ABILITY MUST be supported to
get satisfactory results in the man
agement of any enterprise, is incOn-
trovertable in every case either in
private or public affairs. The public
schools at Laurel have grown to a
wonderful success under the direc-
ton of Colonel Tanner; but, that
school has had the most liberal and
enthusiastic support by the state,
and by individuals to help carry in
to effect his ideas and work. He de-
serves credit and the people of
Laurel deserve credit equally for the
success. Now he is to be called by
the State of Delaware to take charge
of the Ferris Reformatory School for
Boys, a semi-penal institution near
the city of Wilmington, wherein the
methods and practices Of the man.
ayers, have drawn severe criticism |
from the legislature and the levy |
court of New Castle until action is
to be taken, by making a change in
the management. 1t has been claimed
that the money was insufficient to
maintain the institution. Be that as
it may, the criticism of unsanitary
conditions as revealed by inspec-
tions by members Of the legislature,
would show a lack of administrative
ability, if the charges are true. The
comment made by the Evening Jour-
nal is a fair and unbiased criticism
and is important because it calls at
tention to a responsibility on the
part of the State. It says:
Everything indicates that the j
board of managers of the Ferris In t
dustrial School for Boys has sue l
ceeded in securing the services of
Lieutenant-Colonel A. E. Tanner, +
Of the Laurel High School, c
for the Office of superintendent of the Z
reform school near Prices Corner. a
Colonel Tanner has made a re- S
fine record in Laurel and C
is held in such high esteem there t.
that we are surprised that he was in a
cllned to lend sympathetic ear to the S
overtures of the Ferris School man o

These are problems which face every
man who considers his responsibilities and
duties.
By making will, you can designate
who shall receive your property. In your
will, you can create a trust for your de-
Pendents, insuring that the property you
leave will be preserved and safeguarded
for their benefit. And you can select an
executor and trustee to carry out your
plans.
The naming in your will of an exec
utor and trustee is second in importance
only to the making of the will itself The
modern trust company is an organization
with special fitness for this duty. 1t has
continuous existence. 1t has specialized
experience. 1t has the council and direc-
ton of men skilled in business affairs. 1t
has financial responsibility. 1t is controlled
and safeguarded by strict statutes.
The written expression of your inten-
tions---that is your will The competent
and sPecially-equiPPed mechanism for the
carrying out of your instentions--that is a
Trust Company.

INDORSE MOTOR
BUSES
They Mean Fewer DepOts,
Says Rail Head

Dallas, Texas.-Motor busses will
eliminate many small railroad depots
and reduce upkeep, according to ]. l..
Lancaster, president of the Texas &
Pacific railway.
"The bus is great leveler Of
towns" he said. persons in a tiny
village have all the advantages of res
idents in good-sized town.
"The busses, by eliminating the dis
tance factor, will enable the railroads
to make stations more infrequent.
There is no reason for having a depot
every two and one-half or five miles,
for 10 miles is only little farther
away by automobile The railroads,
by taking out stations, will save the
cost of maintenance, which is fixed
in busy and dull periods alike, and
obviate the cost of trains stopping so
frequently. Both of these items can
be cut with satisfaction to passengers
and economy to the railroads"

THE LABEL AGAIN

A healthy demand for the union
label will convince the employer that
| the union has strength and influence.
| 1t will also show him that labor has
the buying power. 1t will particularly
convince the small employer, the
small business man, that his interests
are bound up with those of the worker
because the worker is his customer,
and on the workers depend his pros
perity and his very livelihood.
1t is not fallacy to say that a mil
lionaire never kept up a grocery store,
a department store, or even a jewelry
store. They are supported by the
workers.
1t is the workers dollar that makes
the mare go round, it is his labor
which makes and creates the dollar
that the capitalist uses-and keeps or
invests. The workers dollars go be-
cause they have to.
Demonstrate by big demand that
the public wants the union label and
two things will shortly happen-an
increased demand by the merchant
and the wholesaler for union goods
and products, with consequent de-
mand on the manufa .turer; and the
boss will not be as anxious to do bat
tie with organized workers as he has
been prone to do in the past.
1t is therefore clear that the best
way to avoid strikes, the best way
% obtain public, and business support,
he best way to secure more union
made goods is with your dollar back

