A Pageant of Honor.

Despite unpropitious weather an
night at the Lincoln Memorial when
the gold medal Of the American In
stitute Of Architects was presented to
Henry Bacon, the architect of the
Memorial. by the President of the
United States. 1t is pity that the
elements We're adverse, for an impress
sive and beautiful spectacle was car
ried through which would have been
much more effective under clear skies.
Yet there was something significant
in the execution Of the program re-
gardless of the weather. The Lincoln
Memorial itself stands as the result of
unremittinS labor against adversely
and delay. 1t was fitting in a way
that the presentation which marked
the close of the annual session of the
institute should be held regardless of
external conditions.
This pageant, which included the
use, of the rejecting basin showed
strikingly the possibilities of this set

noble colonnade of the east front of
the Memorial forms a background un-

The east front of the Capitol is an
other setting of this character, in
some respects more practicable owing
to the single level of the immediate
plaza and the breadth of steps and
approach to the building itself. On
this space have been presented nu-
lures.
Washington is rich in these oppor-
tunities for elevating and instructive
presentations. There is no other city
with such facilities. 1t was appro-

In an age of modernism which has
to a large extent relaxed so-called
orthodox belief in the actual divinity
Of Christ. The Life of Christ" by
Giovanni Papini. translated freely by
Dorothy Garfield Fisher, appears to
the general public as something OF a
novelty. Papini makes no conces-
sions to theories Of symbolism and
the divinity Of human genius as re-
CARDS the birth of Christ. He up
holds the literal sonship of Jesus to
God. the incarnation, the immaculate
miracles. The spirit of the life" is
mystical. Love Is shown to be the
motive power in the life of Jesus and
the central ideal In His teachings.
The doctrine Of love and sacrifice Is
what distinguishes the religion of
Jesus from even the nobiest or the
pagan philosophers Papini is gen.
orally recognized as one of the fore
most literary men of Italy today.
His work is somewhat severely critf-
cized by his fellow author. Luigi Pr
randello. as reactionary and also as
unduly harsh toward modern devotees
of Plato and Socrates.

About Us

We have noticed an advertisement OF one Of the
laundries down State in which they are giving away
= $3.50 to holders of lucky duplicate numbers, given with
each dollars worth of laundry work. Now, in reading
on, we see they charge 6 cents for damp wash, 8 cents for
Thrift Service and II cents for rough dry. This is an
average of more than 20 per cent higher than the price
we charge for these services. So, we say, is it not better
to give a high quality OF work at a reasonable price than
to charge 20 per cent more and give 10 per cent OF it to
the lucky holders of coupons?

"Where Sanitary Conditions Prevail"
The Connecticut labor news., 1923-05-11
By JOHN R. FORD, Justice, New York State Supreme
 Court

Our criticism is not leveIed at the courts in their capacity as arbiters in controversies involving personal rights but only in the exercise of the usurped power to decide political questions which rightful1y belong to the domain of legislation. Clnging to the shore in quiet back waters, the judges are insensible to the turbulent rush of the mighty stream of human activities and least of all qualified to understand the multifarious relation ships and conditions of industrial af- fairs or the complicated problems which grow out of them. Those ques- tions should be dealt with by legis- latures composed of the responsible representatives of the people under the free play of public opinion For public sntiment in the long run will rule the country just as the founders of the government intended it should
 There is more ominous feature in the tendency of the judiciary to legis- late for the people. The simple fact is that of all departments of govern ment the judiciary has been looked after by the interests. Their infuen- tial lawyers have faithfully sought to get "safe" judges on the bench. That is "safe" as Wall Street understands the term, Particularly have they been successful in procuring the appoint ment of "safc" Federal judges Con- slider the line of presidents we have had during the past century.

 IGNORING WASTED LABOR POWER

Oklahoma to the Canadian boundary.
 The governments system, based on voluntary action, charged all this as the harvesters swept northWard with the ripcning grain.
 The labor turnover has been called ''the individual strike" Wealth be- yond computation is wasted because of this ceaseless march of dissatisfied workers in and out of factories be- cause of low wages, long hours, poor sanitary conditions, spy systems, hn- ing systems, harsh. rules, tyrann1c fOremcn, dangerous machinery, and other reasons.
 II costs money to break in'' new emplOye. The cost varies with the job. But the business man makes no changes in shop conditions. He ac- cepts the labor turnover with the same faith that the world at one time accepted yellow fever as a supernat- ural visitation.
 The physical wastes of the labor turnover are terrific drain on indus try, but the spiritual effects are far more costly to the nation.
 The labor turnover develops in man a restlessness that, passes for "'inde- pcndence." But this has no value. There IS nothing constructive behind 1t, and 1t tends to the hobo life
 Business men who continually de- mand immigration never dream of tapping this vast reservoir for good citizenship and industrial production.
 Immigration advocates are not in terested in ending the labor turnover, or preventing fatalities, accidents, and sickness, These things are not even mentioned by them.
 They treat workers as they have treated natural resources-skim the cream and let other generations pay the cost.
 They make no attempt to adjust the job to the man.
 They would spend dollars, to save pennies, They fatter themselves on their "shreWdness," if they can manu- fracture false public opinion to sup pert their ignorant, wasteful, and an policy.
