fear nor respect it. On the other
hand, union with strong treasury
is apt to receive consideration.
Suppose an employer Of a thousand
hands knows that his employees have
savings averaging $500 each. He
knows then, that they can live year
without him. Suppose he knows, also,
that they are members of a union that
has strong treasury. He knows,
then, that thru their affiliation they
could live another year or two years
without him. This means that he will
be slow to attack their wages. It
means also that he will be inclined to
listen to requests. for increases. 1t
means that money power is just as
essential and just as influential for
the wage Garner and his union as it is
for the business man and the bank.
But these are peace time arguments.
We are now engaged in a war to de-
termine whether our free institutions
shall survive. We are asked to save
money by the purchase OF war savings
stamps and to loan our money to the
government. Every dollar invested in
war savings stamps is a dollar lent
to defend ourselves against German
autocracy and brutality, and it is also
dollar to strengthen our economic
conditions when the war is over. Every
wage Garner in the land needs to get
this fact fixed firmly in his mind, that
every dollar we save is a tower of
strength to US whether we do it as
individuals or as unions, or both, as
well as a present aid to the govern
ment which represents all the liberties
we hold dear.

One glance was apparently suffi-

uFE'S PROBLEMS
ARE DISCUSSED
BY MRS. WILSON WOODROW

Once the son of a family that 1
knew went off to seek an "eddica-
ton and after a lapse of years re-
turned as a full-fiedged college pro-
fessor.
He was typical. even archetypic-
al. good enough to serve as car
toon. He had cultivated scraggly
beard and a case of chronic dyspep-
sia, wore owl-like, horn-rimmed
spectacles and walked with slow
aloofness, absorbed in mighty mus
ings.
Those who remembered him as a
snub-nosed. freckle-faced boy, gen.
orally regarded as not quite all
there. stared amazed at his evolu-
ton. Some of the more ribald
Knocked. it is true. at his preten-
tious mannerisms. but for tn most
part he was accepted as superior
being, an exponent. and apostle of
the great god Culture.
The Woman's Club fawned upon
him. The superintendent of schools.
clergyman or so, and one or two
bookish lawyers formed themselves
into a sort of Pretorian Guard about
his person to protect him from con-
tact with the rude and vulgar.
The efforts of his family to rise
to the exalted and rarened plane
where he existed were almost pitt
full Their attitude was very much
that of a flock of barnyard fowls
who have found an eaglet hatched
out among them and who can only
gaze at its soaring flights in stunned
admiration. Nevertheless, they tried
to be worthy of him.
I remember on one occasion he
| was discoursing patronizingly to me
on some artistic question and made
la reference to Bastien le Page. His
cousin, an estimable girl-worth ten
/ of him any day in the week-was
| listening raptly to him. but at this
point she so far forgot herself as to
| interrupt.
He turned to her with a look of
almost uncomprenending wonder.
I To him it seemed incredible, little
short of a crime, that any one should
| be ignorant of Bastien lie Page. Then
| gazing at her in stern rebuke, he
murmured witheringly:
"Bawstein LIE Pawge was a heav-
en-born genius!"
How faraway and different seem
those times when people regarded
| it as vitality important to be familiar
with this or that phase of literature
and art, when long, ir-splitting
discussions upon such subjects were
/ the order of the day. and the High
Brow sat in the seat of authority.
The war has changed all that.
