mere figure OF speech but an actual physio-
logical possibility. DR.. J. Strickland Goodall.
British heart specialist, states that he has
eeen an animal rupture its heart through
Joy and has been able to work out thd mechan-
ism of the broken heart What happens Is
that the waste products from a violent emo
ton pour into the heart. stimulating that
organs nerves and contracting the blood yes

a suddenly increased resistance. 1t may break
in the effort. There minor degrees Of
heart-break and q pain over the heart may
mean the actual rupture of . few hbsrs.
Ordinary emotions produce much greater heart
wear and tear than ordinary work. In .

heart action increased from Its normal effort
Of I52 foot-pounds per minute to 2H foot

violent emotion may continue considerable

fact that emotion killed many more than hard

not be wise to start it soon and get

1t could wisely be used at first to
pay to our soldiers what the Gov
eminent so justly owes them.
Then, later, when our foreign
debtors pay eus the interest, nov

principal of their debts, the income
from this source could be used in
carrying out the bonus plans, and
the proceeds from the sales tax
could be devoted to other purposes

Something to Think About
on This Labor Day

ulcuIdi IcdcOu IOI thO Sio"AS 20
gressiveness and solidarity of the
laboring men. They are on the de-
fensive, and when they can they re-
sort to the military maxim which
proclaims the best defensive to be
vigorous offensive. .
If capitalists and employers con-
suited their own best interests, to
say nothing of the public welfare,
they would encourage and foster
labor organizations and combine or
ganized capital with organized labor.
Both would be parading today, in
the same ranks, arm in arm to-
gether. ..
The true interests Of capital and
labor are identical-flesh of our
flesh, bone of our bone, blood Of our
blood.
Every conflict between capital and
labor is economic civil war, in which
both are hurt and neither helped.
Some day the men who have cap
ital which wants to work and the
men who have labor which wants to
work will see the identity Of their
interests, and work together and
produce together and sell together
as a mutual benefit association.
To be in fashion, we ought to
say something today about the dig
nifty and honor of labor, and add,
perhaps, something about the greed
and wickedness of capital. But we
prefer to sacrifice eloquence and
sentimentality to common sense.
The ranks Of labor have their
day today, and we shall salute them
with as much sympathy and as much
respect as any will exhibit, but we
could be ten times as enthusiastic
if all the capitalists and all the en-
ployers in this city were marching
side by side with all the workers
and age-earners, all beneath COM
mon banners, all keeping step to the
music of common progress and COM
mon good will and common interest.
We like Labor Day. We admire
and respect what it stands for. We
lift hat to its marching hosts. And
we hope that some day. probably
long after the grave-digger has
dumped the clods on us, other hats
will be lifted to far mightier hosts,
marching in annual celebration of
the activities and benefcent results
of the one Big Union, in which
employer and employed will hold
cards of common membership.
The wisest economic teacher that
has ever lived was Jesus.
The soundest economic rule of
conduct ever formulated is the Gold
en- Rule.
Whenever capital and labor agree
to live on the terms laid down by
Jesus, the world will be a comfort
able world for everybody.
And what day Labor Day will
be then!

u ~ =
upon, at a banquet in San
Francisco, to propose the toast, "The
Laboring Man," whereupon he rose
and said:
IT now ask you to drink to
4 the laboring man, whom we all
honor-and avoid"
Bierce's sheer was intended for
+; the speakers who had been extrava-
/; gantly landing the dignity and honor
of labor, and most of whom would
not have walked down Market street
with hodcarrier or a bricklayer or
a street sweeper in his overalls. In
a way, the sneer was justifiable.
Most men and women who have
means and who dress we'll, dine well
and live in fine houses, avoid asso-
citation with other men and women
who are poor, who do not dress we'll,
who do not dine well and who do
not live in fine houses.
But then, on the other hand, most
poor men and poor women do not
care to associate with rich men and
rich women. They are not comfort
able in the company and surround
ings of the rich. And the rule works
both ways. .s
The fact seems to be that we all
do recognize the necessity Of labor,
and the credit due to those who do
the labor, but are all more than will
ing that the other fellow should do
it and have the credit.
Of course, we use the word labor
in its common meaning, which is
labor that must be done by the clock
and for wages. .
As a matter Of fact, nearly every
American does slabor-and the rich
man often works far harder than
the poor man-that frequently being
the real reason that he is rich.
The fundamental distinction seems
to be that one works at what he
wants to and at what he likes to
do, while the. other works because
he must and at what he can get to
do. On top Of which is the other diff
ference that one is his own boss and
the other is not.
\ We do not see how this difference
is to be abolished, so long as men
are not cut to the same pattern of
physical and mental capacities.
Mr.. Carpenter may be an en-
gaging young man, but Mr.. Demp-
sey will whip him any time they
argue with their fists.
The man with the hoe may be
everything that is good, but the man
with the executive ability will hire
the man with the hoe and sit in the
shade while the other sweats in
the sun.
Mr.. Gompers heatedly denies that
labor is commodity, but that is
because Mr.. Gompers confuses labor
and the laborer.
The laborer is not a commodity,
of course, but the labor which he
contributes to the common stock of
wealth is a commodity. It is for
sale, just as much as peaches, pickles
or pig-iron are for sale.
Organized labor is wiser than it's
leader. Laboring men get together
in union organizations because ex-
perience has taught them that in
this way they can sell their labor
for better price. The labor union
is a selling agency, just as the
Orange Growers Association or the
Meat Packers Association is a sell
ing agency.
