that a general argument should be
made in favor of popular institutions,
but there is one point, with its connec-
tions, not so hackneyed as most others,
to which l ask a brief attention. 1t
is the effort to place capital on an
equal footing with, if not above. la
Dor In the structure Of government.
1t is assumed that labor is available
only in connection with capital; that
nobody labors unless somebody else,
owning capital, somehow by the use Of
1t induces him to labor This assumed,
1t is next considered whether it Is
best that capital shall hire laborers,
and thus induce them to work by their
own consent, or buy them and drive
them to it without their consent.
Having proceeded so far, it is naturally
concluded that all labOrers are either
hired labOrers or what we call slaves.
And further, 1t is assumed that who
ever is once a hired laborer is fixed
in that condition for life.
"Now, there is no such relation be-
tween capital and labor as assumed
nor is there any such thing as a free
man being fixed for life in the condi-
ton Of hired laborer. Both these as
sumptiOns are false and all inferences
from them are groundless.
Labor is prior to and Independent
of capital. Capital is only the fruit Of
labor, and could never have existed if
labor had not first existed. Labor is
the superior of capital, and deserves
much the higher consideration. Capital
has its rights which are as worthy of
protection as any other rights. Nor Is
it denied that there is, and probably
always will be, a relation between
labor and capital producing mutual
benefits. The error is in assuming that
the whole labor of the community
exists within that relation. A few men
own capital and that few avoid labor
| themselves, and with their capital hire
| or buy another few to labor for them.

THORNY PATH TR0D
BY ENGLISH UNIONS
At First Practically OutIaWed, the
Workers Have Steadily Forced Rec
oenitIon of Their ights-Strikine
Result of One Court Decision.

Trades unions in England at first
we're generally frOwned upon. AS early
as 1905 a law was passed in England
defining certain trades union efforts to
raise wages as an illegal conspiracy.
In 1549 another law prohibited COM
binations of craftsmen to keep up
wages or reduce hours. In 1918 the
courts sentenced certain cotton spin
ners to prison for conspiracy to raise
wages. About the middle Of the Nine
teenth century the unions found them
selves so far outside the law that
they had no recourse against their Off
cials who might embezzle their funds.
They we're held to be, If not actually
criminal, yet so far in restraint OF
trade that the organization was an IL
legal association. This was heavy
blow. 1t started fight which con-
sumed several years before, in the
'7Os, they obtained legislative certifica-
ton of their legality, complete pro-
lection of their funds, and legal safe
guards against being sued.
The situation continued more or less
unchanged until in 1901, after 80 years
Of immunity, the courts decided that
these provisions had not been properly
enacted, and in the famous Taft Vale
case found the railroad union respon-
sible for damages inflicted by its mem
bers in the Taft Vale railway strike,
and assessed damages against the
union.
Unionism was shaken to its roots. By

FINDS WAY BY SIGHT
Bird Is Not Guided in Its Flight by
Instinct as Commonly
Supposed.

A British royal air force pigeon,
released from balloon mile and
a half above ground, was unable to
see the earth below on account of a
thick blanket Of clouds. After flying
around for little time the bird gave
up all hope of finding its way back
to its home, some one hundred and
fifty miles away, and settled down
comfortably on the balloon, much as
Noah's dove settled on the ark when
it could find no place to rest on
account of the waters.
The pigeon, however, had better
luck than Noah's dove, observes the
Kansas City Star After time a
rift appeared in the clouds, and the
bird swooped from the balloon
through the gap in the vapor, and
two hours later had delivered the
message tied to its leg.
This incident proves that pigeon
finds it way home by sight, not by
instinct, as many have thought.

700 YEARS OF DARK AGES
Learning at It's Lowest Ebb From
AIS to 1850 A. D. Owing to
Earbarians.

The Ozark ages roughly speak
ing, extended from the fall Of the
western Roman empire in Ats A. D.
to the revival Of learning on the dis
covery of the Pandects at Amalphi,
Italy, in 1150-altogether a period
of about seven centuries, says the
Detroit News. The period extend-l
ing from the fall of the Roman en-
pire to the capture of Constanti-
nople in 1853 by the Turks, is
known as the Middle ages"
The Pandects are collection Of
laws Systematically arranged from
Roman writer's ON Jurisprudence.
They were given the force of law
by the Emperor Justinian in 533
A. d. Their discovery at Amalphi
stimulated a general study Of Roman
and Greek literature which led to the
Classic ages. During the Dark ages
learning was at its lowest ebb and
civilization seemed to retrograde,
owing to the masses of barbarians
which. emerged from the north Of
Europe and overran the former
seats of learning.

ORIGIN OF PANTomlMEs

The word "pantomime" is about
twenty-five centuries old. 1t orig
inally meant an actor and not the
act. Literally, the word means the
mime" or imitator of everything
The old Greek and Roman actors did.
Their plays were usually in dumb
show, and movements and gesticula-
lions formed the actors chief art.
Later, the pantomime- which had
now come to mean the act-was con-
tinued into the Middle ages in the
form of the play of Pantaloon,
Colnmbine and Harlequin-clown
vas a later addition-who are sup
posed by some scholars to represent
the ancient deities of the original
pantomime. A little later still, pan
tomime had turned into a ballet
stlll without words, and still CEN
tsring around Harlequin and the
History Magazine.

suez Canal Between Mediterranean
and Red Seas Not First Join
ing OF Waters.

The Suez canal was moi the first
attempt to join the Mediterranean
and the Red seas. Water communi-
cation between them was first
opened by King Seth, about 1900
b. q, who cut canal ffty-seyen
miles long from one Of the branches
OF the Nile to what was then the
northern extremity of the Gulf Of
Suez
Port Said was founded by Ferdi-
nand de Lesseps, builder of the
Suez canal, mostly on mud dredged
from Lake Menzalah. The coast line
here being an open roadstead, the
port had to be artifcially created.
This was brought about by run
ming out to sea two great concrete
moles--one a mile and another one
and one-half miles long, respective
ly, and almost mile wide. The
space thus inclosed forms trisngu-

thirty-foot depth at the entrance.

inner harbor (@The Grand Bassit

BROWN TAIL MOTHS INCREASE
Fest Imported From Europe Has
Spread to Canada and ls
Causing Damage.

Brown-tail moths, the hair from
the caterpillars Of which cause the
extremely irritating human skin
eruption known as abrown-taiI
RASH" have suddenly shown an in
crease IN New England after an al
most complete disappearance, re-
ports DR.. A. L. Quaintance, en-
tomologist of the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture. Similar
measures to those used against the
damaging gypsy moth will be used
IN an attempt to check the spread
OF this nuisance.
The brown-tail pest was brought
to this country from Europe and
first discovered at Somerville, Mass,
IN 1897. In few years it had
spread throughout the New England
states and become unbearable to the
residents of many sections on ac-
count of its poisonous wind-borne
hairs. Many thousands of acres Of
forest also were attacked by the in
sect and the trees defoliated.
The prevailing winds have tended
to cause the spread in north
easterly direction into Canada,
though disease among the insects
in recent years apparently almost
wiped them out. Now, however, they
are again on the increase and caus-
ing trouble.
