One Inalienable Right.

Washington Herald: There is one,
just one, absolutely inalienable right
the right to work. It is inalienable
beause no man ever surrenders it, or
deeds it away Enforced idleness is
worse than slavery, since slavery at
least gives occupation and provides
food, clothing and shelter.
Any government, no matter what
else it grants, fails in its fundamental
obligation, when it does not stand be-
tween its people and idleness. If work
can come in no other form, if econ
omic conditions are such that private
enterprise cannot provide employ
ment, then the state should fill the
breech.
It is economic folly that public works
are undertaken in volume only when
employment is ae high-tide and wages
at the peak. It would be economic
wisdom and justice to expand public
works when there is most idleness and
wages lowest. The taxpayers must
meet the cost in either case, and if
taxes are rightly levied, this employ
ment would be paid by those who could
best afford it.
1t is not a complicated proposition.
Any government of any unit from
Federal to city, can so arrange its pro-
gram of public improvements as to
provide work in periods of stagnation.
It can have a sinking fund for this
purpose. It would then be a buyer
in the market when prices are lowest
It would, as buyer, stimulate produc-
tion and in that, lessen the number of
unemployed. It would also increase
or restore purchasing power, and
again stimulate private production.
The United States and the states
could easily have given such employ
ment in some form during the past
six months. If they had done so to
even a third of the number of the idle,
this would have opened employment to
the rest through added production
Some time this will be the accepted
rule. It is what organized labor
should make the chief item of its pro-
gram. It should claim this inalien-
able right of work for all, as including
all the rest life, liberty and the pur-
suit of happiness.

Horseshoe Luck.

; Regardless of everything the coun-
try publishers can do or say there is
still tendency on the part of many
of their advertisers to write one copy
for their ad and then run it week after
week and month after month, which
reminds US of the story which Ebert
Hubbard used to tell about the horse
shoe.
Walking along country road he
discovered horseshoe which he re-
garded as an omen Of great luck. It
seemed to him a great day. because
he had proceeded but a short distance
when he picked up another, and then
another. The further he went, the
more horseshoes he found, until he
finally caught up with a slow NOV
ing team that was pulling wagon
overloaded with horseshoes on their
way to the melting pot.
Greatly discouraged, Hubbard drop
ped his cherished possessions with
the conclusion that while one horse
shoe might be luck, load of them
was only junk.
It is very much the same way with
this continual insertion of the old
standard advertisement. It may be
very fine for the first two or three
times, but continued repetition is like
ly to make it junk in the mind OF the
reader.

New-Found History.

The following is attributed by an
English newspaper to publlc
schoolboy: "King Henry the Eighth
was the greatest widower that ever
lived. He was born at Ammo Domini
in the year 1866. He had $40 wives,
besides children. The first was be-
headed and afterwards executed. The
second was revoked. She never smiled
again, but she said the word Calais
would be found written on her heart
after her death. The greatest man in
this reign was Lord Sir Garnet VOL
sey. He was surnamed the Boy Baehe-
lor,' being born at the age of 15 I'M
married. He after said had he served
his wife as diligently as he served the
king she would not have deprived him
of his gray hairs. In this reign the BIZ
BILE was translated into Latin by Ii
tus Oates, who was ordered by the
king to be chained up in the church
for greater security. 1t was also in
this reign that the duke of Yelling
ton discovered America and invented
curfew bell to prevent fires, most OF
the houses being built Of timber. Hen
nv the Eighth was succeeded on the
throne by his great grandmother, the
beautiful and accomplished Mary
Queen Of Scots, sometimes known as
The Lady of the Lake. or Lay OF the
Last Minstrel. He died in bed IN the
last year Of his age"

! Book Costs.

One reason why library funds have
shrunk is found in the increased book
cost. Miss Lois Jordan Of the Order
department of the Public Library re-
ports that Juveniles which the library
used to get for $1.25 are now $1.75.
Many have gone from S rs to $1.00,
from $1.50 to $3.50. Fiction pub
lished at $1.25 and $1.35 is now pub
lished at $1.75, $500, and $3.50 with
the paper, print and binding in most
cases much inferior to the earlier
books. The best of fiction formerly
could be purchased for $1.35 and $1.50
and in quality was much of it superior
to the most of the output today.
Popular reprints which used to be
so cents are now $1.O0. The Every
mans library selling at 35 cents is
now $1.0O. The prices of classed
books have gone up 40 to SO per cent,
some publishers being worse offenders
than others. Especially is this true
of some American representatives OF
English firms.
The library, in estimating the cost
of books when placing an order, finds
that to the publishers list price it is
frequently necessary to add so cents
or 100 rather than to deduct 10 or Is
or 20 per cent as it used to do

Joy Of Life.

