Mr.. Bowser came home to dinner
with look of sorrow on his face.
Mrs. Bowser noticed 1t the first
thing, but, thinking he had a slight
case of the collie, she did not say any
thing. At the dinner table, she like
wise noticed that he had tears In his
eyes at times, and she intended, when
the meal was finished, to recommend
some eye-water to him. When they
had retired to the sitting room and
Mr.. Bowser had sat down and sighed
six or seven times. Mrs. Bowser kindly
inquired:
"Dear, aren't you feeling as well as
usual this EVENING""
''NO, I'm not" was his reply, 81 have
been through 9. strenuous day. What
have seen today will forever cling to
my memory, even If should live a
thousand years !"
'"Then you have seen something's
she asked. ~-e---.sz- -.., ~ ....e
II have, Mrs. Bowser-I have stood
face to face with death and it was the
death of one very near to me-"
did the roof of your Office fall IMP
"Don't be silly. My office boy is
dead. One moment he was alive aad
in bounding spirits; the next moment
he was dead boy" -r--...e.
"Why, that surely was a bad acct
dent" said Mrs. Bowser. "You told
me, about month ago, that you had
changed your boys. Was this. the new
boy?"
'It was. His name was Nero Fitz-
simmons and he had been with me
just a month, The old boy, who had
been with me about five years, became
dissatisfied with his wages. He turned
to painting. He got so he could paint
a pig pen and SO he Joined the paint
ers' union. They went on strike a
few days ago for eight hours day,
five days in week, and seven dollars
a day, and the boy shook hands with
me and departed. Yes, this was the
| new boy. He was good boy, -as all
Office boys are. He carried off my
! SOIu pen, carried OH my postage
stamps; and picked up any loose
change lying about, but he did so with
innocent intent. He believed that
things were not evenly divided up. He
believed that he had right to have
my property and so he tried to acquire
1t. Poor Nero! Shall 1 ever find an
other like him?'
But about his death?" queried Mrs.
BOwser.
my Office is on the eighth floor Of a
skyscraper, you know. There were
some men working on the sidewalk,
and Nero leaned out of the window to
watch them. They saw him and asked
him some questions. AS near as I
could make out, his answer was that
they might go to the devil. Nero was a
bit emphatic in his language, but he
didn't mean anything by it. His heart
was as innocent as that Of lion. One
/ Of the men threatened to punch Nero's
head, and the innocent boy leaned far
out of the window to make faces and
shake his fist. He leaned too far. I
was about to reprimand him when he
fell. Alas, poor Nero fell to his death
He struck on the men and then bound

States, one is prone to attempt more clearly de-
fined phase of the relationship between labor and
capital
While capital is engaged in a continual effort
for greater production and increased efficiency la
Dor is wagng ceaseless battle for better living
conditions. Neither can be blamed for the atti-
tude Of what may be termed "self-preservato4
However, capital cannot function without labor;
neither can labor exist without capital The two are
essentially inerdependent, each owing its existence
to the other. Therefore, when strife or friction
arises between these Two greatest factors in the
affairs Of humanity, the world suffers; individuals
become embittered by priyaton, inactivity and Of
ten starvation. The world becomes a seething
cauldron of turmoil that retards cur progress and
often results in the wanton less of human life.
To say that there should be no strikes or labor
and capital troubles is striking at the impossible
One light as well say that man should not continue
his struggle for civilization, that the world should
cease It's ueNelopIneHt' just So loHS do ulC WOllu
exists in its present state of human occupancy will
>we have the struggles, be they physical or mental,
between the two ruling powers of the world-labor
and capital.
Which is in the right-which has the most at
stake? Labor is fighting for the actual needs of
life while capital is striving to produce these neces
sites at lesser cost. None can, with accuracy say
God, alone, is competent TO judge.
Capital with all its power cannot overshadow
the human element that enters into the situation as
regards The relationship of capital and labor. On
the other hand, labor cannot thrive and prosper
without the aid and cooperation of capital. 1t
is. however. sef-evident that labor fights battle
that encompasses every element of human desire
and need
Therefore, it behcoves mankind not to Judge
too harshly the man who fights for the means of
his livelihood. 1t is incumbent upon every citizen
that there should be a constant seeking toward more
equitable and harmonious relationship between cap
ital and labor Ever keeping in mind that both are
in a measure right-that one is essential to the
ether, and that the cooperation of the two will
result in good for all.

