SAVING THE INJURED

1--WE sure got to hand 1t to those
men with the Red Cross on their arms.
They all worked like dogs in that hell
out there. They seemed to have hut
one idea-to do their duty-and appar-
emily cared nothing for their own lives
while doing it. They were game right
to the core"
In this connection it may be said
that there are certain number of
men who wear the Red Cross whose
names are on the casualty list. If any
one has thought that a Red Cross
worker goes out on battlefield only af-
ter the firing has ceased and brings in
the wounded, this statement by n sol
der will correct the wrong impression
Stretcher-bearers work under fire-and
the Germans have not hesitated to FIRE
upon Red Cross workers.
The knowledge that the Red Cross
workers will be at his side almost as
quickly as he falls wounded, to take
him to the first-aid station and suhse-
quently to the hospitals, has given
great comfort 70 the American troops.

WESTERN UNION PENSION
PLAN.

In the nature of the benefits be-
slowed, the Western Union Telegraph
Company has exceeded all other busi-
ness concerns. exceeding that of the
trades organizations and equal in ratio
to the benefits obtained from the most
liberal plans of the standard insur-
ance companies Outside the business
circles of that great company, but few
people, comparatively, know that there
is such a pension, or have an idea of
the measure of its far-reaching benev-
olence. In the first place, it operates
both as a pension and an insurance
system for life, accident and health.
II pays sickness and disability bene-
fits The employe of ten years serv-
ice or more receives full pay for thir-
teen weeks and half pay for thirty
nine weeks. Employees whose services
are less than ten years receive bene-

fits on basis commensurate with
their term of service. Benefits are
also paid on accident and sickness re-
sulting in death. In addition there is
a liberal pension fund under which all
male employees who have reached the
age of sixty years or more, and fe-
males who have reached the age of
fifty-five or more, whose employment
has been twenty years or over, are
allowed to retire with pension equal
to one per cent of the average annual
pay during the ten years preceding
retirement multiplied by the years of
service. The minimum pension paid
under the plan is $50 per month.
In addition to the pension plan the
company has gone long ways toward
caring for the comfort of its employees
At Denver and other large offices com
modious rest and recreation rooms are
used during the twenty-four hours
The fact that the messenger boy has
not been overlooked is attested by the
large comfortable room provided at
Denver on the ground floor containing
a library of the latest books and mag
azines, telegraph sets for practice pur-

vided for the use of the boys and a

Tony Sarconi, who has for years past

steady and profitable patronage. But
his big place on Welton street, which.
last year, was enlarged and remodeled,
continues to be the popular attraction
for men-and its patrons are of the

ivory balls, rather than the chips
over the green cloth. Furthermore, it
is place of business appointment and

THE COMING DEMOCRACY
By THE REV. CHARLES sTELzLE.

Sometimes We wonder why the men
of olden days could not see the coming
of inevitable crises, which are so
clearly discerned by the present-day
historian-as he looks backward
Hindsight is not always as good as
foresight, but it has its compensa-
tions. If history repeats itself, and
if the historian is really a prophet.
then let US learn from the seeming
blindness of our fathers
One need not be prophet nor the
son of a prophet, TO say that this is
the era of the common man. The
masses are rising to assert themselves
as never before; because the coming
democracy is being built, not upon a
lawless revolution, but upon an evo-
luton which seems natural and, there
fore, must be permanent. No human
power can prevent its coming.
This means great things for the
people. 1t fills with hope those who
have been bowed down with the bur
dens of the past. 1t means, also, that
every true lover of the race will re-

joice, for the well-being Of common
humanity must be the ultimate aim
Of every worker in the field Of social
service. And more and more is the
great-hearted employer realizing that
his business must be conducted upon
a social basis-not simply for the good
of the few who are directly Interested
as stockholders.
The power of the labor leader of the
past will be considered small indeed,
when compared with that which will
be given the leader of the future. He
will be statesman, prophet, preacher
He cannot be a demagogue, CRATER,
charlatan.
