Organized Labor Balks at Revolution

Organized Labor Balks at Revolution
Whether you are in sympathy with
organized labor or not, you cannot
shut your eyes to certain facts.
It was demonstrated at Seattle and
has been shown in other ways that
trades unionism balks at the red flag.
1t has also stood firmly against the
efforts of I. w. w. ism to invade its
ranks and prostitute it's case.
To say this is not to support mis-
taken labor leaders in all their pur-
poses and in all their acts.
1t is simply to reconize the demon
strated facts.
Labor organized and unorganized
has no more dangerous and destruc-
tive enemy than the I. w. w. Ism.
What becomes of the right to col
What becomes of the right to collec-
tive bargaining when the wage sys-
tenn has been abolished?
What becomes of the ability OF
capital to employ labor when all cap
ital has been abolished?
The American Federation of Labor
under the leadership of its national
heads balks at revolution.

Microbes In Our Clothes

AprOpOs Of the liability of demob-
ilized soldiers to contract colds as
soon as they get into "civies'' a cor
respondent suggests that probably the
civilian clothes are the cause, Wheth-
er they be warmer than the uniforms
or not. Sir Ernest Shackleton had
something to say about this matter
on his return from the antarctic. Not
withstanding the intensely low temper
atures and almost inceSsant billiards.
experienced, colds were quite unknown
until bale of clothing brought from
England was opened. The next day
there was an epidemic of colds in the
party, and Sir Ernest's explanation
was that the trouble was caused by
microbes that had been alternating. as
it were, in the closely packed clothing.

MIR. Devereux's history is both I'M
usual and unique For a number of
years, after completing his education,
he engaged in commercial ventures,
also in journalism, in New York City
and in Trenton and elsewhere in New
Jersey in association with the great
Roebling bridge-building concern, and
their activities.
Possessed of a voice of wide range,
and having always been more or less
of critic in both music and the
drama, he became interested in the
promotion of various clubs which
were working for a better and more
education and the drama
Finally, yielding to the urgency of his
co-workers, he gave up his business
career and began a systematic study
OF modern drama as it is presented to-
day. To become more familiar with
his new vocation he obtained his first
hand knowledge of the stage by APP
pearing for two seasons with such re-
putable companies as that of Anna
Russell (whO, at that time was pre-
senting series of old English coined
ies) and the company of Southern and
Marlowe. His success exceeded his
modest anticipation and elected num-
erous requests for his services, but he
was proof against the fiattering Of
fers that crowded his mail. He
politely declined all and at once set
about to organize company of his
own, wherein he would have a free
hand at developing the certain con-
ceptions of stage presentation and
manuscript Interpretation he had long
possessed.
From the inception of his independ-
ent move, over six years ago, his sue
cess was emphatic. Beginning with
little or no reputation whatever as a
producer, Mr.. Devereux by sheer
force of Individual conviction, rapid
ly became a recognized and leading
exponent of the best in drama, his
efforts attaining more and more i'm

HOME OF FAMOUS ORATORS
Eminent Men Who Have Occupied the

resignation of the pastorate of the

ing interesting incident: Coming TO
more recent days. it is just thirty years
ago since a trustee Of the tabernacle
spoke to Sturgeon about an American
preacher named Dixon. who had
spoken at the worlds Sunday-schOOl
convention. Sturgeon at once invited
him to speak at the tabernacle 1t is
interesting to recall the fact that they
might easily have been associated long
before. DR.. DixOn's father, who sus-
tanned a pastorate of nearly 60 years
In church in a wood, in front of

was the greatest preacher since Paul.
He lOnged for his son to have a course
of study at Surgeons college. Young
Dixon sent In his application. Spur
geon's reply was: ''AIy dear sir, you
can find institutions in your own coun-
try better adapted to your case. Please
accept this as final" Of course, it was
in that way that the great preacher
tested the persistence Of his candidates.
A. @. Dixon took him at his word, and
never applied again. He was, however,
destined to more than fulfill his ia
theirs desires, and following men like
Spurgeon, and A. g. Brown, he has
thoroughly maintained the tabernacle's
great traditions"

LONGEST British Strike.

The longest strike which Britain has
experienced was that which broke out
at Lord Penrhyn's slate Quarries at
Bethesda in October, 1900, and lasted
until November, 1908. During these
three years more than one and one-half
million dollars was lost in wages
alone; and whereas at the beginning
Britain imported no slate, at the end
ships were taking more than 1900
markets.

A HARMLESS Fly POISON

Despite all our efforts ond we'll

our homes. These demand immediate
attention of strong, sure hand, arm
ed with a swatter, or by the use of an
attractive drink of some substance
that will as effectively do away with
the unlimited pest as the swatter.
A solution of sodium salicylate
sweetened with a pinch of brown
sugar will be the lure for the average

and half teaspoonfuls of salicylate
of sodium in half pint of water, add
ing little brown sugar; partially fill
a tumb1er with the solution Place
piece of blotting paper over the top,
the size of a saucer, and on top of the
plotting paper place a saucer. The
whole is then quickly inverted, a
toothpick placed under the edge of
the glass, and the container is ready
for use. AS the solution dries out
of the saucer, the liquid seal at the
edge of the glass is broken and more
liquid flows into the saucer, thus the
blotting paper is kept moist.
This fly poison has the advantage of
being harmless to human beings while
being poisonous to flies, and is there

LENINE HAS GONE LITTLE

Pittsburgh, Pa-When the Western

rection of the postmaster general, re-
fuse the use of their wires to so prom

papers, political situation is forced
into view which democratic American
ism is not likely to swallow with
complacency, much less a smile
If this is to illustrate the political
outlook, there is little doubt Ameri-
ca is to become familiar with political
prisoners. That is a form of political
functioning which originated and cul-
tivated into finished form the Bolshe-
rism that has become a substitute for
czarism in Russia and which prompt
ed kaiserism to plan the enterprise
of suhiugating the world. 1t is a
form Of political autocracy which
produced endless professions of poll
teal prisoners in Russia and Germany
and which may bring similar results
here.
Lenine, who speaks for the dicta-
torship of the proletariat has gone
but little further than this in fact or
principle. Whether a dictatorship
comes from an enthroned aristOcrat
of birth or the spokesman of the il
literate Moujik makes little differ
ence to the victims of the tyranny
