wide circle OF .acquaintances in
Washington, although Mr.. VAIN
had long been devoted to her.
and she only took her most in
innate friends into her confidence a
few days before the wedding. She
is so handsome, such an interesting
and charming person, and has so
many friends in Washington, that the
wedding caused a decided ripple of
interest.

CURRENT COMMENT
The conseription Of All Labor.

There is no loud talk of the conscrip
tion of labor but there is constant whis
pering OF it, People talk about the con
scription of wealth much more boldly
No public man dares to. bring up the
subject of labor CONSUMPTION in Congress
and there is no prospect that conscrip.
tion measure will be seriously eonsid
cred The trade unions would resent
the proposal and the number OF persons
who would cry slavery" the moment a
practical project of this sort was intro
duced would be multitudinous. Is not
this antagonistic state of mind largely
due to the assumption that CONSUMPTION
would mean merely the loss of industri-
al freedom by the present wage-earning
class Few, perhaps, have reflected on
ways to popularize the idea,
Bernhard Shaw has recently advocated
form of labor CONSUMPTION that should
meet some of the objections now enter
tanned by trade unionists. His idea is
compulsory work for all, not compulsory
work for few, or nearly all. Put our
dukes to work, he says. Under this form
of labor CONSUMPTION there could be no
concessions to conscientious directors
among the wealthy. Everyone in health
would be obliged to work according to
his capacity If the duke should ask
what was the use in being duke if he
had to work in a factory Shaw's answer
would be that there was no use at all
except that prodigious amount of com
fort would be given to all the other
workmen in the shop by the knowledge
that the duke was working there also.
Il requires no great courage TO say
that a real CONSUMPTION of labor means
just this kind of a processa leyeling
process if you please. That is what
military CONSUMPTION involves The son
of millionaire George Gould is common
soldier to-day in an army cantonment
and he is on level with thousands of
other drafted men. If labor is to be
every able bodied man and
woman, who to-day does nothing but live
on an invested income. should be sub
iect to call to service wherever the !
need for that persons labor was urgent. |
We should put the gallants of the Palm |
Beach colony to work on farms next |
