What ere American standards OF
labor? Let US put the question to q
reasonable test by first asking our
selves. What is America? IS IT not
democratic country. a country grow
ing In democracy aud lighting for de-
mocracy and for the right TO keep on
growing in democracy?
The democratic test, then. Is tho
test to which we must bring the ques-
ton OF American standards OF labor.
In other words, when we deal with
labor. we deal with human factor, and
every unit in this great factor is en-
entitled to democratic considcrat ton
to the consideration which the Decla-
ration of Independence assures him.
Labor is vastly more vital than the
item Of labor cost In a business mans
ledger. Labor means mankind at work
making living for mankind.
That IL what the war has Impressed
upon us stcrnly. 1t has taught us that
Lincoln was right when he said that
labor is prior to capital. that capital
never could have existed If labor had
not produced II. and that capital con-
tinurs to exist only as labor continues
TO produce IT.
What is the meaning otherwise OF
the frantic appeals 10 labor which we
hear on every side mt this critical time
in the countrys history? We are de-
pendent upon labor and all OF US now
know II.
When Lincoln put labor before cap
ital nc adjurcd the !ahoring people to
beware Of surrendcring their powers
What labor. therefore. demands and
has a right to demand IS that IL shall
not be forccd.N!n the name OF patriotism

down its standards for the enrichment
Of proi!tecrs.

SEEN ON THE SIDE
The Orioles.
BY HENRY EDWARD WARNER

The Orioles.
(Irrcm an Old Indian LoEcnd)
1t was the mating time
The orioles builded nest In the trectop
y house In the swinging branches.
They brought twiGs and leaves
And robbed Old pobbin OF his tail to bind them.
And when the nest was builded they sang,
Sang Thanksgiving to the blue sky.
The lake ripplcd smiles
And the sun kissed tho golden threads In their
black coats.
And the orioles said:
we have builded a house; let us make it
home"
Then Madame Oriole sang:
Behold in our house there are children7
Shall house swing empty
And mock the wedding guestS7
Whom may the rosebush fail to bring forth buds
Or the mother lamb TO cuddle her yourg"'
In tho runncss of time the nest was filled;
Tho kissed the black ana gold
And tipped the tiny pearls Of hope.
Hclpir9, them into hfc
And when the day had come. young crying
mouths
Opened to take The food from mothers bill
And they thrived ana SANG. and gave thanks
to the blue Sky.
The children fcchly Gut,ered and called to their
parents.
But when their wings strong they arose.
Poised instant the nest edge.
Heard afar the call OF The air. and few away.
And the orioles said: at is we'll;
Our children arc strong and mighty;
Our children shall
And mate and build Themselves nests IN the
trees"
And SO they sang the song OF Thanksgiving.
And the winter cIIrc-ihe cruel winter
The wind stripped the boughs. and the rpples
OF the lake
Whipped into angry tempest
The sun hid its face the sky gray.
And there was only the memory Of summer,
Tho hope of spring.
