Shakesneare GAY.

There is one li.~.t in which Shake
speare is unique: he is gay. He is
the only great poet who is gay; for
Homer and Dante are somber. Pure
happiness is the rarest thing in po-
etry. You may search the collections
of excerpts not quite in vain for a
verse here and there that is not sad /;
but poetic sentiment is additionally
and habitually gloomy. Yet open
Shakespeare, and you almost always
open upon redundant, shining happi-
ness-John> Jaw Chapman

TO PREVENT GIRDLED TREES
Wire Wrappers Are Best and Need
Not Be Removed for Several
Years-other Protectors.

Young fruit trees are apt to be
girdled during winter by mice and rab-
bits unless they are protected in some
manner Wire wrappers with mesh
of one inch or less are somewhat
expensive, but they need not be re-
moved for several years. Cornstalks,
paper wrappers and veneer protectors
are effective, but should be removed
each spring, since they harbor injur-
ious insects and mice.

The Charter oak of Hartford, Conn.,,
in the hole of which the colony's char

survived until 1856, when storm de-

is a poplar which the Annapolis folk
call the Liberty tree 1t still stands
sturdy and green on the campus of
st. Johns college. Under this tree
patriots of the colony met and made
their pronouncements for freedom.

II Paws to Spray Trees.

That it pays to spray fruit trees
has been demonstrated in many or
chards this summer. It is common
to see sprayed trees loaded with
fruit in the same locality where or
chards that have not been sprayed
have an apple or a pear hanging
here and there over the trees.

Work of Leaf-cuttinq Bee.

The leSf-cutting bee drills in SAND
bank a hole ten inches deep and half
an inch in liameter and divides it into
about a dozen compartments or cells.
Each cell is composed Of pieces of leaf
cut into proper shapes and carefully
fitted together. Rose leaves and sweet
pea leaves are among the favorites
of the bees. The cutting is done with
the jaws, while the six legs hold the
leaf in position and enable the insect
to turn itself about with the precision
of pair of compasses. Some of the
cut pieces are perfect circles, others
are oblong figures of varying proper
lions. Having cut out the segment of
leaf, an operation requiring about
twenty seconds, the bee carries it to
the sand bank and then returns for
more materials. When piece has
been nearly cut off, the bee, in order
to prevent tearing, poises itself in the
air with its wings and completes the
operation with a clean cut.

LABOR SUNDAY

Sunday is Labor Sunday. The OBJ
servance of Labor Sunday by the
trades unionists of America was rec
commended at a convention of the
American Federation of Labor. In
recognition thereof the A. F. of L.
executive council issued a proclama-
ton, setting forth the aims and as
pirations of the labor movement of
America, and making an inspiring
appeal for the observance of the day.
Following is the proclamation in part
The labor movement fixes as its
goal nothing less than the complete
richness of life, without limitation of
of any kind, the attainment of the
complete human ideal, in all of its
economic, ethical and spiritual impli-
cations.
Through the inspiration of our la
bor movement, the Sunday preceding
Labor Day, which is the first Monday
in September each year, has come

A LIVING" WAGE

Samuel D. Warriner, head of the
anthracite operators committee, is
quoted as saying: eve believe the
wage paid anthracite miners today is
fair and just living wage"
Whenever an employer of labor
uses that word living" in a contro-
versy about wages we know precisely
what his mental attitude is toward
the whole so-called labor problem.
And we also know that it is men
tai attitude that is very largely re-
sponsible for most of the difficulties
between capital and labor.
1t is the attitude of the feudal
over-lord who looks upon his employees
as retainers to be paid just enough
to keep them in health to produce
profits for said over-lord.
A lust and fair wage" is one
thing, ''just and fair LIVING wage"
is quite something else.
Every man and woman who works
is entitled to a just and fair wage,
based upon an equitable distribution
between wages and profits of the
wealth produced,
There is no more reason for limit
ing wages to the mere living" point
than there is for limiting profits in
the same way.
The profits of the anthracite mine
owners always have been and now
are extraordinarily large. They are
entirely out of line with profits in
industry as whole in this country.
All the anthracite miners have ever
got out of it is enough to live at a
certain standard decided upon by the
operators.
The operators fix their own profits,
fix the price the' consumer must pay
and refuses to raise wages on the
ground that their employees are living
or words to that efect.-Cincinnati

ident Hall made this plea for the la
Dor press:
81 do not know of anything that is
brought into our unions that is dis
cussed more for its unfairness and
unjust criticism than is the public
press. Every trade unionist realizes
that he cannot get much consolation
or friendliness for the labor movement
in the daily press of the country,
and yet the only avenue of informa-
ton that is most friendly, that speaks
fairly for the men and women Of
labor is the labor press, which has
the hardest row to hoe. | hope that
the delegates to this convention, when
they return to their home cities, will
endeavor to stimulate an interest that
will make it possible to have larger
subscription among the membership
that may awaken a greater interest
among the men and women who
work"

LABOR DAY

Next Monday will be observed as
Labor Day throughout the United
States. The first Monday in Septem-
Der has been made legal holiday by
act of congress and the legislatures of
nearly all the states in the union. 1t
is distinctively an American holiday
dedicated to the American workers of
Drawn and brain. We have few days
so distinguished. The list includes
a May day to memory, a July day to
thanksgiving and December day to
sacrifice.
Labor Day is not alone for union
labor 1t is a day that has been set
apart in honor of all persons who
perform useful service in shops and
stores, in factories and mills, in Off
ces, on farms, in mines and on rail
roads. 1t is intended to be day for
rest and recreation, for study and re-
fection, day for planning and do
ing.
Labor Day celebrations, it is true,
are conducted largely by union labor,
which has the machinery for organ
izing such, but they are attended by
persons from all walks of life who
are as welcome as if they were mem
bers of organized labor. Indeed
union labor prefers to have non
members attend Labor Day gatherings
so that they may hear the union side
Of the great labor problem, and hear
ing it they may understand and have
sympathy.

