shing a liberal salary and allowance
to oversee, and Sam didn't think he
was out Of order when he arose and
said his little piece.
But Pershing, the man whose soul
is wrapped up in the killing of human
beings, that victory may be wrested
from a weaker army, took exception
to the assertion and entered into a
nasty TRADE against any man who
claimed that his organization or frater-
nifty had any part in the winning of
the war.
We sympathize with Sam as we do
with the General, to a limited degree,
and we cannot gainsay the fact that
we learn little more strongly to the
Generals idea than we do to the sug-
gestion of Mr.. Gompers.
Certainly labor won the war-but
it was not all organized labor.
Comparatively few members of the
highly skilled crafts were sent :,to
the trenches. for the very simple rea-
son that they were needed in the
factory, the mill and the mine.
Trained men were needed on the
railroads, on ships, in the mail SER
vice and thousand other places
where their best patriotism was shown
by sticking to theif jobs.
And the, thing that was stronest
in the mind of General Pershing was
the fact that every man who labored
in any, plant, whether under govern

men and destroy nations from his
earliest schooling.
To make it more plain, let it be
known that the General has been on
the government pay roll for so many
years that he knows nothing at all
regarding the earning abilities of any
individual.
In fact, securing the education he
possesses was made easy for the Cen
eral by the government, which paid
his tuition and gave him very liberal
salary for learning that which he YVES
taught.
The General, therefore, is not III a
position to undersatnd the human e!e-
ment of Mr.. Gomper's allegation.
On the other hand, Sam Gompers
had to go to work when he was but
a kid and at 13 came to America, rhe
land Of promise and liberty, with but
little more than strong desire to
learn his trade as a cigar maker, and
possibly be of some benefit to those
bread.
Sam Gompers is one of the best
educated men in America today, with
an understanding of human ills and
needs greater than possessed by any
other man in the world today.
And Sam had feeling, way down
in his simple soul, that labor had
done something towards winning the
war;, that the government paid Per.

Good Ship Normally Carries
Folks Back to Days Labor

The stout ship Normally, plough

where the fervid William Lloyd Car
rison poured out the Walls of his Wrath

The scenes of slavery days were
reenacted with fidelity. Jobless men,

multitude and offered their bodies
in exchange for food and shelter.

for white men ranged lower, $50 be-
ing the highest price bid. A number
of men, followed from want, aroused
no interest among the bidders, while
dog was bought in at IS.
The auction was the idea of Urban
Ledoux, New York philanthropist,
who made a first-hand investiga ton
of unemployment in Boston and de-
cided that something should be dcne
about it. He rented a building and
has been helping the suffering men
to the best of his ability.
He is permitting the workers to tell
in their, own way their stories of mis-
cries endured during the past six
months. The auction, he declares,
should convince skeptics that the
men who tramp the streets by day
and sleep in the parks at night are
not parasites, but victims of a lcp-
sided social system.
This is one of the men that you
used during the war;" Ledoux said,
introducing a. former service man.

KINDNESS ONE OF
THE. 'DURABLE
SATISFACTIONS"
Is a Little Seed from Which
Comes Golden Harvest

This old world of ours needs all the
kindness that you or Or any one else
can put into it. Nothing that costs so
little can give greater return. No.
thing is more limitless and nothing
has a finer grace. 1t is as, fine and
beautiful in the humblest charwoman
as it is in a queen. It is the symbol
of a good heart. 1t makes one mem.
ber of a certain fine aristocracy, the
aristocracy of the kind. There is a
world of truth in these words. "Kind-
ness is like the sun. Everywhere the
kind man goes, he brings into being
priceless things-golden sympathies,
radiant faces, glowing and grateful
hearts,"
1t is easy to prove this to be true
in our own experience with life. 1t is
easy to prove that kindness is little
seed from which there often comes
golden harvest. No one ever yet saw
truly great man who did not have
the element of kindness strong in his
nature. 1t is the outgrowth of
great heart. 1t is the attribute of
something fine in ones nature. Never
is it more graceful than when it re,
veals itself in the very poor and hum,
BILE, and that is where it is often found
in the greatest abundance. 1t is as
fine grace as a young person can ac,
quire. would look with suspicion
upon any woman with reputation for
being habitually unkind. I think that
kindness may be reckoned among the
durable satisfactions" of life. No
one yet ever regretted doing a kind
deed-no, not even when it has been
unworthily bestowed. An old lady
with the kindest of hearts once fed a
tramp and in return he stole purse
containing a couple of dollars from a
shelf in her kitchen. When some one
asked her if she was not sorry she had
fed the tramp, she replied:
"Why, no; being kind did me good,
if it didn't him, and some day he may
be sorry he took my purse"
The next morning the purse was
found in the dooryard with the money
still in it, the tramp having thrown it
there in the night. Kindness always
pays. Its dividends are sure, and Of
ten we never know how large they are
because of the way seeds of kindness
have of blooming in other hearts.

SIX SOUND FORMULAS
FOR BUSINESS MEN

Six formulas adaptable to business
men now passing through the "tem
porary process of contraction and re.
adjustment" were recommended by
Thomas w. Lamont, member of the
banking house Of J. P. Morgan & Co.,
in statement read in New York at
business mems convention.
"We are all feeling the discom-
forts of this process" Mr.. Lamont
wrote. "No one can foretell the dura.
ton of this process or estimate accu.
rately its immediate and final results.
Necessarily this period of uncertainty
renders it most difficult in business to
make today decisions that have a
bearing upon the long future. Fixed
formulas of conduct, policy and future
engagements are hard to write. There
are, however, some things every man
engaged in active business can do:
"We can resolve not to be fright
ened into panic by the wolf that may
not come.
"We can meet our contracts to the
utmost limit of our resources.
"We can take our losses like gooc
sportsmen.

Planning Too Many Things.

It is an easy habit to fall into, that
of planning to do many things and
neglecting to set about doing any.
There are many youths ambitious to
help the world and to be of use at
home, and to strengthen their charac'
ters by good deeds and thoughts; but
they spend so much time planning
what they are going to do that they
never start doing anything, and hence
all their plans come to naught. IL
would be much better if they would
decide to put every good thought into
action Immediately, then something
wold be accomplished. Do you not
think it would be better to carry out
one plan to the end than to make a
dozen and not carry out any?

Just sing a song gof cheerfulness,
Twill glorify the day,
For the sun is shining earthward,
And God is in the way;
And heaven beams above us,
And the shining angels say.
"Sing song of cheerfulness,
And sing it every day"
Sing a song of cheerfulness,
No matter what you meet,
Bring a joyful presence
To every friend you greet.
Confident in marching,
And hopeful in retreat;
Singing songs of cheerfulness
Helps to keep you sweet.
Sing a song of cheerfulness,
Twill surely better prove;
Brave in all misfortunes,
| No matter where you rove,
Fix your mind on duty,
And fill your heart with love;
Sing a song of cheerfulness
Trusting God above.