ers' Defense, Texas Edi-
tor Points Out

Houston, Texas.-"Wage scales set
by organized labor have become rec.
ognized as standards by which all labor
is paid" says the Houston Chronicle,
in leading editorial on the value of
trade unions. The editor declares that
much may be said'' on the work and
worth Of the unions without any
meaningless fiattery or succumbing to
rhetorical intoxication."
"Organized labor has contributed
more to the establishing of high
standard Of living in America, and the
maintenance of that standard, than
all the federal tariff laws in exist
ence," says the Chronicle.
"Organized labor has done more to
take the children of the nation from
toll, and place them in schools, than
all other agencies combined.
"Organized labor has done more to
bring about tolerable living condi-
tions in crowded industrial areas than
any number of commissions and So
cial service bodies.
"Organized labor has done more to
enforce safety rules and the installa-
tion of safety devices; more to pre-
serve the limbs and lives of human
beings than all the self-called frater-
nal and brotherly love societies in the
nation.

the vast majority of people. The

for justice and place in the sun of

labor, whether it would have it or not,
has carried forward the battle in be-
half of all working classes.
Even to the unorganized workmen
on the farms organized labor has
given it's aid and sympathy. Every

WILL REOPEN FIGHT
AGAINST CHILD LABOR

Lowell, Mass.-The annual conven.
ton of the Massachusetts, state branch
of the A. F. of L. voted unanimously
to conduct an educational campaign
in favor of the federal child labor
amendment.
This state was swept by wave of
anti-amendment propaganda led by
Sentinels of the Republic. Massachu-
setts people were bewildered and re-
jected the amendment by three-to-
one vote in a popular referendum held
November 4, last year.
Organized labor is confident the
public is now in receptive mood and
will discuss the proposed amendment
on its merits.

suspicion and hatred between the two
classes Of producers.
Organized labor's accomplish
ments could not have been affected, OF
course, if they had been based on un-
sound principles. 1t has succeeded in
bringing fairly decent wages to the
great body of workers, not only be-
cause it fought valiantly to that end,
but because well-paid body of pro-
ducers is fundamental to the continu-
ed prosperity of an industrial age.
From any single employers view
point, of course, it is desirable to OBJ
tain labor as cheaply as possible; but
from the general viewpoint of ma
tional production and consumption it
is evident that the great body of citi-
zens who make up the working
classes must have purchasing power
if factories are to flourish and sell
their products.
"The more the people can buy the
more factories there will be, and the
greater the profit. The thing moves
in an endless circle.
Organized labor offers no panacea
for human ills. 1t has no method of
creating the millennium. It is willing
to go along slowly with the rest of
American citizens, peacefully work

democracy, loyal to the nations polit-

WOULD BE FINE PICkINGS

In its proposal for leasing the city's
gas mains for period of ten years,
the Columbia Gas Supply Co. agrees
to pay the sum of $275,00 in 20
semi-annual installments of 1880,
or $27,500 year. 1t is figured that
the cents per thousand feet increase
the company proposes to charge for
the first 5000 feet of gas consumed
would net the company between
$4,000 and $4,000 each, year That
means that the company would re-
ceive in this instance alone from IL
to IL thousand dollars more a year
than it would pay in rental for the
mains. That's bad figuring, too
for the Columbia Gas Co.. Not say

its proposition.

THE TRADE UNION MOVEMENT
The American trade union move
ment has accomplished something
more important for those who toll,
and to the nation, than the material
improvements it has established for
wage earners. More important than
shorter hours and higher wages, far
more important than any material
condition which organized labor has
established, is the viewpoint, the un-
derstanding, and the determination
which trade unionism has implanted
in the wage earner's heart and in his
mind. The labor movement has es-
tablished the conviction that the wage
Garner is entitled to a determining
control over his life industry, as fully
as he is entitled TO all other human
rights which are the inheritance of
free men.
In the days gone by, when the
worker had no control over his life
as an employe, he was the helpless
servant of an arbitrary, tyrannical
master. He was compelled to accept
unjust conditions of employment in
the same hopeless, helpless attitude
which has led millions to bow down
in submission before monarch's tyr
amy. The great revolutions of the
past overthrow thrones, and estab-
lished political liberty in their places.
Countless thousands have died so that
mankind could enjoy the priceless
blessings of religious and political
freedom, but the wage Garner discov-

Some persons dread to take an anes-

Under modern methods of inducing

SO rapidly that the patient does not

OPPOSE LABOR LAW

Under an Arizona statute no un-
