ATTITUDE OF
ABRAHAM LINCOLN
TOWARD LABOR
He Placed the Man Higher
Than the Dollar in His
Scheme of Thinking

The attitude of Lincoln toward labor
grew out of his experience as a work
er, his conflict with slavery, and deep
and persistent thinking on fundamen-
tai industrial relations. BY reason Of
all these elements in his life he came
to convictions regarding labor that
stand firm today despite the great
changes that have taken place in in
dustry
Lincoln had no hesitation about as
cribing the first place in the economis
order to labor Labor" he says, is
prior to and independent of capital.
Capital is only the fruit Of labor, and
could never have existed if labor had
not first existed. Labor is the super
ior of capital and deserves much the
highest consideration.
That is the way Lincoln placed th
man higher than the dollar in hi
scheme Of thinking If that attitude
of mind existed among the Legislators
judges and executives Of our countr
what change it would mean toward
labor!
But he realized that those who tor
have a constant struggle to maintaii
the priority of the labor: "As labo,
is the common burden of our race. Sd
the effort of some to shift their share
of the burden onto The shoulders of
others is the great durable curse of
the race"
To him labor" was common
burden and he was against the fellow
who wanted to be released Of his
share by some form of special priv
ilege.
But he is for the worker getting the
full return for his labor. sAnd ina
much as most good things aIe 81
duced BY labor, it follows that ali sue.
things of right belong to those whose
labor has produced them But it has
happened in all ages of the world that
some have labored and others have,
without labor, enjoyed a large proper
ton of the fruits. This is wrong and
should not contiue. To secure to each
laborer the whole product Of his la
Dor, on as nearly as possible, is a
worthy object Of any good govern
ment
One wonders what Lincoln would do
were he sitting at the White House
today Would he let the steel mag
mates, the coal barons and the stock
yard profteers get away with it, OF
would he 90 in for a real new free
dom" for labor In the light of his
heroic achievements no one can doubt
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1920-09-03

but that he would line up the forces
of government for industrial justice
and freedom.
No one may question Lincoln's 10y
atty and reverence for the law and for
its institutions, but he had no illu-
sions about the usurpation of power
by the supreme court. He said: q
do not forget the position assumed by
some, that constitutional questions
are to be decided by the supreme
court; nor do | deny that such deci-
sions must be binding, in any case,
upon the parties to the suit, as to the
objects of that suit, while they are
also entitled to very high respect and
consideration in all parallel cases, by
all other departments of the govern
ment At the same time the
candid citizen must confess that if the

When one recalls how the supreme

EIGHT HOUR DAY
AND HONEST WORK

At seventy three, Thomas A. Edison
said he was glad the eight-hour day

writer in Leslies. No one would wish
to return to the y or 14-hour day
A reasonable short day has been found
to be profitable to employer as well as
just to employee But the day may be

bounds of justice and to wipe out

If your child shows any sign of
defect, remedy that defect now. Don't
allow an impeachment of speech to re-
main. Suffering and stammering are
no longer excusahle. There are so
many good methods of overcoming
both that both are rapidly becoming
extinct. See that throat and nostrils
are open and the articulation good.
See that the teeth grow straight, that
eyes are not strained and that older
children do not force your child to
run and walk at an age when its
little legs will become bowed. Dane
ing lessons and physical culture give
ease and grace to awkward, self
conscious youngsters. The present
system of teaching fOlk-dancing in

The mouth, too, can be enlarged or
