STATE INSURANCE BEST
FOR STATE and WORKERS

NEW YORK, Oct. 16.-At
hearing Oh matters affecting the
state industrial commission Deputy
Compensation Commissioner Ar
cher said that the state insurance
fund provides insurance for en-
ployers at a cost of about 25 per
cent lower than stock companies.
Mr.. Archer showed that despite
this economy the state fund has as
sets of $7,OOO,OOO and a surplus of
nearly $750,OOO.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, Oct. 16. -
Auditors who have examined the
Ohio state controlled insurance
fund report that "the saving to pol
icy holders insured in the fund, as
compared with the rates charged
by insurance companies conducted
for profit in states with rates of
compensation of approximately
equal value, is at least 25 per cent
of what it would have cost in such
companies"
The auditors were selected by
the auditor of the state of Ohio, the
secretary of the Ohio Manufacture
ers' association and Secretary Don
nelly of the Ohio state federation

NAMING OF BOYCOTT
STARTED IN IRELAND
BY w. d. MAHON.

We take the following from the
book of Harry w. Ladder on "Bov-
colts and the Labor Struggle" as to
the orlginatiOn Of the word, "Bov-
cott"
Few words can boast of a curious
and interesting an introduction into
the English language as can the SUBJ
pect of this book-the boycott.
Il was dining with Father John O.
Malley'' writes James Dedpath, in
his Talks Of Ireland 1881, land he
asked me why I was not eating. T
sald' l am bothered about word
What is it?' asked Father John,
Well I said, when a people ostra-
else landgra bier we call it social
excommunication, but we ought to
have an entirely different word to
signify ostracism applied to a land
lord or a land agent like Boycott. Os-
tracism won't do. The peasantry
would not know the meaning of the
word, and can't think Of anything
No. said Father John, *ostracisr1a
wouldn't do He looked down, tapped
his big forehead and said, How would
it do to call it. to boycott him?'
"Then I was delighted, and I said,
Tell your people to call it boycotting.
SO that when the reporters come down
from Dublin and London they will
near the word. Use it yourself in the
Castlebar Telegraph. I'm going to
Dublin and will ask the young ora
tors Of the land league to give it that
name. I will use it in my correspon-
dence and between us we will make it
famous Father John and kept our
compact. He was the first man who
uttered che word, and I was the first
who wrote it,
1t thus happened that through the
wit Of an Irish priest and an Ameri-
can journalist name was given in
the summer of 1880 to that method
of warfare which was then being re-
sorted to by an enraged people against
the exactions Of the landlord class,
method which has since been used
time without number by oppressed
and oppressors throughout the civil
lied world. Incidentally also the in
famies of Captain Boycott were i'm
mortalized.

REPUBLICAN OFFICIALS
TRIBUTE TO PRESIDENT

Among the remarkable tributes
which were paid to President Wilson
by Republicans in the course of his
far west, that offered by State Sena-
tor James B. Weaver on the occasion
of Mr.. Wilson's visit to Des Moines
is regarded as one of the most force
full. The report of Senator Weaver's
Introductory address, as given in the
Evening Tribune (afternoon edition
of the Register. Republican news
paper), is as follows:
.Since November, 1918, we have
had time to measure in part the I'M
.mensity of the losses and burdens en-
tailed by the conflict. The sorrow
and hearta aches. are immeasurable, but
we know now that the debt Of the
seven chief nations has grown from
20 to 200 billions. The securities out
standing against these nations alone
are six times the amount Of the total
deposits of all the banks in the United
States, and 12 times the value of all
the gold and silver mined since the
beginning of the world.
You and 1 know that this path
leads to chaos. The terrible burden
of debt thus placed upon the backs
of the peoples Of the world is suffi-
cient, had it been used in the avenues
Of peace. to have transformed utterly
the face of the globe, raising its mill
lions now living in ignorance and de-
gradation into the sunlight of an en-
lightened civilization.
FavOrS League.
"Instead, the war has brought un-
told suffering and has left the hearts
of the peoples inflamed and embit-
tered; made restless millions even in
the lands most favored; and raised
on the horizon of the worlds life that
sinister and bloody figure of ire
sponsible savagery, the bolshevist.
''The question the President will
discuss is whether out of this night
of the worlds life shall come the
dawn of a new era-an era in which
by concerted action through the
league the resources of the nations
shall be devoted not to war, but to
the crying social needs Of the world.
For this humanity calls in agony
calls most of all to the great nation
whose isolation has vanished for
ever before the logic of changed
world.
This is the great cause your chief
executive comes to present. He comes
to the heart Of the middle west to-
night as yOur President and mine
He has carried uncomplainingly the
greatest load of responsibility, save
one, ever thrust upon the shoulders
of an American. He comes to coun-
sci with you upon issues vital to the
preservation of civiliza ton. You listen
to him in the most fateful hour in all
the ages.
Ladies and gentlemen, I have the
great honor to present the outstand-
ing, figure in all the world today
your President. Woodrow WILSON,"

