The Nature of Labor
( From, The Villager)
ABOR can never take charge. Why? II

II ABOR can never take charge. Why? In
numbers it includes nearly all Of US;
moreover, it has become educated;
its conditions of life have been bettered;
it has developed class consciousness; its
whole progress has been astounding. True
1t never has been able to rule in the past,
but, with all things changed, may it not
be able in the future to rule? 1t would
were it not that labor nature is still labor
nature And it is this very point that
the forward-looking materialists mislead;
they do not see that, although the status
Of labor has been changed, it's position
lifted up, its strength increased, its out
look broadened, yet the nature Of labor re-
mains as it was in the beginning and as 1t
will be in the end.
Men who work with their hands cannot
at the same time work with their heads;
those who are mining coal and tending
machines cannot direct the mine or the
factory.
This is no new theory or prejudice; it
was set down in shrewd analysis two
thousand years ago-perhaps there has
never been any better summing up of
labor's limitation than that contained in
ECCleSlaStlCuS. NOW can ne get WISDOM
that holdeth the plough and that glorieth
in the goad, that driveth oxen and is occu-
pied in their labors, and whose talk is of
bullocks? He giveth his mind to make
burrows; and is diligent to give the kline
fodder"
So the carpenter and every workmaster,
80 the men who cut and grave seals, so the
smith sitting by the anvil, "the noise Of
the hammer and the anvil is ever in his
ears, and his eyes look still upon the pat
tern of the thing that he maketh;" the
potter, turning the wheel and cleaning the
furnace--"all these trust to their hands,
and every one Is wise in his work" But,
the son Of Sirach shrewdly observes: "They
shall not be sought for in public counsel,
nor sit high in the congregation; they shall
not sit the judges seat, nor understand
the sentence of judgments; they cannot
declare justice and Judgment; and they

But ( hereWasNoPeQce
(From The Manchester Guardtanl

Xenophon was, l suppose, writes a CORE
spondent, the real father Of the league Of
nations. At least, in q report on the Atti-
can budget, he formulates a wish that war
might be suppressed and proposes to his
colleagues the creation of a Ministry Of
Peace. Generally speaking, of course, the
ancients regarded war as an inevitable evil,
SO that his action was all the more remark
able Other ancients seem to have had
glimmerings that peace might be a good
thing third century historian, Vopiscus,
utters the following cry Of joy: "Now that
the Emperor Probus has conquered the bar
barians, there will never be any more war."
We seem only lately to have heard some
thing of the kind in Europe. With the
truce Of God we come to the end of peace
conceptions in general, and until the eigh-
teenth century only the moralists, such, for
instance, as Bossuet, seem really to deplore
war 1t is possible that the prophets who
arc always declaring that war is inevitable
have something to do with its coming, and
for them might be recommended passage
of Diodorus: "In India at the beginning of
each year philosophers assemble and pre-
dict droughts, rains, plaques and anything
that concerns the people. If they are wrong
in their prophecies they are condemned to
remain dumb all the rest Of their lves!"

Odd Jobs

What Is Ability?

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: Your editorial on "Minds" (Julv

several business men readers of your paper

Tinkering an Anthem

Meddllng with national anthem is a
difficult business, and England has ap-
preached "God Save the King" with
duly tentative and hesitating hand.
Criticism of the old song (that Henry
Carey probably did not, after all, write)
has been frequent of late years. 1t cul-
minated in a new version sung recently
for the first time at thanksgiving ser
vice in ST. Paul's attended by the King
and Queen. The original first verse has
been preserved; for the other two, sub
stltutes have been written with his
majesty's approval" The name of the
author is not given. The Tentative" re-
vision runs thus:
God save our gracious King,
Long live our noble King,
God save the King
Send him victorious,
Happy and glorious,
Long to reign over US,
God save the King!
One realm of races four,
Blest more and ever more
God save our land!
Home of the brave and free
Set in the silver sea,
True nurse of chivalry,
God save our land!
kinsfok in love and birth
From utmost ends of earth.
God save us all!
Bid strife and hatred cease.
Bid hope and JOY increase,
Spread universal peace,
God save US all!
1t will be seen that the scatterinp Of
the Kings enemies, together with the
lines touching politics and knavish tricks.
have been abandoned in favor of the
empire and its seaward look AS for the
new last verse, the most that can be said
of it is that it is not much weaker than
the original. There is sense in this COM
ment Of "The London Times" upon the
whole project:
"The anthcmfor 1t is now almost
worthy Of that name--is at length per
haps more in accordance with the refIne-
mcnt OF an age remarkable for its avoid
ance Of vivid colors and loud language.
But 1t 1s to be noticed that there Is in it
less about the King and moro about our
selves, and even the natural scenery OF
our domicile, than before; and our taste
and sense OF congruity will have ultimately
to decide whether this mixture Of motives

peal as the former single one There ia

Unpsychological

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: Such a pleasure to see F. P. A. re-
moved from the editorial page! Long may
he remain in some remoter part of the
paper 1t is not that there are not often
q have no doubt amusing things in his
daily contribution, but the plan of too
many of the newspapers-a plan that orgi-
mated in Chicago-of having a whole silly
joke column In the very middle Of the
most important page is unpsychological to
the last degree. In The Tribune especially
to make it impossible for the eye to pass
from the admirable editorials to the often
admirable letters to the editor without be-
ing struck on the way by whole column
of mostly silly jokes is misfortune There
is not too much sane discussion of the trc-
mendously important questions that we are
all forced to decide for ourselves in these
critical times, and nothing should be done
to interfere with the proper effect upon
puzzled minds Of The Tribune editorial

acquainted with the Palmer family,
after which they plan to steal the ia
nous Palmer jewels. The gang. of
which Miss Young, as Nan Carey, is
the leader, takes the name of Brock
ton. There is rumor of the pres
ence of Ferris, a famous detective.
and the Brocktons plan to work rap
idly. Nan obtains an invitation to
spend the night with the Palmers, but
instead of stealing the Palmer jewels
she discovers that they are paste, and
that her hosts are themselves planning
to rob the supposedly wealthy Brock
ton family.
The leaders of the respective bands
get together and call a general meet
ing Of both gangs for the purpose of
forming syndicate. The police are
notified, however, and the members
are arrested. one of the biggest sur
prises OF the story is when the real
identity of the detective becomes
known. The famous operative proves
to be none other than Nan, and
through the medium of a true ro-
nance that has sprung up between
herself and Tom Palmer, the leader
of the rival gang. the Palmer" and
"Brockton" families are allowed their
liberty while Nan devotes the rest of
her time TO establishing the reforma-
ton of Tom.