It's pleasant to be living when
springtime has the floor, and natures
kindly giving the best she has in store.
The blue birds and the red. ones their
lays triumphant sing; I'm sorry for
the dead ones who can't enjoy the
spring. It's pleasant to be tramp
ing along the dewy void, at early
morning, lamping the beauties mani
fold. Oh, there are times and seasons
when woes my soul exhaust, and
have divers reasons for thinking life
a frost; when winter winds are shak-
ing the chimney and the door, and
rheumatism's making each passing
hour bore; when autumn transforms
drizzle as though they'd never quit, |
feel that life's a fizzle that ne'er will
make a hit. But springtime makes
me grateful that am here to see, and
any gent is hateful who doesn't prance
with me. The people leave their
touches to greet the smiling morn,
the kickers and the grouches, the
sickly and forlorn; the hungry and
the fed ones, they form merry ring;
I'm sorry for the dead ones who can't
enjoy the spring. But maybe they
are knowing spring that never dies
where clouds are never blowing across
the spangled skies; and maybe they
are giving some thought to us, ane
say, "We're sorry for the living their
spring must pass away!"-Walt
Mason.

Labor's Influence.

Canton News: The influence of the
American Federation of Labor on in
dustrial conditions in Great Britain,
and eventually in other countries OF
Europe. may be traced in the refusal
of the railway men and transport
workers to join the British coal min
ers in precipitating general strike.
When the executive council OF the
American Federation of Labor met IN
Washington few weeks ago, 1t ad-
opted a resolution withdrawing from
participation in the international Union
movement as long as radical labor OF
the European countries continued to
subscribee to the communistic ideals.
American labor stood first for law
and government.
The withdrawal Of the railway men
and transport workers from the plans
for a general strike gave the radicals
in the miners ranks, those who were
pressing for naturalization OF the
mines, their first real setback. Ma
tionalization was the first important
step towards communism in Great
Britian-an experiment which would
probably have been disastrous there
as in other countries.
Great Britain is experiencing the
problem of dealing with class OF
citizens who would avoid the economic
penalization involved in the process
Of deflation. The miners would seek
to maintain themselves on a basis
that could not be enjoyed by other
classes of industrial workers, and they
would do this by forcing the govern
ment to take over the mines and con-
tinue wartime operation methods.
The action of the American Fedora
ton of Labor, in its REFUSAL to con-
tinue relations with radial labor ele-
ments of Europe, seems at last to have
aroused thoughtful labor leaders of
Great Britain to the fact that they
were. heading towards q very danger

LOCAL NEWSPAPER
"A NECES S 1T Y
Vivian w. Bradbury in Union On. "
News Dispatch.)

There are three most potent fac
tors in the life, growth and develop
ment of a community. They are, the
Church, the School and the Newspa-
per, and this is in the order of I'M
portance.
It is not our purpose here to eulo-
gize.
We will pass over the first two of
these factors, and perhaps treat of
them later. If the churches were
thrown out of this community no self
respecting person could stay here.
With all our material prosperity we
would soon drop back to conditions
such as ancient Rome witnessed. And
if the school were discontinued. ma
terial progress would also stop and
we would sink beyond redemption.
The church is a public institution
and is supported by voluntary con-
tributions. The school is also a pub
lie institution and is supported by
the state through taxation. The news
paper is a semi-public institution but
receives no public support but has to
earn it's livelihood through the regu-
lar channels Of competitive business.
It is Of the newspaper that we wish
now to speak.
If all of the newspapers and other
periodicals were discontinued today
the effect would be somewhat similar
to mighty plague sweeping over the
land. Darkness would creep in, the
darkness Of intellect, as people would
remain in ignorance Of the happen
ings in localities only few miles
c10 Hpyxy
| and telegraph communication would
soon fall into disuse because no stim-
illus would come from newspaperdom.
Even the postoffice receipts would
dwindle for much Of it's revenue comes
in direct response to advertising.
| The newspaper is the third great
agency in the advancement Of civil
cation, yet it is underestimated more
often than the first two. 1t is toe
often treated as merely a business
proposition. Few people seem ever
to get the vision that the true-blue
editor has of using business to advance
| the interests of a whole community
The preacher has one job-to preach;
the teacher has one job-to teach; but
the editor, if he be true, has a triple
job, and that is to preach, and teach
and hardest of all and whit all, too
to meet his weekly pay roll, pay the
other costs of production, and try te
get comfortable living land we al
have right to that. !.
Omitting the church and the school
we can make claim without exaggera-
ton, that a true newspaper is Of
more real Importance, does more gooc
with less money, gives more for less
money than any other business in 9
community 1t is true that some will
point to large industrial plants that
flourish in the community and say
that those concerns with their big pay
roll form the life Of the community
This we answer is only apparently so
This appears to be so from a superb.

But the life is more than food anc
the body than clothing. The big in.
