss the problem of how
it may save the people, there are also
most excellent reasons which prove
that the people must save the church.
Workingmen almost universally
honor Jesus as Great Friend and
Leader. recent writer said: 'In
that fortress of progress which the
socialist workingmen of Belgium have
built IN Brussels, the Maison du Peu-
pie, as you pass from one part to an
other of that hive of many activities,
you may happen to go into an upper
lecture-hall, and note across the end
Of the platform a great curtain hang
ing. 1t is drawn reverently aside, and
behind it one sees a frescoe of the
form of Jesus, with hand uplifted
pointing the way above. It is surely
deeply significant of the vital power
of His message, and of the way He
wins men still to follow Him."
Almost every mention of the name
Of Jesus in workingmen's meetings
brings forth the most hearty applause.
The average workingman is natur-
ally religious. His religion may not
always be expressed in the orthodox
manner, but it is there, nevertheless.
Infldelity scarcely exists among work.
ingmen. AS a matter Of fact, they
respond most readily to the religious
/ appeal. It is the testimony of nearly
every preacher that engages in shop
meetings that they are never listened
, to with greater respect and with
greater interest by any other kind of
! an audience.
The social question is fundamental
ly a moral and a religious problem.
In the end, there will be not one an
swer to the social question, but many.
But all will agree in this-all will be
religious. It will never be settled upon
| any other basis. History has prophe-
! sled it. The best labor leaders are
coming to recognize it. Present re-
| form measures indicate it.
! These things prove that the work.
ingman, in his devotion to Jesus and
in his natural religious disposition, is
| in an attitude Of mind which makes

as he responds to this principle, will

world. Agitation, education and leg
islation there will continue to be, but
| they must be always upon a moral
basis. And that organization will sur

church or the labor movement
which has the greatest genius to
transmute these high ideals into prac-
tical, everyday living, meeting all

BY JOHN ID. BARRY.

why are there so many detectives
among the young men of today? The
question must often have been asked
during the past three years, since the
beginning of the war. In Europe
many thousand have been rejected
from military service because of some
weakness. Is it that large numbers
of human beings are bound to be
physically imperfect? Once to answer
in the affirmative would have been
easier than it is now. For we have
been learning that many weaknesses
formerly regarded as inherent in man
kind, sometimes attributed to God, are
actually the result of ignorance or
neglect. We know that many of those
weaknesses can be prevented by lit
tie care and foresight. Preventive
work has been among the greatest of
all the triumphs of twentieth century
science. 1t is essentially protective
work. It has gone far, but not far
enough. And where it is most needed
is in the public schools.
During the next few months many
thousands of young men will be re-
jected from service in this country be-
cause Of unfitness. Most Of them, if
they had been given proper treatment
when they were young. would now be
fit. And most of them, remember,
will be products of our public school
system where their minds were given
training while their bodies were neg
lected. The situation is a dramatic
reminder OF the serious defect in oui.
educational system.
When this subject is discussed it is
sometimes remarked that the teachers
are to blame. They are likely to be
criticized for their Indifference to the
laws Of health. Often they are poor
specimens physically. They don't
know how to take care of themselves.
But it should be borne in mind that
for the most part, they are products
of the system. They have certain
amount of work to get through, usu-
ally more than they or their pupils
ought to undertake, and get through
it they must. If a girl or boy break
down in health, why, the cause is dis
missed as some unavoidable natural
defect or as overwork. But if the de-
feet was there it ought to have been
have been checked before it could
lead to disaster.
But ought the community to be re-
sponsible for the condition of the
young? Is not this important matter
the concern of the family? If it is the
family has shown that it can not meet
the responsibility. Besides, as a. result
of the widespread neglect, the CON-
munity suffers. In many instances
the detectives who might have been
made efficient become dependents on
the community. So in the end the
cost has to be met and the payment,
by being put off, exacts far more than
a userer's interest.
Schools are established to prepare
the young to meet life, not merely
business life, but the complete life
that gives opportunities for the devel-
opment Of the best that 10 in each I'M

mitted, they have fallen far short OF

NEW IDEAS OF EDUCATION

this ideal. But it is a fine aim and
worth being kept in mind all the time
and it is the aim that the more en-
lightened educators today are en-
phasizing. Without sure foundation
of health it can not be realized. 1t is
for the schools to establish that foun-
dalton and to inculcate those princi-
pies that help to maintain it,.
While the grownup youth of the
country are being called on for serv-
ice in the war the youth still in school
are in a situation that ought to make
us all do some thinking. Miss Helen
M. Todd has lately made a report on
her investigation of the effect of the
high cost of food on school children in
New York. She discovered that in
consequence of the under nourishment
resulting from the prohibitive prices,
the children of the poor could not do
their work as they had done it before.
Their physical condition made it inn
possible FOL. them to concentrate their
minds.
Children are often spoken of as the
hope of the race the citizens and the
parents of the future. If they are SO
important their welfare ought to be
looked after more carefully. When
Tagore, the Hindu philosopher. was
in this country he was astonished at
| the one-sideness of our educational
! methods. He, has since expressed his
feeling with considerable vigor. He
says that with us 1t is to the intellect
that all the nourishmen Of modern
life goes. 1.-THE highest education is
that which does not merely give us in
formation, but puts our life in har-
mony with all existence
One important change in the right
direction is bound to come through
the more scientific methods of OBJ
servatiOn now coming into vogue
among educators. Children are more
! and moro encouraged to get close 10
outdoor nature, to learn from what
they see and experience. Outdoor
, schools in summer are becoming pop
| ular. Swimming pools are becoming
d part of the equipment of the best
schools. And some effort is being
! made to encourage children to use
initiative and energy in the healthy
use of their leisure. The work has
only begun and it is bound to go for
! ward rapidly in the next few years.

SUCCESS AMPLIFIED.
"He was a very successful man."
This common expression is made
often in everyday life in reference
to those men who, either because of
technical training, inherent persever-
ance or other circumstances,< have
amassed a worldly fortune. General
ly little attention is paid to the means
and methods employed in accom-
plishing this, and such men are Of
ten envied and revered by those
about them.
OF the great mass of those who
daily perform their mental tasks and
trudge YEARLY home at the days end
to expectant wives and CHEEKY chill
dren, there are a large nun Der of
men who, though never conceded
material success in life, are those
who exemplify the real meaning of
the word
They are the workers who toll
that their families may have the ne
cessities and a few luxuries of life:
those who make personal sacrifices
so that life may be made brighter
and more roseate for the dear ones
at home; those who are gracious,
considerate and unselfish to the su-
perlative degree: those who rear
their families to maturity, and then
at the final summons, serenenly pass
to life's reward, secure in the knowl-
edge of having satisfactorily met
and overcome the trials of life, feel
ing that no duties had been shirked
and believing that the world was a
little better because of their sojourn
here.