AROUSING SUSPICION

Some folks, that is, just few
very, very few-just can't get over
their failure to deliver 90 and hand
over the city's electric light and power
business to the big corporation. They
are really peeved that everyone else
couldn't just see things their way.
Their wall has become so long and
loud as to arouse suspicion that there
may have been a gentleman of dark
complexion nosying around the wood
heap in the big deals connection.
Wonder if there is really something
to it! No, the big ads continue run
ming. 1t is not yet over.

into general national observance as
Labor Sunday, and to find in what
way the soul of Labor may give
thought and expression to its long
ings.
Because of the aims and aspirations
here set forth, we hold it fitting that
all churches draw close to their affairs
the soul of Labor on the coming. La
Dor Sunday and that the men and
women of labor everywhere make spe-
cial effort to cooperate with the
churches and to secure the co-opera-
ton of the churches with them,
in order that there may be in the
churches everywhere on that day a
great unison of expression in behalf
of higher, nobler life for the masses
of our people; and in order that there
may be everywhere a conservation to
the cause of human betterment, par
ticularly in those things that lead to
ethical and spiritual growth-in those
things that give flower and fruit to the
great idealism of our labor move
ment, the embodiment and the expires
sion of the idealism of our people.
May Labor Sunday each year bring
home to the masses of our people the
great good that humanity may yet
achieve, the lofty heights to which it
may climb, the inspiration and the
enrichment to be found in the great
American labor movement which is
the hope of the millions who toll.
We ask also that Labor Day, the
great holiday of the toiling masses,
dedicated to them and to their cause,
be ennobled and enriched by an eX-
preston of the same spirit, the same
high idealism and purpose, the same
uplifting, inspiring search for the
fullness of life and the same deter
mination to achieve triumph over all
ills and wrongs through our great
movement in its ethical and spiritual
aspects, as we'll as through its purely
economic operations.

FoRTY-TWo PAGES TODAY

Forty-two pages in this issue and
it is with profund feeling of pride
and qualification that the Press, this
week, lays itself before the people
of Hamilton and vicinity. And why
shouldn't the Press feel proud? In
this issue are advertisements repre-
sentative of Trades Council, many To-
cal labor unions, Chamber of Com
merce, Retail Merchants Association,
wholesale and retail merchants, man
ufacturers, contractors, business and
professional men, assuring the Press
that it has the confidence of all classes
in the city And of this fact we are
proud
Forty-two pages. Very few labor
papers throughout the entire country
will equal the Press in size this week,
the big week for labor papers. And
had we the time and facilities the
issue could have contained many more
pages, for everywhere, when called
upon, everyone seemed glad of the
opportunity to show their friendship
and kind regard for the Hamilton
organized labor movement by sub
scribing for space in labor's organ.
This issue is replete with labor do
ings throughout the country and at
home, and should be carefully read and
laid away for reference.
The business men of Hamilton, by
their liberal patronage, have shown
their friendliness to local organized
labor. Labor, in its turn, should be
equally loyal and patronize those who
so gladly assist the cause by every
means within their power Read the
hundreds of advertisements in this
weeks issue; every business in the
city is represented, and when needing
anything go only to those who are
assisting you. And above all things
buy in Hamilton-the old home town.
The Press desires to extend to it's
host of friends and patrons its most
sincere thanks for the generous pat
ronage extended and many kind words
of commentator, and trusts that its
future policy will merit their con-
tinuance.

THE BOSSES CHECK-O OFF

The refusal of coal owners to aban-
don their check-off and the silence of
newspapers on this subject, indicates
the unfair publicity toward mine
workers.
The coal owners use their check off
in the company store, to collect doc
tors fees, and for practically every
other charge connected with the life
of miner. The worker has no voice
in this proceeding-the money is just
deducted from his envelope.
In the case of the miners check-off,
the worker voluntarily assigns GER
tain amount of his wages to the union
representative, to be collected by him.
There is no comparison between
these two check-offs One is compul-
sorry and one is voluntary, yet the
voluntary check-off is pictured as the
essence of evil, while no mention is
made of the coal owners compulsory
check-off.
President Lewis offered to waive
the check-off demands of the miners
if the coal owners would abandon their
check-off. In reply the coal owners
cons trued the offer to mean that the
coal owners should not extend credit
to miners in commercial transactions,
and that the owners should deal with
as individuals. The miners re-
fused to accept this Interpretation of
their letter and because of the coal
owners trickery the present turmoil
exists.

NARROW AND WOODEN?

Government commissions are de-
vices that are intended to divide re-
sponsibility, said Major General Goe-
thais, builder of the Panama canal, in
speech in New York City.
Commissions are always ineffi-
cient," he said. "There is no respon-
sible head, but any one can shirk
responsibility by throwing it on the
others. We always want some one
who will accept responsibility if any
thing has gone wrong,
"The best definition | can give of
boards after my association with
them during the war, and the COM
missions while we were constructing
the canal, is that they are long, mar
row and wooden"
The popular demand of relieving the
president of much work can be met
by abolishing some of these commits
sions, said General Goethals.
IF today we would reorganize the
government, abolish some commits
sions and transfer their duties to ex-
ecutive department heads, and hold
them responsible, the presidents bur-
den would be relieved and we would
get back to the first principles of our
government"
