Secretary Weeks is to be congratu
lated for his excellent selection OF
field colonels. in the making of ap-
pointments to the rank of brigadier
general. Among the most recent Sc
lections of distinguished fighting
colonels selected by the Secretary for

ing the hearty approval Of Washing
tonians, who recall his excellent serv-
ice here. prior to the war, when he
served a detail as adjutant general of
the District of Columbia militia 1t

work that the department rendered to

The story is told that back in 1899
Castner, then a lieutenant. arrived in
Manila. after undergoing exploring
hardships in Alaska and shipwreck in
the Japan sea, where he was ordered
by Gen. Lawton to Immediately organ
ize native scout company at Manila,
which would lead the American troops
in their march nOrthward in the Phil

scurrying around Manila. and with
the assistance of a native chief of
police. could find only seven friendly
i natives who agreed to join his scout
], company. With the aid OF this, small

ahe most likely natives and. by dint OF
persuasion and other methods, mus
tered in a full company, which later
proved its worth. and from which
sprung the present splendid organiza-

The legislature of 1907 passed an act

fund was to be used to pay small bills for
which no appropriation had been made by
the legislature After this contingent
fund had been spent the Governor and
Council had no authority to issue any
warrants for the payment of bills for
services rendered or for materials fur
nIshed unless the legislature had made an

recommendation, law was passed in

I latter is quality generally absent from
the closed shop, because of the extent 10
which socialistic tendencies have per
meated the unions. Unions have become
DULLES, having grown until they terror
ize both employer and worker. They
have left the owner of the closed shop
virtually no voice in the conduct of his
business But this does not place the
employer in opposition to real construc-
tive unionism. He is opposed to the evils
that have grown into unionism, not to
the thing itself''
II think the tendency among laborers
and employers is in favor of the open
shop and for arbitration by Joint COM
mittee from both the employers and en-
ployees, as advanced by the recent ac-
ton in the Pennsylvania X. R. case.
Il believe in unionism and in collec-
tive bargaining. The two comb bined have
spe labor towards its just rewards But
l do not believe in labor's domination of
business or government any more than l
believe that capital shall dominate.
'In the open shop the workman can
give, as each workman should give, to
his task the highest degree of efficiency.
There isn't any other way to keep wages
high and lower the cost of living to any
appreciable degree. The menace of the
present day is inefficient production.
The Stacker, the loafer on the job, is not
only the greatest obstacle to labor's ad-
vancement, but he is cheating his fell
lows more than he is his employer. The
workman who deliberately adds to cost
robs his fellow workmen who must buy
and impedes the way to that ideal condi-
tlon in which wage exceeds the cost OF
living and there is balance for the bank
account, for home requirements, indul.
gence and amusement.
'My idea of the closed shop is that il
encourages slothfulness and inefficiency
and holds back the energetic and pro.
gressive workers for the reason that eacf
in his class gets the same pay. A feeling
is engendered that the employers art
antagonistic to the laborers and tina
labor is degrading, whereas it is as digni
fled as the capitalists activities
SIN the words of Governor Coolidge
All growth depends upon activity. Lif,
is manifest only by action. There is ne
development physically or mentally with
out effort, and effort means work. Worl
is not curse, it is the prerogative O.
intelligence, the only means to manhood

do not work. The growth of sentimen
that despises work is an appeal from civ
ilization to barbarism.'
81 agree that the measure of success il
not merchandise but character. But
do criticise those sentiments, held in al
too respectable quarters, that our eco
nomic system is fundamentally wrong
that commerce is only selfishness ant
that our citizens, holding the hope of al
that America means, are living in indus
trial slavery. l appeal to all to reiterat
and sustain the doctrine that the MAJ

that the man who works there worship
there, and to each is due not scorn an(