SATURD.A r NIGHT

Foreign themes may net +, Of much interest TO
us this week in view CT tn pressing events at home,
yet in the seven days summary of world happen
ings there are some high lights that have a relation
to our own affairs With scant mention in the
press reports, conference of one of the sub-com-
mttees Of the League of Nations has been holding
sessions at which the main subject under dicusson
was army and navy disarmament. This much has
been given out--ihat real progress has been made
along very definite program said to go far beyond
the Accomplishments of the Washington confer
ence Of ornaments Ii Is to be noted that the
League of Nations sub committee is known as the
committee on DISARMAMENT and not the
committee on ORNAMENTS. There is some
difference. The world will wait with eagerness
to be told what advances toward the goal of uni
versal peace have been made Ii is significant that
so far the only definite statements appearing in
print are to the effect that the republic Of Chile
in South America that has in years past been &C
cused Of causing considerable trouble among its
neighbors, is insisting on a disarmament program
for all of South America. Would it not be a
strange turn of affairs if the continent of South
America should decide to set all The rest Of the
world a practical example by scrapping its rifles
and its warships?

SHOULD KEEP CONNIE
Lake Wales Elighlander.D


The county commissioners, so the Highlander
is informed, have cut the county agents salary
about half. This means that County Agent CONNIE
will leave the employ of Polk county when his
term expires Aug 1, for no sef-respectng man
will accept such cut and CONNIE is fully worth
what he has been getting.
CONNIE, who is without doubt, one of the best
qualified citrus culture men in the state, can find
plenty of market for his services so that any ar.
gument made for his retention is not an argu-
ment in his personal behalf 1t is argument in
behalf of the fruit growers and the truck grow
ers OF Polk county.
1t is well to save money but do not sacrifice
efficiency to do it, That is not saving.

Things have been popping in Ireland all week
with fighting of a severe nature in progress in the
streets of Dublin. More than one hundred and
fifty casualties have been recorded while the prop
efy loss is said to amount to more than SIS 000,-
900. The nsurgent Republicans have put up a
great fight and it has taken big guns and trained
troops to reduce the Notifications behind which
the followers OF DeVaera had taken refuge. While
the situation in Dublin seems to have been pretty
well cleared there are indications that fresh trouble
is likely tic break out in other sections of that un-
happy country bfeore the Free Skaters have the
upper hand The state of affairs then is simply
this: the Insurgents are endeayoring to control the
government of the country through seizure CT the
postal and customs departments in order to control
the sources of revenue and thereby finance the re-
bellion. The Free State government brought into
being as result Of the treaty signed by that gov
eminent with Great Britain is the accredited ruling
power in Ireland and the only power recognized by
the British government. The Republicans under
DeNalera are seeking to overthrow the Free State
organization under Michael Collins, which, of
Is
trous to Ireland and cause of uneasiness through
out the English-speaking peoples of the world.
The Indian mutiny has evidently been squelched
because nothing more has been heard about
ditions there. China, too is evidently getting back
to normal after its latest r, n. said to have cost
thousands Of lives. Those saotries, too are going
through trials and diflcultie mat must have some
purpose in the general scheme of things. Those
familiar with Chinese history will realize what
tremendous forward step was taken when the
monarchy was overhrown and republic estab-
lished. The traditions of thousands of years had
to be overcome and a new order Of things started.
That is why there have been adjustments to make
on national scale; the work of centuries cannot be
destroyed or made over in day.
