A strict division on party lines al
ways has shown that there are more
Republicans than Democrats in this
country. This fact should give the
election to the G. o. P. this year. Both
parties have nominated good men and
there is not enough difference in the
platform to exert much influence in
either direction. There seems to be
little on which a campaign can be
based except. the past records OF the
parties.% In such a contest the "ins'
always are at a disadvantage but this
is offset in a measure by the fact that
they are in control of the patronage.
The indications are that neither party
can hope for walkaway. OF course
there is always the possibility of one
party or the other making a mistake
in electioneering methods Such mis-
takes have been disastrous to more
than one presidential candidate in the
past.

worlds Highest Paid Woman Wrasse.

The only difference between pleas
ure and work is our mental attitude
towards them. Golf is sport because
you have to pay out real money for
the privilege of playing ii. HoeinG
potatoes is work because you have to
hire som ebody to do it for you.
A woman is having a regular picnic
when she spends time and money
turning over lovely goods in a shop,
10 see how she looks in them. But
she regards herself as a poor unfol
tunate when she is hired to handle
pretty things in a store, or serve as a
cloak or hat model.
In reality there is no other such
fun as work. It's the big game that
calls into play every faculty that one
possesses that keeps one strung up to
concert pitch all the time because its
stakes are real. You are not playing
for counters. All you have and hope
for is staked on the outcome of your
efforts
Some women take this outlook on
earning their own living. They are
bright-eyed, wide-awake. jolly business
women who have an interest that
naver pals in their job. There is al
ways something new for them to find
out about the thing, they are doing;
there is always something exciting
trade; they are always looking ahead
building for the future; they are al
ways striving towards some new goal
The work may be hard. They never
notice it, so keen are they on results
They do the same things day after
day, but they see a myriad new faces
to even the most familiar act. The
hours are long. They are all toe
short for what they wish to accom-
plish. They are classed as working
women. They glory in it, for it means
that they are not dolls or parasites
but capable human beings able to
stand on their own feet.
They look with pity on the poor
lackadaisical creature who leans list
lessly against her counter, or sheds
tears all over her typewriter, and Ia
ments because she has no man to sup
port her and has to earn her own
bread and butter. Still more do they
pity the woman who finds no interest
in her work, who gets no thrill out OF
the sa cred JOY of independence, and
knowing that she has really earned
the contents of her pay-envelope. and
is of some use in the world, and so
justified in living.
AS a woman thinks, so is she.
Happy or unhappy. lucky or unlucky.
The man she is married to is a king
or a boor, just as she sees him. Her
work is worth while or not. as she
visualizes it. What a pity every
woman can't put the good thought on
herself and see her lot thru rosy
glasses!

Samuel Gompers failed at San Fran

might have succeeded with one or the
other but changed public sentiment

Business and the country will de-

more courage and firmness in deal
ing with the labor. problem. The
rights of labor must, of course. be
fully recognized; its higher place in
the world must be acknowledged; its
legitimate aspirations must be for
warded. But it must also be i'm
pressed with its social responsibilities.
Talk of the "toiler's right to live" is
an evasion of the question at issue.
Workers strike not exactly for the
right to live, but for higher wages.
shorter hours. union recognition, and
similar demands. To brand every at
tempt at legislation to prevent strikes
as an attempt to enforce economic
slavery or involuntary servitude'' is
far from the facts. There has been no
legislation tosprevent individuals from
leaving work. There has been no
legislation to stop underpaid teachers
as individuals from deserting tIfe pro-
fessionS in great numbers. There has
been no legislation to prevent farm
hands. badly needed as they are. from
leaving for more attractive offers at
industrial plants. And there will
not be-
What the unions have been asking is
not the right to quit work, but the
right to quit work collectively, sudden
ly, without warning; the right to pre-
vent others from peaceably taking
their places; the right to obtain their
demands under threats and coercion.
II there were any way of calling a
strike so that its evil results would not
fall primarily upon the public, if there
could be a strike in which production
were~maintained, and the only thing
stopped were the profits of the en-
ployers from that production, then
union leaders might plausibly insist
upon the right to strike without "out-
side interference. But the real dam
age wrought by a strike is not the loss
to the emploNer; it IS the loss to the
community. Most strikes are not a di-
rect coercion of the employer. They
are an attempt to coerce the public
into coercing the employer. They are
most feared in proportion as they are
most damaging to the public interest.

But they, when ail is said and done,

And round my feet are roses red,

No lovelier beauty shall there be
On earth thru all eternity.

Shall be the sun which shines today.
And men a thousand years from now
Beneath the self-same skies shall bow;
This June 18th loneliness to see
Is all that June shall ever be.
So would walk along my way,
Glad with the sunshine Of today:

Despite the trifling joys ! miss,
That future ages shall not own
More loneliness than l have known. 4

They may grow kindlier and give
More thought to how their brothers live,
But never shall the sun display
More spIendor than it does today.
