NO PRIVACY FOR PRINCES

There is something pathetic in the gratitude ex-
pressed by the Prince of Wales for the attitude of fell
ow-passengers on board his steamer bound for Amer
ica in allowing him to lead the life of ordinary
ocean voyager He has expressed his relief at not be-
ing pursued by autograph-hunters and snap-hotters
while doing his daily dozen two of turns around the
deck. He hopes, he says that the American people
twill allow him to be much ncognto as the French
do when he visits that country as Lord Renfrew.
1t is a vain wish, Americans not so accustomed
to the sight of the worlds notabes the French are
and possibly too not trained to quite so fine display
of courtesy The Prince may well make up his mind
to being the center of attention of less order
y mob wherever he appears in this country However
his fellow-voyagers my politely pretend to ignore ms
presence there will be no such aloofness on land.
Poor Prnce 1t is dreadful thing to be the most
popular and sought-after young man in crowded
world of heroworshippers and curlosty-mongers ANY
snecimen of royalty is doomed to live public life
as a traffic policeman zoo elephant. His doom is
all the more apparent when he happens to soourn for
little while in this democratic land, which thinks so
little of royalty that it runs after royalty than
all the rest of the world together.

SIGNIFICANCE OF LABOR LAY

Labor Day is celebrated generally as grand occa-
sion Tor nduglng sports and social gatherings Yet
like other holidays it has serious purpose back of it.
Its establishment points the fact that the whole nation
not any numerically restricted group or class is Wit
ally concerned with working conditions-wages and
hours safety and compensation for injuries standards
OF vg the Just and peaceful settlement of industrial
differences and so on.
This has always been true but there was a long
period when the general public did not know did
not admit Its vital concern in these things The change
that has come about in this attitude of the strk
ing labor deyelopmens of recent years. Newspapers
and magazines have inquired into and discussed labor
questions more than before. State legislatures,
city councils and Congress have all been greatly
cerned with solving specific labor problems and the
actments of regulating aws
The churches of the land in spite of the strenu-
Gus objections of persons who held that this not
religions domain ALL have shown aggressive in
terest in the labor situation and the issues under dis
cussion They have conducted authoritative nvesti-
cations of facts and have published their conclusions
and insisted their right and duty in understanding
and spreading these facts.
Educators, too have been aroused to the need for
an intelligent study of these matters and have given
investigation and teaching of industrial affairs regu
lar place in school curriculam through modernized
courses in social problems and civics.
All of this activity, when it is honestly undertake
good. thorough study of industrial conditions
and relations is bound to lead to more intelligent
attitude the part of everybody concerned directly
indirectly True understanding breeds sympathy
and tolerance and gives common chance to get
at fundamental probems-a of which things are very
greatly needed in economic and industrial life at
present.
