1t Has Happened Before.

AS his relatives and friends are
aware, George Wharton Pepper is a
nonsmoker
Not long ago Mr. Pepper was about
to entertain some distinguished guests
whom he delighted to honor.
His first move in the direction of
their entertainment was to procure
and send to the house some particu-
larly choice Havana cigars, which
''set him back" to the tune of so
cents each. But it seems the cigars
arrived before it was made known at
home that the guests We're expected.
That evening Mrs. Pepper said to
her husband; Some cigars came for
YOU evidently a gift from some
one. Knowing you didn't smoke, |
gave them to men who We're working
in the house. Philadelphia Ledger.

ADVANCE MUST BE GENERAL
Anarchy in Russia Proves That Labor
and Rest of Society Must Go
Forward Together.

The future of labor lies in stabilizing
democracy. In that alone is progress.
One of the great problems of peace Is
to erect an industrial democracy upon
the solid foundations of political de-
mocracy. That can come If labor is
patient and prudent and self-control-
led, but it can never be brought about
through the application of theories of
confiscation or class war.
AutOcracy has failed, and failed
criminalIy, but the failure of bolshev-
ism is no less complete. even though
the consequences have been restricted
to single country. There is no hope
for the world in either. The fate of
Russia proves that labor must go for
ward with the rest of society. 1t can
not advance alone. 1t cannot take
everything and give nothing. If it ever
tries. 1t will wantonly waste most of
the substantial fruits Of the war.

The secret of youth is ELINIINA-

This done, you can live to be hundred
and enjoy the good things of life with
as much pep" as you did when in the
springtime of youth. Keep your body
in good condition, that's the secret.
Watch the Kidneys They filter and
purify the, blood, all Of which blood
passes through them once every three
minutes. Keep them clean and in
proper working condition and you have
nothing to fear. Drive the poisonous
wastes and deadly uric acid accumula-
lions from your system. Take GOLD
MEDAL HARLEM Oil Capsules and you
will always be in good condition. You
will feel strong and vigorous, with
steady nerves and elastic muscles.
GOLD MEDAL HARLEM Oil Capsules
are imported direct from the labora-
tories at HARLEM, Holland.
They are reliable remedy which
has been used by the sturdy Dutch for
over 200 years, and has helped them
to develop into one of the strongest
and hearthiest races of the world. Get
them from your druggist. Do not take
a substitute. In sealed packages

Partners in LIES Work.

at this tins several aspects of the
labor question demand consideration.
We need to emphasize the meaning and
necessity of labor-to show that 1t Is
both law and a means of service. We
need to emphasize the difference be-
tween productive labor that performs a
service and makes wealth, and unpro-
ductive labor that wins wealth away
from others and lives upon their toll.
We need to emphasize the fact that in
dustry is partnership, and so it de-
mands the participation of all parties
as partners in the enterprises. We
need to realize that the relations in in
dustry are human relations, and so
it is necessary that the relations of
men with one another should be just
and bcotheriy relations.-Exchange.

Birds Have Rlaht Of WAY.

Fowl have the right of way in air,
warns the director of military aero
nautics. This is justice indeed, since
birds flew first.
But this is not all. Recently many
towns along the Atlantic coast have
been visited with dead bird showers.
Aviators flying by town would see a
flock of wild fowl coming their way.
They would set their machine guns
and let the bullets fly.
Presently prominent citizen walk
ing below would be hit with a large
bloody bird. He complained to the
town. and the town complained to the
department of agriculture. Then the
federal migratory bird law between
the United States and Great Britain
was referred to, and it was found that
shooting birds from airplanes is un-
lawful.

LABoR's RIGHT TO ORGANIZE
Acknowledgment Merely Puts Work
inaman on the Same Plane as
the Capitalist.

If there is not a right on the part
or the workingman to organize, then
there ought not to be right on the
part of capital to organize. 1t is the
organization that makes capital strong,
and it is not fair, from the legal point
of view or any other point of view, to
prevent the rest of the men dealing
with capital from getting strength
with organization that only organiza-
ton brings.
1 am for the laboring man. Justice
must be done him or there can be no
justice in this country. We must all
be partners in the game of government
and no one man must be allowed TO
play the part of hog.-Woodrow VIII

gained in confident vision for the fu-
ture
Every national and international,
every local union affiliated to the
American Federation of Labor, has
made definite progress in securing for
its members greater advantages in
those things which are fundamental of
betterment in all relations of life. In
some organizations the success has
been phenomenal.
Taking the labor movement as a
whole there has been greater progress
in securing the shorter workday than
in any other similar period of time.
The meaning of these victories can be
interpreted only in the light of full
understanding of the meaning of the
shorter day. The shorter workday is
something more than an economic de-
mand. 1t is a demand for opportunity
for rest, recuperation and develop
ment; things which make life more
than mere mechanical drudgery.

Parchmented Leather Valuable.

Parchmented leather has greater
strength while hacking the elasticity
of tanned leather, and the betting of
NJ. Felice Gilardiri of Turin is designed
to combine these special qualities. The
hide being impressed deeply with a
trelliswork pattern, the compressed
portions are unaffected by tanning
agents, while the interior of the
meshes is tanned in the usual way.
The product has the required elasticity
and is claimed to be so strong that
belts may be much narrower than the
ordinary.

Howard Elliott, president of the
Northern Pacific, another witness,
urged early adoption of q national
transportation policy, declaring delay
only tended to make ''all classes un-
certain and unsettled" In adoption
Of the transportation policy he thought
congress should observe four princi-
pies, as follows:
Government regulatory machinery to
encourage the present transportation
system, so that rates will pay all costs,
including new capital needed for ex-
pansion of facilities; abandonment of
present method of adjusting wage and
working disputes, with substitution of
"a sane method of deciding these ques-
TONS" including adjustment OF
strikes; modification of the Sherman
law to permit consultations. and maxi
ing of federal authority supreme in
regulating rates, securities and ac-
counts. Railroads should have the
right to initiate rates, Mr.. Elliott ar
gued, adding that the interstate com
merce commission should have the
right of suspension and review.

The solid and gratifying progress of
cooperative labor organizations in the
United States was fittingly celebrated
last year by the dedication of the new
central building of the American Fed

President Wilson, after reviewing the
labor parade, and his tribute to the un-
derlying spirit of organization in labor
was cheered by men of all types and
stations in life.
