thinss.-Forbes Magazine. IN. W
SIMS AND THE SITUATION

One having opportunity to read the
comments of the press, and the cor
respondence of those contributing to
the columns of the newspapers. Is
aware of a crystalizing of public SEN
timent respecting the attitude Amer
lea should assume towards the Irish
question The report of Admiral
Sims speech has very materially con-
tributed to this.
1t would be difficult to demonstrate
that his remarks were made with
propriety. Indeed it is generally con-
coded they were improper if made as
reported Nor did they imply due
recognition of the fact that in this
country there undoubtedly are as
loyal Americans as we have, whose
sympathies naturally go to the land
Of their nativity in its struggle with
England There is increasing evil
dence, however, that not a few of
those are coming to see that the Sim
Fem is not representative of their
views and that some of the methods
resorted to do not meet with their ap-
prevail. But above all are these of
conservative mind coming to see that
this country of ours must not be
dragged into the quarrel.
Presumably Admiral Sims had un-
pleasant experience during the war
with certain of the elements now
composing Sim Feinism. We hope
that on his return to this country he
will be investigated. His testimony
would be interesting and it might
prove profitable. The testimony of
General Dawes was interesting and
profane, but notwithstanding the
profanity served to clear the air.
Meanwhile some careful consider
alton of the situation would seem to
be very desirable. The seizure Of
machine guns-through accident, it
appears, and not because of any Wig
lance on the part of our authorities
at New York-reminds us that after
our Civil War England had to pay US
fifteen and a half million dollars be-
cause of damage inflicted by ships
she built for the Southern Confed-
eracy. 1t is charged that arms and
munitions have been going to Ire
land from this country. We do not
think the people of this country wish
it to be held responsible for arming
and eQuipping an army in Ireland. If
what Sims said may help to prevent
this he will not have spoken in vain.

The Old Maine Forts

Boston Herald)
The var department recommends
that veral historic old forts along
the coast of Maine shall be MAIN
tanned no longer as units in our sys-
tenn of coast defence. This does not
mean, however. that these fortifica-
tions are necessarily to be dismantled
and destroyed or sold upon the auc-
ton block. Congress ultimately will
have to decide just what shall be
done with them. The department
merely points out that for military
purposes these establishments are
useful no longer. The science Of long
range gunfire and the progress of
aerial warfare have made these par
ticular Maine forts obsolete, a fact
that the general public has long
realized.
But as memorials of the patriotism
and engineering skill of the past
these forts have their sentimental
value. Historical associations cluster
about them all, associations in which
not only one state but the nation as
a whole takes interest and pride. AT
the mouth of the Kennebec stands
Fort Popham, reminiscent in name
and site of the ILL fated colony Of 1907
There is old Fort Knox at the mouth
of the Penobscot. Fort Pepperel was
built by the father of Sir William
Pepperell of Kittery more than two
centuries ago. Other Of the old
strongholds between kittery Point
and Quoddy Roads have their stories
and did their part before the mod
ern forts, such as those in Portland
harbor were built. Picturesque to the
eye of the tourist and dear to the
people of their neighborhoods these
old forts should be preserved much
as an historic frigate is placed on the
retired list. The people of Maine
were quick to resent what they
thought was an order for the total
abandonment of the forts. Now that
the purport of the recent recommen-
dalton is better understood they have
an opportunity to plan for the pres
eIVation at least of some of the forts,
not as useless units in our present
defence system, but as memorials of
the past.

MAN THE MASTER?

Us man the master of the civiliza-
ton which he has created, or is he
its victim?"
This pertinent question the Presi-
dent of Dartmouth College ably dis
cussed in a recent address.
Deadly gases which give the in
dividual man capacity to destroy
whole populations, availability of
the possibility of propagation Of
these. genius for mechanical devices
by which the destructive forces Of
explosives can be timed at q desired
place for maximum effect-such are
resources for the Samson. blinded
mentally and spiritually, who would
make the pillars built for the support
of civilization become its destruction.
But. unless the spirit Of education
is dead and civilization has lost it's
courage. that civilization has not
breathed life into inanimate force
only to run in terror from it's threat.
The situation offers to men of our
time the supreme challenge of all his
tory
The legislative hall. the courtroom
and the prison are alike powerless in
this realm We cannot make men
good by legislation, nor make them
work by Injunction. nor can we dis
cover malign intentions by the threat
of punishment. Only by rehabilita-
ton OF the mind of man and increase
of the areas of intelligence and good
ness OF man TO an extent that shall
eliminate the chance OF evil infec-
ton can the opportunities of life be
insured"
The speaker finds over profession
ahzation of the point of view and he
wonders what it is we think we are
trying to do, to accomplish: What
is the object of constantly increasing
the speed with which we vibrate
within our given orbits" He con-
clpdes that SO long as we look at the
things we do, as ends in themselves,
we will miss the perspective that
win make our work vital to the
world. He cites the lawyer more in
terested in the intricacies of the law
than he is in justice; the business
man thinking solely Of what he can
get out Of 1t rather than what he can
contribute to the economic wealth Of
tho world.

