THE CHEAP LABOR FALLACY.

IF cheap labor meant prosperity, then China

IN a discourse cotton in the south.
II is the delus.on OF a profit in cheap labor as
compared with high-priced labor which has given
cities their ugly slums their breeding places of
crime bOlshevism, tuberculosis and other plaques,
moral physical AM economic.
II is the deluson that cheap labor is cheap which
has kept children employed in mills and
and mines stuntrs their growth preventing them
from becoming strong capable citizens.
II is the delusion that cheap labor is cheap which

The only profit in cheap labor is temporary. In

4 REDUCED SULTAN.
dearborn independent

With curious and wrong headed persistency,
many of our so-called experts will have it that to
disturb the Turk Constantinople to affront the
Mohammedans beyond all forgetting. and to remove
the Sultan from that city is to add insult 10 injury
Both conclusions are wrong. COnstantnOpIe is not
and never a holy city 10 the MOhammedans
and the Sultan more than usurper OF
the true Ottoman Calph.
COnstantinOple conquered city. and nothing
else and, for temporal became the strategic
headquarters OF the Sultan OF Turkey at a time
when the Turks had imposed their rule Asia
Minor with its Syrians, Arabs Kurds Armenians
and others.
The three holy cities Medina Mecca and
Jerusalem; and directly the Grand Sheriff of Mecca
strong enough 10 withdraw from Turkish
suzerainty, and the Turk not strong enough to
forbid him to do so, the sultan ceased TO be re-
garded of any consequence in the Mohammedan
world. since he no longer ruled over the holy city
of Mecca, either of the others similarly Con-
stantnOpe longer the capital city of the de facto
ruler Of the three holy cities. lost importance in
their eyes.
The chief reason for leaving the Sultan in Con-
stantinOpe is not because of what the Mohamme-
dams think the subject OF the holy city. but for
the logical reason that there are Turks there
than any other nationality; hence by the law OF
self-determinaton the Sultan belongs there, just
long the Turks choose 10 be ruled nominally.
By that ruler.

Thou with the merry eyes and clear
And joyous voice of dulcet tone:
Hail. hail to thee, thou strong Of limb;
Our praise is thine, Q youthful king,
For thou art pure of woe and sin,
Thy young hands yet but blessings bring
The monarch who is laid away
Within the catacomb Of years
Was harsh and ruthless IN his day
Seemed less to love our joys than tears;
We look for blessings manifold,
New Year, from thy pure sinless hand,
We trust thy heart will ne'er grow cold
Toward us-and our Native Land.
Bring healing to the hearts now sore
From wounds the cruel Old Year made;
The veil of peacefulness draw DER
The woes at each heart-threshold laid:
We cannot love a tyrant kingi
Our hearts refuse to loyal be
To one who takes delight to fling
Upon our hearts keen misery
Be kind to us-that we may say,
When comes the time for thee to go;
20 darling year, we grieve to-day,
Because we all have loved thee SOP

Hail and Farewell
FAREWELL TO The OLD

Old Year. thy life is well-nigh spent,
Thy feet are tottering and slow,
Thy hoary head with age is bent,
The time is here for thee to go;
Already in the frozen snow
lonely grave is made for thee;
The winds are chanting dirges low.
Upon the land and on the sea-
Old Year, thou vert friend TO some
To some thou vert Of worth untold,
Thy days were blessings, every one,
More precious far than shining gold;
But unto others, thou foe
Did prove thyself-an enemy,
Relentless as the chains Of woe
As ruthless as the maddened sea.
Some will rejoice to know thee dead,
Others will mourn thee as q friend;
Some will lock back on thee with dread,
Others their praises to thee lend:
I neither offer praise nor blame,
Old Year, for what You brought TO me,
For unto me both Joy and pain
Your active hands gave lavishly.
Thy solemn death-hour draws a-nigh-
And harkl hear thy funeral kner
Slow pealing through the darkened sky
