The death Of Robert e. Peary removes
one Of the worlds famous explorers. At
one time the discoverer Of the North Pole
would have been hailed as an undying
hero. Standards change. Recent world
events have served to obscure the discov-
cry of new regions. We ali pay tribute to
Peary. however, as a man who would not
let any encouragement bar him from the
goal Of his repeated efforts to solve one
Of the great mysteries Of the globe. How
different would have been the attitude
of the world If Peary had been able to
discover a vast habitable continent Of
land instead Of an endless waste of use
less snow and ice And yet how many
men sacrificed their lives to solve the
| mystery of the North Pole,

en- Rule, l am sure there would be very
few strikes. They should pay their en-
ployes living wage This wage ought to
be sufficient to enable the worker to
build himself home. to educate his fam
lily. to bring up his children in the proper
way and to put something aside for his
old age. The conditions under whrh he
works should be as sanitary as it Is pos
sible to make them. and he should be en-
couraged and given promotions IL hts work
so deserves Reviewing some Of the
notable examples of progress toward a
better situation for labor already cstsb-
lishcd by employers in many parts Of the
country. the article quotes General Wood
as saying:
There ought also to he some sort Of
a great profit-sharing plan devised. SO
that the employee might enjoy some of the
benefits to be derived from the profits of
his company.
"On the other hand, it seems to me that
the workingmen should also do their part
in improving tner efficiency First Of all.
ale workingm.n should seek to do all that
would increase their skill in turning out
more work at the present time. SO an to
supply the needs Of the world. They must
realize that wages arc paid from profits,

the material produced is Of the best and
that It ia in quantities sufficient to be able
to compete with the production Of other
factories, mills, shops which are working
in the same field, and with the produc-
ton of foreign countries. They must also

welfare of America al heart. They should
discourage--"and 90 per cent of them do"
all kinds Of violence or disorder. The
working people ought to beware OF those
preaching now and untried doctrines IL
they are hostile to our institutions and
the duly constituted authorities and the
constitution. They should respect public
officials, whose duty It is. in turn, to pro-
tect the lives and property of all the pco-
pie. Organized labor can do much to help
in eliminating such aliens as the Reds or