keller the MAGICIAN
and HIS CARD TRICK

The hand Is quicker than the eye
and so is the typewriter.
Fifteen years ago there were two
great magicians appearing before the
American public, Hermann the Great
and Keller the Magician. Although
rivals they were great friends. They
were sitting together at Brighton
Beach one day when an admirer of
dermann's came up and started to
tell the latter how good he was.
"You know" he said, "that I am
something of an amateur sleight of
hand expert myself. T am sure no
one but yourself could have deceived
me with that card trick you did last
night" !:
"Oh," said Hermann modestly,
that was a very simple trick Any
one could do it. I venture to say
this gentleman sitting right here
could deceive you with it,
"I'll bet a hundred dollars he could
not" said the amateur and Hermann
took the bet.
A deck of cards was brought and
Keller performed the trick with ease
and grace.
Il guess you don't know my friend
Mr.. Keller" said Hermann as he
pocketed the hundred.
When any slight of hand promoter
wants to sell you wild cat stocks, or
to exchange something he says is sure
to make you thousands for every dol
lar you put UP. for your Liberty bonds
and War Savings stamps, you better
find out whether you know Mr.. Kel-
Ter.
A prospectus and a promise is all
the equipment these takers require.
There are more illusions in a pros
pectus than in a drug store make up
box. If a man has $4,000 salary, he
may be able to afford to take a
chance. If he has less than that he
cannot afford to lose.
You know there is no trick about
government savings securities. You
know they are safe, that they are
profitable and that you can exchange
your War Savings stamps and Say
ings certificates for cash at a profit
when you need it. The leaders of
the American Federation OF Labor
knew it also when they adopted the
resolution indorsing those Investments
as peace time necessities for guarding
the savings of the workers of
America.

PASSING BY THE MAIN ISSUE.

Scarcely had the steel strike got
under way when the newspapers
at least a goodly number Of them
began deyoting much space to re-
cording the past beliefs of W. z.
Foster, secretary of the general Or
ganizing committee
What Foster once wrote was made
the apparent issue. That Foster has
repudiated his early writings was
made clear by Samuel Gompers dur
ing his testimony before the senate
committee in Washington.
There are definite issues in the
'teel strike. Foster did not make
those issues. First of these issues
is the principle of collective bargain
Ing, which means that the employers
shall recognize the union and deal
with the chosen representatives Of
the workers.
1t means an end of the system
whereby a lone workman walks up
to strike bargain with the United
States Steel Corporation!

WEALTH and LABOR

Robert Burns, the Scottish poet,
who lived at the time of our revolu-
ton, was one of the worlds foremo ost
champions OF democracy. He had
the knack of producing unanswerable
arguments of which the following
stanzas are typical:
See yonder yoor, o'erlabor'd wight
So abject, mean. and vile,
Who begs brother of the earth
TO give him leave to toll;
And see his 1ordly fellow worm
The poor petition spurn,:
Unmindful, though a weeping wife
And helpless offspring mourn.
If I'm designed yon 1ordings slave
BY natures law design'd-
Why was an independent wish
Fer planted in my mind?
If not why am subject to
His cruelty or scorn?
Or why has man the will and power
To make his fellow mourn?
The labor world., 1919-10-18
SYMPATHY FOR LABOR.

