THE TEST OF LEADERSHIP.

The eristing labor situation presents a test of the
quality of labor leadership. Has it the foresight, the
wisdom and courage to act for the best interests of
the whole body of wage earners and society as a
whole?
There is no real conflict of interests, for no class is
wnge-earners without jobs or on part time shows the
futiity of attempting to maintain wage-rates above
the economic level. The stubborn determination not
to yield simply delays the ~hoped-for revival. They
are not engaged in an argument in which the other
party may be convinced or coerced; it is an argument
with fate; an attempt to coerce economic law.
The labor organizations have great power, which
they may exercise for good or i'll. They are a part
of this free social system, which is dependent for pros
perity and progress upon the intelligent cooperation
of its members. Nobody can force them to work for
other hand can they force other people to buy their
products or services. There is no power of coercion
anywhere, except the general economic law which says
that unless a proprietor operates his works he may be
forced into bankruptcy and that unless a wage-eerner
has wages he may be reduced to hunger. All are in
terested in finding a basis of agreement upon which
industry can be restored to activity, but nothing can
be done except by agreement.
Undoubtedly the responsible labor leaders are in a
trying position. One of them is quoted as saying that
Tabor unions are not organized to reduce wages"
auctions. Leaders, however, depend for their lasting
influence upon their ability to lead wisely and to serve
the real interests of their followers, which means that
they must serve the best interests of the public as
well. There is no achievement worth while for any
class unless it promotes the welfare of the entire COM
munity. There is a fair adjustment of relations which
serves every interest best, because it produces the
greatest aggregate results. Anything short of that
yields less to every participant. This is not mere SEN

November IL will be a red letter day in future
American history. 1t will represent more than the
mere cessation of hostilities in the great war. In the
ceremonies attending the burial of Americas unknown
hero in the sacred soil Of Arlington we show the love
and honor we accord our defenders. In the gather
ing of delegates Of the powers of the world to con-
suit and devise ways to blot war from the earth, we
show our love for humanity. Surely these are things
worthy celebration.
We are trusting that November IL will mark the
passing of the old and the dawning of the new order.
An era in the civilization of the world. The estab-
lishment of mutual confidence among nations and
trust and ~brotherly love among peoples. With the
hideousness of war abolished, by the lessons and ex-
periences in which the nations of the world partici-
pated, with the barriers of steel and iron replaced by
simple respect and confidence, civilization will en-
bark upon n new epoch, more glorious than any ad-
vancement made since the world began.
The sorrows and sacrifices of the war have brought
determination to the peoples. A determination that
they will not again be driven to hatred and murder
Of their fellow men by the rivalries and jealousies Of
ambitious rulers. The world must change. The peo-
Piles have changed. There must be better things in
the future.

THE BUSINESS SITUATION.

The progress toward normal business conditions hal
been marked by an exasperating deliberateness that
has been discouraging; but the last thirty days have
been characterized by slowly improving sentiment and
by some expression of production. The most marked
gains have naturally been in those lines where recov-
cry has been the longest delayed. Bituminous coal
production is increasing, and while partially seasonal,
this to some extent is due to enlarged operations in
the iron and steel industry, which is now running at
about 40 per cent of capacity. There has been less
dustries, but gains made since midsummer have so
far held. Activity in the building trades is well main
tanned.
Autumn buying is reflected in an improved retail
drygoods trade. 1t is noteworthy that this betterment
is more marked in rural districts than in industrial
centers. This is clearly the result of the marketing
of'cotton and grain crops at fairly satisfactory prices,
and affords grounds for confidence that .he extreme
depression in the agricultural industry of the United
States has definitely passed.
Wholesale prices of a number Of raw materials have
advanced since September Is, while the markets in
several lines have been somewhat more active. eau
ton on the part of the wholesale trade has served to
keep the volume of manufacturers advance orders
small, but frequent repetition of orders for immediate
delivery has thus far served to render the present ba-
sis of operations fairly stable. There is no doubt that
the improvement which has thus far taken place is
less true that the progress made toward normal bust
ness is sound. Such temporary setback as may occur
after the autumn buying should, therefore, bring no
Encouragement. Viewing conditions as a whole, the
facts justify conservative optimism as to the future.

LIQUID DEATH.

"a Chicago bond broker drank moonshine and in
the crazed mental condition which the poison pro-
duced, cut his wife's throat" reports the Chicago
Tribune. "He said that she was quarreling with him,
abusing him, and was trying to take a check away
from him. He wanted to go to sleep, being saturated
with poison, and to obtain peace he used his razor
on her.
"There may be whisky in the United States. There
probably is some in private cellars. Whisky is bad
enough. 1t causes enough crimes of passion and in
sanity, of delirium and deranged mentality, but it at
its worst never contained the devils which are in the
liquor sold now as whisky.
"Wise men know that there is no whisky being Of
fered for sale. The best which the buyer gets is raw
spirits, possibly doctored to deceive his taste, although
that is difficult. The moonshiner and the bootlegger
are prisoners. Their illicit goods may be wood al
cobol or they may be high wines. They may be dead
ly directly or they may be deadly indirectly. They
may kill the man who drinks or he may kill because
he has drunk.
STAMPS, labels, and all marks of supposed identi-
fcation on a whisky bottle are false. They can be
bought by any moonshiner and any label may be put
on any poison. The only label which should be put
on every bottle of whisky offered by a moonshiner is
enc with the skull and cross bones"

Ministers and citizens OF Penn's

The new park would be land out by

Philadelphia, as an enlargement OF
its present wharf at the foot of Main

made for running picnics and excur-

NO MORE BUSES TO
DELAWARE CITY

Not enough business TO make II
paying venture along with the fact
that City Council Of Delaware City
is about to impose a tax on its We
hicles. has caused the Delaware
Rapid Transit Company to with
draw its bus service between Will
mingtOn and Delaware City.
The bus company opposed the tax
plan which had its first and sec
ond readings in City Council last
week. as was stated in these
columns, and is to come up tomor-
row night for final action.
1t provides for a yearly license tax
and $50 on machines carrying six or
than six passengers who pay fare
and so on machines carrying six or
more passengers who pay fare. The
ordinance also applies to trucks
carrying a tonnage equal to a bus
carrying six or more persons.
IF the patronage was sufficient
we would he satisfied to pay the tax, "
said an official OF the bus company
today I'VE carried more people
than the trolley company did. but It
didn't pay us: so we looked over the
field and. rather than pay the tax,
since already the line was not pay
ing we have put the buses on an
