LABOR
And CAPITALISM
G. W. Andrews and Superintendent
A. c. KingsfOrd Before Fort
nightly Club

In discussing the "Open or Closed
Shop" before the Fortnightly Literary
club at the home of Mr. and Mrs. e.
M. Adams on Friday evening, G.. W.
Andrews stated the history of the
open and closed shop is the history
of organized labor and the history Of
organized labor is the history of labor
itself. Mr.. Andrews discussed the two
sides to the question and stated that
through organization the workmen
have advanced more and have not
been in such great dread of losing
their jobs. AS to the settlement OF
differences he thought there should
be an independent power to adjust
the affairs between. capital and labor,
in Kansas this is being tried and the
time may come when strikes will not
be the last resort.
Case for Capitalism
In dealing with the "Case for Cap
italism" Superintendent A. c. Kings
ford said the ideal situation on the
railroad would be for the engineers,
firemen, conductors, brakemen and
other employees to own the roads.
This would be like the situation 150
years ago when the weaver bought
his raw material and sold his product
Capital is money invested in an in
dustry and this state in civilization
has come about in recent times. Ma
chinery has changed conditions. Lux
uries Of yesterday are necessities or
today. More people live in the cities
now and there is more apt to be dis
The speaker held the socialists
looked upon the gloomy side Of the
question. Much credit is due the cap
italist for what he has done. Without
capital it would not be possible IT,
have the great systems of railroads
and other industries. These give free
dom and a higher type of living.
In a sotialistic state, on an equal
ity, there would be no opportunity for
opportunity for a man
or woman to show what could be-
done in the business or industrial
world. To destroy capital would be
like the man burning down his barn
to destroy the rats. Capital has done
much for mankind and is doing more
and more, the golden rule entering
largely into business.

ANGRY ELEPHANT
CRuSHES RIBS OF
CIRCUS EMPLOYE

Caught by huge elephant in the
"bulI-pen" of the Ringing Brothers,
Barnum & Bailey Circus headquarters
at Bridgeport, Conn, Charles Hamp-
ton, aged % and attendant, was maui
ed by the beast until other keepers
rushed to his rescue and probably
saved his life. Mr.. Hampton lis a
son of Mr. and Mrs. l.. A. Hampton
Of Baraboo.
An emergency physician when cal
led to the circus headquarters found
that Mr.. Hampton had suffered Sc
veraI fractured ribs, had a deep lacer-
alton of the forehead and also probab-
1y had internal injuries. He was taken
to Bridgeport hospital for treatment.
Hampton who gave his home as
the Barnum Headquarters, went to
Bridgeport when the Ringing Broth
ers herd was merged with that of the
Barnum circus.
1t is known that elephants have
their likes and dislikes so far as hu
man beings are concerned and those
who handle them respect this know
ledge.
Hampton, however, yesterday came
too close to one of the big male
beasts while feeding them. The body
of the brute swayed with unusual
cunning and Hampton was pinned
between the bodies of two elephants
The vicious animal then grasped
Hampton about the body with its
trunk and beat him against the
brick wall of the pen.
Keepers hearing the bellowings OF
the other elephants rushed across
the ring in the center Of the build
ing and with big iron prods forced
the elephant to let go its hold or
the man.
