WITH DISINFECTANT

The rattle snake which has been on
display in Gallenstein's window for the
past several days was killed this morn
ing very unusual way by Fire Chief

Limestone and on Market street be-
tween Front and Third. These lights
will be approximately 80 feet apart
and those between the squares will be
turned off at 1880 each night. Those
on the corners will burn all night. I'm
der this section Of the contract the

that this section will be retained in the
contraot

Question Of Labor.

The question which stands at the
front of all others in every country
amidst the present great awaken
ing is the question Of labor: and
perhaps / can speak Of 1t with as
great advantage while engrossed
in the consideration Of interests
which affect all countries alike as
I could at home and amidst the
interests which naturally most af-,
feet my thought because they are
the interests of our own people.
BY the question Of labor do not
mean the question Of efficient in
dustrial production. the question
of how labor IL to be obtained and
made effective in the great process
of sustaining populations and win
ming success amidst commercial
and industrial rivalries. mean
that much greater and more vital
question. how are the men and
women who do the daily labor of
the world to obtain progressive
Improvement in the conditions of
their labor, to be made happier.
and to be served better by the
communities and the industries
which their labor sustains and ad-
vances? How are they to be given
their right advantage. as citizens
and human beings?
We cannot 60 any further in our
present direction. We have al
ready gone too far. We cannot
live our right life as a nation or
achieve our proper success as an
industrial community If capital and
labor are to continue to be antag-

one another and contrive how they
can get the better of one another.
Or. what perhaps amounts to the
same thing, calculate by what form
and degree of coercion they can
manage to extort on the one hand
work enough to make enterprise
profitable. on the other justice and
fair treatment enough to make life
tolerable. That bad road has turned
out a blind alley. 1t is no thorough