Time and again, one hears the ex-
preston from good men and women
~ sympathize with Labor It
denotes friendly interest, but what
an odd expression, and, in it's analy-
sis, what a strange thought! "Sym-
pathize with Labor"
Sympathy should be directed to
the weak, the unfortunate, the err
ing, but those who do things and do
them we'll need no sympathy.
Compensation measures best any
recognition for services rendered.
Sympathy savors of charity-ex-
tending by way of donation or gift
Charity is mark of tolerance, and
results in the satisfaction of ones
personal sentiment, or the gratifica-
tion and display of ones own desire
for ostentation. Aims are given for
personal satisfaction as much as for
the alienation of suffering.
If one works for another, why
should the employer give his en-
ployee sympathy? The employee
does not expect it, nor does he want
it. Less of sympathy and more of
compensation is what is desired and
needed.
Sympathy denotes lack of proper
adjustment. We may sympathize
with man who is getting only $500
when he is caring $500, but the
man who is earning $500 and get
ting $500 needs no sympathy. His
is recognition.
So let these philanthropists and
the good men and women of church
and state, welfare workers and good
citizens, who are trying to help the
man who tolls, and at the same time
find their names and pictures in the
press, get down to fundamentals and
secure for Labor, not aims, not sem-
pathy, but FULL WAGES, which Is
FULL RECOGNITION.
Sympathy, get thee gone! In SYM
pathy, there is philanthropy; in rec
ognition, there is justice.
Why veil sympathy between the
naked fact and the understanding?
Look straight at the thing, and DO
JUSTICE.
Justice is mans work-God's
deed.
1t is time that we dealt with Labor
in manly and Godlike fashion.

THE FIENDs OF POLITICS.

THE FIENDS OF POLITICS.
1t is a strange series OF stories
about the mental condition of the
President that are emanating from
Washington. and they are being cir
culated at time when it is plainly
evident the country is flooded with
persons who seem to have little re-
spect for our laws, institutions or
the high officers of our states and
nation.
But the strangest thing about the
whole matter is that these spurious
stories are said to come from the
cloak rooms of the United States
senate, from the lips of men holding
he highest legislative offices within
the gift of the people. One of their
stories is that the President is suf-
fering from a blood clot on his brain
and that he will never again be a
normal man. Another is that in his
last speech on the League of Nations
he talked in "such a rambling and ir-
rational MANNER" his physicians and
friends insisted that he be hurried
at once to the White House under
the pretense that he had "suffered
a complete nervous collapse" "The
physicians know" they say "that the
President has become mentally un-
balanced"
From the same source there was
circulated during the campaign Of
1916 slanderous story against the
moral character of the President,
which prompted the Republican Ma
tional committee to engage a mil
lion dollar special train to carry a
number Of rich women across the
continent to further spread the scan
dal. 1t should be said in passing that
Mr.. Wilson received the electoral
vote in nearly every state these fe~
male scandal mongers visited.
If Thoughts ars forces' the moral
pcrchclimbers on Capitol Hill would
assassinate President Wilson in the
slough of alteration. They would
cruelty him on the double-cross of
SANDER and infamy.
There is no doubt about the fact
that President Wilson is or was a
very sick man. He has been drawing
upon his reserve force ever since he
went to Washington. He has thrown
his superb mental and physical
strength into the duties of his Of
flee and the cause of the common
people of this country and the world.
His endurance has commanded the
admiration of all who have been in
close touch with him and his great
work. His friends feared just such
breakdown as has come to him,
and they are consoled and hopeful
from the information given out by
his physicians that his pulse, res
piration, heart action and blood pres
sure are normal and have been since
the onset of his illness. His freedom
from organic trouble would indicate
that there is no evidence of disor-
der in brain or body.
But this assurance does not stop
slander with it's fleeting wings, the
purpose Of which is to destroy public
confidence in the President of the
United States. A Czolgosz, Guiteau
or Booth is merciful compared with
the tribe of political schemers who
are engaged in poisoning the public
mind as to the mental condition Of
Woodrow Wilson. 20 God forgive
them, for they know not what they
do

Feeling seems to be intense at the
Industrial conference at Washington.
The spirit of give and take is con-