blindness that the tragedy Of it was
that the victim in consequence OF his

Common Sense Returns
(POf.t Herald

Common sense seems to have re-
turned to those members of the Bos-
ton Typographical Union who left
their work in the Boston newspaper
offices, for after two days they have
voted to return and at the wage
against which they struck. This ac-
ton was taken after the men had
been informed in no uncertain man
ner that the strike was clearly lille
gal and unsanctioned by the local or
International association.
The men were working under a con
tract that prohibited strike and re-
CURED all matters of dispute to be
submitted to arbitration. The wage
dispute had been submitted to arbi-
tration and the decision was learned
to be against the men and they imme-
diately deserted their machines and
cases and the newspapers We're hard
put to it to get their issues to press
on time. Success was attained by
making a radical reduction in the
number of pages.
The important thing regarding this
strike is not so much the differences
leading up to it, as the matter of the
value of contract. The Boston print
ers in the newspaper offices were I'M
der contract to continue at their en-
lployment, an important feature in
newspaper offices. The minute the
men quit work they violated their
agreement and an agreement that
II
a valueless agreement.
One thing organized labor must un-
derstand if it is TO prosper is that an
agreement entered into is an agree
ment that must be kept 1t may prove
announcement at times for one party or
the other to live up to the terms of an
agreement, but that it must be done,
there can be no question. Otherwise
there would be no sense of entering
into an agreement or contract.
The contracts that the typograp phi
cal unions have entered into with en-
ployers have been the source of the
strength of that organization and un-
til recently these contracts have been
religiously kept, with the result that
publishers found decided benefit re-
sulting to them in the belief that for
stated periods of time they would
know the conditions under which they
could conduct their business and that
the contract would be adhered to.
But not long since an outlaw strike
was conducted in New York City-the
men calling it taking voluntary va
cation'--and this week the same con-
ditions obtained in Boston In New
York City the men continued the
strike for considerable period of
time and many plants were removed
from the city and a number of large
contracts were made with western
publishers. In Boston the men seem
TO have come to their senses in less
time and it has been forced on their
realization that a contract entered in
to is contract that must be fulfilled.
1t is expected that the situation in
Boston will be restored to normal in a
few days and that by the end Of the
week the newspapers will be enabled
to conduct their business along nor
NAL lines again. 1t is to be hoped
that the Boston printers have learned
lesson relative to the sacredness of
a contract.

Service and Snobbery

(London Daily Chronicle)
One of our national shortcomings
which it was hoped the war would
extirpate seems as much in evidence
as ever 1t is the foolish idea that
there is anything degrading about do
ing manual work Work has never
been a tradition with us, as it is with
some other nations. One diStin-
guished foreign critic has attributed
this fact to our laziness. Whether
this is the whole truth we think is
open to doubt. But there is no gain
saying the fact that much of our pre-
vailing distaste for work is due to
snobbishness. We think it more gen.
teel to pay others to do work than to
do it ourselves, and vast sums of
money are expended yearly in pay
ment for services that foolish class
prejudice prevents our rendering to
ourselves.

LARoR'S ATTITUDE

Mr.. Gompers blames the German
workers for not preventing the war,
yet the convention at which he spoke
though worthy of serious considera-
ton a proposition to tax industry for
the benefit of the unemployed; to es-
tablish a six hour day and abolish all
overtime; and another to provide
pensions for the aged Here we find
the same mental reaction to condi-
tons that was shown in Germany.
That country. through legislation in
some respects similar, had made of
the working people wards of the gov
eminent. They had been educated to
depend on the government and the
tools of those who might succeed in
controlling it. This would be an alb
ject surrender Of the spirit that has
made this country great.
That labor organization has leg
itimate and fruitful field cannot be
successfully denied. That it is not
being properly titled the report of
that convention in Denver is amply
conclusive. No practical proposition
for meeting changing conditions, for
recognizing the inevitable lowering of
wages along with other things, was
suggested. Instead, the time was oc-
cupied in denunciation OF those
who urge that wages must come
down to meet conditions. The con-
vention would have the government
tax the public to continue the run
ming Of the railroads at loss. 1t
had no word of condemnat ton for the
prohibitive demand on American
shipping and offers no way by which
the hip-owner, the manufactures
and the producer in other lines may
be able to compete in the markets of
the world.
In other words labor appears to
depend on the power of numbers in
organization to change the currents
OF life. and to give no heed to the
possibilities for using foresight, ini-
tiative. skill in perfecting. shrewd-
ness in adjusting. Here is the labor
unions weakness. 1t does not inspire
invention but circumscribes it; it does
not suggest Improvement in methods
but opposes it. 1t never inspired an
Edison and it never will until it
changes it attitude.
